A DISPATCH last night from Concord,
New Hampshire, gives the following as
the latest phase Of the recent election:
1.-The entire returns Of the State election
have not yet been received. The Repub-
licans still claim majority in the house
OF eleven, which they say will nS be
reduced below nine. The Democrats
have q msjority in the council, which
will be an obstacle in the way of remov-
ais from Office. The Democrats elect
two congressmen-Jores in the first dis
tric', and Bell in the second. Blair, Re-
publican, is elected to congress in the
third district.

The ground, the forest anu the elements
were all alike literally filled with snow.
