NEW HAMPSHIRE ELEcTIoN.-Much
interest has centorcd in the result of the
State election in New Hampshire, which
was held last Tuesday. During the war
New Hampshire was recognized as true
Republican State, though the party ma
jority was small. or late years the CON
tests have been very close, neither party
being certain of success. There is Il body
Of conservative Republicans who will not
stick to the party when they believe it
wrong, strong enough to carry the cleo
ton for whichever side they support
This vote has been given to the Demo-
crats on two or three occasions, carrying
the State for that party. In 1871, New
Hampshire elected fun delegation of
Democratic Congressman but in 1872
the state gave Grant over /, coo majority.
The following year the Republicans
elected their Governor and two out Of
three Congressmen. This result was re-
veGsed last year, the Democrats choosing
the Governor and n majority Of the Leg
isaturc. The election held last Tuesday
resulted in most gratifying Repubi-
can triumph, that party having elected
the Governor, Legislature, and entire
delegation to Congress. The result is
gratifying in this rospcct-it shows that
the country is awaking to the danger Of
permitting the reaction against the Re
publican party to proceed too far. From
causes not necessary to euumolate here,
the party met with general reyerses in
the elections held last Tall, which were
vauntingly claimed by the Democrats as
indicating that the people had lost conf
denco IN its rule The New Hampshire
test proclaims that if they have, they do
not feel disposition to do worse and
trust the government Of the country into
Democratic hands.

A NEW INDUsTRY.-One would sup
pose that the means for the education OF
youth would be looked upon by the
hounds Of corruption us atlordng but n
poor chance for the exercise Of their pc
cular talent. But the developments
made 10 the last Grand jury at San
Francisco, reveal the astounding fact
that parties desiring situations rs teach
ers in the public schools Of that city, can
obtain them by leoing the proper person,
who appears to be waiter ut one Of the
leading hotels. AS an Illustration, two
female teachers obtained situations by
paying him $l25 each, who had previous
ly sought the positions for several months
unsuccesstully, but within two weeks af-
ter making their little arrangements"
with the waiter, wcrc nominated and
elected. Further Investigations had n
tendency 10 show that these were not the
only ones who had obtained situations in
that manner, and the reports current,
that positions for tcachersh,ps were bought
and sold since the present Board Of Edu-
cation took office were confirmed, though
at last accounts no evidence had been Sc
cured to tasten the guilt upon any mcm-
Der Of the Board. If there is any NAL
Ioasanoo in Office that should be punished
to the full extent Of the law, it is that
which socks TO make orr schools and
seniinaries a place the patronage Of
which is dispensed either through favor
itism or the qualification Of corrupt greed.
The matter viii be thoroughly inyosti-
gated and it is to be devoutly hoped that
justice will not be balied in this Instance.

IL the Sacramento District Court on
Wednesday morning, the case Of the
People vs.. the State Board of Education
involving the validity Of their action in

examination in favor Of the plaintiff, with
view to a speedy appeal to the Supreme
Court, where the question will be argued
at length and an early decision had. Be-
fore the lst Of June, the time fixed for the

4 FaENcHY SUICIpE.-Frenchmcn,
when desiring to leave this mundane
sphere before the time in which they
would depart in the due course Of nature,
have frequently ascended tho column in
Place Noadome and dashed themselves

Of Washington has had a similar trage-
dy;a young Mboring man by the name
OF Thomas McMuhon in despair at his
condition, being unable to obtain work,
threw himself from the apex Of the Capt.
tol dome. In his descent Of 100 feet he
was literally dashed to pieces. This
tragic event occurred on the 10Th Of

THE CHINESE CoNyIcTs AT SAN
QUENTIN.-There are at present about
200 Cinnamon in the State Prison at San
Quentin. They chafo very little under
prison restraint and enjoy excellent
health. They perform tasks willingly,
and are eager, from selfish motives, of
course, to learn all they can both in shop
and school. Manufacturers have found
contracts for the labor Of Chinese convicts
very profitable. The Chinese work in the
laundry, in the cooking department, in
the wagon, harness, boot and shoe shops,
and in the furniture factory. Some of
those beautifully inlaid boxes, in which
the different colored woods are so cum
ningly dovetailcd that the shades blend
as if touched by an artists brush, are the
work Of Chinese convicts. Time seems
to be of no value to them and they are
such fatalists that whatever beialls them
is taken as their luck and they do not
murmur, however hard their fate may
/ be.

AttwentY minutes past seven o'clock
last evening an earthquake shook per-
sons and things around generally on the
bluff. The quake" shook Windows
and buildings for exactly sixteen sec
onds. Our earthquake reporter when
the shock occurred seized his watch and
timed the thing. The vibrations we're
north and south, and we're exceedingly
rapid. The fret shock lasted about six
seconds, and while the vibrations con-
tinued, a second much more violent fol-
lowed, which lasted ten seconds. In
many portions Of the city the shock was
quite violent and frightened a number of
people, many of them leaving their resi-.
dences and rushing out into the streets.
The earthquake was of the tremor kind,
no shaking, heavinP or rocking of the
earth being perceptible. Somebody says
Of earthquakes, that the earth was ia
commissions" but it may have had only
the epizootic last evening.

take a great deal of exercise in the open
field. The work and excitement Of the
day had sharpened their appetiles, and
fall justice was done to the many tempt
ing dishes that graced the tables. There
we're some very happy little speeches,
some practical and excellent speeches,
setting forth the aim of the true sports
man and throwing out valuable sugges-
tons. The meeting has been a very
pleasant one, aud will doubtless be fol-
lowed by many happy reunions. The
Appeals report of last nights feast,
after abiding to the address Of welcome
by Mr.. Arthur Wheatley, continues:
The bill Of fare was quite recherche,
and certainly afforded pleasure to the
