OF the measure. We are disposed to CO.
incide with them on account of the man
ifest benefits, as we'll as because it would
be great improvement, and Wheeling
sadly needs improvements. For "a city
of 1900 inhabitants and great wealth,
it Is less like city than any Of similar
size, probably, in the Union. 1t needs
good streets, good pavements, good public
edifces, and many other things to make
it attractive, The march of Improvement
must commence somewhere, and here Is
a good point at which to begin. Certain
it Is that if only the same old-ta' h'ohed
customs are to be always adhered to, the
growth and future prospects OF the city
must be necessarily impeded.

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION

1t will be remembered that at the last
election in New Hampshire, the result in
the State Senate was declared to be tie,
five to five. A good deal of excitement
was caused among the opposition shortly
after, by the announcement that certain
irregularities had been discovered in the
vote for two ofthe Senators, which would
cause two Democrats TO be seated, and
which would give the party decided
majority in that body. 1t was even intl-
mated that these irregularities had been
unearthed only for party designs, and
that the Clerk lwho was Il Demo-
craft if he took Advantage Of them
to advance the interests Of his party
would be visited with dire punishment,
if indeed it did not end in Il
trouble which would demand Federal
Interference. Now it is stated that Gov
crnor WESTON has declared that these
two disputed seats were irregular, and
that Democrats must have them. The
ground Oh which he makes this declaru-
ton is on a decision ofthc State Council
which says that by the statutes of the
State relating to elections, it is distinctly
provided that when candidate is not
voted for properly by name, the vote
thus cast shall be thrown out. In GER
tain district Republican candidate
named NATHANIEL HEAD was voted
for rs matt HEAD. This iuvali-
dated sufficient votes 10 defeat him.
In the other case, the Democratic
candidate had plurality, but the vote
cast for the prohibition candidate de-
featrd choice. 1t was here decid-
cd chat the prohibitionist was
ineligible because he had not been
q resident of the State during the time
prescribed by law, and his votes Were
thrown out thus again securing the cleo
tion Of Democrat. These decisions, of
course, make the Republicans very angry,
and give them much disappointment,
inasmuch as they have been indulging
in Qualifications over State, which j!
turns out they have not carried. But
they will have to swallow their chagrin,

THE ICE GORGEs.
On the Merrimac.

LOWELL, April 2 THE ice in the Merrimac
river above the falls started to move this after
noon. 1T is believed that by Sun lay it the
present weather continues or rain falls it will
go with rush below the falls. The channel
has been clear for weeks.
On ase Hudson.
ALBANY, April 1.-The ice is gorged six
miles below here and the trains on the Hudson
River Railroad and Boston Railroad are unin-
terrupted. The Mohawk river is beginning to
overflow, but the ice has not broken up. In
this city the water is over the piers and docks,
and the blast furnaces in the lower part of the
city have suspended operations. On State street
the water is nearly up to Dean street and at
the Rensselaer, 81 Saratoga depot The passen-
gers are obliged to gain access to the depot by
an improvised bridge. The flats at Greenbush
and back from the river are all under water
and the inhabitants are much Inconvenience
The water is still slowly rising, being now fif-
teen feet above the low water mark and the
steamboat landing is entirely submerged as far
as Broadway.

THE CARSON MURDER TRIAL
Summing Up for Defence.

BANGoR, April The taking of testimony
in the Carson murder trial was concluded this
forenoon, having occupied seventeen days,
a nd Abner Knowles ESQ.,, occupied the re-
mainder of he day with his plea to the jury
for the defence, and he will probably require
the larger portion of tomorrow. His argu-
ment is able and logical.
He claims that the government must rely
mainly on the accusations of Mrs Dougherty,
whose character is shown 10 be bad, whose tes-
timony is strongly impeached and whose mo-
tives are claimed to be purely malicious.
The closing argument of Attorney General
Plaisted and the charge of the judge will carry
the case into Tuesday or Wednesday of next
week before it will be finally given to the jury.
