an act has been offered in the Senate Of
this state fixing two per cent. per month as
the maximum amount Of fines and penal
ties which building and loan associations
may impose for non payment Of instruments
on stock and interest on loans, excited some
discussion in the Senate on Wednesday af-
ternoon. 1t was warmly favored by Jones,
Payne and Cooper, all of whom spoke of
the peculiar hardships following fines Of
FIVE and ten per cent, these compounded
for six months, and often ending in the
eonfscation of nearly all paid in and bor-
rowed by the poorer or more unfortunate
classes Of stockholders In view of these
facts the bill received a large vote, and will
probably pass = e

COMPLETE REPUBLICAN sUCCEss-GovER-
NOR, LEGISLATURE AND COUNCIL
OVER THREE THOUSAND MAJORITY.
The State election in New Hampshire,
last Tuesday, resulted in complete
triumph for the Republican candidates, from
Governor down. Governor Cheney is re-
elected by the popular vote, by majority
larger than has been gained by any party
for number of years. The Executive
Council and both branches of the Legisla-
ture are decidedly Republican, securing the
United States Senator to succeed Dir.
Cragin.
The latest returns indicate that Cheney S
majority will be 5000, that the Republi-
cans will have 4 of the Councillors, 8 of
the II Senators, and % to 80 majority in
the House. Returns from 234 towns gave
Cheney majority of 3347. Ten towns,
which gave vote of 100 last year, re-
mained to be heard from. The total vote
of the State is nearly 81 900, which is about
1900 more than that of last year, and the
largest ever cast in New Hampshire.

We acknowledge our indebted
ness to the Hon. 0. r. Singleton,
for the Congressional Record of the
9Th inst, containing that gentle
mans able speech in the House OF
Representatives, while in committee
of the whole, considering the bill
making appropriations for the con
sular and diplomatic service, which
reflects great credit upon the vete
ran Representative of Mississippi.
Mr.. Sin gleton is a member of the
committee OH appropriations, which
committee made a reduction in the
bill reported by them OF about
$3.50, 600 below the appropriation of
last year, which was S1,300,000 in
round numbers. MT. Singleton de-
tailed in an able manner the op-
pressed condition of the South, and
the effect it has upon the North
and in the name of the whole peo-
pie, North and South, demanded
retreuchment. He was interrupted
continuously by members from the
other side, endeavoring to divert
him from the subject and bring up
other issues, but he courteOusly
gave way to all, and never for mo,
ment lost sight of his object. We
