NEW HAMPSHIRE.
The State Election.

Concord, March 13.-Sixty towns
and cities give Prescott, (Republicanl,
1878; Marcy (Democrat), 9,171; scat
tering, 80. The same towns in 1876
gave Chiny (Republican), 1907; Marcy
(Democrat), 9,2S2; scattering, SO. Re-
publican net loss, 15S.
Reports from the principal towns in
New Hampshire, at O'Clock indicate
nothing decisive as to the result OF the
election, owing to the unfavorale wealth
er. The vote is yet light. At Concord,
in wards and 5, Briggs Republican,,
for Congress, was considerably behind
his ticket, and Sulloway (Democrat), is
proportionately ahead. At Nashua the
Democrats will probably elect the may
or and majority of the aldermen. At
Portsmouth, the Republicans look for
an increased majority. At Claremont,
Kent Democrat), for Congress, is ahead
of his ticket; also at Keene. Nothing
definite has been received from Frank
Jones' district, except from Dover,
which reports him as not running so
far ahead of his ticket as at previous
elections.
Concord, n. H., March 12.-One
hundred and forty-one towns and cities
give Prescott, 28,942; Marcy, q, 1854;
scattering 230. In 1876 the same places
gave Cheney, 29,76S; Marcy, 20, ,496;
Scattering 316. 1t is probable that Pres
colts majority in the state will reach
$500. The returns received from
Congressional districts are meagre
and not sufficient to definitely deter
mine the result.
A private dispatch from Jones this
evening says he will have 500 majority.
The Republicans will doubtless have
fifty to seventy-five majority in the
house; eight out of twelve senators, and
claim four out of five counsellors. The
election was unusually quiet.

Alsace and Lorraine.

Berlin, March 13.-The recent order
of the German authorities, which as
serts the men who formerly served in
the French army should quit Alsace
and Lorraine Immediately or accept
German nationality, will be brought to
the notice of the Reichstag by the dep
uties from these provinces. The order
has been modified but only SO as to
offer better terms to those who are
willing to become Germans. The order
affects five thousand families. On re-
yiving the debate on the budget in the
Reichstag, Herr Besancon, deputy
from and mayor of Metz, made a sem
sational speech, describing the runious
state of affairs in his constituency, and
asked for self-government for Alsace
and Lorraine. He quoted statistics
showing that property in Lorraine is
now worth only half of what it was be-
fore the annexation. The Ultramonte
deputies applauded the speech.

The Cos, ., a sIae. Hills Railroad.

The project of building railroad to
the Black Hills from divers points on
the Union Pacific line is being talked
about by journalists possessed of super
fetal knowledge and impulsive natures,
Just as if all that was necessary to con-
struct such road was simply to re-
solve so to do, ond then proceed with
the work. 1t seems to be taken for
granted that men of wealth like Jay
Gould need but raise their magic wand
and say, "Let it be done," and the
work will go on as a matter of GER
taipty. These omniscient and potent
journalists are respectfully asked,
Have yeu ever counted on the cost of
this little enterprise? And has it oc-
Cured to you that thedifference in
the cost of few miles may overbal-
ance all the desired preferences for any
special locality A careful considera-
tion of this question leads us to the
conclusion that, surprising as it may
seem, a railway from any point on the
| road to the Hills will cost not less than
four millions of dollars. Twenty miles
of distance in the length of such road
may make the snug little difference Of
half million. Other things being
therefore equal as between Sidney and
Cheyenne, it is obvious that Sidney,
the nearest point to the Hills, would
get the preference; but here the ques-
tion arises, first, as to the relative
character of the routes, as to the gra-
dients and cost of grading; and second,
as to the influence and assistance which
can be brought to bear by these locali-
ties. AS to the first proposition, We
are unable at present to speak, the sur
| veys not having been made, but upon
the second much can be said on both
sides. There is much room for careful
consideration. First of all, the bonus
which can be assured to the Union Pa
cific projectors is unquestionably favor
able to Cheyenne. Its citizens are
wide awake and more able than those
of Sidney, and there is no doubt that
Denver, which is also interested in
direct line to the Hills, would give
them material assistance. Then, again,
it would make the Kansas Pacific and
! Union Pacific both vehicles of through
shipment. That the enterprise of
road to the Hills is not a matter of
child's play is evinced by the fact that
the Union Pacific directors at their
last meeting, though favorable to a
road, did not consider themselves able
to complete more than hundred miles
this year. and depend for its further
extension upon part of the returns of
the first one hundred miles. Omaha

Washington, March 13.-In accord
ance with a request of the President,
Senator Patterson, of South Carolina,
to-day presented a paper containing the
views Of the South Carolina Republic
cans who have suggested new elec-
tion. 1t suggests that Chamberlain be
recognized as governor, and the legisla-
ture be allowed to meet, with the un-
derstanding that they pass only regis
tration law and law for a new cleo
ton; that Chamberlain and Hampton
each select two of the board of can
vassers, and that Gov. Ruger select the
fifth, the election then to be carried on
under Ruger's orders, he to use the

Packard VS.. Matthews.

New Orleans, March 13.-Several
days ago letter was received by Pack
ard from Stanley Matthews, conveying
a proposition looking to his packard 81
surrender of the executive authority.
The tenor of the letter is the same as
that sent by the same writer to Cham
berlain. A dispatch from Packard
states that he will decline to make any
reply, for the reason that Matthews, in
his argument before the tribunal, con-
ceded Packard's right to the executive
chair, and also because Matthews was
but a private individual, and had not
been commissioned by either admins
tration or party to make such propo-
sition.

SOUTH CAROLINA.

Hampton Acknowledged by the Courts.
Charleston, March 13.-The question
of the conflicting claims of Hampton
and Chamberlain to the governorship
came up in the Circuit court to-day, as
involved in the validity of commit
ment by 4 trial justice appointed by
Hampton. Judge Reed decided that
the authority of the trial justice must
be respected rs that of a de facto and
de jure officer of the state. This de-
cision establishes the legality of the
Hampton government as to Charleston
circuit. Other circuit judges through
out the state had already made similar
decisions.

A Raw of Democratic Hope.

New Orleans, March 13.-From the
fact that soldier who killed another
was by order of Gen. De Trobriand,
turned over to the superintendent of
the Nichols police at New Orleans,
some persons have supposed this equiv
alent to a recognition of the Nichols
government, but the officials say there
is no political significance whatever in
the order of Gen. De Trobriand, nor did
any instruction emanate from Wash
ington concerning the transfer of the
soldier to the police.

Alexander H. Stephens to-day, and
passed some time in conversation.

Hayes was shaping his policy something
after that of Gen. Washington, by call
ing around him good and true men,
without regard to their political or
partisan antecedents. He predicted
lasting benefit to the country
if the policy shall be carried out.
Stephens also said, as to the southern
policy: "All that the people of the
south desire is to be left to themselves
to govern themselves as may seem
best to them-and all Hayes can or
need do is to see that their govern
ments are republican in form, and that
they obey the laws and keepthe peace. y

No Action in the Kellogg Case.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Morton, chairman of privileges ard
election committee, says the majority
report of the committee in the Kellogg
case will not be presented to the Senate
te-day. The reason for the delay is
supposed to be owing to the absence of
Republican Senators. The Democrats
constitute nearly majority. There is
other business ready for action by the
Senate, which will now have to await
nominations or executive business.

ding new lustre to his personal appear
