NEW HAMPsHIRE'S SENA TORsHIP.
Chandier's Assault ON WadieiEh, aud What
L. Thought OF 1.-THE Prospect.

CONCORD. ". H., Juno 11.-Tho Senatorial
pot is boiling hot and interest In all else is lost
in the question rs to who will be Senator Bells
successor. Mr.. Chandlers assault on Mr.
Wadleigh has caused great excitement. which
has increased rather than diminished during
the day. 1t will have littlo effect. however. ex-
cept to render even more bitter tho two factions
OF the Republican party. The WAdegh man
ayers show feeling OF more confidence to-
night. and boast that no will be nomi-
mated on the first ballot The friends
Of Mr. Blair. however. wear cheerful faces.
and claim to DO able TO defeat Wadleigh
even II their own candidate is not successful.
A now suggestion is that VIM. +. Chambers in
tercst in the fight ia more personal one than
appears on the surface. and that he really is a
candidate FOR the position himself His plan is
said by the shrewdest gucssers to bc to push
Blair Just rs far as possible without letting him
receive the nomination. and then step in and
take Blair's strength. with what scattering votes
he may have held back. and thus secure tho
prze. Leading men in both parties regard his
attack on Wadlcigh rs ili-adviscd, and though
admitted TO bc damaging TO Wadleigh many
declare 1t 20 be- cowardiy to put II out when the
time Tor the propagation OF reply and reiuta-
tion Of the charges IL so limited. The scatter
Ing candidates are evidently much Interested

ton. and their friends are watching every move
mont. ready To strike II an opporiune moment
occurs. Tho probability is that either Blair or
Marston Will be tho nominee of the caucus on
Thursday night which. rs matters now look.
will be equivalent TO an election. there being no
prospect ~ bolt sufficient to affect the result
Of the vote in the Legislature next Tuesday.
The Democrats have thus far taken no steps
toward selecting their candidate They intend
10 pu, up clean. strong man. and vote for him.
At |, ist lending men OF the party SO avow. They
say tnRt none OF the candidates presented by
the Rrpublicans would be acceptable to them.
and they are opposed to all bargains with the
enemy. for they have always been cheated whom
ever they have accepted any oVcrtures from that
quarter. Therefore neither wing Of the Rcpuh-
Leans can hope to receive any aid from their
opponents.
1t is asserted by Wadleighs friends that VIM.
j.. Chandler does not want another Senator at
Washington whom he cannot control. They
claim that the secret Of his opposition II an old
feud bet Seen him and Wadleigh. originating in
some operations of RObcson rs Secretary Of the
Navy. whom Chandler advised 10 aid New
Hampshire Republicans. but which Wadleigh
would not endorse. Rubeson proposed to aid
tho party in tho State through appropriations
on tho Cocheco River. but Wadleigh was
young and tender statesman at that time. and
objected.

Last night a lot of small boys of the
hoodlum stripe sat about the rear Of
the dress circle at the Greenlaw Opera
House and amused themselves BY
keeping up a series Of boisterous and
noisy behavior very annoying to the
remainder Of the audience. Every
time a new feature was revealed
these ill-bred specimens Of the rising
generation would start a clatter with
their feet, hands and voices that would
eiiectually drown the voice Of the
gentleman in attendance, whose de-
scriptionsa are one Of themost attractive
features Of the exhibition. At one
time the racket became so annoying
that the gentleman was forced TO an
nounce that unless it was stopped he
would have them removed. Even this
failed to keep them quiet, though
afterwards they simmered down a lit.
tie. Boys should behave with more
propriety in public places, and unit
they learn how to demean themselve.
like young gentlemen, which the party
referred to were not, they should b,
kept in back yards and away from
refined places Of amusement.

Court.Honse Notes.

The Henry Smith murder case oc-
cupied the Criminal Court the whole
of to-day. Mr.. John 7. Moss was
addressing the jury in behalf of the
prisoner at noon.
Judge Hammond, of the United
States Court, delivered this forenoon
a lengthy opinion in the administrator
case Of Pulliam VS.. Pulliam. 1t in
wolves many new and intricate points
in law and equity regarding the rights
of those whose property is under ad-
ministrative control. The court set
aside the deed of gift in suit and de-
clared it void, 1t also held hat the
administrator was responsible for all
property situated in Arkansas that he
did not sell when it could have been
disposed of, and the opinion was ex-
pressed that he should have gone tc
the property, even at the risk of his
life, to care for it.

ADJUSTMENTS.

MEMPHIS THEATER. = The star Of
the evening at the play of Loves
Sacrifice last evening was Mrs. Raine
who represented the character Of
Margaret. Her success was une-
1uivocal and gracious greetings of APP
plause were given to her merited dra-
matte effort, she having exhibited
more power, energy and earnestness Of
art than the remainder of the cast.
Several others, however, did exceed
ingly we'll among the most notice
able being Miss May Il. Taylor in the
character of Herminie dc Yer
mont" and her effort was recog-
nized by a handsome floral tribute
from her friends among the au-
dience. Miss Foute and Miss Rob
inson gained numerous laurels,
while Messrs. Carson, Dent, Freeman
and DR.. Rogers acquitted themselves
handsomely, and Mr.. Cameron came
in for a share of compliments. On
the whole the beautiful drama was
we'll presented, and the amateurs have
good reason to feel proud of their
achievement. The attendance was
somewhat reduced owing to the in
element character of the elements,
but even that was quite satisfactory.
The performance is repeated at the
matinee to-day with the same cast Of
characters as last evening.
THE ART EXHIBITION -Greenlaw
Opera-hOuse continues to be a leading
center Of attraction, the attendance
being unaffected by either the weather
or entertainments elsewhere. The
audience last night was large and
highly respectable. Paris and its pal
aces, the celebrated Louvre and its
beautiful specimens of sculpture and
art, the churches, the opera-house and
all the leading attractions of the great
city, with Versailles and its many his
torical surroundings, were the subjects
of illustration and description last
night. This afternoon England will
be the subject. A number of Mem
phis views have been added to the
collection and will be a part of the
entertainment tonight.
A FULL rehearsal of Pinafore takes
place at the Memphis Theater tonight,
not, however, for the public to witness.
After a while everyone may see, hear
and be delighted.
SEATS for PinafOre may be secured
at Hollenburg's on and after Monday
next.

lost his wife by yellow fever last fall
married widow who lost her husband
about the same time and by the same
malady. The boys turned out in force
on Thursday night, after the wedding,
and last night they were on hand in
larger number. Just before the rain
storm the happy groom appeared,
handed two dollars to a man in the
crowd, told them to dispense and rally
at the nearest beer-house, and thus
ended the hoorah. If he had not
shown up literally a heavier dose was
in store for tonight.

Seven leading legislative council
officials presented a martial appear
ance yesterday as th%eypranced through
alleys and streets as if on an inspec-
ton tour. The military air of the
party caused many to stop and look as
they passed, and some were heard to
remark that it looked a good deal like
a general and his staff in wal times.
Melancholy had the upper hand of
mirth about the court house to-day.
The tax-eaters looked dreary, the old
rooms looked damp and the business
in the place seemed oppressive and
l%istless. A few taxpayers dropped in
atintervals to turn over a little of their
hard for the benefit of salaried
officials, and this pictures the tone of
things at the court house.
Fourteen members we're initiated

charter members. There was also
another coincidence The accessions

Memphis Lodge up to 1876, which cor
responds exactly to the number given
the lodge when it was first organized
and recognized by the supreme Off
GERS.

berries is forty cents, which is a little
too steep for ordinary purses. They
will be cheaper and more plentiful af-
ter a bit. A box of Mr., Williamson's

Solemn mass for the repose of the
soul of the late Governor John A.
Dix, Of New York, was observed at
st. Peters Catholic church in this
city on Wednesday aud Thursday last.
Considering that General Dix was an
Episcopalian, and that his son the
lev. Morgan Dix, is rector Of Trini-
ty church in New York, this circum-
stance may excite gossip in some cir
cles. General Dix, however, had near
and dear kinsfolk in this city who are
prominent Catholics, and he was held
in high esteem by all classes of church
people, but he was especially rever-
.enced by both the Episcopalians and
Catholics.
