termined to Steal the state.
CONCORD, n. H., Dec. 2.-The special
session Of the New Hampshire legislature
began to-day. The gallery was thronged
with spectators attracted by the extraor-
dinary public exigency which, il Is
claimed, requires special session. The
subject Of the qualification Of members
was referred 10 the judiciary committee.
This reference is understood TO mean
that a compromise has been effected by
which the session may be speedily ter
minated.
The house judiciary committee to-nieh
voted TO recommend that l. democrats
and 10 republicans be stricken from the
roll OF the house, four on account of du-
ties, seven because they are federal APP
pointees, ten for change of residence and
one because of judicial appointment, The
question Of the eligibility Of the 10 repub-
licans who acted as census enumerators
will be cided tomorrow. The opinion is
that the committee will divide on party
lines and this will precipitate long and
acrimonious discussion.
