New Hampshire.
CoscoiiD, March 12. Returns from 141
towns show a net loss for the Republicans
of about nine hundred. There is probably
no election of Governor by the people. No
figures on the congressional vote can be
eiven. as they have not been returned.
The Democrats are undoubtedly elected
from each of the three districts, Alley W.
HlbbarJ from the first, Samuel N. Bell
from the second, and H. W. Parker from
the third. In the Legislature the Republi
cans will have a strong majority, and also a
majority in the Senate and Council.
. 145 towns give Straw, Republican, 27,
470, Weston 24,459, Blackmer 844, a Re
publican gain of 1,012 and a Republican
loss of 1,937, net loss 925. The remaining
90 towns gave last year Straw 7.4SS, Wes
ton 9,058. This defeats a choice by the
people. Jno. Himball is re-elected mayor
here by a large majority.
Later 182 towns give Straw, Republi
can, G0,885, Weston, Democrat, 28,281,
Blackmer, Temperance, 911, Mason, Liber
af Republican and scattering, 540. This is
a majority for Straw at present of about
1,050. If the remaining 53 towns come
lnas last.year, it will give Straw a majori
ty of -about' 400. Republican Senators are
elected in seven out of lhj twelve districts,
and district No. 2 Is in doubt. Three of
five' Councilors elect are Republicans.
The Republicans have about 40 majority in
tbe Legislature. The three Congressional
districts return Democrats. The vote In the
first is considered close.

Tlie Missouri Penitentiary Gratz
Brown Censured.
St. Louis, March 12. A Legislative
committee, that has been investigating the
affairs of the State Penitentiary, reported
to-oay. They find that punishments have
been frequent, and on soma occasions for
Inadequate reasons, persons havo been
flogged unmercifully with a leather strap,
on the back, until the flesh was raw. They
are also confined in blind cells, without
ll"h't cr ventilation, and sometimes as
many convicts crowded into these cells as
can stand in tbem, and allowed to remain
for days on a bread and water diet.
The committee mention another punish
ment, called beveling, which consists in
seating the convict on the floor and strap
ping his legs in such a way as to compel
him to sit with his legs flat on the floor,
aud then his hand are tied together and
drawn toward his feet, the effect being a
tremendous strain on the muscles of the
legs and back. The committee fijd that
during the last 15 months the prison has
coat the State over $65,000 above receipts,
and recommend that tho convict labor be
let to individuals, as in some other States.
They also find that many irregularities
havo been committed by the officers of tho
prison, and reflict pretty severely on Gov.
Gratz Brown for his connection with the
use of convict labor in the building of some
houses in uenerson uay in wmcii no was
personally interested.

Washington. March 12. The Secre
tary of the Treasury states that the use by
the department or the legal tender reserves
will not exceed three millions, and it is
hardly expected to be much over two mil
lions. The amount drawn from tho reserve
fund is for the convenience of the depart
ment alone, and has no relation whatever
to the -money market and is not concen
trated, at any one place, but distributed in
paying warrants to parties all over the coun
try. There is no Intention at the depart
ment to permanently expand the currency,
and In his views upon this subjectAssistant
Secretary Richardson fully accords Tvith
Boutwell. The Treasurer's statement to
day shows the legal tenders outstanding to
be 357,059,450, being 1,059,450 in ad
vance of the amount shown in the last debt
statement
Exit Boutwell.
Judge Richardson will to-morrow assume
charge of tho Treasury Department as act
ing Secretary, Boutwell having this after
noon made his last official signature. He,
however, has not yet written his letter of
resignation, and will not until his creden
tials arrive, which will be to-morrow
night.
Senator Snmner called on Mr. Boutwell
this afternoon and congratulated him in
these words': I congratulate tho country,
I congratulate the State, and I congratulate
myself in having you as my colleague.

Carpenter Elected President Pro Tern
Washington, March 12. The Vice
President announced that he would be ab
sent to-day and to-morrow. On motion of
Mr. Anthony it was resolved that'Mri'Car-
pentersct as President pro temVItf the ab
sence of the Vice President.
Mr. Carpenter having taken the chair
thanked the Senate for the honor. It would
be his constantendeaYor to perform his duty
faithfully.
On motion of Mr. Anthony the Secretary
of the Senate was directed to wait on tho
President and inform him of this action.
Kegralatlngr tbe Reporters.
Mr. Anthony offered the following reso
lution, "which was agreed to:
Resolved, That it shall be the duty of the
Committee on rules to make all the rules and
regulations respecting the .reporters' gallery
of the Senate, andJ-Deieccupitlon thereof,
and said 'committee isliected to take euch
action n-om time to time' as will confine the
occupation thereof to bona 'fide reporters
for the 'daily newspapers, assigning" not 'to
exceed one seat'to each paper," and'the said
committee" shall have power fo provide a
seat or seats on the floor for the associated
press reporters, and to regulate the Occupa
tion of the same.
Conblliijf Argrncs that there Is No Law
Against Bribery.
The Senate resumed consideration of
Caldwell's case.
Mr. Conkling said he. could find no in
stance in which the British Parliament, an
terior to the statute and anterior to the or
der of the House of Commons which be
came the statute, annulled ab initio an
election because of bribery by a candidate
of a particular person.
Mr. Logan argued that the election of
Senator Caldwell was an act of the Legis
lature, behind which the Senate, as decided
by the courts, cannot go. But an attempt
was made to vitiate the election on tbe
ground of a single act of bribery. Under
what rule or authority was this to be done?
The statutes of England, which have no
controlling or binding force upon us. He
called upon the Senator from Indiana to
produce ono case parallel to that now be
fore them.
Mr. Morton, alluding to Logan's course
on the committee, on privileges and elec
tions, said he'was not prepared to hear his
present argument
Mr. Logan replied that he did not desire
to detail the discussion before the' commit
tee, but it was enough f jr the Senate to
know that he now dissented from the re
port made by the committee in this case,
and on examination he thought his former
views were incorrect. He then proceeded
to show that from the testimony the Senate
would not be warranted in finding Caldwell
guilty of any act of bribery, and that every
witness on wmcn tne senator from Indiana
relied was contradicted by four or five wit
nesses of better reputation.
While .Logan was quoting the testimony
of Thomas J. Anderson against that of
Sydney Clarke, Mr. Morton interrupted by
asking whether he did not know it was
thought in the committee that Mr. Ander
son's testimony was
A Perjnry Throughont.
Mr. Logan remarked this was a most
singular way of prosecuting a man in order
to ruin him. Mr. Anderson's testimony
was that of a man, and ha bore himself
more like a man than those who were pros
ecuting Caldwell. As much could not be
said of the testimony of Sydney Clarke.
There was no witness to contradict Ander
son; but the witness on whom the Sena
tor from Indiana leaned was contradicted
and his testimony impeached by. conips
tent witnesses.
Mr. Stockton argued that there was no
question here over which the Senate had
control. The examination of individual
motives was violative of the Constitution
and the most dangerous doctrine ever in
troduced. The Senate had no riht to in
quire beyond the constitutional provision.
Mr. Morton repliea to tne legal part of
argument, maintaining that the power to
enquire into an election carried with it the
right to enquire into everything connected
with it. The Senate has power to protect
itself from a Senitor elected by bribery.
The debate on the case will be resumed
to-morrow.
Contingent Credit aiobillers.
On motion of Mr. Conkling, it was re
solved that the Committee on Judiciary be
instructed to inquire and report at the De
cember session of the Senate whether tho
Union Pacific railroad, or any company au
thorized to build a branch road to connect
therewith,or any assignee of s'ich company
will be entitled to any lands or bonds for
any road which said company may here
after construct; and that until said commit
tee shall reported to theExecutive oflicers of
the Government, are requested to Issue no
bonds or patent certificates that may be
claimed for roads constructed and reported
after this date. The Senato went Into Ex
ecutive session, and afterwards adjourned.

Memphis, March 12. The Vicksburg,
Miss., Eeralti. of the 8th says the steamer
R. B. Hurt arrived yesterday and her ofll
Cirs bring particulars of a fire at Rolling
Fork and loss ot life. The store of Messrs.
Ring & Moore was destroyed by fire during
Tuesday night. Wednesday morning the
charred remains of Jesse Moore and Mrs.
Moore, Mr. Goodhue and a child, Billy
Jones, were taken from the debris. The
skull of Mr. Moore had been broken in
across the forehead, evidently with an ax"
and tho head of Mr. Goodhue had been
almost severed .from the body, apparently
also with an ax. The bodies of Mrs. Moore
and the child showed no evidences of any
wounds. Mr. Joe Tyng Is missing and it
is feared that he also has been foully dealt
with. It was supposed at Rolling Fork that
Mr. Ring had gone toTicksburgona steam
er a diy or two previous to the occurrence,
but nothing has been heard of him by his
friends here. Billy Jones, the child, was
seven or eight years old, and tho son of a
well known raftsman who had left Billy with
Mr. Moore while he was engaged in lother
sections of the country.
Rolling Fork Landing is on Sunflower
river, at the mouth of a short stream which
connects Sunflower with Deer Creek. The
store of Ring & Moore was the only house
at the landing, and was used as a storing
depot for all the goods put off there. It is
supposed there were a good many inflamma
ble goods there at the time of tbe fire, and
an explosion of powder was heard for sev
eral miles around. Tho murdering of four
or five persons and tbe burning of a house
to conceal the crime, Is enough, of course,
to arouse all sections of the country adja
cent, and Intense excitement prevails. No
clue bad at last accounts been obtained of
the perpetrators of 'he horrible crime. Two
suspicious characters had been seen pre
vious to tbe occurrence in the neighbor
hood, and they have disappeared. Robbery
was doubtless the principal object in.view,
but the fiends being discovered at this,
they probably murdered tha inmates of the
house and then fired it, hoping to hide all
traces of their bloody work. The body of
Mr. Goodhue was brought to the city on
the Hurt, and was buried from St. Charles
church yesterday afternoon. The building
and stock of Ring & Moore were insured in
different agindes in this city for about
$7,000.

A FBATXIBR -WEIGHT PCGII.IST.
From the Tnrf, Field and Farm.
Dr. Mary E. Walker, if wa miy believe
a Washington correspondent, was the herc
iua of a scene a few days ago when she
made a muscular demonstration that would
have done credit to a feather weight of the
prize ring. Two rows of seats in one of
the gentlemen's gall- ries of the House of
Representatives were set apart for ladies
Dr. Walker, though not dressed as a lady,
sought to occupy one of these seats. The
doorkeeper in chargo stopped her, when she
Indignantly asked if she was not a lady?
Ho replied that he did not know, and mut
tered something about examination, when
the fiery little doctor let drive at him with
her fist, planting a blow squarely on his
nose. The argument, if not convincing, se
cured the right of way, and the feat her
weight marched triumphly to the coveted
seat. This incident reminds us of another
scene,iu which the belligerent spirit of the
Doctor was mado manliest, in tho loony
of the Louisville Post-office a big washer
woman with a brogue decidedly Irish ad
dressed a sneering remark to the Doctor,
who was then arrayed in a half-military
uniform, wearing upon her shoulders the
straps of a Major. The washerwoman was
four times the size of Walker, nevertheless
the little body resenteJ the insult with a
blow. She carried an umbrella in her hand,
and when the big woman rushed at her full
of anger, sua hoisted tnis umbrella and
made it serve as a shield. She danced be
hind it screaming defiance, while her burly
opponent vainly tried to execute a flank
movement and take ner revenge. It was a
ludicrous scene, and had not the police in
terfered it might have proved disastrous to
the Doctor. As the Walker is about at the
end of her rope in her great role ot refor
mer, and as she seems to be not only will
ing, but able to fight on slight provocation,
why do not some of the magnates of the
prize ring secure her for a star engagment?

The Defeat of the British Ministry.
Gladstone Tenders Bis Resignation.
Disraeli tbo Probable Premier.
London, March 12 The scene in the
House of Commons last, night when the
defeat of the ministry bill was announced
was Indescribable and the' excitement was
intense, while the opponents of the mea
sure indulged- in tumultuous, cheers.
Among those in the strangers' gallery,
which was crowded ddflhg the debate,
were the Prince of Wales, the Princess
Louise, and Prince Christian. The Scotch
and Welch members supported the bill.
The Catholics were unanimous in their op
position. After the announcement of the
result Gladstone arose and said! The. vote
just given Is certainly of a grave character.
As the House never wishes to continue its
deliberations when the existence of the
government is in doubt, I move an ad
journment until Thursday. The motion
was carried.
In consequence of the late hour at which
the result was reached, the ediorial com
ments in this morning's ournais are meagre
and restrained. The Advert iser and Stan
dard are jubilant over the rejection. The
Advertiser says it cannot imagine that ever
Gladstone will stoop to endeavor to remain
in ofllce. The Telegraph considers the res
ignation of the ministry exceedingly pro
bable. The Times doubts that he will take
such a course.
The bill did not receive the vote of a sin
gle Conservative member. Fony-seven
Liberals, of whom thirty-six were Irish
men, voted against it. Fifteen Irish mem
bers voted for it. Seventeen members, in
cluding Isaac Butt, the member from Lim
erick, were absent. Forty members partic
ipated in tho debate. John Bright, Jacob
.Bright, his brother, and the Marquis of
liorne supported tne government.

waited on the Queen at noon to tender his
resignation. It is probable Disraeli will
be summond to form a new ministry.
The Globe this afternoon says Gladstone's
audience with the Queen at Buckingham
Palace lasted half an hour. The result is
notyet known in London.
London, March vi, li p. m. miorma-
tion obtained to as late an hour as 10
o'clock to-night from the members of the
'iovernment, shows that no uehnice course
has yet been decided upon. It is reported
that Disraeli and Galhorne Hardy strongly
object to take office at the present juncture,
but the rank and hie ot the uonserrative
party are ambitious of power and the lead
ers will probably yield to their desire, and
taking office will dissolve Parliament quick
ly and go to the country will the expectation
of winning thirty seau ana seeping inoiuce

There was a great gathering at tho Re

Irish University bill declared that they

A CONSTITUTIONAL CONTENTION.
3 -a
Report of Minority of Senate Com-
mlttce.
The undersigned, of tho special commit
tee to whom was referred Senate bill No.
275, to be entitled, "An Act to call a con
vention to amend, revise, or form a new
constitution for the State," do not concur in
the recommendation of tho majority that
said Dili pass, but believe that the repose of
the btate and the higuest interests ot the
people demand that it should be rejected.
We have no evidence before us, nor does
any legitimate .and authentic evidence ex
ist, that the people of the State think it
Wise or expedient that tbe entire constitu
tion should be revised, and perhaps disturb
ed to its very foundations.
Independent of the heavy expense which
a convention would impose upon the peo
ple, in per diem and mileage of members,
pay of oflicers, bills for printing, stationery,
etc., there are other weighty reasons why a
convention should not now be called.
It is too painfully true that in the de
moralization of the .times it is believed by
very many of those who follow politics as
profession, thai; a constitutional
convention may be as readily
called as an extra session of the General
Assembly. They would as quickly vote for
the calling of the former, as they would
vote for a resolutiod asking the Governor to
convene tho latter. They appear to think
that the Constitution of the State may as
well and as frequently be changed, as any
simple statute. They forget that the Con
stitution is tbe fundamental law of tbe
land, and that the shifting and changing
of it, is the shifting and changing of the
foundation of the edifice of State. Those
who attempt this, may well know what
they intend to effect, what evils they hope
to remedy, but tney little know what may
be the direful results. Imperfect material
cr unikillfbl workmen may mar the beauty
or cause the downfall of the whole super
structure, however broad Its foundations,
or harmonious it pre portions.
An eminent writer, treating 01 con
stitutional conventions, says: "That, how
ever hedged about by legal re
straints," they 'obviously exhibit more
features that are menacing to republican
liberty than any other in our whole politi
cal structure."
The minority do not insist that there
should be under no circumstances another
Constitutional Convention, but that it is
not now demanded by the will nor th9 ne
cessities Of the people. If amendments be
required, let them be made in accordance
with the provisions or tho present uonsti-
tution, Art. Xf, Sec. 2.
The same eminent writer, to wcomreier-
ence has been made, says further:
"Provisions regulating the time and mode
of affecting organic changes are in the na
ture of safety valves, they must not be so
adjusted as to discharge their peculiar func
tions with too great facility, lest they be
come the ordinary escape pipes oi party
pission; nor on the other hand must they
discbarge it with such aim amy ttiat tne
force needed to indues action is sufficient
also to explode the machine."
Hence the danger in tinkering with such
machinery.
Tbe right of the people at any time
to amend their Constitution must
be admitted. But it is obvious
that were the existing governmert
of a State or any branch of it invested with
the power without condition or limit to call
conventions to change the organic law,
there would be ciuse to apprehend two
dangers one that the permanent and there
fore paramount and sacred character of that,
law would ba impaired, for what the gov
ernment could at any time procure to be
changed or repealed, would in effect be but
an ordinary statute; the other, that our
conventions would become the arenas and
our constitutions the objects as well as the
instruments of party conflict. The under
signed are therefore constrained to urge the
rejection of the bill.
If it should pass, it should certainly be so
amended:
1. That in the vote for convention or no
convention, a majority of all the votes cast
in the State at that election for sheriffs of
the various counties should be required lo
determine in favor ot the call of the Con
vention. Otherwise by reason of a failure
to vote upon this particular issue, the call
for a convention maybe carried by less than
a third of the votes cast at that election.
2. The election for members of the con
vention should not be held until after it is
determined that a convention should be
held. For it is evident that the most capa
ble men will not enter a canvass and
thoroughly discuss before the people the
Questions which will probably arise in the
convention until it is definitely determined
that the convention will be held.
3. Members of the present General As
sembly should be declared inelligible as
members of the convention, and thus re
lieve themselvoj from the possible charge
of selfish legislation in this matter, and at
the same time comply with the spirit of that
provision of the Uons'itution against the
holding of moro than ens lucrative office it
the same time.
All of which is most respectfully submit
ted, a . a. osipes.

BErORT OF MAJORITY OF HOUSE COIIMIT
TEE.
Mr. Speaker, I am instructed by a ma
jority of the Judiciary Committee to re
commend foi passage House bill No. 118,
entitled, "An act to authorize the people to
call a constitutional convention," and sub
.mitthe following reasons: They are of the
opinion the present constitution of Tennes
see does, in some important anu vital mat
ters, need both revision and amendment.
The formation of a new constitution, being
a subiect of the utmost interest and impor
tance to the entire State, should receive the
intelligent and deliberate consideration ot
the neonio. in all of the step3 necessary to
be taken. Therefore yom committee heart
ily favor the provision of the Dill wmcu sud
mits the Question as to whether or not a
convention shall be called to a vote of tie
peoplo at the August elections of 1874, atd
the convention, if called, to convene on the
last Mnndav inNovember, 1874.
Under the organic law of the land, the
nniv wav in which a constitutional conven
Hon can be called, is by an act of
the Legislature. Unless a special session
hp. rallnd. the Legislature will not meet
attain until January, 1875. It is plainly evi
dent, that a very large portion of the people
of the State earnestly desire a convention
hail rx called. If this bill passes, the
Question will not be submitted lo a vote cf
iho people lor more iuau jc uu a wui.
This will cive tho amplest time for a pub
lic discussion of all the reasons for and
against a convention. If a convention be
vntfld down, nothing detrimental to the
nnblic eood will have resulted from a pat
sat of the bill. If a convention be called,
It will be an indorsement of the action of
this General Assembly by onr constltuen-
m. The submission of the question at the
August elections, 1874, will impose no cost
upon the State. If a convention is needed,
and Is called, any obiectlon to it, on account
nf its exnense to the State, is met by the
importance of tho vital interests of the
people lb Wilt lJ trtllGK il'J n w
Philip Lindsley, Chairman pro tern.
The fr ends of the University of Mlchl
on are beginning to Inquire it nothing can
be done to stop the frequent resignations
of professors in that institution. An in
crease of salaries might perhaps help the
matter.
