CLOSE OK TUB 8TBOGGLE. Decision of Che New Hampshire Sen atorial Contest. ' . Concord, N: H., June 8. Upon the assembling of the Senate this morning the President announced that the opinion . of tho. Supreme Court touching the matters submitted to them by resolution as to the eligi bility of Messrs. Priest" and Proctor to hold 'seats in the Senate had been received. The opinion was read and ordered to be entered upon the min 11161. The court declines to pass an opinion upon the action of the Gov ernor and Council in the matter asCa completed act performed in. the dis charge of the express duty .required of the executives-department ;by the constitution and fundamental law, holding that such an . opinion could have no greater weight than the crit icism of one branch of the government upon the action of a co-ordinate branch. Passing any further consid eration of the executive action Tri the matter, the court assume that Messrs. Priest and Proctor " received proper credeutials and summons to assemble with the other Senators and take the prescribed oathS of office, thereby be coming Senators, subject to the con stitutional authority of the Senate as final judges of the qualifications and election of its members, it appearing that thc.Senate had passed upon their qualifications and pronounced them duly elected and qualified, their action became final and there could be no appeal. Otherwise there would have been some provision iu the ' funda meHial law of the State for some other court or tribunal by quo warranto, mandamus or other process to revise the action of the Senate. The court was, therefore, ' of the ' opinion that when the Senate adjudged Messrs. Priest and Proctor duly elected Sen ators their action' was final and con elusive as to their ritjht.' The opinion was based on the assumption" that at the time of the action of the Senate a constitutional quorum was present. The opinion is signed by Chief Justice Cushing-apd Associate Justices Ladd and Smith. ; V Geo. II. Stowell, President of the receding Republican Senate, received this morning a copy of the opinionof J the Supreme Court on the Senatorial luG8tiorrj accompanied. ly j a. letter from Chic?

The favorable change in the pros pects of the growing wheat crop at the West and Northwest,' coupled with the more.favdrable reports from California and Europe generally, have changed the tone and spirit of our market .very .decidedly; the timely rains at tho West and Northwest have changed the prospects for the future, and we find many farmers that were not, disposed . to, sell, their. T wneat are. now ottering it quite Ireely an? P"es m most localities nave aecnnea. in certain localities the injury to the t winter wheat by frost and drought has been serious, but this may be neutralized in some measure by the increase in the acre- - The reports of serious injury in Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri from the. grasshopper and . the chinch-bug prove to be greatly magnified indeed it was an 'immense humbug," and the wonder is that so many intelli gent persons have beeti misled by it. The accounts from these States are certainly far more encouraging, where the ininrv from frost was no rtanhr. serious, but recent rams have done much good, and the same is true of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan; but from Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas the reports are unfavorable. Telegraphic advices from California are quite favorable; the harvest has been progressing' about ten days in .the iwheat J growing , counties in the State, and, the result is quite as favor able as we could expect. The advices from Oregon are even more favorable than from California, and a liberal supply is promised estimated from both States at 400,000-tons though we think it premature to give such estimates, and therefore do not attach much importance to them. Prom the Atlantic States the reports are unfa vorable, but from Canada we have favorable accounts. Our advices from Europe are more favorable for their crops, and should they have favorable " wfamer anu umeiy rains a gmnl re-, salt may be counted on, as the area under wheat aud rye is but little be low aa average. - Iu Great Britain thus far the weather has been exceedingly favor able, and the crops look' well, but the stocks of wheat, oats and barley are now greatly . reduced ; the consump tion - of, foreign grain quite Jarge. The quantity of wheat now afloat from California is 4,033,000 bushels bushels,' and from this) coast about 1,109,000 . bushels together, 5,132, 000 bushels; to this add the quantity afloat for the United Kingdom from other countries, and find it ample for their ; probable wants for this and next month. The exports from this port the past week have been 479,783 bushels, against 1,350,144 bushels the corresponding week last year. Mo Fears lor Onto ana Penueylvaula. : Y Petersburg Star.J The coming political batth-s in Ohio and Pennsylvania are exciting unusual interest. ! In certain localities there appears to be doubt as to the result, but we have none. Pennsyl vania was carried last year on issues local and national, and the defeated party represented all. the policies and sympathies of the present Governor, again a candidate. In Ohio the Demo cracy have little to feaf. I hey; have a past prestige that is almost invinci ble, and they are running the Earae ticket which but recently changed the political complexion of the Common wealth. The . name of " Allen is a tower of strength. Besides, the Re- publicans have an internal war to settle; the Hayes and Taft factions are bitterly opposed: And" when the former received tbaGabernatoriat n'omi nation there was Vegistered the apathy; if not the opposition, of all the Catholic and most of the foreign vote of Ohio.7-From hut standpoint there is no possibility of Republican -victories in either of these States, and if we are right the Presidential "elee- tion will , have - been already settled before-the centennial ' year ' arrives. The whole country is clamorous for a change, and .will wacpepty any change rather than .remain' -.quieSceut.Vii;r' . r.

In many of these cases the persons say that their pain and suffering cannot be expr. ssed,' as in cases of Scrofula, where, apparently, the whole body was one mass, of corruption, if Vesetinb will relieve pain, cleanse, purify and care such dis eases, re-toriBg the patient to perfect health, after tr. ing different physicians, many remedies, suffer ing for years, is it not conclusive proof, if you are a sufferer, you. can be cured f . Why is this medicine performing such great cures? it works in the blood, in the circulating fluid. It can be truly called the Great Wood Purifier. " The great source of disease originates in the blood ; and no medicine that does not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, has any just claim upon public attention. When the blood becomes lijfeleas and stagnant, either from change of weather or of climate, want of - exercise, irregular diet, or from -any other cause, the Vxea tinb will renew the blood, carry off the putrid humors, cleanse the stomach regulate the bowels, and impart a tone of vigor to the whole body. The conviction is in the public mind as well as in the medical profession that the remedies supplied by the Vegetable Kingdom are more safe, more success ful in the cure of disease, than mineral medicines.

" A Magnificent Conception, wondcr ; fully carried out." The necessity of a noDnlar medium for the renre- - sentation cf the productions of onr great artiste, . has always been recognized, and maty attempts have been made to meet the want.- 'The successive ' failures which so Invariably followed each attempt in this country to establish an art journal, did not ', prove the indifference of the people of America to the claims of high art. So soon aa a proper ap preciation of the want and an ability to meet it were -: shown, the public at once rallied with enthusiasm to its support, and the result was a great artistic and commercial tiiumph THE ALD1NE. ' THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regu-1 larity, haa none of the temporary or timely Interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It 18 an ele- , gant miscellany of pare, light, and graceful litera ture; and a collection of pictures, the rarest speci , mens of artistic skill, in black and white. ,A1- though each succeeding number affords a frern pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty r THE ALDINE will be most appreciated after It ia bouiid up at the close of. the year. : While other publications may claim superior cheapness, as com- . fiared with rivals of a similar class, THIS ALD1M a s aa unique and original conception alone end -unapproached absolate.y. without competition m orice or character.' The possessor of a comolcie . volume can not duplicate the quantity of fine paper -and engravings in any other rhape or number f volumes for ten timet it cost; and,-there it the chrome, besides! - - , The national feature of THE ALDINE must be taken in no narrow sense. True art is cosmopoli tan. While THE ALDINE ia a strictly American institution, it docs not confine itself entirely to the reproduction of native art. - Its mission ia to culti vate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that will) discriminate only en, grounds of intrinsic merit. Thus, while placing before the patrons of THE ALDINE, aa a leading characteristic, the pro-. ductions of the most noted American artists, atten tion will always be given to specimens from foreign maaters, giving subscribers all the pleasure and in struction obtainable from heme or foreign sources, -: The artistic illustration of . America scenery, original with THE ALDINE, is an important f ea- ture, and its magnificent plates are ef a size more appropriate to the satisfactory treatment of details than can be afforded by any, inferior page. ; The Judicious interspersioH of landscape, marine, figure, and animal subjects, sustain aa unabated interest, impossible where the scope of the work confines the artist too closely to a single style of subject. The literature of THE ALDINE la a light and grace ful accompaniment, worthy of the artistic features, with only such technical dlaqniaitioue as do not in- -erf ere with the popular interest of the work. . ; PREHIUII FOR. 1875. . .
