Legislature—New Hampshire Politics—A Grand Social Event in the “Granite State”— What was Done on New Year's Day—$~c., . f * 4'C; S' 1 -- Boston, Jan. 4. To the Savannah Herald : Tbc getting of One Governor out and another in, in Massachusetts is quite a complicated piece of business. Numerous forms and cus toms have been handed down from the old colony times, and there are others of mod ern origin. The first day of the session is occupied by the organization of the two Houses and the annual sermon. After the two Houses are organized, the Governor, the Legislature, preceded by the Sergeaut-at- Anns, and the various departments of the State Governmpnt are escoried by the Inde pendent Corps of Cadets to the Old South Church, where the annual sermon has beeu preached from time immemorial. The dis course on the occasion usually partakes somewhat of a political character, and is accepted as a part of the gospel to govern the legislation of the session. This year the preacher was Rev. A H. Quint, who war chaplain ot one of the Massachusetts regiments during the war. The text was from Deuteronomy, 4: 33. “Did ever people hear the voice ot God speaking out ot the midst of the tire, as thou hast heard, and live?" The general lesson deduced was that the people would control the work of recon struction as they had controlled the war. In the evening the cadets sat down to the an nual dinner provided for them by the State as a compensation tor their arduous duties during the day. The guests included quite a number of officers of the United States Army, among whom was Generals Beuharn, Wilde and Underwood. By the way. the Cadets' dinner was the subject of an interest ing inquiry iu the Legislature oflast year. The tables were bountifully supplied with that article of “creature comforts" prohibited by tltc stern morality of onr laws, and the inquiry was whether the State provided the liquor in defiance of its owu laws. It was made quite a subject for discussion, but after thorough ventilation the subject was allowed to d.'op, on account of some technicality which the radical temperance men could not see through. In the organization of the Legislature there was a sharp contest for Speaker, on local issues, the successful candidate being the representative of teetotalisin, Hoosac Tunnel, and anti-Metropoiitan Railroad. The Speaker, James M. Stone, is classed ns a radical. He was a rival of Gen. Banks for the place of United States Representative iu the last election, but the “Bobbin Boy” was too many guns for him. A returned soldier, C'iipt. Edward J. Jones, who commanded a battery during the war. was elected Sergeunt- al-Arms. jj On the first day of the session Governor Andrew sent in a special message, with ac companying reports, on the state of the mili tia, Stale Constabulary, &c , the whole oc cupying about one hundred pages. On the second day he delivered a valedictory ad dress, in which, instead of reviewing the acts of his administration he entered into a voluminous discussion of reconstruction. 1 will not enter into an abstract, as you will see the whole address. It is not what is called a radical paper hereabouts. Governor Andrew is in favor of admitting all of the while men of the South to their former rights, though he would have certain guar antees, substantially the same as required by President Johnson ot the several States. Negro suffrage he does not insist upon, lie does not doubt the right of Congress to pre scribe that as one of the conditions of resto ration, but looks upon it as a matter of policy. He believes that the idea of busing represen tation on yoters instead of the total popula tion is delusive and ineffective for good. Oa the whole, the Governor stands much neanr President Johnson’s ground than many who used to call him a radical, and many of his old political triends and admirers mourn over his demoralization. On the third day of the session, to-morrow, the Incoming Governor, Hon. Alex- II. Bui lock, of Worcester, delivers his inaugural address and assumes the duties of his office. He has been kept waiting at the door of the Governor’s room two days, while Governor Andrew has been making the most of his la-t hours of office. The idea of a valedictory address was con ceived by Governor Banks, and it gave rise to i o little scandal amoDg his friendly ene mies—that is the men of his party who did not belive in him ; hut as the example has been followed by Governor Andrew, I sup pose it will be continued as a permanent leatuie ol' the programme of change of gov ernment. Governors die hard in the Old Commonwealth, and evidently are deter mined to keep their memories green. The new Legislature is understood to be as radical (or a little more so) as the old. It believes that the earth belongs to the saints, aud that “we are the saints.” Men of liberal ideas iu regard to their own way of living have little to hope from it. The Maine Legislature also assembles this week, but as the Governor of Maine holds over, and the customs of the Old Baystate were not adopted in that State, I find noth - i ng in the way of events of general interest. The Governor believes iu Andy Johnson's plan. j oe Republican State Convention of New Hampshire assembled yesterday. Governor Smyth, of Manchester, whose administrate n during the last year has been able, faithful and popular, was renominated. The resolu tions expressed confidence in President John son in very warm terms. One of those social events for which the capilal of New' Hampshire is famous, oc ean led lastMonday evening, Jan. 1. It was a gland ball, given under the auspices of the Association of New Hampshire Officers in the U. S- Army- It was gotten up on the scale, and took the place of the Governor’s Horse Guard Sail, which have been for sev eral years the most enjoyable affairs—in fact the great social events ol the season. All parts of the State were represented by i s “beauty and chivalry,” and all were so much delighted, that arrangements were made for the annual recurrence of the reunion. Adju tant General Natl, Head is the permanent Chairman of the Committee, and that is a sufficient guaranty that everything will go off in good order. New Year's Day was observed in this city by a partial suspension of business, a parade <>i the Police Department, over two hundred stalwart and fine looking men being in line, salutes in various parts of the city and on the old Revolutionary battle-fields of the ffiate to celebrate Emancipation—the parade of a colored military company, the organiza tion of various city governments, including Boston, Cliarlc3town, Roxbury, Chelsea and Cambridge; good resolutions, and numerous “drinks between drinks.” In the evening the new Continental theatre was opened un der favorable auspices. The theatre is owned by Morris Bros., Pell & Trowbridge. Lou Morris is the Manager. It is one of the cosiest theatres in the city. Iota. Washington. Jan. 2d.—In the Supremo Court of the United States, to-day, Justice Clifford delivered an opinion in a case of ap peal from the District Court of Wisconsin, in which the Milwaukee and Chicago Railroad was respondent. It appears that certain mortgaged premises were several times of fered for sale, but were not sold, and that the appellant claimed concession ou the ground that he was the highest bidder ; but the Supreme Court holds that biddings at auction are mere offers, and that there Is no binding obligation until the consent of both parties is given- In other words, there must be a mutual understanding to a definite agre ment. As the auctioneer may refuse to strike off the property to the highest bidder, so the bid may be withdrawn before the ham ■ mer falls. The court says that justice has 11een done, and that all parties ate satisfied but the appellant, and that the decree of the District Court is affirmed, with costs. A Beactipol Peroration.—Hon. Revtidy Johnson, on December 18tb, concluded his argument in favor of R. H. Garland, before the Supreme Court, as follows: “Will the Court indulge me with a word or two more? Every right minded man who has within his bosom a heart capable of hu man sympathy—who is not dead to all the kinder aud nobler feelings of our nature— who is not the slave of his own dishonor— ol low, degraded passions, of hatred of his countrymen, or political partisanship, solely bent on its wretched triumph—reckless <>l the nation’s welfare, must wish, must make it the subject of his daily thought aud of his prayers to God, that the hour may come, and come at once, when ali the Slates shall be again within the protecting embrace and shelter of the Uuiou, enjoviug alike its benefits—and greater were never vouchsafed to man—contented aud prosperous, sharing iu its duties, aud participating iu its own re' nown; and when the people throughout onr almost boundless domain may be seeu coming together as brothers with one lovoof country and one hope of a common destiny —of safety, welfare and uational glory—with one determination to achieve by united ef forts—in former differences lorgotten, and nothing remembered but their aucieut con cord aud the equal title they have to share in tne glories ol the past, and to labor to gether tor the even greater glories of the lu- iurc. And may I not with the truth assure your Honors that this result will be expedited by the bringing within these temples—the Court of the United States—a class of men who are uow excluded, who by education and character, and profession, are especially qualified by their examples to influence the public sentiment of their respective States, and to bring them, if any doubt yet exists,to the conviction which it is believed tuey un animously entertain, that to defend the Con stitution of the United States and the Gov ernment constituted bv it, in ail rightful au thority, is not only essential to their people’s happiness and freedom, but is a solemn du.y to their country and their God. May it please your Honors, depend upon it, that in that event they will be seen ga thering around the altar of the Union, re solved to support it under every exigency and at all hazards, as one man; and with one voice be heard invoking the biessiugs of heaven for its maintenance and preservation, till ime itself shall be no more.” LINVJLLE A GLEASON.
