ny moderation and liberality, the presen,
STORM may be averted without any evil con.
sequences. The law of the United Sta. IS
passed in April 1890, has already provided "A
punishment for those who resist the process of
Mr. omith. This law is in these words:
-, Many person or persons shall knowingly and
WiIuiy obstr,ict, resist or oppose any officer OF
''e y. States, M serving or attempting 10 serve
UT execute any mesne process or warrant, or any
RUE or order of any of the courts of the Unite:l

sphere OF the powers and the manner of the
organization of this tribunal.
Let all questions be referred to it, which
Involve the clashing of jurisdiction between
the state and general governments F.; be-

the constitution. The last power has been
assumed by the Courts, without any adequate
reason.
Let this tribunal meet periodically, like
the college of CenSors in Vermont; let it be
formed OF members appointed by the state
legislatures /; let its decisions be peremptory.
But should this scheme be thought imprac-

the federal court be paramount-for in
what other way can collision be prevented
or the United States be. firm in its authority ;
But IN order to secure the soyereientv of
the states against IT'S judgments let the inde-

1t ought TO do, on a majority of voices!

STATE GOVERNMENT.

On Wednesday the annual renova-
ton of the Government of this State
commenced. The Legislative Branch-
cs assembled at the State House. In
the Senate, the Hon. HARRISON
GRAY OTIS, was reelected presi-
dent, and Mr. Coffin, Clerk. The fed
cral republican majority is three. Mr..
Pohe, of Bristol, iederalist, is pre-
vented by sickness from attending. In
the House Of Representatives, the Hon.
TIMOTHY BlGELOW, was re-elec-
ted Speaker, and Mr.. TYMrghas.,
Clerk. The federal republican major
i,y for Speaker was 50 for Clerk, AZ.
After being thus organized, the Lcgis-
lature was joined by the Executive
Branch, and moved in procession, es-
corted by the INDEPENDENT Cadets, TO the
meeting house of the Rev. MIR. Emrs-
son, where the Election Sermon WIS
preached by the Rev. Di. osgOod. AT
the termination Of the religious exer-
cises, the procession returned TO the
State House T; and joint committee
was chosen by the Court to count the
votes for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor.
In the Senate, yesterday forenoon,
the usual vote of thanks was passed 20
the Rev. Gentleman who delivered the
Election Sermon, and committee APP
pointed to reques. copy for the press.
The vote of thanks was opposed, and
the yeas and nays called for-the yeas
were 90, nays is. Mr.. Cushmon, Of
Kennebeo, voted with the yeas.
: In the afternoon, the committee on
senatorial returns made report. Some
returns were illegal according TO the
democratic law, which if rejected,
would have changed the members from
Lincoln but as the federalists quest.
Toned the constitutionality OF that law,
the returns were accepted, notwiih-
standing they were in favour Of demo-
cratic candidates.
In the House, yesterday, several re-
monstrances against Representative
Returns were presented-one from
some Inhabitants Of Boston. They
were committed.
