PORTLAND, TUESDAY, MAY 30, 1890.
ELECTION.

Tomorrow is the day appointed by the con-
s,IiulioD Tor the convention OF the first Legisla-
iure of Maine. After the term for which the pre-
sent members are chosen shall.e xpire, the gen.
cral election will be held on the first Wednes-
day in January annually commencing in l622.
The duties assigned for the first day OF the ap.
preaching session are numerous and important
each branch OF the Legislature is TO organize
itself: the Senate are TO determine who are
elected by majority OF votes TO be Senators
in each district and 10 Gil all vacancies in their
board: the Legislature are TO examine the
votes returned for Governor and de,are and
publish the same and seven Connsellors are
10 be chosen, by The JOINT ballo, OF both bouses
The constitution has omitted to provide for the
performance OF these duties on this occasion at
an adjourned day. Tomorrow must therefore
necessarily be day OF labor to those who are
to perform lis duties, as well as OF deep inter.
es' to the community. An escort OF cavalry
vii, bring The Governor elect from North Var
mouth TO The town line, where he will be met
by corps OF infantry and riaenen from this
town. who will escort him TO the Senate house
and perform the parade duties of the day.
The artillery will perform salutes on the arri.
Val OF the Governor. A number of members
OF the Legislature have already assembled and
many Strangers have arrived TO par,ake in the
interesting events OF the OCCASION. We trust
the same spirit of harmony and The same de-
sire to promote the common veal which pre-
vailed in the convention, will characterize the
coming session; that mutual concessions will
he made of tie interests, The iealousies and
the prejudices of The few, to the good of the
whole. Then indeed will the friends of the
separation have cause TO exult in the success of
the inexperimen and of their predictions, and
It's opposers 10 rejoice that their fears have no
support in The current of events.
GJ7We are requested 10 mention that the
Discourse TO be pronounced by The Rev. Mr..
PAYsoN, before the Peace Society of NJ aine,
viii be postponed until Thursday evening next,

FOREIGN SUInNLaRY.

The last arrivals from Spain left all quiet in
that kingdom the troops who committed the
massacre at Cadiz had been disarined and sent
to st. Us. Gen. Quiroga. the leader Of the
revolutionary army, had determined to keep his
troops under arms until the Cortss should assem-
BILE. The grand South American expedition was
entirely suspended, and business of a commercial
nature was al a stand.
In Ireland the disturbances among the ribbon.
men had almost entirely ceased. The Radical
spirit still continued fermenting in England and
Scotland to an alarming degree. On the 18th OF
April .4ribur 1hials~ood, The leader of the con-
spirators for the assassination Of the Kings min
listers, had been found guilty Of High Treason.
The testimony against him and his associates was
direct from their accomplices of a design TO ex-
terminate on certain day, the whole Cabinet At
one blow. The plot was betrayed by an accom-.
plce, who wrote to Earl IIsrrowby, giving inior.
nation of the plan and of the time fixed for il.
execution. Much interest was taken in the trial
which continued three days, and was attended
by number Of distinguished spectators.
The accounts concerning the Queen Of Eng
land are contradictory. some assert that she
would be in England at the opening of the new
Parliament, and others that she had been induced
to remain abroad in consequence of some over
lures from government. Which OF these reports
is true, time will soon determine. The Queen
IS woman OF so much eccentricity, that il is
difficult TO find sufficient stability on which TO rest
conclusion: but we cannot for a moment sun
pose that she would give such an air Of probakll-
ity to the reports which have been circulat ed
against her, as she would do by relnquishing her
vested rights aud ahsenting herself from her
country.
The U. S. District Court for this Di,tric,
will commence us nsyt session at Portland. on
the 9th day Of June next; and il is understood
will continue IN session during that week,
when an adjournment will take place in order
that those Revolutionary Pensioners who IN.
tend making their schedule in said Court
(required by the late Act of Congress- and
who may be unable TO attend said term, NAV
have an opportunity oiso doing.
Pensioners under the late law of the United
States ought to be apprised that they must APP
pear personally " before Court of Record, in
order to eniitle themselves TO further pensions.

cord for that purpose. In Blacklist ones Common

Benjamin Cushing, Esq. on Beuchamp Neck in
Camden, on the Gath day Of May instant, was
twenty-five inches high. This unusually early
growth was occas;oned by the making or curing
Of fish in that field. There were large quantities
of fish from the Straits of Bellisle cured on il
last autumn. The grass will probably he ripe
