Society, deemed essential to the county
branch particularly. get, such is the plan'
and such are the principles OF the institu-
ton, that The adoption of those mendmenls
will inevilai ly affect the interest OF the town
branch also !.
II may not be improper here to. remark,
that the stated general meetings OF the So
ciety happening annually, during The ses
sion of the General Assembly, those mem
bers of the Society who have heretofore
found il announcement to attend in person,
have generally Hailed to appoint proxies,
knowing as they did that at such general
meetings, they might be lawfully rePresen-
ted by the senators or delegates OF their re-
spective districts, cities, boroughs, or coun
ties; but absent members or subscribers can
not be so represented at the general meet.
ing to be held in the next month-pe cause
senators or delegates are authorised by lhe
act oil assembly (passed the twenty third Va
nuary, 1907 to represent absent members
of the Society then. and then only, "When-
soever any general meeting OF the sa'd go.
ciety shall be holden during the session OF
general assembly," 1t will therefore, De
indispensably necessary, that all members
of the Society, (whetber of the town or
country brsnch) who may fnd it inconven'-
ent or be unable to attend in person, should
appoint proxies according 10 the preceding
form of power of attorney, to represent
them at the approaching general meeting. !,
will only add, that il is with unieIgned
pleasure, that announce it to the members
of the country branch, as the opinion OF the
committee, that such alterations and amend
ments may be made of the rules and reguls-
tons OF the Society, as will unquestionably
ensure to that branch the highest prosPerI!'
ty; and finally the complete success comb
IDENTIFY anticipated by its friends, when in
the year 1905 they resolved on separation
from the towns.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

Mr. Nelson, from the committee OF TO-

mates bill providing for the adjudication Of
claims under the Spanish treaty, reported
the same without amendment; and it was
referred 10 the committee OF the whole, TO

The house then proceeded to the consi-

the Attorney General and Mr.. Jones Tor the
defendant,) in which the judgment Of the
court below was affirmed and this court de-
cided that the warrant issued by the spea-
ker of the House OF Representatives was
lawful authority. which justified The deten-
dant in arresting and imprisoning the plain
tiff.
The case OF Cohens VS.. the State Of Vir-
ginia was argued by Mr.. Ogden and the At
torney General for the plaintiff, and by Mr..
Webster for the defendant in error. The
counsel, on both sides, argued the general
question rather than the particular case ;
the parties on the record declining to argue
the cause upon the merits. 1t appearing
however. to affect various other cases, alrea-
dy arisen or about to occur, in the different
states of the Union, the court deemed il
necessary to hear an argument before ii
pronounced its judgmen. on the merits.
The argument Of The case OF Nc Cluhy
VS.. Silliman was continued by MIR. Harper
for lhex11hintif in error.
