PORTLAND FRIDAY. FEBRUARY /, 1922.

An orderShas passed both houses of Legisa-
tire, 70 instruct the committee, who have under
consideration the place at which the next Legis-
latnre shall assemble 10 enquire into the expedi-
eDcy Of raising 4 committee TO visit different
parts of the State, TO ascertain the most central
and best situation, for permanent seat OF gov
eminent The centre Of territory, as appears
by Greeneaf's Map is somewhere near the mid
die OF Lake .N'dhYndkdnld one of the heads Of the
Penobscot, place SO remote that the step Of
civilization has never reached il, nor has the
woodlands axe ever reverberated In It's forests.
We hope the committee will not therefore be so
romantic as to report favourably to that sCte for
the capitol of our fourishiag young republic.
The centre of the seaboard is somewhere near
PinaLlduen, we think the Legislature will
have no idea of Insulating themselves upon that
islet. We find by calculation of the number
of Polls on the eastern and on the western side
OF the kennebec riyer-at which name the seat
Of government is always brought TO mind-that
the whole number ofPolls, on the eastern side of
that river, were by the last returns, Jan. Z 1891
24004, aud Oh the iccsteyTs side, they were ST.
500, making 30 per cent or one fifth more Polls
the western side of that assumed line, than
on the other. We do not think it worth while
"a publish the detail of the calculation at pres
ent, but shall hereafter if il shall be thought of
consequence. NOW III neither centre OF terri
tory, centre ofsca coast shall determine the
question, perhaps it may be thought of some con-
sequence TO fix the seat Of government near the
centre of the Polls-the substantial, tax-paying-
part of the population, which will be some con-
siderable way west of that part the river Ken
nebec, which glides along at the base of the Hal
lowell and Augusta bills. We hope, however,
that wherever the Legislature may IN their wis
dom determine TO meet, they will establish il at
least for three or four years, that the subject
may not be agitated, at much expencc, every
session.
The extreme sensitiveness, with which the
managers of the Argus regard the Portland Ga
zettc, exposing them to continual ebullitions O.
irritation and passion, is quite farcical. The
effort which that paper makes to propagate the
falsehood that a connexion or alliance subsist
between ourselves and the Statesman, origin
ates unquesiionably in motives Of policy, and no
an their conviction of the truth of the assertion
They wish TO produce jealousy among federal
ists--thcy hope TO divide theus by attempting t.
identify them with distinct Harty and thus frs
ALLEVIATE the minds Of some, Tho pursue an indie
pendent Course, or who, on certain measures, in
cline to Che administration party, and then sc
cure them by cenciliatory promises or by partia
tokens Of favour. This is certainly polite il
these modern Machieyelians; but whether il j
Just, or consistent with the principles Of common
honesty, totally 10 disregard the means, by which
they may secure their power ant place, W.

Law CASE.

An action of trespass of rather curious ma
turc, was lately tried ia Fairfield County, Conn.
Two mea were accused of breaking into, and
carrying OF the goods of the plaintiff, and it was
proved that one of the defendants entered the
house by the chimney, aud then broke open the
windows and doors. The defendants justified IN
der writ Of attachment and contended that the
Discerning into the house by the chimney was
lawful for the service of civil process and ifnot,
being once in the house, though by an unlawful
entrance, vet the taking of the goods was not a
,respass, for which damages might be recovered.
But il was decided that an entrance by the CHM
ney TO serve civil process was unlawful, and that
all service done in consequence of such unlawful
entry, was void--Ndt. .4dr.

4 gang of robbers broke into a store in Wood
bury, on sunday night last. Among the variety
Of articles contained in the store, was bottle in
which there was a small quantity of antimonial
wine. One Of the robbers, snpposing it TO be
the real Juice OF the grape, drank IT,. II opera
ted 50 powerfully, that the robbers were under
the necessity of taking care Of their companion
instead of the goods IL seems, however, that
they learnt nut little wit from their misfortune,
a three Of them have been apprehended in con-
sequence Of their joking the patient about his
dosa.-One of them has an uncommonly long
foot being upwards of thirteen inches.
