PORTLAND. TUESDAY. FEBRUARY !, 1913

The last week was one of considerable bust
ness with the legislature some important sub
Jects were originated and others disposed OF.
The seat of government question received its
quietus for this session at least: the dstricting
bill finally passed in the house, but has been
committed in the senate for alteration. bill
absiisaing the Office of Reporter and dividing his
salary among the judges Of the Supreme Court,
j. now before the senate and this day assigned
for the discussion of it; and bill is before the
house AMI assigned for third reading today TO
abolish the Court of Common Pleas. Several
bills arc also before the legislature providing for
grants of money, one in favour of Gardiner Ly-
oeun, II enable that Institution To purchase
mathematical and philoso9hic instruments this
bill was rejected in the house, but notice was
given that motion would be made to reconsider
that vote: another making a grant to Bowdoin
and Watervllie colleges. An attempt is making
to raise the salaries of the Treasurer, Secretary
of State aud Adjutant General. The petitions
Far banks which have been numerous, will prob
ably not receive any encouragement this session.
The project for a new county is still pending
What will be the result we cannot saw: Ii is
thought however, it viii not prevail at this ses-
sion. We understand the towns in this county
whick are proposed to be set of, are decidedly
Opposed to the measure We are at loss 10 find
any authority 10 Justify the legislature in ma
king the separation against their viii. Those
towns have been at much expense in erecting
county buildings in Cumberland, and if now
they are joined 10 new county, the legislature
take their property without their consent. com
polling them to contribute to the new buildings
which must be erected.
The bill aboiisling the Common Pleas pro-
vides that an additional Judge shall be appointed
on the Supreme Court, aud that this court shall
be held in each county as often as the Common
Pleas is now held.
1t is uncertain whether the Legislature will be
able TO rise this week. it seems probable now. that
the interesting subjects which have not been
finally acted upon and which must be disposed
OF, will carry them into next week. we are
TO have the Districting bill over again, and the
Gardiner Lyceum; then the new subjects rela-
ting to grants of money, and to the courts, be-
sides other subjects which have passed stages,
but not received final decision: the discussion
of these matters must occupy more than this
week

NOMINATIONS.

Hcary Clay has been nominated a candidate

tho states Of Kentucky, Ohio Missouri & illinois |;
1t is said that Indiana will make the same noun

COMMUNICATION.

1t seems probable that the combination Of
few men IN Maine, heretofore OF some influence,
IN support of Mr.. Craslord, has utterly failed.
" The voice of Maine" is clear and decisive. All
the Crawford papers, which have been sent to
members OF the Legislature, during the present
session. appear TO have produced an effect direct
ly contrary TO that intended. member of
Congress, near the mouth Of the Kenncbec, has
probably lost his .abors in sending these papers,
as well as in private letters. 1t is, however,
necessary that the people should lock well TO the
approaching election OF members Of Congress, as
well as to the Electors for the two first officers of
the Government. Those who are disposed to
aid the election Of Mr.. Adams will keep a single
eye to that object, and minor considerations will
be 0isregarded.
