! The exhibition on this occasion has been
splendid, and indicates that Mcrimack County
can show as good butter as hear: can wish.
There were 50 mahy good specimens as to lead
the committee to wish for more premiums to
dispose of, and caused some difficulty IN dispos-
ing Of those we had.
THE Dom CAsE.-lt has been currently re-
ported, the last two or three days, that the
decision of the Supreme Court of the United
States on the Rhode Island case was ready for
delivery, and that it is, OF course, adverse 10
Dorrism. We did intend not TO notice the
the matter until We had something authentic
to 90 upon but letter in the Boston Atlas
Induces us to change that purpose. The
writer 5 revelations on the subject are curious,
and we presume that he would not publish
them without sufficient assurance Of their
truth -
The Judges ofthc Supreme Court have had
the great Dorr case under consideration, and !
believe may as well state TO you that the
Court well sustain the law and order party.
What will make ihc blow felt more heavily Is
the fact that the Chief Justice himself the
Jackson. will draw up the death warrant of the
criminal monster which was tostcrcd into lis
Ihidcous dimensions By the whole Locoioco
party
Il There are nine Judges on the bench, wher
4 Inll.-Eight are now present, Judge Mckinley
of Kentucky, being absent. OF the elglt
present, all are Loco FOcos, with the exception
Iof Judge Mclean Of Ohio Yet Dorrism
must die in the house offs friends Mr.. llallett
was chief mourncr and eulogst Daniel Web
ser delivered the funeral sermon, and Chief
Justice Tancy Will read the burial service over
the dead.
! And here let me recall the past for few
moments. Last session twas expected that this
case would be brought on. have been crcdl-
Iby informed that cabinet meeting was held,
Ior at least a meeting at which most of the cabi-
met wcr, present, with the leading friends Of
Dorr. to determine on what should be done
with this very DOrr case. il was agreed on
all hands that an adverse decision would BE- a
severe blow against the "Dcmocralc' party,
which mnst be- prevented at all hazards. /
have been informed also that the ice President,
the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the
Treasury and the Attorney General were very
anxious that Dorrism should be endorsed IN the
Supreme Courl of the lntcd states
So anxious were they for THIS that Mr.
Walker promised to leave his duties IN the
Treasury Department TO dcmagoguc for Dorr.I
with The Attorney General. IN the Supreme
Court, Even the bench of the Supreme Couri
was canNasscd. and noses counted for and
aOainst Dorr The result of that canvass was
as 'ollrws Mcssrs Woodbury., Grer and
Catron were certain for Dorrsn. Mcssrs.

Chief Justice CTancy.) was said To be rather
opposed. but still considered doubtful. Judge
Daniel was also put down as doubtful, and Nc.
kiuley was absent as he Is now. Nelson oi
New York, being a conservative, was looked
upon with suspicion, and was therefore put
down also rs doubtful.
Thus of the eight Judges present there were
three certain for Durrlsnl-two against 1t ana
three doubtful just thrnit was expected that
In p,OgrcSsirc Democrat (Buchanan) would
certainly be- appointed TO the bench, and
mich, be. made Chief Justice. 1hcnlt was
expected that Judge Mckinley would >not IN
,i,i on living 80 long. or would AT least resign
ON account of III health. j was also cNpec-
ted that "A new Judge would come IN from a new
Western Judpcdom. All these, OF course, to.

country. Though this scheme has been defeated,
and the case has already been heard, | have
on doubt thai the conspiracy once existed, aud
that even now they would fan put oliihe dccls-
