The LIoUos LAW IN CONNECTICUT THE ques-
ton of enacting 'Maine law'' is before the Lee
gislature of Connecticut. A majority of the COM
mittee to which the subject was referred have
taken ground against the measure in a report con-
GLIDING follows:
GA law similar to that of the State of Maine is
inconsistent with all the general principles that
protect persona, property, possession and domici;
is inconsistent with the progress of liberty and
free institutions in our republican nation is at
best of doubtful constitutonality or expectancy :;
is subject to extensive abuse for the qualification
of private malice, the fanatical notions of coer-
Give moral reformers; is not enjoined by any con
stitutonal obligations to make such statute; and
cannot obtain the general acquiescence or support
of the community in its enforcement; that there
fore is calculated to unsetle the rights of pro-
perty, the observance and respect for wholesome
and just laws, and TO bring into discredit the con-
stituuon, the laws, and the judicial tribunals
without offering any practical and certain bene-
hts which are not better secured by laws made in
accordance with those settled convictions of fun-
damentsl rights which have so long made the cit
iEens Of this eminent and venerable Common ealth

In accordance with these views, the majority
have submitted a resolution declaring that no le-
gisation is called for on the subject, while the
minority have presented Maine law bill.

YOU'VE AMERICA A LITERARY LIoS.-Putnam,
ut the close of the first volume of his magazine
states that he has received during the six months
of its publication four hundred and Ell ght nine orr gi-
nal articles for publication, the greater portion
from writers who were previously unknown to
him. All this mass of Ms. was carefully read
and large number of the celebrated articles
which appeared in the magazine, and which have
been attributed to the most eminent authors of the
age, produced by obscure writer's. The sys
tenn adopted by Putnam of refusing to publish the
names of authors with their articles works 50 Welt
that il will be continued. Each article has to stand
on its own merits, which fact gives young men a
fair Geld before the public.
Mr.. Putnam states that although the names of
many men of lofty reputation were given as con
tributors and sustainers of his enterprise he re-
he'd from the first upon Young America, whose
name did not appear on the cover This is quite
complimentary to the said youthful gentleman,
whose disposition has been generally supposed to
incline to belligerent deeds rather than bellies
letters. May be always deserve the latteripg con-
fidence rep0sed in him, and add to his literary
reputation until it fills the earth.
