TIE CONsTlrrTIoNALITy OF THE NAME
LAw.-Wc are informed. SAYS the Dover Re
porter, that the conStitutionaitv Of the Maine
Law III this State will be cont estcd at the en-
suing term of the Superior Court, which will
set next month. The point to be decided if
we have rightly understood the matter, is the
legislative right to suppress the license sys-
ten for the sale of spilitnous liquors by the
proprictors Of hotels Several of these in
Sussex county have continued to sell since
the expiration of their licenses, at the April
term last spring. They have retained cmi-
nent counsel. and are prepared to test the
constltutionality Of the law which dcprivcs
them of this privilege should it be attempted.
In that county, and in some parts Of Kent
also. larger quantities Of brandy have been
manufactured this season than had been for
many years or, it is said ever before in one
year.

TROUBLE IN TIE WIGwAN.-T has
been immense trouble in the Pierce camp here
tins week. 1t turned out that in nominating
Col j. }. llcckart for the Senate, they nomi-
mated Know Nothing. and the consequence
has been great deal of CONSERVATION and dis
may. which has not been at all Icsscned Nv
sundrv vague reports that there are others of
the same sort on the ticket.
On Sunday night last they held secret
meeting (nark you on Sunday night)-at
which the Col. was present and was forced to
back oil. They have been cursing him prct-
ty soundly, but how is he to blame if they
nominated him without his seeking it and
when he was absent from the county.
On yesterday their county convention
which had adjonrncd sine die, and was dead
to all intcnts and purposes met again to make
nomination and is holding troubled scs-
sion while we write this paragraph. What
ever they may do, will be without authority
from the voters of the eounty-,the convcn-
ton sent up b. them ceased to exist. and the
sction of its second assembling does not en-
anatc from them.
p. S. Mr.. Griffith NJ. Eldridge was selected
to fill the place of Mr.. IIeckart. John w.
Morgan was withdra WI, and Milton Y. Kidd
nominated for the House of Delegates.
