DEATH OF THE MAINE Law AT TREN-
ToN.-A FGNININE DENOMINATION IN THE
SaYATE! We have already recorded the
melancholy death of the Maine Liquor Law,
over in New Jersey, on Friday last. A
correspondent of the Newark Advertiser
shows how it was done. A motion in the
Senate to reconsider the vote upon the Pro-
hibitory Liquor bill was lost-one cause of
this is said to have been the dsgraceful
conduct Of some females who were in the
gallery, the day before, when the bill was
defeated
Al the announcement of the vote they
disfgurei their pretty lips by Kissing. Sub
sequently, one of them in the gallery, exhib
tied her Indignation in a manner not very
admirable, by folding upa copy of the Ii
quor bill and launching it at the head Of
Mr. Allen, who was prominent in opposing
the bill.
After the adjournment of the Senate
still greater violation OF lady like behaviour
was perpetrated. Mr.. Bonnel, Of SUSSEX,
was requested to step to the bar and be in
tr9duccd to some ladies'. On complying
with this request, an intoxicated old woman
was showed for ward, and one OF the ladies'
said to Mr.. b., "you have insisted to defeat
this bill, now smell of this womans breath
and see wba, will be the result of your
action - Mr. Bonn.ll replied in manner
which made the self-styled ladies blush for
their conduct.
The bill is defeated for the year without
hope of resusitiation.

The CoURr OF CLAlMs.-We are hear
tily glad to be able to announce the passage
Of this bill by the House Of Representatives.
Ii needs now only the signtu re Of the
President to become law, and notwi,h.
standing the Chief Magistrates penchant for
exercising the veto power, We presume he
will not exert that prcrogalive in the pres
ent case, as the bill gives him an opporu-
nifty Of exercisingl some considerable and
important patronage. We regard this
MEASURE as one Of the n.ost important, if not
indeed the most important, that has been
passed by the present Congress, either at
this or the former sessions. The National
lntelligencer justly remarks that it will
save probably one-iourlh Of the time of
Congress, now spent in the examination
and discussion Of claims; besides which it
will "not only secur an early hearing and
prompt settlement of just claims, but will
get rid of the intcrminable renewal Of un-
founded ones, and thus save the time of
Congress from being wasted year after
year in the examination of rejected claims. >
The intolligencer thus defines the provi-
sons OF the bill -
The bill gives jurisdiction to the Court
o hear and determine all claims founded
upon any law of Congress, or upon any
regulation Of an Executive Department, or
upon any contract express or implied, with
the Government of the United States, and
ali claims referred by either house of Con.
gress. The testimony in all cases is TO be
reported to Congress, and all upon which
favorable decisions are given are to be ac-
companied with bill or bills to carry them
into effect, and with briefs from the solici-
tor of the Board and from the claimant.
1t will be thus seen that the Court is to
perform the work now la oriously but i'm.
perfectly done by. committees, and Con-
gress is to revise the whole and act upon
tn, subjects presented, as at present. On
many subjects an opinion, well matured by
the Court, will serve as basis for action in
all similar cases and there will not per-
haps be so many Inconsistencies in legis-
la,ion as at present, when the success or
failure ofa measure depends, in a great
degree, upon the mood in which one house
or the other may happen to be found when
the vote is taken. At all events, there is
the probability ofa more mature investiga-
ton than by the present mode, and it is to
be hoped we shall hear but little more of
what il deemed worse than the "law's de-
lay" the tendency of claims before Con-
gress of half century's duration.

Mr.. EDWARD c. DELAvAN ON THE LIQUOR CUES
rIoN.--At preliminary meeting Of the New

say that -

that have belief that the Prohbory law viii ever be

shall be cast exclusively for candidates who

He is probably right and if so, we rather
suspect that the solution of the question OF
practical prohibition will have to be turned
over to the next generation. The meeting,
meantime, resolved to sock to total abstinence
candidates for the public offices, which will
probably make hole in the calculations OF
the Seward, Weed and Greeley free and easy
temperance platform.
