AN INTERESTING CAsE.-The Ken
nebec Journal says that among the cases
to be argued a. the present law term oi
the Supreme Court in Augusta is that Of
Burton vs. the County. Mr.. Burton
sues the County for his salary for the
yesr that the office Of Register of Pro-
bate YES held by Francis Davis as ap-
pointee of Gov. Wells. His claim rests
on the ground that his removal by the
Governor was contrary to the Constltu-
ton Of the State. which. by an amend
ment adopted in 1858, had been changed
30 IS to deprive the Governor of the re-
snoring power. 1t is not altogether Ger.
tain the issue as joined will legitimately
involve that question. though we trust it
does. IS nothing would give more salts :
satisfaction to the public than 70 have
that matter decided by the Court.
