The pistrict Convention.

The proceedings of the Convention held at
Saco Tuesday, for the purpose of nominating
candidate tor Congress from the 1st District.
may be found IN our columns this morning.
We have only space to say that it was one of
the most harmonious and enthusiastic Con-
ventions that has been held. There was not
the slightest difference OF opinion among the
22t delegates assembled, and the result was
the denomination of our present worthy Rep
resentative, Hon. John Lynch, by acclama-
tion.
The suggestion Of his denomination in this
manner, dispensing with ballot, came from
the York County delegates, who seemed to
vie with those of Cumberland in their enthu-
siasm for the man and the cause. Tae speech
es Of Messrs. Knowlton of Alfred, and Butler
of Biddeford, were happy upon this point. and
were enthusiastically received by the Conven-
ton.
The Convention was addressed by Judge
Kingsbury and Hon. G. W. Woodman of Port
land, and Col. ]. ]. Speed Of Gorham, in the
morning, and by Messrs. G. Fl. Knowlton of
Alfred, Nathan Webb, H. C. Peabody, and
Charles Holden, Of Portland, and j. E. Butler
of Biddeford, in the afternoon. All OF the
speeches had the true Union Republican ring,
and were highly applAuded. The resolutions
are brief but expressive. The name of Gen.
Chamberlain was greeted with applause, and
the Convention, after giving three hearty cheers
for the Republican nominees for Governor and
Representative to Congress, adjourned, salts
fled that the people, at the polls on the 10th
OF September, will rati.y these nominations by
overwhelming majorities.

Supreme judicial Court. Androscosgin o.
THE CITY OF BATH IN EQUITY vs.. erLBERr
MILLER G AIS.

The Law Court now sitting at Augusta has
ordered this "Bil to be dismissed with costs
for the Defendants" The defendants, Miller
and Tuck, are deputy sheriff, in Franklin and
Androscoggin counties, and, as such, attached
large quantities of wood In those counties, as
the property of the Androscogein X. R. Co.
The other defendants are the attaching cred
isors. The city Of Bath brought replevin
wrlts, and caused the wood to be replev;ed In
each of these counties. In those replevin
suits the city of Bath was defeated. Judg-
ment was rendered, in each case, that the
wood should be returned to the attaching OFF,
GERS. Suits are now pending in those coun
ties on said replevin bonds. The amo, 1 {
Claimed Is nearly $4,000. The Bill in Equity
was sued cut to obtain an Injunction against
the attaching creditors and officers, to pre-
veat them from enforcing their Judgment
a ,ainst said citv. The court refuses the H.
junction. So there is nothing to prevent the
defendants from obtaining jdd sments on the
replevin bonds. The ease was an interesting
one, both on account Of the amount in dis
pute and the interesting questions OF law
iivolved. 20 ta
