LEGISLATURE OF MAINE.

ESPECIAL DISPATCH To THE DAILY PREssJ
STATE HOUSE, AUGUSTA, Feb. 1.
SENATE.
Papers from the House were referred in con-
currence.
Petition of Franklin Simmonds of West
brook for an act authorizing the Supreme Ju-
dicial Court to decree a divorce from his wife
petition of Mark L. Wentworth and others for
an act of incorporation as the Kittery Marine
Railway were severally referred.
Petition of Josiah H. Drummond for the in
crease of salary of the County Attorney Of
Cumberland county was referred to the coun-
ty delegation.
Inc Senate proceeded to the consideration of
an act to increase the salary of the Governor,
specially assigned for to-day. The question
was on motion of Mr.. Green, of Oxford, to re-
cede and concur with the House. On motion
OF Mr. Caldwell the bill was laid on the table
and Wednesday next assigned.
HOUSE.
Papers from the Senate ere properly refer
red in concurrence.
The matter of capital punishment was re-
ferred to a select committee of one from each
\ count.
Z An act "to bring fresh water into Portland"
was taken from the table, and on motion of
Mr.. Phinney ordered to be printed
The following acts finally passed: To incor-
porate the "Ne Plus Ultra Collar Company"
to provide for recording the description of
burying grounds and of deeds of lots therein,
by town clerks. sa
The act "to remove the disability to marry
between persons of different race" was called
up by Mr. Cushing of Frankfort, and made
the special matter of discussion.
On motion to indefinitely postpone the mat
ter, Mr.. Stevens, of Augusta, said, he wished
to. defne his position. Although he might be
in minority, he reioiced to record his vote to
wipe forever from the statutes of this State
every vestige of caste. 1t is an outgrowth of
that prejudice which made the war; a low
and degrading prejudice, which has kept
alive the Democratic party. Where in the
laws of nations, or of God can you find a
basis for this law, or one particle of evidence
of this relic of barbarism? In order that we
may show clear record to the South he want
ed to make our altar Free The time is coming
when caste will not be recognized by political
or religious speakers. 1t is base, unthinking
prejudice, a stock of trade for the copperhead
party. y. ssca.I setls1
After Mr. Stevens finished his remarks there
was a general cry of question, question"
which was taken by yeas and nays. After
some DELAY in consequence of not understand
ing the motion and changing votes, which Gre
ated additional interest," the vote was declared,
SO yeas, 50 nays. A motion was made to re-
consider, and that next Wednesday be assign
ed for further consideration which, after dis
cussion was carried-5S yeas, 40 nays.
