DEATH OF PROF. SAIYTH.-From the Bruins
wick Telegraph we take the following account
of the circumstances attending Professor
Smyths death:
On Saturday morning, the deceased remark
ed to his son that he felt better than for some
time, and he discharged extra labor, in look
ing over his papers relating to the Memorial
Hall. On the previous evening, may re
mark, that he was present to listen to the
reading oil Prof. Bailey, and called upon him
after the reading, making arrangements to
show him his plans of the Memorial Hall and
the college grounds, on Saturday morning
This arrangement he carried out, having left
his house at his usual hour.
About noon he was conversiDg with some
genaemen upon matters relating to the build
ing, on the grounds laid out tor its iounda-
tions. Looking i'll, one OF the party advised
him to go home, and he did so. reaching it not
without some difficulty. He was assisted into
his sitting room, and reclined upon the Sofa
He declined dinner, and simply drank little
tea handed to him.
After long time his son assisted him ND
stairs. and he went to bed, observing that he
felt better, and rest would doubtless relieve
him; his son left him for few moments as
did his sister, she however being in an adioin-
ing room. After brief interval, the Profess
or was heard to breathe heavily as if asleep;
but in moment er two the breathing
changed, and at once his son and sister went in
to the room only TO find HIM with his head re-
Ginning on the side OF the bed and his eyes
fixed; he gasped two or three times after they
reached him, breathing his last about IL T.
NJ, fifteen or twenty minutes after he had re-
tired.
He died without doubt from heart disease.
1t appears that he had told his son, at present
at home, of the premonitory symptoms of this
disease which he had noticed, and warned him
that he might go suddenly. But no one else
here, at least so far as we are informed, had
the faintest suspicion that he was affected with
heart COMPLAINT.

The Augusta Standard propounds the folio
ing conundrum:

The Augusta Standard propounds the follow
ing conundrum:
The Constitution either confers the power
OF removal from office upon the President OF
1t does not. If it does give him that power
ihen no law OF Congress can deprive him Of
It,; If it does not then every removal from
office by former Presidents was unconstitu.
tIonal. What say, were the removals of
democrats from office throughout the country,
void?
The constitution do es not confer the power
OF removal upon the President, but it by no
means follows that the exercise of that power
has been unconstitutional" 1t was granted
to the Executive in 1889 by the First Congress
The grant has been abused, and the Thirty
Ninth Congress applied the remedy which
Judge Story long ago pointed out, 'by the
simple expedieut of requiring the consent Of
the Senate to removals."

In TRouHLH.-Our champion oarsman, Wal.
ter Brown, seems to have got into some little
trouble. In consequence of a supposed at
tempt of Allyne, the wizard, to defraud him Of
a sum of money be had advanced as part
nership in the show business, but which AL
lyme refused to refund upon Browns express
ing wish to withdraw from the concern, the
latter went to Ipswich Wednesday evening,
where Allyne was performing, went into the
hall after the performances had commenced,
proceeded directly to the platform, and gave
the wizard vigorous pummeling. The audi
ence interfered and rescued the wizard. Brown
was subsequently taken before Trial Justice
and it cost him 800 The Text morning he
met the wizard on the cars for Boston, when
he pitched into him again and then left the
train. Allyne got out second warrant for
his arrest and went with some officers to Bos-
ton, whittier it was supposed Brown had gone,
but at last accounts he had not been found

THE AMENDED LIQUOR LAw.-Some doubt
has already arisen respecting the construc-
ton Of chapt. 224 of the public laws of the
last legislature. We copy the following pas
sages from a communication which appears
in the last number of the Riverside Echo
over the signature OF Judge Davis of this city:
The Act Of March Z, 1868, seems to admit of
only one construction. The lule of law is
well known 10 be that the intention is to be
determined from the acords of the statute, and
not from other sources.
Let it be remt mbered that the law of 1867
required both fine" and imprisonment" The
Act of March z, 1868, has no repeating clause
therefore that of 1867 is still IN JORGE, except SO
far as that of 1868 is Inconsistent aoih it. And
that of 1868 simply provides that 1.-THE punish
ment of imprisonment instead OF being add
tional to the fine, may be imposed instead of
said fine, in the discretion of the court"
1t is perfectly clear, as it seems to me, that
the cha nge leaves it @iscretionary,-not to inn
pose the fine instead of the Imprisonment
but 1.-The imprisonment instead of said fine"
So it reads; and it can mean nothing else.
1t is frequently the case that statutes tail to
accomplish the intended purpose, by reason OF
the mistakes of those who frame them. Scores
of such cases could tie cited. This is but an
other instance 1t is not the usiness nf courts
to correct such mistakes. They must take a
statue as it is. This statute will come, in the
first instance, before magistrates, and
subordinate courts. The least that they
question up to the Supreme Court, and thus
have it decided. And as there is already a
reaction ia the public mind from the anti-pro-
hibition tendencies OF last year, in 1869 the con-
struction here given will please no one more
than it win many of those who enacted it.

The Congregational Nom inatIon.

The following communication, dated at Par
sonsfeld, April 6, appears in the last number
of the Saco Courier:
1t will very soon become the duty of the
Republicans of the First Republican District
to select candidate to be supported as sue
cessor to our present representative in Con-
gress. Why need there be, Mr. Editor any
perplexity as to the proper candidate? have
never heard the least fault found with the en-
tire fou years course of Mr.. Lynch, while it
has been often aud truly said that if this Dis
trict ever had an ADLER representative, it GER
family never had better one than the present
incumbent.
I have heard it said that the nomination
now belongs to this part of the district Then
let US secure the nomination from this county,
since we have able and good men, qualified
and deserving. But has this county a claim to
the nomination at this time? None, unless
two terms are the established usage in this
district l think Mr.. Wood was elected for
three terms, but am not positive; but it is well
known that when be retired he positively re-
fused to be candidate, on the g ound Of the
injury to his private business which his alb
sence occasioned. Mr.. Somes, from this coun-
ty, succeeded him. He served for one term,
and was succeeded by Mr.. Goodwin. of this
has been any number of terms established as
the rule, maintain that it has as often been
three as two. How is the rule in the other
districts? Mr.. Perham is serving out his third
Il IT.
Peters, now on his first term, succeeded Mr..
Rice, who also served three terms. 1t will
thus be perceived that the established usage
In all other districts in the State, is three
nominations. If it is insisted now in this
county that two nominations shall be the rule,
1t must be established against presidents in
every other district in the State, eohile the pre-
cedent for three terms IN this county, is as much
eSt1J tiSted as are toUo terms.
l caunot see why we should make an excep-
Ton IN our treatment of our representative,
from the well established usages of the party
thr Jughout the State. The exception is not
claimed because Mr.. Lynch is not one of the
most laboricus men in Congress, nor because
ne Is not one of the most faithful and honest
men 10 that body, nor because he is not one in
perfect sympathy and accord with the noliti-
ga views OF his constituents, nor because his
lnnuence IN Congress is not marked and felt.
nor because he is not man as strong Doliti
caliy IN this county or Cumberland as we
c tSut nominate hm The on possible argument
Ping pm Mr.; Lynch and coming into this county
rule" This, on examination, will be found to
be erroneous. "

THE CoNCERr.-Last Thursday evening at
City Hall, the G. A. R. gave their last concert
to a very full and fashionable audience. The
Portland Band never appeared better on any
occasion, and never played better. Messrs.
Shaw and Thurston were in excellent spirits
and fine voice. Their singing was highly
gratifying to the crowded house and duly ap-
preciated. Kotzschmars piano-forte playing
was clear, distinct and crisp, and much ap-
plauded. Miss Faunce has no reason to COM
plain of Portland audience. Her perform
ances were most enthusiastically received
She has mellow, fresh, sympathetic voice
and her execution OF the pieces selected was
good. Post No. may congratulate tn sm-
selves upon the success that has crowned their
enterprise, and our citizens thank them for the
entertainments.

why do not more people belong to the
Christian church," was the question at the
last public meeting of the Suffolk Conference
held in Boston,
1T is said that Mr.. Hubbard, the liberal
Episcopal rector of Westerly, r. T.. soon to be
tried, has been notified that he will have no
light admonition, as in the case of Mr. Tyng
but If he allows the to go to trial, will un-
doubtedly be suspended. Last week two cler-
gymen met Bishop Clarke in the streets of
Providence. One OF them said to him: "Rsb.
On If do n 1nor ol1to md I.
erly matter tenderly, you will have the Meth
odist division over again." To which the bish-
op replied: 81 think it will come any way. I
don't know how wide this disafection spreads,
but it seems to be foregone conclusion that
we shall split. Some things must be ground
to powder to work them over again."
The good Bishop Manton Eastburn did, two
Sundays back, preach and officiate in the Old
South Congregational church of Boston. He
had on no gown nor bands, but his usual citi-
zen's dress; he offered extemporaneous prayt 7;
he ventured to speak OF the house they were in
as the temple of God; and, in place of the
prayer for bishops and other clergy, he prayed
luz all ministers of the Gospel, and the con-
s'esaIlons committed to their charge" just
