leaving their grain in the shock too long.
This Is often done to save stacking, as il Is

ANOTHER New STEAMBoAT.-The Cor.
ona the last, and of course the best boat
that g. S. Pand Esq, has built for Mr.
Goodrich, was launched last Sa urday al,
ternoon. This steamer is $50 feet in length
and 27 feet in width of beam, and is to take
the machinery of the old Comet She is
not as large as the Sheboygan or Manito
,coc, but with the excellent engine of the
Conaet, and her own adaptability to fly,
she will be the fastest boat ever run upon the
Lakes. After she is fitted up We will give
the entire dimensions to our readers.
Mr. Goodrich should receive the thanks
of the lobor ing men of our village fol
what he has done for them, in the past
and we hope that he will continue to show,
er blessings upon US in the shape Of start
ing another large boat.

PLAN TO MAKE PoUND GOVERNOR =
The Appleton Crescent says, "A strong
movement has been initiated TO have Gov.
Fairchiid appointed secretary of War,
with reasonable prospect of success the
appointment not to be made until January.
Thus if the Jacobin ticke: should succeed,
this movement would make Mr. Pound our
next Governor
The hundreds upon hundreds of moral
Republicans who made up their minds to
content themselves with cutting Pound 5
name from their tickets will at once see
the importance OF inserting in its stead the
name of Hamilton IL Gray, one of the
best and noblest men in the State, a Dem
ocrat 'in whom there Is 40 guile. "

LIQUOR LEGIsLATIoN.-We print to-day a
letter flom DR.. Buzzell of Gorham in which
he explains the method adopted, as he believes
for killing his bill to prevent the manufacture
and sale Of poisonous liquors. This bill seems
TO have been approved by a. majority of both
Houses. Some management seems also to
have been used by the opponents Of the State
police bill to strange it in quiet way. The
Senate rejected it by only one majority, while
in the House majority of five was given in
its favor. 1t then went into the hands of two
conference committees, and the Legislature
adjourned before the last committee could re-
port. The only change made in our liquor
laws this winter is by the bill we referred to
yesterday making the complaint Of a single
person sufficient foundation for search and
seizure process, and an amendment to the
law regulating municipal liquor agencies
which makes it incumbent for towns to pur-
chase their liquors hereafter ofthe State Com

The Defeat of the Hill to Prevent the Nam
ufncture or Sale of Poisonous Liquors.


To the Editor Of the Press:
In your remarks of to-day concerning the
adjournment of the Legislature, especially in
reference to rejected measures" in speaking
Of the bill which introduced "to prevent the
manufacturers sale of poisonous or adulterat-
ed liquors." you say you understand
that it was overked in the hurry of clos
ing up the business Of the session, I should be
happy to believe, sir, that the defeat of that
measure, which seemed to be the hope of tenn
perance mem in the Legislature and out of it,
especially after the defeat of the State Police
bill, was due merely to an oversight, or to being
Overlooked" in the hurry of closing up the
business of the session. But from what have
learned since my return from Augusta in re-
gard to this matter, as well as what I know of
the course of certain Senator from Kenne-
bee, in regard to this, as well as the State Pc.
lice bill and in fact every measure or amend
ment of temperance laws which gave promise
of promoting their efficiency in the least de-
gree, l cannot refrain from saying that Mr..
Stevens, Senator from Kennebec, did design
eddy move to lay the bill upon the table when
it was on its passage to be enacted in the Sem
@oC, Va eAO AAAoAhAnS VI "oJOuAhhAOAO, duu WIN
the express design to defeat its passage. When
it is known that the bill had been printed, and
was before both branches of the Legislature
several weeks before the close of the session,
had been referred to two Committees, and
then to subcommittee, and that when finally
reported it met with no wordlof opposition in
the House on its several readings and passage
to be engrossed, or on its passage to be enact
ed, and that when the bill was on its passage
to be engrossed in the Senate, Mr.. Stevens
moved to lay it on the table for his examina-
ton, and after examining it to his satisfaction
he consented to its passage to be engrossed,
giving its friends 20 suppose that he was to
oppose the bill no more and the matter can be
better understood. And then Just as the
Legislature was about to adjourn and no one
was present to look after the bill, he moves to
lay it on the table expressly to defeat its pas
sage the present year. Temperance men will
draw their own inference in regard to Mr..
Stevens whole course this winter upon tenn
perance legislation. If he wins any laurels
from temperance men by his course am mis-
taken. The friends of the cause have been
cheated out of this measure by this manauvre
on his part. Yours truly.
