Letter From Augusta.
Correspondence of the Journal.
q d}ournnient of the Legislature.

AUGUSTA, March Is, 1863.
The General Court has ''got up and got and
all is quiet Oh the kennebec As a whole this
Legislature has hardly been up to the average
in point OF ability and 1t was general remark
the Gay of adjournment that more bowels than
brains were being carted out Of town.
The financial policy adopted at thfs session
is better described as one of ecouoDaicM e1trag-
dgdnce than in any other way. Money has been
appropriated for almost every conceivable oh
ject, only the sums donated have been trife
less than the amounts asked for. For example
if it was proposed to give $50, 900 for the pur-
chase of ''hard tack" for INDECENT and tooth
less females, the bill would undoubtedly pass,
but the amount would be cut down to 81 900,
saving $4,000 to the State.
Most people here applaud Gov Chamberlain
for his consistent course on the capital punish
ment question. There can be no doubt but
that the community at large can get along with
out the presence of Nj. Harris who, after COM
hitting the most shocking crimes, neglected to
'get insured in the Traveller"
The DonkeypeGe fever is still raging here.
Saturday evening Granite Hall was well filled
with people all agog to witness racing, &C., on
the machine. The Legislature has gone, but
Augusta can furnish asses enough of her own
to keep up the excitement. QUANTICOOk.

For the information OF our truly loyal friends
who may be in expectancy Of crumbs from
Washington, we copy the following piece d

The Postmaster General has stated to two
members of the House that the President wonid
consult Senators in regard to all presidential
appointments, and that the Representatives
would be consulted in reference to ali appoint

A terrible record Of brutality is afforded in
the case Of the ship James Foster Jr now be-

Two little boys OF tender years whose parents

The Legislature finally adjourned Saturday
morning last after a session of sixty-seven days.
The Constabulary Bill did not pass,-the Senate
and House disagreeng and the measure was final
ly strangled in Committee Of Conference. The
State Prison gets an appropriation Of 1000 and
the Agricultural College $4,000. 1t is curious
fact ttat the agitation for repeal Of capital punish
ment has resulted IN the enactment of more
stringent law, ard one that makes hanging certain
in the worst cases OF murder. The dis section bill
in modified form, has become law. The resolve
for biennial elections and sessions Of the Lcgisla
ture failed to pass.

A Canadian View of Grants inaugural

The Toronto Globe, the leading journal of Cana
da, and one that is in strong sympathy with the
now dominant party OF the United States says:
The weakest, poorest part of the inaugural adj
dress is that which treats of foreign relations The
is nothing of consequence in it its i'll nature
and that coming from Gen. Grant is DO stlvely
pitifni He talks of aw-abiding citizens whenever
their rights jeopardized, though he knows that
law-abiding citizens are not those who get INTO
trouble abroad, or on whose behalf Fenan patriots
ask American Intervention. General Grant talks
of respecting the rights of nations who respect the
rights of the United States, and though he does not
pretend to know OF any nation which refuses that
respect. he INDUCES in threat towards those who
may depart from that rule Surely great country
like the United States could afford to withhold its
threats until some gave offence. 1t is pity
that General grant should have descended thus to
pander to the baser instincts Of the mob,
Gen. Grants declaration that if other nations do
wrong we will do wrong also, is one Of the weak
est points in his inaugura--one that will attract
most attention abroad, and necessarily cause the
formation of a very low estimate of his Statesman
ship" He was honest when he declined to accom-
pany Minister Campbellto Mexico upon the ground
that he was untitled both by taste and educat ion
for diplomatic duty. Rochester Union.

The Cabinet Middle.

The stirring up Of the political cauldron at
Washington has not yet so far ceased as to
make anything certain relative to the principal

principles, like the man who marched up the

The journal man charges us with being opposed
to the railroad. Prog. Age.
We don't remember to have distinctly made the
charge but if we did, it only expressed what every
well-inforned friend Of the enterprise has excellent
reasons for believing. The man who will pledge
himself 10 subscribe 4 certain amount, then sub
scribe onehalf Of it, and finally refuse to pay what
he did subscribe cannot be said to give the railroad
much substantial aid and comfort. Also, the editor
of the Age, as representative from Belfast, was
asked to procure the passage Of an act desired by
the Directors. The Judiciary Committee report
ed against it. A member of that Committee writes
that the editor Of the Age opposed ii in Committee
But Mr., Miliiken, Of the Directors, afterwards
spent week at Augusta, and got the act passed.
These are facts, and they constitute such a record

4 large number Of nominations have been
made out and it is understood will be sent to
the Senate tomorrow. They will include for
egn Ministers, Consuls Postmaster, District
Attorneys, Marshals. Collectors Of Customs,
and Collectors and Assessors Of Internal Rev
enue. In making the nominations, President
Grant informed a Representative from Pennsy l.
vania that in most cases he should confer with
the Senators and members of Congress from
the Districts where the nominations We're
made. There were a few localities where he
knew the men that ought to be appointed, and
these places he intended to fill on his own
knowledge. He said he intended to nominate
the United States Marshal and District Attor
ney from the Eastern District of Pennsylvania
For Marshal he would nominate Mr. Murdoch,
he having been removed by President johnson.
The statement that Mr.. Motley's name will be
sent in as Minister to England is, am inform
ed, incorrect. The President has indicated
that he intended to offer that place 20 Mr..
Greeley, on tie ground that he is an impracti-
cable man, mere theorist, and not qualified

NERIIL DISCHARGED.
Nerrls counsel filled exceptions and motion
for a new trial, which was overruled by the full
bench of the Supreme Court Meantime, the
negro had been sentenced to death, and con-
veyed to the State Prison, to await the warrant
for execution This the laws Of Maine require
shall be issued at the end of one years impris-
onment, if the Governor shall SO determine.
If no warrant is issued, the convict remains in
Prison during life. Soon after his committal to
Prison, the negro confessed to the Warden and
others that he had falsely accused Verril, and
that he was in fact innocent of any part in the
crime, or knowledge of it.
Armed with this confession, the counsel for
Verril moved for new trial on the ground of
newly discovered evidence. In resisting the
claim the Attorney General declared that II a
new trial should be granted, he would enter a
nole prosequ, and abandon the case. After a
full hearing, Judge Dickerson delivered an
elaborate and learned opinion upon the points
raised, which is incorporated into the Maine
Reports, granting a new trial, Thereupon the
case was abandoned by the government, and
Verril went forth free man.
