The sbeakefshiD,

Our townsman, Edwin B. Smith, Esq. left
last week for Cincinnati, whittier he goes for
the purpose of attending the National Con-
gress for the consideration of prison and re-
formatory discipline, which assemblies in that
city o-day: We are gratified to observe that
his name is favorably mentioned in connec-
ton with the Speakership of the next House
OF Representatives, and hope in time to
chronicle his election. Certainly no city or
town sends TO the Legislature more thor
oughly competent man, and we must confess
to a weakness (if such it may be called for
seeing such offices filled with the best talent
in the State.
Mr.. Smith unites qualities that are emf
nently practical with high legal culture and
the graces of elegant scholarship. His con-
temporaries at the bar long since assigned
him position in the front ranks, and one has
but to consult the last volume of Maine Re-
ports TO learn that he is master of sound
logic and pure style.
His candidacy is not OF his own procure
ment, but having been mentioned in other
parts OF the State, we presume he will not
decline to allow his friends to use his name in
this connection.
An over-nice sense of the "proprieties'
| will undoubtedly prevent him from soliciting
| the support Of members; but his party
| friends in the House may for once pardon
modesty in prominent politician, IN consld,
Grafton of its rarity. Should they DO SO, and
| elect Mr.. Smith, we can assure them that
their Speaker will carry to the discharge OF
his official duties every qualification requisite
| in presiding officer, and prove himself a
not unworthy successor of Blaine, Pike, Ding
ley, Drummond, Foster, and others who have
lent grace and dignity to the Speakers chair
Sdco Democrat.
We indorse every word of the above. Mr.
Smiths good qualities are not at all exagger
ated. Col Robbie of Gorham and Mr.. Bonnie,
of this city will find in him worthy compel
itor, and the public will have the satisfaction
of knowing that whoever of these three i
elected the position of Speaker will be wei
| filled.]

The Albany Eoening Journal says among
the worst of the unhung scoundrels in the
city Of New York are some Of the Judges.
This is notorious; but, with the power to do
so, Gov Hoffman refuses to remove them.
They are too useful to the party in shielding
thieves and robbers, and in protecting the
Governors chiefs in the Erie Directory, to be

LIQUOR LAW DECISION The q. 8. Crcn;t
Court, for the District of Vermont. has recent.
ly given decision in case affecting several
interests in relation to the prohibitory law of
that State. This decision re-afirms the con-
stitutionality of the law, and the immunity of
officers who execute it, and Of States Attor-
neys who give them legal advice as to their
duty. Judge Woodruff also wished it to be
particularly understood that Explass compa-
MES and other common carriers, cannot be pro.
tected in bringing liquors into the State in yio-
lation of the law. These points have been sub.
stantially determined before by the State
Courts of Vermont; but their re-afirmation by
80 high tribunal as the U. s. Circuit Court,
is of Importance; and the decision will he
found of general interest.

The City Council, by its action last evening,
as will be seen by referring to the report of
its proceedings, has placed the p. & R. Rail-
road Co. in position to obtain the means
necessary to complete its road to Rochester
on the most favorable terms, and that without
the loan of an additional dollar or mourning
any additional liability on its account. On
the contrary, the security of the city for its
existing loan has been strengthened, and all
the advantages for which it was made will
now be secured by a completion of the road.
With the security which the company can
now offer, viz, first mortgage bonds on road
in successful operation and connecting with
the best road in the country, the money
ought to be raised in any market at the low
est rate of interest We hope the Directors
will now push the work vigorously and give
us the long desired and much needed new
communication with the West.

THE French kilograms are still bombastic in
relation to the condition of the French army.
We hear daily of their bravery and persistency
that "the heart of the French nation is fred"
to deeds of valor that shall astonish the world;
yet the gardes mobile and volunteers have
bad habit of running away from the Prussians
at every conflict. In fact the whole military
management in France is wre.chedly.imbecile,
and 10 better commentary on this fact is found
than the uninterrupted use which the Prussians
are allowed to make of the railways between
Paris and the Rhine. The heavy siege guns
to be used against the Notifications of the cap
ital. have been transported by rail, work that
would have required weeks of time by the or
binary method. fthe French had few bold
raiders like Stuart, Forrest, Mosby or Grier-
son in their army that nonsense would be
quickly stopped. Mosby is said to (have writ
ten to friend lately: with thousand
picked cavalrymen, could give employment
to one-third Of the Prussian army simply in
watching their long lines of communication"
This is not very boastful language, for be has
done harder tasks than that and can repeat
them. Ito keep open lines extending three
hundred and fifty miles into an enemy's coun-
try with such dashing leaders as those we have
mentioned to contend with would give the
Germans about all the business they wanted.
