whether the act of 1862 prescribing an oath Of
office is now in force The census bill was
taken up and discussed, but no action was to
ken. In the House resolution introduced

Senator Sprague, as it seems to legislators
is behaving queerly; he has not made his ap.

since the Christmas adjournment. Last

the Capitol and attending to his duties as
senator, he remained coquetting for couple
OF days with some of his labor reform friends,
and then he returned to Rhode Island.

THE bill before Congress to prohibit polys-

THE Argus is so recklessly partisan that il
cannot quote correctly another paper. The
Lewiston Journal, so far from saying that the
third party will become the first at the next
election, declares that it believes the conyic
ton among temperance men is to-day much
strongerthan it was at the time of the last
election, that the Republican party can be re-
lied upon to give that support 10 prohibition
and its enforcement, which it is reasonable to
expect from any political organization, and
something new must transpire to unsettle this
increasing confidence.
