vi inc EOrtys Ninth Legislature
We publish on the outside of to-day's
fREss list of the members of the Senate
and House that meet to-day at Augusta. 1t
VIII be seen that the number of members of
ABILITY and reputation is full as large as our
past Legislatures will average. Politically
the Republican preponderance is so great that
all contests must be family quarres between
members of that party, if any occur, for the
opposition is Insignificant in point of num-
bers. The only political matter of impor-
lance, however, that viii be likely to arise, is
the election of a United States Senator tn
FL out the unexpired term of the late Sena-
tor Fessenden. The place left vacant nv Mr.
Fessenden's death is now occunied nv Hon
LOU M. Morrill, who holds it by temporary
appointment from the Governor. There will
PROBABLY be little controversy in respect TO
Tue oenatorship, since the election by this
LEGISLATURE IS for only one years service.
Inc matter of railroad consolidation is one
OF the most important that will occunv the
attenslon of the Legislature this winter. and
more excitement will probably be cause by
IL IMAM any other piece of legislation intro
oaced. Considerable opposition to the move
heht has already developed itself, especially
n those counties that Go not now eniov rail.
ROAD facilities, bnt we judge that on the whole
Inc project will be received with favor. The
granting of charters to projected railroads
may also occasion some excitement, especial
~ that which the Aroostook people have in
view.
As we have before stated upon good au-
thorlty there is little probability that the radi-
cal temperance men, will again urge a con-
staoulary law upon the Legislature at this
time, though the whole temperance pro-
gramme may be changed by the Convention
shortly to be held at Auburn. We hear no
rumors of revival of either the capital pun
t'hment or woman suffrage agitation, but both
subjects are likely to be considered. The re-
pal OF the usury laws will no doubt be press
ed more actively than ever. The award of
the State printing, which is now done by the
firm of Sprague, Owen and Nash, will bring
out the best efforts of those who are person
ally interested.
Whatever OF Importance is done or said our
readers will hear of promptly. We have
made arrangements to receive by telegraph a
daily abstract of Legislative proceedings.
while our special correspondent, one of the
most active and well-informed gentlemen
connected with Maine journalism, will tran

on Red River, as the people are almost unit

States before they will submit to Canada Gov.
McDougall has started for home, and it is well
Tor him and the country. We shall now have
quiet until the spring opens, when some stir
ring times may be expected, as the Governor
has given out that there will be invading armies
in the country, one by Lake Superior, one by
York Factory, and one by British Columbia
across the Rocky Mountains"
The same writer says there is authority for
saying the Sioux and Little Crow Indians and
band of fugitiyes from America have been
ted and kept in readiness to make a raid on
the United States in the spring, and sweep all
before them IN retaliation for the supposed part
we have taken against Gov. McDougall. The
leaders OF the Governors party in the settle.
ment are all tends in human shape, and would
stop at no bloody means to accomplish their
ends, and it is all foolishness to suppose Gov
McDougall is not cognizant of all their doings,
yet he went off yesterday without note of
warning to any one, and the very last words OF
his Attorney General Richards, to us were,
Well get even with you when the time

The heirs of an eccentric old maiden lady
OF Medford, Mass, were so curious as to her
possessions that the day before the funeral
they resolved themselves into an investigating
committee and rummaged the premises for
treasure. Seven hundred dollars in silver coin
and two hundred dollars in bills were among
the spoils, while an old arm chair sat in by
Gen. Washington while drinking from the ia
NOUS punch-bowl now in possession of Mr.
Bradlae, of Boston, was relic for which there
was lively competition.
