AUGUSTA, Jan. 3, 1871.
10 the Editors Of the Press:
Tomorrow night the agony will be over
and King Caucus will sternly decide as to the
organization of both branches of the Forty.
Ninth Legislature. Some changes have taken
place since my last letter in the political
slate. Bolster of Oxford is now decidedly
ahead, and it seems almost a certainty that
he will be nominated President of the Senate
ON the first ballot by handsome majority.
If Mr.. Bolster is selected it will not be because
the old Senators will not testify to the able.
impartial and courteous bearing of Mr.. Lind
sey, who occupied the chair last winter, and
who claims to occupy it this, but because the
position will add nothing more to him, he
having once held it, and it will add to the
reputation of Mr.. Bolster, who had not filled
the position; besides, so far as precedent goes
it points against the second election of a Sen
ator to the Presidency of the body. Gushing
has withdrawn and Bolster's friends claim
mat he is sure of eighteen votes on the first
D""o.' with every probability of his receiving

guests, shows assassination without a motive.
Buckhont, the murderer, had been drinking
freely since Christmas, but was not generally
known as drinking character. The gentle
men were invited to partake of New Years
dinner at Buckhont's house. About ten min

THE DARIEN CANAL ExPEDITIoN.-Wash-
inyton dispatches say it is not true that the
Dalien ship canal expedition must delay its
departure till Congress gives its authority. The
Navy Department has funds sufficient for all
present purposes, and the vessels will get of
in two or three weeks. The survey will not be
an expensive thing, as most of the persons 60
ing out are already in government service on
regular salary. The extent and character of
the exploration will probably depend to some
extent on the wishes of Congress, which it is
expected will be developed during the consid-
Grafton of the message on the subject that the
President will send to both houses soon after
their re-assembling. The SANTANA Bay pro-
ject and the Presidents recent endorsement of
the St Thomas purchase are both connected
with this canal movement.

On the railroads east of Portland more or
less damage was done. On the Portland &
Kennebec road the bridge across the Pre-

the early train from Augusta, due at $50 A.
