Thus far ''all went merry as marriage
bell" The convention had been got into
working order, and the proper moment for
launching candidates for the nomination
seemed to have arrived. c. T. Kimball OF
Portland, Gen. Roberts of Bangor, and Gen.
Smith of Waterville, were generally dis
cussed,s and Sone of them TO all human ap-
pearances was the "coning man"-with the
chances in favor Of Roberts. There was
every prospect of speedy nomination, and a
good-natured acquiescence in the result, but
scheme had been concocted by a few in
subordinate spirits, which, .metaphorically
speaking, was to make the day fierce and
bloody one. George +. Emery of Portland,
cssayed to be the vanguard Of the Young
Hunkers, and led the assault by submitting

There was a very pleasant gathering, on
Monday evening of the friends of DIR. W. L.
Thompson and his estimable wife, at their
residence on State street, on the occasion of
the tenth anniversary OF their wedding day,
better known as the "tin wedding The pro-
ject had been conceived several days previ-
ously, all the details Of the arrangements
being entrusted to competent hands, adopts in
the art Of surprising" Much credit is due
Mr.. Fowler, Of the firm of Fowler, Hamlen &
Smith, to Mrs. J. M. Sanborn, Mrs. G. w.
Quinby and others, for the quiet and admira-
bic manner in which the arrangements were
carried out. OF course the doctors compan-
ion had to be made party in the conspiracy,
in order to perfect contamination OF the plot;
but the doctor himself was totally in the dark
as to the designs and intentions of his friends.
On the evening in question, he was in attend
ance at Masonic, meeting, and on arriving
home at about half-past nine O'Clock, found
his house brilliantly illuminated, a company
of wandering minstrels performing exquisite
music in the doorway, and the smiling faces
of about one hundred and fifty of his friends
AMI neighbors occupying the various rooms
and halls of his hospitable mansion. They
appeared to be completely at home, and were
enjoying themselves to the fullest extent.
Never did a more jolly set of individuals Ego
after the DOCTOR" There wasn't sick look
ing one among them. The crowd, the hearty
greeting, the social enjoyment, we're each and
all happy surprises to our friend, but these
were augmented when he was led to the dining
room where long table was decked out with
the presents that had been brought to typify
the tin wedding. The donors had gone Q lit
tie beyond the license of such an occasion and
procured magnificent silver tea, service of
seven pieces, costing $75: Then there was Tin
ware enough to stock small sized country
store-tin manufactured into every conceiva-
bic article for use and ornament, from q
mammoth watering pot to full set of jewelry
for the doctors wife,. Besides all these the
friends had cooperatedt with Mrs. Thompson
in providing ample refreshments, delicious
and tempting. Several varieties of cake, ice
cream and strawberries were supplied to all;
and after the multitude had been fed, there
remained large quantities of Fragments to be
gathered up--not homcopathic fragments,
either. The presentation address was made
by the Rev. Mr.. Quinby, who alluded in
very happy manner to the respect and esteem
in which the doctor was held by his many
friends, and their appreciation Of his worth ~

stitut;onality of the Legal Tenier act
A list Of the members Of the Tennessee Consti-
tutional Convention shows that nearly all Of
them served 10 the Confederate army, or were
identihed politically with the Confederate cause
Seven only are Republicans principally ez-
officers Of the Union army, aud the remaining
six,y-eight are ex-rebels, and are DISTINGUISHED
under the laws of Tennessee.
The message Of Governor Walker to the Viz
GINA Legislature is very far from giving satis-
faction in Republican circles and the Virginia
delegation is considerably disappointed at his
political tone, which they regard a. leaning too
much toward the rebel sentiment Of the State
The Lower House Of Minnesota has, by a vote
of 33 to Is, passed a bill TO amend the State
Constitution, so as to provide for female suffrage
The bill provides that women may vote upon the
proposition, in special boxes. Several members
stated that, though opposed to woman suffrage,
they voted for the measure in order to have it
submitted to the people. The Senate, it is cup
posed, will concur.
The Connecticut Democracy are in trouble.
Ex-Governor English wants the gubernatorial

The Duke has the reputation Of using his
great wealth and influence worthily, but the
fact that one man can possess so great an
area Of land in a comparatively small island
like England; that his decease will bring
no division of it, or at best, detaeh from the
main body only a few outlying miles; and
the vet worse fact, that, the concentration
once effected, the vast estate must almost in
evitably receive further additions; furnish
powerful argument in favor of the repeal Of
the laws which favor these gigantic accumu-
lations Of wealth.

The Distress in England and lis Renedle..

The Distress In England and lis Remedies
The distress now prevailing among the
laboring population Of England, Is so
wide and deep-seated in its causes, as
obviously to lie beyond the power OF any
measures of a temporary character to afford
the needed relief Ii is not Of an accidental
nature, removable by a generous public sub
scription, or the possible event of plentiful
harvest in the autumn it is permanent, for 1t
has its springs in the foundation of English
society, and its increase is simply question
of time. That these facts are generally re-
cognized. is shown by the discussions active
" in progress IN London, in which the RENE
dies suggested, would, if thoroughly carried
ont reyolutonize the whole fabric of the
British commonwealth. Among the least
radical of these suggested ameliorations OF
the condition of the working man, is emigra-
ton. in colonies made up from all trades and
professions. Bat opponents of this scheme
saw that the true remedy i not TO be found
in emigration to unoccupied lands abroad ;
it should be sought in a more equitable di-
vision of the productive area OF soil at home.
They urge that large portions OF the entalied
estates of the nobility produce on an aver
age the minimum of their productive capacl-
ty, and not until the law OF primogeni-
ture is abolished will this condition OF things
be materially altered for the better. With
redundant population, and narrow terrific
rial area impossible of extension, 1t has be-
come an absolute necessity to abolish this
law, whose UNMARRIED operation is to concen-
trate IN few hands the ownership OF the
soil. One of the most notable instances Of
this is furnished in the person of the Duke
of Buccleuch. From a recently published
sketch of this nobleman we extract the fol-
lowing, illustrative of the matter in cues
ton
The present Duke of Buccleuch is the lineal
representative of the illegitimate son Of Charles
the Second, the unfortunate Duke If Mon
mouth. The same Buccleuch property
which in Charles the Seconds time was worth
$4,000 . year, is now probably rated at that
sam multiplied by twenty. Besides this, the
Drks Inherited the estates Of the notorious Duke
