In the Superior Court, Boston, on Saturday,
before Judge Colt, Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Davis presented the following request
for an injunction:
"That at meeting of the Boston and Maine
Railroad held at Berwick, Maine, Dec. ID,
they voted to authorize the Directors to in
crease the capital stock of the corporation by
not exceeding over g., 900, 900 at par value,
which should he divided into shares of 500
each and issued at their discretion; that the
Directors voted, Dec 20, that two shares OF
| the new stock should be issued at par to every
\ stockholder for each five shares he now holds
| that the market value of each share ii
| S144.25; that such increase of stock is no
| authorized by law, and that under chap. 3S9
laws of 1871 such course would subject the
charter and franchise of the company to for
fixture. The information prays that, in case
the court believe that such increase is author
lied in any way by an excepting act chap. 392,
of 1871 they will order the directors to de-
sst and refrain from the above mode of issu
ing the increased stock, as the only legal mode
is sale by auction to all bidders.
Judge Colt issued an order Of notice, re-
turnable next Saturday., when the question
of issuing an injunction will be heard and de-
termined."

ITEMS FROM WALDO COUNTY.

To the Editor of The Journal:-
The following officers were elected by
Marsh River Lodge, F. A. NJ. at the regular
meeting Dec. Goth. W. NJ, A. B. Fogg
S. W., C. W. Pierce; J. W., d. L. Knowles
s., J. H. Gordon; T., A. w. Rich; S. d.,
d. Bracket; J. d., E. Davis; S. S., L. l..
Higgins; J. s., A. II. Higgins; Tyler, w.
G. Rowe. Bro. J. II. Gorden was unanimous
y elected but declined serving as w. M,
much to the regret of his many friends. 1t
is due him in this public notice of election of
officers to make this explanation.
The thermometer was II degrees below on
Thursday 2lst, and the conundrum is, "Has
your cellar frozen?" There is good sleighing
with us in Waldo County.
The business along our Railroad is good,
there has been a scarcity Of cars for carrying
freight, and much complaint has been occa-
stoned. A new locomotive, the "Gov. Nor
rill" has been put on the route.
The friends of the proposed Railroad from
Belfast to Bangor by way of Swanville, Mon
roe, Winterport and Hampden are active and
will ask charter of the legislature this
winter. There will be connection between
Belfast and Bangor by rail before many
years. This is a foregone conclusion. There
is strong feeling in this section favorable to
the completion of such an enterprise, and the
opposing of the scheme last winter caused the
defeat of one of the candidates for Senator
from this county the present year.
Hay and fodder of all kinds is scarce
There is yet surplus of stock. Droyers are
taking out some, and the butchers some
Sheep are high and in good demand. Apples
are not keeping well-a crop that ripens ear
ly decays early. There is large surplus of
potatoes, and farmers have been holding them
for a rise. They are beginning to market
them now, not seeing much prospect of an
advance.
There Is movement on to establish a
boot and shoe mandatory at Brooks Village.
The situation and convenences are first class,
and there is every inducement to establish
this and other industries. We are glad to see
so general an awaking to the importance of
establishing manufactures, not only in this
county but all over our broad and noble
State.
On the Penobscot, the smelt fishery is
brisk, and an item of Importance to our
shore towns that summers are quite extern
sively engaged in other fisheries. Ship
building will be about the same as in the past
year or two, the coming year.
The beautiful island jutting out between
the smart towns of Searsport and Stockton,
in Penobscot bay, and covered with heavy
growth of wood, forming a pleasing feature
in the scenery, has been sold we understand,
to the Cobb Lime Co. of Rockland, who in
tend cutting off the growth for the hungry
maws Of their lime kilms. This island is the
last remnant of property held by the heirs of
the early propretors of Waldo county, Sears,

THE MISSOURI COALITION

The coalition of republicans and demo-
Gratis in Missouri is laboring diligently to
extend itself outside the State. First
came its announcement of the passive poll
cy, which gave the democrats to under
stand the part they are expected to play
in the presidential campaign, and now we
have its other half in an address issued by
the Gratz Brown republicans stating what
they wish and propose to do.
OF course the plan is to operate as in
the Missouri State programme of 1871.
The grand rallying cry is to be reform of
the civil service. and reduction of taxation,
With this win 60 the coarsest abuse of the
administration and the republican party.
But unfortunately for this scheme the Pres
iGent is committed to the reformation of
the civil service, and has given the strong
est evidence possible that he means to be
as good as his word. Every republican in
Congress favors reform, although there is
some difference as to the best means of eff
fecting it. Nothing can be gained for re-
form in the civil service by trusting it to
an amalgamation of democrats, whose par
ty is responsible for the abuses which exist
in the system, and faction of dissatisfied
republicans, whose grievances are chiefly
personal
- In regard to taxation, the President has
recommended and Congress will probably
accomplish the almost entire sweeping
away of internal revenue taxation. This
work will be completed by the republican
administration.
Then. again, they complain of the high
tariff, but the temper of Congress upon
that subject and the organization of the
House Committees, indicate wise and
prudent course, such as is adapted to the
present condition of things. We have no
doubt that abuses which have crept
into the tariff will be removed, that it
will be carefully revised. and that re-
duction viii take place, which will be
beneficial, while at the same time the
scale will be so adjusted as to afford the
amplest protection to American Industries.
Thus the platform of the Missouri schemers
is anticipated Their thunder is stolen be-
fore they take the field.
The liberal spirit Of the President is alse
manifested in his recommendation of am
nesty Congress will undoubtedly give eff
feet to his advice. The spirit in which
the bill before that body has been receiv-
ed leaves no doubt that amnesty will not
long be delayed. This is one of the ideas
which has been counted upon by the
coalition to influence the Presidential vote.
So we think that the labor Of Governor
Gratz Brown and his associates will be
lost. even if they could obtain the full en-
dorsement of the democratic party to the
passive policy, which cannot be done.
While they are sending out their addresses
the ground is slipping away from beneath
their feet, leaving them nothing to stand
upon. They must seek some later de-
parture than the last one invented, or they
will have no issue to present. This they
will be unable to do in the brief period be-
fore election, and so their coalition will
come to an early and peaceful death.

aud have withal some reasons to give

wrong in opposing them, The South
at least has no reason to give for OPP

war saved the Union, and Republican
Institutions at the same time, then ii
is a mistake to say the amendments
are any result of the war, and the
Democrats are right in saying they
are the results of subs eIuent usurpa-

resolutions because upon such a plat
form we may carry weakened Re
publican votes, and might, by making
a few more concessions, induce Chase,
Sumner, GrOesbeck, OF some OF that
ilk, 20 accept a nomination for Presi-
dent in 1872 on the Democratic ticket.
Our concessions and want of a sufi-
cient amount Of moral vertibe on
tributed largely to OIL defeat in 1864
and 1868; shall we, like fools, fall into
the same trap that has twice caught
Us, or shall we still fight under the

battle cry? Admit, for the sake

piles Of that party, as enunciated by
IFS immortal founders, Jefferson and
Madison, we can not indOrse 4 this

by which we obtained it, we think it

The country are continually hocking,
and if for that reasOn crimes multiply
on their court calendars, it is not more
the fault Of such cities or counties than
il is of the State. In fairness to
all, the expense OF enforcing the
criminal laws should fall equally
on all. 1t is no answer
for a county 10 say we have
little or less crime than another cOun-
". That is good fortune. But If the
rogues were equally distributed
through the State il would be much
harder to bear their proportion Of the
expense than 1t is now, without being
q whit more reasonable. We think
the Upton Record is right in the
views expressed as fellows;

mesnor case, or against a deiaulting

dollars and fifty cents is paid out of
the c0st bill into the State Treasury.

county must pay the bill. Ii the tax
accruing in these cases goes to the
State when collected from defend
ants, il is no more than just that the
State should pay these costs when
they cannot be otherwise collected.
The county of Shelby suffers perhaps
more in this respect than any other
county in the State. There in the

money is not taken from the county
