Boston, June 6.-There is trouble be tween
the Boston and Maine and Eastern railroad cor.
porations, which eliminated yesterday in the
stOppage of the new express train from Boston
over the former, at South Berwick Junction.
The trouble grows out Of the termination of the
lease of the Portsmouth, Saco and Portland
road, and it is probable that the new express
will be withdrawn until the matter is adjusted
by litigation

CONCORD, June 6.-rhe city never in its po-
lihcal records presented so active scene as to-
n ha ras.1ae q ~. HeH ara
engineering for the organization Of the legisla-
ture Tomorrow. All but two of the i61 repre-
sentatVeS, calculated upon as the democratic
party strength, were here last evening. The
democrats are claiming the organization Of the
mouse Oy ten majority, in which event the sem
ate vacancies will not be filled until after the
convention for the governor vote, as the senate
VIII not organize. If the democrats are sue
cessful, w. n. Pittman (dem) of Bartlett will
be elected president of the senate, and
w. ". Gone Qabor reforml OF WeaTe,
speaker of the house, and James p.
johnson of Littleton, clerk. The headquarters
OF the democracy are at the Eagle hotel.
Inc republican headquarters are at Rumiord
nail, and present an active appearance, with
confident expression of hope, but the republican
representatives, Scott of Keene and johnson of
Pittsburg are so i'll as not to be able to be pres
ent. The republican candidate for speaker will
probably be Col. VIM. G. Patten of Kingston,
with j. II. Benton, Jr, the clerk of last year, for
the same office. Well informed politicians cal
culate ON Weston's election by close vote, say
five; and the democrats say they can elect him,
even if the house is organized by the republic
ans. The republican members were not relied
upon to be present before Tuesday night, but
there is already larger relative representation
of members elect present than ever voted in the
organization of the legislature.
Ldter.-The politicians are all here. There is
no reason to change the prediction that Weston
will be elected. There is no doubt but a ma
jority of the house is made up of heretofore
republicans, but, for one reason or another.
they will coalesce with the democracy. The re-
publican caucus tonight nominated: James
o. Adams, Manchester, speaker; ]. Benton, Jr.,
Lancaster, clerk; s. c. Clark, Guilford, assist.
ant; Chas. II. Roberts, Rollinsford, sergeant-at-
arms; Moore Langley, Nashua, state print
ers. The democratic caucus is sitting with
closed doors, no reporters or other than repre-
sentatives being admitted the fusion Of labor
reform and democracy being under discussion.
The nominations, however, are: William II.
Cove, Weare, speaker; James X. Jackson, Lit
Teton, clerk; James N. Goliath, Barnstead,
assistant clerk; A. ]. Fogg, Concord, sergeant
alarms.
