all means, while extending It, cripple them
that they shall not rob another corporation of
its privileges and that is in accordance with
the maxim and common law that il as old rs
the history Of the law itself, and that is
that you must so use you own property as
to not injure the property of another"
Mr.. CARLETON said while g are discussing
this question, as usual we have an echo from
that sink of slime-the Portland Press, de-
nouncing every member of this House who
has any desire to grant the Maine Central
Railroad its rights.
After quoting from an article in the Press
he said he used the word Molusks yesterday
IN the same sense that they used it. 1t was
true that Cuvier places this term in the sec
ond great division of the animal kingdom but
by their contortion they tear it away from its
place and apply it to the other kingdom of
flesh, therefore he translated it to mean Just
what they intended. They did not mean that
II should apply to clans or Holsters.
In conclusion, he said he sincerely pited
these fellows, the managers of this nervous
Shiny sheet, the Portland Press, and he was
exceedingly glad that their lot in life was cast
in this last half of the ninteenth century in
stead of the days in which Baalam lived, rs
that old prophet in all honesty (they being
an exact fac smile of the donkey he so
much admired) might have placed his saddle
and bride upon them without having been
accused OF the most remote aspirations to
aristocracy. Let them come again.
Mr. Knight spoke briefly in favor of re-
ceding and concurring.
MIR. FEssESDES withdrew his motion to re-
cede, and the House on motion voted to ask
