Small Pox Scare in Bankor-Court Adj

People Indignant.
BANGOR, JAM 1.-THE January term of the
Supreme Court convened in this city to-day,
Judge Cutting presiding. After the jures were
empannelled and the court adjourned for the
morning, meeting of the bar was held, at
which it was decided that the presiding Judge
be requested to dismiss the juries and adjourn
the court without day, on account of the preva-
lence of the small pox. A committee was APP
pointed, who, upon the coming in of the court
in the afternoon, made the motion to adjourn.
The motion was opposed by G. P. Brown, Esq,
as unnecessary and uncaled for. The motion
prevailed, however, and the court was adjourned
without day.
The action Of the bar is strongly denounced
by our citizens who believe there is no occasion
for any such action for the cause named, that it
is ill-advised, unwise and calculated to cause
| needless alarm and seriously interfere with
| trade by keeping persons from adjoining tow ms
away from the city. The true reason of the
| adjournment is believed to be that no cases of
Importance are ready for trial, and small pox is
the pretext, rather than the cause for adjourn
| ment
The whole number of cases now under treat
ment in this city is 81, mostly mild type Of
variloid. No new cuses have been reported to-
| day.

ant social affair,-the uniting in marriage of

Miss Flora E t., only daughter of Capt. Leonard
Grant, formerly of Rockland, Me- The mar
rage ceremony was performed by gas light,
by the Rev. G. w. Bicknell of this city. A
generous table, where every guest Jared sump-
tuously, was set out Immediately after the GER
emony. At 800 the happy couple started on
the inevitable wedding tour to the West, amid
the good wishes and bountiful benedictions of
assembled friends. The wedding presents were

cent piano from Boston friends and silver
service from the officers of the Revenue Cutter,
McCulloch.

NEW HAMPSHIRE.
The Opening of the Political Campaign.

mt VPc0Ah8 VI tmc OtAsACh1
CONCORD, Jan. 6-Caucuses were held in the
several wards of this city Saturday evening to
choose delegates 70 the Democratic State Con-
vention, which is to be held here next Wednes-
day, and to the Congressional, Councillor,
Senatorial and County Conventions which are
to follow, The State Convention will open the
political campaign on the part of the Demo-
cratic party, and except in the Congressional
canvass it promises to be very tranquil one
Among the most prominent names mentioned
in connection with the Gubernatorial nomina-
lions are Isaac Adams OF Sandwich, G. w, M.
mouth, II. Colony of Keene and J. A. Dodge
of Plymouth. AS the names of Hon. James
A. Weston, candidate last year, and Frank
Jones of Portsmouth, have been publicly with
drawn. the choice will doubtless fall upon one
of the above mentioned. The present Congress
sional delegation will unquestionably be re-
nominated.
The Republican State Convention is to be
held in this city Tuesday, January IA, and
Hon. E. A. Straw will probaly be re-nominated
for Governor The contest in the several Con-
gressiopal districts is very spirited, the candi-
dates in each being numerous and working Wig
orously. In the first district the names of
Samuel M. Wheeler of Dover, and William B.
Smith of Newmarket, seem to be the most
prominent, with chances in favor of the latter.
The second district presents number of can
didates, but since the withdrawal of James f.
Briggs and Daniel Barnard, the nomination
of Austin f. Pike Of Franklin seems fore
gone conclusion. Mr. Pike is popular man
with his party throughout the district
He has held several offices Of trust and has a
host of friends, who will spare no efforts to OBJ
tain for him political preferment. tits impos-
sible to calculate with any certainty upon the
result in the third district, there being no less
than four or five candidates. A present view
of the field however, indicates that the strug-
gle will lie between Simon G. Griffin of Keene
and Levi w. Barton of Newport, but in the
evont of the two counties, Cheshire and Sulli-
van, not uniting upon candidate, the nominal
tlon may be thrown into Grafton county. and
tne name OF II: w. Blair of Plymouth, has
been mentioned in this connection.

AUGUSTA MATTERS.
Especial Despatch to the Press.]
Lively RaiIrOad War.


| AUGUSTA, Jan. 7.-Everything now indicates
| lively railroad war, and the respective COM
batants are bringing up their forces so that by
the first of next week there will be the strong
est lobby ever at Augusta. Mr.. Bickford OF
the Boston & Maine is here to take charge OF
his forces, while Marshal Marble S. L. Mill
ken of Belfast, and others are looking well af-
ter Maine Central interests. The wise ones
predict the sharpest railroad war in the history
of Maine legislation.
Woman Suffrage.
It is evident that the friends of woman suf-
frage will make Strenuous contest to secure
the ballot to the women of Maine. There are a
number of warm advocates Of the measure in
iston and Clifford of Vassalboro'. Lucy Stone
will be here soon.
Coburn Land Company.
The bill to incorporate the Coburn Land Co.
with capital of $4,OO0,OOO is SO much of a
monster on the surface and has so much of un-
certainty about it, that it will meet with decid-
ed opposition, and if passed, will be considera-
bly, modified and uarded.
Aroostook Matters.
1t is expected that petitions numerously sign
ed for the establishment of one term of the Su-
preme Court in Aroostook County, at Lyndon,
will be presented. though the measure will not
secure the support of the majority of the coun-
ty delegation.
The scheme to set off a part of Penobscot to
Aroostook attracts little attention in either
county.
A resolve will be presented providing for an
investigation into the circumstances of those
settlers in Madawaska and Northern Aroostook
occupying lands which they supposed to belong
to the State, but which are now claimed by the
E. & N. A. Railway Co. The matter already
occasions much irritation and alarm.
EFT Cetera.
The matter cf Reporter of Decisions will not
be decided for several weeks. There are so
many worthy gentlemen mentioned in connec-
ton with the office that Governor Perham de-
sres to take time to consider the merits of all.
Contrary to the timely suggestion of the
Governor, the statute tinkerers began their
work yesterday.
The Judiciary Committee will meet Tuesday
and Thursday afternoons, and the Committee
on Legal Affairs Thursday afternoons.
The remark on bridges at the States ex-
pense, to which the Journal refers, had no ref
erence to the Address of the Governor, but to
the assertion of one of number of
members who were advocating aid for another
in that section that His Excellency approved it
when another thought it would apply to a hun
bred localities.
The appointment of the Committees as a
whole gave qnite general satisfaction.
