BRIsrow MEETS WITH NO DIFFIcULTY-A
CLOSE RUB FOR NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
SENATORS REFUSE TO VOTE.
WAsRISGToN, June 2.-When the Senate
went into executive session this afternoon a
unanimous report was made from the COM
mittee on finance recommending the con-
the = treasury, in the place of
without hesitation, unanimously con-
firmed the nomination. Not SO
however, with regard to the domination of
Richardson to be judge of the Court of
Claiins, which was not reported back unani-
mously from the committee on the judiciary.
During forty minutes of the session views
were interchanRed by the senators, rather in
conversational way than by debate, the
democrats openly basing their opposition
to the nominee on the report of the
committee on ways and means and
the accompanying testimony in the Sanborn
case having reference to him. With this
exception the question arose as to his fitness
for the judgship. But little was said on the
republican side. Certainly no formal de-
tense was made of his conduct in tho matter
of the Sanborn contracts. Finally when the
question was taken on advising
and consenting to the nomination, number
of republican senator's in their seats declined
to vote. A sufficient number of them, how
ever did so to carry the confirmation by q
small majority. If those who opposed the
nomination by failing to respond to their
names had voted in the-negative, the nom-
ination would have been rejected. The Sem
ate had been canvasYed by q senatorial
friend of Richardson week before his
nomination was transmitted to the Senate,
when it appeared that confirmation could
be secured though by a small majority.
Massachusetts, has now two Judges on the
bench of the court Of claims, Loring and

Editors and PublisherS Excursion.

s~~e>s
The Committee of the Maine Editors and
Publishers Association, met in Portland on
Monday and blocked out the following pro-
gramme:
Monday, July 18th. Leave Portland at
LIS 2. NJ, by Grand Trunk railway for
Gorham, N. H., thence to the Glen House,
and stay there Monday night.
Tuesday, July Nth. Go up Mt. Washing
ton and return to Glen House and stay over
night.
Wednesday, July 18th. Go to Glen Station.
Thence by Portland and Ogdensburg railroad
to the Crawford House, (through the Notch)
and stay there Wednesday night.
Thursday, July 10th. Go to the Profile
House and stay till Friday noon.
Friday, July 18th. &c to Weirs via Little
ton, N. H., passing through the Pemiegewas-
set Valley and down Lake Winnepiseogee to
Wofboro and stay at the Pavilion Hotel over
night.
Saturday, July 18th. Leave Wolfboro for
Alton Bay by steamer enjoying a sail on this
beautiful and picturesque sheet of water; and
at Alton Bay take the cars for Dover, thence
to Portland, arriving at Portland Saturday
noon.
This is one of the most attractive routes that
could have been selected by the committee,
and we doubt if so much could be seen and
enjoyed in SO short time on any other route
in the country. Several routes were sug-
gested to the committee, but in selecting they
had to be governed somewhat by the facilities
that could be afforded for accommodating SO
large party. The route published may be
varied somewhat if satisfactory arrangements
cannot be made at all the places mentioned.
The committee hope to bring the expense OF
the entire trip within $25.

State Election Returns.

Portland, .. The election returns come in
slowly.
Tolmau, rep, for Governor, carries Multi
nomah by about 500 plurality.
Campbell, the independent candidate, has
probably carried Douglas by $50 majority ov-
er both the other candidates. He carries Polk
by 100 plurality and Lane by about 100 p!u-
rality.
Grover, den., has a much lighter vote than
was anticipated. He carries Linn by a reduc-
cd vote, and his vote everywhere is behind
that of his party.
The contest for Congressman will not diff
fer very much from the Governors vote, ex-
cept that Ludlow, DEM, has more votes than
the Governor, and Davenport, ind, runs be-
hind Campbell.
Tolman's own precinct, which has hereto
fore gone republican, goes agains him.
The returns received are mainly from plac.
es along the railway line and are influenced
by railroad interests.
1t is expected that .Tolman's vote in this
county will fall off considerably.
The Temperance party have proved to have
Lad quite important votes in some parts of the
State. In this county this influence caused
the defeat of some Of the independent candi-
dates.
The Custom House ticket carries this city
and county.
The Independents carried their ticket in
many counties, and will hold control of the
legislature.
The Independents are jubilant and consider
their victory in Portland great triumph.

The Bill to Abolish the State Con,
Stabulary Vetoed!
Lieut.. Gov. Talbot's Message.

Boston, 2. Lieut.. Governor Talbot sent in
to the State Senate this afternoon a message
accompanied by his veto of the bill to abolish
the State Constabulary. The message was
quite long and was read in the Senate.
After referring briefly to the novelty of his
position in an Introductory way, the Lieuten-
| ant Governor calls attention to the bill and
gives his reasons for vetolng it.
He says virtually that although established
but nine years, the force has been of great
| benefit in enforcing order and in executing
the criminal laws of the State.
The local police, he states, are appointed
in accordance with local interests, and it is
| inconvenient to transfer them for duty in
| other places. In this respect the Constabula-
| ~ are convenience, and the constant de-
mand for their services from all parts of the
| State shows the necessity for the force. In
this respect they have always proved exceed
| ingly useful and valuable.
In the execution of the liquor law they have
doue much service, and are in fact a necessi.
| ty. If this was the reason for abolishing the
force, it was an act inconsistent with public
| morality to abolish force because it execut.
| ed the laws.
If the argument was that they had done too
| little, then it were better to make the force
| more sufficient If the local and State DO.
lice together could not enforce the law it ar
gued the need for more instead of less force.
He had as yet been unable to see any JUS,
reason for setting aside any fundamentally
| that had been SO efficient in executing the
law in the different parts of the State and has
| rendered such good services.
The Governor then proceeded to discuss the
difficulties which attended the bill in the alb
sence of all provisions for the final DISPOSE.
| ton of liquor cases now pending the return
or condemnation of seized liquors, and other
points.
He also argued the difficulties attending the
carrying out of that portion of the bill giving
him power to call on the local police, etc.
