The Legislature.

On Wednesday, the State Legislature
again assembled. Governor Perham has
retired to private life, carrying with him
the esteem aud good wishes of the people,
which he has won by his judicious and
economical administration. and the wise
and discreet policy he has pursued for the
furtherance of the best interests of the
State.
So far as our knowledge extends. no
charges have been made and no complaints
uttered by the people against his admins
tration. While he has inaGgurated no new
measures and urged no novel schemes, he
has yet executed the laws as he found
them, with fidelity and wisdom.
His successor. Gov. Dingley, is an active
and energetic mana practical man. IA
miliar with the wants of the State, a. well
as progressive man, ambitious to render
his administration distinguished in every
thing which shall prove for the public well
fare. His suggestions and recommends
tons will justly have great weight and be
duly considered by the Legislative branches
of the Government. Although at the pres
ent time there seems little prospect of many
questions arising of great interest and i'm
portance. vet we shall be disappointed if
the present session of the Legislature do
not prove unusually interesting. Many
young and able members have been return
ed and these will have their views and
schemes to introduce and advocate. So far
rs this County is concerned, notice has
been given Of more special legislation to
be asked for than for many years before.
We shall endeavor to keep our readers
informed OF all matters of interest. which
arise. particularly those matters which eff
feet the County of Hancock; and TO this
end. we have secured the services of an in
telligent correspondent, whose letters from
the Capitol will appear weekly. and will
be read with pleasure and profit. The first
of this series OF letters will be found in the
present issue in another column.

General Butler, says the Chicago Inter-
cream. finds way ont OF almost every
difficulty. At the late choice of seats in
the House he was thrown on the Demo
cratic side, IN the very midst Of the enemy.
The Massachusetts member smiled sweet
ly, took all jokes good naturally, and set
tied himself with a charming air Of con
tentment. Between the adjoul ment, how
ever, and the assembling of the House the
following day, the interchangeable Ben had
executed a grand coup 3e main by exchang-
Ing seats with a colored member, and when
the Speakers gavel called the House to
order the next morning, there was the
somber shadow of the Fifteenth Amend
ment lowering from the very center OF the
Democratic stronghold. The House
chuckled Butler looked innocent, and the
Democrats gesticulated excitedly, and
wanted to know If social equality was TO be
forced upon them, and their daughters
compelled TO marry, etc, etc. but the son
OF Africa ilinched not, aud to-day from out
that spotlcss crowd of Anglo SaXons there
looms kinky-head and charcoal face,
aud the freedman speaks from a Demo
cratic standpoint! The spectacle would
make n good subject for a painting and

As 1t was not supposed that the CASTELAR,
Government would be OF long continu-

lavia excited much surprise In diplomatic

when would occasion even suspicion of
such movement on his part. Specula.
tons are freely expressed as TO the future.
ana the general opinion Is that the Repub-
ilcan cause has been damaged by the late
~ reported revolutionary proceedings, but
the official Information thus far received Is
OF so meagre character as to afford no
basis for reliable comment. The CASTELAR,
Government had during the virginius ne
COLLATION. repeatedly declared not only its
friendliness toward the United States, but
ITS desire to draw still closer the relations
OF the two countries. and our Government
evinced like amicable feeling toward
Spain, even taking the negotiations out of
the hands of Gen. Sickles In order to be in
better accord with the CASTELAR, Govern
ment. The friends of that Government In
Congressional and Executive circles re-
gard the recent events In Spain as likely to
delay the promised reforms in the Antilles.

An old subscriber, formerly OF Hancock
County, but now resident Of Haywood
California, in renewing his subscription
writes that the past year in that State has
been prosperous-the crops of grain have
been large and prices renumeratiye. Min
ing for several months was slack owing TO
lack of water but lately large amount OF
gold and silver has been taken from the
mines OF California and Nevada. Stock
raising has been rather Improbable from
the low prices which have ruled for sheep,
cattle and horses. The late heavy rains
and SHOWS in the Northern parts Of the
state have caused serious losses of cattle
and sheep. Our friend concludes thus.

Congress re-assembled Monday. A
large amount OF business was introduced
in both branches. The Senate took up the
salary grab question, under the form of a

be acted upon soon. 1t is now thought
the senate may vote a clean repeal, ana
that the House will concur. So much Tor

AT Skowhegan Wednesday, ex-Gov.
Coburn turned over the new court house
which he has built to the County Commits
sioners, which was formally accepted, and
his bond to the county abolished. The
building has cost about e50, 900 and is equal
10 any In the State. In its building and
furnishing Gov. Coburn has exceeded the
requirements Of his agreement in many
respects, evidently desiring to leave moth
ing undone. The action has closed the
doors to any adverse action on the part of
the County Commissioners, whose senti.
ment on the court house question, will be
TO Skowhegan after the or
ganizati0n Of the board.
