BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

THIS mornings Journal contains bio
graphical sketches Of nearly every MEM
Der of the Senate and House. They have
been prepared with the greatest care and
as accurately as possible by Mr.. Howard
Owen. ono of the editors of this paper, at
an expense of much perplexing labor.
We are very sure that the work will COM
mend itself TO the members OF the legisla-
ture Immediately interested, also to the
public who desire TO know what they can
about their representatives at the Capitol.
Former members OF the Legislature lament
the immortality which they lose by hay
ing served their period at the State House
before the plan of publishing sketches
was introduced; we advise them not to
mourn, but TO come back again as men,
bcrs and secure IA niche in some future
number of our biographies. The sketch
es" are not, however, chiefly valuable for
the immortality" which they confer upon
the names of members. They are valua-
BILE for reference, as well of for making
members acquainted with each other.
We have no doubt that they will hereafter
be continued as an almost indispensable
work in connection with the legislature.
We have limited edition prepared in
pamphlet form, in very neat shape for
preservation.

ORGANIZATION OF THE LEGIS-
LATT1RE.

The organization of the legislature eff
fected yesterday gives good satisfac-
ton. For Speaker Of the House Mr..
Thomas was the unanimous choice of the
republicans, no candidate of that party APP
pearing against him. Mr.. Thomas is
known throughout the State by his con-
nexion, as Commissioner of immigration,
with the Swedish colony in Aroostook
which was planted and has succeeded
mainly by his efforts. He was member
of the last legislature, in which his apti-
tude for presiding over that body became
so marked that his election as Speaker
this year was assured as soon AS he be-
came candidate. The election of Mr.
Chadbourne as Clerk secures the services
of competent. experienced and faithful
officer, in a place where those qualities
are especially needed. With Mr.. Thomas
in the Speakers chair and Mr.. Chadbourne
at the clerk desk. there need be no con-
Germ that business will not be properly at
tended to. Mr.. Smith, the Assistant Clerk,
is new to his place, but has the capacity
for good officer; and Mr. Walker as
Messenger is without rival.
In the Senate Mr.. Butler will preside with
case and ability. lie had n worthy com
petitor in Mr.. Burgess of Portland Mr..
Butler is known rs editor and proprietor
of the Biddeford Journal, and as leader
in the politics of York county, and mem
Der of the Bar. Having been a member
of the Senate last winter he is familiar
with the duties required of Il presiding
officer, and WILL we have no doubt, be
popular and efficient. Mr.. Lane s re-elec.
ton as Secretary fills an important post adj
mirably. Mr.. Danfonh as Assistant, is
without experience, but will soon learn
his duties and Mr.. Banks as Messenger
makes it certain that promptness and
faithlulness will be found in the place
which he fills.
The subordinate places to which we
have not referred are undoubtedly vel
supplied. AS whole the organization
promises well. The members may con.
graduate themselves upon the harmony
with which ii has been effected Much
depends upon the organization.
