death part thee and me."-Ruth l. 10th,
and 18th, verses. The speech closed with
great applause and congratulations poured
In from all sides upon the member who
had SO nOhly spoken for his people. and
proved himself a worthy champion OF their
rights.
Other members spoke upon the bill. but
the next day Gen. Butler unaheathed his
sword for the conflict. aud did good service
as he always does whenever he takes part.
His doctrine ofequality is that erery man

tunity Of proving himself such under the
constitution and the law. lie did full
justice to the colored people and placed
himself boldly OH the side of the bill.
Time fails TO give even an abstract of his
remarks, but he did good work for the
cause. and gave due honor TO Mr.. Elliott

course, the bill will have to be discussed
again. but the talk is over for the present,
aud little space given for other matters.
The Senate has occupied its time In dis
cussng the Salary Bill with its pros and
cons, but the grave Senators seem to labor
under a chronic difficulty of deciding how
try, and how much is due them asc ompe,-
sation, or. If they do not have the increas-
eel salary, whether the President aud other
officials shall have theirs; this. with dis
cussion on the Bankrupt Law, has been
the subject of their deliberations Tor the
week. till one given to mathematical calcu-
laiions might be tempted to consider how
much the time spent In consideration Of
this measure last winter, and now by both
Houses has already cost the nation, and
ii 1t is not about time to talk of some other
matter.
The long unsettled question of the Chief
Justiceship is in a fair way OF being de-
cided by the sudden nomination OF Hon.
Caleb Gushing for the vacant position.
The withdrawal of Attorney General
Williams extricated all parties from dis
agreeable situation, and paves the way for

republics are un.rateful.'

THURSDAY. JANUARY Is. 1874.
Gov. Dingley's Message.

As a citizen of Maine, we lay before our
readers with pleasure and pride. the aa-
mirable address Of our new Governor.
With singular unanimity the Press.o of the
New England States, has concurred as to
its merits and the opinions therein ex-
pressed; and perhaps none has given 1t
higher praise than some Of the Democratic
papers of our own State.
Rigidly abstaining from..all discussion
of a political character, and scarcely al
hiding to national themes. Gov. Dingley
confines himself to the interests of Maine.
In these, he finds ample scope for his facile
and graceful pen. With full knowledge
of his subject, he most happily treats or
the laws. the finances, the industries. the
enterprises. the capabilities. educational,
charitable and refornatory institutions of
his native State. and at the same time, he
does not forget to remember her noble
sons who lost or periled life, that the
nation might live, nor their DESCENDANTS
who have claim on n grateful country.
Most wildly, in his closing paragraphs,
does he portray 1.-THE present and future OF
Maine" when her magnificent resources
shall be fully developed, and involuntarily
a feeling of pride and patriotism will be
awakened in the breast OF the reader who
claims the Pine Tree State as the home Of
his birth.
There may be some who will differ FROM
Il sentiment here and there expressed. but
none will doubt the honesty and singleness
of purpose of the author. Neither will he
be called fanatic nor a radical, for while
stating his views clearly and forclbly, they
bear the impress OF sincerity. and go not a
jot beyond those of the most conservative
reformers of the day.
10 all, we commend the perusal of this
valuable paper. believing that they will
find it interesting and instructive, and that
it will be an hour well spent.

merely 10 look at this book It. handsome
binding, clear type, and firm. smooth paper
are gratifying to the eye; and the excellence
which they suggest, is not Elusive. The COM
pliers have made admirable selection, in re-
srect both to hymns and TO music. 1t IS pub
lished in two forms one, hymn and tune edi-
ton; AMI the other, conta lining the HYMNS
alone. Its special merits will be seen from the
following particulars
/. II contains 1883 Of the choicest HYMNS In
the language, and D doXologies, N every va
riety Of metre with the authors name attach
ed to each, $50 far as known and the date Of
its first publication.
.. The Music, provided and arranged for
congregational singing, is admirably adapted to
the object, embracing the good old standard
tunes, and a great variety of new and popular
ones, by the best American, English, and Ger
man authors.
j. There IS 4 choice selection foccupyng IS
pages Of Scripture and Chants for chanting.
4. The music is so arranged that there are
generally two or more tunes az each opening
and where one less known appears, familiar
one accompanies ii.
). The numbering Of the HYMNS, In the diff
fereni editions, corresponds,-a very important
consideration.
.. The type Of the hymns and the music is
remarkably clear, and the page open and At
tractive.
!. The indexes, of which there are six are
unusually full clear, and systematically arrany-
ed.
The price, considering the character OF
the work, and its superior mechanical execu.
ton, Is lower than that Of any other in the
market.
1t only remains to be said that these commen-
dations are confirmed by the fiattering opin-
ions OF many professors, pastors, and choir
leaders; and by the action of many churches
that have discarded otkar ne,o books already

THE HANCOCK DELEGATION.
A brief personnel Of your Representative

Of readable interest to your county pa
irons. Eleven in number constitute the
sum total Of Hancock's share Of the ssmodi-
fed descendants" in Legislature asseus-

from Penobscot. The member from
Surry. and the me nber from Brooks ville,

THE JOINT STANDING COMMITTEES.
OF these, there are 25. each, having
3 Senate and : House members. Their
make up" involves a deal of thought aud
discrimination. The chief struggle dog

LEGISLATION.
From the present outlook. very much
Of the legislation desired. Is of special,
or private character. An unusual mount
OF these classes of Legislation is petitioned
for, bv Hancock county. Some way
should be devised, to rid the Legislature
of such petty matters. Until after the
joint committees have beer, appointed,
that "make-way" step for petitions one
cannot see what is expected In "our line.

Judge Poland has also introduced a bill
TO help the surviving soldiers Of the war of

who turued out to repel invasion by the
British army from the north, who were not

ed their patriotism as well as those who
were Several years ago a law Of Congress
