THE PRoHIBIroRY LAw.-There seems to be
a difference of opinion in regard to the alleged
fatal defect in the prohibitory law. Some of
our leading lawyers think that the law is as
binding as ever, while others hold the contrary
opinion, arguing that sectiops and OF the
public laws of 1872, repealed sections q and %
of chapter q of the revised statutes aud that
chapter $50 Of the public laws of 1873 having
repealed sections 2 and Of the public laws Of
1872, and having revived section % of chapter
q only, left section % repealed, so that there
is really no 22d section, forbidding the sale of
liqucr. Others contend that only the amending
clauses are repealed. The defect in question
only affects the statute relative to single sales,
tipping shops and search and seizures. The
common seller is still liable.
Those who are under indictment or who have
paid fines have been very busy interviewing
counsel, but don't seem to have obtained much
consolation

The Reunion of the Gallant seventh.


Yesterday was far from being proptious DAY,
but, despite the elements, about fifty members
of the gallant Seventh Maine assembled in
Portland at Army & Navy Hall, and many
were the congratulations and memories revived
of times gone by. The old Seventh was well
represented. Gems. Conner, Hyde, Maj. Chan
ming, Nickerson, Cochrane, and host of other
well known veterans answered to the call.
From Army & Navy Hall move was made to
the Grand Army Hall, where bounteous colt
lation was served, and from thence to Custom
House Wharf, where the steamer Gazelle was
in readiness 70 convey them to their port of
observation-disclosures Island On arriving at the
island move was made to SCOTS hall, where
business meeting was held and an organiza-
ton perfected for the ensuing year. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: Selden Conner,
President; J. W. Charming, A. NJ Benson,
Jas. Phair, Vice-Presidents; A. A. Nick erson,
Secretary and Treasurer; F. M. Eveleth, Sur
geon; Colomore Purington, Chaplain,
On motion of Gen. Hyde, Col. w. FL. Long
of Boston, Maj. j. F. Sanger, U. S. A., Moses
Owen and w. o. Fox were elected honorary
members
1t was voted to have an Grafton and poem at
the next reunion, and Capt. G. P. Cochrane of
Augusta was chosen Orator and Historian, and
Moses Owen, Poet.
After the meeting clam bake was served by
Capt. Jos. Perry, and the falling rain seemed
in no way to diminish the appetites of the
assembled party. But all things must have an
end, and homeward move was made in the
direction of the boat, where, for the space Of an
hour or more, a pleasant meeting occurred, and
the gallant Conner, in soul-strring speech,
recounted the valor of the regiment, followed
by Gen. Hyde, who, in his modest way. told a
soldiers story; and the best of all chaplains,
Purington, again addressed his comrades.
Maj. w. FL. Long of Boston, being called
upon, made some telling remarks which were
heartily applauded, and when the Gazelle
reached the wharf at Portland, the time
seemed too short.
Too much credit cannot be given to the indie
fatigable exertions of Maj. A. A. Nickerson to
make this-the first reunion-the success it
proved, and when the members separated to
meet again, many were the kindly thoughts
that went with them, and many the hopes that
centred in the next reunion of the old Seventh

held and constituted, and nominations are
made III accordance with party usage, we
are always willing to support the nomi-
uoes, whether they were our first choice
or otherwise. This is the only true aud
correct policy for all party meu to pursue,
1t is important now that this rule should
be faithfully observed. We belong to
what is known as tho Democratic and Con-
servative party, and within the folds of
this party we are willing to recognize all
men who have heretofore opposed Radical

this section, in political, sense, is FRESH

AS tho candidates are now before the
pohple, the campaign may be couSid-
cred as frirly begun. Therefore, We dc.
sire tosay to the Democrats and Conserv-
asiyes Of Mason County that they must
organize for the coUaict. Whatever
may have been our personal preferences
before the convention it is our duty now
give an active support to our nominees.
They arc not only gentlemen Of strict in.
tcgrity, but are systematic business men,
who, if elected, would be governed in their
Legislative conduct by the highest consid.
erations Of duty to their constituents, as
we'll as to the whole State, Being ident-

readily understand their wants and appro-
ciate them accordingly
