The Attorney Generals Report r.
AUGUSTA, Dec. 31.-Attorney General Plas'
ted has submitted bis annual report to the Gov
ernor and Council for 1874. Five capital cases
have been tried, resulting in four convictions
and one acquittal on the plea of insanity. One

ing to the death of juror. Four men are now
10 custody charged with capital offencss, await
ing the action of the grand jury.
He recommends amending the law regulat-
ing challenge in capital eases so that the state
may have the same rights as the accused. The
repeal of the statutes prohibiting any man sit
ting in capital cases who cannot conscientious
Iy find verdict punishable by death penalty.

TRANSFORMATION of Goods in Bond.
WASHINGTON, Dec 31.-The matter of trans
portation of goods in bond from Canada to the
United States, as well as of domestic goods
passing through Canada in transit, having been
fully discussed by Treasury officials, including
ex.Gov. Washburn of Maine, on the part of
the government, and j. d. Hayes on the part
of the various railways, mutual understand
ing has been developed, that no smuggling in
the cars has been carried on to any extent and
the interests OF the are identical with that of
railways The fact that the entire traffic de-
ponds upon their good faith with the govern
ment, and that every employe understands his
position to depends on his fidelity to the com
pany's interest renders smuggling in cars next
to an impossibility, and, therefore, the govern
ment will relax its stringent orders, and the
traffic will continue without any further inter-
ruption other than what the safety of the de-
partment demands.

The Hawaiian LOnu:
In an interview with King Kalakaua last
night alluson was made to a report that the
$1000,000 loan, recently authorized by the
Hawaiian Parliament had been offered to New
Zealand, in case purchasers of the bonds could
not be found in the United States. The King
said no such overtures to the New Zealand
government have been made, and it is not be-
lieved that any foreign government other than
the Hawaiian kingdom. No commissioners to
negotiate the loan have yet been appointed.
With these exceptions the report is correct, ex-
cept that the distress among the sugar planters,
for whoseIbeneft principally the loan is pro-
posed, has been greatly exaggerated. These
bonds will run for thirty years and bear an in
terest of Z per cent.

BANGOR, Dec. Goth, 1874.
To the Editor Of the Press:
Your announcement that Judge Peters has
consented to be candidate for the Senator
ship is greeted with general applause by the
young Republicans Of Bangor, and l am conf
dent that if the matter could be put to vote
to-day in Penobseot county, he would be the
candidate of the county. What we can do in
support of the Judge we shall do with all our
might. The Wing says this morning that it
shall be surprised if Mr.. Peters gets more than
one vote from Penobscot county. If he does
not then our Senators and Representatives will
in no sense be representatives of those who
elected them.
Our motto is not as the Wing says, "Any-
thing to beat Hamln," but it is "Peters in
preference to Hamlin every day in the week.
Trusting that Mr.. Peters is the coming man,
l am yours,
