The report was accepted, and Abner Coburn,
Noah Woods F. w. HILL Darius Alden, N. NJ.
Whitnore, Arthur Sewall, William G.. Davis,
Frank Jones, James W. Johnson, James p. Cook,
John Woodbridge, John Cummings, and George
L. Ward were declared to be duly elected directors
for the ensuing year.
Col Alden offered the following resolve, which
was unanimously adopted.
Resoleed, That the Hon. Arson p. Morrill, by
his untiring energy, zeal and fidelity in the dis
charge of the duties of President of this corpora
ton, and by the able, vigilant and economical ad-
minisration of its affairs, has secured for himself
a title to the respect and the heartest thanks Of
the stockholders, which they tender to him with
the expression of their wishes for bis continued
strength and happiness.
The meeting then adjourned.
The large vote thrown for Messrs. Cobufn,
Alden and Jones, is accounted for by the fact that
the names of these gentlemen were on both tick
etc. Indeed it is thought that the placing of two
firm friends of the Maine Central alden and Co.
burn) on the ticket of the Eastern managers, was
the olive branch of peace, that prevented the fight
so long predicted, and stayed the storm Of wrath
and virtuous Indignation.
The names of the old members Of the board
who are dropped, Arson ?. Morrill,, J. b.
Brown, Lewis Pierce, Lysander Strickland, Geo.
NJ. Patten, and 7. X. Lothrop.
Immediately after the meeting of the stochhold-
ers a meeting Of the board Of directors was held
for the purpose of organization, and the following
officers unanimously elected
President-Abner Coburn.
Vice -President-John Woodbridge.
Cicrk-Josiah II. Drnmmond.
Thus the affairs of the Maine Central pass in
to the hands of the managers Of foreign corpor-
atom, and however chagrined they may feel Gin
side" the defeated stockholders at the meeting
yesterday submitted with good grace. 1t i. GER
tany gratifying to them that the Hon. Abner Co.
burn has been selected as President, man of
large experience, sterling good sense, and great
judgment. While he is at the helm, and should
his health ald strength prove equal to the
undertaking, the interests Of the stockholders
and the people of Maine will be protected.
Hints are thrown out that Edwin Noyes is to
be made General Superintendent, that there
is to be general overhaulng and turning
out of officers, and an entire change of policy in
the administration of the affairs of the road But
we are assured by those largely interested fnan-
cially that the board is to continue the present
policy and if any change is made it will be in the
interests of the people Of Maine, as upon them
the corporation depends for its business.

MATTERS AT THE STATE HOUSE.
Wagner and Gordon again Reprieved--
The L.. d n. A. R. Land Case.

The Governor and Council yesterday granted
reprieve in the cases of Wagner and Gordon, until
the last Friday in June, on the application of
Judge Taplcy, the prisoners counsel. Judge Nir-
gin, in deciding adversely on the recent applica-
ton of the prisoners, granted bill Of exceptions
which will ~ argued before the full court to be
held in this city on the third Tuesday of May
For this reason the reprieve has been granted.
The land controversy with the L. & n. A. Rail
way is in fair way Of being adjusted. The title
of lands granted by the State to this railway have
in several cases been settled by the court. But the
title to few Of the townships remain as yet I'M
settled. The matter was before the Governor and
Council yesterday afternoon, Hon. A. W. Paine
of Bangor appearing for the State, and Hon. {. P
Stetson for the company. After hearing occu
plying nearly all the afternoon, both parties agreed
to terms, which will be submitted to the company
for their acceptance, and thus the matter being
adjusted amicably, without resort to the courts
The proposition is that the title Of the State in
all the lands in controversy is to remain in the
State each party to retain the money they have
received for stumpage. This leaves these public
domains, involving some $1,000 acres, in the pos
session of the State, and allows the railway com.
pany to retain the money they have received for
sumpage, amounting to some $4,000. Mr.. Stet
son went to Bangor last evening to submit the
proposition to the company, and their decision is
expected to-day. 1t is thought that it will be &C.
| ceptcd, and this question disposed of.
The Council will adjourn on Friday.
