THE EASTERN RAILROAD.

The committee of bondholders and the directors
Of the road are progressing toward plan which
promises to bring relief to all parties interested
pecuniarily in the stock or bonds of this unfortu-
nate and much mismanaged road. The plan now
under consideration is mortgage of the entire
road, and the issue Of bonds bearing graduating
scale of interest for term of years, say three per
cent. per annum tor three years. four per cent for
second period, and so on. The value Of the
stock Of course will depend npon the net earnings,
but it will not be worthless for it will have pro-
spectivc chance of becoming valuable. II the
road should be forced into bankruptcy the stock
would be wiped cut. The Legislature win be
asked to grant necessary powers TO carry out this
plan, which is approved by all the largest holders
Of bonds .-Bostoa journal.

The Fifty-fifth legislature Of our good
State Of Maine assemblies and organizes
to-day. Except the usual stir about the

excitement. As the session progresses
matters of importance may come up for
action. but at present the appearance is
that business will not be very pressing

iutimated by the New York World, in a
paragraph copied elsewhere in this paper,
that the democrats intend to devote them
selves largely to preparing at this session
for the politica! campaign next summer.
However the World received its knowl.
edge VIC can tell how far it is true as the
session advances. For several years past
the democratic side of the legislature has
opposed the introduction of partizan poll.

ture" it will oblige the republicans to gov
ern themselves accordingly. We hope the
