cases" in Penobscot county, and the Portland
liquor agency case in Cumberland county. The
former case has been elaborately argued
The latter case involved the question of the au-
thoriy of the Mayor to nominate Liquor Agent
No decision has been rendered in either case,
1t is evident from tables which the Attorney
General presents, that County Attorneys through
out the State are busy in the enforcement of the
laws. The great bulk Of prosecutions are for vio-
lations Of the liquor law, which in his judgment
is enforced>as faithfully and diligently as any
other statute. The great proportion Of convic-
tions over scquittals in the counties, and the
trhng number of adverse decisions in the law
court--less than half dozen thus far,-show the
faithfuness Of the County Attorneys. They have
also rendered the State most valuable service be-
fore the law court. The Attorney General thinks
it important that the County Attorneys should at
tend the law court in person, ard assist in the
prosecutions Of cases from the r county, and that
the expense be paid by the State.
The County Tressurers in many cases have fail
cd to make their proper returns. This disobedi-
ence has become quite common, and the Attor.
ney General recommends penalty.
The following table shows the amount of fines
and costs imposed as penalties, the amount col
lecled, and the costs OF prosecutions in each
county, including costs before agistrs.es as al

| hour.
The Senate resumed the consideration of the
| resolution of MITCHELL authorizing an investigs-
| ton into the appointment of Cronn as presiden-
tlal eiector IN Oregon; and MaSey of Texas
| spoke at length.
The chair appointed as special committee of
the senate authorized ty the recent resolution of
Mr.. Edmunds to devise means for proper count
of the vote of president and vice president in con-
nection with similar committee of the house,
Messrs. Edmunds, Morton, Frelinghuysen, Lo-
gan, Thurman, Bayard and Ransom.
On motion of Mr.. Davis, business was suspend

Journed.
House..
The resolution offered by Plat for q select
committee to investigate the charge made yester-
day by Hewitt, that his letters have been tam
pc ed with in the New York postofice. In con-
nectIon with the resolution he sent to the clerks
desk and had read telegram from postmaster
James, pronouncing the accusation utterly and
absolutely false.
The House refused to lay Hewitt's charge
against New York post office on the table, and in
structed the committee now in New York to in
vestigate the case.
The following bills were introduced and re-
ferred.
BY Mr. Willis of New York, providing for tho
organization of the navy during peace.
by Mr.. Landers of CT, making an appropra-
ton for continuing the construction of the post
office and custom house at Hartford.
Mr.. Knott Of Ky, submitted resolution d.
recting that Barnes, the recusant witness be
rested and brought before the bar of the house
for contempt.
Objection was made to allowing time to discuss
the resolution.
A compromise was finally eff cted, by which an
hours discussion was provided for, and Mr.. Gar
field of Ohio spoke against the resolution, on the
ground, principally, that the house was not JUST
tied in treating telegraphic communication as an
official report
Mr.. McCrary desired to meet fairly and square
ly the important questions whether telegraph
companies can be required to produce the cores
pondence Of citizens without the committee hav-
ing il any testimony that any dispatches and ma
terial in nqiry are in the hands of tho telegraph
companies.
A vote was taken and the resolution adopted
without division.
Eulogies were pronounced in memory of the
late Senator Carpenter of West Virginia.

appropriate remarks were made, after which the
House adjourned.

We learn that Mr.. J. A. Simpson of this city,
proposes TO prepare skating rink on the river, in
order to give ladies and gentlemen, young and
old, an opportunity for heahful recreation and
exercise on rational and scientific principles. An
area of about couple of acres will be scraped
upon the ice, ard if Necessary flowed to make il
| a perfect mirror. A high board fence will enclose
the space to protect skatists from bleak winds as
also TO prevent the drifting Of snow as well to
secure the rights and comfort of all concerned
Tickets at reasonable price, will probably be is
sued to individuals and families, for the season or
a limited period, and a small admission fee requir-
ed to detray the expense of the project There
has been no good skating upon the river thus far
this season, and our skating community will un-
doubedly appreciate the energy and enterprise oi
Mr.. Simpson, and beslow upon him that patron
age so Justly deserved. All recollect with pleas
ure the success of last years skating season, when
hundreds participated in the eXharating and in
vigorating exercises of the occasion.
Mr.. B. N. Thomas has recently finished store
in his stable at the foot of Winthrop street, oc-
| cupying the first floor of the south end of the
building.
City Marshal Young proposes to enforce the or
dinance of the city requiring owners of property
on our streets to keep the sidewalk adj .ceut free
from snow during the winter.
The members Of the Episcopal church and So
ciety in this city are trimming their church US
ual, preparatory to Christmas. Services on Mon

the rector, Rev. Hudson Sawyer.
We learn that our city schools are to have va
cation next week, during the Christmas holidays
Roberts charcoal sketch" on exhibition for the
Christmas season, attracts considerable attention.
The artist should not bury his talent in the earth,
nor under snow bank.
The Messrs. Dingley, have commenced clearing
the from the river ice prepsi atory to secur-
ing their annual crop for city use. A foot or
more of snow makes the task of scraping rether
formidable.
The conservative effect" of seat on an icy
sidewalk cannot fail to be appreciated by the
trail subject of the exhibition. Spectators may
consider the spectacle amusing, and one to excite
mirthfulness. Let them try it once, and they will
"know how it is themselves"
Plenty Of snow and bright moon will serve to
make Christmas merry one to seghing parties
this year.
