recommendations in regard to resump-
ton has been drafted, and will be pre-
sented to Congress.
THE "blue glass" epidemic has broken
out in Detroit and at several points in
Michigan, and is engaging the attention
of many intelligent investigators.
Ii is stated that Senator Christiancy, of
Michigan, will be rendered the position
on the United States Supreme Court
made vacant by the resignation of Judge
Davis.
ACCORDING to the report of the Com
missioners of Patents 17,026 patents
were issued in 1876, against 162SS in
1875, and 1888 in 1874. There were
registered during the year 1876, $50 trade
marks, and 4O2 labels.
A BILL was introduced in the House ut
Washington, Thursday of last week, au-
th0rizing the establishment of commits
sion for scientific exploration of the
northern states of Mexico and the terri
tory of the United States adjoining the
same.
The Democrats are now bowling
about the unfairness of the compromise
bill. Well. who voted for it? The vote
on the bill i'm the two Houses stood 1S4
Democrats and "a Republicans for the
measure, and Is Democrats and So Re-
publicans against it.
1T now appears that David Dudley
Field and John G. Thompson were afraid
of the pistol in Governor Wells trunk.
The Governor, it is stated, never appear
ed before the committee with arms on
his person. But man is dangerous
who has a pistol i'm his trunk. 1t gives
an INSCRIPTIONS Democrat like Thomp-
son an excuse to go through his personal
baggage.
I MALL NAhI En- DCSsoth litS al
ment before the electoral count commits
sion by saying that he did not appear as
counsel for Samuel j. Tilden-he appear
ed as counsel for ten thousand disfran-
chised citizens of Louisiana. Matt. is a
sly dog. Those ten thousand Louisiana
customers he appears for are spelled with
dollar mark before them. thus: 81 ap-
pear for $4,000 disfranchised citizens OF
Louisiana" That is reported to be ex-
actly the size of it.
THE cipher dispatches proving beyond
any question that Tilden and his agents
did use, and did attempt to use. money
in Oregon for the purpose of bribery
and corruption, are now before the pub
lie. Now Senator Herman, only few
days ago, declared as a Senator that
''there never was suggestion that
money should be used for improper pur-
poses in Oregon" Senator Herman is
one of Tilden's cODfidants, and one Of the
Democratic leaders in New York, and a
distinguished member of the Roman
Catholic church, and head center Irish
Democrat, etc. Now, if any hasty pub
lie journal, impatient against falsehood
should insinuate that Senator Kernon
was shameless liar i'm that remark, prob
ably some of the classes he represents
would become swearing mad. There
fore it would be better, perhaps. to mild
ly remark that Mr.. Herman was willfully
mistaken.

MAY CIVIL TERM, 1877-sYMoNDS, j., PRESID-
ING.
FRIDAY.-Cornelus E. Driscoll VS.. Michael Lee,
Dennis Donovan, Martin Kavanaugh, James Kay =
anaugh, John Sullivan. Jr., end VIM. H. Tanner.
Trespass for personal assault the night of December
16. 1876.
The account of the affair as given by plaintiff and
his witnesses is substantially as follows: On the
evening of December 14th, because Of some unpeas-
antness in Swaseys billiard room, defendant, Suli-
van, who there with the other defendants, said
to Driscoll, 81 will fix you before month is over
your heal.' Two evenings afterwards while Dris-
coll, with others. was playing pool defendant, Dono-
van comes in, looks at Driscoll and leaves the
loon. Soon after that Donovan and the other de.
PENDANTS entered the saloon, but didn't speak to
Driscoll. Sullivan and Lee passed out ahead Of
Driscoll. Dr,coll left the saloon and had gone
few steps above the stairs leading up State street
from the foot OF Commercial street, and there stood
Sullivan and Lee the foot bridge Sullivan struck
Driseol over the eye with something harder than a
fist. Lea then struck Driscol on the lip and forced
tooth through the lip and bit Driscols hand Sui
livan got hold of DriscolPs coat and tore it. The
three went down over the steps together, and as
they were so doing, Martin Kayanaugh pushed
Driscoll and sang out "gve it to the bastard, Jack
give it to the son of a b-h." Donovan and James
Kavanaugh tried to hit Drscol, but the blows were
warded off. Turner was with the other defendants.
Driscoll freed himself and ran for policeman, Sui
Ivan following him some distance. Policeman Har-
3 mon was found, but he advised Driscoll to delay
making the arrest till Monday, when he could pro.
cure warrants.
The defense is that Martin Kavanaugh, Donovan
James Kavanaugh and Turner took part in the
fight; that the fight was between Sullivan and Dris.
coll, mutual coming together, each striking at the
same time; that Lee attempted to separate the two
got blow from Drscoll and gave Driscol enc in
turn. Evidence and arguments closed.

goodbye for his new home in Newton, Mass
and much as we knew he would be missed in
Augusta by the multitude of friends to whom
he had endeared himself, and by the schools he
had so long and affectonately superintended,
still 1T seemed that we at the State House would
most regret his abse5ce. We had seen him
almost every day for long periods of time, dur.
ing the years of bis official life among us. With
us he was personal power, of more vitality
: than his printed reports or public labors among
conventions and institutes. To US he was as
a brother, honored and beloved; cordial
friend, charming companion. Talented, wit
ty, appreciatve, sympathetic, his presence was
always welcomed, for bis was not an austere
ana arrogant nature, though few, if any. held
higher position, officially as we'll as in the
minds of the people. His nature was diffusive,
sunny; man one could feel lat home with,
and whose influence was always in the direc-
ti0n of higher standard of life. broader view
of its responsibilities and of the significance of
truth and error.
Although professedly Congreg atonalst, be
could not accept every dogma OF that church,
and what he did accept was so subjected to the
searching test of his logical mind as to be only
modification of the original doctrine.
He bent his energies to the uprootng of time
worn errors in systems of religious belief, not
less earnestly than in systems of education.
Every faculty of heart, mind and brain was
intensely alive. AS his pastor, the Rev. Mr..
Ecob, remarked at his foner ,-"When you
did but shake hands with him, you could feel
the very heart beating through all the muscles,
so full of vitality was he.'' :.
But all this vitality did not suffice to parry
the blow of the Great Destroyer, and Warren
Johnson's powerful voice and pen are silenced
forever. Init the WY, II ba hos for ~
cause of popular education remains as a mon.

A Fine Residence

Portland justly prides herself upon her fine
residences, and the number is constantly in
creasing. Display is not so much sought for as
comfort and convenience. Yesterday our re-
porter was shown the new residence of 81. NJ.
Payson, Esq, on the corner of State aud Deer
ing streets, which is just completed. This is a
worthy addition to the many fine residences
erected in the city. To commence With, the
site is one of the best to be found being healthy
and commanding a fine view of two of the
principal streets. The house is of brick, forty
by forty-four feet, three stories high, with an
ell twenty-five by twenty-four feet and two
stories high. 1t has been built with great care,
and under the supervision of Mr.. Fassett, the
architect, and Mr.. Payson, the owner. 1t is
finished nearly throughout with hard wood,
the parlor alone being finished 10 white pine,
with black walnut DOORS The parlor, with the
library 10 the rear, takes up the entire right
hand side. On the left hand side is a cheerful
sitting room, ard one of the fnest dining rooms
in the city. The latter is finished in black wal
nut, and is frescoed in Schumacher's best style.
The sitting room and the entire second story is
finished in butternut This wood has not been
used in finishing for some time, but is now all
the rage. The front hall and stair cases, from
the bottom to the top, are finished IN rich look
ing black walnut. In the third story there is
pleasant billiard room. The ell is finished in
Southern pine wholly, and it is arranged with
special attention to the purpose for which it is
to be used. There is a refrigerator built in the
side of the pantry, of good, comfortable size,
and it is surrounded with all modern conven
fences. Every door in the house is veneered, SO
as to correspond with the finish of the rooms
on either side. Although the entire house is
heated by steam, there is a fire place for an
open fire In nearly every room. They are sur
mounted by handsome mantels Of Italian,
French and Tennessee marble. The cellar is
conveniently arranged, and, contains large
boiler for heating the house and furnishing the
several rooms with hot water. In one end is a
wash room, filled up with every convenience
desired. In short the house is just what it
would be expected Mr.. Payson would erect for
residence. He pays the builders handsome
compliment when he says that the work has
bsen done to his entire satisfaction. 1t was
built almost entirely by Portland mechanics
and is job for them to be proud Of Mr..
Fassett furnished the plans, and the fine brick
work was done by Messrs. Green & Jordan,
well known masons in the city. The carpenter
work is. by Spencer Rogers, who has built some
of the finest houses in Portland; but on none
of them has he excelled his work upon this
Mr.. Galley did the plastering, Schumacher the
frescoing, j. Fl. Bond & Co. the plumbing, D.
G. Drinkwater the painting, Scott & Newman
furnished the metal, Loring & Crossman did
the STATING and Walworth &, 10 of Roaton
furnished the steam heating apparatus.

THE OBSTRUCTION CAsE.-The police court
was crowded yesterday morning, to listen to
the case of obstructing the sidewalks. Kelly,
the cause of all the trouble, was seated in the
prisoners box. He plead guilty to being drunk
and making disturbance on the previous day,
and was sent to Jail for thirty Gays. Then
Charles P. Knapp and Mr.. Holden were ar
raigned, charged with obstructing the sidewalk.
They pleaded not guilty, and Nathan Webb, Esq.
appeared for them. The prosecution was con-
Quoted by Marshal Bridges. There was large
number of witnesses called on each side, and
the testimony was very conflicting. After the
testimony was all in, Mr.. Webb made an able
argument for his clients, but the judge consid-
cred Mr.. Knapp guilty, and fined him five dol
lars and costs, while Mr.. Holden was dis
charged
