Dear Sir -
Your note of this date is received, in which
you inquire if we "claim to have executed
the engrossing for the State for the year 1878
under the contract for executing the State
printing" In reply we have TO say that the
N'"'i"' i"'h'ui itIulIeu anu SUN requires,
us to do all the printing for which the State
Is held to pay, except such as is otherwise
provided for by the revised statutes. The
class Of printing termed engrossing came I'M
der the contract of 1878 land also under all
preceding contracts for State printing with
which we have had anything to do, } and was
paid for by the State under the contract from
the appropriation for State printing.
We are. very truly,
Your obi Servants,
SrRAGuE, OWEN & NASH.
Mr.. Thompson of Knox proceeded to state
that in looking over the contract for printing
he found that it contained no specifications
for engrossing and he wished to know how it
was To be measured if this was the ease.
The President informed him that there wa.
no question before the Senate, and, on motion
OF Mr.. VIsToS of Cumberland, the commun-
lcation was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee, the committee to which other papers
relating to the subject have been referred.

from the table He spoke of the perncous
effect of canning on this species of fish, and
said the Gamers themselves even ask that
this protection be afforded as the only RENE
dy to prevent their utter determination.
Mr.. Russ of Deer Isle opposed the passage
of the bill. 1t would result disastrously to
the poor class of people on the coast. lie
offered to amend go as to make the close time
from the first Of August until the fifteenth OF
Sept, and from the 18th of Nov. until the Isl
of April following.
Mr.. KIMBALL of Bath opposed the amend
ment. 1t would be fatal to the objects sought
by the bill. The committee was unanimous
for the measure.
Mr.. HARRINGTON of Fryeburg said the bill
had been reported in the interests of the lob
ster fishermen and not in the interests of cor
pOrations. If the amendment was adopted,
which would allow canning when Holsters are
not fit to eat, then Gamers should be obliged
to brand such cans, that people may know
what they are eating.
Mr.. RAND of Gouldsboro' opposed the pas
sage of the bill 1t would work against the
interests of his constituents.
Mr.. MOORE of Machiasport argued in favor
of the bill as reported by the Committee, and
was speaking when Mr. PERRY of Camden
called for the special assignment which was
the druggists BILL specially assigned for i
o'clock.
| The druggists bill was then taken up and
read the third time.

understood 70, and as the people of the
State understood it. The bondhOiders
are interested in this resource to pay
the bonds they hold, and the people
are interested in it to zee that they are
not 60 be taxed TO pay interest or prin-
cipal of bonds for aOhich the railroads
are pledged by the terms Of the toaO."
Mr.. Charles O'CoDnor's opinion on
the case, given in a judicial sense,
which will soon be made public, will,
it is said, be distinct and emphatic in
support of tie lien, aud many other
eminent juris,s have expressed simi-
lar opinions. The supposed pa allel
case of Minnesota is not in point,
since it was not pretended that the
lien in that case was anything more
than a mere indemnify of the s ale.
Without discussing the question
here presented, as we have stated
before, it makes very little differ
ence to the State, so far as the debt
is concerned, how this suit is de-
cided. If the bondholders gain it,
it only transfers the Indebtedness
from them to the railroads which
have paid their Indebtedness, and
the State will be in honor bound to
reimburse them.

THE RAILROAD SUITS.

Quite a spirited controversy has been
going on in some of the New York
papers over ques ions involved in the
suit of G. Amoly Stevens, large
holder of Tennessee bonds, against
the solvent railroads Of this State.
The Financial Chronicle, an excel
lent and well-established financial
journal, takes the ground that the
lien retained upon the roads, pros
vided for by the Internal Improves
ment acts, passed by the Legislature
of Tennessee, was for the benefit Of
the State, and that having paid
their Indebtedness under laws passed
by the Legislature, the lien no
longer exists, and that, therefore,
the bondholders have no recourse
to the railroads, but can look
alone to the State for the payment
of their claims. The american
Exchange and The Public dissent
from this view of the case, and
hold that the bonds constitute lien
upon the identical road, in aid of
which they are issued. Rev. R. S.
Moran takes this view of the case
in a communication published in
The American Exchange, and this
is understood to be the position of
Charles O'Conner, whose services,
as counsel in the railroad suits,
have been secured it, is said. The
journal last above mentioned says:
Governor BrownIow, in his message
to the Tennessee Legislature of 1868,
used the following words: 1.-THE
State, in point of honor and fact,
holds the lien in fiduciary capacity
She holds il IN trust for the benefit of
the bondholders. She honorably has
no right to abandon IL or surrender ii
to the companies. She ought not ts5

ONE week from to-day, at noon,
the present session of Congress will
end. Only that length of time to
finish the business that must be at
tended to, or create the necessity of
an extra session next summer. So
far, only the Naval, Military
Academy, Indian, Pension, and Cen
sular and Diplomatic Appropriation
bills have been passed. The FORTH
cation bill is in the hands of CON
ference committee the Army bill
is under discussion in the Senate;
the Postofice Appropriation bill has
been strangled by the Roach sub
sidy amendment; the Deficiency
bill, and the Harbor and River bills
have not even been brought before
the Senate; the Legislative bill has
been ruined by the riders in regard
to the test-oath and the Federal
Election laws which have been tack
ed on and the Sundry Civil bill
has not even been reported on by
the House Committee.
In addition to this, several inns
portant bills have not been settled
finally, among them the Anti-Chi-
nese bill, the Internal Revenue bill
and the Interstate Commerce bill.
For this the Democratic House is
responsible, and the expense of an
extra session will be at the doors of
the same men.

paper.
Tie DAILY CHRONICLES, and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE,
will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
BY enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit contin-
uation of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced the pub
hcation of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re
publican principles, and see no
reason TO change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party,
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
AS newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our Geographic dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit Of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor~
nation is obtained,
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish a paper that may be taken
question within the sacred
orecints Of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire
y correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter
9sted in the publication Of our in
fearless, reliable Repub-
lean journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
# the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WIG AND CHRONICLE.
In view of the financial pressure
Ipon the country and the general
eduction of values, we have decided
o reduce the price of the WEEKLQ
WIG AND CHRONICLE to suit the
lines. In the future we will send
ur weekly paper to subscribers on
he following.
