The convention then adjourned.
The Work of the Committees,

The matter of the ratification by the legis-
lature of the issuing of bonds by the Bucks
port & Bangor railroad company was con-
sdered by the Judiciary Committee. F. A.
Wilson, Esq, of Bangor, appeared for the
petitioners John l.. Buck, Esq, of Bucksport,
appeared for the remonstrants. No decision
arrived at. The bill to establish a municipal
court at Eastport, which was recommitted to
the committee, was reported in a new draft.
Voted legislation inexpedient on reducing
the value of personal property exempt. from
attachment. Voted to report bill relating
to administrators and executors. Voted
leave to withdraw on petition of the inhabi-
tants Of the town of Bremen, that said town
may he exempt from the provisions of the
riot act. Voted leave to withdraw on order
relating to interest on endorsements.
The Committee on Interior Waters gave a
hearing to parties desiring to have boom to
stop logs at Canton. Hon. l. Washburn,
Hon John p. Swasey and Hon. S. G. An
drews appeared for the petitioners and J.
Wood of Lewiston. and Hon. A. w. Paine of
Bangor appeared for the Lewiston Lumber
ing corporations. The hearing occupied the
whole of the afternoon No decision reached.
The committee on temperance gave u hear
ing in Representatives Hall, yesterday after
noon, on the druggists bill. Rev. DIR. War
rem, of the Christian Mirror, appeared for the
remonstrants, who said the act was not called
for. The law is to prohibit the sale of liquors,
not to regulate it. The question of liquor rs
medicine was for the medical profession,
and not for legislative bodies. Druggists
now have the right to keep liquors for COM
pounding their medicines. To pass this law
would he step backwards. Hon. John =.
Swasey of Canton, said he thought the stat
utes establishing town agencies covered all the
points desired Was in favor ofputting all the
restraints possible on the liquor traffic. He adj
vised the letting alone of temperance legisla-
ton. The people ofthis State do not ask for this
law. w. T. Eustis of Dixfeld, said the petit
tons simply that the druggists af Maine sim
ply want the privilege of selling liquor. Rev.
d. b. Randall also spoke briefly on the same
side. The speakers were all clear and point
cd in their remarks. Geo. c. Ycaton, Esq,
spoke in favor of the bill, giving a more full
and elaborate argument than that presented
on the previous evening.
The committee voted to 2, to report the
bill to the Legislature. Those voting in the
negative were Senator Coombs and Mr..
Jones of Lewiston, Senator Prince being alb
sent.
The committee on towns, last evening, in
the Hallowell case, voted to report bill sub
hitting the question to the people of the city
to determine whether they will return to a
town government.

BERLIN, January %. The lower house Of
the Prussian Diet, to-day, discussed and re-
jected the motion introduced by an Ultra
Montana, calling upon the Prussian ministry
to instruct its representatives in the Federal
Council to oppose the parliamentary disci-
pine bill. But one of similar tendency, in
troduced by the National Liberals and Pro-
gressionits, WAS adopted, to the effect that
existing guarantees Of liberty and speech and
independent standing of regulations relative
to parliamentary business and discipline,
constitute the essential basis Of both the
Prussian and Imperial constitutions, and that
the relation to the bill, the protection of the
constitutional rights, can safely be left to the
Reichstag.
