kENNEBEC VALLEY CAMP MEETING
Thursday.

The fourth day. of the camp-meeting. and
1alr weather has dawned upon US with no sign
OF rain to dampen either the spirits or bodies
OF the campers. Good feeling and spirits of
people are so closely connected with the
weather that one is almost led to believe that
the barometer measures the state of mind in
which an individual is, almost as correctly as
1t does the atmospheric pressure. How
ever that may be, the enthusiasm attending
THIS meeting is undoubted.
general prayer meeting, held in the tab
ernacle, took the place of the customary morn
ing social meetings. Rev. A S. Ladd of Port
land, preached a very earnest discourse at 10
a. m from Rom. viii HE that spared not
his own Son, but delivered him up for us all:
now shall ne not with him freely give us all
things The subject was the dispensations of
God. At the close Rev. j. w. Hamilton
made stirring appeal to the audience to come
to Christ
At p. M Mrs. Clark, assisted by MIS-.
Brown, conducted the children's meeting in
the tabernacle. AT the same time social meet
ings were held in the Gardiner and Bowdoin-
ham tents In the afternoon, after the read
ing OF the scripture lesson, the muttering
thunder and gathering clouds so contradicted
the promise of fair day, which we had in the
morning, that the whole congregation. to the
number OF 1000. adjourned to the tabernacle
where they listened to very eloquent and in
teresting sermon from Rev. Geo. ID. Lindsey of
Gardiner. His text was from Heb. xiii, 5.
For he hath said, will never leave thee, nor
forsake thee" He then spoke ~ of the char
acters addressed, (2 the nature of the assur-
ance OF the text and (3) the author of this as
surance.
At p. m. the Kennebec Valley Camp Meet
ing Association held their annual meeting for
the transaction of business.
AT 8 p. m. social meetings were held in
nearly all the society tents on the grounds
Inc social meetings have been especially well
attended this year and many souls have been
soundly converted to God. In the evening
Rev. +. q. Rogers of Brunswick preached in
the tabernacle from Matt xiii, 3. "And he
spoke many things unto them in parallels,
saying, behold sower went forth TO sow
The sermon was listened to by a large audience
with deep interest AT the close remarks were
made by many of the other ministers present.

Maine Four Per Cent. Bonds,

The bids for the four per cent. loan of $780,
600 to the State of Maine, opened at Augusta,
Wednesday afternoon were 81 in number, and
the aggregate amount was for 81 900. The
successful bidders were Messrs. Brewster,
Basset & Co. of Boston, at a premium of
S2-100 per cent. The eagerness of shrewd
and cautious capitalists to invest so largely in
these bonds speaks volumes for the high credit
of Maine.

be legislature, this Court in its several an
swers of January last, announced the result
to which it had arrived; that the legislature
by which the act under discussion was passed,
was the legislature to whose acts the obedi-
ence of the people is due. In the correctness
of the conclusions which were then reached,
and in the principles and reasons upon which
those conclusions are based, we rest in perfect
confidence
To the same general effect are the cases of

The body of men which the counsel for the
defendant terms by courtesy de fdcto legisla-
ture, though lit house was composed of men
who were and who were not elected, both
classes not constituting quorum, and of a
senate part of whom, less than quorum,
were duly elected and part were not
elected, could not legally act as legisla-
tive bodies. While this condition of affairs
remained there was no legal legislature. The
greater portion of the members of the bodies
thus constituted took their seats respectively
in the rightful house and senate-a house and
senate composed of members unQuestionably
elected. They participated in its legislative
ceived and acknowledged the receipt of the
compensation to which by law they were en-
titled as members of the legislature. There
was no other body claiming to exercise legisla-
tive functions. What the counsel calls the de
facto legislature became merged into the right
full legislature, by which governor was chos-
en- in the accustomed manner, who entered
upon and is now disCharging, without inter-
ference or obstruction. the duties of that Of
flee. All this is well known as matter of cur
rent history, as well as by the legislative jour
nails.
The offered proof was properly excluded. 1t
is immaterial whether not at some past time
there was de tacto legislature or de .facto
governor-inasmuch as neither was such de
jure-apd as the rightful legislature was
not interfered with in the exercise of it's legi
innate powers, and the rightful governor is
not disturbed in the discharge of his official
duties. The acting legislature and the acting
governor are both de .taoto and de jare the
legislature and governor of the State and to
be recognized as such.
