that under the present Constitution?
Can he take an Office under q Conslitu-
tional provision that was not In exist
ence when he was elected2 Can he
claim to be elected to a position ion
which there was no provision of law

was voted for? Will not the Judge

Judge" in the county OF Marion, who
was duly elected last fall to iudgeship
under a County Court bill, but who up
to this time has not been able to find
any court over which TO preside?-the
bill establishing the court having failed
to carry.
In other words, II the present eighth
article OF the constitution is superseded
at the next election by the adoption OF
a substitute, won't the candidate who is
elected to position under the super
seeded article be also superseded? And
ii there has been no candidate elected
TO the judgeship under the amendment,
won't there be 4 vacancy, il said amend
ment is ratifed2
We suggest the predicament, but not
the remedy. We do not venture to de-
eide the question as to whether it would
be competent for the State Convention
to put two candidates in the field, that
is, one for the iudgeship under the pres
ent constitution and another for the
prospective constitution, but the situa-
ton at least oilers chance by which
a superabundance OF material for candi-
dates can be distributed, and for an ex.
ira one to take his chances by volun
tary campaign under the amendment.
II the amendment should be ratified,
We are not certain that his chances for
the position would he inferior to those
of the candidate under the old cOnstllu-
ton. lie would have the advantage Of
being elected to position that Is
open, while his competitor would only he
claiming a position that had been closed
or superseded. There would be irregu-
larity in both eases, but greater in the
latter .han in the former.
In this view il will be couundrum
for the conventions to crack. For II the
Democrats should make but one nOmi-
nation and the Republicans two, the
latter will at least have covered all the
chances, and will have two points
against one Of getting candidate seated.

The use of the Telephone is daily increas-
ing in this city. folks finding it wonderful
auxiliary in conducting business with their
neighbors distant and near. Our enterpris-
ing neighbors, Messrs Partridge Bros, have
had the wire extended into their drug store
and have now instantaneous communication
with telegraph, express and freight offices
and all other enterprising institutions, and
parties who use this wonderful appliance of
business and convenience. We are glad to
learn that the business of this worthy drug
house continues to increase as its merits de-
serve. Their trade is not limited to this city
only, but they daily receive by mail or teie
graph large and small orders for goods in
their line which the people have learned can
be filled there on most satisfactory terms.

For the past three years it has been GUS
tomary to celebrate the Fourth at Silver
Lake, one of the seven that lie in the extreme
northerly part of the town, near the Sidney
and Belgrade line. Surrounded by hills and
high ridges, green with woods of towering
pine, no more delightful place can be found
by those who desire a most enjoyable time.
From city and country the people came in
crowds. A temporary floor for dancing had
been erected. and band of three pieces, I'M
der the lead of Mr.. Joseph Newman dis
coursed excellent music for those who wished
to indulge in that animated amusement.
Swings and croquet sets were also well pat
ronized, and old and young gave themselves
up heartily to the enjoyment of the enlivening
occasion. The excessive heat of the day was
tempered by cool breeze, and the festivities
were kept up until late hour. The day
closed with an exhibition of fireworks.

A Voice From CushnOc Heights,

1t would seem as though all of our holt
abundance of flowers scattered over the
graves of our dead heroes, is just past when
the ''Great London Circus puts in an ap-
pearance with the baby elephant that calls in
crowds of people from the surrounding towns.
Next in order comes the glorious Fourth of
July, with the usual number of excursions,
picnics and accidents. Many Il mother is
glad to know that the Fourth has passed, and
her young ''hopeful' still retains his eye
sight, full number of limbs. and the most of
his hair. The people on Cushnoc Heights
awoke on Tuesday morning, feeling rejoiced
that Independence day was over. and were
not a little surprised and amused to find
three sign-boards placed on their chapel.
They were lettered in good style and read as
follows: First Christian Union Church of
Augusta, organized Oct. /, 1873" "Christian
Home;" Free Chapel" This chapel, al
though a neat modern house, is not as large
or supported by as many columns and pilas-
tiers as King Solomon's temple, yet the peo-
pie are glad to 60 there to worship, when
there is unity and concerted action on the
part of the society. The church for the
present is without a pastor, and there APP

members of the society, in regard to the or

sign-boards were put there by the Lord, but
the people who saw them placed there. say it
was done bv one Isaiah Furbush, and that
the Lord had nothing to do with 1t. How
ever this may be. there is a fair chance for a
law suit to grow out of it. Take down the
signs. and 'Let us have peace"
