A National Grange Memorial.

The National Grange Of Patrons of HIS
bandry have memorialized Congress on the
subject of grievances from which they pray
for relief: So ~ 80 - ~ -
l. That transportation companies engaged in
interstate commerce, of the United States have
30 far exceeded their chartered rights and fran
chises that to-day their management is without
exception illegal and arbitrary. fD
2. That frequent and unreasonable huctua-
tons in their rates of transportation, both of
freight and passengers, are whimsical and I'M
ne necessary.
3. Railroads are common carriers, built by
the people for the common veal, and should
not be tolerated as arbitrary and crushing mo-
nopolies.
a. Organized combination among these trans
portation companies destroys the possibility Of
Legitimate competition and Expresses the indus
trial classes Of our country.
5. These monopolies, annually growing more
powerful and defiant have not been and are
not restrained by effective Congressional legis-
lation.
The memorialists therefore urge the enact
ment of such laws as will relieve burdened
and oppressed people from these unlawful ex-
actiOua

MAINE.
Meeting of the Legislature.

There was considerable excitement at Au-
gusta, Me-, on the 9TH inst, the day set apart
for the converting of the Legislature Dis
patches state that the largest crowd that ever
made its way to the State House began to move
police at the Capitol we're without badges, and
had no appearance of bearing arms. There
was q perfect jam in the corridors and halls
and stairways, and it was with great
difficulty that those allowed to en-
Ter the legislative halls pushed
their way thither. There were very many va
cant seats in the House, as the Republicans
carried out their programme. and kept away,
a few only moving about in the rear Of the
hall There was no disturbance whatever.
The principal interest centered in the popular
branch, the proceedings in the Senate
hardly reaching ripple of excitement
In the House, after the call
ing OF the roll, Eugene Hale, the Republican
leader, claimed that certain elected members
from cities were not on the roll, and moved
that they be included. He supported his mo-
ton in a long speech. Objectious were made
to the motion from the other eide, and Mr.
Hale was ruled out of order by the Assistant
Clerk, who refused to put the motion, on
which the Republicans withdrew from par
ticipating in the proceedings. mes
sage was then set to the Governor
aud Council, stating that quorum of tho
members of the House was present, ready to
be qualified. Great excitement prevailed dur
ing Mr.. Hale's remarks, and uprosrious ap-
plause followed. After the notification to the
Governor thatG quorum wac present, the Gov
ernor appeared and qualified the members He
then announced that seventy six members, being
d quorum, had taken and subscribed to the
necessary oaths, and were regularly and duly
constituted the House Of Representatives. This
announcement was received with wild applause
put into their hands the opinion OF the Su-
preme Oonft, as we'll as the petition OF gen
t1ef1en from certain cities claiming seats, and
invoked their careful consideration of the same.
Three cheers were given for Gov. Garcelon,
followed by prolonged hissee. W.
The quorum is made OF seventy-fve Fusion
lists and one Republican, Eugene Hale. The
Fusionists not participating are Sproul, of
Veazie; Voter, OF Pennington, and Snow, Of
Skowhegan.
The Hollse proceeded to organize by the
election of John G. Talbot as Speaker by vote
of ~.
The protest of members from five cities was
presented by Mr.. Hale, who moved that the
House go into committee of the whole and con-
slider the cases.
The Pennington and other cases were also
referred.
Mr.. Dickey remarked that the Supreme
Court had nothing to do with the action OF the
Legislature, which drew forth plea from Mr..
Hale defending the court and asking that con-
stitutlonal barriers be not swept away. He
said that the election OF officers under laws
passed by this body, as now constituted, would
not be legal. In the Senate, there was little OF
interest to the enormous crowd which throne cd

which are in the hands OF agents for investi-
CATION and others so recently closed and sub

all be decided and reported 10 Congress- by the
time the term of this commission ends, on the
10th Of next March.
The rest of the 5,7o2 cases not yet reported

the part OF the claimant to sustain the claim
was filed by the 10th day of March, 1879. The
act of Congress OF June Is, 1873, provides, in re-
gard to all such claims that @they shall be barred

Matters wore a quiet look at the Maine CAPT.
tai on, Saturday and Sunday, the 10th and 18th.
The House adjourned early on Saturday for
want of quorum, all the Republicans being
absent. The State Treasurer refused TO pay
out any money and declined TO honor two or
ders passed by the Senate. Eight armed men
were discovered in the library of the State
House, apparently concealed, and guard
ing quantity Of arms and ammunition.
At the demand of the police authorities
from Bangor TO Augusta were returned. Will
lam r. White, of Winthrop, who was charged
by Representatives Swami and Hartman with
attempting to bride them to stay away from the

the duties of Governor pending the election Of
q successor to Garcelon, whose term expired

affairs at the Maine capital on the 9th. The
House was in session all day without quorum

But little of interest or importance trans
pired at Augusta on the 9Th. Both branches
Of the Legislature held brief sessions. In the
House, the Republican members holding GER
ti6cates, sixty in number, presented thom-
selves and asked to be sworn in, but the Clerk
refused to administer the oath just at present,

powers in that direction, but should inform

Let LoOse.

On Tuesday, John Platts, who has
been confined in the city jail for ovel
three months, was let loose. He is
the fellow who was arrested in thi:
city for breaking into the curiosity
shop Of a man named Carey, a.
Ogden. There was little, if any,
doubt of his guilt, as some OF the
stolen property, especially a pistol, was
discovered TO have been sold by him
in this city. His matter should have
been brought before the grand jury
1T Ogden for the present term, but
owing to the negligence of the prose-
cutor or his deputies, he was forgot
ten, and the jury adjourned without
considering his case. In consequence
of this, District Attorney VaDZile, on
Tuesday, instructed Marshal Burt to
release Platts, and it was accordingly
done Had someone done the duty
for which someone is paid, the case
being q clear one, this fellow would
likely have been working out a just
term in the PenitentiarV, with his
friends, Moulton, Klein, Wilbur and
others.

More Thieves.

There is pretty reliable inferma-
ton that the number OF hard cases is
increasing in the city again. The
successful arrest by the city authori-
ties, and conviction of the desperate
characters who committed the bold
robberies here and 10 Ogden last
winter has caused individuals OF this
profession to remain q little shy, and
many have given Salt Lake the
go-5ye. Il appears, however, that g
new gang is gathering in and coming
to the front, and trouble is anticipated
from them.
