NEW YORK. April 10. The Herald's SYRIA
cuse correspondent says the programme Of the
regular democratic convention tomorrow, is
as follows First, to pass a joint resolution
commendatory of Tilden; second, an effort
will be made to effect change of method OF
choosing dele gates to the National cow entiOn
by congressional districts. Iu this way it is
claimed the Tildentes will be able to send
from fifty to fifty-fve delegates out of 20 to
Cincinnati; third no resolution to instruct,
will be insisted upon; fourth, no recognition
of Tammanyites or anti-Tilden delegates.
will be permitted under any circumstances.
Congressman Fox states he will introduce
resolutions reading Kelly out of the demo-
cratic party.
The Suns Syracuse special says: Large
numbers of delegates and politicians are ar
irving on every train for the convention to-
morrow. The democratic union are pleading
with country delegates and Irving Hall men
to bring about harmony between the factions,
but the country members are bitterly opposed
to Kelly. There are buta few Kelly men here.
The friends of Tilden and the anti-kelly fac
ton have been on hand in force and captured
delegates Immediately upon their arrival. A
few of Kelly's friends on the ground have at
tempted to stem the tide, but with poor sue
cess. One declared that if the convention at
tempted to force Tilden on the party, Kelly
would run as an independent candidate for
President in this State. 1t is thought the
delegation elected will be uninstructed.

Ee0c nerS ASeOClatlOns
The third annual session of the Maine
State Teachers Association will be held at
the hall of the Classical Institute, Water
vile, May 9th and 9TH. Many earnest
teachers of the State deem this meeting
very important to the interest of teachers
and education in Maine. For three or four
wears an imperfect professional organization
has existed. 1t has held annual sessions in
Bangor and Portland, and through its Com
mittee of Instruction" has done much in Wis
iting schools and discussing the practical
teaching of languages and other studies, in
the leading places of the State. But the
teachers who have been most active in this
work believe that the time has come for
new and wide professional organization, for
the purpose of better work in their calling,
and better schools in Maine. With these
ends in view, committees Of this association
and of the Educational Association held in
Gardiner last December, have prepared 4
plan for a Professional Teachers Organiza-
ton, into which it is proposed to merge this
association. Let the teachers of Maine
gather in large numbers at Watervile, to
consider these measures, and to give them
wise. earnest and vigorous impulse. Ii at
tendance is impossible, let the President and
Secretary hear from you before the meeting,
that there NAV be full expression of Opin-
ion and purpose. The following is the order

think some may receive wrong impress
sion by the report in the Journal of this
morning, in regard to the case Of Nathaniel
p. Mooers Of Vienna, who was tried on an in
dictment for making his house liquor nui-
sance 1t was case of cider selling. under
the old law, and in order to convict. it must
be proved that cider was not only sold for
tipping purposes, but must have been drank
on the premises. In this case it was not in
evidence that the cider was drank on the
premises, and so Of right the defendant was
entitled to verdict Of acquittal. Under the
new law, in force since March 10, $780, the
same evidence would have convicted the de-
PENDANT of keeping liquor nuisance.
