IN speaking of the "leaks' In con-
nection with the County Court yes
terday, we bad reference to no partic'
ular individual, and especially none
to our worthy and efficient Trustee
w. III. Swan, Esq. His fidelity to the
trust reposed In him, none will doubt,
One reason why county warrants are
at a discount, is the action of the
Legislature, postponing the time fol
the payment of taxes. Another is,
the rate OF taxation is doubtless toe
low. And still another is, the ex-
penses Of the county are too high In
some particulars.

Bishop Haven took place to>day.
After a short service at the late
residence, his remains were taken to

every minister of the Methodist
denomination in New England was
present, besides many from differ
ent sections of the country. The
decorations of the church were
elaborate, and the floral contribu.
tions unusually fine. Bishop Foster
read the burial service, offered

MAINE.

AUGUSTA, Jan. 8.-Both branches
of the Legislature assembled quiets
ly at 10 a. m. in the presence Of a
much smaller number of spectators
than yesterday. In the Senate,
Senator Hobson offered reso-
luton for the appointment of
joint committee of both
Houses, to investigate the charges
of attempted bribery of members
Of the Legislature since the receipt
by them of their certificates. The
resolution was opposed by the Res
publican Senators, on the ground
that no bribery of Senators had
been charged. If members of the
House had been bribed, the investi,
cation should begin there. The
resolution, however, was adopted.
No other business of Importance
was transacted.
In the House the records of yes
terday were read and revealed the
fact that none of the officers voted
for had more than 72 votes.
Mr.. Hale announced the presence
of sixty Republicans with certif-
Gates, who were ready to be quail,
fed. Acting Governor Lawson re-
fused to qualify them at present, as
he did not know the extent of his
powers in that direction, but said he
would inform himself. The House
then quietly adjourned.
The Republican members will
probably be qualified tomorrow.
Mr.. Sproul, of Veasie, who is
among the number, will act with
the Republicans, thus giving the
latter a majority in the popular
branch, should the members from
the FIVE cities be admitted.

SPEAKING OF Garcelon's disregard
Of the Supreme Court decision, the
Cincinnati Commercial says:
The result has been not only to
make clear to the people of Maine and
the country the extent of the usurpa-
tion OF power by the Governor and
Council, but the absurdity Of the
technicaliies upon which they based
their official action. They stand con-
and the opinion OF the highest judicial
tribunal and whether they yield or
persist In their conduct, they are
under q popular judgment that will
sink them into political iDfamy.

spoke in opposition TO the proposed
rule, which provides that the Com
mittee on Commerce shall report
the River and Harbor bill merely
for reference to the Appropriations
Committee. He thought that the
latter committee, burdened as it
already is, could not give the
subject proper consideration. He
objected to the plan of making one
committee merely clerk or amanuen-
sis for another, and declared that
the Commerce Committee had
always acted upon the River and
Harbor bill with faithfulness
and efficiency. After some
further discussion, in which Mr..
Garfield, and Mr.. Hooke, of Missis-
sippi, participated, Mr.. Randall, of
Pennsylvania, disclaimed, on behalf
of tho Committee on Rules, any in
tention Of abridging the power of
any House committee, or Of saying
word derogatory to any commit
tee, but the River and Harbor bill
had steadily grown, year by year,
from $2, 100000 to $8,OO0,0 900, and
he thought it time that the House
be warned that the bill should have
fuller consideration and be less ex-
cessiye. g e Al

ing IN an animated personal debate
between Messrs. Randall and
O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, which

and confusion but which had little
