The Skating Carnival,

The roller skating season came to brilliant
close last night at City Hall. The skaters
were for the most part in fancy dress, and pre-
scented picturesque az pearance on the floor
There were many of them, including visitors
from other Kinks in the State; and the audi
ence was large. The entertainment was one
of great interest to participants and lookers-on
both. Since Mr.. Lalime, the epterprisi,o
manager of the Lancaster Hall rink, has been
here, he has educated many skaters. and his
pupils gave gratifying exhibition last even
ing. One OF the most interesting features of
the occasion was the fancy skating by Mr.. G
B. Whitney of Brockton, who acquitted him
self wonderfully well. Very graceful skating
was also done by Miss Annie O'Neal and Mr..
Frank Barnes, who appear to have made a
study of the art and perfectly understand each
others methods. That accomplished skater.
Miss Jennie Barnes, charmingly exemplified
the poetry of motion.
This attractive and graceful sport is becom-
ing more popular every year, and there is no
doubt that next season Mr. Laime will have
larger patronage than ever before. He GER
talnly deserves that good fortune, and is to be
congratulated on the success he has already
achieved

An Important Suit

1t is expected suit of special interest will
be tried in the Supreme Judicial Court for
Cumberland County in this city this term
The town of Arson issued series of six per
cent. bonds and a series of seven per cent.

whole of them. A Portland bank has brought
an action against the town on these bonds;
$4,000 OF the seven per cent. bonds are held by
the Peoples Savings Bank of Lewiston. This
bank has also commenced an action, but will
await the result of the Portland suit, which
will be made test case and reported to the
law court. Private indi viduals in Lewiston
and Auburn also hold some of the bonds.

fUEsDAY MORNING. APRIL 10. 1ss1.
IN THE O. S. SENATE,

On the 1lth inst, after a few remarks ex-
changed by Mr. Davis, of West Va, and
Dir. Dawes, tending to show that each side
Of the chamber was determined in its course
of action, Mr.. Camden took the floor to give
his explanation of the debt question of West
Virginia. 1t had been charged by the Sem
ator from Virginia CHR. Mahone) that West
Virginia had shown no disposition to make
any provision for the settlement of the debt
question between the two States. To con.
tradiet this charge he quoted from various
sets passed by the Legislature of West vir>
ginia for the appointment of commissioners
20 adjust the debt. The last of these acts
had been passed in 1871, but before waiting
for the action of the commissioners the Leg
%islature of Virginia had passed the funding
bill, by which two.thirds of her debt had
been funded aud certificates for the remain.
ing third issued. These latter had been is>
sued without the knowledge of West Vir-
Einia, but had improperly come to be known
as West Virginia certificates. The commits
sioners had proceeded to make a report,
which showed that West Virginia would not
be liable for one>third of the debt on tn 9
basis of territory, population or revenue
Ths commissioners had decided that West
sNSiuIas proportion OF the oeot was $685.
$50. This report had been forwarded to
the authorities of Virginia and there the
matter had rested down to the present time.
Ne. Vest thought that the object of the
present position of the Republicans on this
floor was this /: That the Republican party,
with its vast patronage, its great influence,
It's patronage in the Senate, should throw
itself into the coming contest in Virginia
and crush out the real aud true Democracy
ct that glorious old Commonwealth, and the
Democrats were called upon in the name of
the constitution to set supinely here and see
this outrage perpetrated. If the Democrats
should sit here supinely and submit to any
thing like this they would deserve to be
branded as dishonored men. He would tell
the gentlemen on the other side, in no spirit
OF bravado, that rather than submit to this
interference of the National Republican
party in that contest, and rather than see the
Democratic party of Virginia stricken down
after that fashion, the Democratic Senators
would stand here. God willing, until the
SHOWS of December covered the hills in their
Sinding>sheets.
Senators Malone aud Hill had another
spar on Wednesday last, in which very severe
language was used ON both sides.
