sticks. The roads being newly laid with grave

Portland Da,s, Wholesale Market.
PORTLAND. March 1s.
The general merchandise market to-day has been
very active notwithstanding the wet weather and the
prevailing opinion of many of our merchants ap-
pears to be that everything bids fair for an un-
usually large business this spring. The different
lines of steamers from this port are loaded to their
utmost capacity each trip with various articles
of merchandise, and in many instances are unable
to carry the goods which hauled to their freight
houses between trims Some of our Garnet estab-

OF a State census would involve an expenses
that would be unwarranted even if il were
permissible under any construction of the Con-
Stitution. The Constitution does not require
that State census shall be taken, and does not
state the mode by which the number of inhab-
itonts shall be ascertained. The legislature
may do it in any manner that satisfies itself
The report here reviews the practice in this d.
rection. The practice of the past is too well
fixed to be now questioned. Ii the Governors
first objection is well founded then no consti-
tutional apportionment has ever been made by
any legislature of Maine The method of as
certainment of the number OF Inhabitants is
in no way under executive supervision. The
Governors recommendation to continue the
present apportionment is open to the same OBJ
lection as the one under consideration Such
an apportionment would have no basis, and by
the Constitution such an apportlonment could
not be changed for at least i've years
The other objections the committee believe
to be frivolous aud without foundation, and
they believe that the action OF the Executive
has rendered an extra session OF the Legisla-
ture necessary They decide that no further
action be taken or rendered.
The report was signed by the committee, L.
A. Emery ID. N. Mortland and Geo. ID. Bisbee.
The report was accepted.

Der of Congress in the Cd district early in the
month of September unless there should be an

this emergency.
1t is rumored in political circles that with
the adjournment of the Legislature the guillo-
tine of the Governor will be put into opera
ton, and the slaughtering of officials take
place in good earnest, commencing with the
decapitation of the Superintendent of Public

be organised and maintained in connec-
ton with every Sabbath School. All
the teachers and prospective teachers of
the school should be gathered into it. 1t
should be under the charge of the pastor
of the church, if possible, or that of the
superintendent, or some competent lead
er. There should be two courses Of sys-
tematic study; the one biblical, embrace
ing the structure, history, chronology,
geography, and theology of the Bible;
and the other embracing the whole field
of the teachers practical work, the best
methods of teaching, and the relation of
the teachers Office to the pupil, to the
school, to the Church, and to God. That
such measure as this is entirely prac-
ticable, will be seen at once. We have
no pastors and few superintendent who
could not qualify themselves to be COM
petent leaders of such class; and thus
we should have in constant training a
corps of workers in this important de-
partment who could be safely entrusted
with this vital interest of the Church.
We believe the day will come when
our Sessions, feeling the imperative need
of thorough work, will insist that none
shall undertake the service but such as
have qualified themselves, and are found
competent for it.
We are happy, in this connection, to
call attention to the series of normal class
lessons commenced in the January num-
Der of the Earnest Worker. The pur-
pose of the series is to provide for our
pastors and superintendent an outline
course of lessons for the conduct of such
a class as we have described. We are
sure that many will avail themselves of
it, and find it greatly useful.
The introduction of this course of nor
NAL lessons perfects the series of Sabbath
School helps provided by this valuable
magazine, and makes it very complete
as an aid to the whole work.
