perintendent Coombs. the Directors and 9TH
or gentlemen interested in the Knox &
Lincoln Road. today and made an examine
ton of the road. Committees we're appoint
ed by the cities and towns interested 1t the
Knox & Lincoln, more especially the COM
mittees representing Bath and Rockland
have had several conferences of late. con-
corning the interests of the road. and the
question of lease or sale has been discussed.
President Jackson met committee OF the
Directors of the Knox & Lincoln, at Wiscas-
SET last Saturday, and at the conference he in
timated that the Maine Central might be will
ling to lease the road for ninety years,
at fair rate. But nothing definite could
then be said. as his Directors had not been
called to consider the subject, and as large
sum would have to be expended on the Knox
Lincoln in case of such lease, an exam
ination and estimates would be necessary be-
fore.a final consideration of the question.
The invitation to the Maine Central officials
was given as a result of this conference. The
party left Bath by a special train al O'Clock,
stopping at various stations, and arrived here
in time for dinner, returning this afternoon.
The road was found to be in an excellent
condition, and the party were gratified at the
result of their examination. Should the
Maine Central effect lease of the Knox &
Lincoln, new ferry boat at Bath, capable of
Transporting six cars, a more rapid transit OF
freight and fast day express from Boston
are among the improved facilities talked of.

Augusta. Saturday Morning, Dec. 8.
Governor PIafsted.

At the close of his first and last annual
message, Governor Plaisted in eulogizing
the constitution under which we live,
quoted these words from one Of Cicero's
orations: 20 wonderful system of gov
eminent which we have received from our
fathers LET Us PRESERVE IT." The
constitution which Governor Plaisted re-
ferred to was the national constitution.
But the quotation is just as applicable to
the State as to the national constitution.
In view of Governor PIaisted attempt to
abolish the Executive Council which is as
much creature Of the constitution az the
Office of Governor is; and in view of his
contempiuous disregard Of the interpre-
tation given to the constitution and the
laws made Hereunder. by the Supreme
Judicial Court, when properly called up
on by the Council to do so it would seem
as though Governor Plaisted had forgotten
utterly his fervid quotation from Cicero in
praise Of the constitution. and is bound to
do his level best to destroy our consti-
tuition and laws where they do not agree
with his private and special opinions.
He may be Of the opinion that the Execu-
tive Council ought to be abolished. but as
long as it is a constitutional part Of the
government, he is bound TO regard
it as such by the oath he has
taken to support the constitution. II
NAV be that Governor Long Of Mass
achusetts las objections to an Execu-
tive Council, but why should the Gov
ernor of Maine follow the opinion Of the
Governor Of Massachusetts, in preference to
the constitution and laws Of our own
State in the matter of the Executive Coun-
Gil? Is Governor Longs opinion to weigh
more in the scale with Gov. Plaisted. on
governmental questions in Maine. than the
constitution and laws of Maine (Which we
have received from our fathers"
In the same message Governor Plaisted
speaks of ''men ready to tear down the
very temple of liberty itself if public Of
fees were not occupied by men Of their
choice" We know of no man more fit to
be placed in such a category. than gov
ernor who tramples the constitution and
laws under his feet. and treats the opin-
ions of the Supreme Court with contempt

1t is undoubtedly true that the threat
ening attitude of Russia has convinced
the Chinese Government that without
the railroad and telegraph the empire is
in bad way. When a number of Eng
lishmen attempted to build short piece
of road near Shanghai, the natives bought
it up and then destroyed it. Opposition
to the introduction of the telegraph has
been equally as strong. But the current
of public opinion is changing. Already
there is Geographic communication be-
tween Pekin, Tientsin and Shanghai,
and movements are on foot which before
long will end with the connection of
several other important points. The
government has given permission for the
construction of six hundred miles of
railroad from Pekin, and when it shall
go a step further, and give the builders
full control, it will be an easy matter to
get enough foreign capital to open up
thousands of miles Of rich lands that are
now unoccupled, and to connect the
populous trade centres with the sea-
board.
