THE FRIENDS.
Annual Session of the New England
Meeting.

Annual Session of the New England
Meeting.
NEWPORT, R. l., June 12. This mornings
session of the New England Friends opened
with prayer. Statistics we're presented from
different Quarterly Meetings, showing that
during the year there had been twenty-nlne
births, eighty-one deaths and forty-three new
members: total number, 44O0.
John p. Pennington spoke OF the RESPONSE
bility of Yearly Meeting with a membership
of 4400 and 80 births.
Obadiah Chase explained that where parents
were not both members their children were not
recorded as members, and as there we're hum
dreds of members thus united in marriage with
members statistics form criterion likely to be
misunderstood.
The subject of the hindrances to the work OF
evangelization and building up of the church
were canvassed by Charles Kenyon.
DIR. Rhodes of Philadelphia said that church
that depended upon mere birthright succession
will certainly fall out, and that this was never
the aim of Fox and Penn.
Ephraim Jones of Indiana spoke words OF
encouragement ON the same subject, after
which the session adjourned until afternoon.
At the afternoon session Rebecca Collins of
New York and Caroline e. ralbor of Ohio ad-
dressed the meeting. Asa G. Tuttle offered
practical remarks on unbridled use OF the
tongue and its damaging effects on the cause
of Christ. John Metcalf of Worcester spoke
OF the necessity OF interesting young men as
workers in church The meeting was also ad-
dressed by Amos Kenworthy and Alexander
M. Pnrdy of New York. 1t was decided to
hold the next yearly meeting at Portland; also
that in future the monthly meeting in the sec
ond month be held in Vassalboro' instead of
Portland. This evening there was public
temperance meeting, addresses being made by
j. P. Doyle of Massachusetts, Elizabeth Lark
in of New Hampshire, j. P. Pennington of In
diana, Caroline E. Talbot of Ohio, DR.. J. 9.
Baily of Indiana, Eli Jones of Maine and
others.

The Rights of Reporters.

An interesting case, involving the rights of
the newspaper reporter as against legislative
bodies, is now under consideration by the Su-
preme Court of Ohio. The point az issue is.
whether, for any cause save for disorderly con-
duct or breach of decorum which impades the
transaction of business, reporters can be ex-
cluded or elected from the meetings of legis-
lative body. W. J. Shaw and Ed Betty, re-
porters for Cincinnati newspapers, were ex-
cluded from meeting of the Cincinnati board
of education, that body having resolved to go
into secret session. They mounted ladder,
and from the roof were enabled to see and
hear the proceedings. which, one of the papers
say did not reflect much credit upon the board.
Being discovered, resolution was angrily
passed, excluding the two gentlemen from all
future meetings of the board. At subsequent
meeting Mr.. Shaw was persistent in demand
ing admittance, and was forcibly elected from
the building by the sergeant-at-arms. The lat
tor was prosecuted for assault and found guilty
in the police court. The case was then taken
up to the Supreme Court, and the argument
for the board takes the broad ground that the
public has no absolute right to attend the sit
tings of the board; that the newspaper repre-
sentative has no greater rights than any other
individual. The argument prepared on behalf
of the journalist is stated to be more replete
with authority than any that has heretofore
been compiled for Supreme Judicial tribunal
upon this issue. 1t allows the right to the con-
troll of the chamber for the maintenance of or
der, but denies the right of summary convic-
ton without appeal 1t moreover lays down
the principle that the public, and particularly
the representatives of the press, have the right
to attend and report the proceedings of all leg
islative bodies.

The Penopscot Drives.

The numerous rains during the past few
weeks have risen the streams and rivers of
northern Maine, so that a very good driving
pitch has prevailed. For many weeks the
prospect was very dubioas for the lumbermen,
but the aspect finally changed, and the present
season has really proved one of the most sue
cessful ones for driving logs that can be recall
ed by the Oldest operators on Penobscot waters.
The West Branch div will, it is expected,
turn out of the upper axes next week. A
portion of the East Branch has already arrlv-
ed in Penobscos boom. The first and second
Mattawamkeag drives, comprising about TWEEN
ty-seven milllo rs, arrived in Penobseot boom
on Thursday Jaoon. The third drive on the
Mattawamkea will probably be turned out OF
Oxbow boom on Q time next week. The Gull
drive of elevs4 Millions in charge of @. +.
Palmer with Mi chael Burke as master driver,
arrived at Penobscot boom Thursday noon,
three and half days from Brownville, and
seven days from the Katahdin Iron Works,
being the quickest time on record. Drum
mond's drive of four millions arrived in the
boom from the east branch of Pleasant river,
at the same time as Pamer's drive. About
one and half millions of Drummond's logs re-
main at Ebeme pond.-[B Bangor Whig.

The Revolt Against Plaisted.

One of the most important evidences OF the
anti-Plaisted revolt in the Up-River section of
this county, is the announcement by James G.
Emerson, Esq, of Lincoln, that he shall here
after give his hearty support to the Republican
party. Mr.. Emerson has hitherto acted with
the Democratic or Plaisted elements, but is un-
able and unwilling any longer to sustain the
Fusionist programme with its humbug and
mischievous demagogism. He is one of the
wealthiest and most energetic citizens of his
section, and will make his infunce felt in the
coming campaign. He will be welcomed as q
delegate in the Republican Convention, and
coming from what has been heretofore such
Plaisted stronghold, his action represents an
