front. We understand that all of the
members of the Council have 4 high
opinion of the character and services Of
the lady who was appointed to di'place
Mr. Gallagher. She has great claims
for what she has done for the soldier and
his family, and it would only be neces-
sary that there should be . vacancy in
and an appointment to any Office that she
can fill, to secure for her 4 unanimous
confirm ation.
1t is much to be regretted tina. Gov
ernor Plaisted could not be induced to
nominate Mrs. Sampsonfor the Registry
Of deeds of Sagadahoc County. 1t was
the place which she desired, and which
she ought to have, for she deserves well
of her countrymen for the sake Of the
good things she has done herself and for
the memory of her soldier husband. The
Council expressed their willingness, and
even eagerness, to confirm her for the
Registry, but Gov Plaisted saw fit to re-
fuse this and to name her for q place TO
which the Council could not consent with
out abandoning the principle for which
they had been contending for more than
a year, and to which the Supreme Court
had given Judicial sanction. We hope
