PENoBscor COUNTY CASE.
The Dexter Savings Bank vs. Samuel
Copeland, executor.
RescrIpt first question presented
is whether the facts presented by the re-
port show prima facie any balance in favor
Of the plaintiff. Assuming the statements
Of the amount as made by the auditors to
be correct as far as it goes, which We do not
decide, il the money appropriated TO the
payment Of the note should have been al
lowed as credit to the defendant it would
change the balance and the judgment must
be for defendant.
The note was without consideration and
invalid even as a gift. The appropriation
therefore Of the insurance money to its pay
ment was without right.
The assignment of the policy of insurance
was never delivered or accepted in the life
time of the assignor and gave no legal claim
upon it to the bank. But the trustees APP
propria,ed it. entered it upon the books Of
the bank as far as they could without CON
sent of the assignor. That consent is sup
piled BIZ the defendant in this case by his
claim 10 nave IL aio~eu as credit, ceflaini,
SO far as is necessary TO pay losses to the
bank for which his testator was liable, SO
far he could not recover it in another
action Whether he can recover the excess
the court does not decide.
lie cannot recover the excess in this
ton. Nor can this court fix any amount
which may be due either party as by the
terms of ne report it can decide whether
any item is sustained prima .faeie, only and
not upon It's merits. For this reason there
fore the judgment must he for the defen-
dant, it must he such more as will not pre-
clude the plaintiff from a further hearing upon
wise, if occasion shall require.
The entry must therefore be plaintiff

And this famous commission is to be aid

chief clerks and chiefs of divisions, all Of
whom were appointed by republican secre-

economy Lamar and Garland advertise q

of horse feed and drivers wages. while the
heads of the other departments follow the
example of their republican predecessors
and ride and Lamar makes his pedestrian
economy appear all the more ridiculous by
having a fancy bathroom with expensive

Our Shipping Interests.

II is very reasonable to suppose that the
people Of Maine should take more than
common interest in the general desire now
being manifested, that the American Aas
should be restored upon the ocean in oil ito
former glory. for it is subjec, in which
they have particular interest and pride.
From their ship yards have gone forth the
fines, wooden ships upon the ocean,their Sea-
men are everywhere acknowledged 10 be
competent men. aud il is mainly due to the
influence Of their Senators and Representa-.
tises in Congress, that the impudent at
,emp,s 10 replace our shipping with the Eng
lish tramps have thus far been defeated.
These steamers bull, in defiance Of every
rational principle Of naval architecture. and
sent out by the English to crush Oh, of ex-
istence the remainder Of our shipping which
they had failed 10 destroy during the var. are
now being sold to the underwriters at fear
full sacrifice. The fears that many have enter
tanned tina, steamers would entirely take tn.
place Of sailing vessels have not been real
lied. for their day has not yet gone bv. and
American sailing vessels Will always have
the preference becaus, they are in every re-
spect the best. With the protection for our
shipping which is given 10 other industries
and which it will doubtless receive in some
form in the near future. the s.ip- Yards Of
Maine ought to again ring with The sounds
of labor. and her Young men who now in
many instances are obliged 10 20 into other
states and seek for employ ment in faciorie,
and elsewhere, become the sturdy and ro-
bust sons Of the sea. To accomplish these
ends 1t is evident that every teasouabl. in
