Representative Goodwin.

The course pursued by Skowhegan':
Representative in the Legislature during
the session just closed has been such as
TO do high credit to him and reilec,
credit upon the town Sir. Goodwin has
engaged In several pitched battles with
foemen worthy of any mans steel, and
he has sustained himself admirably.
He has not spoken often. seldom a,
length, and never without something to
say that commanded the attention Of the
House. He has been earnest. Logical,
courteous in debate, has taken broad
views, occupied progressive positions
and has been remarkably free from
those errors that are liable to overtake
a young and brilliant man when he
first enters the legislative arena.
Whatever may be his fortune in the
near or more distant future. his first win
ter at the State capital, cannot but be
considered a pronounced success, and We
are glad of IT,

The State House.

For fifteen years past the writer of this
has been in favor of an extension of the
State House at Augusta in such manner
As to give security TO the records, original
papers and documents In tina, building
and the very valuable State library. The
moment any move has been made to &C
complish this, during these years the cry
would be raised in favor Of moving the
capitol to Portland or Bangor
This year the friends of removal took
the initiative and made earnest effort to
work up a sentiment in favor of removal.
All went along swimmingly for time,
but the thing was overione, reaction set
in, and, taking advantage of this. the
senators, representatives. and many
prominent men of Augusta, kennebec
county, and most of the eastern and cen
trail portions of the State took hold with
will aud settled the question, once for
all, in favor of an extension of the pres
ent State house and of retaining the cspi-
tol II Augusta for af:y yeas- al least.
The strength Of the feeling among the
members of the branches was not fully
comprehended at first by It's most earnest
supporters. The resolve passed the
House by - to 81 and the Senate ny -
to 5. Only two senator's outside of York
and Cumberland voted against the resolve
but one other was paired sgainst the
measure, 80 that the vote really stood 20
to 9. with two senators not voting. Il is
useless 10 alege that so large vote Is
against the best judgments of the mem
bers.
Never was measure more thoroughly
discussed before committee or In the
branches. 1t is presumption to say that
members did not vote honestly and the
measure must be taken as the mature O.
piDion of large majority of the legisla-
ture. II constituents in any case do not
agree with members II is because they
have not had so good an opportunity To
learn the facts in the case as members
have.
The only trouble with this appropris.
ton is that it ought TO have been mad,
and the work ought TO have been done
fifteen years ago.
