State Bounty to Agricultural Societies

State Bounty to Agricultural Societies.
The changes made in the law regulating
tural societies by the last legislature, are
plainly stated in the article copied from the
oxford Democrat. The writer is Mr. b.
Walker Mckeen of Fryeburg, member of
the State Board of Agriculture, and most
intelligent and fair minded gentleman:
The Law in regard to this stipend as it
formerly existed worked manifest injustice
IN many cases. The provisions were about
as follows The law required an assessment
of one cent per capita for each inhabitant
throughout the State, 10 ne divided among
the counties according to their population,
except in counties over 1900 inhabit4rts.
In such counties the sum could not exec, i
500. If there was but one sncie'v in n
county, it got the full amount. 1t three or
more, they got no more. This work d. wi
IDENTIFY against the agricultural counties. IS
they are the ones Whlch support and require
the largest number of societies. Aroostook
county, with its vast area and small number
of inhabitants, has four incorporated socie-
ties, among which the email sum of 1872
was divided. Franklin county has three
societies and got sls2 from the Stale Pc.
nohscot county has three societies and 500
Oxford county, with two societies and ter
ritory enough for one more, S332. Pls-
| cataquis county, with three societies, got
Slis. Washington County with three, got
500. While Cumberland, Androscoggin,
| Lincoln and Sagsia1oc, with one society
each, got 500, s2+3 and S264. II will be
| seen Ghit there was no justice about this
me- hot of dividing the m.ney. After being
thus divided among the couGtIes, it was ap
| p0rtlOned among the socItties according 10
the total amount of their disbursements.
| The whole amount divided last year was
So 24l which included the amount pal The
S.ate Pumol1gical Society. The Board of
| Agriculture, at its last annual meeting took
| the matter up, and committee reported
| amendments shich have since been incJrpp-
rated IN the Law. requiring the money to be
divided amOrg all societies not otherwise
provided for, without any reference TO
county lines, each society getting its pro
portion according to the actual amount of
Iremiums and gratuities awarded. Oxford
County Society and the West oxford will
by this law, get as much money from the
state as though they were situated in differ
ent cOun'ies. By dividing the money
among the societies not other~ise provided
for, and not limiting any county 10 TIE sum

The senate was in executive session nearly
three hours this afternoon and was occupied
almost entirely considering the nomina alton
of Murat Halstead as minister to Germany.
Only five speeches were made, two by Hoar
and Spooner in support of the confirm alton ;
the others by Teller, Evarts and Payne in
opposition.
Teller read Halstead's famous letter to
Secretary Chase concerning Lincoln and
Grant.
Payne said that if the nomination had been
to Russia, with the proviso that the nominee
SHOULD go to Siberia and never return he
would gladly vote for confir nation.
Evarts' speech was long one and said to
have been emphatic in opposition.
Spooner said that if newspaper men were
for all time to come to be held to account
for the opinions expressed in the heat of
campaigns few could pass unscathed into
the golden realm of office holding
Sherman desiring to respond to remarks
made against Halstead, the senate adjourned
until l2 tomorrow, leaving the moti,.n still
pending on motion to reconsider yesterdays
vote on rejection During the afternoon
motion was entered by Plumb TO reconsider
the vote by which the nomination of Lewis
Woltiy as governor of Arizona was confirmed.
He said additional charges were made against
him relating 10 actions while revenue officer
