Orders Of the Day.
Mr. Fairbanks of Bangor: Mr.. Speaker,
l rise to a question of privilege to explain
myself in reference to the bill known as
Senate document 1876, which is the Ban
gor bridge bill. am not satisfied With
that bill-thc people of Bangor are not
satisfied with it, but at this late time in
the session, it has been thought best that
no further effort be made to stay the hand
of the proceedings which have been taken.
| simply rise to state to this House that
have not receded from my position, but
believe still there is some objection in
that bill. So with this explanation, first,
that have never wished from the begin
ming to interfere with any rights which
may be vested in the bridge owners !;
second, that / believe the bill is too sweep
ing and gives too much power to that
corporation-I will take my seat.
On motion Of Mr.. Haines of Watcrville,
bill an act to amend section 81 of chapter
of the Revised Statutes, relating to ways
in unincorporated places, was taken from
the table.
The question being on the motion to
indefinitely postpone, the motion was lost.
The bill was then read third time and
passed to be epgr5ssed.

man who had guided this nation through
the strains of our Civil War
on the morning of that day
quietly breathed his last After he
had performed so great duties under ter
rible anxieties, and while We were about
to enter the era of peace aud happiness
where his wisdom and his influence would
have accomplished so pnuch toward recon
Citation without bitterness or revenge, he
was suddenly taken from US. He met his
death in q manner most abhorrent to
American people, at the hand of an
assassin. Expressions bf sympathy poured
in upon US from all parts of the world,
and tribute was paid to him greater than
was ever paid to any living man-and it
was not too great. A lapse Of 80 years
has taught us better to appreciate this
man and his deeds and has shown us
that the estimation formed Of him at the
time OF his d. ath was none too high. In
deed too muth has rsver been slid in
praise of this noble man. No
greater lover of liberty or
