For a trump to wilfully or maliciously injure a person or the property of another, he may h«- impusotied at hard labor not more* than five years.

(hi motion of Mr. Vinton of (’iifiihcrlAiid. bill an net limiting the allowance for travel and attendance to parties recovering costs in the' courts of the State, w as taken from the ta ble. Mr. Vinton then submitted an amendment, striking out all after the enacting clause, and providing there* shall he no allowance for ceists for travel and attcnelnnce in any court e»f the* State*. He supported bis amendment sit some* length, urging that it was not a joke* but in troduced in all seriousness, and that if the bill whs intended for a reform measure it ought to be* made so entirely, a* bis amendment would make it. Mr. M \me.an of Aroostook se*e*ondeel the ide as of Mr. Vinton. Se*nate* refused to accept the* amendment of Mr. Vintern. H voting in the* affirmative* and 10 in the negative. The bill was then ordered engrosscel. On motion of Mr. Hoorn* of Sagadahoc, the* salary bill was taken from the* table, the question then before the Senate be ing upon tin- amendment of Mr. Thom\* of (’umbe r land. that the* railroad commissioners be* paid *.r» pe*r elav for actual service, ami by the* rail roads where the* services are rendered. Mr. Ki.i.is of Waldo, said that this portion of the bill was well discussed before* tlu* committee. He* was not satisfied that the* railroad commissioner* were necessary, but if they were, they were* intended to protec t tlu* safety of tlu* travelling public. Such be ing the* e*asc it would nt see* reasons tor the* fear* of the Senator from Waldo (Kills). Mr. Pattkn of Penobscot, said that lie won hi be* a* willing to ride* over the railroads without commissioners as with them. He re* c*alled the sad accident near Bangor, a fevy years ago. caused by tlu* giving way of a bridge*, emc which had boon examined but three days before by tlu* Railroad Commission er*. He should vote for the anie*ndme‘nt be cause* it would save* tlu* State* 81.'»0el. Mr. Rohkkts of \Ynblo, seconded the* re marks of tlu* last speaker relative to making a saving to the* State, lie* believed in the* in tegrity of tlu* present hoard of commission ers, and that the (iovernor, if any vacancy should occur, would name men whom all eemld trust. Mr. I iiowvm of umlit rlano. said that the accident alluded to hut proved that the com missioners were only men. lie believed that accidents were les-* when such officials exist e I than when they did not. The accident occasioned by the breaking nt' that bridge* cost the railroad thousand* and thousands of dol lar*. So that the railroad companies were ns interested as other parties to have good and careful men appointed by the State. Not only was it the duty of the commissioners to look after the engineering department of the road*, hut other matters had to he attended to by them. The matter of settling the ques tion of crossings required them to act as ref erees, and why shouldn't tlu* companies pay them for their services then? Questions relative to freight might come lip, ami why shouldn’t the railroads pay for their labors then? The Senator from Waldo (Kill*) begged the whole question and blotted out eighteen years of experience. Facts fa vor tlie amendment, w hich, if adopted, will save 81500. The Senate then voted to adopt tho amend ment of Mr. Thomas. Also the House amend ments giving the Hank Kxamincr and the In surance Commissioner 8IMKI each. Also the amendment giving the Agent of the Penob scot tribeof Indians 8200 a year. Mr. Atwkix of Penobscot, submitted an amendment providing that the clerk hire in the Adjutant General’s office should not ex ceed £800, instead of 8500 as the hill provided. He then •Idressed the Senate in support of his amendment. He said that the idea in his motion w-a* no pet scheme of Ids, either for I himself or his friends. He believed that tlu* clerk hire in the Adjutant General's office to he entirely inadequate for the duties which had to be performed there. The cut down in the office is from 81800 to 8500. He thought that this sum would not secure a clerk whose experience and business qualification* suite*! him for the place. The amount of business in the office wa» very large, i >n one point alone there were received and answered more than 2000 letters according to the latw report of the Adjutant General. The State Pension department is in this office and he trusted this would not be crippled. There arc also con tinual calls for information with regard to all the varied interests centered there. But I 1 retrenchment being the order of the day, we are as willing to retrench as any member of this Legislature, where it may he done with out vital injury to the department. He of fered the amendment proposed, thinking a less sum would impair the efficiency of the office to a great degree. Mr. Kobk.kt* of Waldo, supported the amendment of Mr. Atwell. He w as satisfied with the proposed change in the hill, hut would have been more so if the sum wu larger. lie had no doubt the committee had considered the matter well, but he could not see why they had reduced the clerk hire in this office so much. Ilia knowledge of this office was that it was worked harder than any other department. He always found Oen. Cilb»y at his jaist. and his clerks at their work, and not at leisure as they were in other offices. In this department there w as routine work to lie done every dav. He did not wish to see this office crippled and he j did not believe the House did either. The j committee could not have thoroughly investi gated tlie business carried on in the Adjutant (veneral’s office. Inferring to the pension de partment, he said that it lielonged to the soldiers, and that not a day passed hut that I letters cairn* from them seeking Information regarding their pensions or other matters. However poor they might he they c ould not afford to cripple an office which belonged to the soldiers of Maine. Mr. M nun a n of Aroostook agreed with the !«*t speaker that they were not bound hy w hat the House did. As be urged yesterday in the debate ovei the Judge's pay, honest labor should have fair wages. He was glad to see the Senator c ome to his view. The eJerks in the Adjutant (ieneral’s office earn all they get and more to. The Senate refused to adopt the amend ment of Mr. Atwell. Mr. I*hin» i of Androscoggin, submitted an amendment to the1 portion of the* bill relating to the pay of night watchmen at the State House, providing they should he paid $40u instead of per annum. He supported bis amendment, while' Mr. Mnma of York, opposed. And the Senate refused to adopt it. The* Senate then adopted the hill in full as it c ame from the House, no change* having been made in it. except by the amendment of Mr. Thomas of Cumberland, relative to the* pay of Kailroad Commissioners.

$atlp JSeunebft |aurn;il. Augusta, Thursday Feb. 13. 187?. Revolutionary Me asure'. The proceeding' of'the congressional democratic caucus last Monday evening, were of a character so revolutionary that Mr. Bayard made a notable speech in op position to the measures proposed and adopted, contending that they would alarm the Northern section of the country. 1 lie proposition was to attach to the Sundry Civil Bill a section repealing the Jurors’ test oath, and another repealing the Fed eral Supervisors" law. ThF was agreed to, ami it was further agreed to stand tor the repeal of these measures, even it it resulted in the defeat of the bill. The purpose of this is to throw down the legal safeguards to fair elections in the South, and give the democrats tree course in their fraudulent and violent methods of run truling the suffrage. If the republicans oppose the repeal proposed an extra ses sion of Congress will be necessary topa-s the legislative bill, and the democrats will at once enter into possession $.>00 bond and amounting altogether to lioo, missing after Mr. Barron’s death. Dr. Warren's attention was first directed to the matter ot 92000. He found that on the 2d of July. 1*7/1, Mr. Barron drew his per sona! note for 92000, payable in five years, with interest at 7 per cent., in favor of the Dexter Savings Bank, and assigned a life in surance policy for 95000 in the Berkshire Company of l*itt*fleld, Mass., to the hank as collateral security for the note. A memoran dum on the back of the note explained that this transaction was intended to secure the bank, in case of Ids death, from any loss up on loans by the hank, hut added that he did not then know of any loss likely to occur ex cept on railroad bonds and on a certain mort gage. which the trustees had advised, and for which the y were responsible as well as him self; but. he said, they were not under pay, and if any loss was incurred he w ished the note to make it good. Tlie trustees of the hank knew nothing of tlds generous act, until the note and the in •nrance jiolicy were found in the safe after Mr. Barron's death. Some time after the note was executed, it appears to have occurred to him that he had no right to omit this item from his sworn statement of the assets of the hank, and he added 92bo at.rdingl v to the loan account, at the same time a Iding **2'sin to the reserve fund to balance the account This was correct, since the bank was reullv so much the better off than bad previously appeared. The record of this transaction. Dr. Warren says, t* not the record of a defalcation but of a gift to the hank. A* to the missing cash Items, the explana tion is easy and natural. The treasurer w as murdered by robbers. What would lie tie natural inference shout missing cash 'f That the tliiesras took it. it i» a perverse ingenui ty which endeavor* to show that the murdered man robbed tiie bank. Not only this sum of about 91IHHI was missing. Imt a large pocket book belonging to Mr. Barron and emu.lining about $1100 of US* own money. The extra ordinary lir|aitlie«is lias been darted that lie daatruyed tills pockvt-bo'di him**!?—burned it, in order to “cover Ills tracks Tie plain •lory ap|H-ar« upon the surface of lie .flair The treasurer, who. three years before, had voluntarily secured the hank from |r. I.inderman. late Director of the D. S. Mint, in his report for 1472, recom mended its coinage for the following reasons The Mexican dollar weighs 417 IV17 grains, and contains 477 1-4 grains of pure silver. The Japanese yen weighs 41b grain- and eon tains 4,4 4-10 grains of pun'silver. The standard silver dollar of tiio 1’niteil State otilv weighs 412 1-2 grains, and contains 471 grains of pure silver, and lienee came I in ns a had third in the Chinese market. Dr. I.inderman thought that a somewhat heavier coin would help us to dispose of some of our surplus silver. Therefore. In order to com pete with the Mexican dollar and the Japanese yen. the trade dollar was coined, weighing 420 grains and containing 474 grains of pure silver. The project proved a success, for about thirty millions of the trade dollars have been taki n by China, etc., during the last six wars, while the total coinage of standard silver dollars from the foundation of the gov ernment up to last year was only between eight and nine millions. I have seen no report of any action by Congress regarding the trade dollar since 147ti, but if there is any, bring it on! M. State Agricultural C ollege. To the KJ it or of the Kennebec Journal: “We talk a great deal about the people, the dear people, and about education and the general di flu .'ion of education, and the educa tion ot the 111bnuld not be indignant at the Miuiul oi weighty taxation" that is in the air and that has reached hi# ears, for it may he but the echo of his own voice coming hack to him since election, nor should he he startled from his propriety, though now un pleasantly, ••economy seems a necessity” and though it be even said sometimes that the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Art* Ini' nothing to expect from this legislature.” ••What do gentlemen intend, by this sweeping declaration; nothing to expect from this leg islature Do they imagine that the (>oth# and Vandals arc upon u# exclaims lie w ith ind'urnant cmnhasi*. No! No! This taunt lacks historic truth and it w ill not intimidate. It was not the (iotlis and Vandals w ho stood at the palace doors of the (Vsurs to guard their treasures, there wa re other custodians there as here. And the men who to-day stand vigilantly at the doors of the treasury of our State to guard and to husband its revenues, have no Vandal taint upon them. The (iotlis and Vandals of old a* now*, belonged in tin* north, and they may come down now as then to sack and plunder, but now as then, the w atchmen upon the towers w ill give the alarm and the citadel will he true to its trusts. This college lias now been in operation ten years, and the State has donated to it. Mr. MaUigan says, $180,718. Hut the other colleges, Howdoin, Colby and Hates have received in all from the State, only $34,988.89 and 07,120 acres of land, \iz. Colby two half townships and $14,3(8), and Hates 44,080 acres of land and $20,489,89 in money. Howdoin has been debarred from any grant or endow ment by the proviso of the eighth art. of the constitution. She received, however, for u few years a portion of the then hank tax. under article I section 7, of articles of separ ation from Massachusetts. Howdoin, Colby and Hates have now, therefore, to support themselves. They usk no annual subsidy from the legislature. They levy no contribu tion upon the tax-payers of the State. The tuition of students and the interest from their small endowments supports them, aided by ktho contributions of benevolent lriends and tbe more or less active co-operation in their behalf of the religious denominations they respectively represent. And why should tin State assume the maintenance of a college end mod. and so well, by the general govern in* (it. in opposition to these so old and so good, with its course of studies, not confined according to ils foundation, to agriculture und nndomic*, but every year growing more like and aspiring to be equal to the curriculum of of these older institutions? Win not the State College take the interest, some $.*\0no, upon it* endowment of $131. 294.47, and charge tuition to the students, and then limit its instruction muinly to agri culture and the mechanic arts, as intended in the grant of Congress? It would then have funds enough, every year increasing, as the usefulness of tin* institution should he more appreciated, w ith the buildings und lands and appliances it now lias, to do a great ileal of good, and w ithout impairing by rivalry ot studies or gift of tuition, the efficiency of the other colleges. Mr. Madigan gives what he says is a care ful appraisement of the college property, made two years ago. at 8140,031—much has been added since. Adding its endowment fund of $131,294, we have $271,323 as its i means of •.upport, to be further increased with leave of the legislature by the tuition of the students. (Vitainiy the college whose special ty of instruction is agriculture and mechanic* will have friends like the other institutions of 1 tin State, and they will not let it die with* these means of its ow n in hand to sustain it. It lias done good, it w ill live to do greater good. \nd it will grow up the hardier because not in the shade of Slate dc|x-ndenee, hut with j “lit subsidy, self-reliant, and in the sunshine of popular favor. Mr. Madigan holds up one portion of the jxoplo in invidious contrast to another, and would excite the jealousies of classes. Kor j getting himself at times, his appeals assume the tone of exultant threats that has the ring of other arenas than that of a legist ive com mittee. lie exclaims “llnveyour industries no claim, tin* working men and their families none? Perhaps the friends and advocates of this Institution deceive themselves. Perhaps the tens of thousands of the sons of the so called working lasses of the State, should be cut of! und shut out from the benefit* in tended for th«-m, I#v the education and infiu nee on their future of this Institution, per haps not." Such appeals to agrarian prejudices may effect the purposes of their utterance at the moment, hut they will infuse it poison Into the institution thut will wither und blight its pro.«]x*cts in the end. And Mr. Madigan could not close without 1 an appeal, certainly not ingenuous if not jcsuitical, to tlx* “working classes of tlio State." and witli Communistic fervor he ex claims "The mS'Ses are not here in per son they are at tliblr homes, in the valleys and on the hill-sides. Yes, they are here in vou, they sent yon here, confiding to you the welfare of themselves and children. I.et not the word po back to them, by press and w ire, that they are adjudged only worthy to he mere “hew ers of w ood and drawers of w ater.” Now will it benefit the cause of education to array one class of citizens against another? Or to claim rights amt privileges for one man's son that you do not accord with grace to another? Are not all men equal before tile law? And is it wise to mould our institu tions in conflict w ith this gospel of our faith and of our Mate? The State is the mother of all, as well of those so unfortunate as to bo bora rich as of the poor, and her blessings descend like the rains alike upon the rich ami the poor, and she recognizes no masses w ith exclusive rights, nor classes, nor sects, nor rich nor poor, as entitled to discriminating favor or disparaging neglect. All stand alike upon the broad plane of her equal protection and are. X. V. U. Legislative Proceedings. (Continued from first page.) HOISE. Weunesdat, Feb. 12. Prayer by the Chaplain.

Now let u» look at this reformer's statement which has been copied into the democratic sheet here, and see if this is not a wild goose Chase.

If the correspondent of the Argus will east his searching eye over the hook he refers to, he will find it full of erasure's.

Then1 were several young people gath ered in Mrs. Martin’s "parlor.' Probably there was not .another old latlv in London had such u "parlor.” From the long deep windows, the sloping walls, the low ceil ing, aud the chirping of birds, to say noth ing of the scent of wall-flower* and intt*k. one fancied one’s self in the ground-floor apartment of some quaint country cottage. In fact, it was a room on the topmost story of a grand old house in an old city square. In that house Mr* Martin had spent tin last happy married days of her early womanhood, and there it was her wish to remain til! she died. The house was far too large and too costly for a widowed woman’s sole occupation, and she bail retreated up and tip. untill she had reached a solitude and a silence which the occu pant of many a country High street m ght have envied. A perfect curiosity wa.* her little habitation, its walk* covered with pic ture*, its corner* bright with dainty “Id china, it* whole replete with every simple comfort. The old Indy herseli rarely went out now. but she did not lark visitor-. There were some with great natnf and great powers, w lio. in the «r!d el la limn, found no temptation to forget their old friend and there were many more, bright, sauev lads, and sweet, enthusiastic girl*, who found with her a refuge .aud a rest, where they could flutter their incipient wing* safely and happily 1 can only remember that, at that time, some great trial wa* running it* eour*c, I anil all England was eager for tie sight ol the evening patient, which one ut it- had brought in, and the contents . a--i-t the I..gi*la titre in managing it- inland fisheries mu-t 1 have rr d a ripph of merriment among the tin idt.T- of that body. (In i i hi-insinuations deserves a moment utteiiti a.

Cutting up chub and throwing them over board in deepwater to attract large trout and then trawling across the plan* with two hun dred feet of line attached to a minnow bristling with books, i* not regarded a* fair angling, cither by sportsmen or the Keviscd J Statute*. Neither Messrs. Blanchard o j Brackett have given n* any new light on this subject. and I will not eon-umc time in any I further reference to their positions. Brack- I ett's ego,* i in generally lends him into sub- j stitutiug personal abuse for fair discussion, and neither hi- opponent nor hi* subject are likely to receive annihilation at his hands. The subject of the proper close time for j trout i* n very important one. and not to be I legislated upon without careful consideration. Different localities require different laws. 1 Connecticut mid Maine cannot be subjected successfully to the same treatment. Latitude, ami the character and teiii|»ern turii of the water have an important hearing, and it is well to solicit the disinterested opin ions of fi*heriucn, us helping to solve the question. We have gentlemen in Maine who have made a careful and exhaustive study of this subject men of good sense and judgment, whose opinions are authority, and to whom i the State lias delegated the care and protec tion of its inland fisheries, who are actively assisting u- to procure the legislation for which we have petitioned.
