Two yards* of earth, and a marble bust Rearc d aloft from the common dust, And a hero’s sabre covered with rust, And the sunset’s splendor streaming around, And a thousand glories under the ground. Two yards of earth and the potter’s field, With the merciful angels alone to shield A murderer’s grave, a convict fled Into the future to meet the dead; And the rank wild grasses scattered around, And crimes and curses under the ground. Two yards of earth, and heaven’s air Fanning tlie lilies white and fair; And modest violets gathered around, And spotless virtue under the ground. Two yards of earth and a woman’s name, Whose life was woe ami whose death was shame. And the cold rain beating a naked mound, And a thousand miseries under the ground. Two yards of earth! O who shall say Whether of these is the better clay Oiod give us grace in our hapless round That leads to this kingdom under the ground! —Edgar L. Paxtov. THE RAILROAD OAUOE QUESTION. In the report of the railroad commis sioners of this State for 1S09, I notice the following remarkable statement: Page 17 of report. And yet in refer ence to roads hereafter to be built, it should be observed th:U the narrow yaugc is cheaper—cheaper in construction and in equipment than the broad gauge. The difference in the construction of the track is something, but in the equipment is very considerable—say from 10 to 1.3 per cent. And in capacity there is quite as much ad vantage of the narrow over the broad gauge as there is in the equipment. An engine of a given capacity will haul over a narrow gauge road, other things being equal, 10 to 1.3 per cent, more of freight than an engine of the same capacity will haul over a broad gauge."’ And it is fur ther said that an engine of the same ca pacity will haul 20 per cent, more upon a gauge of 1 ft. 10 in. than upon a gauge of 6 It. in width," &c. These statements are so remarkable and so utterly contrary to well established mechanics’ principles and the application of mechanical forces that some notice of of them seems to be required. There is no difference in expenses of making the excavation or embankment or bridges up on the two gauges in this State. The “dumps” and excavations are of the same widths in each and of course the same number of yards of earth is to be moved. The bridges are all built of the same width and bight, and of course cost the same. The rails arc the same, the cross ties arc now used on the two gauges in this State are one foot larger on the broad than on the narrow gauge, but this is not peculiar to to tue gauge, for some narrow gauge roads are now using cross ties of the same length. And formerly the broad gauge roads used cross ties of the same length as the nar row gauge, so that in the construction of the road way there is no difference in art. As to the engine of the same capacity of cylinder and steam power there is in the actual cost of each about $200 owing to the increased number of flues put into the boiler, and the increased iron used in the construction, out uuimcrs accustomed to make engines and cars for both the 5 ft. G in. and the 4 ft. 8 1-2 in. gauge, rarely make any difference in the price they name for building either; and the ears no difference in the price is made. The width of tlie bodies of the passenger cars being the same or nearly so, and of the box and flat cars only about 8 in. And, as to the “hauling” capacity of two engines of the same sized bodies, cylinder, length of stroke, See., one of which is 4 ft. 8 1-2 in. gauge, and the other 5 ft. 6 in. gauge upon a track of the same levels and curvatures, there can by no possibility be any difference unless known laws of mechanics are reversed in this particular case. The statement i s that the engine in each case, shall be the same in steam capacity and of course if the en gines are alike the weight upon the driv ing wheels resting upon the rails where the traction is created will be the same, and, as a matter of course, the hauling power will be the same. About this there can be no question. Whence then, comes this wonderful advantage or increased power of the narrow gauge engine? The trouble with this statement is not that any law of mechanical force is overturned or suspended, but in the want of accuracy in stating the facts which lie at the founda tion of experiments. After many years of observation upon all the gauges, the writer of this article has found no such advantages as are alleged. The great advantage for us as a State in one gauge over another lies in the facility alone with which ears w ith their iitftras's unbroken, can be sent from one line ot road to another. All other alleged ditt'er enecs are chimerical.

WA TSTE I- EGTSZA Tilt E, Abstract of (Iio Krnmrks of Mr« ^osc of Wlnterptn, motion of Mr. Ilarker to substitute the inijmrtly I jvtMirt of the Committee on Elections for the ioi,. v in tin' e i-e of Peter (.has. hcciom JrT \Vm f> k. in HOI’S* OF HKPKKsKNT ,VTIVK>, tel* Mh and 9tli. Mn. Speaker.—Up to the time the gentle man from Augusta (Mr. Bilker) rose to take part in this discussion, I had taken hut very little interest in this matter. I had not read a single paper connected with the case, nor examined the provisions the laws relative to the organizations of plantations. Nor had I any special interest on one side ortho other, than as a member of this House, whose duty it would be to vote upon the one side or the other a> my convictions of my duty under my oath of office should direct, which convictions 1 expected to receive from the facts and the law developed by the discussion. B hh the silling member, the gentleman from l oil Kent, or his contestant, Mr. kocg-in, so far ns this question goes I have no sympathy: both alike to me are strangers. 1 nprejndiced and unbiassed I enter into this discussem, seeking only to learn the simple facts and the law atnl express to this House my conclusions from these facts, which will be all the reason I can give for my vote. But when the gen tleman from Augusta rose, and I did not know up to that time that he was to speak on this question, nor what his views wi re upon it. 1 immediately put mysclt in the position of an attentive listener, knowing full well from my past acquaintance with that gentleman that if lie started with correct premises he would clearly and carefully unravel the mysteries and technicalities of what seemed to us a difficult puzzle, and bring us with him to an irresistible conclusion. And I well knew, too, that if his premise s should be incorrect we should be unconsciously led by his logic and his eloquence to an erroneous conclusion, and one we should at some future time, after more mature reflection, regret. Therefore 1 say I listened with a critic’s ear, and after wards sought with a student’s care, for the authorities he cited and the facts he alleged in stating his premises, so that if he had erred I might lie able to detect and expose that error anil the fallacy of his reasoning, as, I believe, I and every other member of this House is bound to do. Yet, Mr. Speaker, with all due respect for the gentleman as an older man than myself, for his legal attain ments, the reputation of which are not bound-1 ed by .county lines, for the soundness of his logic and his entrancing eloquence. 1 am com pelled to say that his premises were incorrect, his reasoning therefore fallacious and his con clusions wrong. And. Mr. Speaker, if I did not have confidence enough in myself to be lieve I could prove it I would be the Inst man on this floor to attempt it. Now. Mr. Speaker, how stands this case? The parties in this ease have been before the Committee on Flections. qml have had, as we suppose, a full and impartial hearing; that committee have reported to this House two reports, one in favor of the sitting member, signed by a majority of that committee, and the other signed by the minority in favor of the contestant. The majority report having precedence the motion now pending is that the minority report lie substituted for the ma jority rejiort, which, if it prevails, will seat the contestant. Mr. Keegan. Now. then, what are the facts in the report? and I take the reports as setting fortli all the taels. These—That there are four incorpor ated tow ns in the Maduwaska Representative District, viz Fort Kent, Dickeyville, Maila waska and Grant Isle, which cast tor Repre sentative at the la.-t September i lection, 331 votes. 2G7 of which were for I’eter liarles Keegan and 201 for Wm. Dickey, thereby electing Keegan by 7 majority: that these votes should all he counted is admitted by both reports. There were 7 other places in that district called by the name of organized plantations, which voted last fall, casting in ail 348 votes, 17!) of which were for Keegan and 170 for Mr. Dickey, a majority of 9 for Keegan, which, addidto the 7 majority in the four towns just named, gives Keegan lli ma jority. Now. why did not Mr. Keegan receive Ids credentials and take his seat in this House? For an answer 1 will read from Hut majority report. 2d page, 2d section. We learn from this that the votes of Cyr were rejected, 1st. because there was no evi dence of its organization, and 2d, no official return of its votes as required by the Statutes, were made to the Secretary of State’s office. From the minority report we find that Cyr cast 31 votes. 30 of which were for Mr. Kee gan and one for Mr. Dickey, as Keegan with Cyr had 10 majority, without it Mr. Dickey has 14 majority, and that is the explanation. The 31 votes east in Cyr Plantation were not counted for reasons found in the majority’s report. Now let u» look lor a moment nt the report of the minority, and learn why Air. Keegan is entitled to his seat. (Heads from minorty's report, first page, and resolve on fid page.) Neither report suggests fraud, but botli set up non-compliance with the Statutes. Then, Air. Speaker, to the Statutes we must go for the solution of our difficulty, and we must de cide either to hold all alike amenable to the strict letter of the law, or adopt the other principle, democratic to u letter, that in all cases free from fraud effect should be given to the choice of the people as manitested at the ballot box, whatever it may be, regardless of all technicalities. First, then, I will show what the inhabi tants of a township must do to become organ ized for election purpose; and. I said Ire fore, I have no interest in this case, hut for the right, I will read all the Statutes relative to this ease, and then proceed to show by the returns that C’yr is us legally organized as any plantation in the Aladawusku district. And 2d, which will follow as a matter of in ference that to reject C’yr you must reject every plantation which will not change the re sult, but scat Mr. Keegan by 7 majority. (Heads Revised Statutes, chapter 4, sections TO anil 71. chapter 100, section 2, 18,>9, chap ters 108, 1«, of them Joshua L. Chamberlain had lit, Franklin Smith 18, Samuel W. Collins 34, George Cary. 'J. And the candidates for county officers each had votes, and also Win. j Dickey, all purporting to be votes for Cover nor. Some would go for counting out honest votes for neglect of plantation officers. He argued that they did the best they could and he was not for disfranchizing the citizens of Cyr, St.fFrancis or any other plantation, but was for giving the gentleman who received the most honest votes his seat. It is said here that there is not the least evi dence of any such place as Cyr. We in Aroostook county known where it is, and can go there in the darkest night. We know that they are entitled to the right of having their representative in this House as much as any other plantation. The plantation of Cyr is not only recognized by the people of that sec tion but by all the departments of the State government. As long ago as 1803 when the government was calling for men to subdue the rebellion, the authorities knew of this place, though then known as “Letter L.” This place was called on to fill her quota of men for the war. Not only this but the Heads of Depart ment direct letters to the officers of Cyr, thus recognizing her. The government recognizes the plantation of Cyr when they want any thing, but when her pimple come here by their representative and ask to be represented, then of course there is no such place. He (Mr. S.,) recognized Cyr as much to day ns when she was called upon to help fill our armies. He was not afraid to talk politics. He had not forgotten the time when his town of seven hundred was called upon for men and furnished one hundred and forty-three to serve our country, forty-three of trliich went to their honored graves. During all this time when the plantation was doing all in their power for loyalty, a certain class of politicians were doing all they could to teach these Frenchmen disloyalty, and prevent them do ing their part in the war. This section has been the catup ground of scheming politicians imposing upon the ignorance of the people. Hut the people are gradually elevating them selves and want to be somebody. They have sent one of their number to this House for the purpose of ousting Mr. Dickey, for reasons which they can give. He has been sent here with a majority, and arc wo to set him aside ami install the “war horse of the democracy?" He should not be a party to any such proceed ings. Jle was for giving Mr. Keegan his seat not because he wanted to elect him but be cause the people of Madawaska had elected him. He was for having the majority of the vot ers of Madawaska. who ask to be represented here by Mr. Keegan, to know that the repub lican party of the House recognized their right to be represented here by the man of their choice. He was for breaking up this ring of politicians who have so long managed the political affairs of that district, making their records and returns and doing the best they can, through the aid of this confiding and abused people, to control the politics of Aroostook.

The House resumed the consideration of tlie contested election case, Keegan vs. Dickey. The question being on amending the report by substituting the minority for the mnioritv. Mr. Bonnet spoke briefly, and brought forward new testimony to show that the plan tations of Eagle Lake, St. John, and St. Fran cis, are not legally organized, and therefore not entitled to be counted. This, he said, would elect Mr. Keegan, even if Cyr is thrown out. Gentlemen of the House might adopt either horn of the dilemma they chose. If Cyr is thrown out these other plantations must be, anti Mr. Keegan is elected; or if these plantations are allowed Cyr must be allowed, and the result will he the same. Mr. IIuawn, of Oldtown, said: Ma Speaker:—By the courtesy of this House, I was upou the committee ou elections and carefully investigated this case. My convictions of right led me to conclude with the majority of that commit tee,—that Win. Dickey is rightfully a member of this House. Cyr Plantation was not counted, be cause it had no legal organization. I will not at tempt to add to the exhausting argument of the gentleman from Augusta upon this point. I have heard it stated in this House that the same objection that is made to Oyr must apply to other plantations. Such is not the fact; there! are two other plantations in the returns of which there are some informalities; but count them both out with Cyr, and the result is the and Dickey is elected. But, Mr. Speaker, it is not my purpose to go over the legal question so ably pre- sen ted bv the gentlemen from lloulton, Augusta and Calais. I rise Sir, because I believe the advo- i cates of Mr. Keegan upon this fl«»or, have done vi olence to the facts, and great injustice to William Dickey. I do not say that any of them have done so intentionally, but when the members of this House remember the natural inference to be drawn from some of the remarks of the gentleman from Stetson and especially the remarks made yesterday by the gentleman from Presquo Isle,— I think they will pardon me for rising here in my seat and add ing that I too atn a republican as well as they; that I have always been a republican, and, as a republican, have supposed that it was my duty to observe the laws, and pay proper respect to the rights of others. Why it was that that gentleman should seek to amuse party animosity and invoke party prejudice upon this question, is beyond my comprehension But it has been done, and if such argument is the best that Mr. Keegan’s friends can produce, I am not sorry to meet it; for, ^ir, if sym pathy and prejudice is to be excited hero, and this question is to hinge upon that, then tell me, fc*ir, who can bo more entitled to sympathy and respect in this case than William Dickey? I, Sir, have met him and his sons upon other fields, where dan ger was no terror to him or them. He sought dan ger for the relief of the suffering soldiers. He cared tor them when they were suffering and paralysed in the h confess, Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, that there has been an amount of work and zeal manifested upon this question that is beyond my comprehension. Doth parties tell us the constitu tion and laws of our State are in jeopardy; that the very foundations of the body politic are being broken up; that if Maj. Dickey is sent home ho and his family are everlastingly disgraced; if tho little Frenchman is sent back to his native haunts be will bo kilt entirely. Now, Mr. Speaker, I don’t believe a word of it, I have yet to learn that it is a disgrace to be beaten in an open, fair, stand up eleotion fight If my friend Dickey goes, he takes with him, as I believe, the friendship, good will and esteem of every member of this House If Mr. Keegan has leave to withdraw, he will have the satisfaction of know ing he ba* made hurts of friends, and will undoubt edly go into tbs fight next fall with renewed vigor, and if returned next session will come up hither with all these little un pleasantries removed clean and fresh from his people. M*j. Dickey is not the man I think him if sent where the “woodbine twineth” and the smoke and heat of battle has cleared away, and, becoming cool and calm, ho will say in his inmost honest heart “let justice be done though the heavens fall.” No member of this House knows which way I am to vote on this question. I retain this as a secret, fearing that uiy late misfor tune, the wound honorably received in tho service of my State, might have undue influence, and from my little experience in legislation, I have becotno fully satisfied that the great obstacles we as legis lators have to oombat is prejudice, bigotry and the ory of mad dog, sometimes by designing individu als to warp our honest judgments. Now I would advise that each for himself and neither for the other make up his verdict calmly, dispassionately and firmly; do right and the reward will follow. Mr. Baker replied to Mr. Bonnet. Mr. Hume moved the previous question, which was put. it being to amend by substi tute the minority for the majority report.

A greater portion of the morning hour was cousumed by Mr. Scott, in refuta tion of the theories and stat istics of the special Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and par ticularly as to cost of the manufacture of pig iron. i Upon the expiration of the morning hour Mr. Trumbull said be desired to call up the Mississippi bill. Mr. ltamsey made an effort to bring before the Senate a bill to abolish the franking privi lege, remarking that he had been instructed by the postal committee to urge its immediate consideration. Mr. Morrill, of Maine, being awarded the floor, called up the bill making appropriations to supply dcficienccs in the appropriations to the naval service for the present fiscal year. He explained that the bill was intended to en able the Navy Dep’t to meet the exigency of the public service, and that the amount appro priated had been reduced to the lowest figures consistent with the interests of the govern ment. I Mr. C'ragin submitted an amendment to rc strict the expenditures of money, providing materials for carrying on the work, and pay I the employees and bureaus for which it was appropriated, which was agreed to, and the bill was then passed.

Scmwck’s Skawikd Toxic for the cure of Dyspep sia and all the Debilitated Conditions of the Stomach. Da. Schsnck’s Mandrake Pili s for Diseases of ths Liver, or to act as a gentle Purgative. All of these three medicines are often required In curing Consumption, though the Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many desperate cases. The Seaweed Touiic and Mandrake Pills assist in regulating the Stomach and Liver, and help the Pulmonic Syrup to digest and search through the blood vessels, by which means a cure is soon effected. These medicines are conscientiously offered to the public as the only safe, certain aud reliable remedies for Pul monary Consumption, and for all those 'm<rbid conditions of the body which lead to that fatal disease. Liver Com plaint aud Dyspepsia are often forerunners of Consump tion, and when they manifest themselves they require the most prompt attention. The Pulmonic Syrup is a medicine which has had a long probation before the public Its value has been proved by the thousands of cures it has made through a period of more than thirty-five years, in all of which time 1U reputation has constantly increase*, and the most ob. stiuate skepticism can no longer doubt that It is a remedy which may be used with confidence In all cases which admit of a cure. If the patient will perseveringly follow the directions which accompany each bottle, he will certainly be cured, if his lungs are not too much wasted to make a cure possi ble. Even in cases supposed to be incurable, when friends and physicians have despaired, the use of this medicine has saved the life of the patient, and restored him to per fect health. Dr. schenck himself was cared In precisely such cir camstanees, and many other* have been equally fortunate by judiciously making a timely use of Dr. Schenck’s remedies. I)r. Sc he nek does not say that all cases of Pulmonary Consumption are within the reach of medicine, but he emphatically asserts, that often when patients have the most alarming symptoms, such as a violent cough, creeping chills, night sweats, and general debility, even to such a degree that they are obliged to lie in bed, and when they are given up by their physician, they may still be cured. No medical treatment can create new lungs, but when the lungs are very badly diseased, and to some extent de stroyed, a cure may be effected by Dr. bchenck's med Also, in Scrofulous diseases these medicines are equally efficient. Dr. Schenck has photographs of a number of persons who have been nearly covered with running sores, and now all healed up. This shows its purifying properties, which must be doue to heal cavities in the lungs. In the treatment of Consumption, it is of the utmost importance to give vigor and a health tone to the system, lienee it is necessary to strengthenthe appetite of the patient and improve the digestion. Proper nourishment is required, together with such mean as will make the food easily digestible. The articles most suitable for the diet of consumptive patients are designated In Dr. Sehenck's Almanacs, which are distributed gratuitously. In general, the most highly nutritious articles are to be preferred; but the digestive organs must be strengthened in order to make either food or medicine serviceable. This requirement is met by the Sea Weed Tonic, and for this purpose it was designed. When the digestive powers are put in good order, the food has its proper effect, the system of the patient Is In vigorated, and the lungs begin to exercise their functions in a normal and healthy manner. Then the healing powers of the Pulmonic Syrup will complete the cure. Pulmonary Consumption is almost always complicated with Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint. Schenck s drake Pills are intended to remove obstructions from ins liver aud restore its healthy action.

The perpetuity and supremacy of the Union, as the guaranty of our nutional strength and glory; the Independence of the States, in all their local aflairs, as the guaranty against an oppressive and dan gerous centralization: the Freedom and Equality of the Individual, without regard to birth or accident, as the rightful end of all government, and the surest means of social development, personal happiness and national progress. These principles the Evening Post will support and recommend to the people, without regard to pnrtv associations.

Its agricultural, ship ping, market and other reports shall be as trustworthy and complete as industry and the expenditure of money can make them.
