Jlailu jjfitnrfcft Journal. A UOL’S T A, THURSDAY MORNING, April 21. 1870. FOSTER BOMB INTERS8TB. A Massachusetts paper says it is estima ted that there are about forty-three thous and of the “Sons of Maine” residing in that Commonwealth, a statement which we think puts the fai t below the reality. That so many of the sons and daughters of Maine have left the State to seek a livelihood elsewhere does not speak very well for us. They are not to be censured of course for going abroad to improve their fortunes or get a living when they, have no opportunity or but a poor one at home. By all means let them go abroad j for remunerative labor when they cannot i find it at home, lmt if the State can help them to the means of living within its bor ders and does not do it then blame should be cart upon its shoulders. These thous ands of young men and women that go from Maine to Massachusetts are wealth to the latter State, while their exodus is poverty tons. They are found employed in all branches of business in the State to which they have gone. They are in cot t >n factories, shoe factories, stores, shops, schools, fields, vessels, banks, offices, everywhere that honest, faithful and ef fective industry are required. No better material for brain or muscle work goes to Massachusetts than that which she gets from Maine. It commands a premium in her markets, and lias its representatives in the front ranks of business. IIow many villages have been built in the Common wealth from Maine stock we caniTOt tell, but the number is not small. We do not regret that these children of our State have made themselves comfort able homes in the jdaees where they are settled, but we do regret that the factories and shops and other places of employ ment necessary to keep them at home had not been supp.ied as opportunity offered. If the men and women that have gone from our State during the last twenty-five years had remained and found employ ment in it. the amount which they would have added to the wealth ol the State, to! the value of tin- farms and manufactures, I to the number and appearance of its vil lages and cities, churches and schools, would have been as surprising as agree able. Wliat we need is active capital, capital from abroad, and associated capi tal where it may be organized and made useful. With this we need a spirit to fos ter homo enterprises and interests. The larrner may have no stock in a factory in his town, but he lias an interest in its suc cess if he understands himself. lie might buy his calico, silks and carpets cheaper in Boston than of the trader at his door, but the trader or mechanic must have a house and land and the products of the farm and garden, and thus the farmer finds it profitable to patronize and build up trade and industry in his own vieHiity, be cause lie thereby makes a market for him self. We must patronize home industry, j home enterprise where we can. Don't! grudge the merchant or mechanic the profit or wages which they fairly deserve, Take care of your own State and commu nity. Those who do this generally pros- j pet. _ AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITU TION. To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal: As other amendments than the Fifteenth have been made to the the constitution of the United States, I think it would gratify the public, if you would insert them all fh your paper—that we may understand wlmt is meant by the discussions that continue to occupy the newspapers, and which all the people ought to be informed about. S. We presume our correspondent does not desire us to publish all the amendments to the constitution, but only those in relation to the abolition of slavery and questions growing out of it, which are generally discussed at this time. The following are the amendments re-; ferredto: [Editor. Art. 13. See. 1. Neither slavery nor invol untary servitude, except as it punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist w ithin the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. See. J. Congress shall have power to en force this article by appropriate legislation. Art. 14. Sec. 1. All persons born or! naturalized in the United States, and subject I to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they j reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or ini- j rounities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its juris- j diction the equal protection of the laws. See. ‘2. Hepresentatives shall be appor- j tioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole nnmber of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. Hut when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for president and vice president of the United States, representatives in congress, theexceu- tive and judicial officers of a State, or the! members qf the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, I being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of j the United States, or in any way abridged ex- cept for participation in rebellion or other j crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State. See. a. No person shall be a senator or representative in congress, or elector of presi dent and vice president or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who having previously taken an oath, its a member of congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member ot any State legislature, or as an executive or ju dicial officer of any State, to support the Con stitution of the United States, shall have en gaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof Hut congress may, by a vote of two third# of each house, remove such disability. See. 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, includ ing debt# incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for service# in suppressing in surrection or rebellion, shall not be ques- j tioned. But neither the United States nor! any State shall assume or pay any debt or ob ligation incurred in aid of insurrection or re bellion against the United States, or any claim for tlie loss or emancipation of any slave but all such debts, obligations anti claims shall be held illegal and void. See. 5. The congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the pro visions of this article. Art. 15. Sec. 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any State, on account of race, color or previous j condition of servitude. Sec. 'J. The congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. GENERAL MEWS. ])r. J. G. Holland and family will return from Europe early in May. Ohio has (1,000,000 slicep, their annual profit being $10,000,000. General Fremont has been tendered a po sition of high rank in the army of the I’asha of Egypt. A survivor of the Wyoming massacre, in 1788. has just died in New York, aged ninety seven. Umbrellas with windows are the latest in vention. The windows are presumed tomake the umbrellas lighter. Louisiana owes $14,Ot-K).0t(0. The annual interest on the bonds “nominally outstanding” is stated to be $044,000. Public opinion in Austria is disturbed at the growing anti-Prussian tendencies of South Germany, tearing that they will lead to anoth er civil war. The answer to the latest question, “What is a house without a baby?” is, well, compar atively quiet. A marble statue of Hercules has just been found in the Roman cisterns discovered at ('onstantina (Algeria). It has been deposited in the museum of that town. A new Roman Catholic catechism is soon to appear, hearing the title of “Catechism of the Council of the Vatican.” There are over two thousand applications on file at the State Department for consul ships, nearly all of which are well indorsed. The coal mines of Takusuma, in Japan, are being successfully worked by Europeans. Up wards of one hundred tons n day of excellent quality are now raised. The Canadian expedition to the Red river, it is now said, will consist of ten thousand picked itten, two thousand militia, a steel bat tery ami a pocket brigade. The Emperor of Brazil has issued a decree prolonging until the end of December, 1870, tlte privilege granted to foreign vessels, of be ing engaged in the coasting trade of that country. Some of the citizens of New Bedford, Mass., are organizing a movement to obtain authority to surrender their city charter and return to town government. Among the 78 roughs who were caught at the prize fight in Connecticut were “Keddy, the blacksmith,” l’atsey Shepard, “Baby” Collins, a New York alderman and three oth er New York officers. St. I.ouis is suffering under a premature at tack of hot weather. The Kepublican ot the the 14th says that April has become unusually fervent, and glows with the warm nature of sensuous June. A French fleet has sailed from Hong Kong, China, at latest dates, to demand satisfaction for the murder of a French missionary by the Chinese at Szchuen. When last heard from, it wus at the mouth of the Noonsung river. Governors Fairchild of Wisconsin, Austin of Minnesota, Merrill of Iowa, and Harvy of Kansas, are in Washington urging Congress to make an appropriation for a canal between the Mississippi and Lake Michigan. Melbourne, Australia, is to have a mint. The machinery is said to be the most perfect made. Hitherto all Australian money lias been coined at Sydney. No silver or copper coinage is struck there. The receipts from customs and internal revenue have been very heavy this month, and Secretary Boutwell speaks encouraging ly of there being a much larger reduction in the amount of the public debt than usual. “To the parent whose son dies in infancy,” says the Louisville Courier Journal, “there must be something peculiarly soothing in the thought that, no matter what may be the fate of the child in the next world, it can never be come a member of a base-hall club in this.” The project of a union to be called “The United States of Southern Germany” is vig orously canvassed in some of the German journals. The kingdoms of Bavaria and Wurtcinburg, the Grand Duchy of Baden and the southern part of the Grand Duchy of Hesse are the suggested participants. Senator Saulsbury’s term expires on’ the 4th of March, 1871. Should the Republicans carry the Legislature of Delaware next fall, it is understood that Hon. George 1*. Fisher, recently nominated by the President as United States District Attorney, will he the Republi can candidate for the United States Senate. Judge Fisher is a native of Delaware, and proposes to resume his residence in that State. Senator Sprague of Rhode Island has writ ten a letter to one of his constituents urging the whole manufacturing interests of the North to oppose the effort to repeal, for one year, the duties on cotton and spinning ma chinery for the benefit of the South. He says that such a repeal would not only damage the machine-shop interest of the North, hut the cotton manufacturing interest as well which already suffers from over production. Mr. Caldwell, late American Minister to Bolivia, who now appears at Washington as Minister from Bolivia to the United States, claims that, according to precedents, he is en titled to he accepted by our government as such. Other governments, he says, have set examples, and our own government receives Blacque Bey, who is a native of the United States, as the representative of Turkey, and Mr. Burlingame was accepted from China without objection, We do not understand that anybody has been elected governor or senator, but we 1 learn that the fishes have a clear passage to the regions above on this river, and that smelts are quite cheap where they catch ’em. The late spell of weather is drawn out to an unconscionable length, but drawing it nut does not seem to improve its fineness. When men have long bonds or mort gages that would be worth twelve percent more if the late legal tender decision were not reversed, it is next to impossibly l or them to see any good reason for re-open ing the question. “Its agin human natur as Sam Slick would say. The good will of our neighbors of the Waterville Mail towards Augusta is (dear ly exhibited in their anxiety lest we be dammed. What better evidence is needed of their kind wishes for us. The Boston Post styles negroes fifteenth amendmenters. This is putting the ne gro into the constitution all over. WASHING TON NEWS. The tariff reformers hold a meeting to air their, ideas. An excursion to California is talked of, and a look at the Yo Semite valley. The Georgia bill, as it passed the Senate, with Mr. Pomeroy’s substitute, declares the present State government provisional, and provides for a new election and a new begin ning, so far as the legislature is concerned, next November. Dontrstir Xctoss. Proposals for building the bridge of the Portland and Rochester Railroad, over Jef ferson stream, about a mile from Alfred vil lage; also over Mousam river at Springvale were opened Monday. The contract for building the same was awarded to W. 11. Virgie, Ksq.. of Pamariscotta. The cost of wood work and material over Jefferson stream will be about §800; over Mousam river for the same kind of work the cost w ill be 8*1,000. The total cost of the bridge over Mousam river will be nearly §20.000. The length of the bridge will be 250 feet. It is to be built of hard pine and will be sustained by two abutments anil two piers with an iron cover ing. The bridge will be 45 feet above the water of the river. Work is progressing on the road at a rapid rate; men are at work on the 10th and 17th divisions within two miles of Rochester village. The Directors are about making arrangements for the purchase of iron for the track betvveeu Alfred and Springvale. The cars arc expected to run to Mousam river in July. So says the Press. The votersof Iiridgton Centre at a meeting held last Saturday, voted to unite the two v il lage districts. They also voted to raise $15, 000 for the purpose of building school houses. Two primary buildings to accommodate one hundred pupils each, are to be erected, at a cost of $5,000. Another building for the ac commodation of a grammar and high school is to be built next season. The purpose of this arrangement is to grade the schools so that pupils can finally receive suitable prepara tions for college. The Bangor Whig says w ork upon the new jail in Bangor, will soon be commenced. The Commissioners are causing the covering to be removed preparatory to pressing the work with renewed vigor. It is feared that a por tion of the brick work will have to be taken down on account of the severe cold weather last fall causing it to freeze and thaw. If so, the damage and delay will not be serious, and before winter Bangor will have one of the finest jail buildings in the State. We learn from the Home Journal that Wil liam, son of Zina Lewis, of South Gardiner, while playing with a pistol on Monday, bv some means or other, succeeded in discharg ing the ball through his left hand: smashing it up pretty badly. Dr. Hildreth took out several pieces of bone, and did it up. It is another warning against allowing children to play with fire arms. Tuesday night the Saco river was higher than for ten years past. Last week a portion of Joseph llobsons’s Springs Island Mill was undermined and fell over into the stream. The damage will be probably about §1000 to this mill. Water in the river is still rapidly rising, and much damage is feared at various points on the river. The many friends of Hcv. Geo. F. Stearns of Saecarappa, who was injured in this city a few weeks ago by being thrown from a car riage. will be pleased to learn that he has so far recovered as to be able to resume the duties of liis profession at Saecarappa. The Bates Manufacturing Company of I.ew iston used from Nov. 1853 to Nov. 1859. 81. 205.14C pounds of cotton, costing $8,887,133. The piiee has varied 12 cents in 1854 to $1. 10 in 18C0. A young man named Jackson, about 17 years of age, was drowned last week at Wash ington while engaged on n pond in rafting some logs to a saw-mill which was near by. The Unitarian Society of Kenncbunk vil lage have given the liev. Charles C. Vinal an invitation to become their pastor, and he has accepted. The new liquor law goes into effect nest Saturday—thirty days after the adjournment of the Legislature. John 11. Ilill has been re-elected City Mar shal of Biddcford, and Obadiali Durgin of Saco.

JLoral aitiJ £>tatc Ncius. Augusta people who took stock in the ice business have made their “cool thousands.” Monogram fans, tastefully designed in wood, are expected to be in style this summer! “Hail, gentle spring.” A smart hail show er gave variety to the three days’ rain storm. Anything for a change. linked rats are palmed off as baked rabbits. That’s worse than the “mystery” that gener ally invades the scantily of hash. The kilo, base ball and marble season has come, hut the prospect thus far has been very discouraging to the boys who engage in these amusements. l’arshnips that have been allow ed to remain in the ground all winter should be dug before they begin to put forth new sprouts. After this they become stringy and strong. The Ladies of the Free Baptist Society hold one of their pleasant festivals at the vestry of their church this evening. Refresh ments, icecream, (tc., will be provided. Ad mission free. We are happy to learn that Mr. A. 11. S. Davis, of tlie Farmington Chronicle, who has been in a low state of health for some time, has regained his strength, and is able to re sume his editorial labors. Cushing Holmes, we understand, have received a splendid lot of ha-s, which they are dispensing to their eutomers to-day. They always keep on hand a good supply of fresh fish. Messrs. Arno, Hodgkins Co., organ and mclodcon builders, of Gardiner, insert adver tisement in our columns. These gentlemen have, by the excellence of their instruments, built up a good demand tor them, which w e are glad to learn is constantly increasing. Those who desire one of these instruments can get at home one equally as good and much cheaper than by sending aw ay. From all quarters except the North pole, we hear that people are looking towards Maine, and especially the Kennebec for their supply of ice lor the summer. I'arties in New Bedford, Mass., owing to the small supply ami the consequent high price of icejn that citv. have concluded to import it from Maine. Come on, gentleman! If you want strong men, handsome women and thick ice, come down to Maine. Our despatches yesterday morning made us say that there had been a wash out on the Kennebec Portland it. K. at South Water ford, and consequent throwing of a ear off the track. The truth is that there has been no wash out ou the above road, nor any throwing of a ear off the track, nor is there such a place as South Waterford on the line. We believe that all this happened on the Portland Rochester R. R. Mr. Frank Palmer of Mod eration Village had his head badly cut and his arm slightly injured. Mr. Quinby, the Su perintendent of the road, was in the car and was slightly injured. A weli known railroad man and ex-govern or. a few days since was enjoying a quiet shave in one of the barber shops in this city, intending to leave in the next train that was then almut due. The locomotive whistle sounded when the operation was at _u! half through, and a person entering the shop in formed the gentleman that the train had just started from the depot. With hat and carpe t hag in hand, and a week’s growth of heard on one side of his lace, the venerable and re spected ex-governor started upon a run for the receding train. His situation was obser ved by the conductor, and although time, tido and railroad trains generally wait for no man, the engine was reversed and the half shaved individual taken on hoard, where lie was the observed of all observers. Our correspondent at Brunswick sends us the following items of interest; A Law Association has been formed among tho students of the Junior and Sophomore Classes of Bowdoin College, its members being composed mostly of those who intend to take the law as a profession. The object of the organization is the discussion of leg ;1 questions and the holding of Moot Courts. Its officers are J. G. Abbott,.President: A. B. Ayer, Vice President; and G. M. Whitaker, Secretary. The students have recourse to j quite a number of law hooks, which are con nected with the College Library, beside the use of a large law library which lias recent ly been offered to them by outside parties. Thirty-three students of the Medical Class will take their degree at the close of the pres ent term. Among tho number is Charles II. Greenlief of this city. Boland M. Peek, a member of the Senior Class of Bowdoin College, is in a very critical condition of illness at that institution. He was confined sometime since by an attack of lung fever, from which as yet he has failed to recover. The graduating class of Bowdoin College, numbers thirty members. Mr. John llersom of this city was almost instantly killed yesterday morning about nine o'clock, by being crushed between the plat form at the freight depot in this city and a moving freight train. For the purposes of convenience in loading and unloading freight, the platform of the freight depot is built about breast high, and in some places curves within a few inches of tho train. It seems tiiat Mr. llersom was crossing from Water street by way of a little avenue, and attempted to pass between the platform and the track. Just at this time the morning freight came along ami jammed Mr. II. within tile narrow space, rol ling him a little distance before his situation was discovered and the train stopped. Tho men on the train saw him just before the car struck 1dm. He was standing perfectly still, close against the platform, apparently think ing that the train, which was moving very slowly, would clear him as it passed along. A groan escaped hint on being struck, and as one of the railroad men took him from the track immediately after tho accident, bo breathed twice and expired. He was taken to his house and Dr. W. S. Hill called, who found that all his ribs were crushed and one of his arms broken. Win. II. Libby, Ksq., Coroner, immediately summoned a jury of inquest, who examined the body aijd in’vesti gated the circumstances connected with tin accident, and rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts. They also found tha no blame or censure or want of car- attachei to the railroad company or their employees Mr. liersom was about 65 years of age, ha lived a long time in this community, and hh death should serve as a warning and admoni tion to all. At a meeting of the Directors of th village schools, hold on Monday, Kev. C. T. Tenney announced that by reason of the additional burdens imposed upon him as member of the school committee, and other engagements, lie should he unable to serve longer as one of the Directors. The board was then organized by the choice ut Rev. Dr. Jos. Kicker ns chair man. and the following resolution adopted Rcsttlcedi That in view of the faithful ami conscientious manner in which the Rev. Mr. Tenney lias uniformly discharged the duties devolving upon him as a member of the board of Directors for the last seven year-. and ol tin. harmony and unanimity which have al ways characterized the deliberation- of the present hoard, we accept his resignation with deep regret. Subsequently Rev. Dr. J. F. Ring am was elected to fill the vacancy occasion* d hv the resignation of Mr. jVnncy. Mr. O. A. Robert son was elect* d principal of the grammar school, and all the other teachers were re elected to their respective situation- except that Misses Whech rand Church will exchange places. The election of Mr. Robert-on to the grammar school is no reflection upon the ef I ficiency of Mr. Whitney, who ha> acquitted i himself with much credit and gi\ :i entire i satisfaction during the short period hi has had charge of the school; hut in view of the fact that both grammar schools will he reunited under the charge of one principal a- soon as the lo w school house is ready lbr or*■ ipation, it was thought desirable to have a teacher of larger experience than Mr. Whitney. The grammar school scholars who have re cently been attending the Ki-nd.i street school, will at once be transferred to Mr. Robertson’s school.
