[concluded from yesterday's paper.] UNDER SUSPICION. Jamie’s examination—the preliminary examination they call it—took place on Tuesday. The magistrate heard the evi dence, and said that he must commit the prisoner to await the action of the Grand Jury. We might have got him out on bail, but there was no bondsman, for though Jamie had plenty of friends, they were all poor. The boy spoke no harsh words whatever. 'Twill make no difference mother,” he said, when I visited him in his cell, “for the jury is in session, and if they find an indictment against me I shall be tried in a few days. You have money enough saved up to live on these many weeks, and they may acquit me in the end.” “But Jamie," 1 asked, “what docs young Milward mean by his evidence? He has periured himself, has he not Jamie hid his face in his hands for a mo ment, then looking up he said resolutely: “I can’t answer vour question, mother, God must judge between him and me.” Then changing the subject—* Can you get me a lawyer, mother?” “Of course 1 can, and I will.” So after a little more talk 1 left Jamie, and sought the ofliec of Squire Garnan. A good man the Squire was, and an honest lawyer. When he discovered who I was, and my business, lie told me buntly that he did not wish Pi undertake the ease. “And are you afraid that I'll not pay you?" 1 asked. “Indeed sir, if it costs years of labor you shall receive every cent vou charge.” He smiled sadly. “-Vo, madam, ‘tis not the money," he said “hut 1 do not like to feel that the saving of anybody's life depends on my efforts.” “Idle!" I replied. “Would they hang Jamie “If found guilty in all probability they «ill," he replied. 1 scarcely knew what 1 said, but I beg ged and implored Mr. Canton to save the poor boy. At last he consented to visit him. “Ami if I am convinced of his inno cence," he added. "I will endeavor to ob tain his acquittal.” So the Squire went to the jail—(as I was told afterward)—and saw my son alone in the cell. “James,” said he kindly, “I want to know the truth in this ease.* My position as a lawyer and the rules of the court ren der whatever you may tell me now as a sacred secret. By acknowledging your guilt—if you are guilty— 1 shall be able to shape my defence so as to obtain the lightest possible punishment.” Then Jamie stood up boldly in his cell, and raising his right hand toward heaven, said: “Mr. Carnan, they may hang me if they want to; but I am entirely innocent of this charge, and 1 am willing to die with these words on my lips.” The lawyer looked steadily in Jamie’s eyes for a moment, and he must have seen truth written there, for he took his hand and said: ‘T believe you, Kiley, and I will defend you. Now tell me where you were last Sunday night “Well,” answered Jamie, “I spent the evening at a friend’s house in the northern part of the village. I returned home be tween eleven and twelve o'clock.” “And you passed the Presbyterian Church on your way?” “I did,” replied Jamie. “l'id you see any one in that vicinity “Yes, sir.-’ “Who?” “1 cannot answer that question, Mr. Carnan.'1 Then the lawyer sat and thought for a little while, anil itbout another word he left the cell, and went straight to his of fice nor did Jamie see him again until the day of the trial. Hut he was not idle in the meantime, and when I called on him once lie told me to he of good cheer; that he believed my son to be innocent, and hoped to clear him. Maggie Ilryan grew paler and paler day by day, ami it was little sleep she got nights. When the thoughtless villagers talked of Jamie's guilt her cheeks turned red, and her eyes flashed bright as the stars in heaven. The trial came oft'in two weeks—sad, long weeks they were to me; but I pray ed for strength, and 1 think the good Lord heard my prayers, and he gave mo.the power to bear my cross. A great crowd there was in the court room when the day came. Jamie was led in by the constable, and took his seat in the prisoner's box, as calm and collected as though lie had been sitting by the fireside at home. Mi Carnau was seated near Jamie, and his line face looked very serious, while ho showed by all his actions that he was deeply interested in the case. Maggie and 1 had a seat together, but we scarcely spoke a word during the prep aration lor the trial. We thought it would occupy the whole day, but it eame to an unexpected termination. Joseph Milward was the first witness called, lie told the same story that ho I had at Jamie's former examination. 1 remember the scene well. The District Attorney had asked the questions, and haviug finished, he said: “That will do, sir." Milward was about to leave the witness stand, when Mr. Carnan spoke up: i “We will cross-examine this witness.” i -Ob, what a cross-examination that was I And what an excitement there was in court. The old Judge dropped his spectacles, the District Attorney looked blank, the jury scratched their heads, and the vast crowd kept as still as mice, that they might hear every word. Mr. Carnan had ferreted out the whole case, and from the mouth of that witness he proved that Joseph Milward and his companions were the guilty parties, and they lk*.d been aided by many of the wealthy young men of the village, and 1 before be had finished, the District Attoi* 1 ney jumped up and said:

Hocal auto State “Netos. The city council will hold their regular monthly meeting this afternoon. The man who could not keep his feet sol'd his boots. The clock on the Baptist meeting house has stopped, lias it been “ordained" that ‘•time shall be no more. The first thunder shower of the season, on Thursday evening, purified the air, whicli had become quite sultry, and refreshed the spring ing blades of grass with a good drink. The large tank to supply the street sprink ler has been removed from opposite tile dye house to Market Square. The water will be taken by Devine’s inexhaustible watercourse. In lieu of a May-Day holiday the scholars of the high school voted yesterday to take an excursion down river some time during the heated term. The people all over the State are growing more and more enlightened on the subject of popular education. Large and beautiful school edifices are being built in several towns and cities. A fire broke out in the Norridgcwock House in Norridg.'wock, at about 5 o’clock this af ternoon, but was extinguished with hut slight damage. It caught from the chimney, which was burning out. The terrible calamity at Kichmond will un doubtedly furnish the theme for many pulpit discourses to-morrow. The most tender cords of human sympathy are touched by the sad event, and all hearts can but be effected by the distressing calamity. There will be divine service at the Granite Church to-morrow morning, afternoon and evening. The Lord's Supper will be cele brated in the afternoon. In the evening, the seats will be free, and the public generally are invited. The ship “Clara Morse” of Bath, owned by Hon. J. 1'. Morse, with a cargo of 3*0) bales of cotton from Savannah, was wrecked April lGth on the reef of the Bermudas, and now lies filled with water to her upper decks. Her cargo has been taken out in a damaged condition. Mr. Bigelow, County Supervisor, will visit 1’enobscot county on Monday, where he will spend two weeks in the institutes of that county, assisting Mr. I’lutnmer in his work. After the expiration of that time he will com mence work in the institutes of Kennebec county, in conjunction with Mr. I’lummer. Friend John D. Lang of Vassalboro’. one of the Commissioners on Indian appropria tions, will start for Washington to-day to enter upon the duties of his office. Friend Lang will make a valuable member of the Commission, as bis acquaintance with the wants of the Indian tribes is very thorough. One Sunday while a minister was liolding forth in the church, a crowd got up a cock fight in the yard. The people who had con gregated to hear “the Word" went out to put a stop to the fight, but waited t nt 1 the battle was over before objecting. 'J h minister looked out of the window- at the crowd and said: “We arc all miserable sinners. Which whipped?" Through the kindness of the commandant at the U. S. Arsenal, the Capital Guards of this city have been supplied with arms, for the purpose of perfecting them in their drill. It is understood that an effort will be made by Capt. Wyman to obtain breach-loading rifles for the permanent use of the company. The fine body of men composing the company pro pose to exercise in out-door drill during the next week, when our citizens will have an opportunity to witness their evolutions. We have already stated at some length tome of the reasons why the State Fair should be held in this city the next autumn. The matter conies before the City Council this af ternoon in a tangible shape. Tlic members will be asked to act upon the prayer of a pe tition numerously signed by our most substan tial and reliable business men, who are in fa vor of the small appropriation of goOn. jn or der to secure the show here. No one can doubt that this sum will be but a small frac tion of the money that will lie returned to our citizens by w ay of increased trade during the days of the F'air. It will naturally bring to the city a large and respectable class of the citizens of our Slate who are interested in ag riculture and mechanic aits. Every intelli gent man must sec that the holding of the F'air here will help the city many ways, and there fore we trust that the City Council to-day will jrant the small appropriation asked for. May-Day will not be divested of its roman ce charms or fail to awaken less of the old imc memories because it conies to-morrow, rhich is the Sabbath. There will be perhaps ewer parties organized for excursions into he woods, and the glad festivals closing with he triumphant crowning of the May queen rill be omitted within the sound of Sabbath lells. But many a weary, dust-covered me lianic, as he lay* aside his implements of oil this night, will call to mind the happy rlay-Days of childhood, when he breathed a lew life as he wandered over the green hills a search of the tiny', fragile plant that had ourageously struggled from its bleak prison nto existence, and which we have all agreed o call the May-flower. The care-worn city lcrchant will bless these stars of earth dooming in God’s garden, and remember with rhttt joy lie plucked them when life was ounger.

The Somerset Reporter savs the damage by the late storm in New Portland was consider able. The bridge across the Gilman Stream at the North Village was swept away. It lias been temporarily repaired. The bridge across the same stream at Mr. Parsons’ near Hast New Portland was also carried away. A bridge across a mill stream in that town, j emptying into the Carrabassct on the west i side, between Must New Portland and Anson was lost. The roads have been badly washed. A meeting of the Stockholders in the Ban j gor and Piscataquis Railroad is called for next j Thursday, May 5th. The purpose of the meeting, among other things, is to decide what 1 measures, if any, the Stockholders will adopt j to complete the construction of their road, and to determine what action shall betaken to protect the interest of tiie Company in the i matter of reference between said Company and the contractors for the construction ol the Road. The editor of the Journal had his attention attracted the other night by the sound of a fiddle, and the motions of figures in white looking like a masquerade of ghosts, lie found that it was a sheet and pillow-ease mas querade that had stolen “unbeknownest like” upon the quiet of a respectable citizen of that locality. The Chronicle says l'rancis W. Folsom, a j young man employed at Walton's mills, was seriously injured last Friday afternoon, while planing a bed-post. Something in the ma chinery became disarranged, the post flew and struck him in the abdomen inflicting a dan-j gerous and it is feared will prove a fatal wound. The Farmington Chronicle says Jonathan I’. Carter of Wilton, on his 87th birth-day walked one mile and a half from his home to! the brick school house w liieh w as being taken down, and cleaned 750 brick of lime mortar, j and returned the same day. To show that the j work did not use him up, the, next day he i traveled over the same route and cleaned 800. j The Herald says on Wednesday evening of last week a house near the Gas works, owned by Patrick Tirncy. was entirely consumed by tire. The sparks from the burning !.wilding set fire to a tenement house owned by Mr. Joseph Granger, and was considerably dam aged. Mr. Granger estimates bis loss ct $500. The Calais Herald says Messrs. E. A. Barn ard Son. have purchased the Foundry in that city, which was owned and occupied by Messrs. Whitney, Hamilton Co. Tin Foun dry in St. Stephen, owned by the same firm has been sold to Messrs. Wright i Mi I.augh litl. The Age says Mr. John Cochran of Belfast drove his steers down town Tuesday. They measure eight feet and weigh 4470 pounds. They are a very promising pair of steers, and ‘•Uncle John” thinks when they gi t their growth tie w ill match Waldo against Kenne bec, or “any other man." Albert A. Cluly, clerk in Savage's Hotel, Kenduskeag. was arrested Thursday of last week, by Marshal Wingate, on a charge of embezzling $500 from the house. Cluly was examined before the Police Court, and order ed to recognize in the sum of $000. The Journal says the Belfast skunk killer: is discounted by a woman in the neighboring town of Waldo, who recently slew seven of 'em with a pitchfork. The new Hotel at Eastport is to be opened for the convenience of the public on the 4lh of May. A dinner and a dance come off to celebrate the event. The pewholders of the Union meeting house in Milo, met on Tuesday, Pith inst.. to organ ize a parish or society, for the purpose of al tering and repairing said house. The citizens of Jay voted on the 21>t to loan the credit of the town to the amount of ten thousand dollars in favor of erecting a box factory at Jay bridge. The Belfast Age says the pews are now in j the Universalist church in that city and the j repairs are fast approaching completion. Xo pastor has vet been engaged. Quite a number of fishing vessels are being fitted out at Belfast. The fear of the Xew Dominion is not before their owners. Tno Somerset Reporter says that efforts in i that vicinity to enforce the liquor law in the I last two weeks have been successful. Cargoes of ties for the railroad have arrived at Belfast.

By the Western Union I.inv—OfTJres Granite Bank Building and the .>tate*Housc.l FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS. Washington. April 2D. Senate. The resolution from the House for a painting of General Thomas was re ferred to the Library Committee. Several petitions were presented. Tiie Committee on public lands reported favorably on tin- land grants to certain rail roads in Florida and the Oregon branch of the Pacific Railroad. Mr. Wilson introduced a hill providing for competition in the examining for Cadet ap pointments, and Military and Naval Acad emy. The Senate concurred in the House resolu tion appropriating $3,(MK) for experiments in ventilating the Hulls of the Capitol. The hills incorporating the Boston and; Washington Steamshjp Co. and authorizing the issue of arms for instruction and practice j to certain Colleges and l/niversities, were j passed. j The hill to pay the claim of 'ollanand Dickenson of Knoxville, Tenn.. was objected to by Mr. Trumbull, on the ground that it in volved tin.* principle whether the gov't should pay for the cotton used by our army in erect ihg fortifications. Mr. Willey sustained the claim and said the Senate had. just passed a precisely similar claim, and the only reason for its assent in the one case and its refusal in the other* was t that one claimant lived in Missouri and the! other in Tennessee. Mr. Fowler stated that Dickinson, one of! the claimants, publicly refused to take the oath of allegiance to the Confederate govern m.-nt. Mr. Trumbull said that it* the bill passed and involved the same principle as that now pending, it was equally objectionable, and! asked unanimous consent, which was granted, to enter a motion for its recall from the House. Adjourned. Horst:. Mr. Schenck gave notice of a mo tion to adjourn from Thursday next to Mon- day, to allow time to take up the carpets, and the House then proceeded to the business on the Speaker’s table, where twelve bills had accumulated. The Senate amendments to a resolution al lowing tlie sale ot certain lands to the Spring field, Mass. Armory, were concurred in. The Senate hill granting 940,000 acres of! public land in aid of the construction of the 1 Portland and Astoria (Oregon) Railroad, was opposed by Mr. Holman of Ind. 1k* said there were now nine ty hills pending appropri ating over two hundred and fifty million acres to build fortunes for crafty and unscrupulous men. and that at the present rate there would soon he no land left for homestead and pre emption purposes, for which over a hundred j millions were taken last year. He also read a remonstrance from the working men of New York against further absorption of public lands by railroad corporations. Mr. Sargent—What prevents these men of j New York from going out to the West andoc- j cupying these public lands? Mr. llolman—Are they not going at the rate of a million a year? Mr. Sargent—They only go where the rail- j roads have gone before. Mr. Holman also read a joint resolution of the Ohio Legislature instructing the Senators and Representatives to vote against further grants ot* land to railroad corporations. Mr. Roots of Ark. remarked that that was the legislature which rejected the loth amend ment. Mr. Wood of N. Y. corroborated the state ments of Mr. Holman, and said that while in Europe last year he found in Frankfort, Paris and London, representatives of the American railroad corporations borrowing money on the security of lands granted them by Congress, showing conclusively that those lands formed their only capital. Messrs. Sargent of Cal., and Fitch of Nev., j replied to Mr. Holman. The latter declared that the policy of railroad land grants had been prolific of great nation-1 al benefits, and but few abuses. It was not the homestead seeking, nor the man who proposed in good faith to become, a pre-emp tion settler, who helper! to swell the new horn clamor against railroad land grants. The man who proposed to obtain a homestead, would never build his cabin outside of the limits of railroad grants, if ho could find lands within those limits. The voice that made itself heard, crying aloud against the development of the country by means of rail road grants, was not the voice of the pioneer, it was the voice of political partizans, who saw signs of a tempest on the horizon, and were casting about for planks to strengthen their rival cockle shells Alter discretion of the region to be developed by the proposed railroad, he said that if these lands were to Ik* settled by settlers, they must he fur nished with cheap and rapid communication with tide water; if they would sell public' lands they must make a market for them, by making them aecessable; if they would have 1 railroads, either the grant must built them or I offer inducements to private capital; if by giving up half of the lands, they could sell the other half, and settle communities at all, it seemed to him that they would benefit the treasury, benefit the people, and benefit the settler. As to interfering with the Indians, he thought that the experience of centuries had shown that the Indians could not be do mesticated. It was time to demonstrate the idea that it was not necessary to continue their useless existence any longer.
