James Maine which explains itself and needs no extend ed comments by us. It is so direct, unquali fied, and manly, that it cannot fail to com mend Itself to the Republicans of Maine, while it must elevate him in the esteem ol nil his mo*t thoqghlfnl and sincere friends. He is evidently correct in his judgment that L-iiTnm-“““*'“-‘ beyond liis com re I rc quire this public declaration of his posi tion in respect to a question which is ol deep concern to his constituents and i eliciting no little unprofitable discussion throughout the State. In declining tin use of his name against Senator Morrill he has not only discharged a generou; duty to his distinguished friend, but in lias taken the exact course of a man o honor, who desires the harmony «iiuil sue cess of his party because ho believes it principles arc of vital importance b the public weal. It is in no respect disparaging to the abil ity and high public character and reputa tionof Mr. Maine, that lie so eraphatical ly forbids the use ofhismimeto embarras the re-election of one who is so justly dis tingitwhed in the national councils, and si endeared to the people of Maine as IIox Lot M. Morrill. For years both o these gentlemen have been favorites o the citizens of Kennebec and of a large will prosper, but refusing to do it she will go backward until neces sity drives her to see her folly and reversi her steps. Mr. \V. 1L West, cjiief tlirk of the Treas ury Department, Till retire from that positloi on the 1st of May. This gentleman has heei connected with the department lor thirty years and will continue in office, lmt will he assign ed to other important duties w ith wliicli he i familiar.

C., April 28th, 1870. j To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal: 1 have received within the past year numer ous tender# of support from leading and in fluential Republicans of our State for the position of tT. S. Senator. I have neither j accepted nor declined these generous proffers. and have refrained front all correspondence i on thu subject. But it appears to me quite evident that my I candidacy for the place, even if it should re sult in my election, would tend to produce discord among those who have heretofore been friends, and might possibly mar the harmony l of tlu- Republican party in Maine. Sincerely attached to the principles ot that party, and i desirous of its success far beyond any mere personal advancement, I deem it my duty to say, thus early and thus publicly, that my i name will not be presented to the next Legis lature as a candidate for I'nited States Sen ator. Very truly yours, .1. ltl.AlNK. THE RICHMOND CA L\ 1S TROPIIE. I The particulars of the Richmond catas trophe arc given as follows in the New York i papers Such was the intense interest felt in the de cision to he rendered hy the State Court of Ap peals in the Mayoralty case that hy 11 o'clock a. m.. a crowd of eager citizens filled the court room, winch is located on the upper floor of I of the Capitol building, on the north side, and immediately above tlie hall of the House of Delegates. The room is about 20 by 25 feet, the judges’ bench at one end being confronted by a small gallery at the other. The entrance to the court-room is from a balconied gallery in the upper story, over the Washington mon* f ament, on the lower floor, and above is a sky light in thereof, which admits the light. This balcony, or gallery, was also filled with peo ple who could not gain admittance to the I court-room. At the time of the catastrophe I! it is estimated that not more than 300 persons were in the court-room, but these filled it to 1 its utmost capacity. A large number of the legal fraternity and members of the press were seated in the room immediately in front j of the bench and the gallery. The opposite end was filled with leading citizens, and the i j center of the small room was thronged by u crowd, both seated and standing. There was I a general conversation or discussion as to the I merits of the case going on among the usseni i bled audience, and all were eagerly awaiting the advent of the Judges. At length two ol their Honor**, entered—Judges Joynes anc 1 Anderson—and took their seats, when the s conversation lulled among the people, and fot the first time there was a perceptible silence, j Suddenly, and while awaiting the arrival ol the remaining Judges, a report as of a snioth ered gun under the floor was heard, followed immediately hy another similar report, and j everybody started from their scats and looked toward the center of the room, from whence i these ominous sounds seemed to issue. Peo* pie there stood up and looked themselves lor j an explanation of this strange and mysteri* i ous noise. But they had not long to wait. There came a crackling sound, as of small j timbers breaking, and then the floor was fell 1 giving away in the center of the room. Sim I ultaneously everybody jumped to their feet. for all felt that danger was imminent, unci j self-preservation is the first law of nature. i! But it was too late. Down wentthe floor witl a terrific crash, with its living, breathing am: frightened human freight, dragging with it the gallery and its living mass, and down thev t, went a distance of nearly 25 feet to the flooi of the House of Delegates. Then, with the descending mass, the ceiling above, which i was somehow attached to the gallery also, j came down with another fearful crash, suioth i ering and crushing the living and struggling mass of victims beneath. A ledge of nbout twelve feet, on which the bench was located, did not go down, and on this many lives were saved, including the [judges and reporters. As soon as the fearful crash had occurred those who could clutched hold of the windows, stepped out of the gal lery, and ran out to other rooms, and thus I many others were also saved. j The scene which followed is utterly beyond t description. Between the two bodies of the i floor and ceiling was the mass of people, the 1 force and power of the latter, with the gallery 1 falling upon them, forever silencing theircries for help. It was a scene of horror never tc j be forgotten by those who witnessed it. Tc those who remained about, and who ventured to look down into the vacant space of the Court-room nothing was visible but a cloud of thick dust, through which the frantic cries ol j the victims yet alive could be heard vainly ap pealing for In Ip. The crash M-as felt in every j portion of the building, even to the basement, out of which the officers ran in precipitate haste, and soon the alarm of the catastrophe i M as pealed through the city on the bells of the j surrounding churches. This sound had the effect of bringing promptly to the scene the j Fire Department, beside a large, concourse of citizens, who were under the impression that j a conflagration had taken place. Hooks and ladders were at once brought into active req uisition, and the work of extricating the dead, the mangled, the wounded, and the dy ing, M as commenced. i one ii.v one they were brought forth irom the mass of debris through the windows and doors, those unhurt first making their appear* l anee liegrimined with dust and with torn and tattered clothes. Next came the dead and I wounded, who were deposited on the grass i plots of the square, which soon rewmblcd the j scene after a battle, with afflicted relatives, i male ami female, wandering about in search i of some one missing since the announcement j of the catastrophe. It was painful and heart rending tn hear the groans of the wounded and I dying, and the wailing of women and cliil i dren, strung men being affected tn tears, are! as each fresh victim, covered with dust and debris, was borne forth another and another cry oi sorrow and distress was sent tip. From the mass of fallen timbers and debris i; many ot the arms and legs of the wounded and dead projected, and it required the work of hours to extricate them; but the citizens and firemen worked vigorously throughout the i entire morning until the last one was brought j out anti consigned to the keeping of friends i ami relatives. Luckily it was an hour prior to the meeting of the Legislature, when the House of Dele 1 gates would also have been thronged, and l hundreds of others would have been added to j the already Immense list of killed and wound ed. As it was, some fifteen or twenty per i sons are reported to have been in the house, 'some of whom escaped and some were killed, one of the pages among them. An incident of the lamentable occasion is that both the Mayors—Ellison and Co boon—who were the most interested parties present, went down with the floor into the yawning room beneath, 1 Ellison escaping unhurt, while Caliuon was slightly injured. It is now positively ascertained that there were fifty-six persons killed in the catastro phe; but the number of wounded has not been accurately ascertained, as many of them walked off. It is supposed, however, that not less than one hundred are wounded. A post mortem held on a inan in New York who recently died, revealed the fact that his lungs were literally turned into stone. The mystery- is, how did lie live and breathe? Kx-Collector Joshua F. llailey has been beard from. He is in Ohio living on the farm of Lx-Solicitor Jordan, and writes to Waih I ington Quit he is ready to report to the depart j merit if w anted. aESKUAL SEWS.

I The cotton crop in Georgia and Florida is said by the local papers to be unusually back ward this year. The theatre at l’ompeii, after an interval of 1600 years, has been reopened with “The Child of the Regiment.” Georgia fruit growers are indignant that they have been buying young poplars for j peach trees. A wealthy man in Brooklyn hanged liint I self because he had chronic rheumatism. »ii|l despaired of getting well. More than 32.(XX) packages of teas were landed at Boston wharves week before last. A young fellow in Illinois broke his neck as he was unloading the furniture for his new house, and was buried on his wedding day. A man in McGregor, Iowa, to be revenged on hi* neighbor, went to his barn and cut his horse’s ears off. The tiller of a ferry boat sunk twenty-seven years ago near St. John, N.

An infant child, named Libby, was killed at Charlestown, Mass., last week, by an over dose of opium, administered under the direc tion of an ignorant apothecary clerk. A visitor to the Patent Office has come to the conclusion that the old axiom ought to he re versed so as to read “Invention is the mother of necessity.” A Jersey newspaper advertises “A first rate milk-and-water cow, warranted, with the assistance of a good pump, to yield eighteen quarts a day, and on Sunday nineteen.” Four volcanic craters have been discovered in the island of Cheduba, through one of which mud, strongly tainted with petroleum, bubbles up. A number of prominent Irishmen are about to establish a bank in New Orleans, to be called the Hibernia bank. The capital stock will be half a million dollars £100,000 of which has been already subscribed. There is a gang of petty thieves in Paris called rations—rats. They arc almost chil dren, and creep into houses at every un guarded opening to rob them. Columbus, Ohio, is excited over a stranger who has been there a year, paying his hotel bills regularly, and whose only business is to walk sixteen miles every day. General Jourdan will return to New York front Cuba in a few days, the time for which he enlisted in the Cuban service having ex pired. Among the survivors ot the uneuia s crew, who have arrived at San Francisco, is one of the gunners who fired the alarm guns as that ship was sinking. He is a Scotchman, and lias been ordered to Washington to give his testimony. A couple of Washington gals threw a quan- tity of cayenne pepper in the face of a corner lounger who said “shoo fly" to them as they j passed him the other day. It is said that the Emperor of Russia lias repeatedly had attacks of delirum tremens. During these attacks he is always tortured by the belief that he murdered his father, Nicho las. and poisoned his oldest son. For the Journal. TIIE UNIVERSALITY OF LIFE. Science is continually opening to man now chambers of beauty, in the great tem ple of nature; new fields in the domain of universal life. To the savage, the circle ot life is very small,—to the modern sci entist and scholar illimitable. Before the invention of the microscope, the drop of water was only a dead substance now we know it as a little world crowded with living creatures, thousands of them in their little beautiful bodies spending a brief life of joy and pain in a single drop. How little of the life in the ocean depths does the wandering bushman know. How little do we compared with that yet to be discovered The goal toward which sci ence seems to he hastening is the idea of universal life, no inanimate matter, no death anywhere. Darwin gives a fine description of sea surface animalculte. "The night was very dark, and the sea presented a most wonderful and beautiful spectacle; the vessel drove before her two billows of liquid phosphorus. As far as the eye could reach, the crest of every wave was bright with the livid flames. We passed over some circular luminous patches form ed from congregated millions of those lu minous sea animalcules, more tliau thir teen feet below the surface since the ship’s keel disturbed them not.” A stratum of red water is mentioned by Dr. l’ceppig— j twenty-four {piles long and seven broad, j Idled with animalcules; fifty millions of j these little creatures, it was computed, j would find ample room in a tumbler of j water. How little of the life beneath us, I we dream of when on the ocean! ScUlei den gives a beautiful description of life j In the Indian ocean. He says, “We dive into the liquid crystal of the Indian Ocean, j aud it opens to us the most wondrous en chantments oi the fairy tales ul' our child hood. The leaf-like Flustras and Keharas adhere like mosses aud lichens to the brandies of the corals; the yellow, green and purple-striped limpets cling like mon strous cochineal insects upon their trunks. Like gigantic cactus blossoms the sen-ane mones expand their crown of tentacles i upon the broken rocks, or more modestly embellish the fiat bottom, looking like beds of variegated ranunculuses. Around the blossoms of the coral shrub I (day the bumming birds of the ocean, little fish, sparkling with red or blue, or i gleaming in golden green; softly like i spirits of the deep, the delicate, milk white, or bluish bells of the jelly fish float through this charmed world. There the band tish shoots snake like through the Coral thicket like a long silver ribbon glit tering with rosy and silver hues. When day declines and the shades of night lay hold upon the deep, this fantastic ocean garden is lighted up with new splendors. Millions of glowing sparks, little micros copic Medusae and crustaeeous dance like glow worms through the gloom. The sea feather waves its greenish light, and, to complete the wonders of the night, the silver disk, six feet across of the moon-lish moves luminous among the crowds o( little sparkling stars". Thus, hidden tous, are worlds in the oeean depths, not less beautiful then the one that meets our eyes. To those myriads of creatures living in the ocean beds, passing among the coral trees, and sea anemones, the sea bed, is as our earth surface to us. The water is their atmosphere. The ocean to the myriads of fi>h, is as our atmosphere to the birds that fly in it. A single drop of water is all animate with life—unseen by our naked eyes—but observed through a microscope it starts out in wonderful reality. If in a single drop of water there are a million living, active creatures, loving and being loved, experiencing the pains and pleas ures of their little life as we do ours, what can we say of the rivers, lakes and oceans. Whence came these creatures, whither tending? Is this brief life the sum of their existence? Is organic death their end If to them, why not to me Am not I now a little rnonard, (to the vision of some almost immeasurably higher be ings in God’s universe) spending my brief existence? To them I seem but the ephemera of an hour. If for me, as the soul affirms there stretches out an eternal existence, over ascending, why not for all God’s creatures? Slowly the idea ot life unfolds. The highest most prophetic voice of the age I think is there is nought inanimate, no death, only ascending life.

A correspondent of the Oxford Democrat announces that lion. Israel Washburn, Jr., is and will continue to be a candidate for United States Senator until the question is settled by election. The friends of Senator Cragin, of New Hampshire, are sanguine of his re-election to the Senate. Ex-Governor McMullen of Virginia has an nounced that he would accept a nomination for Congress. The Reporter announces the death of Capt. Joseph II. Malbon of Skowhegan. Capt. Malbon was a native of Skowhegan. lie en tered the army in the 16th Regiment, was pro moted to Captain, and was detailed by Maj. Gen. Warren, as a member of his staff, anti put in charge of the ambulance corps of the 5th Corps. lie remained in the service until the close of the war, when he returned to Skowhegan where he has been actively en gaged in business. Capt. Malbon had a large circle of friends, who sincerely deplore his death in the prime of life and deeply sympa thize with bis bereaved family in their great loss. The Oxford Democrat says the new Padel ford bridge across the little Androscoggin, from Paris Hill to South Paris, is now ready for travel, tho’ not covered. It will be a credit to the town and the builders, when completed. A man named Alerson, belonging in I.in neus, was drowned last Tuesday while en gaged in stream driving upon the east branch of the Mattawauikeag. The Annual Exhibition of the Bucksport Seminary will take place May 1th and 5th. The Bangor Band is engaged for the occasion. Capt. George A. Deering of Saco has been appointed assistant paymaster in the Navy. The toll-bridge at Baring, blown down by the October gale, is nearly rc-built. Col.
