The discussion in the House of Repre sentatives on the 15th, upon the Chilian question, was one of the most lively and interesting that has taken place during the session. The speeches of Ranks and I/ogau in opposition to the administration j policy, not only drew largely upon the j sympathies of the audience, but were so j spiced with personalities and invective j as to give them a high relish to lovers of the sensational and those who dislike Civil- ral Butler. Their efforts were undoubted-1 ly able, but they felt that they were en listed in a sinking cause, and so struck desperately for any thing that would aid them. While it is true, as they declared, that the sympathy of our people goes with the Cubans in their struggle against oppres sion, and fre feel that all honorable, legitimate and prudent means should be taken by our government in their behalf, it is also true that the message of Presi-, dent Gcaut meets with popular favor and subdues tiie st mpatliy that tempts us to nish hastily into this Cuban embroglio. His exposition of the force of the Cubans, and the ways and means by which they have attempted to advance their cause in this country, are damaging to them, while his reference to the policy of our country and the teachings of international law are arguments of great weight. The vote j of the House bn Thursday settled the matter. The filial question was oil Mr. Bingham’s substitute as against Mr. Banks’ bill, which was carried 103 to 86. The proposition as now adopted and as sent to the Senate is as follows: Be it resolved, etr., That the President is hereby authorized to remonstrate against the barharous manner in which the war in Cuba has been conducted, and. if he shall deem it expedient, to solicit the co-operation of other guverments in such measures as lie may deem necessary to sceuri from both contending i parties an observance of the laws of war recognized by all civilized nation. This is not what the Cuban workers de- j sired, but is probably all they will obtain at the present. If they can continue the war circumstances may arise which will justify the President in interfering, and when that time comes we have no doubt that he will willingly put forth a helping hand and be cordially sustained by the people in doing so. NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL. The resignation of Mr. Hoar of the of fice of Attorney General, seems to have i come unexpectedly, although it was known by the friends of the Administration when he accepted the position that he 1 would not remain in it any length of time. There is therefore nothing strange or momentous about it. Mr. Hoar filled the office ably and acceptably. His successor is Ames T. Akennan of Elberton, Geor-1 gia. Mr. Akennan was born in Ports-' mouth, New Hampshire, graduated at Dartmouth, and when twenty one years of a or 400 tons at Owl's Head.

ILocal anli S>tate Netos. Drroratloa services at Togas. The graves of tlie soldiers in the cemetery connected with the National Military Asylum at Togus, were decorated with flowers on Friday afternoon, by the I’ost of the Grand Army of the Republic organized at the insti tution. Since the decoration last year the little mounds have increased from eighteen to thirty-three. Marble headstones of uni form size have been placed at each grave, bearing tlie name, residence and age of the deceased soldier. Tlie cemetery is in a love ly spot, in the midst of the native forest, ornamented and shaded with stately oaks arul beautiful maples. Nature unadorned and in its simple exterior may here be seen. The memorial services commenced at four o'clock. Quite a number of our citizens had availed themselves of the opportunity of be ing present, and were much pleased with the exercises. There was also a good attendance from the vicinity of the asylum. A platform had been erected for the speakers in tlie shade of some noble trees, and seats arranged for the Military Hand which was discoursing some fine music while the people were assem bing. The disabled soldiers marched in pro cession to the cemetery, headed by General Tilton and Copt. Woodfin. All the soldiers were neatly dressed in uniform, and carried bouquets and wreathes of flowers. The Post of the Grand Army bore a banner trimmed with crape, and on which were the words, “Our country mourns her martyred dead.” The recently organized division Sons of Tem perance appeared in the procession in new and neat regalias. Those soldiers who were unable to walk, were conveyed in carriages to the cemetery. The first exercise was tlie decoration of tlie graves. This was performed in a quiet and solemn manner, each grave receiving its beautiful offering. The headstones were hung with wreathes, and flowers made in tlie form of a cross placed upon each grave. After the 'decoration the comrades and visitors form ed around the stand, and prayer was offered by the Chaplain of tlie Asylum, Rev. Mr. Kelly, followed by music from the Hand. An address was then delivered by I)r. I. H. Stearns, Surgeon at the institution. He commenced by alluding to the day, the anni versary of the first organized battle of the Revolution, anil marked the course of the nation since that time. These memorial services are of value as they speak to this and future generations. He said the war was a great mistake on the part of its origi nators, but it was brought on by their educa tion. We did not know before the war our capacities for self-government. We had always settled thing* so quietly by the ballot, and the minority had always so promptly submitted to the decision of the majority, that wq did not know our power, and the South was utterly ignorant of the extent of the re sources of the North. He spoke of the muni ficence of the government in dealing with the soldier. No army ever went into the field better supplied with all the material for a successful prosecution of wap. In ancient times the idea prevailed that governments were for the benefit of the king, without re gard to the interests of the people. Here the great maxim is, “The greatest good of the greatest number.” The perfection of human government is not yet reached, and he thought the time would come when this maxim will be made to read, “The greatest good of all." Labor—honest labor—must receive tho coronet. He that can do the most for humanity will be the “coming man,” and he will come to stay. Major P. M. Fogler of this city, was the next speaker. He said that no utterances could give expression to the thoughts that crowd upon the mind in such an hour. We naturally turn to the scenes of war. when right struggled with wrong, honor with dishonor. Thank Gcal, the efforts of our heroes were crowned with success, and we are to-day en joying an enlarged liberty. Of those who went forth to battle for our liberties, how many never will return. Four hundred thousand men, the brave, the good and the true, gave up their lives for the salvation of the country. As we scatter flowers upon the graves of heroes, let it serve as a sweet reminder of the great struggle and the victory won. The nation appreciates the offering which these heroes made, and loves to pay respect to their memory. Let us go away from these graves with a desire to become better men and women, with a desire for a purer life. Mr. Farwell of Augusta, in response to calls, said that he had only learned of these proper and holy scvices this afternoon. He felt impelled to come here anil show by his presence his high appreciation of the heroic achievements of the patriotic living and the sacrifices of the sacred dead. These halt and disabled heroes—these ieii-taies of a saved Republic and an achieved liberty— these sacred mounds which perpetuate tho story of sacrifice and triumph, are not the legacies for which this nation of equals had been looking or longing. Until within the last half score of years, the pre diction that such things would come to this northern people—so sturdy and so just— would have been received with derision, as the suggestion of fanaticism or insanity. We of these cold and practical States had been regarded as a non-resisting and cowardly people—submitting graciously to any demand —just or oppressive—provided the triumphs of our material interests were not interfered with. They of the warmer and more impet uous States regarding us as a giant in repose —sought to weaken and cripple us. They remembered the story of Abdallah’s demoral ization that as he was lingering over his morning danties, a fly, a little thing, lit on his goblet, took a sip and was gone. It re turned again and again—enhanced its charms —obscured, but intensified its labors und its deceptions—grew in sjze—consumed Abdal lah’s meats so that he grew thin and weak vHiile the fly became great and strong. Time exposed the deception and the crime, brought on contention, and the youth smote Abdallah and then rollicked in his treacherous triumph. This was their purpose on us. How de ceived they were. The mufti spoke out and t he foot prints of this material giant of liber ty were found pointing towards their works. Henceforward—right and justice—union and liberty—equality of States and the one ness of tin- race—come to be the mottoes of the nation, and the history of their vindication and •triumph can be road in our national mag nificence, and in these annually recurring days of decoration ami jubilee. Rev. Mr. Kelly spoke of the contest be tween the objects of our struggle and those of ancient wars, and gave various instances from history illustrating the difference be tween sacrificing for power and liberty. The remarks of all the speakers were re ceived with satisfaction and applause. Dur ing the interesting exercises there was excel lent music by the band, and the following original hymn (understood to have been writ ten by Rev. Mr. Kelly) was sung: We. come to the graves of those fallen in battle, We rome from the rity, the mountain and glen: For tho-e who have fought ’mid tho cannon's loud rattle, I The children are coming, the women and men. (•Hours: I We scatter the garlands where comrades are sleep ing, 1 ’Tis thus that the nation remembers her brave Our hearts true to Freedom, like sentinels keeping Their watch o’er the place where they rest iu the grave. We know that no music of ours ran awaken The braves that once fought for our country so dear. j But we think of the days when the nation was shaken By the tramp of the heroes now slumbering here. The cause that they served will grow stronger and stronger, For Liberty yet must have greater renown: And grow in her strength until time is no longer. Then live through eternity, wearing her crown. They sleep, but the Nation they valiantly guarded, Now rests from the struggle, noth peaceful and free These garlands will show how their names are re garded, While they rest in their graves till the last reveille. After the benediction the company dispers j i d and the soldiers formed in line and marched back to the Asylum. Entertainment was kindly provided by those who had charge of the arrangements for visitors, and everything was done to make i the occasion appropriate and pleasant. Decoration at llallowell. The beautiful ceremony of decorating the soldiers graves was observed at llallowell Friday afternoon, in an unostentatious and highly appropriate manner, ('apt. J. S. Snow was Marshal on the occasion. Flowers in abundance and beautifully arranged, were furnished by the ladies of the city. The imposing monument erected to the mini ory of the soldiers from that city w ho fell dur ing the war, was adorned with wreaths, ever greens, and draped in the national flag. The llallowell Cornet Band discoursed excellent music. Exercises were begun at the monu ment by a brief address by Maj. E. Rowell, who was followed by the Rev. C. Fuller, who j offered prayer. Remarks suited to tho occas ion were made by Revs. A. R. Crane and C. Fuller, before a large audience of the citizens. The graves of the following soldiers were decorated: J. B. Hubbard, N. K. Ellery, ,J. YV. Rogers, S. George. YV. F. Rogers, G. S. Ricker. Edwin Miner, G. (_>. Gotehell, Alozo Stinson, Geo. A. Nye, David Stinson, H. A. Alive. Harry Stinson, YV. F. Riclurds. YV. H. Booker, F. Richard-. J. C. Edson, YY*. McKcnm v. YV. Mathews, Geo. Chamberlain. N. il. Clark, Geo. Weeks, YY\ Sherman. Benediction was pronounced Rev. C. Fuller. The attendance was large, and everything passed off in an appropriate and impressive manner. Some of the landmarks, that have stood so long defying the elements, are bein.: n moved or renovated. Thos. S. Bartlett, having pur-, chased the old Lombard house on State stre et, has removed it from the position has held so many years to new foundations prepared! for its reception in the gully on State street, just north of Mr. Bartlett’s residence. The building was started Friday morning, and will be put in its new position to-day. The work of removal was well done by Mr. Chas. Luce of Kendall’s Mills. The house is to be fitted up as a double tenement. A fine i dwelling house is to be built on the lot from which it was removed, by the heirs of the late YYTu. 11. Lombard. The teachers and scholars of the high school will make an excursion to Fort Fophain to morrow. It is expected that the excursion] will be made in the beautiful little steamer j “Ella,” which is intended to be put on the route between this city and Portland. This excursion is made in lieu of the usual May day holiday which was omitted this year. The caterpillars that devasted apple trees for some years past, have almost entirely dis appeared. *pcria!

Incendiary Work. THE FREE IIKIDCE EXC ITEMENT. [Special Despatch in die Daily Kennebec Journal.] W'atmivilli:, Me., June 1!). The old Williams Hnusc was set on fire last night at about IL’-IIO. It was discovered by the night-watchman before any damage was done, and the person who set it was ar rested and lodged in the lock-up. •S. Heath, Esq., Chairman of the meeting which was held at West Waterville yesterday, was serenaded by the “Hoys" last night. About To tin horns, hells and gongs were used. It was very good music hut did not seem to bo appreciated. The inmates of the house tame out and fired four shots at the serenad ers, who retaliated with rocks, and ended the fun bv giving three cheers for the bridge, and three groans for those who were on tile anti free bridge side. A train of T cars with 400 voters started from here for West Wateryille to vote on the bridge question. The anti bridge people bent by 11 votes on Moderator, but when they came to vote on the bridge question they were drawn up into line. The! opponents of the free bridge saw the free bridge forces were the strongest and the Mod erator adjourned to some other place and no vote was taken. Stone has been contracted for and they are going right to work on the bridge. Webber and llav eland of this place are the contractors. FORTY-FIRS'? CONGRESS. Senate. In Committee of the Whole, the Senate took up the Post Office Appropriation hill, anil the amendments relative to the repeal to the Franking privilege. Mr. Thurman moved an amendment that the abolition of the Franking privilege shall not take effect until August 1st. Adopted. Mr. Morton opposed the amendment for two cent letter postage, as involving a loss of postal revenues without any corresponding; benefit, and held that the present rates ot j postage were sufficiently low.
