The preparation ot Rubber now used bv dentists for setting Artificial Teeth is prepared by melting together one pound of Rubber, one-half pound Sulphur, and one pound and four ounc es of Vermilion. The Vermilion is what gives to the Rubber its red or uni-like appearance. This new preparation contains no Sulphur what ever, and omv six ounces of the coloring matter to one pound of Rubber, therefore it is as pure as Rub ber can be used as a base to set Artificial Te$th om; being also stronger than the vulcanite, the plates can therefore be made very much thinner.

Monday Morning, Februa-y 10.18S8. Ingratilnrie l* Vallau,liahain. WlifD Valiandighara returned from a tem porary residence in Canada during the war breathing defiance and revenge,President, Lin coln remarked that the great Copperhead had sethis heart upon being made a martyr, bnt that he had set his heart upon disappointing him. So thecoveted aureola that flashes on the brow of the faithful in wood-cut illustrations of fox's Book of Martyrs has never adorned the head of Valiandigbam, and the Clement who was thrown into the Euxine in the reign of the Emperor Trajan is still the only saint of that name in the calendar. But the hour of triumph has come to Val landigham. The blow that must entitle him to great consideration in any revision of the mai tyrologies has just been given by his own friends. He wanted to be Senator from Ohio, and came very near it, but Judge Thurman beat him by a small majority. This defeat was not pleasant to the great soul of the Ca nadian exile. When therefore, at the late election in the eighth Ohio congressional dis trict, Gen. Beatty, Republican, defeated Burns, Democrat, by a very large majority, Yallandigham rejoiced exceedingly and sung editorial Te Dwms in the columns of the Dayton Ledger. He not only rejoiced over the disaster to bis associates, but predicted their total overthrow in the coming Presiden tial campaign. Thereupon the leading Dem ocratic paper of the country at once declared that Yallandigham had placed himself be yond the pale of Demorcratic sympathy. It gave him notice that he had always been de spised and hated, and that it gave his party associates uncommon pleasure to bid him farewell. The lesser journals have follow ud in the same strain, and soon from one end of the country to the other we shall hear noth ing but Down with Vatlandigham! A con temporary, indeed, cannot forbear a tribute ol admiration for In's noble conduct in the little affair with Burnside and a lachrymose expres sion of “the kindest sympathy” for him in that contest with the minions of despotism. But he mu3t walk—instantly. There is no delay, no hope ot pardon. Now we undertake to prove most conclu sively that this summary ostracism of the man who has furnished whatever of brains there may have been in the Ohio Democracy since 1861 is a piece of consummate hypocri sy. The New York World and its satellites attempt to give the impression that he Is ig nored on account of the obnoxious political sentiments which have rendered his name a synonym for treason, and that his voluntary defection from the party hi the local election only furnishes a long sought occasion for throwing him overboard. Nonsense! Since his return from Canada and since every treas onaDle act ol his life has been committed the Democrats have hugged him to their bosoms and, until they found him too heavy a load to carry, conferred upon him every honor in their power. Did he not give laws to the Chicago convention of 1861? Was not the national platform of Democracy in the last Presidential campaign ot his building? Has he not been the most prominent of the cam paign slump-speakers at every election since How long since his principles became dis tasteful to his false friend3? The exact date of the change of feeling toward Vallandigham is the moment when it was found that ib the Presidential election of 1868 it would be im possible to succeed so long a3 there was an indorsement of him and his principles, and when the plan was conceived of imposing up on the people the idea that his doctrines were dismissed at the same time with hirpself. But the outcry against him means nothing and the people know it. The opinions of Clement L. Vallandigham are as dear to his party to-day as they were when he was the the regular nominee for governor of Ohio. This can be demonstrated. Vallandigham, unhappily, is not alone in his gross political heresies. He only happens to possess more character and ability than most of his sym pathizers, and has therefore become obnox ious to all American patriots. But there are many others who are his peers In recklessness and indecency. Why are these lesser yipers still cherished? Henry Clay Dean has just been brought from Ohio to help in the New Hampshire campaign. There is not so much as a greenback between him and Vallandig ham. Indeed he claims to be the author of the greenback repudiation scheme. He is widely known as the man who called Presi dent Lincoln an “ignorant babboon.” Agaln> let the relative popularity of the La Crosse Democrat, edited by Brick Pomeroy, and more moderate Democratic papers be considered. That infamous sheet bolds ail the heresies which are associated with the name of Val landigham in an intensified form, besides many peculiarly hideous and shameless dog. mas of its own. The fact that the Democrat, with all its prurient abominations, utter lack of ability and more than Satanic mendacily, bas a larger circulation than any other “Con servative” paper In the country, is a measure of the increased purity of the Democratic par ty by reason of expelling a single man from its ranks. Presentation of the British JTlinlatcr. On Friday, npon being presented to the President, Mr. Thornton, the new English Minister, said: Sir,—I have the honor to deliver into your Excellency’s hands a letter addressed to you by her Majesty, tjueeu Victoria, accrediting me as her Majesty’s Minister to your Excel lency. I have also received her Majesty’s orders to assure your Excellency of her sin cere friendship and of the deep interest she takes in the welfare and prosperity of the nation ever which you so worthily preside. Her Majesty’s government and the English nation are deeply grateful tor the warm sym pathy shown by the people of tbe United States on the occasion of the death of my lamented predecessor. Allow me to assure your Excellency that I shall do my ray best to take his place in their affections snd to strengthen the relations of cordial friend ship which happily subsist, and which it is our earnest desire and our duty as kinsmen to maintain between the two countries. In this pleasing task 1 am confident that I may count upon the support and assistance of your Excellency, as well as the distinguish ed statesmen who compose your Cabinet and tbe legislature of this nation. The President replied to this address as follows: Mr. Thornton,—Your Queen enjoys more highly than any other sovereign the respect and sympathy of the American people. The people of the United States will believe that she is entirely sincere in the kindly messages which under her command you have deliver ed to me, and this belief will encourage them to hope for a speedy and amicable adjustment of matters in difference between her Majesty’s government and the government of the Uni ted States. Your late predecessor, Sir Fred erick Bruce, without any disobedience to in structions or any want of regard to British interests, won the respect and esteem of this government and nation. Sir Frederick’s sud den death revealed to ourselves the fact that the friendship we cherished for him had even acquired the intensity of fraternal affection. It will be a pleasing duty for me to extend to you the same consideration and confidence which he so eminently enjoyed. In regard to the political relations of the United States and Great Britain only one thingseemsto be necessary, which is, that the statesmen and people ol the two countries may carefully and coustantly study to con form their measures to the political logic which in every region where the English language is spoken so distinctly manifests it self in increasing love of a constitutional freedom and the rapid march of a common, irresistible and indivisible civilization. Opening or Japanese Poets.—Mr. Van Valkenburg,United States Minister to Japan, writing from Yeddo under date of November 27, informs the citizens of the United States that in conjunction with his colleagues he has made arrangements with the Japanese gov ernment by which the city of Yeddo, the town of Negato on the West coast, and the harbor of J5 lisa m into on the island of Sado, will be opened to them for trade and residence pursuant to treaty stipulations on the first of April next. __ —A woman in Australia crushed her child to death in her arms in her excitement to see the Duka of Edinburgh, Gratuitous Textbooks* To the Editor of the Prese: It is suggested that pupils in the public schools he supplied with textbooks at the public expense, the pupils having the privi lege of usiug the books while the property in them is retained by the city government. It is claimed that the same principle that ap plies in this case of buildings, teachers <S:c., is equally applicable to textbooks. This how ever is a hasty inference. There are several reasons fur supply ing buildings and teachers at the public expense that do not apply with equal force in the ease of textbooks and several reasons ayainal sup plying textbooks which do not hold good .u respect to buildings &c. Buildings and instruction are things in which different individuals cannot acquire a distinct visible property. Combination is a necessity and society in Its corporate capacity is the most convenient and effective instru ment yet discovered for securing this ob ject. Because these are supplied at the public expense it does not follow that the same principle should he extended to cases in which the same necessity docs not exist. Another reason for suppying buildings and teachers at the public expense is, that, as the burden of providing them might be too heavy for those more immediately interested, all the members ot society may without injus tice be required to contribute toward mak ing their burdens lighter; since all derive from education at least an indirect advantage in the greater security of life and prosperity and the increase of wealth and happiness. The burden of supplying textbooks does not however seem sufficiently grevlous to require the interposition of the public especially if, as now seems probable, the city government shall make ariungement for supplying books at wholesale prices. Any gratuity in the case of textbooks is much more liable to abuse than in tbe case of school houses and their appliances, though even the latter are not exempt from it. Public property is much more exposed than private to injury, and, (if it be such as can be stolen,) to theft. This is partly owing to a laxaty of public sentiment and partly to a want of supervis ion. To steal private property is a crime. To steal public property (it is as shameful but true) is too often considered only as a rather doubtful pracl ice. The direct iuteres t in pri vate property keeps the possessor irom injur ing it himsolf, and gives him a more imme diate oversight and a keener vigilance in guarding it from the attempts of others. Peo ple will not feel tbe same care respecting public properly and to exercise the same vigilance is impossible. Ko private dwelling is mutilated as are some of our schooihouses. The reason is that those who do the mischiet are not the ones who feel the loss. Tee scholars are the culprits, but the taxpayers loot the bills. The same disposition to mischief with enlarged opportunities for its exercise, will exist ia the case of public property in the shape of text books. School houses are less exposed to injury than books, and if injured may be re paired. A book once injured will go quickly to ruin, and the more quickly as the pros pect of a new one will furnish the user a motive lor hastening the process of destruc tion. A thing so easily concealed will more over furnisn a ready opportunity for d. si ion esty. It may be said that leach eis will look out for the books. It would be adding a most perplexing task to their already sufficiently annoying duties; and besides making their position uncomfortable, it will be just so much deducted from their effectiveness as instructors. Such superintendence as is de manded can be exercised ouly by the schol ars themselves. A thousand little delin quencies, unless they carry their punishment with them in the shape of loss, must go un punished, because they are as difficult to he detected as to be measured. To let each scholar have the ownership of books he uses will tend to develop a spirit of respon sibility in the care of them. To furnish them at the public expense will probably develop a spirit of carelessness that wi II make tbeir aggregate cost much greater than under the present system without essentially relieving any one. There are without doubt reasons that cau be urged on the other side. These ought to be duly weighed. But such a policy ought to bo entered upon with the greater caution because when once inaugurated a multitude of private interests real or imagin ary will be interposed to prevent a return to the present system, however desirable such a course may be. 3. Virginia Politics. Cux.pkpkr C. H., Va., Feb. 5,18(58. To the editor of the Press Political affairs are very quiet about here. Everybody is waiting to see what sort of a Constitution the Convention will make for the “OJd Dominion.” The Conservatives are wonderfully shocked at Secretary Stanton's reinstatement in the War-Office, and are wait ing to see him ignored by the Executive, and some of them are furious because General Grant has not be?n court-martialed before this time. I hear very little about the sup plemental reconstruction measure. The Constitutional Convention is styled here by the Knights of Gray” the Kan garoo” Convention, and is held in derision by the disloyal portion of the population; and yet their representatives do not appear to feel very bad and won’t, probably, as long ns the fS per diem lasts. I was told by a prominent member (a Kepubiican) that the Convention would not probably get through its labors be fore the last of the present month. I have had the pleasure of visiting the Convention, and while there witnessed a very amusing incident in the proceedings of that body. On the occasion referred to argument was going on upon the adoption of a section in the Bill of Eights. Mr. iiaurxthurst, a Kepubiican member from Fairfax, moved an amendment, and proceeded to support it in a very enthusiastic manner, so much so that he left his seal and began to advance down the aisle. At that moment lie was brought to a halt by a pure and unadulterated scion of Africa, who said, “Mr. President, I rise to a point of Older.” President—“ The Gentleman will state his point of order.” Member—“ X believe we have a rule that re quires members of this body when address ing the Chair, not to leave their places. As the gentleman has left his place and appears to be advancing on the Chair, I consider he has clearly violated one of the roles of the Convention. 1 therefore consider the gen tleman ont of order and hope he will be re quited to address the Chair from his proper place.” President—“ The point of order is sustain ed the member from Fairfax will adress the Chair from his place”—whicli ho did, looking not a little chagrined and amused together. It Is neediest to say this little incident brought down the house.” While there are a few men in the Conven tion of ordinary abilities, there arc many of marked ability. Mr. Snead, Republican member from Ac comac County is a very able man, a ready speaker and exhibits a goodly share of legal knowledge; he’is a native born Virginian. Mr. Hunnicutt is a very earnest speaker, but his speeches are not well received by either side of the house; be uses the pronoun “X” too much and wants to set himself right on the record. Apparently his remarks are di rected to the crowded galleries. It is thought his paper will be entirely supplanted as the republican organ of the State,by the “Reg ister,” a new paper recently started by Mr. Sheldon whose talents as exhibited in his editorals are of the highest order. The success of the Register Is deemed a certainty. More anon.

A Good Movbmk.nx.—A bill pending In the Massachusetts Legislature provides that “Any city or town may choose one or moro women its members of its school committee.” It ought to pass, aud since our Legislature is this win ter engaged in reorganizing the educational system of the State, this feature ought to ha incorporated into any plan that may be adopt ed. In the Massachusetts legislature, when the question was under discussion, a spicy da bate was indulged in. This was opened by the ottering of two facetious amendments by Bos ton men: the one being a provision that wom en bo appointed “provided no moa can la found to serve on such committees;” and the other “provided that such women he over thir ty years of age and unmarried.” Dr. Ordway, ot Boston, Mr. Goddard, of SpriDgfreid and one or two other gentlemen earnestly urged the passage of the bill; and Mr. Dana and two or three conservative a opposed it. Finally, the hilt was laid on the table—there to remain un til after the report of tlio hoard of edneation it received; which,it i3 alleged, gives the favora ble opinion of the board on this question.

The Republican voters of this city are re quested to meet at their various wards on Wednesday Evening, February 12, at 7 1-2 o’clock for the purpose of electing seven delegates irom each ward to meet in convention, to nominate a candidate for Mayor to be supported by the Republicans at the municipal election on Monday,March 3. Ward 3 will meet at the Republican head quarters on Congress street,corner of Market; other wards at their various ward rooms. Per order Republican City Committee. At a meeting of the Republican City Com mittee held Friday evening, February 7th, the, following resolutions were passed: Resolved, That in the opinion of this Com mittee, at all Republican w ard caucuses held in this city, for the selection of delegates or the nomination of officers, the selection or nomination shall be by ballot, under such reg ulations as such ward caucus may adopt. Resolved, That the Republican ward cau cuses be requested to adopt this system in making nominations. Ketbenchment. Another illustration oi Democratic n jtions of retrenchment and economy occurred in the House of Represen tatives in Augusta Friday. Mr. Balkan) of Robbinstou moved aud Mr. Dickey of Fort Bent demanded, that the State Treasurer be directed to pay the salaries and travelling fees of the members of the Legislature in gold. Both these gentlemen are Democrats. Mr. Cram of Brunswick opposed the order on the ground that the Constitution prohibits any change in the compensation of the Legisla ture during its session. Mr. Cram is a Repub lican. The House is Republican too, and this Democratic order was indefinitely postponed. The State Capital.—The order instructing the legislative committee on public buildiugs to inquire into the expediency of making Portland the capital of the State was introduc ed in the House by Mr. Andrews of Buckfield. Mr. Bradbury of Hollis moved that the order be tabled for discussion next Wednesday, but on objection being made, moved a reference to the committee on public buildings. In sup port of this motion Mr. Bradbury said the or der was introduced in all seriousness. It ap peared that the archives of the State are not safe, and an appropriation is asked for an ex tension of the capital to protect them. If Portland will provide suitable buildings, free of expense to the State, he thought the propo sition should be at least considered. Besides, he thought the proper location of the seat of government would be at a commercial and railway rather than a geographical centre. The matter was accordingly referred, and this is probably the last we shall hear of it. Mr. Brickett of Augusta quietly observed that this thing had been talked of before, whieh is very true. Peak 's Island .—The Argus assures the in habitants of Peak's Island, that when a Dem ocratic administration comes into power in this city they shall have a new school house and a new street at once. That is liberal. When the sky falls, too, we shall all catch larks. But we hope the Peak's Island people will not wait lor either of these rather unlike ly accidents, to secure advantages which they need and to which they are entitled. We are quite sure they do not intend to place them selves in the position in which the Argus puts them, of threatening to vote the Democratic tioket unless their demands are granted. II they have a good case, and it seems to us they have, they can afford to rest it on its merits addressing their fellow-citizens on this side of the bay as just men and not as partizans. The question is not political; it can only be dam aged by giving it a political compaction. We trust the members of the city government will not allow themselves to be prejudiced by this ill-advised attempt to construe the action of the people of Peak’s Island as a threat design ed to influence their action improperly. We are satisfied that there was no such intention, and furthermore that the representations of the resolutions published last week are well founded and deserving of candid considera tion. Saturday we published the views of several half-aud-half papers on the quarrel between the President aud General Grant. We add to day a few paragraphs from the New York Tri bune, a paper which has been somewhat no torious for i?s opposition to Grant: Arguing from the circumstances we think these conclusions are plain: I. When Grant entered the War Office, he was in sympathy with Congress. Subsequent developments show the extent of that sympa thy, and that the President knew it. II. Grant wanted Reconstruction carried out, and took the War Office to aid in the work. HI. He knew there was a law which made it his duty to resign the War Office after Stanton’s restoration by the Senate. IV. He could not remain in the War Office without giving the lie to his whole career. We do not see how Gen. Grant could have taken any other course. We do not approve ol many things he has done. We think he has allowed his amiability and desire for quiet to place him too often in a questionable posi tion, and thus to injure the cause. In this last business, however, he has shown qualities that add to Ills great fame, and justify the confi dence of loyal (men. It will, of course, bring upon him the howls and implications of the Rebel and Copperhead, especially when incited and suggested by the President. Mr. Johnson has done many things to grieve the heart of the nation. His last little game is the most humiliating and unenviable of all. Activity in the Sure ogling Business.— F. N. Bingham, special agent of the Treas ury Department for the prevention of smug gling in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, reports that between April 25,18(37, and Jan uary 31,1868, the property seized, actions com menced and penalties paid through their in Strumentalitty, amounts to §901,037,44. Political Notes. The aspirants for the Massachusetts Sena torship, on the expiration of Mr. Sumner’s term, are Banks, Butler, Bullock and four others. The Mobile (Ala.) Register states that Judge Busteed, lately shot by District Attorney Martin, has nearly recovered, and will hold court again at an early day, even if he has to do it at his hotel. The New Orleans Crescent says that when the ex-rebel General Jeff. Thompson was in Boston last summer soliciting the cooperation of the solid men of the “Hub” in bis commer cial enterprise, he was introduced by his name and military title to a venerable merchant on Central Wharf. “Happy to see you, sir,” said the old merchant; “I am proud to meet a gen tleman who took so prominent a part in put ting down the rebellion! Take a seat, sir!” The gentleman introducing the General cor rected the slight misapprehension of the old merchant. “All the same,” was the response, “I am happy to seo you, any way; take a seat, take a seat, sir.” The following attack upon Bishop Simpson is among the gems offered by H. Clay Dean to his New Hampshire audiences: “When, in the varied history of mankind, has such a spectacle imposed itself upon us as the ex hibition ot a Christian bishop—a zealous Christian bishop, a self-denying Christian bishop, a sanctified, holy Christian bishop,— walking up Pennsylvania avenue with lying Jack Pope, to pay his respects to bloody Ned. Stanton?” A Quebec paper calls one of the members of the provincial legislature a “pachyder matous pluralist.” The sub-committee on reconstruction are considering whether any further legislation is necessary to define the relations between the President, the War Office and the General-in Chief. They are also considering whether it is expedient and proper for the House to take any action by way of expressing the senti ment of the country on General Grant’s con duct, and whether, in view of the President’s course, it is not necessary to clothe him (Gen. Grant) with full authority in the matter per taining to reconstruction. rile Boston Post doesn't like the manner in which one of its con temporal ies talks about Grant and the President. It says: “The Sringfield Republican performs a character istic flip-flap, and gulps down impeachment with a smack that can be heard at Washing ton.” A Washington dispatch says that it is not improbable that, if the President should pub lish a reply to Gen. Grant’s last letter to him, with the indorsement of four members of the Cabinet, Lieut. Gen. Sherman may write a let ter sustaining Gen. Grant. The story that Butler is engaged on a pam phlet history of the military and civil history of Grant is contradicted. The chances of S. S. Cox’s confirmation as Minister to Austria are decreasing A speech which he made in 1863 at Detroit, proposin'*to raise an army of 100,000 men to go into Canada to bring Vallandigham back is operating pgainst him. The National Commercial Convention The National Commercial Convention at Bostou concluded ita labors on Saturday. The last day was almost entirely devoted to the consideration of the report of the Committee on Currency and Finance, which was adopted after much discussion, with only two dissent ing votes. As the resolutions embraced in this report indicate the conclusions reached by the Convention on the most im portant subject.-; considered by that body, we give them in full: Resolved, That the exisiting indebtedness of I the nation and of individuals, and the ex- changeable values of all proj»erty have been practically adjusted to the amount of curren cy now in circulation, there should not at pres ent l>e any expansion or contraction thereof, but that the legal tender currency should be gradually, but steadily, approximated to the specie standard, by the funding thereof, on and after the first of January, 1869, in amounts not exceeding three millions of dollars per month. Resolved, That the national honor andfgocd faith alike require that the Government should not avail itself of the right to payoff tbehiye Twenty bonds until, by a general resumption of specie payments, the public debt, as it ma tures, can be paid in specie or its equivalent. Resolved, That the inequality in the distri bution of the National Bank currency between the different sections of the country requires some action on the part of Congress; there wrr, Resolved, That, to this end, the following change in the National hanking law be recom mended to Congress: That any persons, proposing to form a new bank, may present to the Comptroller of the Currency in national bank bills, of any banks having a circulation of more than sixty per cent, of such bank, the amount proposed as capital ot the new bank, which the Comptrol ler shall redeem in greenbacks. Thereupon the Comptroller shall cancel such bills and re turn them to each bank of issue for redemp tion, returning to such banks the bonds pledg ed as security, whenever a sufficient amount ot bills shall have been cancelled to liberate one or more bonds. And that, thereupon, the persons preseuling such bank bills shall be en titled, upon lodging bonds, and otherwise com plying with the provisions of the law, to form a new bank, and receive from the Comptroller an issue of currency not exceedit g 60 per cent, of its capital. Provided, that no national bank currency shall be issued to any new bank in any State in which the amount of national bauk curren cy already issued to the banks of such State shall bear a greater proportion to three hun dred millions of dollars tnau the representative population of such State shall bear to the rep resentative population of the country; and Provided, further, that the aggregate amount of currency issued to the national banks shall in no case exceed three hundred millions of dollars until such time as the banks shall have resumed specie payments. Resolved, That a system of free national banking can be safely allowed so soon as bank notes are payable and paid, on demand, in coin, and not before. Resolved, That i t be recommended to the Congress of the United States to euact a law authorizing contracts to be made in writing, which shall be payable in gold or silver coin, and securing the specific performance of such contracts. Resolved, That the Congress of the United States should by law supersede the usury laws of the several States, and make seven per cent. per aunum the uniform rate of interest, when no contract has been made for any other rate, and authorizing contracts to be made in writ ing for the use of money at any rate of inter est upon which parties, able and willing to contract therefore, may agree. A resolution offered by Mr. Nazro of Bos ton iu favor of the continued exemption of government bonds from taxation was adopted as an amendment to the above. Mr. Davis of Toledo offered a resolution op posing the sale of gold paid to the banks as interest until it had accumulated in their vaults so as to enable them to pay all their li abilities iu coin, which was also adopted as an amendment. Though there was great unanimity on the final vote, some of the Western members took ground in favor of a moderate expansion of the currency, and amendments were pfBposed to all the resolutions except the second, third and fourth, concerning which there was no difference of opinion. On the whole, the har mony which prevailed throughout the pro ceedings of the Convention was truly wonder ful, cousideriug the diversity of interests and of opinions represented by the delegates. Lynch Law and Legitimate Hanging.— About a week ago, a mob broke into a jail at Frankfort, Ky., took out and hung a negro who was charged with an outrago upon the person of a white girl. It has since been rendered certain that it was simply impossi ble that the crime alleged could have been committed at the time and place charged. But this is no worse than several well attested cases where innocent men have been sentenc ed to death and executed iu accordance with law. One of these is of recent occurrence. Lynch law is of course more likely to result in catastrophes of this sort on account of the haste which is characteristic of the practice accordingly its barbarous code. But it isonly aj question of time. Establish the principles that life may be taken as punishment for crime, and sooner or later, some unhappy wretch through lack of influence or friends, is executed for crimes of which he is inno cent. England anil the Alabama Claim*. There is but a subdued friendliness in the President’s reply to the presentation speech of Mr. Thornton, the new British minister, which we print in another column. In connection with this subject the following extract from the Tribune’s London correspondence will be found interesting: The actual closing of the Alabama corres pondence on the part of the United States has seriously alarmed a portion of the English pub lic. Coming in any ordinary time it would have created no great uneasiness, though the conviction has for some time become general that the Alabama business is one which Eng land must get out of on the best attainable terms. But at this crisis the attitude of the United States Government is deemed to be not only annoying but dangerous. No man knows what the Eeuiau movement may bring forth, nor what moment it may select to hurst the bonds which the Government is every day tightening. What may be said and thought in Tory commercial classes and wherever an intelligent opinion can make its way, the pos sibility of an outbreak in Ireland, w’ith the Al abama claims still unsettled, is viewed with unconcealed terror. Nobody thinks that Lord Stanley's case is a bad one. The demand for a reopening of the negotiations is irrespective ot such considerations. It is almost a cry of panic which goes up from the press ana the streetB to the Foreign Office. Kight or wrong, Mr. Seward’s whole arbitration claim must lie conceded. We ate, indeed, sure, exclaim these various organs of opinion, that the arbi- 1 tratiou must end in our lavor; but that is not the point. The claims perse are not what trouble us. Wo shall be only too glad to be pronounced in the wrong and be obliged to pay for our sins of the past. We must at any price, wrest from America the sword which she now holds over our heads. We must can cei tue preceueni oi neutrality wmcn we our selves established, or there is no future security for British commerce or tlio integrity of the Empire. Tho men who say this are the men who built rams and blockade runners, who were Anglo-Itebels all through the war, and who don't like. America much better to-day than they did then. “Histori cus," who lor six years has been the English oracle on international law, and. above all, on the Alabama claims, wrote to The Times on Monday a three column letter demonstrating, out of Sir. Seward’s own mouth, that his com plaint of belligerent recognition was absurd. The great weather-cock primed the letter, but en the day following solemnly snubs “Histor cus” and exclaims that, though it is all very true, this is no time to he standing on diplo matic niceties or confuting Mr. Seward the tiling to do is t« have an arbitration. “NVe must teel above the instincts of pride and jealousy,” which is another way of saying we mutt put national honor in one pocket and national sensibility in the other.and see how we can get out of the scrape. The Saturday Keview, which never stuck at approving pi racy, set itsell last Saturday to arguing the American case, with at least as mnch ability and zeal as ever Mr. Seward showed. The Pall Mall Gazette printed on Tuesday a letter from Mr. John Motley, who has just returned from America, describing vividly the feeling which exists towards England, and urging the abso lute necessity of concilliating a people which has “more power for good and evil in our aftaii a than all the European States put together.” Only the Tory organ, the Standard, still main tains a show ol courage, and blusters in the old style, but this means simply that Lord Stanley has not yet had time to make up his mind. When he decides to reopen t he negotia tion, the Tory papers will he the first to pro claim it the only possible course. The motion to dismiss the McCardlc case lor want of jurisdiction was argued before the Supreme Court by Senator Trumbull in sup port of the motion and Judge Sharkey in op positiouon Friday. The decision of the court versed. —The Deseret .News reads Eastern moral ists a lesson on interference with Mormouism while the desertion of infants and child mur der are so prevalent hereabouts. Penh's Island and the Democracy. To the Editor of the Preei I perceive by the Argus that the inhabitants of Peak’s Island are promised, that let a good Democratic admi nistration come in this spring and your streets and school houses shall be attended to.” The Democratic party are good inj making promises of what they will do, in case the people will! trust them. They made the same promises to the islanders pre vious to the election in I860, when a Democrat ic administration came iuto power, but how was it carried out? The residents on Peak’s Island petitioned the Democratic city council fora street; and the city council with their friends visited the locality and other islands iu the bay to view the proposed way, well pro vided with edibles aud drinkables and other necessary conveniences for laying out, or lay ing in said street, and its numerous angles as viewed from Little Chebeague” had such an effect upon them that they was unable to lo cate the same, and it remained for a future Kepubliean administration to lay out the street according to the wishes ol the inhabitants. Casco Bat. Portland Ogiicanbitrg Bailroad. To the Editor of the Pres$: The Portland Ogdensburg railroad will bo the most direct line of communication with the great lakes and the West, with Montreal and Canada West, possible to Portland. Dis tance from Portland to House's Point about 212 miles; to Ogdensburg 330 miles. This road will be in its interests and man agement a Portland road, which can scarcely he said of any other terminating here. It will put us in direct communication with northern Eew Hampshire and Vermont, will bring all that section much nearer to us than to Boston, and will develop and create an ad ditional new business and trade for Portland, equal to that it now has. This will he the cheapest route between Chi cago and the Atlantic seaboard for grain and heavy freights unless the route via Buffalo and the Erie canal should be excepted. It will be far the cheapest and most direct outlet to the Atlantic for the Lake Superior miuing regions of northern Michigan and Wisconsin,and for northern Minnesota, the val ley of the upper Missouri, and the mineral producing territories of Dakota and Montana, and so on to the Pacific. This route will oc constantly improved oy the completion of other projects contemplated or i n progress. For instance, the Niagara Ship Canal, connecting lakes Erie and Ontario, transferring the terminus ot lake, transporta tion for vessels of the largest class from Buffa lo to Ogdensburg, and the still more important project to us, of the contemplated canal from the Georgian Bay to Lake Huron, to connect with Lake Ontario at Toronto, a distance of 100 miles, found by careful survey to be emi nently feasible. The completion of this canal will give all the vast country west on our par allel now just beginning to be developed, a short, easy and cheap water commuication with Oswego and Ogdensburg, thence by rail to Portland. This immense business, now in its infancy, can reach the Atlantic by no other possible route so direct and cheap, and when here, will be nearer Europe thau at auy other port in the States. This road will form a link in the chaiu of the great northern route across the continent via the Northern Pacific railroad. There is reason to believe that the comple tion and opening of this road will ensure to Portland a weekly line of European steam ships, and make the regular importing of goods as a distinct business, possible to her mer chants. It is believed that this road can be built and opened up to Portland within two or three years from this time, if Portland and the towns adjacent to the line will build the road to the State line of Vermont. It is further believed that this can be done on a stock subscription of $1,000,000, perhaps something less. It is be lieved a liberal individual subscription can he obtained in this city, and as much more in town and individual subscriptions upon the line of.the road, ard thatjtbe city in its munic ipal capacity will willingly subscribe the dif ference. It is also believed that unless the city will do this the road cannot be bnilt. it is Deueveu mat me valuation ot this city will be largely increased by such action, and taxation proportionally lessened. If the valuation of the city shall be increased only two millions (and it will be many times more) at the present tax rate the income will exceed the interest upon the city’s stock, should it be entirely lost, which is not probable, and an in crease of three millions will afford an income sufficient to pay interest and create a sinking fund to take care of the debt itself within a few years. It is believed, with good reason, that the con necting roads and transportation lines, to be benefitted by the opening of this route, will furnish substantial aid equivalent to any loss likely to occur in negotiating the securities that will be put upon the market to construct the road, ensuring the building of the road at the lowest rates for cash. Such are some of the opinions, right or wrong, of the writer, who is interested in the business and prosperity of the city, who desires to see its financial and municipal affairs eco nomically but wisely administered, and who be lieves in the Ogdensburg railroad, and did not Remonstrate. State News. KENNEBEC COUNTY. The Gardiner Reporter well says the fortuj natc termination of the accident on the P. K. road the other day, is but another instance of the uniform good fortune which has attend ed this road in this respect. We doubt if there is another railroad in the conntry which has had so few accidents occur on its track. It Bpeaks volumes in favor of the care taken by the company and its employees. We learn from the Gardiner Reporter that Mr. and Mrs. William Wakefield, of that city, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage relation on Monday evening last, by a social meeting of friends at their house. At West Waterville is a shirt factory which employs forty hands on the premises and work is given out to one hundred persons. One hun dred dozen shirts are made bach month. PENOBSCOT COUNTY. Thb Dexter Gazette says that the Dexter Newport Railroad Company has completed a contract with Atkins Brothers, of Pottsville, Pa., for the rails, to be delivered on the first of April next. They are to be 30 feet rails, made of the very best iron. The grading of the road has been done in the bjst manner making a more than ordinary firm and permanent bed. The sleepers which are being furnished, are of the best kind, and it is the determination of the Directors that the whole construction shall be completed in the most substantial and per mauent manner. SOMERSET COUNTV. Last Friday night a fire broke ont in Skowhe gan in a three strry wooden building known as theExcelsior Factory, occupied by the following named firms: Alva Abbott, planing mill; loss $3000—no insurance.

Half of the bridge crossing tho river was burned. Total loss by the fire 829,700. Total insurance $.5000. WASUINQXON COUNTY. The Eastport Sentinel, says several persons were to leave that place Wednesday morning on a hunting expedition to Grand lake; provi sions, ammunition &c., sufficient for a cruise of ten or twelve days were provided. The horses were harnessed early, and quite a num ber of friends collected around the team to see them off; but they had hardly gone a rod be fore one of the horses fell with a broken leg having received a kick from the leader. This’ horse was owned by Mr. Enoch Bishop, and was a heavy and powerful animal; and wil he quite a los3, as It was found that it was necessary to shoot him. A man by the name of Vose, belonging in Chariestows, Mass., took the stage at St. Croix Exchange, on Wednesday last, for Eastport, to meet the Boston boat, and died on the way from congestion of the lungs, savs the Calais’ Advertiser. The Calais Advertiser understands the Bar ing and Princeton Railroad has paid the inter est on the Calais city bonds the past season and expended a considerable amount on the road, and in covering the bridge at Sprague’s The Calais Advertiser says a man by the name of S. D. Rhodes arrived]tbere on last Saturday week, in company of a young lady by the name of Ellen M. Shaw, belonging to Brewer, and put up at the St. Croix Exchange The gentleman soon after his arrival procured a marriage license and got married. About the same time he was arrested by Deputy Sheriff f'arbox, ou a charge ol horse-stealin" and on Wednesday last was taken back to, Bangor, where he was detained for trial. The young lady was loll at the Exchange, being too sick to travel. It seems there was a fune ral in the town.the day they came off, and the girl’s father and mother attended it, and in their absence she procured the horse and sleigh on the pretence ot going to the funeral also but instead of doing so, sho put her clothes into a trunk, and the trunk into the sleigh, and met the chap at a place agreed upon and' started with him for Calais. When they got to Beddington their horse gave out, and they came they oame the rest of the way by stage The girl’s father is a Baptist minister, and a very respectable man, and the mother is a nice woman. The daughter is only about seventeen years of age. Her folks say they’ll take her back if she will have nothing more to do with the fellow, but not otherwise. How the matter will end remains to be see. YORK COUNTY. The Saco Courier learus that Win. Noyes, Esq., of that city, has made arrangements to establish a Democratic paper at Rockland. Mr. Shaw, says the Courier, is anxious to sell him the Democrat establishment back again and has made him a very liberal offer; Mi. N.’ however, has declined to repurchase, feeliug that he can locate to better advantage in Knox County. The Courier says a day or two belore the re cent fire in Adams’s Block, Biddeford, Mr. Walter S. York, Insurance Agent, whose of nee wiis in the second floor, had about ftixhuu dred dollars of the Company’s money which he intended to send in in a few days._ Not having a safe he placed it in a cigar box which he secreted in his wood pile in the clos et. During the tire his room was cleaned out ot everything but his wood pile, and on re turning and looking over the ruins, he found the old cigar box and the money all right. e learn from the Saco Courier that on Friday morning the barn and large house owned by Uie Water Power Company, and sit uated on Nason’s Hill, Biddeford. were burned. Five French families occupied the house. It was once an aristocratic mansion in the oldest settlement of Biddeford city limits. Water in wells and tanks at the Kittery Na vy Yard having completely given out,—half a mile or so (3500 feet) of hose was laid to bring a supply from the pond near Love Lane in Kittery, on Thursday, across the bridge. 1’ortluaid ami Vioiulty.

WASHINGTON. THE ENGLISH MISSION. Washington, Feb. 8.—The Blairs are urg ing the appointment of David Dudley Field .ntticr for Minister to England or for Secretary ol 6tate. AN OBSTINATE WITNESS. jjjsVv York, Feb. 8.—The editor of the paper in*whi.: appeared the charge against Judge Field. re.’u-seil to disclose the name of the au thor of tho article to the Judiciary Committee, and he was tallowed further time'to reconsider his refusal. THE rltKSlDENtV REPLY TO GRANT. The President's rejoinder to Grant will probably be printed on Monday, but it is not certain that any members of the Cabinet, ex cept Welles and Browning, will sign it. If cot printed by Monday, Eldridge will call for it in the House. Another special says, on the best authority, that the President’s responso to Gen. Grant will be banded the latter to-day. COUNSEL FOR THE GOVERNMENT. Mr. H. Carpenter has been retained by Mr. Btanton to represent the Government in cases where Stanberry declines to appear. the TOBACCO TAX. The Ways and Means Committee are still engaged on the tobacco question. They are fully determined to collect the tax on tobacco, in whatever form, by a stamp duty, though how they will manage about cigars has not vet been decided. They have also agreed that to bacco in bond shall not be tiansported except fov the purpose of exportation, and each box so transported must have a fifty cent stamp, thus constituting a sort of export duty. THE PRESIDENT REASSURED. A Washington special says the President's opponents are determined to impeach or sus pend him, but ho has numerous assurances from his own friends and the friends of the Constitution generally, of the readiness of the people and of the officers and soldie's of the army to sustain his assertion of bis legitimate rights. MORE EFFECTS OF CHAMPAGNE—QUARREL BE TWEEN SEWARD AND THE BRITISH MIN13 iU*. The Weld lias the following: Mr. Thornton, the new British Minister, met Mr. Seward at a private reception last e-ening. It is reported that either the ono or the other of these diplo matists, or a third party standing by, made some casual allusion to the critical relations between the British Government and that of the United States, whereupon Mr. Thornton stroking his whiskers after the true British stylo,used Mr. Seward's words to this effect: “I do not desire, to have any trivial conversation with the Secretary of State in regard to the so called Alabama claims or any kindred subject. Whatever remarks I might make upon such matters I prefer to reduce to writing and sub mit at the proper time." Mr. Thorntou’s man ner while saying this is understood to have i been so irritating as to induce Mr. Seward to respond, if not directly to Mr. Thorutou.at I least aside, substantially as follows: “It would not be amiss for the Minister from Great Brit ain to return and obtain from Her Majesty’s i Government at home such definite ideas upon matters now pending between the United States and Great Britain as would render him less ostentatiously indiscreet." THE PROPOSED PURCHASE OF THE PEKIKSULA OP 0AMAKA. The mission of Gen. Pujol here for the sale of the Sarnana peninsula is very likely to prove a failure. Tt is now ascertained that Baez, the leader ot the diaffected party in St. Domingo, has sent an agent to New York who is at pres ent staying there awaiting further develop ments before coming to Washington to negoti ate with Secretary Seward for the sale of Sam ana. If Baez be surccseful Pnjol'a authority for disposing of a portion of St. Domingo will of course be repudiated and Baez be allowed the opportunity ot striking a bargain for Sam ana with Secretary Seward. Before contem plating the purchase Mr. Seward waits to see who is destined to become ruler of St. Domin RO. PKATH OF S. M. M KEAN. S. M. McKean, disbursing clerk in the Treas ury Department, in the Secretary’s office, died here this morning, in the 70th year of his age. FINANCIAL.

WAftanfOTOX, Feb. 8.—Immediately after the reading of the journal, the House went into Committee of the Whole for general de bate on the President’s annual message. Mr. Hunter addressed the House on the finance question. He argued that the cause ot the present depression in business arose 1st, from the partial lailure of the crops; 2d, from the contraction policy of the Secretary of the Treasury; 3d, from the action of the Democratic party in delaying the reconstruc tion ot the seceded States. He believed that* repudiation was not only the desire but the intention of the Democratic party if it carried Uie^ next election. His own* remedy for the difficulty was as follows: 1st, that only taxes enough should be levied to pay the interest on the public debt and the current expenses of the Government, leaving the principal until the country shall be in a prosperous condition; 2d, those taxes should not bo levied so as as to make every man pay according to his worth but exclusively on luxuries, the favored classes and the wealth of the country, removing taxa tion from the laboring aud producing interests of the country; 3d, all the 5-20 bonds which are payable at the pleasure of the Govern ment five years after date, should be declared due aud payable at this time, and payable iu the lawful currency of the United States or exchangable at the pleasure of the holder into six per cent, long bonds, payable principal and interest in coin, untaxable, but with a deduc tion of one per cent, to be distributed to the States according to population. Mr. Stevens of New Hampshire next ad dressed the House on the question ot general politics. He declared that the majority in Congress were not responsible for the present disturbed condition of the country, nor for the burdens now resting on the people. The re sponsibilities Jay on the people of the South and their allies in the North. The rebellion had been a Democratic rebellion, the opposi tion to the army had been a Democratic one, and the failure to restore the rebel States was m consequence of Democratic opposition. Mr. Clark of Ohio next addressed the Com mittee on the subject of the National banks, the currency, the public debt, &c. He favored paying the principal of the 5 20’s in lawful currency, and the substitution of greenbacks for National bank notes, but in such a manner as not to do wrong or injury to the banks, which he thought could not he wound up without great evils to the country. He was in I favor of the free banking system but would j have no banks of issue, the currency being j limited to greenbacks and currency. Mr. Johnson next addressed the Committee on the general political questions of the day, after which the Committee rose and the House adjourned. ALABAMA. THE VOTE ON THE CONSTITUTION.

KISSCELLANEOIJ8. 540 MILES' OF THE i I TJIVI ON Pacific Railroad Hanning West from Omaha, Across tlie ContinieiiS,! ARE NOW COMPLETED, THE TRACK BEING I-AID AND TRAINS RUN NING Within Ten Miles of the Summit of the Rocky Mountains. 1 he remaining ten miles will bo finished as soon as the w eather permits thojroad-bcd to be sufficiently packed to receive the rails. The work continues to be pushed forward in the rock cuttings on the west ern slope with unabated energy, and a much larger i»rce will be employed during the current year than ever before. The prospect that the whole Grand Line to the Pacific Will bo Completed ill 1870, Was never better. The menus so lar provided for cosslmcUon has proved ample, and there is no lack ot funds for the most vigorous prosecution of tlio en terprise. These means are divided into four classes: 1.—EXITED STATES ItiJXDS, Having thirty years to run, and bearing six per cent, cnriency interest, at the rate of $16,000 per mile for BIT miles on the Plains; then at the rate of $48,COO per mile lor 160 miles thrpugh the Ilocky Mountains; then at the rate of $82,000 per mile lor t lie remaining distance, for which the United States takes a second lien as security. The interest on theso bonds is paid by the United States Government, which also pays the Company one-half the amount ol its bills in money ior transpsrtatmg its trelght, troops, mails, &c. The remaining half of theso bills Is placed to the Company’s credit, and ioreis a sinking lund which may finally discharge the whole amount of this lien. 2—FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS By its charter tho Company is permitted to issue Its own First Mortgage Bonds to the same amount as the Bends issued by the ’’government, and no more, and only as tne road progresses. The Trustees tor the Bondholders, are the Hon. E. D. Morgan, U. S. Senator from New York, and tho Hon. Oakes Ames, member ot the U. S. House ot Representatives, whs ore responsible for tho delivery of those Bonds to the Company ia accordance with the terms of the law. 3--THE LAND GRANT. The Union Pacific Railroad Company has a land grant or absolute donation from the government ot 12,800 acres to the mile on tho line of tho road, which will not bo worthless than $1.50 per acre, at tho low est valuation. 4—THE CAPITAL STOCK. The authorized capital of tho Union Pacific Rail road Company Is $100,000,000, of which over $8,500, 000 have boon paid on the work already done. THE Means Sufficient to Build the Road. Contracts for the ontire work ot building 914 milos of first-class railroad west from Omaha, comprising much of the most difficult mountain work, and em bracing every expense cxcopt surveying, have been mado with responsible partieB (who have already fin ished ovor WO miles), at the average rate of sixty eight thousand and fifty-eight dollars ;($68,058) per mile. This price includes all necessary shops lor construction and repairs ot cars, depots, stations, aud all other incidental buildings, and also locomo tives, passenger, baggage, and freight cars, and oth er requisite rolling stock, to an amount that shall not be loss than $5,000 per mile. Allot ing the cost of the remaining one hundred and eighty-six of the eleven hnndred miles assumed to be built by the Union Pacific Company to be $90/00 per mile, The Total Cost of Eleven Hundred RVileo will be us follows i 914 miles, at $6^/56 $62/05/12 186 miles, at $90/00, lG,7t0,000 Add discounts on bonds, surveys, Ac, 4,500,000 Amount, $83,445,012 As the U. S. Bonds are equal [to money, and the Company's own First Mortgage Bonds bavo a ready market, wc have as the Availnble Cash Resources for Building Eleven Hundred Jliles s U. S. Bonds. $29,328/00 First Mortgage Bonds, 29,328/00 Capital Stock paid in on tho work now done,8,500/00 Laud Grant, 14,080/00 acres, at $1.50 por acre, 21,120/00 Total, $88,276,000 The Company have ample facilities for supplying any deficiency that may arise in m«Ms tax construc tion. This may be done wholly or in part by addl ditional subscriptions to the capital stock. Earnings of the Company. At present, the profits of the Company are derived only from its local trafic, but this is already much more than sufficient to pay the interest on all the Bonds th Company can issue, if not another mile were built. It is not doubted that when the road is completed the through traffic of the only line con nectihg the Atlantic and Pacific States wi 1 be large beyond precedent, and, as there will be no compe tition, it can always be done at profitable rates. It will bo noticed that the Union Pacific Railroad Is, in faet, a Government Work, built under the su pervision of Government officers, and to a large ex tent with Government money, and that Its bonds are issued under Government direction. It is be lieved that no similar security is so careftilly guard ed, and certainly no other is based upon a larger or more valuable property. The Company’s First Mortgage Bonds Arc now ottered at „ar. Tliey pay Six Per Cent, in Gold! and bave thirty years to run before! maturity.— Subscriptions will be received tn Portland by SWAN BARRETT, NO. 13 EXCHANGE STREET, and In Now York at tho Company Office, No. 20 Nassau Street, aud by CONTINENTAL NATIONAL BANK, No. 7 Nas sau Street.
