Portland, Aug 29,-dt DAILY PRESS. PORTLAND. Tuesday Morning, March 31, 18 eg. military Clorrrnmeut Continued. Alabama has refused to reconstruct in ac cordance with the requirements of Congress. Arkansas is yet debatable ground, with tbe probabilities at present rather against tbe rat ification of the new constitution. The other rebel States, except South Carolina and Mississippi, may refuse to accept the over tures of the general government, no matter in what form they come or how their original terms may; be modified. liat is to be doue Suppose it be grant ed that during the term of the present Con gress the whole South will inevitably fail to entitle itself to restoration to its practical re lations with the Union on any basis that con templates the commission of the government of the several States to the loyal people, how shall the case be met? To this question the reactionary party has had an answer, swift and exultant, for mauy months ready for the contingency—admit the Senators and Repre sentatives of the provisional State govern ments at once. There are many purblind and unreflecting partisans who really think this thing will be done. They think they sec this very hour the complete failure of the Congressional policy, and expect to see the representatives of Andrew Johnson’s arbitra ry and unlawful constituencies file into the House of Representatives and the Senate Chamber, the peers of the patriots of the fortieth Congress. It can't be done. Certainly the fortieth Congress cannot do it. By as solemn pledges as ever bound a people’s representatives, it has promised to insure to the loyal inhabi tants of the Sonth security for the future. Should it, from motives of timidity or for the accomplishment of some partisan purpose, now deliver the true and good men of ten States over to the tender mercies of the par ty so Jong and so wickedly dominant in the South and that would be the exact thing, done in acknowledging the validity of tile Johnson constitutions—it would justly mer it and inevitably receive curses more bitter than the Rump” which is tauntingly called its prototype ever received from the maddest partisan of the Stuarts. Not only Thaddeus Stevens, but the people of the United States, want to see the man who dares” to break the plighted faith of the nation. Suppose the forty-first or the forty-second Congress should be Democratic, and the ten States now denied representation should still be in their present disorganized condition, what course would be taken? If a Demo cratic Congress should pursue the line of con duct indicated by the press, the public men and the platforms of that party, and admit Southern representatives, under the provi sional constitutions, it would commit crimes and follies of which the following ate the more gross and palpable: It would rob several hundred people of a vested right, which they have not forfeited by any crime. It is an axiom alike of morals and politics that a civil or political right once vested becomes indefeasible. Give a man the ballot once, and, if he commit no sin against the State, lie is entitled to hold it so long as he lives. This principle is recognized in States where an educational qualification is prescrib ed for voters. In such cases the limitation of the franchise has reference only to those per sons who may become of age or beocrae citi zens subsequent to the amendment of the constitution. Second, it would contradict iu the most hyp ocritical manner its own theory with respect to States. That theory is that the people have a right to the absolute control of the franchise in their own States. The qualifica tions of voters are to be fixed independently of dictation from any exterior source. How then can it recognize constitutions and con stituencies created by the Jiat of the Execu tive? Third, it would introduce into the national legislature and ultimately into the electoral college, an element still unmistakably hostile to the institutions of our common country “"d Kentucky stamp, where “My Maryland” and tde "uou nie Blue Flag" are still the popular music, and the Mars anti Bars” is still a sacred emblem, are enough. No Democratic power will hold sway under the statue of Freedom that crowns the dome of the capitol, until the consummation of the great work of establishing democratic institu tions,‘committed to the Bepublican party,has been accomplished. There remained then to a possibly unrepentant South—military government. This is not, though the words strike unpleasantly on the ear, as a matter of fact, a terrible calamity, but rather for the time a merciful providence. Gen. Meade is not at all one’s ideal of a cruel and unscrupu lous military satrap—nor Schofield, Canby, or Gillem. Instead of spilling the blood of inno cent citizens, they protect the weak and un fortunate from wrong and oppression; thev preserve the peace; they sustain the Freed men’s Bureau in its charitable dispensations to black and white alike, and in the establish ment and maintenance of schools; they guard the civil rights of all classes of citizens. Their rule has so fr.r been utterly a stranger to those high-handed acts of tyranny which are popularly supposed to be the inevitable concomitants of military government. Their sway has been characterized by the best qual ities of civil .authority, with an infusion of greater energy and efficiency than has hither to marked civil governments in the South. We would not by any means be understood to underrate the importance of a speedy res toration of civil authority. The genius of our institutions demands such restoration at the eailiest moment it becomes consistent with justice; but until then military govern ment is the only alternative. Till a return of sanity to the minds of the late rebels, it is tire least of two evils, and must be continued whatever party is in power. Dominion of Canada. THE NEW INSURANCE BILL. A good deal of commotion has been caused in business circles by the bill regulating In surance Deposits, introduced by the Hon. Mr. Rose, Minister of Finance. This bill le quires that every Insurance Company doing business in the Dominion shall taka, out a license from the Minister of Finance, at the same time depositing with the Receiver General a sum of not less than 8100,000 from every Insurance Company, and $30,000 from every Guaranteed, Accident and Five Company, every company carrying on more than one description of business making a sepcrate deposit for each branch of its busi ness, except life and accident, which shall be deemed as one branch, these deposits to be invested in Dominion stock in trust for the solvency of the company, and for the protec tion of the public. The bill also provides that no company shall carry on business in Canada unless possessed of $100,000 paid up, unimpaired capital, wsver and above the amount of deposit, nor shall any license issue except upon sworn statement to this effect. To the provisions of this bill the insurance agents and others interested in that business strenuously object. They declare, first, that the deposit required is much too large; and they object, too, to that clause in the bill which requires them to convert their present Government five per cent, stock into Domin ion stock, urging that they will lose thirteen per cent, by the operation. It Is asserted that under the plausible pretext of giving greater security to insurers, the bill is simply introduced to provide for the sale of a million of dollars of Dominion stock; but the amount of the deposit provided for will be no guar antee of the solvency of the companies. The insurance men say that if the bill is passed in its present shape fifteen first-class British and fourteen American offices will be driven out of Canada. It appears that the American offices are willing to deposit Irom $100,000, to $200,000 worth of thalr own securities, if ac cepted hy Government as a pledge of good faith in carrying out their engagements, hut that the Minister of Finance insists, on the other hand, that the deposit should be in Dominion stock. The New York State law forbids New Yoik offices to invest any por tion 01 their funds in a foreign country, and if the bill, therefore, become law, the New York offices must retire or forfeit their char ters. The other American offices doing busi ness in Canada are understood to be prepared to comply with a moderate progressive invest ment law,commensurate with the busmess they do in the Dominion ;but, in consequence ol the great difference in exchange between the United States and Canada, it would press hard on them, if they were uow forced to in vest in Dominion stock. It is further claim ed hy the agents that, if the bill pass in its present shape, the whole iusurance business of the country will be thrown into the hands of six or seven of the larger British {offices; while, if the amount of deposit was reduced to jioO,000, smaller offices would come in un der the provisions of the hill, stringent and onerous as they are. It is understood that Mr. Kose advocates the full text of bis meas ure, and declines to amend it in any form. It any amendments are made, they will have to be carried into the Committ pe of the Whole. YAHIOa* MATTERS. Rumors of Cabinet charges have again been rife. It was reported that a solution of the difficulties in that body had been found In the retirement of Mr. McDougall to take the vacant Collectorship of Toronto and ot Mr. Howland on account of ill health. Next Mr. Tilley was to be got rid ot, and then a purely Tory government would be formed. Later advices deny tbese statements, but a general impression prevails that a breakup is imminent. An Ottawa dispatch says a good of feeling exists there in reference to the delay of the announcement of the government ])olicy upon the Intercolonial Lailway route. It is generally understood that the northern route is fixed upon. The proposal for a further survey is believed to be merely a ruse to gain time. The depression under which the ship building business with us at present labors is not unfelt in the Provinces of the Domin ion. The St. John Journal says that it is usual to see in that city 20,000 tons or more of newshipping on the stocks. At present there are- only about eight or nine small vessels building, and only one square-rigged vessel in the house in the harbor. There is no encouragement afforded just now to send, new ships to the home market, and no new contracts are being made. A few colonial built ships, recently offered for sale at Liver pool, were withdrawn. As a remedy, In pait, for this depressed state of the trade the Journal thinks that St. John builders will have ultimately to direct their attention to the construction of higher class ships than the ordinary tamarack vessels, and also to compete with the old country in the con •tiuction ot compos I to ships. The Entcrpriae nml Unxer. To the Editor of the Press: Tne following extract relating to the en gagement between the Enterprise and Box er, is taken from a letter written by Stephen Patten of this town, to his parents Sept. 7th. 1813. I think it has sufficient Interest to find a place in your paper: I have just returned from an awful scene produced by Madison's wicked and unneces R^r,Y«war* United States brig Enterprise ot 16 guns came into this port on Frida? last from Portsmouth. On Saturday she sailed on a cruise for the protection of this coast. On Sunday at half-past three o’clock she fell in with the Boxer, an English brig ot 14 guns. A desperate action commenced withiu pistol shot ot each other, and continued 45 minutes, B°xer struck to the American flag. The Enterprise in company with her prize en tered into our harbor last evening. I have just returned from visiting both vessels. The En terpnze was considerably injured in her hull also in her spars and rigging. The Captain was killed and three men; several badly wounded; the Boxer was nearly a wreck, e ving toPma*ts carried away with most of the spars, and the bull very much injured. The Captain was killed; some sav thirty meuJdlled; it is not, as yet known how many, as the dead were thrown overboard during the action; 15 or 20 badly wounded. The two Cap tains were brought into port and will be buried to-morrow afternoon with the tespect due to their bravery. \ou will doubtless have all the particulars of this bloody battle in a few days, from the Of tie 'tiraVery'iM1‘»S^'li!i.^i;h..apotn(>r proof proper element." Mr. Patten tlie writer of this letter was son of Willis Patten of Amesbury, Mass, and was born there in 1705. He graduated at Dart mouth college in 1790, and .the same year, he commenced keeping a Grammar school In Boston, which he kept three years. In 1993 he came to Portland and opened the first bookstore which had been undertaken in the State. He afterwards was appointed a teach er in one of the Public schools in Portland, and was finally established in the centre school house, which stood on Congress street, opposite Dr. Dwight's church, and which was destroyed in the fire of 18t6. Mr. Pat ten's school was on the lower floor of this building; the Acadamy was opened in 1803 on the second floor under the preceptorsbip of Mr. Payson, afterwards the distinguished Pastor of the Second Parish. I attended up on each of th°se schools, into which girls as well as boys were received. Mr. Patten, after many years devoted to the task of teaching, joined his old friend Isaac Adams in the bookselling business, in a wooden store wiiich stood on the site now occupied by the Ocean Insurance Co. on Exohange street. Eleazer A. Jenks and Arther Shirley occupied the s?cond story for publishing the “Old Portland Gazette,” which wa3 edited by Isaac Adams, who was also a proprietor of the paper. Mr. Patten was many years town clerk ot Portland. He was twice married; his first wife was Susan,daughter of Thomas Hopkins and sister of Janies D. Hopkins, for many years a prom'.nent lawyer in Portland. She died in 1810, and he married for his sec ond wife, the widow of Captaiu Dan iel Lowell, by whom he had several child ren, the youngest is our fellowcitizen, the popular Auctioneer. Mr. Patten died in 1855 5t the age of 93 years, having passed through a cheerful and vigorous old age. He was a man of intelligence, fine manners, a high ton ed federalist and a most pleasant and genial companion. Tbe funeral of tbe officers of tbe contend ing vessels, referred to in Mr. Tatten’s letter! was a most solemn occasion. A long process ion of the military and citizens on the 8tb. of September took the bodies from the shattered vessels at the end of Union wharf,.and moved with mournful music to the church of the Second Parish, where religious services were perfotmed; the bodies were then laid side by side in the Eastern Cemtery, where they no.v repose under a monument erected by Silas E. Burrows of Xew York, a relative of the American captain. In the proce&ion, and as chief mourners, were Comodore Hull, the surviving officer of the Enterprise and Boxer, the town authorities, members of Con gress &c. A deep gloom pervaded the whole community, and the occasion was one of the most impressive, it hn3 been my privelege to witness. I saw the noble officers in their shrouds, the llags of their respective coun tries, the bloody decks, the broken masts, and riddled sails. 1 watched with deep sensation the two vessels slowly moving up the harbor on the afternoon of the Oth and quietly tak ing their position at the end of Union wharf. The victory was one of great importance as giving additional proof of the skill and brave ry of our naval officers and men, and renew ed assurance that we could cope with the power that claimed supremacy od the seas.— Our naval victories secured a speedy peace and gave our country a prestige upon the Ocean which she has never lost. W. Democratic Reform is New York.—The World promised that great reforms, especially in regard to economy and the purity ol legisla tion, should be inaugurated by the Democratic majority in the State Assembly. Where are they? It is pretty notorious that the ring never was so compact, so powerful or so relent less in the Legislature as it is now.—and the passage of hills giving S7fi0,000 to threeJ^®1'** roada docs does look very much like econo my.

To the Editor of the Erett: The name of the Normal School occurring now and then in the legislative proceedings affords no satisfactory idea of an Institution, which is to prove a great and enduring bless ing to our State. It js necessary to go and se- and hear what is doing there, to gain the conviction one needs in order to speak to others of its excellence. The spring term has already commenced, under the care of Mr. Gage, Principal, and Mr. Woodbury, with Misses Coffin, Sears and Farle, assistants. A very able corps, is the least we can say of them—all. But it is school-time and the pupils are Winding their way, bright and vigorous with the inspiration of these fine frosty mornings, to the edifice standing on an eminence in the centre of the village; attractive aud Im posing for its beautiful architectural proportions and its fine classic air. The premises are qniet. Of rowdyism, sometimes the pest of higher institutions of learning no sign is seen. Young ladies and gentle men. here gathered from reputable families, intend by their correct demeanor to lender the establishment as noted tor a school of good morals and manners as ii is for ju rare educational privileges. You are honored with a seat upon the plat form with the teachers. You can look around the spacious and convenient loom, where are seated 125 scholars, the larger number being young women. It is an inspir ing view, as you cast your eyes upon this mass of vitalized intellect—beaming, here with chastened beauty, and there with ex pressive manliness, from these varied counte nances. An impressive scene, while reflect ing on the future of these sons and daughters who are to bo scattered over our State as in structors of our youth. You will witness the adroitness and tact of the teachers in the skilful appliances of their methods of instruction, and the facility of the pupils in receiving lessons at their lipe, and especially the thoroughness of the whole sys tem It is teach and learn; give and receive; not an idle moment; not a lazy laggard lace do you see; the whole is a scene ot concen trated earnestness on the part of the teacher and the taught. 1 inquired the number of pupils, already obt lined. Ninety-nine, was the answer. I should like to make the one hundredth myelf. As to government, it would he presumed that the scholars are of sufficient age and dis creticn tb govern themselves; yet the wise and efficient administration of a wholesome discipline is perceptible and felt and acknowl edged by the school. Nor Is a knowledge of this safe and easy control of governors over the governed, the least important illustration of the theory of teaching, which the pupils obta a. Here they bring, each his own sack of grain to the mill; or call it geld or silver ore; here it is to be run over again—recast and moulded, polished aDd stamped, while the hope and prayer is, from many hearts that when each scholar shall go forth with hU diploma, well-deserved, there shall be alto a sealing upon if of the Great Spirit, even by Him who hath said,— “Behold I make all things new.” ___I.

I thought what a strange idea that was. But do you know that I hare lived to see that true; I hare seen it done.

This document, it is stated, names the eldeBt son of King George as the Duke’s heir to the sover eignty ot Bruuswick, and leaves the whole of his property to his Majesty’s family. The lat ter consists of a considerable sum of money, several castles, aud the Duchy of Oels, in Si lesia, which covers a territory of tbirty-two German square miles. It is said that Prussia also has a claim to the succession of Bruns wick on the demise of the present sovereign. —Mr. Goldwin Smith expresses the opinion that “the root ot the monarchy is dead” in Great Britain. —Cholera, tornadoes, yellow fever are no longer to be bad at St. Thomas.

So the matter remains unsettled. —This, from the Independent, is rather a neat way of doing np a constitutional ques tion: “Michigan is sitting with her finger on her forehead, pondering the question, Is the negro a man?” _ V special license has to be obtained for anyemarriage solemnized in England after 12 o’clock, noon. _ —Rev.

The most perfect har mony prevails io the loyal ranks, the en thusiasm of the public meetings is beyond auvthing heretofore known in Connecticut. The Democrats sent Dean, Burr and Pomeroy out of the State out of deference to the more respectable members ot their party, but the “groundlings” will listen to no one else. Is the Vanderbilt-Drew tight, the former seems just now to have the advantage. The Albany legislature has lefused to legalize the last issue ol teu millions of Erie stock, Drew is still skulking in New Jersey and Vauderhilt is still investing largely in the stock of the road, hoping soon to' obtain a controlling inter est. The public sympathy seems to be with Vanderbilt. Cabalistic.—Somebody of monkish tastes imparts tho following important farts: During eleven Presidential campaigns there have been candidates iu whose names a capital C occurred, none of whom were elected, namely. Charles C. Pinckney, twice a candidate; Geo. Clinton; Dc Witt Clinton; William H. Craw ford; Henry Clay, three times a candidate; Lswis Cass; John C. Fremont; George B. McClellan. According to ‘hese mysterious propoundings it is difficult to see anything in the way of Grant. The New Hampshire Canvass.—The fol lowing table exhibits in a striking manner the remarkable accuracy of the New Hampshire Bepublican canvass: Hepinbliean Canvass. Actual Vote. Dem. Cauvais. Harrimau 39,833 39,779 34,162 Sinclair 30,643 37,200 37,136 Scattering 30 Total 76,431 77,068 71,898 It will be seen that the canvass is within 05 of their actual vote and within C12 of the Dem ocratic vote. Tlie most of tho 612 Democratic surplus is accounted for by the activity dis played in making out naturalization papers after the canvass was completed. The same table.shows that the Democrats did not come, to uso a homely expression, “within a row of apple trees” of the truth. The Alabama Bill.—Congress is not yet prepared to assume control of suffrage in the States, as may he seen by the proceedings in the House on Saturday. The Committee on Reconstruction reported back the hill ad mitting Alabama amended by adding a third section which lorbado the people to change the franchise clause of the constitution as it now stands. This third section was rejected by a vote of 74 to 33, after being vigorously opposed by Mr. Bingham and other Republi cans. Mr. Stevens’s substitute which was still moro general in its terms, and established universal suffrage in all the States by act of Congress, was then rejected without division. The next step was to adopt Mr. Spaulding’s substitute, which is nearly identical with the Stewart hill in the Senate. Tho Stewart bill is denominated “a hill to provide a temporary aud provisioual government for Alabama.” The Constitution submitted fur ratification t'eli. 4 is declared to be the fundamental law lor a provisioual government, and the officers then elected shall qualify aud enter upon the dis charge of their duty. The government may thereafter convene tho Legislature chosen at said election; and the Legislature is empow ered to resubmit said constitution, proposed by itself, with or without amendments, to the qualified electors of Alabama for ratification, at such time as it may designate. Whencve,. a majority vote shall have ratified the consti titution so submitted, and the Legislature shall have ratified the amendment to the con stitution of the United States known as the fourteenth article, the constitution of Alaba ma may be presented to Cougress for approv al. The District Commanders aro required to furnish all necessary aid in enforcing these provisions, and the Reconstruction act of March 2,1867, is continued in lorce as modi fied thereby until tho State shall be resto red to representation. Chicago and the New York Central.— It appears that the Chicago Board of Trade is not well pleased with Mr. Vanderbilt’s no tion of controlling all the great lines of trans portation from the West to tho seaboard. It is an impossible task which Mr. Vanderbilt has undertaken. Even if he should succeed in controlling the Erie road, he will then have only the roads leading to New York city. That would indeed be a tremendous mo nopoly. But meanwhile suppose the Portland aad Ogdonsburg railroad pushed forward to completion simultaneously with the Ontario Lake Shore road for which the money is al ready raised! Mr. Vanderbilt would find him self suddenly called upon to encounter the competition of an HfifSeSSSon* nort two hundred and fifty miles nearer Liverpool than New York. Place Portland within 1078 miles of Chicago, with a road of her own, free from all entanglements with New York, and we shall need to ask no tavors. Give us the Niagara ship canal be sides, making Ogdensburg the eastern depot on the lakes lor Western products, and sum mer and winter the road will be overwhelmed with business. more About the Bondholder. The following from a recent letter written by Jay Cooke, shows even more clearly than the article we republished from the New York Post, the folly of attempting to excite the peo ple by constautly hallooing, “Down with the bondholder!’’ It is common for public speakers who advo cate the violation of the nation's faith by in sisting on local taxation of bonds, their pay ment in greenbacks, &c., to designate the bondholders as “rich,” as “privileged,” &c., and also to stir up the west against the cast because of the presumption that the east holds an undue proportion of the public debt. All this is mere demagoguism and willful perver sion of truth. Willi the exception of banks and savings institutions, there are not many large holders of government bonds, the great bulk being held by tbe people, not the capital ists. Out of 8,000,000 subscribers to our various public loans, over nine-tenths are of tlie class called the people. The west took $320,000,000 of the $839,000,000 7-30 loans, and, I doubt not, holds a large portion of it now, and this is as large a proportion as could be expected from a new and enterprising region where money always commands higher rates than at the seaboard. Ohio alone took over $90,000, 000, and Illinois over $70,000,000. The West was also a large taker of the 6-20 and other loans. I can substantiate these facts, for I have taken the trouble to analyze each day’s subscriptions with the above result. Again, how can the bondholders be consid ered a privileged class? Duriug the entire sale of these bonds, they were offered free! v, at par, to any one. Even the owner ot $50 was not excluded, but hundreds of thousands of these small investors came forward in all parts of the land and were gladly welcomed. The small premium to which our bonds have advanced is no impediment in tbe way of any who really wish to obtain them, and even now the daily demand from this class of in vestors i s tar greater than that of any other class. Political Note*. The Washington correspondent of a West ern paper writes: “Boutweil is the black haired energy of this impeachment; Bingham holds the helm; Butler is in the maintop, with a carbine to pick the enemy oil by glib shots; Btevens is the Admiral dying on deck; Wil son and Williams .are the hardy seamen; Lo gan is the boatswain who can yell the loudest; but Boutweil is the steady wind, blowing strong aft to carry the vessel into action.” The Kentucky Statesman says: “The cer tainty of Grant’s nomination for the Presi dency is fast drawing men to his support that have opposed the ltepublicau-party heieto fore.” The New York Leader places at the head of its columns Horatio Seymour for President and Thomas A. Kendricks f„r Vice President, and devotes two columns to the advocacy of their claiuid to a Humiliation. The people of Michigan will vote on a new constitution on the 6th of April. Thaddeus Stevens has written a letter in which he heartily endorses Grant for the Pre8 idency. His choice for Vice-President would be Wade. Among the Kepublican speakers in Con necticut we notice the name of Mrs. Susie A. English of Hartford. Senator \v ad« does not vote on questions arising during the impeachment trial, hut Senator Patterson, the 1 resident’s son-in-law, does. Secretary Stanton has issued in the form of a generaf order the act of Congress amendato ry of the act passed March 21,1867, to provide far the more efficient government of the rebel States. It is accompanied by a note by the Department of State saying that the foregoing act having been presented to the President for his approval and not having been returned by him within the time consti tutionally prescribed, had became a law with put his approval. The Extension of C engrcss tlnel, juduetapley’s opixion. S. COURT, Jaxcary Term, 18S8. DM it et alt. in Equity vt. Mayor Stevens and oth ers, city of leers, and Curtis and others, contract ors. Tapley «T. The case is now presented upon a motion to dissolve the injunction which was is sued upon a former hearing, restraining the Messrs. Curtis from proceeding to grade a por tion of Congress street according to an alleged contract. From the proofs and admissions now made it appears that the way in question had been legally established before the filing of this bid. and that a grade is now fixed tor the same, whatever may have been its Condition at Die time of the filing of the hill. That since the injunction was imposed, the city, under a modification of the decree, has settled and paid for all labor performed by the contractors upon the way. As the case is now presented it shows a legal location of the way, and a le gal establishment of the grade, and consequent ihereupon a legal liability or duty to open and keep in repair the same. No motion is made with reference to so much of the injunction as restrained the city officers, aud it becomes immaterial to inquire whether or not any restraint, rests upon the present officers of the city with reference to this matter. This uroceeuius uuiuacuwu uiiucr iuc provisions of chaj>.239 of the acts of 1861 enti tled an “Act to restrain the illegal appropria tion of public money." At a former hearing it was determined that no appropriation had been made by the city council tor the work, and that the city officers, in the absence of any action by tbe city council, could not draw from any appropriation for other purposes to pay the expense incurred under the alleged contract, and therefore the injunction issued to restrain them from so doing. Doubts existed as to the effect of the pro ceedings ot the city in reference to the grade of this street, upon the establishment of which parties interested were entitled to due notice and hearing, and, immediately after the mak ing of the alleged contract, the city govern ment ordered the suspension of labor upon the way, which order the Messrs. Curtis (the alleged contractors) disregarded; consequent ly they were also enjoined from proceeding to grade the way. All doubt as to tbe existence of a legally fixed grade at this time is now removed. The city officers regarded the injunction and did not pay until permitted by the court and di rected by tile city council. The legitimate purposes of the bill have thus been accom plished and whether we regard the injunc tion as still subsisting against the city officers 01 not, the result is the same. The contest seems now, in its legitimate bearings, to be narrowed down to the alleged contractors on the one side, and the city upon the other. The Messrs. Curtis allege they have a valid contract to grade this way duly made by and executed with the city, and desire to be reliev ed from the effects of the judicial decree en joining them. The city denies the validity of this contract. This position is also assumed by the petition ers. The subject matter being one which the city may act upou, execute and pay for, the court will uot, upou a preliminary hearing of this bill, pass upon the questions of the validity of the contract, based upou matters of form in the execution ol it That will be determined, if stall, upou another hearing, whenever the question is legitimately presented to the court. Whether the contract be binding or not up on the city they may suspend the work of grading the street and abide the consequences. The time and manner ot executing the work and the agencies through which it shall be ac complished, must be determined by the city, acting through legitimate channels. Whether this work shall or uot proceed is peculiarly a question proper for tlicir consid eration, and the responsibilities of proceeding with the work or not proceeding with it, be long to them. A new city government has now been organized and is competent, it is to be hoped, to take charge of all its municipal concerns. Should they see fit to suspend oper ations upon the work, and their directions again he disregarded, the same aid from the court lies at their command. The court will not assume they desire either the one or the other. The power to enjoin should always be cau tiously exercised, being quite arbitrary in its character and summary in its application.— The same reasons which call for the exercise of caution in its application impress the court upon all applicatious for a modification or re moval of it. 1 do not now find those exigences existing, or that danger of irremedial injury and mis chief which warrants a further continuance of this injunction. I do not find it necessary to give any opin ion as to the effect of the action of the City Council since the decree enjoining the res pondents, as it hears upon the question of rat ification or non-ratification of the alleged contract. All questions pertaining to the exis tence originally and now, of a valid and bind ing contract, between the city and Messrs. Curtis, 1 leave lor future consideration, should the question ever be legitimately pre sented. Should it be said oo the part of the petition ers that the city may allow these contractors to proceed under an illegal contract, and they thus be made liable to contribute for the expense, it may be remarked that the same mode of enforcing the present officers of the city, is now open to them, as that exercised over the former officers, should it be proved to be a case within the provision of the statute referred to. No suggestion is now made of any suppos el design upon the partof any officer of the present city government to misappropriate any of its funds and to relieve the case of any doubt concerning the effect of the injunc tion upon them I shall order that injunction as it affects all the respondents to be discharg ed. The Messrs. Fessenden appear for the Complain ants, Shepley Strout for the Messrs. Curtis and Pliineas Barnes, City Solicitor, for the city. nmer 11*0111 AugustM. The State Printing—IThe Superintendent of Common Schools—Railroad Commissioner Judge of Police Court in Bath—Pardon Cases. Augusta, March 80,1808. To the Editor of the Press It will be remembered that the Governor and Council were directed Kr co contract with some respon sible party to perform the public printing for the current year upon such terms as might be conducive to tho best interests of the State, not exceeding however, the lowest bid made for the same to the joint committee on print ing. Under this resolve, the Governor and Council, after careful consideration decided that it was their duty to retain the present contractors, Messrs. Stevens Sayward, inas much as their hid dating hack to the begin ning of tho political year, was practically low er than the limit indicated in the resolve, and also lower than that of any other applicant. Warren Johnson, A. If., of Topsham has been appointed State Superintendent of com mon schools for a term of three years; Mr. Johnson is a native of Farmington, was grad uated at Bowdoin College in 1854, and was re tained for a time as instructor iu that institu tion, but for several years past he has been principal ot the well-known Franklin Family school,a flourishing seminary located in Tops ham. By the act ot the last Legislature an officer must be provided at the seat of Government for the State Superintendent, who is to de vote all his tune to the duties of his office.— The salary is fixed at 81809 with necessary travelling expenses not to exceed 8500 in the aggregate. The appointment is regarded as one “eminently fit to be made;” and it is to be hoped that renewed interest will bo awaken ed and sustained in the cause of common school education. Hon. George P. Sewall of Oidtown has just been reappointed one of the Railroad Commissioners of the State. By an Act of the last Legislature it is made the duty of the commissioners to repair to the scene of any disaster happening iu our roads, make an examination of the facts and circumstances, and incorporate the same in their report. So efficient a member of tne board as Mr. Sewall could not be spared. Washington Gilbert has received the ap pointment of Municipal Judge oi Batli. Mr. Gilbert was duly elected by the people, but being absent at the time failed to tender a sea sonable acceptance. Thereby occurred a va cancy which has been very properly filled. Several petitions with the usual catalogue of names appended, have been presented to the Governor and Council asking for the par don of the murderer Thorn. It was assigned for a bearing in June. A pardon was refused in the case of Rufus L. Larrabee, who was convicted a year ago ot a complicity in the Durham horse butchery. The prescut session ot the council will prob ably terminate to-morrow. Damon. State Mews. Aroostook county. The town debt of Houlton has been de creased some $3000 during the past year. The present liabilities of the town are about $13, Houlton was organized as a Plantation in 1826 and was thou a part of Washington county. The Times says on the voter’s list of that year, which is well preserved, are the names of sixty voters.—At the present time hut live persons are living whose names were on that list. The Houlton Times says Sir. Kathauiel Harrington, an aged aud respectable citizen ol that place, died very suddenly on Saturday evening21st’, inst. liorn disease of the heart.

Xo doubt there were hundreds at City Hall last night that will heieaftor consider the ad vent of Dickens a great era in their lives by which the time of subsequent and previous events will be fixed. They will say that such a thing happened “about tho time Dickens was here," or just before or “just after Dick ens was here,” as our merchants may perhaps remember events by their relation in point of time to the great fire. We are not of those who account a mild lunacy on the subject of Dickens as discreditable. It “Will Sliaks peare” had come into town Saturday night on the Boston train, and taken rooms at the Pre ble House, and afterwards read “Hamlet” at Cily Hall, admitting the public at two dollars ahead, no one would think the worse of en thusiasts who went half wild about it. We caunot see the great master of the drama, but we can see and have seen a man who occupies the same relative rank in the co-ordinate sphere of fiction, thank Heaven! We sympa thize with the young ladies who sauntered by the Preble House, yesterday, with a ludicrous ly unsuccessful affectation of passing in a cas ual way, as if they were going elsewhere. They hoped to catch a glimpse ofC.D. And those young men, too,—what did they mean by constantly runuing down well-dressed strangers on the street, glancing nervously and hurriedly back as they passed? If the truth were known, they had heard of Dickens’ devotion to “constitutionals” and had an in sane idea that he might have a mind to enjoy the scenery from the Western P.'omenade. The audience last night was just large enough to enable all to be comfortably seated, and we doubt if Mr, Dickens has had more sympathetic or appreciative auditors during his peregrinations through the Atlantic States. The applause was frequent and hearty,—the more frequent and the more hearty, we have no doubt, from the fact that an expression of approval was instautly reflected in Mr. Dick ens’-face as in a mirror. Xo description we have ever seen does justice to the bonhommie and thorough geniality of his face in recogni tion of the audience, or in the expression of the kindly emotions. Xeither do the “quirks of blazoning pens” that have been hard at work in the effort ever since he landed, ap proximate to a description of tho mobility of his features, by availing him of which he is enabled to express the most delicate shades of emotion. In the Christmas Carol” there is genuine pathos and great tenderness with leavon enough of humor to lighten up the face of the reader with the beautiful smile which to the audience is like the sunshine of an April day. For Mr. Dickens’ face,like the faces ol all great men, in repose is very sad—never cold nor harsh, nor unsympathetic—hut sorrowful al most, as with the woes of the whole world. And this smile at once reveals the man— the poet and yet the man of the world— “the fellow of infinite jest.” Certainly, there cannot be better reading than that which clos es the Christmas Carol—a reading which must thrill all hearts high and low with love and charity. Scrooge's address to the boy whom he sends for the turkey, and his eulogium upon the boy when he was gone, are delicious. What a delightful boy!” “What a couversa a-tional boy." The inflection upon these words and the expression ol the reader’s face cannot be forgotten. After the “Christmas Carol” came that “lending case,” that great “precedent” for ci tation in breach of promise trials, Bardell vs. Pickwick. In this reading the individuali ty of every one of the characters was so dis tinctly preserved that it Buzfuz, Snubbin, Jus tice Stareleigh, Mr. Winkle, Sam and Tony Weller, Mrs. Cluppius and Mrs. Saunders had appeared on the stage as living beings their presence could hardly have been more fully realized. The magic of the great master made the illusion perfect. Mr. Pickwick did not make his appearance formally, but his indig nant presence was indirectly suggested, and served to heighten the general effect. But Justice Stareleigh! stupid, sleepy, Justice Stareleigh, steeped to the eyebrows in techni calities, but with rudimentary brains, was present in the foreground. He is, if we may say so, the trump card ot this reading. He convulses the audience with laughter every time he opens his lips. Sam Weller has not quite the devH-m»vo»i>w' o-t .t oi, out the merry twinkle of his eye, as he bows his acknowledgments for the little Jus tice’s amiable intentions toward his respected parent, and as be sagaciously endeavors to dis cever that portly individual in the lantern up in the roof, makes ample amends for all his shortcomings. And when the elder Weller makes an orthographical suggestion and gives a luminous legal opinion at the very close, the audience, to whom the jovial coachman is an old and highly esteemed acquaintance, is again at the very height of enjoyment. And poor trembling, distracted Mr. Winkle, let him not be forgotten. Most of us have seen him cress question to madness in an American court. All the fault that can possibly be found with this reading is that there is not enough of it. Some of the most exquisitely humorous pas sages are remorselessly omitted in Mr. Dick ens’ abridgment. spite ot all Ins popularity, perhaps uo for eign author of mark has excited a stronger un dercurrent of ill-will in this country than ilr. Dickens, and that these readings have in a con siderable degree quieted this ieeling is another proof of their merit. This ill-will of course seizes upon any available theme of cavil, and hence the talk which has been made about the paraphernalia which Mr. Dickens carries with him, the gas-burners, table, screen,etc., and th« critics do not hesitate to animadvert unon his diamonds, the parting of his hair on the back of his head, his little breast knot of rare flow ers, and the general nicety of his appearance. As tor the first ,tbe gas-lights and other ac cessories are really essential to the enjoy ment of the listener, and for the last, they no more detract from Mr. Dickens' merit as a man or as a reader than General Grant’s cigar hinders him from being a good soldier. In deed, though he may have an original love of dress, which is rather more feminine than criminal, it would be charitable and not un reasonable to suppose that Mr. Dickens’ scru pulous care in this matter is a part of the jrhole design, intended to please his audience, and if this band-box make-up” is a little un pleasant at first to our democratic simplicity, as far as we are able to judge it, finally amuses and pleases. Though a minor consideration, it is, like everything else iu these readings, carefully attended to. This is a little matter, but the same care and determined efforts to do his best marks the essential part of the per formance, as well as the minor details. There are, however, certain real drawbacks to the full enjoyment of the readings which we Americans cannot get over. The upward in flection of the voice which he constantly uses in the most positive and obtrusive manner, is at first decidedly disagreeable, and interferes very much with every one’s enjoyment of the reading, and it is not until fully interested in the theme, that tfie listener can quite forget this persistent intonation. I be most durable impression left by these readings is that of their thoroughness. We feel that nothing has been neglected that would aid in making them complete. Each word is clearly enunciated, and each inflection careful ly studied. Wo are told, aud it does not seem improbable, that each one ot bis readings haa cost Mr. Dickens six months’ preparation, and it is plain that each repetition of them is a carelul and laborious effort.. Nu out', not even Holmes’s “prahcticahl niahn,” can listen to one of these efforts without being n ade better and happier, and no critic can fail to percoive that he is hearing an uncommonly good thing of its kind. With the Dickens-lover, there is, however, a little alloy of sadness tinging his pleasure in seeing and hearing the great author. There is a sense of discomfort in the thought that however much money Dickens may make by this business, be is really a loser in the ex chequer oi the imagination. Remembering bis last great book and the charming character of the little stories he is now producing, the question comes, how long can such varied la bor last And if we must lose one or the oth er, we can cheerfully miss the accomplished reader if the genial author remains; so in Mr Emerson’s words, wo hope he will not lose his genius in the cultivation of hi* talent. I-a Guakge-Bbiunolia Operatic Concert this (Tuesday) evening. Sale of seats will commence this morning. Office of Western the Union Tbleofaph Comp .any.—The new room? of the Union Te'e graph Company, in Thomas Blopk, on Ex change street are very well planned and in a desirable location. The main office over Mer chants Exchange is a large, comodious room, well fitted up and has a finish of chestnut and black walnut. There are eight tables in this room with which are connected sixteen wires— seven to Boston, four to Bangor, three to Hal ilax and tho l’roviuces, and two to Montreal and the Canadas. Another is soon to he add ed to Boston. There are seven day, and two night operators. Back of the main room is the office'of the well-known and popular Su perintendent Mr. J. S. Bedlow, who has been connected with this company for fifteen years or more. The familiar face of Mr. .Win. P. Merrill, the cashier and treasurer of the Marine Tele graph Company is also to he seen in tho re ceiving department, where he has been for several years. “Mike” is still to be found at his nightly post turuishiDg news to appear i:i the columns of the daily papers in the morn ing. There is one operator in the Merchants i-.x change, which is connected by wire with those of Boston and New York for the express pur pose of reporting jjold and markets, the quo tations of which are received every fifteen minutes, by Mr. \Vm. K. Starr, a correct aud expert operator, and who is instrumental in furnishing our merchants with market re ports, ship and general news. There is still a branch office under Laucas ter Hall back of the Horse Railroad Depot. Tho whole in this city is under the manage ment of Mr. Charles D. Livermore, who is himself a very efficient operator and is a thor ough master of,the business. Concert this Evening.—La Grange and Brignoli. Procure the seats at S), at Bailey Noyes’ this moriiing. A Sad Case.—Mr. A. C. A. Briggs, of South Dover, Me., the father of the young man who inhaled the gas at the Walker House last week, came to this city last Saturday to see his son—who is slowly improving from the effects ot the inhalation—and stopped at the Walker House Saturday night. He went out Sunday alternoon, aud in the evening officers Mclntire and Libby found him on West Commercial street, about 8 o’clock, laboring under a fit of temporary insanity, and attracting a large crowd by his loud hallooing. They took him to the Walker House, where they had learned he was stopping, and saw him safely cared for, bnt it was not long before they were called again, the man having attempted to jnmp ont of a window which was up three stories. The officers then took him to the station house, where he seemed quite peaceable, but yester day morning officer Sterling found him iu his cell with his throat cut and the jugular vein entirely severed. He had also cut a deep gash in his arm, from which wound alone he would have bled to death. It is thought that he com mitted the act about 5 o’clock iu the morning, as he lived about thirty-five minutes after the officer found him. The wile aud mother is in the utmost distress, induced by the long aud tedious watch over the son and the terrible ca lamity of yesterday morning. It is one of the most distressing events that has ocurred in our midst for a long time. Coroner Gould held an inquest, and the jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death by his own hand, while in a state ot temporary insanity. Reception to Adjutant General Cald well.—The Portland Mechanic Blues, in strong numbers, under commaud of Captain Parker, turned out for the first time, last eve ning, to pay their respects to Geu. Caldwell, Adjutant General of the State. Accompanied by the Portland Band, they marched to the United States Hotel and gave him the compli ment of a salute, and a fine serenade by the Baud. Gen. Caldwell, in response, compli mented the company upon their reorganiza and the good spirit manifested for a revival of the independent militia in this city. He hoped the example initiated by the Portland Me chanic Blues would be followed by other corps. After a few patriotic airs from the Band the company marched to their armory, and tlieD, under command of Lieut. Pennell, escorted their commander, Capt. Parker, to his resi dence. As we have before said, this was the first ap pearance of the company under their reorgan ization. Their appearance was soldier-like and handsome; and Capt. Parker, his first ap pearance iu that capacity, appeared every inch a soldier. We congratulate the “Blues” upon their splendid prospects. Arrest.—Officer Edwin B. Smyth of tha 8th station, Boston, arrested in Bath, on Sun day, Frank Macloon ot that city, charged with manslaughter iu causing the death of Charles E.

The programme is well selected, embracing some of the most ad mired gems from the most popular modern operas.

In addition to them is the testimonial of John Sparrow, Esq., who was for many years Superintendent of the Portland Company’s Works, an 1 whose testi mony i? of exceedingly great value. We learn that a few of our prominent citi zens have taken stock in this machine, and contemplate establishing iu this city a manu factory where thty will be turned out in such quantities as may he ordered. Wo shall have occasion to refer to this subject agaiu. The office of the Company is, for the pres ent, at No. 128 Exchange street. Portland, March 14,1868. To the Agerd of the New England Chemical Fire Engine Company, Sir,—The undersigned, by request, were present and acted as a committee on the exhi bition of your chemical fire engine to-day, and take pleasure in presenting to you the follow ing report: The first trial of the capacity of your engine was on a pile of fifty barrels, onc-half rosin barrels and tiie rest lime casks, somo 45 feet high, partially filled with shavings and the re fuse of rosin and spruce gum: over the whole of which a large quantity of keroseuo oil was poured. When completely enveloped in flames a stream from your engine was played through sixty feet of hose and a quarter inch nozzle pipe, upon the lire, which was subdued in thir ty seconds, and practically suppressed in one and a half minutes. The same pile was then rekindled, and when the wood work of the barrels was thoroughly ignited, a stream simi lar to the first was discharged upon the fire, and it was completely extinguished in about three minutes. (Signed) Fred. N. Dow, Xhos.E. Twitchell, Warren Sparrow', John E. Dow. David Tucker. Chief Engineer’s Office, I Portland, March 14,1868. To the Agent of the New England Chemical Fire Engine Company, Sir,—The undersigned, Chief and Assistant Engineers of the Portland Fire Department, were present at the trial of your chemical fire engine to-day, and at your request arranged for its exhibition; in the report on which, as submitted by the committee of citizens, we heartily concur. We furthermore cheerfully recommend the engines and the apparatus constructed on your principle, to the proprie tors of manufacturing establishments, steam boats and authorities having charge ot public buildings, to shipbuilders and shipowners, be lieving that they will prove efficacious in ex tinguishing fires, in diminishing the damage by water, and in preventing extensive confla grations. (Signed) F. C. Moody, Cine! Engineer. John L. Shaw, Asst. Engineer. Andrew J. Cummings, Asst. do. Wm. H. Ayers, Asst. do. Wm. H. Stewart, Asst. do. Portland, March 27,18GS. This is to certify that 1 have examined Messrs. Lapham (Clarke’s Chemical Fire En gine, and its operation. X believe that tho sys tem is founded upon well known scientific principles, viz: the destruction of oxygen and hydrogen gasses, (the basis of combustion) by the introduction of carbonic acid gas This they manufacture effectively and continuously by the wise adoption ot the mechanical ar rangement of the pumps anil tanks, as shown in their circulars. This arrangement gives them a very wide range in supplying every waiit us regards ca pacity or power ot the machines furnished. They can he arranged for a single room, the house, warehouse, factory, village, town, and city, and must be invaluable on board of ships for extinguishing fires. The whole thing is so simple that the management of the same may be taught in one lesson to any one of ordinary capacity. In fact tho importance and value of the system can be easily and readily demon strated to parties wishing to purchase. The price of the machine anil the right to use them, I understand, will be reasonable, and I have no doubt but that the Company will faithlully perform all tho conditions that they agree to. I would cheerfully recommend them to parties wishing to supply themselves with a cheap and effective means of extin guishing tires. (Signed) John Sparrow, formerly Supt. ot Portland Works.

THE NEW DEPARTMENT. Washington, March 30.—Major Gen. Hai cock’s order on assuming com maud of the ne' military division of 1 iantic will be issue to-morrow. THE TAX HILL. The second comm' of conference ou th disagreeing amendment.- to the hill to exemj; certain manufactures from duty, &c., hav agreed upon a report, which it is thought wi be adopted by the two Houses. They alter th whiskey sections so as to inflict imprisoimien and fine upon all distillers, Government ofii cers au«t others commoted with or colluding i: frauds and forfeit the distilleries in such case.4 The other punishments are stricken out. Onc same plan he used his veto power indiscrimin ately to prevent the passage of wholesome laws enacted for the pacification of the coun try, and when laws were passed by the Con stitutional majority over his veto, that he made the most determined opposition, both open and covert to them, and for the purpose of making that opposition effectual, he endeavored to ar ray and did array all the people lately in re bellion to set themselves against Congress and against the trne and loyal men, their neigh bors, so that murders, assassinations and mas sacres were life all over the Southern States, which he encouraged by his refusal to consent that a single murderer he punished, though thousands of good men havo been slain; and further, that he attempted by military orders to prevent the execution ol tho acts of Con gress by the military commanders who were charged therewith. xnese ana 111s concurrent acts snow conclu sively that his attempt to get the control of the military force of the Government by the seiz ing of the Department of War was done in pursuance of his general design, if it were pos sible, to overthrow the Congress of the United I I il i ii mil in mi ii i i uni ?H' )lh ii1 11 *or the execution of this very design every of the army, navy, civil and diplomatic servic5~ of the United States. He asks you here, Sen ators, by your solemn adjudication, to confirm him in that right, to invest him with that pow er, to be used with the iutcnt|aud for the pur poses which he has already shown. The re sponsibility is with you. The safeguards of the Constitution against usurpation are in your hands; the interests and hopes of free institutions wait upon your decisiou. The House of Representatives has done its duty. We have presented the facts in a constitutional manner; wc have brought the criminal to your bar and demand judg ment at your bauds for his great crimes. Nev er again, if Andrew Johnson go quit and tree this dav, can the people of this or any other couutry, by constitutional checks and guards, stay the usurpations of executive power. I speak, therefore, not the language of exagger ation but the words of truth and soberness in aayiog that the future political welfare ami lib •rties of all men hang trembling on the decis ion of this hour. During the delivery of Mr. Butler’s address, which he read from printed slips, the Presi dent's counsel were attentive listeners, and took occasional notes. The stenographic re porter of the Attorney General’s office was, mean time, industriously taking it down at a manager’s table. The same orderly and well dressed audience as on former occasions comfortably filled the galleries. Carl Schurtz was observable among those admitted to the privileges of the floor. Mr. Bingham, one of the mauagers, then rose and said:—Mr. President—The managers on the part of the House are ready to proceed with the testimony to make good the articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives against the ^resident of the United States, and my associate, Mr. Wilson, will present the testimony. Mr. Wilson.- I wish to state in behali of the mauagers that, notwithstanding the meaning of the documents which wc deem important to be presented in evidence have been set out in the exhibits accompanying the answers and also in some of the answers, we still are of the opinion that it is proper for us to introduce the documents originally by w ay of guarding against any mishaps that might arj^e from im perfect copies set out in the answers. Mr. Wilson then offered in evidence certified copies of the oath of office by President John son, of the appointment of Secretary Stanton by President Lincoln and of the ratification of said nomination, and of President Johnson’s communication to the Senate assigning the reasons for suspending the Secretary of War, alter which the Court adjourned til) 12 o’clock to-morrow, and the Chief Justice vacated the chair. Tlie President pro tem. called the Senate to order. The report of the committee of conference on the hill to relieve certain manufactures trom internal tar was taken up, and after consider able debate agreed to, whereupon the Senate adjourned. HOUSE. Mr. Eliot introduced a hill relating to third assistant engineers in the Naval Academy. Referred to the Committee on Naval Affairs. Also, the memorial of Charles G. Nazro, Pres ident, and other officers of the Board of Trade, and P. \V. Lincoln, N. Thomas Lamb and 88 others, merchants and citizens of Boston, pray ing for legislation in aid of the shipping and carrying trade of the United Stqies. Mr. Churchill introduced a bilrto amend the act of March 1,1792, relative to the offices of President and Vice President of the United States, requiring new elections in case of the interval of eighteen months between the double vacancy and the ordinary termination of the Presidential term. Referred to the Ju diciary Committee. Mr. Churchill introduced a hill suppletueu tary to several acts relating to pension i. Re ferred to Committee on Invalid Pensions. Mr. Haight presented tlie joint resolution us to withdrawing the conseut of the .State of New Jersey to the proposed amendment of the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Eldridge called for the reading of the document. After the Clerk commenced the reading, Mr. Washburne of Illinois asked the Speaker whether it was in order to move to return the document to the New Jersey Legislature. The Speaker said it was not, because all pa pers presented in the morning hour must be referred without debate. Mr. Washburne said that if it were in order be would make that motion as a rebuke to a disloyal Legislature. The Clerk resumed the reading and was again interrupted by Mr. Eldridge, who said I lie would not insist on the reading it the reso lutions would appear in the Globe. The Speaker said the reading might as well be continued now as the time for going over to the Senate had almost arrived. Mr. Pile said let the document he read, and j I object to its being printed. Mr. Washburne gave notice he would make a motion to suspend the rules iu order that the document might, bo returned to the New Jer sey Legislature. The Speaker at 12.20 suspended proeeediugs, and announced dliat in accordance with the resolution of the House it would resolve itself into Committee of the whole House, and head ed by its Chairman, Mr. Washburne of Illi nois, would attend the managers to the bar of the Senate. The order was carried out. The House reassembled at 1.20 P. M., when Mr. Washburne, Chairman of the Whole, re ported that they had attended the High Court of Impeachment, that progress had been made in the trial of Audrew Johnson, and that the Senate as a Court of Impeachment had ad journed until 12 o'clock to-morrow*. The Speaker said the report w ould he euter ed on the journal, and asked if the gentleman from Illinois had any suggestions to make as to the hour of meeting to-morrow. Mr. Washburne suggested that the House meet at a quarter before 12, so as to give time to read the journal. Mr. Banks proposed to meet at 11. Mr. Schenck desired to meet at II or half past 10 to consider the conference report on the bill to relieve certain manufactures from taxation. The Speaker asked if there was any objec tion to the proposition. Mr. Kerr objected. j.ne House resumed the consideration of the joint resolution of the New Jersey Legislature withdrawing its assent to the 14th constitu tional amendment. Mr. Schenck gave notice for the supension of the rules to provide for meeting at 10 1-2 to morrow. Mr. Eldridge made a point of order that the gentleman from Ohio could not interrupt the reading ot the resolutions. The Speaker ruled that as the morning hour ot Monday had expired, the resolutions must go over till next Monday. Mr. Washburne of Illiuois moved a suspen sion of the rules for the purpose of offering a resolution in reference to the paper offered by Mr. Haight. The Speaker ruled that the paper was not before the House. Mr. Schenck moved to suspend the rules so as to order a recess till half-past 10 to-morrow After some filibustering such action was taken. Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, moved to sus pend the rules for the purpose of making the following order: Resolved, That the resolution of the Legisla ture of New Jersey, purporting to withdraw the assent of said State to the Constitutional amendment known as the 14th article, be re turned by the Speaker of the House to the gentlemen who presented it, for the reason that the same is disrespectful to the House and scandalous in character, and that its title only be referred to in the journal and in the Congressional Globe. Mr. Haight said he supposed the Chair had already decided that question. The Speaker said the motion was different from that before suggested, and was in order. Mr. Eldridge said that if the resolution was not before the House it was the property of the gentlemau from New York, and could not be taken from his possession. Tbis was denied by the Speaker, when Mr, Ross demanded the reading of the resolution of the New Jersey Legislature. The Speaker said that the gentleman had no right to demand the reading. Mr. Eldridge remarked.—We are- required to vote to return to the New Jersey Legislature a resolution as being scandalous without know ing what it is. The Speaker said that was an argument which addresses itself to the gentlemen’s vote, and not to the parliamentary condition of the resolution. Mr. Haight made a point of order that the resolution had not been read, which was over ruled by the Speaker. Finally Mr. Washbu rue’s motion and reso lution were adopted yeas 88, nays 17. On motion of Mr. Scbenck the rules were suspended and resolutions to print 500') copies of Mr. Butler’s speech with the accompanying brief, aud 40,000 copies without the brief were offered and referred to the Committee on Printing. Mr. Shanks introduced a bill authorizing that a District Court be held at Fort Wayue, Indiana. Referred to the Judiciary Commit tee. Mr. Banks moved to suspend the rales to provide for meeting at 11 oxloek every day this week except Tuesday. Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, objected, and moved an adjournment, which was carried.

From Hon George B. Loring. I have used every variety, and have lound none which operated more effectually and permanently than yours. From Rev Henry Ward Beecher. A second season’s trial confirms the good opinion which 1 lorim d of it bo Ji lor farm and garden crops. From Ex-Governor Holbrook of Vermont, Beyond all question, you make a superior Super phosphate, eqnal to all yon claim for it, and indeed, more too. David Lyman of Middlefield, Conn, writes: I have thoroughly tested the Super-phosphate I bought of you in 1866 on different soils, and find it the most powerful fertilizer I have used,and have no hesitation in recommending it. From Ex-Governor Cony of Maine. It was equal to any fertilizer ot it* class ever used by mo, and I can confidently recommend it as ot great agricultural utility. I shall continue to use it j quite largely. i Frqni fx-Govornor Fletcher of Vermont. I am fuTlTsatSfla WSTwit? very wVW and rat uotble article for the farmer. From JSx-liovernor uucKingnam oi uoira. I used your Super-phosphate of Lime on grapes, com, potatoes, and other vegetables. The grapes and com were especially benefited. Your Super-phosphate is entitled to the confidence of the agricultural community. S. Dana Hayes, State Assayer of Maes. From Jasper E. Boyd, Esq, Wilmington, Yl. 1 am satisfied it paid me two dollars tor one. Howard B.

Bradley Esq.—Dear Sir: 1 have experimented largely with some ten or twelve kinds of fertilizers, and while I find yours equal to any in its immediate effects, it is superior to all in permanently tenefiting the soil. Yours truly, Harky Kkyreb. From V. It. Warren, Tufts Farm, Somerville, Mas*. I have no hesitation in saying thit it has doubled all my crops. I do not hesitate to pronounce it the best. Griswold I.
