The details of general news, as thev are to be found in New York newspapers, wp do not undertake to give. A sufficient summary of the current history of the world, is all we can pretend to furnish. Our reports ot the Proceedings of Congress will nevertheless be as lull as any Now England Journal punishes, and our Regular Correspondents at Wash ington and New York, tlip political and commercial capital* of the country have already given proof of their ability. Our ar rangements lor procuring MAINE NEWS are unequalled. Dispatches to tho Associated Press from alln^rts of Maine, we shall of course receive; hut in addition to these, we have Regular Correspondents in the principal cities of the Stale, ami occasional orrespondenti at other points. All matters of local news or interest will be report ed and discussed in our columns more fully than can be expected of new spapers out of the Slate. The various RAILUUAD EATEBPB18E*, now in progress, tho Employment of our Water Power which is beginning to attract attention abroad as well as at home, the bearing of Congressional legislation upon our Itliinufacrnring' Commercial, Cambering, Pishing and ^hipbnilaliug inlereais, nnd other kindred topics will cla m a large portion of our space. The relations o« Maine to the Domin ion of Canada are so Intimate that we shall be com pelled to give considerable attention to Canadian Afl'alrn, and shall continue our weekly review of Canadian news. The terms oi the Daily Press will be as here tofore Eight dollar* a year. THE MAINE STATE PRESS is as carefully made up as an entirely independen paper.

[From the Machias Republican, Oct. 24.] We learn, not ior the first time, however, from a letter in the Batigor Whig and Courier, thar Mr. George Gittord, a young Augusta lawyer, has accept ed a situation on the editorial s taff oi the Portland Press. Mr. Gittord has been some time in that situ ation, and has done some good service, and is capa ble of doing much more. Mr, G. is an earnest and devoted student, and will be an acquisition to ihe editorial coi ps ot M aine. [From tho Gardiner Home Journal. Jan.

The Portland Daily Press is not only a credit to the citv but al-o to Hie State.

Any movement that looks to the imperial growth of the State always finds in ihe P ess a hearty advocate, u should have a large list in all the prominent places of Maine. For those who desire a family paier the weekly edition ot the Press has much to commend it.

LUTHER BALLINGS, nidgton, I A Rare with Chicago. Maine is running a race on divorces with some of the VVe3teru States. The applica tions on the court dockets last fall numbered more than five hundred, and they are in creased every term.—Exchange. “Divorce, Sir? Here yon are, Sir; divorce obtained in fifteen minutes, Sir I” Such are the cries, say our American labulists, which greet the astonished traveler as he enters the metropolis of the West, the diminutive emissaries of the lawyers presenting the cards of their employers at the moment of making the brief introductory remark for which the above is said to be the usual formula. The satire on Chicago is getting stale, be ing a somewhat exaggerated statement of the lamentable facility with which the bonds of matrimony are dissolved under the laws of Illinois. But unfortunately there is lit tle or no exaggeration iu the statement made in the item prefixed to this article. We read of twenty six divorces granted in Knox county and fourteen in Oxlord, in a single term of court, while Somerset, emulous ot neighboring counties, had twenty-five libels filed at the last session of the Supreme Court It is a new thing lor the West to give laws to the East. Civilization, it appears, having reached its Western limit, is travelling back toward the Orient. This particular (dim of civilization that makes the man iage contract so light a thing as practically to continue only during mutual couseut, or at best, “dur ing good behavior,” seems, probab'y on ac count ot its novelty and a serai-barbarous respect lor the oid-iasbioued institution still lingering hereabouts, to be an unpleasant innovation. The taking “for better or worse,” as per the marriage ceremony, has become merely a respectable legal fiction, meaning simply “for better,” just as in a wiit the phrase “at 1’orilaud, to wit, at Lewiston,” means simply at Portland, and is not at ail to be understood as implying ubiquity ou the part of the defendant in the suit. The keen-sighted social philosophers have within the last year been persistently hound ing on the young ladies and gentlemen of this perverse generat ion to marriage, and a large number of public lecturers, headed by the persuasive Dr. Hoi laud, have taken the field for the express purpose of so bestrewing the domestic hearth with roses as to make the reluctant juveniles greatly desire to as sume the relation necessary to their enjoy ment. But still the juveniles do iu some measure recaicitrate, muttering roses “be oioweo, or worus io mat enect. rue mys tery of tUi9 reluctance has been solved a hun dred different ways, and it is strange that among all these solutions a certain plausible one has been overlooked. It is “as easy as lyiug ’to demonstrate the fact that the diffi culty arises from a precocious misgiving on the part of the intended victims in relation to the extreme attenuation of the maniage tie. It was not so in the good old times when only the grave or “Bible cause” could effect a disseverance of the bonds of matri mony. But now w’e protest in aii soberness that it is not utterly inexplicable that a young lady should hesitate about ioiDiug her lot with a young man who may in a year or two take advantage of a difference of opinion about tbe occultation of Orion or the Taep iug rebellion, to get a divorce a vinculo.— Nor can a young man be pronounced absolutely demented if he still postpones the happy day,” when it may be followed in a twelvemonth by another happy day in which Ills disaffected wife, for whom meanwhile his affection has increased in in tensity, goes into court and demands a di vorce and generous alimony, on the ground of want of sympathy proved by citation of a case of difference of opinion in regard to tbe proper method of cooking beef steak. Extravagance on this subject is hardly pos sible. Nobody can find fault with the just tices of our Supreme Court, in whose discre tion tbe whole matter now rests. The real fault is in tbe statute and In tbe words “when in the exei.cise of a sound discretEn, be deems it reasonable aud proper, eouducive to domestic harmony, and consistent with the peace and morality of society.” It is sure to happen, no matter wlial the judge’s reputa tion may be tor seveiity, that where large discretionary power iu a matter so important as marriage is vested in him, he will exercise it treely on the side of the importunate suitor. A court* room is a good place lor a cynic when a divorce case is being tried. He will there find enough to make mouths about for a month. The proceedings are iu nine cases out of ten ex parte. The respondent may be in Nova Zembla, having had “constructive service” of the libel through its publication in a newspaper. >So far as be is concerned it would have been just as well to throw it into the Atlantic, and trust to the action of the waves to carry it to him. When tbe return day comes, if it is a lady that sues, tbe libel ant and her attorney take their places so near the judge that a careless spectator would think a private conversation were going on instead of a grave judicial proceeding. The libel is read, wherein, in customary phrase, the lady is made to aver the angelic sweet ness of her own temper „nd the correctness of her own life aud conversation, while the demoniac spirit, the cruelty and abandoned character of the libelee are painted in the darkest colors. All these averments are sup ported by the testimony of the libelant and a beggarly show of depositions, taken in tbe absence of the other party to the suit, after which the judge, believing it to be “reason able and proper, conducive to domestic har mony and consistent with the peace and morality of society,” decrees a divorce, and the pleasant little party breaks up. .VJnduinc Keller. The Canadian papers have recently record ed the death and funeral of Madame Feller, a Swiss lady who came to this continent many years ago and established a Protestant mission school not iar distant from St. Johns city in Lower Canada. A Swiss clergyman preceded her, but alter laboring a short time he left tlie field It has been truly said that there is something sublime in the Idea of a great soul wholly consecrated to one object and spending a long life in its ac complishment. Madante Feller possessed such a soul, and she lelt her sweet home among the romantic hills of Switzerland and came to Grand Ligue in Canada, a fiat coun try and cntiiely destitute of that wild and beaulitul scenery which characteiizes the landscape of her native land. Put she tuliy believed in her religion end was willing to undergo many hardships and dept ivations for t'ue sake of converting the French Catholics in Canada to its doctrines. The salvation of the French Canadian people was the one object of her life, and most iudustriousiy did she labor lor it under the most discouraging circumstances. Vv lieu sue established her mission the French habitans were strongly wedded to their religion, and the Catholic priests had unlimited influence over them. But nothing daunted, here she commenced her labors and persevered till the grave closed upon her earthly career. The spot she selected was a most unmvitingone,and strang:ly in contrast with her native home. The people were poor farmers and cultivated the soil as tbeir lathers had done almost two hundred year* previous. They did not keep step with the improvemeuts of the age, but used the clum sy aud inconvenient farming tools tbeir an cestors had used ever since the Jesuits came to the country. They did not hall plow their lands aud used no manure although ft was lying in leaps about their barns. But they were a prudent people and saved every thing, selling what was suitable to sell to pay the priest, and making puddings from the blood of their hog3. Madame Feller had every thing to contend against, yet she never relax ed her exertions in what she believed to be a good cause. The Catholic religion exactly suited the French minds. Xot lar distant from her mission was a French village called Acadia, where there were two churches—if we mistake not—and the French priests were not very austere, but lively and pleasant, al lowing their folio vers to play bail after at tending church. Aud oua of the old priests of that rather pretty village would fiddle for them to dance alter church hours. He was a,jolly man and one after their hearts. Such were the people among whom Madame Fel ler established her mission. Several years ago I visited her establishment, and look dinner with her and her pupils. She had erected quite a largb and commodious buildiug with a tower and a hell. A lew acres ol ground were enclosed where she rais ed vegetables and cultivated flowers. As has been already said the land was level as a iloor iu that region, and Madame Feller, long ed for bills and mountain scenery, and years before she had commenced making a hill near her building that she might have one thing to gaze upon that would elevate her leelings in that fiat region. Her pupils and otlieis wheeled dirt and rubbish and piied ou brush for years to make an elevation on that flat ground, and they,had succeeded so well in the work that quite a little mountain rose up be fore Madame Feller’s ga*e which highly grati fied her. Her funeral called forth many tokens of warm affection and profound respect. Several clergymen from Montreal and Quebec offici ated on the mournful occasion, seme speak ing her praise in French and others in tho Inglish language. They spoke of her deep piety, of her missionary spirit and her burn ing zeal for the salvation of souls, and espe cially lor the conversion and salvation of of French Catholics she consecrated all her great powers and energies. She was buried n the Mission Cemetery which is on a centiy rising ground, shaded by trees, and where a number of the Mission’s converts have been buried whose graves are marked by handsome tombstones. It is an interesting spot and many a pilgrimage will herealter be made to it to see Madame Feller's grave and to shed tears over it. She was but little known to the great mass of the French Canadian peo ple; yet the time will come when her loving labors will be appreciated and her memory revered bv the whole ol the nationality to whose highest interests her lite was conse crated. Agiucola. V arieties. —The Tyng ease may be revived. A gran d impeachment is talked of, the young elergy man having preached in a Methodist meeting house since his recent admonition by the Bishop. —It appears that there is some trouble con nected with the will ot the late “Artemns Ward" (Charles F. Browne). The bulk of hie estate, according to that document, was to be transferred to his mother, to he enjoyed by bor during her lifetime, and after her death to he applied to the foundation of an asylum for in digent printers. It is understood now that none ot his property has been so transferred, and statements are made to the effect that neither the money he was known to have pos sessed nor any assets have come to light. Ha was understood to have had a round sum ot money in bank and otherwise at his death; bat his English executors are auspiciously silent on he subject. Some of our contemporaries are calling upon them to render an account of tlicir stewardship. —Tho Troy Times, alluding to the statement that this is the year (or the return of the sev enteen year locusts, says: “So is every year, as for that matter. The fact seems to be that there arc seventeen kinds of locusts, and they Come round in turns.” —Temple Bar is not tailing after all. Only a few bits of plaster have been thrown ont by the concussion caused by the falling of houses in the Strand. —Before the close of the year a railroad will he opened from Athens to its ancient port, the PiriBus. —A newspaper has already made its ap pearance in Alaska. It is styled the Alaska Herald, and is printed in Russian and Eng lish. —The Mormon newspaper at Salt Lake City cautions the followers of Brigham against yielding to the lust of gold—not because they have yielded to so many lusts that it is unde sirable to pursue that course, but for the ie» son that a gold-mine “is no place for a man professiug to be a Latter-Day Saint.” Mor mons, therefore, cannot serve Brigham and Mammon. —The Transcript man has had May flowers suit him. We have not as yet,hut the first flowers are not always the sweetest, and wa feel sure that somebody’s fingers aie going to gather us a delectable nosegay—we hate that upstart word bouquet which Yankees always mispronounce—somebody, we know, is intend ing to bring us a fair and fragrant cluster of these beautiful flowers, the sweetest that bloom on our northern hills. Who speaks first? —Late English papers contain a letter from Mr. Disraeli to }be Earl ot Dartmouth which was attracting attention. Mr. Disvaoli says the crisis of England rather than that of Ire land is at hand, for a powerful party now avows its purpose to destroy what ho calls “that sacred union between church and state” which has hitherto been the chief means of our civilisation, and is the only security for our religious liberty.” Ibis is a remarkable declaration, coming trom the Premier of Eng land. The acknowledgment of the strength of the party opposed to the state establish ment IS most distinctly made. —A French writer calls the Gnif Stream a hot well or spring, which, rising in tho Gulfof Mexico, carries warmth and tertility to the northwestern regions of Europe. Western Iceland and England, and Western Europe g Hierally, owe tlieir tertility and mild, equa ls e temperature to the boiling weii of our great Southern gulf. It is reported that dur ing the present winter the set of the Gnlf Stream has been a hundred miles iatiher away from our coast than usual, thus account ing for the cold, dismal and protracted winter from which we have just emerged.

THE PBBiSS. Mon- ay Morning, April 13, 1868. First Page to-day —A Race with Chicago; Varieties. Fourth Page-So Far, So Far Away; “The Spirit ol Severn y-Six.” Judge Curtis’* Argument. Much was expected of Judge Curtis in opening tlie President’s case before the Sen ate. It seems to us, after a careful perusal, that the argument answers all just expeeta- tious, though from accounts that reach us through the papers it appears that the Presi dent’s frieuds are disappointed. They were foolish enough to suppose that the settled judgment of a Senate composed of the ablest lawyers of the country, expressed in a resolu tion passed on the day of Stanton’s removal, could bo shaken by the argument of another 1 awyer, however great his ability. There are some points in the position ot the managers that are incontrovertible. For instance Judge Curtis, in endeavoring to show that the re moval of Stauton is not within the meaning of the tenure-of-office act, is obliged to make statements, the absurdity of which is appar ent even to unprofessional readers. He says that Mr. Johnson is not serving out the unex pired term of his predecessor, but that a new Presidential term began when he came into power. He says “as well might a sovereign be said to serve out the term of his predeces sor,” Section ODe, article I wo, of the Consti tution says that the President shall hold his office “d uring a term of tour years,” thus de fining the length of a term arbitrarily, with out reference to any incumbent's continuing in office. If Mr. Johnson is serving a term of his own, no one claims that he is obliged to retain Mr. Stanton in his cabinet till the Sen ate assents to a removal. This is accordingly the most important point in the whole de fence. It was decided by the Sen ate months ago adversely to Mr. Johnson, and nothing but the most conclusive reasoning would induce that body to retract. Instead of such conclusive teasouing theie is an at te opt to sustain the Preside t’s claim by sug gesting an analogy between him and the ex ecutives of monarchical governments which all the earning and reputation ol Mr. Curtis cannot for a moment make respectable. Still, none but very partial friends could expect him to effect impossibilities. Resumption of Mpecie Payments* We are glad to see that Mr. Lynch’s bill for the gradual resumption of specie payments is gradually gaiuing attention. It is one of the most important measures now pending and only needs to be understood to make its way. We find the following appreciative notice of this bill in the New York Tribune ot Friday: Mr Lyn2I1 of Maine has pending in thr House of Representatives a pkn for gradually resuming specie paymeuts. Briefly stated, it consists in issuing from the Treasury coupon bonds to the amount of $300,000000 of denom inations of $100 and upward, bearing interest at four per cent, payable quarterly iu lawful money, and making these and greenbacks re ciprocally convertible into each other at the pleasure ot the holder; after the first of May next, all United States legal tender notes re ceived by the United States, say $180,000,000 per vear, or $15,000,000 per month, are to be ”e tired and destroyed, and iu their stead notes pavable one year from date, iu coin, are to be issued to all creditors to whom legal tenders have heretofore been paid. By the 1st of May, 1869, $180,000,000 in coin notes would have ta ken the place of the present greenbacks, hav ing been paid out for salaries, Government contracts, currency interest, and all expenses of the government. These notes will come due at the rate of half a million of dollars a day during the year 1869, and are to be re deemed iu gold. By repeating the same oper ation for 1869 and 1870, the whole issue of greenbacks now outstanding would have been converted into demand notes, and would be re deemable in gold by May 1,1871. Mr. Lynch says that he firmly believes that the presenta tion and redemption of the first $15,000,000 of these notes would so establish public confi dence as to reduce the premium on gold to a nominal figure. The difference between the plan and that of immediate resumption is that it limits the amount ot notes which can be presented to the government for redemption to halt a million of dollars per day after one year from the 1st of May next. As our gold receipts from customs amonut to about a third of a million a day, it is thought that so gradu al a run on the Treasury for its gold could be successfully met until the public confidence had so far improved as to reduce the premium on gold to a nominal figure, wh n specie pay ment would be resumed by the banks and the people voluntarily. Mr. Lynch’s plad is one of tbe most thoughtful of the gradual plans of resumption yet advanced. A Horrible Business.-A Montreal dis patch gives an account of an occurrence at St. Eustachere which reminds one of the horrible incidents of French romances. A man named Leban and his wile, who were in the habit o: robbing and murdering wayfarers and travel lers who stopped at their house, attacked a traveller, the man with an **xe and tbe wife with a razor. The traveller kuocked down his assailants and the wile, mistaking her husband for him, cut his throat. She has been arrested and has confessed all of the past horrible tran sactions. Three skeletons were found in the house. Important to Businfss Men.—Some peo. never think of a revenue etamp when writ ing a letter; yet tome letters require stamping as much as a note or deed. Under the inter nal revenue laws, letters acknowledging the receipt of either drafis, checks or money, ex ceeding twenty dollars, are subject to a stamp duty of two cents, the same as if a formal re ceipt had been given for so much money. This fact is sometimes forgotten, or is not known,even by good business men. Fenian Arrests in Canada.—O. J. Devlin and F. B. McNamara, prominent citizens who are known to be connected with Fenian sym pathizers, were arrested in Montreal, Friday night. The Massachusetts License Law —A li cense law has at last passed both Houses of the Massachusetts Legislature. The vote on its final passage in the Senate was 21 to 12. Apprehension is felt that Gov. Bullock will veto the bill. If he do33 so, it will defeat its passage, as it cannot command a two-thirds vote in the Senate. It would he a curious cir cumstance if, after the supposed complete tri umph of the P. L. L.’s in Massachusetts, the year 1868 should pass without any change in the prohibitory law and with the State police still in power. It the exigencies of their situation reqnired Republicans to make a great ado and sing Te Deums over every triumph in municipal elec tions, they have ample opportunity to do so in refernece to the results of local elections in the West. They have been especially sttccesslul in Ohio and Indiana. Cleveland gave 66 Re publican majority this year, while Dayton, the home Vallandigham, has changed the Demo cratic majority of 130 into a Republican ma jority of 300. Our roosters are reserved tor the national triumph of next fall. Political Notes. Senators are to be elected in Arkausas to morrow, but it is believed that they will not be in Washington fpr the next two or three weeks, and that no difficulty can arise relative to their admission while impeachment is on ns they will not claim their seats until it is fin ished. It is thought that Gen. Burnside will be con firmed as Second Auditor of the Treasury De partment. The Western Democrats, despairing of being able to get their favorite, Pendleton, endorsed by Eastern politicians, are said to speak ot Hancock and Adams as the hope of the party. It is lucky that a sentence in ease of convic tion on an impeachment trial extends no fur ther than to removal from office and disqualifi cation for holding thereafter. Warren Hast ings, under a different rule was sentenced to pay the cost et the proceedings which amount ed to over a million dollars in our money. So heavy a fine would probably draw heavily on Mr. Johnson's pecuniary resources. II ability to get. mouey is any qualification for suffrage Sambo is entitling himself to that privilege very last. A Nashville paper pub lishes a long list of negroes who have accum ulated from two to twenty thousand dollars An ardent odm.rer of Secretary Stanton re cently interrogated bun as to his willingness to become Mr. Buckalew’s successor iu the Senate of the United States. He responded peremptorily: “What I want—what I w;jj have—is rest, quiet,a chance to live with u,y wife and family in peace. I appreciate the kind leeling you express, but there is no office I would take.” Mr. Glenn of the New York Assembly has had the assurance to accuse that spotless body of corruption in the Erie matter. Result: an investigating committee reports that the charge is without foundation, and Mr. Glenn is to be publicly cen8ured b tho Speaker.— The Assembly meanwhfie i, censured by a properly discriminating public Ad the New England Senntors-Mr Sum ner included—voted to receive Get, testimony respecting conversations bo'ia™^ the President after the commission of\i crime of which he is accused. The objection of the managers to the admission of this evi dence was technically correct, no doubt, but the Senate is not an ordinary jury and does perfectly right in bearing whatever the de fence has to offer, Gen. Thomas’s Examination before tbe Court of Impeachment must have been very amusing. He is dsecribed as a tall, very erect, white-headed gentleman, his military training having kept a remarkable degree of the vigor of youth in his frame and bearing, dressed in the full uniform of bis brevet rank, with two stars on each shoulder and double rows of bright buttons upon his breast, with a mani fest nervousness at first kept very well under control. Ilis voice, when the first question was asked, rang out like a trumpet, and he an swered with the amusing alacrity of a school boy who has got his lesson well by heart, and is anxious to distinguish himself by a brisk response. Some new facts were included in the first portion of the general’s narrative, among which it is worth noting that the order for the closing ol the Department on Wash ington’s birthday, which has been stated to have been his first act as Secretary of War, was issued by him as adjutant-general in compliance with directions from Mr. Stanton, before he had received the ad interim appoint ment at all. He also stated that on his first interview with Mr. Stanton, after that appoiut i ment, Mr. Stanton simply asked whether he would be allowed time to remove his private papers, hut that in the next interview, ouly a few' minutes later the same alternoou, Mr Stanton said he did not know whether he should obey or resist the President’s order. The scene in the War Department cn the 22d of February, after I be departure of the Congressmen whose evidence is already be fore the country, was related by the witness with charming naivete’. Gen. Thomas said he told Secretary Stanton, ‘'Next time you have me arrested, I hope you will give me time to get my breakfast; I have had nothing to eat or drink to-day.” Mr. Stanton then put his arm around Gen. Thomas’s neck, and called on General Schriv er for some whiskey; that officer confessed to keeping a little phial at hand as a remedy for dyspepsia, and produced a phial, the size ol which General Thomas indicated by measur ing off three inches or so on his finger, and which he said contained about a spoonful ol whiskey. This scanty ration Mr. Stanton di vided in two tumblers holding them up to see that the shares were equal, and the rival Sec retaries of War emptied the glasses; hnt shortly after a messenger obtained a bottle full and Mr. Stanton and General Thomas took a substantial drink together. Here the floor and galleries burst into a roar of inex tinguishable laughter, aoj for some moments it was impossible to proceed. The weak points of the witness appeared to be a constitutional inability to retain tbe memory of a date or fix tbe time of any trans action, and a delicious vanity which showed itselt at every step in his testimony. Ol both these points Gen. Butler took the utmost ad vantage in the cross-examination which was long and severe. The result of the cross-ex aminaliou is summed up by the Washington correspondent of the Boston Advertiser, as follows: General Thomas was made, under the tor ture, to swear that when he tolci Mr. William son lie should taks possession of the war office by force, calling on General Grant for troops lie did not mean what lie said, but was indulg ing iu mere brag; that he did mean what he said when he told Mr. Burleigh lie meaut to break down the doors, but aftewards conclud ed it might lead to difficulics and bloodshed, and l ad abandoned the idea before he was ar rested, and that when he entertained the idea of using force he did not think it was in ac cordance with the President’s orders, but quite the reverse; he said the President had never chidden him about the way he went to work or about any of his declaration of violent in tentions; he had attended cabinet meetings as Secretary of War, and had been recognized by the President and other Secretaires as such. Mr. Butler iuquiicd bad he ever given the President any advice, in his character of high constitutional adviser? General Thomas re plied that he had always been asked if h» had any business to lay before the council and had never had any witn one exception; this excep tion proved to be an important one, and the President’s counsel would doubtless have pre ferred to have him hold his tongue; it was to the effect that he had suggested a method of getting possession of the papers and business ol the War Department by the President’s writing a note to General Grant directing him to order the heads of bureaus, his military sub ordinates, to report to the ad interim Secre tary; General Thomas had made a draught of such a letter to General Grant, and submitted it to tile President about March 13th, three weeks after iho crisis of February and the be ginning of the impeachment proceedings; the Presided had said that he would consider it, and afterwards that lie should let it rest until the close of the impeachment trial. State News. ANDROSCOGGIN COUNTY. Mr. B. F. Crawtord who was injured on the railroad in Auburn, Monday, is as comfortable as could he expected and will doubtless re cover. The Journal says Huldah Dorman, a woman residing in Lewiston, and employed in one ol the mills, was seized with raving insanity on Thursday, and was on Friday taaen to the In sane Asylum at Augusta in charge ot Officer Burleigh. She has previously suffered lrorn similar attacks. We learn lrorn the Lewiston Journal that the loss by fire in the Webster Woollen Mill, l>as been officially estimated at 819,800, which is fully covered by insurance. Work on re pairs will immediately commence, and it is probable that in two weeks, the mill will be in running order. Charles E. Coombs was bound over in the sum of 8500 by Judge Smith, at Lewiston, Wednesday, for horse stealing, and committed to jail. FRANKLIN COUNTY. The Chronicle says Stillman Wyman, while starting some of the machinery in a saw Mill at Weld, had his frock caught by the iron slialt which ins.antly drew him on aud around with great velocity, his feet striking against a partition only sixteen inches distant, at every revolution. His brother above, hearing the noise, shut the gate aud stopped the machin ery as soon as possible, and on going below, found Stillman attached to the shaft by a twisted belt around his body, formed of his clothing. Excepting this belt, all his clothing was stripped off him. He was taken to his brother’s house almost insensible. His right ankle was dislocated, the small bone in each leg broken near the knee, and his body and limbs dreadfully bruised. That he came out of this ride alive is almost a miracle. At the time of the accident, the shaft was making nearly three hundred revolutions per minute. He must have been carried around at least two hundred and fifty times. Drs. Bartlett ard Watts were called, who reduced the dis location and fractures, and he is reported d j ing well. A. E. Houghton, of Weld, was thrown from his carriage on Monday evening, and severely injured. His face struck upon a slab, cutting a gash two iuches long, entirely through his left cheek. His left arm was also badly sprained. The roof ol the post office building in Farm ington caught fire last Monday, but by the prompt exertions of the citizens the fire was quickly extinguished. The Chronicle says there arc thirty-five cases of measles among the scholars of the Normal School at Farmington. Some of the cases are severe, hut it is believed they will all ultimately recover. Prof. Gage has’been un remitting in his attentions to the sick ones. mere were JB inches ot snow at Farming ton Wednesday morning. The traiu from there came through on time by use of a snow plow. KENNEBEC COUNTY. The Gardiner Reporter soys that market has been flooded with hay the past week. Loose hay sells at from $15 to $18 per toil. Large quantities of presse 1 liav are being sent by rail irom that point to Boston. The Gardiner hotel property was sold at auction last Wednesday, and was finally knockdd down to Whit. Thayer of the Man sion House, Augusta, at $10,500. The Reporter says Mr. Huntington, of Litchfield, recently shot a full grown otter near Loon Rond, n ith a common six-shooter. The shot was made at several yards and the bullet entering the animal’s ear, parsed direct ly through his head. He weighed 29 pounds, and the Hkiu is said to be the largest ever brought to that market. A gentleman from Augusta, whose relations w til Senator Sprague and his Augusta pur chase give him the best of opportunity for knowing the facts about tiie succession of fireg io Augusta, states that they are not to be at tributed to any hostil ty to Sprague, but have been for the most part accidental. KNOX COUNTY. The Rockland Democrat says a lady in a neighboring town died a tew days since while tinder the influence ot ether or chloroform used during child birth. The Democrat says the Knox Mansion at Thomastou is in a very dilapidated condition, and is worthless as a building for habitation or residence. The main building is occupied above lor c rpenter shops and in the base ment as a receptacle for dime casks. Relie hunters are fast stripping the house of what little architectural beauty there is left. The storm of Tuesday created so much wa ter m Rockland and raised the tides so high that during the night un alarm of fire was sounded to bring out the owners of the lime kilns to look after their property. The loss in wood and lime, and damage to wharf property is estimated by the Democrat at $1500. The high tide at Thomaston Tuesday night set fire to some lime stored in a shed on a wharf. The building, 40 casks of lime and about $600 worth ot cordage were destroyed.

Easter Sunday.—The services at the Cath olio and Episcopal Churches in this city on Easter Sunday were of the highest order, and attracted crowded audiences. At the Chapel of Immaculate Conception on Cumberland street, Rt. Rev. Bishop Bacon officiated, assist ed by four priests. The chapel was highly dec orated about the altar, and with its hundred lights presented an imposing aspect. The mu sic was grand. The choir consisted of a double quartette, led by Mr. Dennett, and the mass was finely performed. At the close of the discourse by the Bishop, he gave notice that work on the Cathedral would be commenced immediately, and he hoped to have it completed in a year. But this would depend upon the liberality of the Easter offerings. The exercises at the First Parish Church were highly appropriate and interesting. The pulpit and altar were beautifully decorated with festoons of evergreen, interwoven with flowers and boquets and lilies. The sermon in the forenoon was by Rev. Mr. Bailey, on the immortal life, and was one of his happiest efforts. In the afternoon the exercises were appro priate to the Sabbath School, at the close of which the sum of $19.13 was presented by the First Parish Sabbath School to the Preble Street Sabbath School. A beautiful flower basket was presented to Lewis Pierce, Esq., the Superintendent of the First Parish Sab bath School and an elegant boquet to Hon. A. E. Stevens, Superintendent of Preble Street Sabbath School. In the evening, the church was filled to overflowing, drawn thither by the interesting exercises, of which the performan ces by the choir constituted an important part. At the Episcopal Churches of St. Stephen’s and St. Luke’s, the ceremonies were interest ing and impressive. Bishop Neely officiated at St. Luke’s. The Easter anniversary at St Stephen’s Sunday School was celebrated, in the afternoon, with Easter Carols, the church being beautifully decorated w'th flowers. Many people went away, being unable to obtain en trance. Personal.—Dr. Colby, who for about five years has T)een connected with the Press, has accepted an agency for the Continental Life Insurance Company of New York, to which he will hereafter devote a portion of his time. He will, however, be a regular contributor to the Press, either as a correspondent or other wise, and will receive subscriptions and pay ments in any part of the State he may visit. Dr. Colby probably has as extensive an ac quaintance among the people of Maine as any man in the State, and certainly no man is more favorably known among all classes. The efficiency he has shown in the various branches of business to which he has devoted himself heretofore, places his success in his new under taking beyond any doubt. He certainly will have the best wishes of all connected with this office, where his own uniform courtesy and gentlemanly demeanor have won for him the hearty good will of his associates. These qual ities that make his withdrawal from the Press a matter of so much regret will be peculiarly valuable to him in his new business, supple mented as they are by great business tact and experience. Arrests —On the arrival of steamer Chesa peake at this port, from New York, Sunday morning, City Marshal Heald and officer Fos ter went on board and arrested a German Jew named Wm. Abel and Mrs. Peter Yolp and her sister, and committed them to the lockup to await further intelligence from New York. It appears Mrs. Peter Volp is a fashionable dress maker and her husband a cabinet manu facturer in New York. Abel is a tobacconist, and has been so very intimate with Mrs. Volp that he persuaded her to elope with him. Be fore leaving they broke open the trunk of Peter and stole $fi00 in money and a gold watch and chain. A dispatch was sent to our City Marshal, who watched for the arrival of the boat and arrested the parties. About $200 in money and the watch and chaiu were re covered. A sewing machine and a tobacco machine had been purchased by the parties, it beiug their intention to establish themselves here in business. Mrs. Volp had persuaded her sister to come with her. As a large portion of the money re covered was found upon the sister she was locked up with the other two. The Encounter between Walter Brown and Allyn.—Mr. Brown has made an expla nation of the late trouble between him and Allyu the wizard, which puts a new lace upon the matter. It seems by his statement that he had lent Allyn $50 some time before, and that he had been uuable to collect it, and therefore had sued him and ordered an officer to attach his property at Ipswich. The officer allowed Allyu to go on with his show and Brown while going down the aisle to see about it, was met by the wizard, who impeded his progress. Brown “removed the obstruction” and caused Allyn’s immediate arrest. Allyn took the poor debtor’s oath and then arrested Brown for assault. The next morning Allyn insult ed Brown at the depot and received a second chastisement. Brown announces that he can be found at Troy, N. Y. Cotton and Shabpley’s Minstrels.—The concert Saturday evening attracted an im mense audience, lull of good humor, which was niauilested by the most generous applause, and eves before the performance began by much stamping, some clapping and sundry horrid yells, greatly heightening the effect. This troupe, on the whole, is one of the very best we have ever seen, and its leaders are a host in themselves. They are announced for another performance at the same place in a week or two. The Fire on the Island.—The fire about m'd night Friday was the factory of the Casco Porgio Oil Company at Peak’s Island, which with a portion of the wharf and all the tools and portable property of the company was de stroyed. The dwelling house belonging to the company was saved. As there had been no fires in the building for some months, the con flagration was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary. A large quantity of coal belong ing to the company was also destroyed. I. A. R. A. Ball.—Don’t forget the annual ball ol the Irish American Belief Association that comes off this evening at City Hall. If you wish to enjoy a fine time purchase a ticket aud you will not be disappointed. It will be one of the gayest and most festive affairs of the season. Ocean Steamers. Steamship Peruvian Capt. Ballantine, sailed from this port Satur day evening for Liverpool. She had 15 cabin aud 23 steerage passengers and a full cargo. Steamship Nestorian, Capt. Dutton, will sail from this port for Liverpool next Saturday. The Belgian. Capt. Graham, is the steamer due at this port this week from Liverpool. The Inquest.—The corouer’s jury which has been holding an inquest upon the body of Mr. Wm. Hatch, Jr., who died from the effects of inhaling chloroform and ether on Wednesday last, bas adjourned to Thursday next in order that the investigation may be as thorough as possible. There was no business before the Munici pal Court Saturday. Cold April Weather. Mb. Editor:—Although the cold has been levere during the past week, one who lays no :laim to be the “oldest inhabitant" can reveal something equal to it. On Sunday, April Hth, 1850, we had a cold snow storm of twelve inches, losing with rain. It came off very cold Mon lay moruing, with the thermometer at 24 degs. C gathered two large icicles from a low build ing near where your office now is, which meas ured each 21 inches in length, and 2 1-2 to31-2 incl es thick at the butt end. I kept them all day in a hack room without melting, and mark ed out their dimensions on paper, which 1 still retain. The next succeeding days were yet colder; April ICth.at *he Observatory. 20degs., 17th, 17 degs., 18th, 24 dog:. But “seed time and harvest” did not fail that year. E. G. Police Items—Five persons were taken to the lockup by the police Saturday night for drunkenness. Sunday was very quiet. Not an arrest for drunkenness during the day.

Here was a man whom I had known intimately tor nearly twen ty years,—a man of scrupl ious truth,—lus perteci straightforward truthfulness was proverbial amou his fri -nds; a man of great ability, but without om paiticle of imagination,—in short ihe veiy last mai to take up a question like this with enthusiasm oi credulity What was I to think? He gave me hi word, which i knew I could tr sc. iliat (here was no trick in it,—that w hat he told me he had seen; and he challenged ire to give the matter a fair .rial,; mi judge lor myself Now, there are hundreds of men, and m »re hundreds of women, from whom one wo liu recei o a statement or this son with many grains oi salt; not because they are uuworthy oi credit,bui le cau-e their temperament would incline them to be led captive” by the woudertnl and the in> sterious,— “omne ignotum pro magnijico.” But my f. ien as 1 have said,was not one ot them,—net one tobecariieu away by auy speculative or imaginative question, tie is essentially clear-headc 1 andhard-b acted, anu ii would be a very poor compliment to hi- common se ise to suppose that he believed in the spirituality of “a little board.” My curiosity was piqued—anil l tell a.-leep. Next morning at breakfast I referred to “Plan chette.” Miss A. was evldent'y a convert. My host said nothing. My hostess confessed she did not “quite like it.” Others ridiculed it, and the subject dropped. Most of the guests lett that day to make way for a Lew batch; and when evening came Miss A and l sat down to “Planchette” with two, at least, o‘ onr lookers-on, who had never heard ol the“crit lui before. We placed our hands on “Plauehette,” aud ask d some question. For a while. It was stationary; then it began to move under our hands, aud lo run about the paper, scoring lmes up and down, soinetimo fast, sometimes slow; our hands s arcely touched it. “It is merely the effect of pulsation,” 1 Faid Rut we persevered, and presently it began to loin letters. Our first question was, “Whatlelters are engrav ed in this locket?*’ The locket was mine, ami I oi course knew the letters, though 1 had not opened the locket tor a longtime. Miss A. was Ignorant oi t.iem. There were four letters, of which h and B. weie the last twly direct the peucil. ludecd, had I bjen dishonest, and inieutiona ly in fluenced it, 1 should, 1 imagine, have written all the letters and uot two only. I g veiny hostess five letters, which I had receiv ed that day, and betted her to select one wii bout «»ur Knowledge, and question “Pamhette.” M;e did FOj asking the initiu s of the wriu r The reply was again K B. It proved that the lei ter selectee was not written by K. B., I ut. by one of our nios: distinguished general oflftcers; but it was placed in an envelope (not seen by us) directed by the ownei ol these initials. That the act! n of the pencil is generally influ enced by those whose hands are on the board, 1 have no doubt; out assuming the»e persons to We honest, aud to abstain tr m any voluntaiy move ment, it is equally beyond doubt that this influence, whatever it may be, is involuntary. It is. ot course, perfectly easy to make the pencil write, i en agrajih wbee's being, as every one knows, mo t sensitive. Let us snppo e that A. and B. intend to make it write, one of two thing- Is necessary, either they uiU't be ennfeder ;te, and agrue to write ihe same word, or one must Le passive, and must allow the o her to wiire 1*. Assume, for the sake of argument, this to be the wayiuwaicli answers are p-uduced, how will the following admit of explanation? One of the guests, who had just arrived, on the oc cas on referred io, asked—“At what town did I pur chase these sleeve-links?” Neither Mis* A. nor I knew. x iar clie te” instantly, in a great hurry, wrote, A be mess Wro' g,” exc’ain ed the inquirer, tiiumpbaiitly: I bough them in Paris But wrong as the answer was, it was, in inv judg ment, an exceedingly curious answer, show ing, as 1 tin ik, that the intiuence of those whose hands are on the board is unconscious and involuntary. I certa Dly was n.-*t thinking ot any pla e in particu lar, nor was 'iiss A.; but we both knew that ilie entlcman who put the question was an ^iben\ecu shire man, and that he had Just come from Inver ness. Here, then, was a conglomeration of two places with which he was conned ed, aud this, I think proves that Miss A. and I were perfectly honest iu the matter. Had we either ot us intended io write Aberdeen or Inverness, we should scarcely have produced such a quaint combination of the two. We put many more quest! >ns that evening, the answers to which were, some right and some wrong; bur. lam bound to say that all the answers were wrong when the questions related to subjects un known to us, and put by a third person. And In almost all cases, this has been the result ot my ex perience; but not in all, as I will show aiterwards. I was sufficiently interested in this curious little macUiue to make every kind oi experiment aiter wards, that I could think of, my friend B. having presented me with one. I found i nnst amusing in replying to answers re la mg to the future, all the answers proving wrong, ot course; but some were so unexpected, and so ab surd, that they caiiFed the greatest possible fun. It replied equally williugly in French or Latin, an in Oriental languages. In ail cases where the experi ment was henesrjv made, the operators did not con sciously influence the pencil. The following is a curious, and, supposing me to be incapable of falsehood in the matter, a conclusive Instance of this:— a i>race:ec was lying on tne table. On tbe clasp was a woid iu Oriental characters ;on the buck oi the clasp were ini ials in English. I l ad my hands on Planehette,” a triend joining me. I knew ihe language to which the word belonged; my ftifnd did not. The question was, What are the Evgluh Inina's on the back ol the clasp?” Plancheite,” instead f wriiin the English letters at the back, wr te the initial letter, in the Oriental character, of tli© w’ord on the (rout oi the cla-p. Nowhere was a rt plv certainl contrary to nnj expec»aiions which I ini:hi have been supposed to have formed. I knew whut was written on either side or the clasp, my iriend did nut. if I had formed any expectation it would have been that Plancitotte” would have written what 1 asked. I certainly should not, had I w shed to astonish my friend b* making it appear that “Plamhette” would answer the q estionspu* to 1*, have written a reply so inappropriate hat prouuced tbe answer? At least, there was uo collu sion Oiten Planehette” misspells. Once It insisted on signing “commander” wf'hone “in:” again and again we wished it to a; ell it right; but no. We tried it letter by 'otter, pausing between each letter; but only ue “in” would it write. Had we inteuti^nailv influenced its action, we s irely bould have made it write two, which we fully exp. cfced it would do. Generally, its blunders in orthrogapby are the blunders ot th se who.-e hands are on it. For ex am pie, it wrote a French word for me, and put an accent >n it, which shuld not be th**ie; because I believed it slrould beth^re; and in writing a Latin wo d ibr a ladv, it spelt it as tho lady thought it should be spelt,—wrong. Tj sum up, then: my experience of “Planehette” ij that generally Its ut eiances are unmi.-ia-able emanat ons Uom ourselves*' without any conscious effort of will on our pans, as a friend to wh an I in troduced Pi inchette' excellently puts it. But, be lieving, as I of course do, ihat t e influence, wharev er it be, la a purely naiural one,—for I need not say that I should deem it uu in rat t» my intellect were i$mppoaedtiia»Ibe iev«‘ditasu|»ernalural influence, the air of hands. The K. B before referred to is one vho lir.s this i»ew'er, whatever it may be; a cousin ot Bin*- another, in both cases ladiis, ami I may here mte that lor women PJanchotte” writes more -ta lily than for men. I h ive heard, on t ie authority of persons impossi >le to discredit, that “plauchcl'e” will occasionally [ive correct at sweis to que.-tions put bv a third per on, the answers to such ques ions being known o the third p.rsi.u, bur not known to these trhose hands are on the board. I have tried his oiten, and only in two Instances have 1 seen the ixperimem bicccn. I will detail them. I was staying with some irnnUs and speaking oi ‘plaachefte,” I said 1 landed electviclt} inusi have k gpod deal 19 tto Wltb it* pertormances. My hostess tald, Let me try, for I have always been told that 1 possess a great deal ol electric pow«r” “pun chette” was produced. The lady and I placed our hands on it, aud I begged her husband to put some qactoti >n tbe answer to which was known to him but not to us. He asked, 41 To whom did I write this ir orniag?** lun'mc!tte instantly commenced writing. Stop saiu Co onel G who was watching it. “It ha* answered roy quesMun/* I removed the board; but seeing that after the name tt bad continued as if going to write m .re, I ro placed ii, ho that the point of ti.e pencil was exactly on the spot from vhi h I had removed it, and r que.-ted it to be so good as to proc ed.

Latest news by telegraph to the PORTLAND DAILY PRESS. Monday Morning, April 13,1868. WASHINGTON. RUMORED PRESSURE ON SENATORS. New York, April 11.—A Washington spe cial says a desperate effort is bring made to keep Senators up to the sticking point on im peachment and prevent them from losing the necessary backbone before the time arrives when they will be called upon to declare ac cording to law and their consciences whether Andrew Johnsou should be removed from of fice. The pro-impeachment lobby is very for midable, the enthusiastic Radicals of that faith having been summoned here to work on Senators and terrify them into voting rightly on che question; but these efforts are by no means confined to the lobby. Members of the ’*'w»r bouse do not hesitate to take part in the b isiness. VIEWS OF SPRAGUE AND THE CHIEF JUSTICE. On returning from electioneering in Con necticut, Representative Garfield met Senato: oprague, the former stating that ho bad not met a single Republican in Connecticut but expressed bis opinion that the only safe policy was the removal of the President. Mr. Gar field then alluded to the President's claim tiiai Secretary Stanton’s case did not come utide* the civil tenure hill, lo which Mr. Sprague re sponded, sajiug that he had no doubt iu his mind that Mr, Stautou’s case was clearly with in the tenure 01 office act, aud that the Presi dent's position was therefore untenable iu lact and entirely absurd. The f.rther conversa tion was quite free, and during the whole of ii Senator Sprague aud Jlr. Garfield seemed to be perlcctly in accord, agreeing that the Pres ldent was a dangerous man, aud had commit ted acts tor winch lie had ought to be removed. From the President the conversation turned to the Chief Justice, whose course on irn peachmei.t was criticised by Mr. Garfield Mr Sprague admitted that the views of his lather in-law on the subject were rather unor thodox, but intimated that he (Sprague) did m^t agree with the Chief Justice iu this mat SENATOR STEWART. Senator Stewart of Nevada has also ex pretsed opinions prejudicial to the President’s case. OEN. THOMAS S TESTIMONY. Gen. Thomas’ testimony was made quite in teresting by Mr. Butler's manner of putting questions. He seemed to completely use up lien, f taomas. He made him contradict him self in several important particulars, much to the dismay of the President’s counsel. Mr. Butler drew oqt from Gen. Thomas that when talking to Wilbesnn and Karsner about kick lag Stanton out of the War Department lie was simply bragging; but when he said the same thiug to Burleigh he was in earnest. The scene was humiliating in the extreme. There stood poor Thomas, dressed in the full uniform °f a Major G.-neral, confessing to the Congress oi the United States and nearly two thousand people that he went around the bar-rooms ol Washington bragging ot what lie intended do -ng to get possession of the War office. At first listeners were incliued to laughter at the old man’s weakness, but it soou turned topily. The prevailing opinion is that Thomas’ P-sti rnony does not help tlie defence. Mr Johu lou s friends pretend to be encouraged by the votes of the Senate against the managers; but no real significance can be attached to them, excepting lhat the Senate wishes to give the President every opportunity to defend himseli. Gen l!lTCm 8UC^ harmless creatures as THE ARKANSAS SENATORS. The Arkansas Seuators will not claim seats until the impeachment trial is concluded. BLODGETT’S CASE. Foster Blodgett was removed from his post otlce in Georgia by Postmaster Kandall for peijury in taking the test oath after having served as an officer in the rebel army. ADDITIONAL WITNESSES FOR THE DEFENCE. The following additional witnesses have been summoned by the defence: George P.

Justice Chase emphatically denies mat he was the author of the article in the In telligencer, does not know who wrote it, aud las never read it MORE TROUBLE APPREHENDED WITH THE IN DIANS. Washington, April 12 —Well informed par \irS “*0 *,1(Jian country, who are now in ashington engaged in transacting business for the interest of various tribes in the extreme Northwest, express their apprehension of a re newal ot the Indian troubles before a month. In several localities, from which reports have from time to time been received, dissatisfac tion among some of the tribes is manifested, owing in a great measure to the delay in ful filling the treaty stipulations, and also on ac count of outrages committed by the whites. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has re peatedly urged Congress for an appropriation of money to make good the promises aud ne {'otiations of the Peace Commi >ioners, but egislative action has been delayed by the im peachment trial.

CRETAN AFFAIRS. Late accounts irom Crete sa.v that the whole non-combatant population of Appocorona have retired to the mouutains, waiting to be conveyed to Greece by the Curistiau powers. A Russian frigate landed on the 6th ot March 600 women ana children at Piraeus.

The Na tional Assembly of the Provisional Govern ment ot Crete has sent to the House ot Rep resentatives an address, both in English and Greek, appealing to the* Uuited States of America, namely; First, to recoguee the Provisional Government of Crete. Second. To pledge the material support of the noble aud freedom loving people tro.m whom they have already received many tokens of sympa thy. Third. To give their pioiection in order to secure the complete “mancipation and inde pendence of the Island. Fourth. Especially that the U. 8. Ambassador at Constantinople be instructed to incorporate with the Ambas sadors of those European powers which are active wiih the Sublime Porte in behalf of Crete. The Committee on Foreign Affairs has the subject under consideration. XLth COB GBi t B—Second SeEfii°a. Ihe Impeachment Trial. NIN1H DAY. Washington, April 11.—Gen. Thomas was examined. He explained that when he saw the President Feb. 21st., he had not received the letter Irom >lr. Stanton which he read yester day. He received it next day. H^also said the instruetionB of the President were for him to take charge, not to take possession of the office. When before the House Committee he did not hear Buileigh'a testimony read. He assented to the correctness of the testimony as reported by Gen. Butler at that time. Cross examined by Mr. Butler—He said he was positive the President simply told him to take charge, not to take possession. He ad mitted that he had called Karsner a liar just as the latter gave his testimony before the the Court. He has not latterly, or ever said, “We will have that fellow out of it if we sink the ship." Did not use an equivalent expres sion to Mr. Johnson last week. Whatever he said to him wus in a jocular way. Since giv ing his testimony yesterday he has not talked about it with Gen. Townsend and several oth ers. He told the counsel this morning what corrections he intended to make in the conver sation which he testified to belore the Commit tee as to liis having had with the President on February 21st, about Gen. Shriver. It did not take place on that day. When called before the committee on February 26th lie twice asked them to postpone the examination until the next moining, to give him time to go over ttie matter in his own mind, which w as refused, lie corrected portions of liia testimony then given. ocii. Sherman was then called. He testified that he urrived in Washington on the 4th of December and remained two months, coming here on business connected with the Indian Commission. About the middle of December he was assigned to duty as one of the board to revise the army articles. Had several inter views with the President in relation to the dif finiltv with Mr. Stanton, btfoie and after the letter's removal. Mr. Stanbtry What conversation took place between you and the President on the 4th of Januajg' in relation to the removal of Mr. Stan ton. The Managets objected. The Chief Justice ruled the question admiss able and a decision by the Senate was colled for, hut before the yeas and nays were taken, Stanbery said he regarded that the testimony ought to be introduced as vital to the case and went on to remind the court that the managers hsd introduced much testimony in the rffort to raise the presumption of criminal intent on the part of the President by testimony relating to events w hich occuned months before the 21st of February, and argued that the counsel had an equal right to bring forward, rebutting testi mony in order to prove the President honest in intention. In support of his position he quoted at length from the report of State trials ol Hardy and Lord Gordon and claimed that tht decisions then made arc precedents to determine tie |r.-sent questh n Butler njoined by' saying that the managers in attempting to introduce Cooper s testimony sought to prove acts, not conversation. In the course of his remarks he refund to Gen Thomas, a weak, vacilaiing old man, pampered by a liule pride and fit to be a tool. He said the counsel hud tried to influence the Senate bv reading simple arguments of lawyers and claiming them for authority, and this attempt he characterized as unprofessional. Mr. Stanbery rose and called on the Chit f Justice to put a stop to such a-peisims against his conduct, stating at the same time that he read the arguments only as explaining the de cisions made. Mr. Butler resumed and spoke at length with more than Usual vehemence, arguing on the rules of evidence, reflecting on Messrs. Stan berv and Thomas and claiming again in con clusion that the Senators were a law unto them selves. Mr. Lvarts quoted from the records of this trial to show that Mr. Butler had assumed the same position and done the same thing which he now denounced as unprofessional in Mr. Stanbery. Mr. Lvarts then went into the merits of the question in dispute. Gen. Sherman testified that at the second in terview the President again offered him the ap po m tine lit of Secretary ol War ad interim. Mr. Stanbery endeavored to examine the witness as to whether the President stated that his intention was to get the matter betore the Courts. M ■ssrs. Bingham aid Butler objected simul taneously. Mr. Stanbery said he had the right to offer interrogations. Mr. Butler argued that being the Court of last resort, it was improper to offer again evi dence that had been ruled out It was some times allowed in inferior Courts for the pur pose of making writs of error or bills of ex ceptions to ruling. Mr. Stanbery did not understand the ruling was upou a specific question. Mr. Butler called attention to the admission by counsel that the question was wit,bin the ruling. He expected it to be ruled out. Mr. Eva its argued that although this was a court ol resort, it was entirely competent to bring to the notice ot the court evidence sup posed to be admissable; that it might be a ruat u r ol argument, while the general conversa tion could not be admitted: the wilurss might oe permuted to testily upon a specific point. By direction ot the Cuief Ju tice the ques tion was brought to writing and handed to Mr. Butler, who objected to it as outrageously lead ing in form and incompetent under the rule. Ihe question was, “In either of those conver sations did the President sa\ to you that his object in appointing you was that he might theu get the questiou of Mr. Rtanlou’s right to the office before the Supreme Court.” Senator Howard demanded the yeas and nays, and they were ordered. The vote was taken and resulted—yeas 7, nays 44. Mr. Stanbery said the question wasundoubt e ly overruled t>n the form, and be proposed to change the form. The question was written out and handed to Mr. Butler, as follows: “Was anything said at .hat conversation by tbe President as to any purpose of getting the question of Mr. Stan ton’s right to the office berore the couris.” Mr. Butler said ihis was the last question without the leading part of it; he argued that it was a settled rule that counsel having pro duced a question leading iu character, they could not alter wards present the same ques tion without the leading part. The rules of evidence are founded on good sense, and this rule, too, is founded on good sense; it is found ed on a proposition that the counsel could not put a leading ouestion to a witness to instruct him what they want to prove, and then alter it is oven uled to put the same question with out its leading form; of coarse that was not meant here, but I think the Senate should not allow itself to be played with iu this way; it you choose, he said, to sit here and have the and nays called, I can stay as long as auybody. Mr. Stanbery disclaimed any intention on the part of the President’s counsel to descend to that form of controversy; he was not in the habit of making factious opposition before any court, high or low, and especially not before this body; he repelled with some warmth the imputation that they had asked the leading questions in order to gain time; this is a matter of great importance; the interests of ourclient are in our bauds, aiM we are to defend him as best we can. The question was further modified, but over ruled by tbo Senate without division. Senator Henderson sent up in writing the joj lowing question to be put the witness.

Miscellany. “The Spirit of Screuiy-^ir- We took occasion a few days since to refer to a lively little play, hearing the above title, which has been amusing cur Boston neigh bors ot late. The play, which was written In Mrs Daniel S. Curtis lor private parlor per formance, has proved so happy a hit that it has been published by Little and Brown. It is styled a “prophetic drama,” and the scene is laid in Boston in 1876. It represents ‘The Coming Woman” as she will be when nvested with ti e powers and privileges for which the maligners of tbe sex assert that she is struggling. There is a good deal of humor in its whimsical exaggeration, and it satirizes some of the extravagances of our modern reformers in a very pleasant manner. We understand that permission has been ob tained to produce the “Spirit of Seventy Six” at Selwym’s theatre in Boston. We would suggest to the managers of the Portland Dramatic Club that they could hardly do better than to introduce “Ihe Coming Wo man"’ to their audience here. We make a few extracts, premising that Victorine is a girl ot eighteen, Carberry a joung geutle man just returned from a ten years’ absence in China, and not “posted” in the progress ot the day; Mr. Wigfall is a man who stays at home and “tends baby” while Mrs. Wig fall canvasses tor a judgeship, and Miss Wolverine Griffin electioneers tor her. We give a scene in which Victorine just returned from a bunting excursion, meets Carberry at the railroad station: Victobine Wearily).—One must be inter ested in something, you know—and to tell you the honest tthth, horse racing and dog lighting bore me, and I’m not much ot a clUD girl, and no sportswoman—so I’ve gone iuto spiders. Cabbekby (aside.)—There's something very odd about all this. (Aloud.) When I Was here last, young ladies interested them selves chiefly in society. Is there no gaiety in Boston now? Victobixe.—Parties,you mean? I reaiiy can’t tell you; Piehaidiy been to a party since my Sophomore year. I don’t like them. It is so unpleasant asking gentlemen todai.ee .they make such a favor of it, and the nicest ones ate eogaged ten deep. And then they always want so much supper! Keally alter I’ve done tieiping my partner, I’m so tired, ihat when I get home I’ve hard ly strength to turn the latch-key. So 1 don’t often go. And yet I'm loud of dancing too. Are you? Cabbkbby.—l have no doubt I should be with such a charming partner—but I’m atraid I have n't much experience. v iotukume—in, uoes n i your latuer lei you dance round dames? C’AUBEBBY (puzzled).—My father! Victobine Aliy, that’s what so many young men say. But 1 think it is only an excuse, became they are too lazy. Cabbekby.—Society seems to have chang ed very much, lor, when 1 Jett Boston, the gentlemen always asked the ladies. Victobine.—Ob, can you remember as far back as thut 1 1 think it must have been pleasanter tfcen lor the girls—but mamma and. Aunt Wolverine say 1 don’t appreciate the blessings ol emancipation. 1 don’t. 1 shoul 1 hate to vote and I’d a great deal rather keep quiet, and be asked to dance, or to anything. Cabbkbry.—Miss Wigfall, such senti ments do you honor. A lady is never so charming as wheD adorned with modesty, ol which I see ihe emblem in jour v.olet eyes. Victobine.—How pretty! Is that the way gentlemen used to talk Do go on. Carbekuy (aside).—It’s not so easy for a shy man to go on. VicioBiNK.—1 don’t know anything about the old ways, lor mamma says lovers were so frivolous, and won’t tell me, and 1 don't believe Aunt Wolverine ever had •ny, so I can't get much oui of her. Cabbekby. The uovels of that pe riod give you some idea. Victobine—But all the old novels were burnt, you know, by order ol the Ladies or the Legislature, because they represented Woman in her degraded state. They say there used to be a lew at Lo ring's Library once, but he only keeps philosophical and sciemitic woiks now, and Mr. Putnam’s Cook ery Book. Cabberry.—No novels! no parties'. No poetry, perhaps—that would be a good thing. Miss Wigfall, did vou never heat ol Tennyson? Victobine.—O yes, indeed! I have a beautiful song of his—‘ Come into the garden, George.” Til sing it to you some day. But now do tell me about old times—lor tbe train may be here any moment, and perhaps 1 shall never Lave another chance. 1 want to know whether gentlemen really cared anvthing lor ladies then? Carbebry—Certainly, I knew a great many leliows who were over head and ears in love with pretty girls. Victobine.—In love There! I knew there was such a thing! And what did they do and sav Barberry.—(aside.)—What an embar rassing girl! (aloud). I dare say vou know from experience, Miss Wigiafl. Victobine.—1!—no, indeed—I never made an oiler to anybody. Cabbekby.—!'««/ Of course aot. What did you think I meant? Victobine.—Were you ever in love vour sell 1 Carrerby.—Never, never, I assure you. Victobine.—Oh, I wish you had been, for then jou. could have told me ail about it. But “those fellows” you spoke of, who were “over head and ears” —what did they say? I only wanted to know what it sounded like. Can’t you sight—just once! Caiibebby (very much embarrassed.) Beaily, Miss Wigfall. Victobine.—Were they so very awkward? Come, now—wha’ did they say? Carcebby.—Well then they said they said A Voice (without).— Train starting for Boston—All aboard! IVicroKiNE and Cabberry snatch up guns, bags, shawls, and rush out Arrived at Mr. Wigf all's house, Miss Griffin makes love to Carberry, meeting all his ob jections and concluding as follows: T on want a guide, philosopher, and friend: so of course, you would n'l many a baby. Uben, as to mere wax-doll beauty, ol course you don’t care for ihat. You want a woman of majestic presence (drawing herself up) mind —experience —heart—and, above ail, sound political principles, which are the on ly sure loundation on which to erect the fab ric of connubial bliss. Victotine keeps her promise and sings Tennyson’s song, as follows: Come into tlie garden, George Don’t sit tbeic all uisitaud drone; Come Into the garden, George, I am smoking beie alone, And the scent of your meerschaum is waited abroad. And the scent ot Cabanas blown. For a brezee of evening moves, An I Ihe planet of Love doth rise I’m beginning to puff the weed we’iove In a smoky Fnrauise, To puffin grert clouds the touacco we love, from a pipe colored brown as your eyes. Como into the garden, George, &c.,&c Carberry cannot escape Miss Grffin, how ever, and a long scene follows, from which we quote: Miss Griffin.—You find a great change in our midst, my deal sir, on your return. Wo man has taken her righttul place, and no lon j vli£9 Griffin>tLe pres-ion of Male Dinner p-,!i the bup ila’r-,—savs she must see you ou u 18 dowri Miss Griffin.—Provoking! iimmess’ perlectly still, and I’ll be back directly iV-J Miss Griffin. l-acet Cakiibuby (alone.—Good Heavens 1 what *diul siluatlon 1 am 'n This woman is *ujf?t|y50,Dg to make me an offer of mar ria*eI Wlial shall I do? What can Isay? What on earth was it young ladies used to j say In the good old times If our readers wish to learn how Carberry escapes from his dilemma we refer them to the book itself. ___ jR-EMOVALS* Si E M O y A L J.

Mint Philadelphia. Read the TeMamony. Stetson, Maine, Nov. 27, ’07. Messrs. B. R. Croasdale Co. 104 North Del. Av. Phil’a.—I have just returned from an absence of some six weeks, or yeur letter should have been an swered sooner, I can sav in reference to to your .Super-phosphate that I have u el the Phosphate of two o her Manufacturers, and J have never received as much benefit trom any as trom ibis I sold it to twenty-one varm*rs, and they all say it is the test they ever used. I used it on an old mowing field; 120 lbs. to the acre, and it increased the crop one third to one-fifth p*rt. I used it on my oats, and the piece o'ground was run down and worn out— tne oats were about thiee or tour inches high—it changed the color at once, became dark and stout; had a splend d crop. I can raise as good corn with six dollar*’ worth to one acre as 1 can with eight cores oi manure. I will send you the tesiamonyol my neighbors soon. I think I can sell from 50 to 100 tons. How soon an you ship it? I think now April will be soon enough. Yours &c, M. E. RICE. Stetson, Maine. Feb. 12th 1868. This certifies that I used Croasdale’s Super Phos phate last season on corn and telieve it ii creased my cron one-third at least, as I left a part of the piece without, and all manured alike. Daniel goodwin. Portland, Me., Nov 13, 1867. Messrs B. R. Croasda’e Co.: The Phosphate has given perfect satisfaction in every ca.-e save one, and in fields where it has been used it can be plainly distinguished by the mperior growth and color ot the crops. You.is, A. F. LUNT. West Bridgewater, Mass. Messrs B R Croasdale Co I used your Phr.spnate side by side with Coe’s and could see even till the first of Augu t decided ben eCt iu favor of yours—that is, tlie st'.lks of coni we-e much largei. I used it treeiv on grass m the spring, and lale on some turnip*. The grass crop was re markably goed, and it remains to be ?een what the iu nips will do. The season was too wet to properlv lestit. Yours, F. E. HOWARD. West Falmouth, Me.,Dec.23,18o7. Mess. B. R. Croasdale Co 1 chancyd to fall upou some of your Phosphate iu Portland last year, and bei ig pleased with the ap pearance ol it, 1 tried it on my carrots. There was three-fourths of an acre of ground, and I use l one ban el cf Phosphate. I harvested fifteen tons ot car rots trom the piece. I have used Coe’s and tlie Cum berland, but never received so mu h benefit trom them as from ibis. The carrots wcie large size and fine flavor. I also used it on barley; and had it not been blown down, should have had a good crop.— As it was, it was much b Her than any other in the neighborhood. I used me barrel to the acre. 1 also used it.on my strawberr es and in setting the plants put it in ti e hill. The growth wa splendid, and I shad be able to tell you of a large crop ot berries next year I hope. Yours, IRA WINN. Gorham, Maine, Dec. 23, 1807. Mess B R Croasdale Co 1 used in tlie spring of 1867 a small quantity of your Super-Pwosphate upon my apple orchard of voung growth—just before a rain The effect wr s sunrislin'; it changed the foliage at once, became dark, aad the growth of wood during the season gieatly exceeded that of previous years. 1 lound al so the milage remained longer on th* trees than w hen I did not apply the Iho-jhate. I used it on my garden lor corn, potatoes, beans, peas, beets, cucunn ers, &c., and the effect was high ly satisfactory excepting the potatoes. 1 had a row of grape vines, aud u ed ihe Plu^phate on them. I was agreeably surpiised with the re-uli, as I did not expect anything from it, as tlie lanu was so run down, it did well tor them, ar.d they showed a very remarkable grow tb. 1 can fully recommend this ar ticle as a good fertilizer. Yours, ISAAC McLELLAN. I used Croaedale’s Super-Phosphate the last sea son in planting my corn, potatoes and gaiden, and was satisfied wiili ihe result. 1 got good crops of cern and potatoes on newly broken up land, which was run out and b»id not been tilled lor many years.
