portion of the company marched through the
crowd and took position in front of the door
on Congress street, when the mob began to
pelt them with stones and several OF the
soldiers were severely injured An order was
given to fire, thinking that the order itself
might possibly tcrriiy the mob. But the
order was not executed, and the company
finally retired to their armory, somewhat in
confusion. The Rifle Guards were then
called upon, and promptly responded to the
call. Mayor Dow, with Aldermen Carleton
aud Brooks (tbc committee appointed by the
Board of Al1ermcn) put himself at their
head-they marched into the armory Of the
Light Guards, and took their guns, Gas their
rifles were without bayonets,) secured some
cartridges, and then marched down through
the crowd and into the room through the door
on Middle street. Orders were then given
for them to fire through the door on Congress
street, i'll squads of four. This order was
executed, with what effect we are not able
definitely to state-but the report is that one
man IAN lrishman) was killed, and some six
or seven wounded, more or less severely.
lew rounds, however, sulced to drive the
mob from the door, and gradually, at about
II clock, the mob disperscd-lca,ing the
police, the military and city authorities IN
quiet possession of the room, with the proud
conciousness that they had nohly dis charged
their duty, and that law and order had pre-.
vailed against lawless mob
large public meeting of the citizens of
Portland was held on Monday at which II
committee Of nine was appointed to invcsti.
gate and prosecute the charges against theau-
thoritics, and it also was ordered to wait uron
the Mayor, and request him, ON behalf Of the
citizens, to resign his Office No farther dis
turbance of any kind has occurred
There has existed among the opponents
OF the Maine Law in Portland, very naturally,
strong feeling against Mayor Dow BY
them he is charged with frequently lisro-
Sarding the lormalities Of law and the rights
and feelings Of citizens On the other hand
Mr.. Dow has undoubtedly been determined
to enforce rigidly the law which lie has the
credit OF originating, and in this case seems
from all that yet appears, to have carried
matters with higher hand than was neces-
sary or proper We find in none Of the
accounts any indication that the disorder had
reached, or was likely to reach Il point which
would justify tho shedding of blood and
destruction of lie. The occurrence, cannot

We do not know upon what ground the late
elections in Maine are SET down in the telegraph
and elsewhere as Know Nothing triuuphs. There
is party in Maine which is represented in the
Governors chair by man whose name is Arson
P. Morrill,. That party styles itself the Republi
can party. Under that flag Mr.. Morrill, has been
renominsted with extraordinary unanimity, and
will doubtless be reelected by an overwhelming
majority. Under that flag the lac town cleo
tons have been held and, so far as we have seen
the returns, the party seems to have been uni
formly successful. That psrty is composed of
the old Free Soil party, the main body of the
Wings, the Anti. Nebraska Democrats, the Tenn
peraDce men and the Know Nothings. Of these
elements complete fusion has been made, and
the result is the triumphant success in the pres
en!, with brilliant prospects for the future. Its
fundamental basis, however, is Anti-Slsvery and
Temperance, undisguised and outspoken.

The thanks of the community are due to Gov.
Clark and to the Senate for returning to the
Board of Commissioners of Emigration our es-
teemed fellow citizen GEORGE W. BLUNT. 1t is
now about year since Mr.. Blum! was suddenly
removed from the Board BY Gov. Seymour, under
circumstances which gave to the act the appear
snce of having been dictated by mere sectarian
exclusiyeness, and for that reason alone his res
tOrsiion has been desired BY al independent men
who have been aware of the facts. But quite
apart from this, Mr.. Blunt's presence 10 the
Board cannot be other than benefit to the COM
nuDity. The rare energy, ability and devotion
he brings to bis official duties, the extent of his
information, and the courage and fidelity with
which he sustains what be believes to be right,
render his assumption of the important functions
TO which he has now for the second time been
appointed, fit subject for public notice AMI con-

RUSSIAN DiPLOMArISTs.

When, on the declaration Of war, the Russian
diplomat retired from London and Paris, their
protracted scjourn, each with his respective staf,
in Brussels and Darmstadt, occssioned much talk
among European politicians and quidnuncs. 1t
was .urnised that NJ. Kisseleff took up his abode
in Brussels to be within reach Of Paris, in
order to continue his diplomatic rum nagings;
while Baron Brunof at Drmstadt was to in
fame and direct the policy of the lesser Ger
man courts. The truth, however, is, that the
Car was nrtated to the utmost by the evidences
of their incspscity and in the FIRST outsurss Of
passion, prohibited them from returning to Rus
sis, while all that Coubt Nesselrode-generaly
very regardful Of the welfare of his subslterns-
could obtain was, that their salaries should be
paid in full Now both these unucky diplomat
lists, with their OF secretaries and attaches-except
ing those who entered the army-are put on the
shelf They are brought down to the position Of
supsrnumeraries, with very re iuced pay, and at.
tached to the ministry of Foreign Affairs or, as it
is said, placed at the disposition of the minister.
In all probability Kisseeff, as well as Baron Bru-
noff has exhausted his diplomatic career. Kis-
seleffw will DO longer enjoy asybaritish life at Paris
nor Brunei. with his runaway wife, count among
tie aristocratic leaders of the haut ton in London
The next most prominent man still sfoat Of all
the wrecked Russian diplomats, is n. rtof, at
present connected with Prince Gorch ,koff in car
ryipg on the negotiations of peace at Vienna. NJ.
Titof was for more than twenty years at Con stan
tnope either SIS secretary or chief of the Russian
legation. After the Menchkof ex plosop, he was
nominated to Stuttgart, Dsrmstadt and Frank
fort, to replace Prince Gorchakod, who went to
Vienna. He belongs 70 the new generation, and
ranks among the aoest diplomatists Of Russia.
He 10 student, and possesses very extensive geo-
eral information. He shares in the opinioas Of
the 20 called Pansavistic and ultra Russian party.
Al an aid of Gorchakoff be will be of great use,
being acquainted with the deepest intricacies of
the Eastern question. and with many details un-
known I, Gorchakotf, who never WAS concerned
with Turkish or Oriental diplomacy. After
these two comes NJ. Fonton, Councillor Of Lega-
ton, special favoiite OF the Gar, person of
great shrewdness, skill, and daring. During the
days OF trial In lS49, Fonton vac favorte friend
and adviser Of the Archduchess Sophia the mother
Of Francis Jo'ePh. AT the same time, by way of
novelty, Dsmidod, with his large fortune, 10 also
attached to the Vienna legation, princi pally for
the sake of display; dinners and bslls will be his
forte.
1t is thus evident that the Wanted and feared
old tribe Of Russian diplomats are reduced to
corporal's guard in numbers. and the system must
exhibit fresh power to regain ts former celebrity
and influence. As yet however, it has brought
