There are mean men in every community, but
the meanest of all men is he who prays in his
family and then goes among his fellow men to
cheat them of their just rights--who wears the
garb of religion in order to lie-whose soul is
cankered all over with illberality and meanness
who carries in his countenance the mark of
villainy--who is detested by all classes and whose
death would be lamented by none. Such men
are like the caIcasses of dead dogs weighing
down society--a stink in the nostrils of decency
"a loathsome piece of humanity, whose every
touch withers--whose breath singes the beauty
and bloom of innocence. Smoothed-tongued,
they warm themselves into the confidence of the
unwary and then serpent-like sting them. The
hypocritical smile turks about the lips while be-
meath is shielded the assassn's dagger. Beware
of such men. Shun them. Pass them on the
other side.

The massive stone block in course Of erection
on the corner of st. Anthony and Eagle streets is
rearing its cornice almost to the clouds. 1t will
be magnificent structure and an honor to the
town. Such buildings are calculated TO give an
appearance Of soldity to our city we'll calculated
to favorably impress the stranger. Fronting on
Eagle street it is five stories in height, looking
from that side like huge mountain Of rocks. an
The Phoenix Block, near the Post Office, will
be finished in the course of few days. Doctor
Stewart is already having the finishing external
touches put on his division. f
The new buildings on the corner Of st. Anthony
and Franklin streets are also beginning to assume
shape which guarantees completion before cold
weather sets in. We understand that the corner
building will be built with square and smooth
stone, which will add greatly to its beauty.
In every part of tho city can be heard the
builders hammer and the mason's trowel. Every
effort is being made to complete the buildings in
course Of erection by the close of navigation,
and if the present favorable weather continues
into November, nearly every house will be ready
to receive occupants the coming winter. BY far
the largest ,number of buildings that has ever
gone up in one season has been erected tho pre-
sent summer and fall. We have not ascertained
the exact nu4ber, but it is very large, reaching
several hundred. B <.n-r sa 3

The Panama Troubles.

The report of the Special Commissioner, Mr..
Corwine, appointed by our Government TO inves-
tigate the circumstances attending the massacre
of American citizens ut Panama by the natives,
fixes the responsibility of that fearful outrage
upon the Panamenos, and upon the native author
tiles. The riot which ended so disastrously, was
-as was stated at the tims-commenced by ma
tive firing pistol at an American passenger,
who was intoxicated, and Mr.. Corwine has salts
fed himself that the subsequent attack on the
Railroad depot, and the general attack on the
passengers, were the result of plan previously
formed. lie states that the evidence shows that
the police were concerned in the plan, and that
the military authorities not only failed to perform
their duty, but connived ut the outrages and ex-
cesses of the people.
Mr.. Corwine's report is now occupying the at
tention of the Cabinet at Washington. What
course our Government at Washington viii pur-
sue in relation to this matter, has not yet been
made public. Our Minister to England is now
negotiating for settlement of these difficulties,
but it is difficult to tell what course of policy the
present Administration may take.

The President Going Home.

1t having been announced that the President
was to visit Concord, N. H., the first week in
October, the citizens of that place, about 900
in number, assembled at the Depot Hall, Tuesday
evening, agreeably to call, to make arrange
ments to extend to him public reception. Gen.
Low, formerly Wing, but who since 1S4S has
been Democrat, called the meeting to order
An attempt was made to force John Fl. George,
Of I" glorious and god-like" notoriety, upon the
meeting, as chairman. The response against him
was three to one but Gen. Low declared in his
favor, and the gentleman who dined with Bully
Brooks walked towards the platform. The storm
of Kisses which followed was so great that Gen.
eral Low reversed the decision, and Mr.. George
retired. Gen. Chandler was then chosen Chair
man. From report in the Journal, we learn
that Gen. Low made an address in favor of
grand reception. He said he was once an oppo-
nent Of Gen. jackson, but when the old hero
came to Concord he did all he could to give him
great reception. He believed that those who
now differed with Gen. Pierce politically would
yet live to see the day. as he had done in the
of Andrew jackson, when they would esteem him
as highly as jackson is now esteemed. This re-
mark was instantly met with terrible shower of
Kisses, and a simultaneous I" NEVER! Never Z"
