The Funeral of General Berry,

The funeral ceremonies of General Berry
which took place on Thursday of last week
at Rockland, were conducted on scale be-
fitting the gallant and patriotic dead GEN
eral Berry was one Of natures noblemen
brave. honorable, true, and prompt to obey
every call of patri,tism. lie was found in
the ranks Of the grand onion Army because
he loved his country and revered its institu-
tons, and not because he sought only the
fame and glory to be found in the profession
OF arms. Other and truer motives impelled
him forward at the first call to arms. The
history Of his brief ard brilliant career, in
Its out..aes is already known to the public.
The pen Q! some friend to the dead General
and still living and struggling country, no
doubt, will ere long give ne more detailed
history Of one 50 truly lamented and whose
career WAS 50 brilliant and patriotic. The
loyal public, months ago, loved to think Of
the brave General Berry. They will eve,
hold his name in remembrance.
The Rocklaud Free Press gives an extend
ed notice of the obsequies. Rev. n. Butler
OF Auoarn delivered the address on the &C.
casion. Governor Coburn. Ex-Governor
Washoarn, Senator Morrill,, Judge Rice,
and Vice President Ilamin were in attend
ance. Adjutant General uodson issued a
patriotic orter, enumerating some Of the
fields where the General won distinction and
detailing various detachments of the militia
for guard Of honor to attend the body from
Portland to Rockland, and to remain on
duty there until the close of the services.
The Masonic fraternity were represented

Murder OF Mr.. Tinker.

Seldom has our community received such
shock, as it did on Thursday of last week,
on learning by telegraph that Richard Tink-
er, Esq, formerly of Ellsworth, bat for the
last three years, Warden of the State Prison
at Thomaston, had been murdered The
murder is one of the most fendish one we
ever read of, and seems to have been without
any provocaticn or the least excuse or pallia'
ton. From what we learn there was no. a;
the time, nor had there been any Trouble be.
tween the Warden and the prisoner. We
copy the account of the melancholl, affair
from the Rocklaud Gd.1te.
Our citizens were shocked on Thursday
by receiving the appalling Intelligence that
Hon. Richard Tinker, Warden of the State
Prison at Thomaston, had been 6sndshy
murdered at about twelve o'clock on that
day by Francis {. Spencer, one OF the con
victs. As we learn the facts, Mr.. Tinker
was in the wheelwright's shop IN the up
per story of one ofthe buildings in the yard }
and was engaged at the desk, with the over
seer, when Spencer came up behind him
and struck him blow with knife upon
the right eide Of the throat, scverins the
caroted artery. On receiving the blow. Mr..
Tinker exclaimed, i" b Iieye he has killed
me, and started toward the door. \ pris-
onsr offered him hi. support but he declined
1t, and walked down - the ground, and
took three or four steps acr IS the yard,
when he fell, and almost Immediately expir.

Spencer exclaimed, when he had given
the fatal blow, " Cd d-n 'em. Ill LET
EN- know there is one man here who is not
afraid to die. and we. are told he INN adi-
ately caught a broad-axe in his left hand
(the knife being in his right and menaced
the oyerseer, but subsequently gave himself
up.
The murderer was committed under the
name we have given. but We understand that
his real name is Coolier. He is entered as
native of Frankfort, and is thirty-fve
years of age.
He Was Committed from Cumberland
County, in 1860, for five years, for an as
slult to ravish.' We know of no cause or
depravity Of the murderer, who eviaccs. So
far as we learn, no conjunction for his
dreadful deed
Governor C)burn, who WAS in this city
when the intelligence WAS received, proceed
ed to Thomaston Thursday night. The
Grand Jury have been summoned together
and Attorney & neral Drumnond has been
sent for. and Spencer will undoubtedly be
brought to trial before the S. J. Court now

The TiiBune's Washington despatch states
that the Government is disposed to credit the
report that the rebels have evacuated Vicks-
burg.
The same despatch has the following in
reference u the three hundred dollar clause
of the couscription act
The Sec'v Of War has within three or four
days declared several times that he had con-
claded to c)Hst-ue this clause to be pcrnss-
i've and not mandatory upon him. and should
ignore it, but the arguments which convincct
the Sec y and Senator Wilson of the correct
ness of this view failed to convince Solicitor
Whiting. whose opinion on the question Of
law Is justly valued, nor is there any evidence
that the President, who has heretofore con-
sidered the clause binding upon the Sec'y.
c0ucurs i'll the latter view that its enforce
ment is optional with him
1t will TINS be seen that the Government
has not yet authoritatively decided the ques-
ton, and it is not Improbable, in view Of its
exceeding Importance, that it may yet be re-
terred to the Attorney Gen. Possible either
IN lieu Of such reference, or in addition to it
the several members of the Cabinet may be
called upon to lay their opinions in writing
before the President.
1t is understood that the views of the At
torney General are Numerically opposed to
those entertained by the Secretary Of War,
and that he holds that the law obliges the
Secretary OF War t. fix a sum by the pay
ment OF which to properly appointed per
sons the drafted man may discharge himself
TIE eyentful determination of the Gov
crnment, under these circumstances, is of
course matter of uncertainty.

HOpefu: signs.

Among the many encouraging signs of the
times. We note as especially significant the
downfall in the prices Of those products
which depend upon i long resistance to the
authority Of the Government for their great
imitation. Tie downfall in the prices of
cotton has we'll nigh ruined ma jority of
the pecalators doing business in this city.
and while they have our synpathy-for in
diyiduaily they are very agreeable set OF
flliows-we must rel ice in the cause which
has brought them to grief. All the products
Of the SJuth, except tobacco, are still on the
downward road-sinking just as fast as the
popular faith IN the early determination Of
the rebellion rises. The Government cur
rency is much stronger now than for long
time heretofore, and in this city. for the first
year, Treasury notes are preferred in the
marke: to Bank paper. The belief that the
days Of ReheldJm are numbercd-and by
very snail e-ures, too-is universal, and
commerce governs itself accordingly. The
owners Of ogr New York and New Orleans
steamships are likly to do very Large bus

the more danger Of being drowned in spite
OF all assistance. Two or three times youn.
Merritt had Jude under the water. but not
w''hstandins, he succeeded in getting him
near the shore, when help arrived and pulled
them both out. 1t was a narrow escape for

or he may retail spirituous liquors, and
not keep an hotel, Although it is usual
in some States to unite the two kinds Of
business, the law preserves the distinc-
ton between them, and subjects each to u
tax in the shape of license fee, and this
at rate and upon principle altogether
different. The value of the properly is
the basis of the tax in the one case the
nature of the business the basis in the
other.
BY the 43l section of the supplement,
approved March 81, 1868, no alteration
Is made in the act of July /, 1862, ex-
cept that the latter act prohibits the
person licensed to keen an hotel from
selling liquors to be taken off the prem
Uses. This is intended to prevent an
holel keeper licensed TO sell liquors, as
well as food and lodging, from pursuing
under cover of his license, a distinct
branch of business, and entering into
competition with apotheearies, merchants,
or others, who may be allowed by the
local law to sell, BY retail, liquors to be
carried of the premises, and who, Ike
hotel keeper, must, in suca case, pay for
his privilege license fee Of $50.
The provision in both acts, tina: moth
ing contained therein shall aut4ori-e

islative declaration, that it is not the
intention of Congress to authorize the
retail of liquors. That body leaves the
right to traffic in the article to be re.u-
lated by the law of the proper State. \
State may prohibit the sale Of spirituous
liquors altogether. II, however, such
sale is allowed, tax is imposed for the
support Of the Government in the shape
Of license fee; aud retailer. whatever
other business he may choose, or be per-
mitted to pursue, in connection with his
