rpor any course Of action At baltimore, but It Is
believed they will refuse to agree to compromise
of half.nndhalf delegation With the clasbankr.
The delegation Is probably nearly unanimous foz
Ecu nutler as It stands. The German Radicals here
wish the Convention to rcl1se to admit the Amc1f~

fEfUm th8 n. I. HERALD, June /. N-
The will Of the late Col Andrew ]. Butler,
brother and private Secretary Of Major Gem
era1 Benjamin F. Butler, the "tamer OF New
Orleans" was before Surrogate Tucker yes
terday, on the return of the citations. Col.
Butter died suddenly in this city, last winter,
on his return home from New Orleans, leav-
ing a very large personal property, which
rumor flxes at two millions, invested In gov
crnments ! but Major General Butler, the
executor, specifies It ut only two hundred
thousand dollars. The property Is divided
b. The viii, one-half. to 60 to major General
Butler quarter to the widow Of the de-
ceaeed, and one quarter to be held In trust
By the executor for the benefit Of the son OF
deceased, TIL the latter shall attain the age
Of thirty. The Surrogate, On examining tie
pnpera decided them to be Informal, and the
probate Of the will is therefore postponed,
probably TIL Major General Butler can come
personally to New York Security Will be
required By the aurro rogate In double the value
Of the personal estate, as Gen. Butler, the
executor, Is not d resident Of this State.

The Irish Rebellion.

Rebellion is the order of the day. In Ward
of this city, where Democracy has consider
ed itself inyincible and impregnable, the wire
pullers met in caucus few evenings since and
made up their programme, entirely ignoring
the foreign element, which is the strength Of
the party, and showing by their acts that an
Irishman has no rights which Democrat is
bound to respect. The result was a revolt.
The adopted citizens in the Ward sounded
the bugle note of rebellion, and mustered
their forces for resistance. Then it was that
the native troops showed the white feather,
for they surrendered to the Irish Brigade
without firing gun, all their commissioned
leaders throwing down their arms and crying
for quarter. A flag of truce was sent to the
victorious rebels in the form of call for a
Ward Caucus, with view to harmonic all
difficulties, and having met for conference on
Saturday evening, a protocol was drawn up
and signed, under the provisions of which the
parties have reunited TO meet the Union
forces at the polls to-day. Under this new
development the natives have surrendered
half the loayes and fishes the Irish insurgent
leaders agreeing TO accept this in considera-
ton Of their continuance to work at the
pumps to keep the old Democratic hulk afoat
little longer. Whether they have gained
any real advan tage remains to be seen.

RATIFICATION Meeting.

Considering the unpleasant state of the
weather, good audience turned out at the
City Hall on Saturday evening, to ratify the
Union nomination to be supported for Mayor
to-day. n A. Foster, Esq, of the City Com
mittee, called the meeting to order, and on his
motion, Judge Kingsbury was called to the
Chair, who accepted the position with appro-
pirate remarks.
Solomon I. Corser, Esq, from the Commit
tee to nominate candidate for Mayor, report
ed that the Committee unanimously present
ed the name of Hon JACOB MCCLELLAN for
reelection. The report was received with
rapturous applause.
Ex-Gov. Washburn was introduced as the
first speaker, and made an eloquent speech of
about half an hour. He was followed by Geo.
W. Woodman, Esq, and Hon. J. II. Drum
mond. The Portland Band was present and
furnished excellent music.
The meeting was an enthusiastic one, and
adjourned to meet at the polls to-day, more
fully to ratify the nomination by consumating
the triumphant election Of the nominee.
The Portland daily press., 1864-03-07

Saturday morning when the regular passen-
ger train on the Name Central, from Bangor,
was about dozen miles this side of that city,
rail broke about one foot from the end, in
consequence of which the third car was thrown
violently from the track There were four
passenger cars; the two forward cars passed
safely, and only two wheels of the rear car
left the track. The other car made lurch to
the left side, but in some unexplained man
ner reacted, and was violently thrown to the
right, striking upon the side, three or four
feet lower than the track, and bringing up
about twenty ieet from the rails. The car
was full OF passengers there were two stoves
in it, one at each end, and so violent was the
conclusion that all the windows were broken
and nearly all the seats upon one side were
torn from their places and yet-almost mirac.
nlous to state-not bone of passenger was
broken, and no one was injured beyond few
slight Commissions of the flesh! The passen-
gers all got into the other cars, and the train
was not long behind time on its arrival at this
city.

Sy- 1t is seldom We are called upon to re-
cord death that has caused such universal
sadness, as that of I. Starr King. With a
brilliant future apparently before him, pos
sessed of rare genius, originality, and powers
of eloquencc, respected and beloved by all
who formed his acquaintance, he has been
snatched suddenly away from time to enter
upon new and incomprehensible existence
while in the vigor of manhood. before his plans
of future usefulness had been fully matured.
Mr.. X. was born in New York, succeeded Rev.
4. ii. Chaplin in Charlestown, Mass, in 1916.
and in the spring of 1861, for the purpose of
entering upon wider field of usefulness,
went to San Francisco, and had but just com

The Dry Dock Enterprise.

Merchants Exchange was well filled Satur-
day forenoon at ii o'clock, in response to the
invitation of the Committee having in charge
the Dry Dock enterprise. The meeting was
called to order by c. NJ. Davis, Esq, on whose
motion the Mayor, Hon. Jacob Mcclellan, was
called to the Chair
James 0. Brown, Esq, was chosen Secre-
tary, and upon call Of the Chairman, he read
the appeal which has appeared in the daily
papers of the city.
T. c. Hersey, Esq, from the Committee
above referred to, reported that several suita-
BILE sites for dock had been examined, and
proposals had been received, but it must be
left for the stockholders to decide definitely
upon location.
pledge to be signed by subscribers, not bind
ing unless $4,000 shall be pledged. Various
estimates had been made by members of the
Committee, and no reasonable doubt could
exist in the mind Of any one of the profitable
ness to the stockholders of such an enterprise
as that proposed, while the benefits to the
commercial interests of the city and State,
would be almost incalculable. Mr.. II. urged
capitalists to invest their money in such need
ed home enterprises, which will be of perma-
nent advantage to the city, rather than in fan
cy stocks which financial revulsion may
sweep into oblivion. He stated incidentally
that probably in the city at the present time
there are one thousand families needing tene-
ments Of moderate rent
The Collector of the port, Ex-Gov. Wash
burn, was called for, and made few very in
teresting remarks. He felt deep interest in
Portland, and especially because it is the COM
mercial centre of the State, and whatever
benefits ii will also benefit the State. He said
that the commercial importance Of Portland
was beginning to be appreciated, for the Sec
rotary of the Treasury had recommended the
erection of a new and spacious Custom
House, commensurate with the wants of the
place, and suggested that Portland should be
considered hereafter one of the first class
ports.
The books for subscriptions were opened,
and a vote was passed to keep them open at
Merchants Exchange till this Monday eve
ming. We have not learned the result thus
far, but the subscriptions were started with a
| liberalty indicative Of sure success. A spirit
of determination possesses the movers in this
matter.

A Compliment to New England.

Hon. Jarrett Davis, a quasi-rebel Senator
from Kentucky, has offered an amendment to
pending bill, proposing to consolidate New
England into two States, Maine and Massa-
chusetts constituting one and the four remain
Ing States constituting the other, thus getting
rid OF New England influence by reducing its
power in the Senate sixty-six and two-thirds
per cent. Whether this proposition will find
approval among the copperheads generally, or
whether the Copperhead State Convention,
called to meet in this city in June, will APP
prove it, we have not the slightest means of
knowing. At any rate, it is high compli-
ment = unwittingly paid - to New England
brains and New England Influence. This ap-
pears from the following considerations:
The sic New England States had free
population, by the census of 1860, of 3,l35,-
2S3, while the same number of States in which
the divine Institution" still exists, to wit !:
Delaware, Florida, Arkansas, South Carolina,
Texas and Mississippi, had total free popu-
lation OF only l,54o,S92, for which Senator
Davis would allow twelve votes in the Sem
ate against four from New England. If we
add three more large "patriarchar' States
Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana-we have in
the whole nine total free population of $780,
9l7, or lO4,366 less than New England. Now
Mr.. Senator Davis proposes to balance nine
States, and eighteen Senators, by t,co New
England States and four Senators, showing.
as he is Democrat and of course ignores ne
gro suffrage and believes ona white mo, 20
be just equal to another - that he consid-
ers Jour 'psdt'n-singing" Yankee Roundheads
more than a match for eighteen chicalrous
cdudlters! We say more than a match, be-
cause the four would represents hundred
thousand free population more than do the
eighteen. We insist upon it, whatever his
intent, that Senator Davis highly compliments
New England, for which he has our hearty
thanks.
