We hope our subscribers will not feel
any alarm at the clarifying storm raised in
the Republican papers about our being Gar
rested" on last Friday by Deputies L. S.
Marshals Sands and Wheeler for 'conspi
racy." We responded to the gentleman
summons with all freedom, and was only
surprised on arriving at Judge Leavtt's
courtroom chat they all seemed more anx
ious to get rid of US than we did to part
with them, aud we returned the same night
to appear again when they want US. We
shall give our readers full account of this
affair in due season. If it does not turn
out humbug, then there are no humbugs
in this world at this time. 1t has given the
Republican papers, some of which are no
better than they should be, good chance
to blow off steam, and they should make
the most of it. There is nice little
story behind this, which will not look
quite so we'll when made public, if we have
got the hang of it correctly.
To Marshal Sands and his Deputies We
return our thanks for their very gentle
manly conduct in this business and the
friendly interest they took in returning us
to our family and business in the shortest
possible time. As it was our first appear.

a little awkward but they showed US how
to act and We went through successfully

correspondence of the New Haven Register
BRIDGEpoRr Conn.,, May 80
A case of crime recently occurred in this
CITY. which has caused considerable sensa-
ton, but has as yet received but little no J
tico from the local paper which went out OF
its way to hold up to the public In glaring
colors the moral condition of your city. l
cannot vouch for all the facts, but give you
the story as it is understood here Some
three or four weeks ago young lady uamed
Ada Leland, the daughter Of wealthy and
respectable parents in Brooklyn, N. Y, left
her home saying that che was going TO visit
friends in Boston. After an absence of
some days, nothing being heard from her,
the friends in Boston were inquired Of by
telegraph, but could give no information
concerning her. 1t appears ahat the young
lady had been keeping company with a
young clerk named Hsnford, and it was un-
derstood they were engaged to be married.
He gave contradictory stories of the where
abouts Of the young lady, but finally said
she was in Bridgeport, The friends immedi-
ately employed policemen Wyatt O. Marsh
and VIM. Williams of this city, to find the
girl. The person Of the young lady had be-
come we'll known to our citizens from her
appearance on the street-her beauty and
rich style of dressing attracting attention.
The police soon reported that no such per-
son was in the city, and volunteered the
suggestion that it must be some other Bridge
port. Not satisfied, the parents OF Miss LIE.
land sent up two New York detectives, who
readily found where the young lady
had been living, but they were too late to
save her from the horrid fate that awaited
her. Through their exertions it was dis
covered that the unfortunate young woman
had submitted to the operations Of physi
cian to conceal her shame, and that she had
died some two weeks before. 1t is said
that her body was conveyed to barn iu
the outskirts Of the city, where it was left
one night in an almost nude state; afterward
it was placed in box and sunk in the river
where it remained several days, and was fa
nally taken up, conveyed to Boston, and
buried. Warrants we're at once taken out
for the parties concerned in the affair, and
on Friday last the two policemen above.

Both papers the Daily and the Weekly -

cussion of the great principles which underlie

Liberty and Equal Rights, being forced upon

position. The emancipation of those held in
bonds before the rebellion the death of slavery
that Liberty and the Nation may live will find
the Press neither hesitating nor reserved in its
advocacy and support.
In a word, the PREss will stand by the gov
ernment under all contingencies, and defend
and support those who labor to maintain its in
tegrity and honor; and it will be, as it has been
heretofore, the uncompromising foe of all rebels
and rebel sympathizers, without respect to their
locality or position.
In the political campaign to be fought before
the close of theyear 1864 the PREss win be found

J. T, GILMAN. Editor.


In starting the PORTLAND DAILY PRESS the
Proprietors were influenced by what they be-
lieved to be demand of the loyal public senti-
ment of the State, and the generous reception
which it has met with, and the unexpected meas
ure of success which has uniformly attended il
thus far, afford the most satisfactory evidence to
the proprietors that they did not misconstrue the
public demand. The Press has been in existence
but one year and a half, and though it was COM
menced with no previous canyassing, and with
the field, TO superficial observer, fully occupied
by papers having old associations and honor
able antecedents, yet in its brief history it has
gained circulation never before attained by any
daily paper in the State, and hold upon pub
lie confidence and respect most encouraging to
the proprietors, and stimulating to their cher
ished desire to satisfy the public wants by max
ing such paper as shall be deemed a public ne
ccssity by the loyal people of Maine.
Though the PRESS has had a success far ex-
ceeding the most sanguine expectations of its
projectors, and though comparatively few sub
scribers have been heard to complain of its ac-
knowledged DEFICIENCIES, and few demands for its
improvement have come to the notice of its pro-
prietors, and though it may have been all they
could afford to make it at the past and existing
exorbitant prices of printing materials and stock
and with its present patronage, yet the proprie
tors have long felt that it is far short of what
leading journal in the commercial and financial
center of the State should be; and that the en-
terprise, the wealth, the public spirit and the
asst increasing population of Portland demand,
and should therefore sustain, such efforts as are
necessary to make paper commensurate with
the growing Importance and commanding posi-
ton of their city.
The business of this city should demand much
more space for its advertisement than her num-
erous merchants and manufacturers have as yet
claimed for its accommodation; while the great va
rlety and Importance of the news of the day-For-
eign and Domestic, Civil and Military -imper-
atiyely calls for more attention than the patron
age actually enjoyed by any paper in the State
would justify bestowing upon it. The Proprie-
tors of the Pass, reposing implicit trust in the
good sense and the hberality of the people of
Maine, and their Willingness to sustain all en-
terprises having for their object the promotion of
our common veal, hope the day is not far dis
tant when they may, with full confidence in sue
