MOB IN PoRTsMoUrH.-The States and
Union office in Portsmouth was destroyed by
alawless mob on Monday last, in spite of the
efforts of the police to preserve the peace.
A crowd collected in front of the Office and
requested the editor to display the stars
and stripes, as it was known he had flag in
the office. He declined, when threatening
demonstrations were made and he complied,
but he did it with such apparent reluctance
and i'll grace that the crowd demanded a
speech. Phis was promised by his friend if
they would be patient, but instead of redeem
ing his friends pledge, the editor-Mr. Fos-
ter-gathered up his books, and escaped by
back way.
When the crowd found out that he was
gone, they became insane with. passion and
bad liquor, apd entered and demolished the
office. The paper was an intensely offensive
one to all loyal men, but this affords no excuse
for lawlessness and violence. Says the Chron-
icle, from which we gather the facts, eve
hardly know which to regard as the deeper
disgrace--ths publication of such g sheet as

Negro Suffrage-Again

negro 0uHrage-Agalns
Mr.. EDITOR: was gratif1ed to see the ar
ticle of your correspondent on this subject
in your paper. In my judgment, it is abso-
lutely necessary to enfranchse the negro and
the man of mixed color in the rebel States
when restored to the Union, on the same con-
ditions as the white man. This is necessary for
| the safety of the State. For the moment. with
your correspondent, I waive the considera-
ton OF justice, and place The matter wholly
| upon the ground of safety to the country.
I wish to present one consideration omitted
by your correspondent. When the States are
recognized. no doubt large majority OF the
white men who will take the oath of allegi-
ance, will do IL with mental reservations, and
remain hostile to the Union. That is the way
we find it in Louisiana. Most of the white
men who have taken the oath of allegiance,
have done 1t from sinister motives; while the
great body of the whites are still in open re-
bel ion. II the negro is not enfranehsed, all
the rebellious States, though restored to the
Union, / fear will remain hostile to universal
liberty, the principle on which our govern
ment rests, aud viii restore slavery.
They may do this under the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution, XIII.
Under the fifth amendment to the Constitu-
ton, slavery was already prohibited if 1t had
received construction favorable to liberty
| Only look al 1t: "No person shall be deprived
OF liberty without due process of law" In
the face of this provision men were reduced
to slavery, not only in the States but in the
territories and in the District of Columbia,
Without any process Of lao.
The proposed 18th amendment allows men
and women to be reduced to slavery for crime.
Lock at it:
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude,
except as a punishment for crime, whereof
the party shall have been duly convicted,
shall exit within the United States or any
place subject to their Jurisdiction"
The fact that this amendment allows the es-
tablishment OF slavery as punishment for crime,
wss called to the attention of Mr.Ashley. Such
men as Mr.. Sumner and Mr.. Ashley were not
satisfied with the amendment. But Mr. Ashley
found he could not carry an amendment alb
solutely excluding slavery; so he consented
to the amendment in its present form. There
were men who voted for the amendment as 1t
is, because it will allow the re- establishment
of slavery for crime. No doubt brutal men,
who have in times past prosecuted fugitive
slaves for stealing the clothing on their backs,
can easily trump up crimes for the purpose of
reducing colored men to slavery. And we
think unless the right of suffrage is given to
the colored men and the blacks, there is dan.
ger that slavery will be restored in all the reb-
ell States, and our country involved in series
of misfortunes, against which we should now
provide. J. C. w.

Letter from Western Maine.
PoRTER, April 9Th, 1865.

FORTER, Aprll ON, 1000.
To the Editor Of the Press;
Rejoice, rejoice, the promised time has
coms-Rchmond has fallen and this He'll
born and Hel-bound" rebellion is in its death
struggle! The happy event thrills the hearts
of all loyal people with deep emotions of joy
and thankiulness. When, on Tuesday, the
news came OF the fall of the rebel Capitol the
joy and surprise of everybody was great
Although we have been watching and wait
ing so loug for its fall, when the news came at
last complete surprise it was-but the sur
prise was a very pleasant one. The good
people OF Porter manifested their JOY in very
quiet ana appropriate manner bysexchanging
congratulations, displaying flags, smiling faces
and small display of fireworks in the even
ing. At Kezar Falls flag was raised, salutes
fired, speeches made and much rejoicing, on
Wednesday, SO we are informed. kphraim
Wentworth, OF this town, a.deserter from the
10th, Maine Regiment, we think, was arrested
a few weeks since in an interior Town III Penn
sylvania where, under an assumed name he
had lived more than TWO years without de-
lection, having deserted at the battle Of
Antietam. His family had resided here, until
within short period of time, wnen they sud
denly set out to meet Ephraim in the promis-
ed land as was believe; and SO detectives were
accordingly put on their track and the hiding
PLACE of Wentworth was at last discovered.
Porteris to have q Dolly mail established and
the contraction carrying the mail viii be given,
we think, to l.. D. and NJ. Stanley, who have
made applications fer it. They are both gen.
tlemen of experience in the business, the for
mer having carried the mail on this route for
the past four years to the entire satisfaction
of all concernedy and both are well-known 10
the public. 1t is to be hoped that much good
will retult to our people from daily commu-
nication with Portland. Fne Daily Press
should, and, we doubt not, will have large
circulation through this section OF country,
when daily communication is fairly establish
ed between this part of our State and the
Forest City.
1t is with deep regret that we announce the
death OF our patriotic and esteemed fellow
townsman, John NJ Libby, Esq, who died at
his residence in this town recently, after
long and painful illness, which he bore with
Christian patience and fortitude. He leaves
wife and several children. He was a sub
scrber to the Press.
The sugar making season is over. The
great expecta ions that were entertained of
large flow of sap, have not been realized
The snow vent of SO suddenly, and the frost
came out of the ground so rapidly that all
hopes of large crop of sugar were entirely
destroyed. The amount secured will proba-
bly, fall short nearly one half the usual crop of
former seasons. RUSTIC.

New YORK. April IL.
The Worlds Washington dispatch says it
was reported last night that Johnston had
surrendered on the same terms granted to
Lee.
The Tribune's dispatch says Secretary Sew
ards injuries have assumed serious charac-

medical men fear that owing to his inability to
take solid food, he cannot repair the waste of
his vitality in time to meet the heats of the
coming warm weather.

Petersburg evacuated, Richmond captured,

All this big dish cooked up in one week

head level, got little off his equilibrium, to
judge by the heading of the first extras issued

"LEE SURRENDERED GLoRIoUs News!
SuGrenner! Surrender"
Now if these last two words had not been
drinking, their looks belied them amazingly.
II they were not drunk, they were surely set
up by something with stick In it..
All kinds of rumors were afloat last night.
One man affirmed that gold was below par,
while another wild individual circulated the
story that Fourth of July had resigned in ia
vor of the Ninth of April.
Grant has made Lee surrender, but that is
lot all. In getting him and his army, he has
by some piece of strategy captured every Cop
perhead in Portland. There is not one
here; all are loyal to the core, on and after
April oh.
Gen. Lee some time since made the state
ment that he was soon to do something that
would astonish the world. Well, he has done
1t now, and no mistake; and we cannot help
thinking but that he was as much astonished
as the rest of mankind.
JEFF. is at present on the wing. We seem to
see him sitting in his buggy, with 100000 in
gold tied up in a handkerchief and placed Sc
curely under the seat. We seem to hear him
sing the following ditty to the familiar tune of
