the several lodges in this city of their color

working under charters freely accorded to
them by the Grand Lodge of Hamburg, on
the ground that the black man has no status

As 8 matter of justice to Treasurer
Dorsey, we print in another column the es-
sential parts of his defense against the Re-
port of the Special Examiners in reference
TO his violation of the State Treasury Law.
In our opinion Mr. Dorsey's statement
does not help his case in the least. In
It he does not deny that he has violated
the law, nor that the facts alleged by the
Examiners Report are not as stated there
in. He only attempts to prove that the
Treasury has suffered no loss from his
management of it and that other officials,
as well as he have failed to live up to the
law. Nobody has denied these facts, and
unless Nh. Dorsey could have said more
than this in his own behalf he had better
have kept silent.
Mr.. Odlin has published q response 70
the Tressurers Statement, which We do
not publish, inasmuch as it sheds no new
light on the subject but merely discusses
the bearing offscts already before the pub
lie.
Meantime the vacant Trsasuryship
is going a-begging. The position was ten
dered, on Tuesday, to John Z. Finn, Esq,
eff Elyris, formerly connected with the
Stats Bank, and for q short period Cashier
of the First National Bank of this city,
but was declined. 1t has been rendered to
several Of the best fnanciers in the state,
but q very natural reluctance is tet to as
sumo the delicate duties which it involves.
The Treasurer's Office is still closed
and the financial affairs of the State are at
a standstiIl. Mr.. Dorsey retains possession
of y portion of the key to his safe, and the
Governor Of the other, so that no person
can obtain access to the funds. II ia ssid
that Mr.. Dorsey in4-Hds to test the Vaildl-

The State OF Maine has responded glo-
riously to Vermont. The returns from
the State are incomplete, but they show
an increased Union majority IN spite of a
falling off IN the popular vOte. The latest
returns show q total of ninety.nine towns,
which gave Ony Urionl 22,421, Howard
(Democrat) 1866; against last year Oony
2s,lO4, Howard l9,lO7. The Union ma
jority so far is 1O,656, a gain since last year
of 1,65O. The Union majority will prob
ably exceed 10000 on the bone vote
against 1922 in 1864. Had a full vote
been pOlled and the Union gain been in
the same ratio, the majority would be fully
5000. The State psnsTeI unnnimously
Union and the Unionists have gained sev-
eral N the lower house.
This triumph is Unexpectedly sweeping,
a nd fills us with new hope for the future.
] he willy Democracy Of Maine, like their
b rethreD in New York, did everything pos
s ible to conciliate the people and induce 8
-forgetfulness of their past disloyalty by loud-
mouthed promises of good conduct in the
future. They Endorsed President johnson,
they declared slavery dead, they came over,
horse, foot and dragons, to the Republican
platform, and strove to make the people
believe that they had stood upon it longer
than the Republicans themselves. But
the election has taught them to perceive
9 new meaning in Moore's lines:
''YOu may break, you may ruin the vase if ycu
will,
But the scent Of The roses win hang round 1t stil.,
The scent of ~disloyalty still hung around
them, and the people of Maine refused to
tr,zst their promises of reform. They re-
bulVed them by q msiority even more over
whslming than that of q year ago.
So, we have faith to believe, it will be
throughout the North. Everywhere the
Democracy are making q herculesn effort
to obliterste their record of treason, and
make the people believe that they are the
true Union party. Bat we put faith in
the common sense of the common nAcPlo 10
perceive the falsity of these pretenseS, and
to rebuke them at the polls.

The people of this Territory have adopt
ed the constitution proposed by the late
convention. The organic law appears to
follow the constitutions of the free States
in all leading features. The legislature, on
its organization, is to consist of thirteen
senators and twenty-six members of the
lower house. This number is to be in
creased as circumstances may require after
1870, to thirty and seventy-eight for each
branch, respectively, which extent of re-
presentation Is the maximum. Tbs Gov
errors sslaryis fixed st $4,000 per year,
that Of the Secretary of State at 81, 500
and the Treasurer's at $1,000.
It is anticipated that the people will
ratify the proceedings, and that an sppli-
cation for the admission of the Territory
into the sistsrhood of States will be made

stration gotten up by the citizens of San
Francisco, upon learning his arrival at the
Occidental Hotel. From the description
given in the Alta C~aIfornian, we imagine
that it must have been a grand affair. It
was composed of the civil and military au-
thorities of the city and State. The Cen
eral was introduced by Chief Justice Tur-
ner, OF Nevada, in 8 speech recounting his
heroic deeds, after which the General ad-
dressed the immense concourse in his usual
quiet and modest manner, taking grounds
in favor of recognizing only republican
governments on the western continent
from Mexico to Patagonia, II is stated
that the sentiments of the speech were re-
ceived with unbounded applause. AS one
