Miscellaneous Matters,
A New Amendment,

Major General Schenck, Represents.
tive from Ohio, intends at the next
Congress, to propose an amenment to the
constitution of the United States, which
shall place the basis of representation in
Congress on the number of voters and not
on the ratio of population. He said in a
recent speech:
''If no other representative of the PEG.
pie makes the proposition before me, 1
pledge to you my promise that early in
the next Congress 1 will propose this fur.
Their amendment.-That, from this time
forward for all the States alike, the Con-
stitution of the United States shall be so
changed as that representatives shall be
founded upon voters and not upon popula-
tion."
"Maine, by the census of 1860, had
population of 626, $50, and on this popu-
lation was allowed five representatives.
alabama had population of SIG, 461,
just 100000 less than Maine; but had
was allowed under the three ffths rule,
seven members-two more than Maine.
"Vermont had population of 3l4, 1888,
upon which she was allowed three repre-
sentatives.
"South Carolina had population of
29l $4,000 less than Vermont, and
upon that, because of the large number of
her slaves, she was allowed six represen-
tatives-twice as many as Vermont though
has the greatest free white population.
"Pennsylvania with population of e.
349, 2e6, is allowed twenty-four represen-
tatives, while North Carolina, South Car
DINA, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Miss.
and Louisiana, all combined have an ag-
gregate free population Of 2,029,785-
10000 less than Pennsylvania alone-and
yet they are allowed thirty.nine represen-
tatives-ffteen more than the same popu.
lation In free State"

In his speech before the convention of
wool manufacturers at Philadelphia, the
other day, Mr.. Henry c. Carey said that
although the war had cost us three thou
sand million of dollars, it was worth twenty
thousand millions to the nation. No doubt
of it. 1t has assured our industrial indie
pendence. We shall soon be producing
within our own limits every article of hu-
man consumption of which our climates
admit the production. Most probably We
should have arrived at that condition at
any rate in the conrse of a couple of centu-
ries or SO, but the incidental protection to
American industry which results from the
great cost of suppressing the rebellion will
Immediately bring about that desirable
state of things. Among the compensa.
lions which Providence disconnected with
the war, this is by no means the least.

Miss Kings Readings.

The charming and admirable readings Of
Miss King recently in the City Hall, were re.
ceived with great delight by the audience, and
desire to hear her again has been generally
expressed. Our readers will be glad to learn
that this desire will be gratiaed. The Martha
Washington Society have engaged her SER
vices for Wednesday evening April 9TH, at
the City Hall, and we have no doubt she will
Command an overlooking house.
We do not deem it necessary to remind our
readers that this lady is sister of Starr King,
aud partakes largely of her noble brothers
spirit and genius. She is sufficient of herself,
and needs no aid from mere names.
In addition 10 the rare pleasure of hearing
her, is the satisfaction that every ticket pur
chased will aid the funds OF one of the most
useful societies in Portland.
The programme will be announced in few

SPoILs.-Lieut. Henry G.. Mitchell, former.
lyof our Police Department. now of the 31st
Maine, who returned home last Monday a fter
confinement Of seven and a half months in
rebel prisons, called on us yesterday and ex-
hibited some of the ''spoils of war" Among
them was a confederate bond for $1,000. with
coupons drawing eight per cent interest,
coupons payable in January aud July, princi.
pal to be paid in 1868, provided the Confeder-
ate States do not extend the time of payment.
He also had confederate bills of the denomin-
ations Of $50, $25 and SIS, and State and city
script from FIVE cents up to fifty.
The bond was obtained from a rebel pay
master, two of whom were captured by some
Of our foragers in Sherman's army, upon whom
were found about four millions of confederate
money, which was divided among the soldiers.
The soldiers were very liberal in distributing
this spoil among the poor Southern people,
especially the women. They would go into
house and if the occupants appeared to be in
destitute condition, our soldiers would shell
out from $500 to $4,000 of the stuff, as cir
cumstances dictated. Thus in short time
the greater portion of thu 100000 which
fell among the soldiers was distributed all
over South Carolina.
In the prisons in which Lieut.. Mitchell was
confined, the rebel keepers, by order of their
government, would allow seven dollars con-
federate money for one In greenbacks, thus
showing how worthless they considered their
own money.
The bonds are decently got up, but the bills
and script are awful The latter are printed
on anything in the shape of paper that could
be got at. Some of them are printed on old
bank bills cut in parts, room paper and any
thing else.

OLD WELLS REDEEMED. The annual
town meeting took place in Wells on Wednee-
day. Notwithstanding the bad state of the
roads there was very large attendance, and
the result was that the Union men elected
their entire ticket by majorities ranging from
SO to 40 in vote of 537. 1t is the first time
within recollection that the Democrats have
not either carried all, or portion of the Off
ces. Last fall there was majority of 80 for
the Democratic candidate for Governor.
The negro, who was not allowed to vote in
this town last year by the Democratic Select
men, came up at this election. His vote was
refused for Moderator by the Democratic pre-
sizing officer As soon as Mr. Goodwin was
elected Moderator and had assumed the duties,
the negro was allowed to vote for all the other
town officers. s5fsss.. +a
d Inc following are the officers elected:
For Moderator, George Goodwin Town
Clerk, Joseph Curtis Selectmen and Asses
