STEAMBOAT FOR UNION RIVER. We
learn on undoubted authority that the mer-
chants and others, of Portland, have SUBJ
scribed $1,000 towards the fund required to
place 4 suitable boat for the business, on
Union River. to run from Ellsworth, to
connect with tire City of Richmond. One
citizen Of Ellsworth. who happeaed TO be
at Machias last week, pledged himself for
$1,000 more. We understand that boat,
just the kind wanted to accommodate the
freight and passenger business on that
River, is now in the market and can be
had for about $4,000. We hope the ira.
ders and business men Of Ellsworth, will
at once provide the remaining few thous-
ands wanted, and we have no doubt they
will. when the plan is fully developed to
them by practical and experienced busi.
ness man, as it will be during the present
week.
Including Ellsworth, the towns adioin,
ing and neighboring, there is population
of ten thousand to be directly benefited by
the consummatiOn of the plan. BY all
means let it be done. 1t will give renewed
life and activity to the business interests OF

ment seems that Mr.. McCulloch's success
as a politician is not such as to inspire Ell

He is understood to have sent for Mr.. De-
Iano, to-day, and, after thanking him for
his attempted defense of him yesterday, re-
quested that he (Delano) would set him
right before the House tomorrow. The
Secretary claims that his position as to
making appointments of only such as were
pledged to the Presidents reconstruction
policy has been misrepresented, and Mr..
Delano is expected to define the Treasur-
er's position in the House to-morrtw.
Assistant Secretary Fox leaves our shores
in his monitor during the present week.
Senator Stewart has matured a new con-
stitutiOnal measure. which he hopes may
find acceptance and be adopted in lieu Of
section third of the Reconstruction Com
mittee's report. He proposes, first, a gen.
eral disfranchisement OF all the ringleaders
of the rebellion; such as have been in Con-
gress, held Federal office, or who left the
Army or Navy; second, wherever in any
State, the elective franchise is curtailed on

will Mr.. Il. inform the rcadeIs of the
American whether Meadow hay or barley
straw was the principle feed, and if the
sheep were kept housed or had the liberty
of his moving field during the winter?-
Also what was the average weight of wash

Mr.. Editor Last week I noticed that
a pair of new and unknown birds were des-
trcying my bees they would fly into the
bee house and alight on the bee hives and
dcvour the bees ss they came out Of the
hives. This is the first instance have
known of birds destroying bees except oc-
casionally that Martins will catch them on
the wing. After watching them for while
and finding they were killing bees by the
dozens l concluded to satiate their vora-
cious appetites by treating them to a dish

they resemble the Kingbrd but differ very
much in their movements.

WASHINGTON, May ~.
Another Senatorial caucus was held TO-.
day, when it was determined to strike out
the third section of the Constitutional
Amendment disfranchising rebels. A Sem
ator stated that if this was done the Presid-
ent would approve of the rest Of the recon-
struction plan.
WASHINGTON, May %.
The Indications now are that at the SEN
atorial caucus tomorrow Senator Sher-
mans proposition to base representation on
the voting population will be adopted in
lieu of the second and third sections Of the
Constitutional amendment now pendin in
the Senate. Especial to the Boston Herald.
NEW YORK, May %.
At the session of the North Carolina
State Convention yesterday. an ordinance
was introduced granting amnesty to all
pensioners except those guilty of criminal
felonies prior to May 1, 1865.
While discussing the question, Mr.. Col
diville of Burke county, stated that bills Of
indictment against persons who had been
in the rebel army were quasheG by Grand
Jury which has, on the commission of the
slightest offence, prosecuted Union men to
the bitter end.
The whole subject was finally referred
to a special committee.
New YORK. May %.
The Herald's Washington dispatch says:
At the Republican caucns of Senators
yesterday the whole matter of reconstruc-
tion was referred to the Senatorial portion
Of the Reconstruction Committee.
The Trbune's despatch says:
Whatever is determined upon will re-
ceive the united support Of all the Repub-
lican members. and the general outlines Of
what is believed will prove an acceptable
substitute for the report of the Reconstruct
ion Committee has been determined upon.
Other specials say the Senate Finance
Committee is reported to be unable to agree
upon recommending either Messrs. Sher-
mans or Fessenden's Bank bill, and to
have referred the matter to the sub commit
tee, which is now considering the propricty
of bringing in a bill embodying substantial
