THE FUNDING BILL.-Senator Sherman's
remarks on the necessity OF consolidating a
debt consisting of thirty .or forty different
classes Of securities and covered by twenty
seven laws will command universal assent
The following abstract is all we get, as yet, of
his argument on the more doubtful point of
continued exemption of United States securi-
ties from taxation: .I'
The Secretary doubts bis ability to float
the debt at five per cent. unless he can have
continued exemption for thirty years. The
question now is, whether we will compel him
to issue six per cent. bonds. The Secretary says,
-"If you will relinquish the slight income now
derived from taxable securities, l will be able
to save you one per cent. on the public debt"
1t does not require very shrewd man to see
that this would be good bargain. The Secre-
tary would be compelled to negotiate at six
per cent, ii this bill was not passed.

MoRRILL's CORNER, Westbrook, May y, 1866.
Bros Kelly and Rhodes:
Dear Sirs.-At a meeting of the Independent Re-
formers held Thursday evening" May 10th the follow
ing resolve unanimously adopted
Resolved, That the Independent Reiormers, from oil
deep sense OF gratitude for the great and Impartial
manner in which You advocated our cause, do earn.
esty request your acceptance OF their sincere thanks
Hoping that in all your doings and particularly i'll
advocating the cause OF temperance, you may over
come all the temptations and difficulties that may
surround you, and when God in his providence, calls
you rom the scene of your labors, He will cause
your sou to rest in those regions Of bliss where there
are Joys unspeakabe and ml of glory, are the heart
ieit wishes OF this Society. tHl d.

have been instrumental in the least degree In
arousng the good people of Westbrook to a sense of
their responsibility in the temperance reform in
progress throughout our State.
There is neutral ground to be occupied in this
contest. "Whoeyer is not or US Is against us" is
true to-day as 1t when frs:uttered by our Saw
ior, more than eighteen hundred years ago. be-
lieve the time has fully come, when no man should
be considered either respectable or moral. who d-
rectly or indirectly gives his influence in support OF
the traffic in alcoholic liquors, which has from ume
immemorial brought SO much misery and degrada-
ton upon race.
The work in which we are engaged opens up many
avenues to usefulness, and requires much patience
and perseverance. Let ms sow the seeds broadcast
and although some will fall upon "slony ground, "
some will lodge in good so spring up and bear fruit
a hundred fold to the honor and glory of God.
trusting that the Independent Retormers will be
simulated to renewed activity and zeal in the good
work they have undertaken, and meet with success
tar greater than they possibly anticipate, Is the
sincere desire Of your friend and brother

LAvINIA ROACH In the Circuit Court for Har-
VS.. ford county in ChanCery.
THE object of this suit is TO obtain
4 Decree, d:vorcing the complainant
"a vinculo matrimonii'' from the defend
ant.
The bill states that the complainant
was married to the defendant, on the 18th
day of December, 1851 That she lived
with the defendant until the fall OF 1862,
when the defendant left complainant and
went to Carroll county to live. That the
defendant took the assumed name of Jesse
Ellet, while living in said county, and
some time in the month of February,
1863, he married woman of said coun-
ty, of the name of Mary Jane Harris, and
that said Roach lived with said Mary
Jane Harris for some months in adultery
after said marriage, and that defendant
is nonresident of this State. The
Bill prays for an order of publication
warning said defendant to appear and
answer the Bill /; and in default thereof,
that said Bill be taken pro COM esso against
said defendant, and for other and further
relief.
1t is thereupon, this 9th day of July,
1866, adjudged and ordered, that the
complainant, by causing copy of this
order to be inserted in some newspaper
printed in Hartford county, once a week
in each of four successive weeks, three
months before the second Monday of
November next, give notice to the SAID
defendant ofthe object and substance ofthis
Bill, and warn him to appear in this court,
in person or by solicitor, on or before
the said second Monday of November
next, and show cause, if any he has, why
decree ought not to pass as prayed, and
in default thereof, said Bill shall be taken
pro coatesso against him.
