PRESIDENT AND sEMMEs.

II is stated that the President is about to
issue a proclamation explanatory OF his Peace
Proclamation, declaring that the latter did IN
fact suspend martial law and restore the civil
law throughout the South. II martial law
does not exist at the South, It would be in
tcrcsting to learn by what authority the Presi.
dent orders Major General Woods to forbid
Raphael Semmes from acting in the office of
Probate Judge ut Mobile, to which the ardent
supporters Of the Presidents policy elected
him.
Scnmcs has been convicted Of no crime,
and under the Presidents reign he can be
convicted Of none. Every man until convict
ed Of crime, is presumed to be innocent.
Moreover, on the Presidents theory, the
members elect of Congress from Alabama
have the same right to sit in Congrass as the
members Of Illinois. Why, then. has not the
President the same right. upon his own the.
ory, to forbid Mayor Of Chicago from en-.
,ering upon his office rs Probate Judge OF
Mobile?
The truth Is, the President has shown no
moro regard for State laws, or the rights OF
the so-called States which Inc has created,
than Congress would show IL they abolished
them altogether. His within Is their law. In
the case of Semmcs, they had veutured to
elect to Office pirate whom the President
had released, and thereby virtually, but not
technically parsioned. The great al" had
not been consulted, therefore il was void. Is
il not time that all offices but thur of Presi-
dent wcro abolished, and he for convenience,
were styled Emperor, Sutton, Tycoon, or
Czar.-Cxioago Tribune.

PORTLAND, july 4th, 5 o'clock, p. NJ.
About halfpast three o'clock fire was
discovered in boat house on Commercial
street near Browns Sugar Refinery, and be.
fore it could be subdued, it had got such
Roadway in the wooden buildings and lum-
Der near, that all efforts to extinguish Il were
useless. A terrible wind was and is blowing,
and the Sugar Refinery must 60. The wind
is blowing in the direction Of the new City
Building. and nothing but an interposition of
Providence Gun save the city.
LATER.-MlpMaHr.
The fire is still rigging and all help is in
vain to stay the devouring element. The
reservoirs gave out about 0 o'clock, and the
tide was long since out But all the engines
can do is to fight along the edges. 1t is burn
ing track about quarter Of mile wide
from the foot Of Free street up to the United
States Hotel. It is advancing rapidly and
will not stay until it reaches Back Cove.
Burning cindcs are being hurled to all parts
of the city lying in the direction of the wind,
while the heat for one hundred rods OH either
side of the swath of fire is intense. never
before realized the bible description Of hell
ga lake of fire, land all description to por
tray its horrors is utterly inadequate. Build
ings remote from the track arc constantly
catching fire, and several have burned. En-
gincs have arrived from the neighboring cities
and towns, but they can do no good save to be
stationed throughout the city to save houses
newly on fire. An Irish woman and four
children were burned to death in the early
progress Of the flames. but ! cannot learn that
any others have lost their lives, though several
have been injured.
LATER O'clock THURSDAY A. M.
Fox block, all of Exchange street, all Of
Middle save few stores, all of Fcdcral'to the
Elm House, the new City Building, Woods
Hotel, the upper stories of the Custom House,

the flames IRE beyond rushing to the water.
Aided to the great gale the awful heat creates
hurricane which is blowing the flames like
u tornado. Seven churches have been burn.

they may come to light again. All of the
banks, newspaper and printing officers arc dc

LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE FROM GEN.
CHAMBERLAIN.
BRuyswIcK, June &C, 1866.

BRUNSWICK, June ~, io0O.
Hos. A. G. JEwsrr, President, &c:
Sir: have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt Of your communication ofthe Odd inst,
informing me Of my nomination rs candidate
for Governor Of Maine by the Union Republi.
can Convention, lately holden ut Bangor, and
transmitting a copy Of the resolutions there
adopted.
The issue now before us is well defined.
By the recent war a step has been taken in our
history. No new principles have been adopt.
cd or assumed, but the doctrines which were
announced as the foundation Of tiiis Govern
ment, have made progress as living powers,
and now demand to be more distinctly en-
bodied in our institutions, and applied to prac.
teal affairs. We must secure ourselves in
this advanced position. We cannot now 20
back to gather up the fragments Of the "Un-
ion as il was; we must recognize the nation
as il is. and make the Constitution what it
should be. The constitutional amendment
recently proposed to the country by the two
Houses Of Congress, is a stepin this direction.
The position Of the Union majority in Con-
gress upon the questions Of reconstruction as
surcs us that the cause Of human rights is safe
in their hands. Above all, the hearts Of the
people are in earnest in this matter, and they
mean that no step shall be taken backward.
This is no innovation; it is but carrying
forward to their completion the ideas and in
tcntions Of the Fathers. Theirs rs well rs
ours is the motto we emblazon on our banner;
equal civil and political rights to all men.
This understand to be the spirit Of your
resolutions, and these receive my most cordial
concurrence and support.
Dis,rustfdl as must be Of my ,intricd ca.
pacities in the line Of duty to which you
would call me, | am treasured by the cxtraor-
binary compliment of your choice, and the
pledge of your cordial support. Recognizing
in your action generous regard for those in
whose suflerings and sacrifices for their Coun.
try and for Right my own small share is per-
haps the chief claim to your consideration,
and unwilling to withhold my services if need
ed in the same great cause, accept the nom
ination you have done me the distinguished
honor to tender.
am, with high respect,
Your Obt servant,

RUsSIA'S THREAT.

The actual outbreak Of the war in Europe
has not probably startled the public mind of
this country so much rs Prince Gortchakof's
declaration that, upon the slightest violation
Of neutrality by France, Russia also would
abandon her present neutral attitude. This.
rs il by lightning fash, gives US a glimpse
Of other combatants standing behind those
who have opened the war, and ready to inn
part an immense enlargement to its area.
For, let us consider a moment what such a
declaration implies. Gorchakoff is veteran
statesman and diplomatist, who, neither by
habit nor by his position Us Prime Minister OF
Russia, is likely to drop any public expression
without giving due weight to his words. He
implies. then, that he suspects France Of a
design to drop the mask Of neutrality at any
favorable moment, for his words carry stig.
ma which hewouli be the last to apply to any
power like England or Spain that has given
Secondly, he implies that Russia is really to
enter the arena as the antagonist of France,
because his declaration is virtual challenge,
which he 10 too shrcwd to issue il Russia
were behind France in point Of preparation.
Confirmation Of this view has been present.
ed in the rimors Of a secret alliance between
Russia and Austria in recent visits between
the capitals Of the two empires by the Qncen
Of Wurtcmburg, and her significant reception
ut the two courts; and even in the re1narka-
bic composurc with which Austria is reported
in our last dispatches to have received the
hostile nvasions Of Prussia and Italy. IL
these indications should be realized, we may
soon see Russia, Austria and Turkey in battle
array agains, Prussia, France and italy-the
East against the West Of Continental Europe.
The ministerial crisis in England just at this
moment even raises the suggestion that To-
~ ministry might form an alliance with the
Ans,ro-lRussian side; but there is no reason
to believe that the people Of England would
endure that. Great Britain will probably
keep clear Of the affruy. II will be gigantic
enough and bloody enough without her. 4,
will change the map Of Europe and give a
new life to the social and political energies of
the people, which We cannot but trust will be-
beneficial on the whole. Boston Jour.

JOINING THE JOHNSON CLUB.

A clever and patriotic man, who served
faithfully in the Union army, inquired of us a
few days ugo to know what this handing OF
papers around for signatures to the Johnson
Club meant. and if we intended to join? We
answer that il means the organization OF a
new Southern Rebel Democratic Party to make
war upon the National Union Party in the
next Presidential race, and this Is what it will
lead to and where Il will end. There will be
but two parties in this country, let the several
organizations profess what they will-the Un-
ION party and the Rebel party. We shall not
Join johnson club because we belong to the
great National Union Party, We shall not
Join one Of these Clubs, because we stand by
Congress, and don't intend to commit our.
selves against that body Of firm, tried and true
Union men. We shall not join one of these
Clubs, because we don't intend to commit
ourselves against the candidate Of the True
Union Party for the Presidency in 1868. We
will not Join one Of these Clubs, because when
another rebellion is brought on, rs 1t will be
in few years, we don't intend to be forced
to hunt up proof to show that we were on the
side Of the Federal Government We shall
not Join one Of these Clubs, because we don't
intend to make our bed with the Democracy,
and with the new recruits from the Union
forces. This is, however, n free thing, and
gentlemen can join any Club they fancy II
was free thing five years ago, when men
were urged to Join the Confederacy. We 10.
fused then, and We refuse now, because we
GO with the undivided National Republican
party, that fought the war, stood by the army
Of The Union, and voted men and money to
put down the late Southern Democratic irar.
II living. we intend to support their ticket for
President and Vice President; and IL dead,
we wish our record TO show that when the
Southern Rebels captured Johnson they did
not capture us with him! We need not be
told that the new Johnson party are using an
abundance of money and patronage. All
men must now take sides with the party OF
PATRIOTISM or the party of the spells, and we
20 with the former. We stand by the party
Of the country, il we stand alone in Tennes'
see. We can neither be coaxed, flattered.
abused, bribcd or frightened into the ranks OF
the rebels, no matter by what name they call
emselves-Knorrilie Whig.
