The Portland daily press., 1866-08-28

We publish this morning communication
touching the matter of a park, which our read
ers will doubtless peruse with interest All
will agree with the writer, that the first thing
to be attended to is the widening of streets;
the necessities OF business have the first claim.
Whether the park will contribute to the res
toration Of the town by the enhanced attrac-
tiveness and value of the adjacent lots, wheth-
er it will draw back the householders who
shrink from rebuilding in the midst OF the
waste of ruins, whether it will directly aug
ment the valuation of the city SO as to light
en- in some degree the burden of taxation in
other quarters-are considerations which are
entitled to some weight and have apparently
proved satisfactory to the City Government.
As for the legal argument, it is to be supposed
that the authorities have taken competent le-
gal advice in the premises and know what
they are about.

Temperance Convention.

The friends of Temperance in this county
are again reminded that the County Temper
ance Association will meet at West Baldwin,
on Thursday next, Both inst, at ten o'clock in
the forenoon. Some of the earliest and most
earnest advocates of the cause will be present
and address the convention. There will also
be appropriate music on the occasion
We are requested to express the hope that
the people of Baldwin and surrounding towns
will attend this meeting in large numbers
Let every friend of Temperance speak to his
neighbor and see that, if possible, he be pres
emit. There has seldom been more need of de-
votion to the cause and zeal in its promotion
than now
The Portland daily press., 1866-08-28

MR.. EDITOR: perceive by the papers that
the constituted authorities have proposed to
buy land in the burnt district to devote to the
purposes of PARK. Now this would be a yerv
nice thing ifevery man, woman and child would
consent to it; but in the present condition of
our finances, with the heavy burden that press
es upon our tax payers, it would not be .iudici-
GUS to adopt any such measure, or expend
dollar for needless expense, or for ornamental
purposes Many of our wealthy citizens signed
a petition requesting the City Government to
be liberal, but they did not anticipate that the
Government would exercise their liberality in
buying commons, or line of steamers to HAY
re, or wooden mill. 1t was expected that
they would be liberal in widening narrow
streets and Strengthening crooked ones; thus
their liberality would be founded on the pres
ent and future necessities of the city.
But there is a potent reason which strikes at
the root of the whole matter. The City Gov
eminent of Portland has no legal right to
spend a dollar, or pledge the credit of the city
for any such purposes. The Supreme Court of
this State has already settled the law involved
in this matter, in the case of a citizen of Bos-
ton (who owned property in Bangor) against
the city of Bangor. The City Government has
jurisdiction for the purpose Of raising money
for schools, supporting the poor repairing
streets, taking land for new streets or widening
them, police establishment, city courts of JUS
tice and such other matters, as come within
the objects of corporation, like town or city;
but when the authorities undertake to go be-
yond, and either pay money, or pledge the
credit of the citizens, they travel out of their
| jurisdiction and all their acts become illegal
| and void. Even should the question whether
| the city authorities should buy common, be
submitted to vote of the citizens and major
| ity of our citizens should so authorize them,
| still, the whole proceeding would be null and
cold, because the majority has no Jurisdiction.
A majority can only bind a minority when the
majority has jurisdiction of authority This
very point was settled in the case referred to.
I have no doubt that the tax payers present
and future of this city will find their taxes as
heavy as they can bear without going into fancy
| expenses. Another reason why no such expen-
diture should be thought of is, that it would
render the collection of taxes illegal R.

Contradictory Views of the Presidents
CharacfeP.r


v Character. --,-r
If the views of any man or party, respect
ing the character of Andrew johnson, can
change more rapidly than the President him
self changes his purposes and opinions, that
man or that party is entitled to the credit at
least Of extraordinary agility. We published
Saturday a paragraph purporting TO come
from the Argus of March 10, 1865, and speak
ing Of Mr.. Johnson in no complimentary
terms. The paragraph was handed in for pub
LEGATION by a man who declares he copied it
| from the Argus at the time when it appeared
and believes it to have been published as edi-
torial on the date given. The date turns out
to be on Sunday, and the Argus attributes the
article to the New York Commercial Adver-
| tiser 1t is quite possible that mistake was
made; our files of the Argus were premature
ly consumed the other day, and we have hith-
verifcation of the quotation was impossible.
But what then! It is surely unnecessary
to 60 to the files of the Argus for proof of its
hostility to the Andrew johnson of 1864! We
had supposed it was well understood that the
Argus did not advocate the election of Lin
coin and johnson. For the Press, we have
| no hesitation in saying that it did most earn
estly devote it. whole influence to the sup
port of the men nominated by the Baltimore
convention. True, Mr.. johnson was not
statesman; but nobody foresaw his elevation
to the Presidency. He was, as we said then,
zone of the most remarkable men of the age.'
We have never denied the extraordinary
| force of will and intellectual power, which
have raised Mr.. johnson in the face of many
disadvantages to the place he occupied in the
Senate Of the United States. That his mind
is harrow as wei. as intense, that his percep-
tons are inadequate as well as quick, that his
temper and character have been sadly warped
and strained by the adverse circumstances of
his life, are mere statements Of fact, as I'M
| happily every body knows since his defects
| have been exposed in the high position to
which he has been unfortunately called What
we have said about MI. johnson we stand by,
either to insist upon its truth or confess its
error, as time shall confirm or confute it,

Letter from West Buxton.
BUSINESS, CROPS, POLITICS, ETC.

BUSINESS, CROPS, POLITICS, ETC.
WEST BUXTON, MAINE, Aug. "A.
To THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS:
"Some things are done, and others are do
ing" is a favorite remark of yankee L."
That is emphatically the case in this locality
Since have been a resident of this town. l
have never seen a communication in any pa
per, giving the general news, &C., of this sec
ton. Therefore would request space in the
columns of your really valuable paper for this
purpose.
Doubtless the readers of the Press will re-
member hearing about the fire in Moderation
village last autumn; a fire which, considering
the size of the two places, was full as de-
structive as that which has laid the Forest
City in ruins. Nearly the entire business
portion OF the village was destroyed The
work of rebuilding, however, has gone on in a
manner far from moderate. Our enterprising
townsman, A. X. P. Lord, ESQ.,, the heaviest
loser by the fire. has rebuilt his mills, and dali
ly turns out large amount of manufactured
lumber, principally sugar boxes and heading.
Mr.. L. is also building fine large house and
| stable in place of those destroyed. Mr.. Bry-
ant has replaced his store with o much better
building. A fine covered bridge has been
built, and other Improvements made The
West Buxton Manufacturing Company still
continue their business, and give employment
to quite number of operatives. Some addi-
lions have recently been made to their mill,
and new brick building is going up soon.-
fhis company was doing fine business, and
we hope to see them fully established again
ere long. Oliver Tracy, ESQ.,, has laid the foun-
dation of new wooden factory, on Hollis side
OF the river; we have no fears but that he will
succeed.
The travelling public are accommodated by
Winthrop Pease, Esq, where good food, and
plenty of it, and good beds, and in fact. the
comforts of a home, are to be found.
The new steamer Enterprise, Capt Rideo ut.
which has been built to run between Bar
Mills and Moderation, is making regular trips
now. 1t connects with every train to and from
Portland. A steamboat ON Saco river creates
considerable excitement and speculation as to
whether it will pay or not; the indications are
that it will. Our business men, generally, hail
the advent of the Enterprise with joy, for be-
sues making it much more convenient for
cnose DESTROYS of visiting Portland, it carries
=, e'sh' cheaper than it can be hauled by teams.
o'S'ers srowl little, but we hope they will
s'op growing and attend to the cultivation of
'helr farms-1. change greatly needed.
Inc nay crop was small, about one half the
usual yield; but what there is is of an e+ro ,,al
ity. Grain comes in quite fair; corn. notatoes
&c. look unusually promising. Shouid tbere
be no frost to injure it, 1 think the corn cro,,
will be better in this town than before for wears
l have seen no signs of rust on potatoes as VET
ana hear no complaints of the rot
AS the time for the fall elections draws near
considerable interest and some excitement is
