yTNHE Ladies OF the Executive Committee of the
l. SOLDIERS FAIR, to commence on the 23d OF
April, at City Hall, present appeal to the Mer-
chants of Portland to aid them in the enterprise in
which they have enlisted. They ask it with the thor
Ough understanding OF how literally and constantly
you have given during the last five years. and OF how
freely you respond at all times to the needs of the
suffering.
Conscious that the class for whom we now labor
have not been uncared for previous to the close of the
war, but that the City, as o Governments has done
what it could, and private charity has bestowed its
aleviations, yet have they sometimes been reduced
to extremites such we do not want our soldiers
families to suffer. We hope through the concert of
sympathy and action for these poor, that they NAV
eventually be aided into comfortable maintenance
of themselves; therefore we ask your kind benevo-
lence. IN tG- etfI.54' q l7-f,7-o''N

dlse ana see what you can willingly give to We
shall be grateful for whatever you may send The ar

tits dangerous to NEEDLE with edge tools,
unless you know how to use them. President
Johnson's business, during the greater part of
his life, has been the ordinary work of an Amer
lean politician. He is profoundly versed in all
that needs to be known respecting American
political institutions, such as the caucus and
the stump. 1t would pei aps be better for him
and for the country, if the political history of
other ages and countries were not for him a
sealed book. Iuasmuch, however, as the Cir
cumstances of his busy life have precluded the
possibility of acquiring those larger views, it
would be wiser and safer for the President not

The President and the oolored Men.

When President johnson was called upon,
on the occasion of the celebration of Emanci-
patton in the District of Columbia, to make a
speech to a delegation of colored men, he
plainly labored under considerable degree of
embarrassment. Considering his original
promise to them to enact the character of their
Moses, and his final substitution for that part
of the role of Pharaoh, it could hardly be ex-
pected that he should not feel degree of awk-
wardness in meeting those whose interests
have been SO deeply affected by his change of
programme. However, as soon as his Excel
lency got to talking about himself he did very
well. That is theme upon which he can al
ways be eloquent. Its true, he seems in the
following passage to have got his ideas little
mixed, but then we have no doubt it is all
right: m lT 4i' eylos aga8 I
It has been a principle with me, and thank
God that the great principle has been estab-
llshed, that whenever any Individual, in the
language Of distinguished orator, treads the
American soil, his soul swells within him in
the appreciation of the great truth that he
stands forth redeemed, regenerated and olsen
tnralled by the genius of universal emancipa-
ton. ~ tt'D '-
Mr.. johnson also made the gratifying an
nouncement that he, for one, rode the colored
men not as a hobby to carry him into power.
for he was already in, Shut for the purpose of
establishing the great principle of freedom"
which object we trust the colored men SO rid
den found satisfactory. He likewise made the
modest declaration that he had contributed
more than any other man" towards procuring
the national guarantee for the abolition of
slavery throughout the jurisdiction of the
United States, and he told his hearers that
they had solemn duties to perform, enjoininc
on them to F"remember that freedom is not a
mere idea, but must be reduced to practical
reality" In view of all that President john
son has done to make the freedom of tbe COL
ored man consist in "a mere idea," and of the
fact that he is the chief obstacle in the way of
its being "reduced to practical reality" it
must be confessed that this sounds little like
gratuitous insult, but we are disposed to
make all due allowances for the embarrass-
ment of the Presidents position, and we are
inclined to think that no one was more graft
ned than himself when "the band struck up
nVeiy tune" and the hand-shaking began
oii the whole, we cannot refrain from suggest
ns " the consideration of the Executive the
'eoeh' accommodation of Mr. Carlyle to the
s'uueh.s Oh Edinburgh, to "try little silence
1t might have good effect after SO much
speech-making. '-

A Problem and Tentative Solution.

<
Given four pages to be filed daily with a
great variety of matter, local, domestic and
foreign news, editorial comments, commercial,
marine and legal reports. advertisements of
all sorts Of business-what is the best prac-
ticable arrangement and classification of the.
chaotic medley? II would appear that the
chances for varying the arrangement are not
numerous, bullet us consider. We have emu
merated eight kinds Of matter which are to be
found in the regular table of contents of dali
ly newspaper. By the, arithmetical law of
] permutations these eight classes might be ar
ranged in 4O,320 orders Of sequence, as we are
assured by a competent mathematician. The
number of desirable sequences is considerably
less, but leaves some room nevertheless for
the exercise of judgment and taste. .7.g -..,,
Our practical solution of the problem is be-
fore the reader this morning. We have at
tempted to make clear line of separation be-
tween news and comments upon news. The
general and local news will lie found upon the
first page; editorials and communications up
on the second page; selections upon the third;
and commercial and marine reports upon the
fourth. To advertisers the arrangement of
the column of special notices" on the second
page will be especially favorable We shall
aim to make the fourth a commercial page in
the advertising columns as well as in the mar
ket and marine reports, and in general shall
endeavor to classify the contents of our adj
vertising columns as thoroughly as possible.
Furthermore, no one feature Of the new ar
rangement is claimed as original Such news
papers as the London Times, the New York
Tribune, and the Boston Advertiser have al
ready made the experiment in every particu-
lar, and have apparently found it satisfactory.
Finally, il. further notifications or even re-
turn to the former arrangement should on tri-
al prove to, be more pleasing to our readers,
the present system will be given up without
hesitation. t,.rf 49, .,.r.i,, fir .i,s... ...f,

we understand that Mr.. Samuel Fl. Merrill,
OF this city, has been solicited by the ex-mem-
Dcrs OF the LIST Maine and LIST D. G. Cavalry to
write a history Of the campaigns of those two
regiments; and that he is now engaged in the
preparation of such a work from the ample
materials which have been placed in his
hands. ttE&
The work will contain between four and
live hundred pages, comprising faithful his
tory of the marches, skirmishes and battles in
which these regiments bore so noble part.
1t will also contain Roster of all the COM
missioned officers, from first to last, with bio
graphic notices of officers who fell in the
service, together with the names of all the en-
listed men. 5ds ~p'a7
1t is to be illustrated with several fine steel
engravings, and will be got out in handsome
style, and cannot fail to be work of great
and ever increasing interest to every man of
these regiments.

present month. Subscriptions should be adj

ing the last few years to bring this important
matter duly before Congress and the people,
but it has not hitherto received the attention

If Mr.. johnson were t,oo colored men, elected
by the Freedmen of the Southern States to
represent and protect their interests, and had
vetoed measures calculated to intensity their
degradation, his historical parallel would have
answered. AS be is only one white man, elect
ed by the Patricians of this country, and has
vetoed only measures calculated to elevate the
black Plebeians, his allusion to Roman politics
is perhaps one Of the most unfortunate that
could have been made.
