LANCASTER HALL SAINT VALENTINES
NIGHT.-An extraordinary attraction is offer
ed at Lancaster Hall this evening to the pat
rons of dancing in this city. The grand Mas
querade and Fancy Dress Ball advertised for
this evening will call out perfect rush, as the
managers inform us that tickets are being dis
posed of very rapidly.
Messrs. Curtis & Woodbury. have already
engaged large number of fancy dresses to be
worn on the occasion, and the prospect is that
about all of the dancers will appear in some
kind of fancy OF unique costume, thus adding
much to the interest of the occasion. A line
feature of the evenings entertainment will be
the fancy dancing by Mr.. Colder, of Boston,
the champion dancer, who arrived in this city
last evening, and double clog dance by two
gentlemen of Portland A full brass band, in
addition to Raymond's Quadrille Band, win be
in attendance all the evening. The dancers
will enter the ball room in full costume in
grand military march, accompanied by music
from the full brass band; this will give all
fine view of the costumes and eccentric char
acters which win be represented. The man
agement is in such hands as will insure COM
plete success, and our citizens will not fail to
bestow liberal patronage upon their indefati-
gable efforts to please. Tickets can be had of
the managers and at the door.

New statuette by Rogers.

Rogers is engaged on a new statuette enti-
tied "Uncle Ned's School," which is likely to
prove one of the very best which this artist
has produced. The Eoening Post says oft:
1t represents venerable colored gentleman
whose legitimate profession is that of a boot
black, engaged in teaching bright-lool1ing
black girl the alphabet. The exceedingly wise
expression in the old darkie's face, the learned
wrinkles across the forehead, and the self-com-
placency which he shows, are wonderfully
suggestive and characteristic. He has paused
amoment in the act of polishing the boot into
which his left arm is thrust while he holds
brush in his left hand, to explain a difficult
letter to the slim, HOPELESS girl, who stands
with downcast eyes and an opened book rest
ing upon the cupboard within which the old
man keeps his tools of trade, beside him. The
old fellow himself, with patched trousers and
shoeless feet, is seated ON the top of the cup
board, with one foot just touching the ground
and the other raised a short distance above it.
Leaning against the cupboard, and half lying
on the earth, is a little black boy, with dog
cared book rested beside him, engaged in the
laudabfe occupation of tickling, with his fin
gers, the bottom of "Uncle Ned's" lifted foot.
The old darkey is too much engaged at the
moment with his studious scholar to pay at
tention to what the idle one is doing; but we
feel a certain conviction that when he is
through with "Miss Nancy" the shoe brush
which he holds will make acquaintance with
"Timothy's" skull. The humor displayed in
this group is excellent, and the story is forci-
bly, told. rta

Resoloed, That the grand results of truly

be permanently secured, irrespective of differ

ResOlred, That so long as the elective fran
chise shall be denied or abridged in any State
on account of race or color, none therein of
such race or color should be included in the
basis of representation of such State in the
Congress of the United States, and that we
approve of the efforts of the Senators and Rep
resentatives from this State in the Congress of
the United States, to secure such an amend
ment 10 the Constitution as would effect this
result; believing that the tendency, and hop
ing that the ultimate effect of the amendment
if adopted, will be to secure equality of
political as well as of civil rights for ALL

MIR. Summers Speech.

To the Editor ofthe Press:
Your Washington correspondent, at" re-
ferring to the late speech of Mr. Sumner In
opposition to the proposed amendment of the
joint committee on reconstruction, says:
"He occupied a portion of two days, speak
ing with his usual careful preparation to a
large attendance. He won much admiration
from his hearers; and the closing portions of
his speech are spoken of as very eloquent"
In the same communication your correspon-
dent also says:
"The loose, indefinite, unprofessional style
of composition which the Hon. Senator from
Massachusetts carries even into proposed stat
utes and constitutional articles, could not bear
the sharp examination of a pre-eminently
practical legislator like the Senator from
Maine" nlaf 9l.. ad r.
II the two sentences as above quoted har-
monte, l fail to perceive the harmony; and
my lack of vision is equaled only by my sur
prise at the latter opinion, aside from the APP
parent want of consistency. I think it is a
new wrinkle in your correspondent, unless 1
mistake the person.
And this leads me to the general remark,
carefully considered through long course of
observation, that, with grand exceptions here
and there, important views of public meas
ures, as well as of men, often take their hue
from position, whether In or out of office.

PLEASANT CoMPLIMENT,-A distinguished
citizen OF Western Massachusetts, who was
formerly leading Democrat, but for several
years past has been identified with the great
Union Republican party, in renting for his
weekly Press, says: 3The fact is, subscribed
for it when it was published in Bath, and for
local purposes, and did not intend to continue
it at Portland. But you have continued to
send it, and 1 have liked it so well and SO
highly approved of the sound, radical, able
course you have pursued, that, although I
have more papers on my list than feel able
to take, yet did not feel like stopping your

Complaints have occasionally been made of
petty depredations committed by the Omaha
and Winnebago Indians. Agent Furios al
ludes to them in his January report, and says
the charges are doubtless true in many instan-
ces. There is, however, but one remedy. Let
the settlers quit trading with ard employing
Indians, and the evil so far as the Indians are
concerned, will cease, and the Agents be able
to keep the Indians on their RESERVATIONS
The Agent also states that many mean white
men commit depredations that are often
wrongfully charged to the Indians

coin, to be placed in City Hall, is soon to be
acted upon by Committee of the City Coun-
Gil. The wish is universal that the Commit
tee will report favorably upon the measure,
and that bronze bust, as proposed by Akers,
may soon adom our beautiful building. This
is one of those measures in which there seems
TO be the greatest unanimity of feeling, as all
are DESTROYS of having something to look at
that will bring to mind the great and good

The opponents of Manhood Suffrage de-
nounce the passage of the bill by Congress to
confer the right to vote on the colored men of
the District OF Columbia, as ''ill-timed."
Was there ever, in this world, any measure
OF right undertaken that was not thought ''ill-
timed?" We can recall none. There are al
ways some to be found, whenever such mea-
sure is proposed, who say Eyes, am in favor
of that; but not aoac. Wait till some future
time" And if the world is to act upon the
counsels of this class, there never is and new
er will be just exactly the right time to under
take anything that involves progress.
Every reformatory movement begun in this
country has been stigmatized as 'ill-timed."
