THE CONSTITUTIONAL. AMENDMENT IN vm-
enA.-According to dispatches received from
Washington, Judge Underwood has expressed
the opinion that the Virginia Legislature, at
its next session, will inaugurate movement
for the adoption of the amendment to the Con-
stitution. The people of Virginia, convinced
already that the congressional policy will tri-
umph in the coming elections, and that the
best course left for them will be to ratify the
amendment, believe if they do not, Congress
will either pass an act reducing them to a ter
ritorial condition or imposing universal suf-
frage. 1t is expected that Mr. Baldwin, speak
er Of the House of Delegates, will urge the
adoption of the propositions of Congress, ON
the ground that they are the best terms which
the South can possibly obtain. -li5 So fl

1888 Union Republicans and Is copperjohnsons.

Election Returms.

The Kennebec Journal of Thursday publish
es returns from 478 cities, towns and planta-
tions, which throw an aggregate vote for Gov
ernor of Ill ,4S0 OF these Gen. Chamberlain
has 69,369 and Mr.. Pillsbury, 42,111 : giving
Gen. Chamberlain a majority of N25S.
The remaining places to be heard from are
three in Aroostook, two in Franklin, four in
Hancock one in Oxford, two in Penobscot,
one in Somerset, and three in Washington, all
small places, and mostly plantations. These
places last year gave Cony BOO; Howard 2O6.-
Their vote this year will swell the aggregate to
about 10000 and increase Gen. Chamberlain
majority to 27,4OO-the largest majority ever
given to q gubernatorial candidate in this
State. ...l.
The Madawaska towns in Aroostook county,
peopled by French, and which during the war
did nothing for the Union, threw large major
tiles for Pillsbury, a great portion Of which,
were, no doubt, spurious votes The leaders
in that section expected by throwing fve or
six hundred majority in the French settle
ments that they would overcome the Union
Republican majority in the American settle
ments. But in this they were mistaken. The
whole Union Republican ticket is elected in
that county, and Gen. Chamberlain receives
between three and four hundred majority.

MIR. b. OF PoRTLAND.-A few weeks before
The election is Maine, Mr.. B., q prominent
Democrat from Portland, who is understood
70 have influence with the government, visited
Bangor for the purpose of selling out the off,
ees there to advantage, as all the incumbents
had proved too loyal to be seduced He first
Approacheda o Mr.. d., with whom in old times
be had been closely affiliated in party matters
Mr.. DIS loyalty, however, was too firm to be
shaken by all arguments based on the amount
Of fsalary, position and profits. All were spurn-
ed with contempt. But" said Mr.. B., "the
measure to which ask your support is to be
the prevailing sentiment in the coming cleo
tions. This State and all the States win sup
port it, and it is to become the established
policy of the country" "Are you confident of
this?" inquired Mr.. d. 81 have the figures to
show for it, }" said he; 81 know it," Mr. d.
gould not see it, however, in that light, and
Mr.. B. was left to seek other candidates. A
few days anxious search found no one willing
to sell his principles for SO paltry considers
tion as the Bangor Custom House, and the old
incumbent still holds ON, to be routed by-and-
by, probably, by some old Democrat of the cop
perhead stripe, as no new convert is to be
found. B,a 3dt ~ N rrf p HF

thing will be done until after the meetine Of
Congress. As fast as received here. these
bounty claims are packed away in the pigeon

due notice will be given. The transm!lsssion Dy

The Pay Department refuses absolutely to re-
ceive this class of claims from agents, and the
whole matter is therefore at dead lock. There
are now about forty thousand bounty claims
on file in the Pay Department, and the num-
ber is increasing at the rate of four or five hun

PORTLAND SUGAR HOUsE.-The corner stone
of the new Sugar House, to be erected by
Messrs. j. B. Brown & Sons, on the spot where
stood the one destroyed by fire on the 4th of
July, was laid yesterday afternoon in presence
of all the workmen employed upon the build
ing and large number of spectators. The
basement and portion of the walls are up,
and now that the corner stone is laid the build
ing will be pushed to completion as speedily as
possible. 1t is expected that the roof will be
covered by December. The large storehouse
on York, Maple and Danforth streets is well
up and the roof will soon be put on ~ '"'
In the stone under the corner stone of the
manufacturing building a cavity had been
made in which was deposited tin box con-
tanning the following documents:
Stereoscope Views of the Ruins; Portland
Directory for 1886; New Directory for 1866;
Schedule of the property of the Sugar Compa-
ny; Schedule of Insurances; Business Cards;
List of principal employees and foremen of the
the Burnt District; Prices Current; Weekly
Transcript; Transcript Supplements; Auto
graphs of the firm; Autographs of the Super
intendent, Treasurer and Book keeper; Cartes
de visites; Specimens of the Fractional Cur
rency; Portland Papers of the day. .'
The following gentlemen are engaged upon
the building ti1@ i4st
Chas. A. Alexander, Architect; j. G. Stea-
cey, Superintendent; Cummings & Brock
Master Carpenters; s, c. & G. M. Chase, Mas
ter Masons.
Prior to depositing the box in the cavity,
Hon. ]. B. Brown stated that twenty-one years
ago he commenced work upon the old Sugar
House, and it was then thought to be almost
out of town, Mr.. Charles Staples being his on
ly neighbor. The old Sugar House had met
with varied success, but generally prosperous,
and at the time it was destroyed by fire its con-
dition was more prosperous than it had ever
been before. He then read list of the docu-
ments in the tin case, and placed the same in
the cavity and the corner stone was lowered
upon it and made secure.
Three ronsing cheers were then given for the
corner stone and three more for Mr.. Brown.
who said that the name of every employee of
the Company, about 175 in number, was placed
on list in the box, and he trusted it would be
for their interest to see that the building, when
erected, should be preserved.
In the erection of this vast edifice we think
the proprietors have been exceedingly FORUM
ate in securing the services of Mr. J. G. Stea-
cey as Superintendent Although he has been
but for brief time resident of our city, yet
his active and energetic business habits have
displayed themselves and evince that he is lust
the man for pushing matters when needed
Under his superintendent and with such en-
ergy as Messrs. Cummings & Brock and S. C.
q G. M. Chase are in the habit of displaying,
the noble pile will soon rise to its former pro-
portions, and in brief time the fires will be
kindled under the boilers. rit t-.r.l
