July address at Baltimore, said: 1--WE ART

other for what be does !" .....f.a ",
n The losses by fire thus far during the
year 1866 have been enormous, and they
exceed the aggregate losses for any previous
year. The reported losses for 1866 amount
to S4i,2s6,OOo, while those for tho entire
year LEGS were Sa3, i3a,0OO, and no pre-.
vious year reported IN aggregate of over
$50, 100000.
STA few evenings ago the trnin bearing
General Gran, stopped at Nation. A
lawyer of that place took General Gnn'
for n brakeman, and asked him to step
aside so he could pass in and see the Gen.

when a staff officer pointed ont the man OH
the platform rs General Grant.

II has been proposed in certain quarters
that the Governor should call an extra ses-
sion Of the Legislature for the purpose OF
RENTING to the city Of Portland a proper
ton of its State tax for this year. Such u
suggestion is enincn,ly wise AMI proper,
and we hope the Governor will issue his
proclamation to that effect forthwith. The
State tax Of that city is Sl6i,OOO, based up
on valuation of S?i, s6i, 900, one half OF
which taxable property Is destroyed; ami
in addition to the loss by fire, the burden OF
the tax at this time will wcigl, down will,
great severity. 1t is not only to bc urged
from the standpoint Of humanity, and the
fostering care due to our unfortunate citi-
zens, butte our seli.intercst rs State. The
valuation OF Portland is nearly one eighth
Of the whole taxable property of the State.
The disaster reduces that valuation to one.
fifteenth. To enable the city to recover as
soon rs possible to its original position up
on our tax lists, is imperative economy.
Hut we do not propose to argue a question
not debatable because OF tho unanimity Of
those who are to pass upon il.
Another proposition needing the aid Of
immediate law is the limited power OF the
City Government OF Portland necessary To
buy lands for the purpose OF making and
widening streets. They have voted To pc.
tition the Legislature To gran, them power
Cor such purpose, AMI they should a, once
receive the proper authority for in u few
weeks il will be too late.
Incidental to an extra session will he the
ratification Of the Constitutional Amend
ment. We say "inci,lcntal," because we
do not consider its ratification under the
present circumstances would warrant the
cost OF assembling the Legislature. hut il
session is to be held, il is proper that the
Amendment should be acted upon. What
ever weight may be attached in doubtful
States to the assertion thai the present Log.
islaturcs were not elected upon this issue, il
has no weight in Maine. She Is not a
doubtful Stale, and the dominant purity OF
Maine are expressly pledged to that amend.
ment, while there is not man from kittery
to Calais who will hazarl his reputation by
saying that its ratification. whether by this
Legislature or the next, will not meet the
approval Of an overwhelming majoriy oi
the State.
In this dear old State the coppcrhcads
and the Johnson copPertails combined have
no power, and as walpolc said OF an Eng
lish politician, "thcy mny not expect to be
trusted or forgiven until they have passed
from this world to the newt"
God bless the Commonwealth.

HOW 1T WORKS.

How prepared Johnson's reconstructed
States are to assume their old relations, will
be seen from the following military order:
HEApouAarERs or THE ARMY,
Adjutant Generals Office,
Washington, July l, ls66. }
GENERAL ORpER No. ~.
Department, District and Post Commands
crs in States lately in rebellion arc hereby
directed to arrest all persons who have been

where tho civil authorities have failed, neg

T. u. TOWNSEND, A. A. q.
The fact that the reconstructed State:
are totally unable or unwilling to protect
life, liberty aud property, is thus officially
acknowledged, and the disloyal,y of the
South is politically confessed. The Syra.
cusc Journal well says that the burning OF
churches and school houses, the roasting
alive Of negroes, the persecution OF white
teachers, the repeated insults offered to the
Flag Of the Union, the honors paid tn dead
anil living rebels, the hatred which every.
where maniiests itself against citizens Of
the North, have ncccssitated this open nc.
acknowledgement that the Presidents scheme
of reconstruction is an utter, deplonble
ami an iynominious failure.
