The petition for a city charter which has
been signed by the citizens of Saco, embraces
all, or nearly ALL of the business portion of the
people and large number of others. 1t will
be granted, and will undoubtedly be accepted
by the town. One thing we think advisable
for them to have in their Charters board Of
aldermen without the useless appendaee of a
common council. The experience of this city
amount to "a single allspice," and is o useless
bill OF expense. We think that the necessary
expense attending proper administration of
our city government, will prove to be less than
the expenses OF Saco, year for year.-Biddetord

The second lecture before the Mercantile
Library Association was given last evening by
Rev. George 81. Hepworth, of Boston. His
subject was "The Ideal Republic" He COM
menced by Semarking that the onward and
upward course of the world was not a steady
and uniform progress, but succession of kan
garoo-like leaps; civilization advances by
great strides alternating with intervals of rest
We are just now in the midst of one of these
great forward movements. The old Republic
built partly on the ideas of the men of 1776 and
OF l7S7, but patched in its one weak place with
fatal compromise, had tumbled to pieces. and
the task before us to-day was to construct the
fabric anew. He held that there was a false
and dangerous conservatism which would in
slst that we should build only with the mate.
rials and on the principles which were then
accepted. The model republic should be
built according to the best and highest thought
OF to-day. Whatever of the old materials had
proved itself fit and durable should be sustain
ed, but all which in the lapse of time had los,
its strength and suitableness should be reyer
emily laid aside with other relics of the past
and its place filed with fair new blocks. hewu
out OF the auarries Of the living present HI
went on to sketch the outline of that model
republic which it is the task of this generation
to construct and which he said must have 60,
its four foundation stones, Liberty, Equal pro
lection Of Civil Rights, Education and Eoua
Suffrage. He did not say Universal Suffrage
but he insisted that if there were to be limita
tons they should fall alike on all.
In enforcing the necessity of such recon
struction as this, he dwelt at some length Oh
the dangerous condition Of affairs at the South
the Confederacy, he said, was as much alive
to-day as itwas in 1862; it had as much ths
elements of national life now as it then had
1t had territory distinctly defined, an arm,
well drilled and strong though not in uni
form, press active, malignant and insidious
public opinion united, resolute and yindic.
tive. In addition to these it had--what we
have not--a President! He thought the dan
ger of the nation at this moment was as orea
as it had ever been if the people did not res
olutely hold Congress up to the performanc,
OF the plain duty before it, -
The lecture abounded in passages of mueI
eloquence. 1t had also some happy hits of
humorous character, as for instance when thu
speaker drew portrait of Young America
and when he said of Macmillan that hs
had taken ticket into Mexico, but his baggage
was checked through" Andrew johnson, be
said, was the deadest man in the United States
only ne had not found it out yet he had writ
ten his own death warrant in an autograph a.

crowded, and the lecture was received witt
evidences Of cordial approval.

HIS ADVICE TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPUTY

The Charleston Courier of Tuesday, in motto.
ing the various newspaper reports about SO.
Carolina commission to Washington, says:
1t appears that prior TO the close of the ses-
sion of our Legislature which adjourned on
Friday last, large majority of the Senate
consulted together as to the propriety Of send-
ing member of that BODY to WASHINGTON 70

the State being restored should she adapt the
amendment. After consulting together il
was decided that some good might arise. The
gentleman selected was Col. +. Wetherby, SEM
ator from Marlborough, who proceeded to
Washington and sought an interview with tie
President. Upon his arrival he found that the
PRESIDENT was occupied in Cabinet meeting,
and being disengaged, he determined to make
good use Of his leisure by obtaing interviews

tives, with whom he conversed freely and was
assured by them that the Constitutional
Amendment was the ultimatum of Congress
to the Southern States; that its adoption by
them would remove all obstacles to their being
admitted to representation in Congress. Col.
WetherbN, however, had a subsequent inter-
view with President johnson, to whom he had
been informally deputed. We learn that the
interview was Of some duration, as well as free
and candid, during which the President es.
pressed the hope that the Southern States
would remain firm in their position as regards
the amendment, and steadfastly reject it, be-
lieving it to be an advance step to the inaugu-
ration of despotism, in doing which he said he
hoped they would be guarded in their reasons
assigned for its rejection, and avoid any LAM
| guage that might by any possible means be
| tsrtured to give offense to the opposing party.

decision given by the Supreme Court, that he

RArLIoAD RIGHTs-A gentleman travelling
in the West lately, put to the test one of the
exercises of discretionary power which con-
ductors in general are apt to carry to an ex-
treme. He had purchased first class ticket.
There were but two cars in the train,--one for
smoking and one for ladies. The gentleman
in question having no travelling companion OF
the tender sex, was directed by the brakeman
to go into the smoking car. He demonstrated
and demanded first class seat for his first class
tanned the brakeman; and the traveller refus-
ing to give up his ticket till he had received the
equivalent demanded, both officials combined
to forcibly eject him from the train. The gem
teman Immediately made his way back to the
Office of the railroad company, and the mana
gers made the dnlende honorable by paving him
literally for his lost time, dismissing the Offend
ing conductor, and promulgating to all its em-
ployes the sensible rule that first class tickets
convey right to first class seats.
