from Washington.

WASHINGTON, June 10.
City OF Mexico advices state Gen. Bazaine
assembled all the French officers and informed
them that Napoleon had decided to withdraw
the French troops from Mexico, but would
grant leave to any officer who would like to
take service under Maximilian. 1t is said the
officers had consultation and decided to de-
cline the overture.
The statement that the French patent laws
would be suspended during the exhibition of
67 is an error.
Il is reported to day That JEFF Davis is to lie
bailed, and the names of Horace Greeley, Au-
etlstus Schell, and II. F. Clark, OF New York,
and several others are his bondsmen. 1t may
be stated in this connection they are now in
Washington, and one of them has been in
search of Judge Underwood, who has arrived
here, but it is not publicly known whether his
effort to find him has been successful.

Mr.. Wilson of Iowa, said he was not very
well informed as to the manner in which the
Indian affairs of this Government. had been
conducted, but he had been long of the opin-
ion the Indians were more sinned against
than SHINING. He proceeded to read extracts

fore the House Committee on Indian Affaiis,

against one Burleigh, an Indian agent, who
turned out to be the present delegate from

Mr.. EDITOR Having noticed in your pa
per the account of the accident to the 10Th
Maine by tornado, which blew their barracks
down, wounding several and killing one in
stantly, Niles A. Hanson, Sergeant in Co. G,
Goth Maine, of him 1 would like to speak.
He was native of Germany, but emigrated
TO this country about twelve years ago, and
was resident of this city until the breaking
out of the rebellion, when he enlisted in the
1st Maine, and on the organization of the 10th
he enlisted in that, serving faithfully, being
wounded at Cedar Mountain severely, the ef-
feet of which he never fully recovered from.
He served faithfully through the 10th Maine,
and afterwards re- enlisted in the 10th Maine,
in which he served until he met his untimely
end. Ever faithful in all his duties, respected
and loved by his comrades and officers, he serv-
ed his adopted country well, never flinchingin
the battles in which his regiment was engag-
ed, always in the ranks, on the long marches
suffering much by the continued breaking out
of his wound. Through all of which he nev-
er taltered, but was always true and at his post,
and one of Portland's truest soldiers. May he
rest in peace. SOLDIER.

TToTTING MATcH.-An impromptu trotting
match came off at Forest City Park, on Satur-
day, between the Portland horse Gen. Sher-
man and the Bangor horse Dashaway, the
latter owned by. o. M. Shaw, of Bangor. 1t
was a match race for $500. mile heats, best
two in three, to harness. There was large
attendance and much interest was excited.
The track was heavy, having recently been
graveled. The first heat was Won BY Sher-
man in 2.59, the Bangor horse breaking badly
The second heat, Dashaway came out length
ahead in 255. But he having run considera-
bly, during the heat, the judges decided it to
be dead heat, much to the dissatisfaction of
the friends of Sherman, who thought that the
heat and the race should be awarded to Sher-
man, the Bangor horse having run about one
fourth Of a mile and gaining considerably there
by.
The third and fourth heats were closely con-
tested, but were won by Dashaway. Time q
and 253, and the race was awarded to him.

= consolidation of Telegraph Lines.

sll sias NEW YORK, June IA.
The American and Western Union Tele-
graph Company are about concluding an agreer
ment of un ON, which amounts to consolida-
tion of interests. The public demand for
prompt and uninterrupted transmission Of
business, renders it indispensable to get rid Of
all delays in checking and booking from one
line to another. The new consolidation will
control and operate over 104O00 miles OF tele-
graph wire, covering all the territory and con-
Meeting all points OF Importance from New
foundand to San Francisco and Vancover's
Island. From the latter point line of IA 900
miles, to st. Petersburg, will be done within a
year, Cuba and the West Indies will be con-
nected, and the success of the cable in August
next confidently hoped for. 1t is to be re-
gretted that telegraph business cannot have
the lively stimulus and restorant that so favor
ably effects every other. Atleast five attempts
within the last fifteen years by men of energy
and capital to build up and sustain an opposi-
ton line have signally failed, When the U.
5. Telegraph Company had acquired over 49,
600 miles of lines, the. public looked for the
fruits of opposition in a reduction of rates, but
rates had to be twice advanced to enable the
business done to support two companies in
stead OF one, the formidable opposition being
compelled at last to succumb and sell out at a
loss. The question seems settled for the pres
ent that telegraph business will not vet bare
Competition, and against the immense adyan-
tages OF this combination it would be rash to
attempt it. One company can do all the bust
ness, and do it cheaper than two can, for two
organizations, with duplicate offices and en-
ployees, must double the expense of doing the
aggregate business and the customers must be
taxed to meet the double expenses. Let en-
larged views govern this mammoth corpora
Jion, and let them serve the public promptly,
courteously and as cheaply as they can afford,
and the press and public will be satisfied.

Mr. Beecher in late sermon, calls the doc

which is euphemistic way of conveying the
