The Naval Station.

League Island was the order of the day in
Congress Wednesday, and Mr. Kelley of Phil
adelphia made an elaborate argument, urging
the advantage OF that swamp spot as a naval
station for iron-clads
Mr.. Brandagee of Connecticut offered a sub
stitute for the bill, authorizing the President
OF the United States to appoint commits
sion to consist OF seven competent officers and
engineers, who shall make an examination
and survey Of all the sites proposed Tor ma
val station, and report to Congress the ad-
vantages of each site. n" ti.i1itEf
Mr.. Brandagee argued against the bill as
reported by Mr.. Kelley, and characterized it as
proposition to take three hundred and seven
ty-four acres OF mud from the bottom of the
Delaware river, one hundred miles from the
ocean, and convert it into a naval station
For four years this proposition has been boil
stored up with unusual pertinacity, and it has
been acted upon again and again. 5e
The government should get the best site it
could, and should do so by an examination of
all the sites proposed and not of one in par
ticular. In the course of his remarks, Mr..
Brandagee said that the commission appoint
ed in 1868 had reported against League Island
as a station, but that in spite of that the
Secretary of the Navy had in his last annual
report to Congress said that he proposed to
accept League Island, and that such accept
ance was only prevented by resolution of the
Senate Mr.. Brandagee further asserted that
the bill reported by Mr.. Kelly was artftl In
its character, and that it spoke more for his
ingenuity than for his fairness and magnan-
unity. leH sa g9Hf te. 4Alii3 siai
h Mr.. Brandagee's remarks led to explana-
tions among members of the Committee on
Naval Affairs, and it was asserted that Mr..
Kelly had been advised of the substitute and
had accedcd to it. 5000 n,
A general discussion ensued, and as it was
evident that the House would adopt M. Bran
dagee's substitute, the League Island advo-
Gates secured an early adjournment.

Arrest of Gen. Sweeney.

The special correspondent of the Boston
Journal telegraphs the following account of
the arrest of Gen. Sweeney: A aQi3y
"St. Albans, vt, June I, 1S66.-There is
considerable excitement in this town this morn
ing among the citizens, and not little indie-
nation amongst the Fenians, at the arrest of
Gen. Sweeney at midnight last night by order
of the United States authorities. He had re-
tired to his room at the fremont House and
at about IL o'clock commissioned officer and
a guard OF some half dozen regulars enter
ed the hotel, ascertained his room, waited upon
him and took him into custody, and he is now
confined under guard in one of the shelter
tents of the regulars on st. Adams Common.
Gen. Sweeney quietly submitted, and it is said
that the proceeding was not wholly unexpcct-
ed by him.
The officers stated that they were also charc-
ed to arrest Gen. Spear, the commander Of the
right wing of the + .nian army, and they went
to his room in the fremont for that purpose,
but failed to find him. 1t is stated that he.
learning of the intention OF his arrest, secret
ed himself, and tho rumor is probably true. 1
am informed by Fenian Captain that he is
still in the town, but out of reach of the Unit
ed States officers unless he chooses to discover
himself. 4nc SC-5 LH
1t is the general opinion among United
States officers and citizens here that Sweeney
will not be released at present.

lo ils ~ CONCORD, N. H., June 7.
The Inauguration of Governor Smyth, to-
day, was attended with imposing military and
civic display. Among those present, were
Governors Bullock, of Massachusetts, and Dill
lingham, of Vermont. ~
The Governors message is devoted to local
affairs. The State debt is about Sd, ,161 60.
Estimated revenue for the current year is
SS56,S0O, and expenses $513,500; leaving a
handsome balance towards the reduction of
the debt. The war expenses incurred by
towns, amount to between six and seven mil
lions. The assumption of which debt or any
portion OF it, by the State, the Governor con-
siders absolutely impracticable prior to the
action of the general government in that di-
rection. The industries of the State are de-
scribed to be in fourishing condition, and
much was in progress to develope its resour-
ces. In agricultural matters there was great
improvement. Manufactures were growing
rapidly, and mineral resources were attracting
unusual attention. The Governor says: 6 1t
is gratifying to know that while the resources
and attractions of our State are more intelli-
gently regarded abroad, they are becoming
better appreciated at home. IF the labor and
enterprise of those who emigrate, were ap-
piled to developing home resources, the aver
age reward would be as rich as that obtained
abroad and the State would be much improv-
ed in all its relations"
The Governor concludes, by expressing
thankfulness that the question of restored
Union is no longer doubtful, and hopes that
whatever remains to be done to give solidity
and National unity, will be wisely and speedi-
ly accomplished. 4l

The Returning Brave.

In remembering the "unretuning brave, 2
IN providing for their widows and orphans and
erecting memorials to perpetuate the record
of their virtues, there is danger perhaps that
the needs of the men who are still coming
home from time to time, at increasing inter
walls, but still not unfrequently, may be over
looked. Discharged from hospitals, or aban-
doning the attempt to engage in business else
where, the brave men who SO calamity sus-
tanned the reputation of the State in the field
turn homeward, and on arriving at Portland
find the Soldiers Home closed, the Sanitary
and Christian Commissions numbered among
the things that twere, no State agency, no pro-
vision whatever for their welfare. III,
The case of Mr.. Cam, mentioned in our
columns Wednesday, is an instance in point.
This man had been credited on the quota of
Maine, had lost an arm in the service, and on
returning to the State which owes him so
much, found no authorized representative of
the State to whom he could apply for the as
sistence which he had right to claim. True,
he fell into generous hands. No soldier ever
has suffered in Portland, and none will suffer.
But it is not right to leave this matter to pri-
vate charity. 1t is unjust to the soldier, who
should claim, not ask, assistance 1t is un-
just to the generous citizen, who, however
willing, ought not alone to pay the debt of the
community. Is there not State fund, which
might be appropriated to this purpose We
understand there is, and take leave to suggest
that portion of that fund be placed at the
disposal of some authorized agent. of the
State at this point, for necessary expenses. 1t
will be easy to find men who will freely devote
their time to this service, if the State will re-
lieve them of the necessity of appealing to
private charity for means to prosecute the
good work.

POLITICAL.


1t has been stated in some of the newspa-
pers that Hon. Lot NJ Morrill, was q candidate
for the United States District Judgeship in
place of Judge Ware resigned. The Kennebec
Journal says this story is without the slightest
foundation in fact Mr.. Morrill, never allowed
the use of his name in that connection even by
implication, as he is fully satisfied with the
position in which the people of Maine have
placed him. sol .aas
The persistent support of the Bangor
Democrat has compelled Mr.. Peters to publish a
letter in the Whig, explaining to the Republi-
cans of the Fourth District, that the course of
the Democrat is inspired by political and per-
sonal malice, and declaring his own political
opinions. Mr.. Peters says, military pressure
has been already, I fear, too much relaxed
Power cannot be entrusted to the South, and it
would be equally as dangerous in the hands of
their wicked allies in the North" And again,
-"My heart is full of belief that Congress
should be endorsed by the entire loyal party of
the country in all its measures and efforts of re-
construction to create true and lasting peace" !"

ST. JOHN, N. B., June 6.
Yesterday four anti-contederate candidates
were elected for the county of Westmoreland.
To-day, four confederates for the county of
st. John were elected by majority of 700.
Tomorrow contest for the city of st. John
takes place. The success of the confederation
may be regarded as certain, there having been
to this time elected, twenty-four members in
favor of the scheme to four against it.
M ST.. JOHN; N. B., June 7.
Thirty members of the House Assembly
have been elected. Of whom twenty-six are
in favor of confederation, and will support the
existing government. This secures the sue
cess of the union scheme in New brunswick.
All the Quebec delegates, who we're defeated
last year, have been elected, as well as all the
heads Of the departments and members of the
executive council. There are still more mem
bers to be elected, the majority of whom will,
it is expected, be confederates. The city Of
st. John, to-day, gave 100 majority for confed-
Grafton.
