MIR. EDITOR: We must all begin to bestr
ourselves, and the sooner, tho better.
Among the leading enterprises, now under
away among us; and all parts of one treat svs.
tenn, in which, not only this neighborhood but
the whole country is interested, there is no one
of such magnitude and comprehensiveness, nor
one think so full of promise just now, for
large and immediate results, as that OF opening
new thoroughfare-a sluice-way-for the
products and business of the Great West,
through the gorge of the White Mountains.
Having been with the party who have just
returned from pretty thorough exploration Of
the whole route from Portland to OswegO-
not reconnaissance merely but denaonstra-
ton in force, under the most favorable circum-
stances; and having been fully satisfied, in
common with all my associates upon every
material point, and especially where we had
the greatest misgivings, I propose to furnish
you with our notions upon the subject, in two

Blank applications will thereupon be sent to
the applicant, and if he is duly qualified trans
portation will be furnished him. The require
ments are 1. An honorable discharge from the
volunteer service. 2. Disability by wounds or
sickness contracted in the line of duty If the
applicant is unable to travel, or !or other suf-
fcient cause, reliefwill be furnished under the
direction of the Manager to whom application
is made.
The overseers of all almshouses and charity
hospitals having disabled soldiers subsisting
upon private beneticence are urged to report
such cases to the Managers, as it is not thought
fit that meritorious disabled soldiers of the ma
ton should be supported by private or public
charity. The Asylums are neither hospitals
nor almshouses, but homes where subsistence,
care, education, religious instructions, and en-
ployment are provided for disabled soldiers by
the Congress of the United States, to be paid
for from the forfeitures and fines of deserters
from the army. The provision is not charity.
II is contribution by the bounty,jumpers and
bad soldiers to the brave and deserving, and it
is their right.

The State ConstnbuInry and the Port
land Police.

If any persons should infer, from the recent
proceedings of the State Constables in our
city, that the police of Portland have been der
elicit in their duty, in executing the liquor law,
such differences would be entirely erroneous, as
facts will be show. 4 #<it05 ~
The whole business of search and seizure,
under the liquor law, has devolved upon our
City Marshal and his two Deputies. During
the year ending June 10th, Marshal Head has
taken out more than four hundred warrants
for search and seizure of liquors, all OF which
have been served by Deputy Marshals Went
worth and Irish. The records of the Munich
pal Court will show that convictions have fol-
lowed in nearly all the cases, and large
amount has been paid into the County treasu-
~, as the result of fines collected from the
dealers in liquors.
Nor is this all At every session of the grand
jury for this County for two YEARS past, the
Marshal and his Deputies have presented per-
sons for keeping drinking houses and tippGng
shops, maintaining nuisances and being COM
mon sellers. The docket of the criminal terms
of the Supreme Judicial Court will show how
faithfully they have labored to enforce the
law.
Besides, there has been no complaint, so far
as we can learn, that the law has not been
fully and faithfully executed in this city; and
our citizens fail to see any necessity of officers
from other parts of the State coming here to
enforce the law. If our municipal officers, like
those in Boston, neglected to execute the law,
then there could be no objection to setting the
State Constables at work here. But so long as
our City Marshal and his Deputies were en-
forcing the law, and vigorously, too, there was
no occasion for the State Constables to step in
and take the work out of their hands. 81
We make these remarks in justice to Mar
shall Head and Deputies Wentworth and
Irish. We presume they will not complain,
now that this unpleasant duty has been taken
out of their hands, even though no notice what
ever was given them by the State Constable
that his Deputies would proceed to the work in
this city. But, as our City Marshal and Dep
uties have so faithfully and, as we believe, to
the satisfaction of our citizens, performed their
duty. the recent operations of the State Con-
stabulary should not, even by implication, be
brought against them as wanting in their duty
In all the large plumber of searches and seiz-
ures that have been made by Messrs Went
worth and Irish, due consideration has been
had for the rights of all. They have enforced
the law without any bitter or unpleasant feel
ings being expressed on either side. And we
believe our whole community are satisfied that
they have been vigilant and faithful in the dis
charge of their duties in this respect.
We understand that one of tue grounds to
be taken by the defence in the cases of the
State Constabulary seizures, now pending in
the Municipal Court, is that the State Consta-
bles have no right to make any seizures in
town or city where the liquor law is fully car
ried out by the municipal officers. 4.I

THE STEAMER ENTERPRIsE.-We were pleas
antly reminded, on Wednesday last, that the
little steamer Enterprise had commenced to
run regularly between Bar Mills and Modera-
ton Village, on the Saco River, by receiving
an invitation to join an excursion by moon
light from Bar Mills up river. We accepted,
and with the fine music given by the Forest
City Band, and pleasant company, were high
ly entertained. We understand that parties
ale at work on Rolfe's Island-situated about
half way between the above named places-ar-
ranging for tho accommodation of excursions
from this city and other places; and we hope
excursionists will think favorably OF these
great advantages all within twenty miles of
Portland. Excursions can go out over the
Portland & Rochester Railroad, which, by the
way, is in fine condition now, up river on the
boat, and return the same day. Having some
eight hours after arriving at Sac0 River before

IHE Argus reminds us that the New York
commercial Advertiser finds in the Address of
the Congressional Republican Committee to
the people of the South, a threat Of confisca-

is a mistake-it is johnson paper Just now
The mistake however is of no particular con.
sequence; the Interpretation of document is
best settled by reference to the document it
self We did not undertake to say what Thur

in any degree reinforced by the moral sup

Justice Fisher, of the Supreme Court OF the
District OF Columbia, yesterday gave an opin-
ion sustaining tho motion of the District At
torney challenging the array of jurors. The
motion was based upon an affidavit of Samuel
Douglass, register of Washington city, in
which he states that the names of Jurors
taken from his own list, and from those of the
clerk Of Georgetown and the clerk of the
Levy Court, and placed in the box from which
the jury for this term OF court were drawn
were not selected Jointly by them all, as is ro-
quired by the second section of the act of Con-
gress, approved June 16, 1862 Other Irregular
tiles are shown by the same affidavit, but the
Court granted the motion after considering the
first alone.
The law above referred to makes 1t the duty
OF the register of Washington, and the clerks
of Georgetown and the Levy Court to make
out annually lists of persons within their pre-
scribed limits. who are qualified to serve as
Jurors. This they are to do severally. Alter
this duty is performed all of them, acting
Jointly. are to select from the list of the regis
ter 400 names, from that of the clerk of George
town city 80 names, and from that of the
clerk of the Levy Court 40 names; all of
which are to be placed in a box, whence they
may be drawn as occasion requires In this
case it is shown by the affidavit and admitted
by the demurrer, that the clerks acted in COM
plete independence of each other in perform
ing this duty.
The prisoners counsel contended that this
unauthorized action of the clerks could not be
regarded as a principal cause of challenge to
the array, and cited English cases which he
claimed as decisive upon that point. But Jus
tice Fisher, though acknowledging deep VEN
Grafton for the common law, said that no de-
cision had weight with him which lacked a
solid foundation in reason, unless it emanated
from superior court which he was compelled
to obey. He therefore discarded the idea that
nothing but defect in summoning the jury by
the sheriff constituted legal cause for setting
aside the panel. This conclusion was reached
after an elaborate consideration of the pur-
poses for which challenges are allowed, and of
the English and American cases bearing upon
the point in controversy.
The panel was therefore quashed, and the
court, having ordered the summoning of a
new jury, adjourned till Thursday morning

We are glad to welcome this republication of
u little book which has deservedly attracted
much attention in England where it first APP
peared. 1t is divided into three distinct parts,
en.itled respectively: "In England" "In Scot
land" and In France" and recounting the
authors art-wanderings- ond adventures in
each of those countries. 1t is a bovh full of
suggestions containing the results of much
quick and delicate observation, not only in
matters connected with the authors profession
but ON a great many topics of interest to all
people oftaste and culture. A writer in the
Atlantic Monthly, we think Mr.. Bayard Tay-
lor, lately said in relation to this and another
of Mr.. Hamerton's works: "They are the
most useful books that could be placed in the
hands of the American Art public If we
were asked where the most intelligent, the
most trustworthy, the most practical and the
most interesting exposition of Modern Art and
cognate subjects is to be found, we should
point to Hamerton's writings" We are not
disposed to question this opinion, but it is
their interest and charm for the general read
er with which we have especially to do. If
any one will read the chapter in this volume
entitled "a Little French City," we think he
will agree with as that it is one of the most de-
lightful pictures of travel which he has met
with.
