PORTLAND, Oct 80, 1867
Tot the Editor Of the Press:
= Sir,-The arrangement for morning train
from Portland to Boston at a. M, and an
evening train from Boston to Portland at )
p. m, as noted in your to-day's paper will be
of great advantage to Portland, and what the
growing business of the city has for long
time required. But would suggest that the
evening train from Boston should leave at 6
or half past 6 o'clock instead of o'clock p. M.
BY this change passengers leaving New York
on the o'clock morning train can reach Port
land the same day by the evening train from
Boston, and what win be Of more Importance
the present capital mail arrangement will be
continued, and the mail not lie over all night.
asheretofore, in Boston. Should the evening
trainileave Boston at O'Clock p. M, no con-
nectier, could be made with the New York day
train-which is due in Boston at 8 O'Clock in
the afternoon-and as consequence the even

Our excellent Postmaster informs me that

The SOUTHERN EDITOR SRTTLED-The
Tribune's Washington special says; 1a =
Gen. Dent of Gen. Grants staff, acting as
Secretary of War during Gen. Grants lab
sence, denies the story of DIR. Baird OF the At
lanta News Era published in the Tribune
Bard had an interview with Gen. Grant which
lasted for only abont two minutes, and no such
conversation took place. From this it would
appear that DIR. Bard made false statement.
and that Grant had refused to talk politics
with him.
The Boston Advertiser gives the following
account of The same individual under slight
modification of name: iaiia
The editor in question is Dr. Samuel Baird,
of the Atlantic New Era; he comes up here to
collect claims against the War Department,
some OF which are found to be for work never
done, others for work done but not authorized
and still others are excessive charges for work
actually and properly performed, He was in
the rebel army four years and the editorial in
which he nominated Gen. Grant for Presi-
dent was written in this city some mouths ago
by a correspondent of New York paper
Baird then thought that General Grant
would be nominated by the Democrats
but finding out, since the summer session
of Congress adjourned, that he does not train in
that company, Baird is anxious to
justify himself to his rebel friends here and at
home in the position he has taken. Accord
lngly ne reported around town during General
Grants absence that he had been accorded a
private interview and had taken notes of Gen
eral Grants remarks. General Grant has re-
turned, aud of course everybody now knows
that this adventurer never had the interview
he claims. The interview was very brief, and
Baird did most of the talking. He seems to DE
somewhat alarmed at the stir he has created,
and now denies that he ever made such q re
port of the conversation as has been credited
to him. 1t is sufficient to add that he is not
the sort of person to whom General Grant
makes his political views known.
So much for the last Democratic attempt to
CAPTURE Grant -a

D AT State Temperance Convention held in
Augusta during the session of the Legislature
last winter, State Alliance was formed and
Z Trustees were chosen who were directed bv
said Convention to call another meeting. az
such time and place as in their judgment
should be most xpedient. Said Trustees have
consulted OF this matter at different times
since their appointment, and they now believe
that the time has come when the friends of
temperance should assemble for consu ,tatiop
and the adoption OF such measures as shall
best secure the speedy consummation of our
great and glorious work. The present is a time
demanding OF us great wisdom, zeal and con
sistency OF action; and in a convention where
all parts of the State shall be represented
where men from the different temperance Or
CARNATIONS, together with those friends of our
cause outside of all associations, shall pre- sent
their views and discuss the questions which
now demand attention, We can best prepare
for the work which must be entered npon
without delay. 90 inJ1 H7tt5i- fts5iiistl ! 7iI

LEWISTON, Tuesday Euening, Noe IL, 1867, at

. Eminent speakers from this and other States
will be present and address the convention ON
Tuesday or "Wednesday evening and fbel re-
ing the organization of the Alliance, and to a
free discussion of the great questions of Prohi-
bition, the State COnstabuary, and other such
important matters as may then be presented
for consideration.
There are men in the State who claim to he
friends of Temperance, who are in favor of re-
pealing the Constabulary Law, and who are
opposed to the amendments of the law of 1853.
which were made by the last Legislature Let
them come up to this convention and give their
reasons for the changes in said laws which they
propose We want light, and hope they will
not refuse to give to said convention ali thew
have, touching this important matter. There
has never been time when duty called so
loudly as it now does ON every Temperance
man in Maine. Let the voice be heard and
obeyed. Let there be such an uprising of our
temperance people, both men and women as
shall secure the most numerous and ipfuen-
tial dele CATION to said conventions ever assem-
bled ia the Pine Tree State. Let every
Branch Alliance send two or more delegates:
let every Lodge OF Good Templals, aud Divi-
sion of the Sons do the same. Let us hear
from All the Temples, through true and wise
men. Let the Cold w alter Legions send, each
their, pastor and lay delegate; and let every
prominent temperance man, not IN the afore-
said organizations, or any OF them, strive to be
present and take part in this Convention.

TIE New ENGLAND EXPRESS COMPANY
Among the new enterprises just under way
with us, and well worthy of serious considera-
ton, is that of establishing new Express
Company with capital of two millions and
half in shares of one hundred dollars. st
1t seems to have been suggested by the ex-
perience and triumphant success of the "Mer-
chants Union" and if carried out as proposed,
must not only do a large part of the transpor-
tation between all our large cities and interme-
adiate places interehanging with the "Mer-
chants Union" bnt do it with a great reduc-
ton OF cost, and handsome and sure dividend
to the shareholders for all time; dividend
too that must go on forever increasing till SUI
perceded by something better or cheaper.

BowDoIN CoLLEGE.-The annual catalogue
just published, shows a total of ia undergrad
uate members of Bowdoin College and 1902
students in attendance, upon the lectures at
the Medical School. The classes in the college
range very evenly from % seniors to "a sophie
mores. BY vote of the overseers and trustees
the..date of the annual commencement has been
changed from the first Wednesday of Au-
gust TO the second Wednesday of July, andt the
summer vacation has been heightened to sew
en- weeks. This change, which would have
shockedProf. Cleayeland as much as a PROPOSE
ton to change the length of the mean solar
year, has nevertheless some very obvious adj
yantages; the summer months are, properly
set apart for recreation. The fall term closes
on the 9th of November and the spring term
begins, after vacation of six weeks, on the
9th OF January. The medical session begins
on the 10th of February and continues sixteen
weeks. The catalogue reports two of the
Brown Memorial Scholarships as already es-
tlblished, for the freshman and sophomore
classes; two more will be established for the
Junior and senior classes in 1898 and 1869 Ac-
eording to the provisions of this foundation.
,testablished, as our readers will remember by
Hon. y. Is. Brown in memory of his son, the
late James Olcott Brown, the sum of fifty dol
lars will be paid annually to the best scholar in
who shall have graduated, at the High
School in Portland after membership of not
less than year. This scholarship was award
ed att the last commencement to Frederic A.
Fogg for the sophomore year and Charles +.
G ilman for the freshman year.

Trade and Finance AbrossI

An interesting correspondence has recently
taken place between the Chamber of Com
merse Of Rouen, France, and the Chamber of
Commerce of Liverpool in regard to tho crisis
which presses upon the commerce and indus
try of both countries. The former in its
communication states that '.the new economi-
cal arrangement'-me probably COM
mercial treaties on the free trade basis-Gl has
established "a sort of solidarity zbetween. the
commercial and industrial enterprises of all
nations I'M such wise that it seems impossible
there should be prosperity in any country adj
jacent to that which should be passing through
a crisis IKE that now prevailing in a part of
France" The reply of the Liverpool Cham
bershows how closely the financial prosperity
OF Europe is dependent upon the situation of
affairs in this country. We make the follow
ing extract:

TILTON AND MCFARLAND's SAFES. - Our
readers will remember that on the morning of
the 10th of August last the store of D. w.
O'Brion of Cornish was entered by burglars
and his safe, manufactured by Tilton and Nc
Farland, broken open and robbed OF bonds
worth nearly $4,000. In the Press of the 18th
appeared a letter from Cornish correspond
ent, describing the safe as fire and burglar
proof" We have just seen a letter from Mr..
O'Brion in which he, says the safe cost less
than a hundred dollars and contained no steel
vault--in short that it was. small fire proof
safe, neither recommended nor purchased as
burglar proof. The burglar proof safes all con-
tain heavy steel chests and cannot be afforded
for less than, four or five hundred dollars

The Boston papers of last evening announce
that on Tuesday evening Hon. John A. An
drew was prostra ted by an attack of apoplexy,
from which he was insensible at IL O'Clock
Wednesday noon.l He was at his own resi-
dence in Charles street, conversing with a
friend, his family being present. He had pre-
monitory symptoms of the attack, and re-
quested his family to leave the room, which
they did under the superstition that he had
