"A live seal is on exhibition in Bangor, as
we learn from the Wing. He was taken near
Mill Creek, Orrington. He came out of an
open place in the river to obtain some fish left
on the ice by the smelt fishers, and became be-
wildered among the snow drifts left by the
great storm, so that he could not find his way
back to the water-and was captured without
injury, after showing some fight. He is now
fed upon tom-cods, taking couple of dozen or
so for days supplies. .t.-l-

OF these States, is there a fair chance of the
state OF affairs then improving?
dneDeT L think not, because enterprising
people, Knowing that state of affairs to exhist
In that country, would be discouraged from
going there and entering into business. do
not think the people themselves have either
the energy or the disposition to undertake ieg-
ltlmate enterprises; that is, enterprises result

Question. You thiuk there must be sub
stantial basis of jnstice to accomplish

Ans,cer. Yes, sir. 49, 80
General Sickles is still more emphatic in his
| testimony. He says it will be impossible to
| maintain our garrisOns in the South unless ad-
| ditional authority is given to the Army to ar
| rest and punish ofenses against soldiers.
General Sheridan's opinion is forcibly ex-
| pressed in his report to General Grant in De
cember, in which he says the trial of q South
ern man for the murder ola negro in Texas
| would be a farce
General Baird and General Wood, in their
testimony before the committee, concur with
General Thomas in his statement of the pres
ent condition of affairs and the nature OF the
remedy to be applied.
i Aside ftOm all Humanitarian considerations,
L urge the House to consider that it is the wis
| est political economy to protect labor. "A gov
eminent that allows its laborers to go without
| remedy IOr the nOn-payIHeuG Vi wages, anu
| even to be shot with impunity for demanding
| them, cannot expect and should not have ma
| terial prosperity. God never has so dealt with
| any nation, and never will.
| But higher consideration than this is that
these men SO prosecuted and destroyed were
our friends in the great battle for the life of
the nation. These Union men of the South,
white and black, are now hunted and destroy
| ed because they are our friends. The Govern
| ment by means of this assistance emerged
I from the contest victorious, but it now refuses,
and up to this time has refused, to extend its
| powerful arm in protection of these humble
| allies. At the close of our revolutionary war
Great Britain sought ont the loyalists of Amer
| lea who had suffered for adherng to the mother
country. A commission was appointed and
after careful hearing the sum Of $15O0O,OOO
was distributed among the losers That sum
at that time would be at least equal to $4,000, :
600 now. Shall this Government, triumphant
be less liberal than Great Britain defeated? II
We do not make up the losses already suffered
in Gods name aet us see to it that hereafter
every Union man of the South of whatever
color shall have the fruits of his labor and not
be stripped of them whenever brutal EN-
| plOyer may choose.
The bill will do something toward SO desira-
BILE an object. - Let it be passed as speedily as
| possible.

SUDDEN DEATH.-One of the laborers en-
ployed at the kerosene oil works, went home,
after his days work, Friday evening, appar-
emily as well as usual and after attending to
his domestic affairs, went into the house, sat
down and eat his supper. Some time after
eating he was taken with spell of coughing,
to which attacks he was subject, having had
quite number of them before, and in about
ten minutes he expired. There being no ply
stefan near, and the wife being alone at the
time, she could get no help, and he died in her
arms. The name of the deceased was Thorn
as McGowan. He was thirty-fve years of
Of age, and leaves wife and two
children dependent, as it were, upon char
ity McGowan has worked for the Kerosene
Company about four years, and was a very
steady, industrious man, much respected in
and about the works; so much SO that on Sat-
urday forenoon the workmen, together with
their employers, made up purse for the wild
ow of about one hundred dollars, to relieve her
immediate wants.
Coroner Gould was called and went out to
his residence, not far from the Reform School,
and after hearing the circumstances and facts
in the case, deemed an inquest unnecessary.

New Railroads..

/
| The st. Johnsbury (Vt.) Caledonian OF
Feb 18th, contains an accountof meeting OF
the stockholders in the Essex county and
Montpelier and st. Johnsbury railroads which
was held at the st. Johnsbury House on the
18th inst, for the purpose of organization. At
this meeting the following officers were chosen
For directors of the Essex road, Horace Fair
banks and Calvin Morrill, of ST. Johnsbury,
Perley P. Pitkin of Montpelier, VIM b. Hatch
of New York, and John w. Hartshorn of Lu-
nenburg. For the Montpelier and st, Johns
bury road the same board was elected with the
substitution of c. W. H. Dwinnell of Marsh
field for Mr.. Hartshorn of Lunenburg. AT a
future meeting of the directors, Horace Fair
banks was chosen president, and Jona Ross
clerk of both corporations.
After the organization an impromptu meet
leg of citizens was held, Hon. James d. Bell
OF Waldron presiding .5...
Judge Bell, on taking the chair, said that he
understood that the two roads were organized,
that the present meeting was an informal one.
ana that the people had come together in so
large numbers as voluntary expression of
thelr interest in the great enterprise. ~
Bliss N. Davis, Esq, of Danyille, was called
upon and made stirring speech, in which he
ioretoid not only the speedy construction of
this road, but an ultimate connection with the
great Northern Pacific railroad, by which
Portland, the best eastern seaport, would be in
direct communication with the great
Northwest z ea,5 aN., .g.. ....
A great many other speakers addressed the
meeting, all of whom took strong ground in
favor of the enterprise as of the utmost impor-
lance in developing the resources of northern
Vermont and expressing conviction that
Portland capitalists would certainly meetthem
at Dalton. One speaker declared that it would
be for the interest of the people along the line
to build this road if they sunk ev-
cry dollar of the stock, rather than not
have it built at all; but so. far from
