That Injunction.

The much talked of Injunction, to
stop the commissioners and selectmen OF
this town from making subscriptions IN
aid of the Portland railroad, on behall
of the town, has been decided. Inc III
junction asked for has been refused. On
the hearing before Judge Peck upon the
application for the injunction, Judge
poland who is one of the commission.
and who acted a counsel for the defend
ants expressly waived all objections of a
diI,tory or technical character, to the
allowance of the injunction, and eX-
prcssly asked that the decision be made
upon the broad ground of the validity OF
the law of the extra session. which was
elaine! by the plaintiffs to be unconstl-
tutional. He said he desired this, as the
company and the town did not wish to
have their enterprise or their securities
embarrassed by any outlying constitu-
tional bugbear, to come up hereafter.
The decision may therefore be regarded
as q final end Of the whole question, 50
far as the validity of the law is concern
ed. We have never supposed that there
was any serious question that could be
made as to the validity of the law, and
we regard this early decision Of the ques-
ton as peculiarly fortunate for the sue
cess of the road, as it etfectually silences
the principal ground of the clamor that
has been raised on the subject.

President Johnson has been elected
honorary member of a base ball club,
and the Springfield Republican in very
felicitous manner gives an account Of the
important transaction. As follows:
after having filled all tho offices in

village alderman to that which | now
hold" Andrew Johnson has been elected
an honorary member of base ball club
Tie Mutual club OF New York, now on
a tour TO the capital, secured this equivO-
cal honor for itself On Monday, and pro
ceeded in body TO the White House,
to inform the president of his election.
They were graciously received, and Mr.
johnson in his response took OCCASION TO
eulogize the national game, OF which
he probably knows very little, nj consld-
cradle length. The Mutuals are welcome
to leir new member. and having shown
himself in several instances good case

That are ire coming to"

Letters from Washington, for some
months past, have repeatedly asserted
that large numbers of the rebel leaders
had been at Washington, and from time
to time obtained closet interviews with the
president. The recent developments at
Washington show plainly that these al
legations We're true. They were there to
persuade the president to institute such
changes As should be favorable to them
and enable them to remain rebels, and
come back into the union unwashed of
the virus of accession. They have at
last succeeded in obtaining laid, and
comfort from the president He has
complied with some of their demands,
and the people may be prepared to see
other concessions granted at no distant
day.
1t becomes clearer every day that those
members of congress who desired con-
tnuous session we'll understood the char
acter and purposes of the president.
When congress adjourned until Deem
Der the president felt relieved from all
restraint, and at liberty to carry out the
ntents of his heart unchecked by a body
changing upon the verge Of the govern
ment.
We are likely to witness stirring times
for some months to come. johnson will
doubtless 90 on until the meeting of con-
grcss daily granting concessions to the
rebels, by setting aside so much of the
reconstruction acts of congress as inter,
fere with his own peculiar notions ant
desires of his rebel friends. And whel
congress assemblies they will find such al
accumulation OF business upon their table
that both in amount and character, viii
constrain them TO give it not only theil
early but profound attention. TIL,

RUPTURE BETWEEN GENERAL GRANT AND
TIE PRESIDENT.

RUPTURE BETWEEN GENERAL GRANT AND
TIE PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON. Aug. Pit is believ-
ell by prominent gentlemen that the dit
terences between the president and Cen
cral Grant in relation to Generals Sher-
idan and Sickles are irreconcilable.
The orders issued by the president
Yesterday, directing Gen. Hancock TO re-
lieve Gen. Sheridan, and Gen. Candy to
relieve Gen. Sickles, have not vet been
executed. 1t is said that Gen. Grant,
in letter to the president, declines to
direct the order to be executed, and states
his refusal in strong terms, virtually de-
nying the right OF the president to inter-
fere in any one of the five military dis
tricts created by Congress, asserting that
the entire control of the Departments
rests, by the supplemental reconstruction
act. in the General of the armies of the
United States. and that therefore he is
not at liberty, and will not transfer it to
another.
The Washington correspondence of the
New York Tribune says it has come to
light that the president and Grant have
had almost an open rupture The lat
ter's friends assert that the president. be-
ing foiled in trying to use him, is getting
desperate.
There are other matters, also, on which
Johnson and Grant cannot agree. The
President, urged on by his political adj
visers, contemplates many radical changes
in the war department. Many of these
do not meet the approval of Grant, and
the president seems disposed to ignore
Grant. 1t is intimated that Grant will

Gen Augur's evidence taken by the
Indian commission If Omaha, was 10 the
effect that in the event of a war with the
Indians it would lie general and not par
ital, and that he should not undertake ii
in the department OF the platte with less
than 10000 men. He also believed that
it would also require the same number of
troops in Gen. Hancock's department.

the representations Of ssRed Cloud that
if he did not he would be dishonered in
the eyes of the ycung men. Red Cloud
is believed TO forcSee the extinction of his
tribe and is ambitious to play the parts
OF King Phillip and Tecumseh. 1t Is
thought, however, by unprecedented per-
sons, that the cession by government of
the Powder river region Will satisfy all
the northern tribes which are TO assem-
bic at Fort Laramie, and will avert war
with them.

plicable to the Portland and Ogdensburg

Bonner already owns some of the most
celebrated horses in the country, among
which are Lantern, Flatbush Maid. Po-

Gen. Thomas, selected by the prcsi-

such bad health that he does not wish to
remove to New Orleans. where yellow
fever Is prevailing, and the cholera too,
and has so informed Gen. Grant The
order directing him to 90 there has there
fore been temporarily suspended, This
may give Sheridan further opportunity
to push on the good work of reform

of the country. They need curbing, and
Sheridan is the right man to do it.

She had all the symptoms Of poison by

ALI. RIGHT.-We asserted last week,
with some assurance, but not more than
we felt, that 4 railroad route through the
Notch OF the White Mountains was prac-
tlcable. From an article in our paper
to-day, from the Portland Press, it will
be noticed that surveyors from Maine
have re-examined the proposed route,
and Mr. Llnsley's survey, and pronounce
the survey made by Mr. Linsley to be
correct, as everybody but the enemies of
this great and magnificent enterprise sup
posed it to be.

On the 25th the president issued an
order superceding Gen. Sickles by the
appointment of Gen. Candy to take
charge of the I'd military tSouth Carroll
na) district, The president also issued
an order appointing Gen. Hancock to the
command of the 9Th (Sheridan's) military
district, and Sheridan is directed to pro-
coed forthwith to Fort Leavenworth, in
Kansas. Gen Thomas is ordered to
continue in the command of the Cumber-
land district
All the members of the Cabinet have
notified the president that they are ready
to resign whenever he signifies his desire
to them to do so. His organ explains
the purport of this state of affairs by say
ing that 1t does not imply that the
whole cabinet is forthwith to be changed,
or that vacancies are thus inevitably Gre
ated which must be at once filled" 1t
is understood though to imply that Mr..
Seward will soon leave WASHINGTON for
his home in Auburn.
There are indications pointing to a
rupture between the president and Gen
Grant. If this should prove true we
venture the prediction that johnson will
at some time, find himself in as tight 6
place as Lee was soon after he evacuated
Richmond. 1t is evident that johnson
is ready for quarrel with Gen, Grant.
