SENATOR GRIMES SPEAKs.-We find the fol-
lowing card from Senator Grimes in the New
York Tribune. The allusion to the Chicago
Tribune is explained by the fact that that pa
per has steadily defended the character of
Senator Grimes and his associates against the
asnersons which have been SO freely made:
.WAsHINeToN, May 20, 1868.
1t is not true that have now, or ever had,
any hostility to Mr.. Wade. 1 never had the
slightest misunderstanding with him in my
life.
1t is not true that ever sought to be, or ey-
er desired to be, candidate for V1ce-fresl-
dent or President pro tenpore of the Senate.
1t is not true that Chief Jusuce Cnase
sought to influence myjudgment IN tne I'M
parchment trial. L never had word OF con-
versation with the Chief Jusuce on That sub
iect or on the subject of new party,or of any
nolit;cal marty; nor did he mention the sub
iect of the Presidency to me. l have not been
IN the house of the Chief Justice for more
than two years.
It is not true that have ever been dissat-
isfied with the reconstruction plan of Con-
gress. So far from it, l was one of the seven
Senators who were members OF the JOINT
Committee on Reconstruction, and signed the
report. | was Chairman of the Sub-Com-
mittee on the State of Tennessee, and it was
upon my Recommendation that the State was
so early restored to the Union.
1t is not true that am now, or ever was,
either directly or indirectly, interested in the
Chicago Tribune newspaper. l do not know,
nor ever have known, how the Tribune corps
is organized, what is its capital, who are its

Nor have / ever sought to influence the
course of that paper in any measure, public or

LET US HAVE PEACE."-For man who has
been so chary of words Gen. Grant has hit up
on some remarkably fine things to say and
write since receiving the nomination at Chica-
go. His declaration that he will execute the
will of the people, if elected President, is the
very pledge that the people want from a can
didate that is going into the White House
when A. j. goes out Let us have peace"
the closing words Of his letter of acceptance
will meet with hearty response from peo-
pie wearied with years of fierce contention. 1t
comes, too, with peculiar grace from one who
knows SO well how to try conclusions by the
dread arbitrament of arms. The two leading
ideas of the letter are peace and economy in
the administration of the government.

United States Comm issioner,s Court.

EDWARD NJ. RAND, ESQ.,, COMMISSIONER.
Yesterday, Messrs. Charles and John Waterman. of
Buxton, were brought before the U. s. Commission
ers Court charged with having carried on the butch
ers business without license. 1t seems by the evil
dence that Charles was in the employ of John Wa
terman, and that John had license which he took
out in Conway, n. H.. He was told by the Collector
that this license good in this State well in
New Hampshire. and with this understanding he
proceeded with his business considering himself safe.
MIR. Talbot argued that the license did not protect
them in this State, and this being the case, Charles
was liable as well as John. They were bound over
in the sum of $500 each for their appearance next

Our readers have been duly notified and
warned that the meeting called at City Hail
this morning is to be an old-fashioned town.
meeting. The business as set forth in the
warrant is to choose a moderator, to determine
whether the city will raise the sum of 100000
to aid the Portland and Rochester Railroad
Company in completing their road to Alfred
and if SO whether by tax or loan and on what
conditions the proposed aid shall be granted.
The case is so clear that we believe not sin
gle dissenting voice has been raised. The
mayor and aldermen, finding themselves bound
by strict construction of the terms OF tne
vote last year, simply refer the matter TO their
fellow citizens for authority to grant nall the
aid voted a year ago in order to secure the
completion of half the line. There is to be no
increase of the loan, while the security, the
road itself, is to be improved, and the business
which the city sought to leach by lending its
aid to the construction of the road is to be
brought to our doors.
In fine the only question is whether by I'M
duly insisting upon the letter of the vote last
spring we will defeat its purpose, or whether
by a timely and prudent relaxation of the con-
ditions we will secure the very thing we voted
for. There can hardly be two opinions on
such question, and we hope to see a large
meeting at City Hall this morning to confer
upon the mayor and aldermen the authority
they need. The hour of meeting is ten, and
the business will probably be transacted with
but very little delay.

THE WHIsKEY TAx.-Mr Schenck and his
associates of the Committee of Ways and
Means have at last acknowledged that the cor
ruptions fostered by the tax of two dollars a
gallon on whiskey too gigantic
to successfully combated by any legisla-
tive machinery that can be devised. The es-
innate of the receipts from the whiskey tax
for the current fiscal year has dwndled down
to a beggarly $13,OOOOOO. So Mr.. Schenck an.
nounced Monday that the committee was will

Special Revenue Commissioner and other en-
inent financers have advised. So triumph the

pretty experiment to try the old tax of two
dollars gallon under officers who had secur-
ed their appointments by sustaining the test

EXCHANGE STREET is now mostly rebuilt,
throughout its entire length, with costly and
elegant structures-a credit alike to our city
and to the thrift and enterprise of her citizens.
A few vacant lots yet remain, and among
them is the one that was occupied by the Fox
block on the westerly corner of Middle and
Exchange streets. This lot is for sale and since
Booth has visited us and we have all been
made to see the great necessity for a suitable
place for such entertainments, we suggest that
this would be a good location for an Opera
House. We are aware that parties, owning
other suitable lots, have given this matter
more attention, and have seriously contemplate
ed the erection of a building for this purpose;
but We cannot learn that anyone has made
further advance than to figure on the di-
mansions and costs. Soon, at this rate, all
these lots will be occupied, and when the time
comes-as it surely will within few years
that an opera house must be built, then there
will be no suitable location and the expense
will be very much larger. This lot of land
measures about 1913 feet ON Exchange, and 80
feet ON Middle street. and is large enough, in
our Judgment, for building of this kind. The
hrst moor could, OF course, DE used Tor stores
and what better investment could be made in
our city of $4,000 inhabitants-with a prospect
of doubling this population in few years
than by fitting the upper stories for an opera
house. ea

water of Sebago Lake-would, after getting
thoroughly relieved from the effects of travel,
be very much surprised, when he asked for our
place of entertainments, if he were told that
we had no regular place of amusements, no
opera house. He might wish then that he had
gone round by Boston and come to Portland
in the morning train.
