We say it is possible, because with the
cap,ious and mischievous spirit betrayed
by Andrew johnson all through this Of
fair, it is doubtful if any loyal man
placed in General Grants position could
have avoided the same sort of collision in
the end. From his very entrance into
the War Department, there was an "irre.

arising from the fact that Johnson

THE WAR IN CHINA.

Our latest news from China shows that
in the war now raging between the impe-
rialists and rebels the latter are not alto
gether masters Of the situation. They
have been credited recently with several
important victories over the imperial for
ces, but those victories we're not decisive,
as we are now informed of the defeat of
the rebels with loss Of eighty thousand
men in one of the last engagements of
which we have adyices in this country.
This victory of the imperialists. however,
was not sufficient to break the back bone
of the rebellion, and the rebels are report
cd to have at once rallied their forces aud
subsequently, defeated the Emperor S
troops in several engagements with heavy
loss. The number of men that have fall
Ell in battle in China within the last few
ycars-for the present rebellion has been
in existence in some shape or other for
several years---mnst be very large But
China is prolific III population, and the
loss Of eighty thousand men on-one side
iu a single battle shows that the armies
must be Of iamcuse size.
The two facts, that of all the engage.
ments reported between the opposing for
ces for the last few months only one has
resulted favorably to the Imperial troops,
and that after the defeat of the rebels
with loss of eighty thousand men, they
they were still able to throw off the de-
preston of that defeat and organize them.
selves so as 10 secure several consecutive
victories. seem to indicate that the chan
ces of ultimate snceess are upon the rebel
side. After Diminishing their opponents
by the nubmer Of eighty thousand in .
single engagement. the followers of the
Emperor must have had quite as good a
chance as they are likely to get for strik
ing decisive blow and bringing the re
bells to terms That they were unable ia
strike such blow at SO opportune a time
shows that either the people do not hear
tily sympathize with the war against the
rebels or that the rebels fight with fal
greater enthusiasm. aud vigor than their
opponents. A proclamation issued by
the Emperor of China some months ago
called attention to the indifference with
which the people regarded the rebellion
against Imperial authority, and from the
frequency with which we have heard Of
rebel victories since the issue of that pro.
elamatiou we Judge that there was good
foundation for his complaint. =.
So far as humanmaterial for long
war is concerned no country is better sup.
plied than China. Her population two
years ago was estimated at four hundred
and fifty millions. which would give near.
ly hundred million Of men capable o.
bearing arms With SO large a popula.
tion, and so large a supply to draw from
for the maintenance Of the opposing ar.
mics there isliltlc danger of depopulatinq
the country. howev,r long the war may
continue. and it may be that but for the
WARS in China the evils which Nautilus
predicted from the geometrical increase Of
population and the arithmetcal increase
Of means of sustenance would have been
verified in the great Eastern Empire.

BASE BALL CHAMpIoNsHIP.-The game for
the silver ball and State championship, be-
tween the Eon aud Athletic clubs, was play
ed yesterday afternoon, aud was not very in
teresting affair. On account Of the non-ap-
pearance of several members, the game did not
commence till o'clock, and after it had begun
it was very evident that the Athletics were not
strong enough to compete, with much chance
of success. The Eons played with eight men,
and were without ABBOTT their efficient catch
er. At the close of the 4th inning the score
stood Is to in the Eons favor. The Athletics
went in and were handsomely choked on their
fifth. The Eons came in and Emerson made
his run by some very loose playing by the Alb
letics. Dennis went to the bat and it soon be-
came evident to all, that the Athletics either
from fear of getting badly defeated, or by
hoping for a new game, did all they could to
delay the playing into darkness, and made no
endeavors to put the men out. The umpire
soon comprehended the dodge, and called the
| game, deciding it in the Eons favor, by a score
| OF Is to 8. The Eons are entitled to the ball
! until another season.

NEW AND USEFUL ENvENTION.-We saw
yesterday on exhibition at the City Hall one of
the best things it has been our pleasure to ex-
anime for long time, and one that we believe
must soon come into general use. We refer
to Mr. G. P. Kimball's newly invented patent
parlor seat for railroad cars.
The seat is nothing more or less than an ele-
CANT parlor chair hung on pedestal resting
on spiral springs, SO attached that it will rock
back and forward in the most approved man
ner; each seat is independent, SO that two per-
sons sitting side by side can act each their
pleasure-rock, lie back or sit STILL Each per-
son can occupy one seat, and one only. In fact
all our railroad men will fully appreciate it,
allowing none of the piggishness we often see
In cars by one person monopolizing two seats
while others are standing up. 1t also prevents
turning the backs over so two or three can oc-
cupy four seats, and save all the trouble of
locking down the back, as they do between
New York and Boston. 1t is so arranged that
by turning single turn by large wrench
every seat on one side of car is turned to
face the other way; and when SO turned none
but officers of the car can turn them back. II
entirely prevents putting dirty feet on the
cushions, and gives much more room than the
old seat
These chairs can be land one OF them on ex-
hioitlon isl fitted with head rest, and make
one OF the easiest and most comfortable chairs
to sit or recine in we have ever seen, and must
add greatly to the comfort of railroad travel
ing; and we assure our smart New England
railroad men that this seat is well worth their
attention. Should one of the companies run
ming cars between here and Boston adopt this
seat we fully believe the cars containing these
p'rlor easy chairs would carry two-thirds of
the passengers.

STREET ScENE.-There was considerable
excitement yesterday afternoon on the corner
of Congress and Exchange streets. A man
who had a punching machine was exhibiting
it when large concourse of urchins COM

punch it, and also to salute the poor fellow
with stones and everything near at hand. He
commenced to use all the force at his COM
mand, which was rather feeble for so unex-
pected an attack. Finally officer Gerts APP
peared on the ground and came to the rescue,
greatly to the relief of the man who was seek
ing to make an honest living. Lsa arHa

EtgeAsf Btttiasa. ION tie iot adjoining
the Free street block, where stood the brick
dwelling house OF Mr.. David Morton, large
and splendid granite building has been erected
1.-The house having been removed to the upper
part of the lot.
The warehouse erected is four stories high,
of composite order, built of Biddeford grapite
and will compare with anything of the kind in
New England. Mr.. Fassett was the architect
of the main building, and the front was de-
signed by Mr.. j. I. Emery, who also cut it and
set it.
The main store Is l32 by 80 feet, IA feet in
the clear; the basement is of the same size,
only 10 feet in the clear. The whole hight of
the building from the sidewalk to the top of the
paiustrade is 81 feet inches. IL is symmetri-
cal and 10 good architectural proportions
throughout. The entrance TO the ground
noor Is py circular doorway, the only one of
the KIND In the city. On each side of the door
| way are large windows of plated glass On
| either corner, the building is supported BY
| large mastic pilasters which extend from the
| ground to the entablature, broken by the
heavy linth and the second bolt courses The
/
and extend the whole hight of of the building,
| broken in the same manner as the rustic pi-
lasters. The head of the windows over the
doorway in the second story is an elliptic
sweep, the windows on either side having Cir
cuar heads. They are supported by panneled
columns with fiuted capitals. The third and
fourth stories are the same as the second in
construction. The building is surmounted By
a full entablature, the pannels and bracketsof
which present handsome appearance In
short it is one of the finest looking buildings
in the city.
With such beautiful front, as this designed
by one of our Portland mechanics, it becomes
architects to look out for their laurels.
The building is owned by Mr.. w. Il. Kill
borue who leased the land for the purpose. He
occupies it as carpet warehouse, and from its
great advantages of size and light, it could not
have been better arranged. 1t is credit to
himself and especially to the mechanics which
executed the work.
