COUGH Is CoM1Ne-The best wine is proper
ly saved for the close of the feast The Mer-
camille Library course of lectures, which-has
afforded so much amusement and instruction
to the citizens of Portland the past season,
will close tomorrow nightwith Coughs pecu-
liar lecture on Peculiar People," The name
of the speaker calls up so many pleasant recol-
lections in the minds of those who have listened
to him on previous occasions, and such warm
anticipations on the part of those who have
never had that pleasure, that the simple an
nouncement is sufficient to insure crowded
hall. Cough with empty benches to talk to is
phenomenon which was probably never OBJ
served by any living person, and Portland is
the last place in the world where such an oc-
currence is to be anticipated.

WE are obliged to omit communication
from Mr.. John A. Poor, ON the railroad ques-
ton, received yesterday after the outside of
the paper was made up, and too long for our
limited space on this page. Mr.. Poor claims the
right to reply to our comments, a few days
since on his published opinion "that if built
the Portland and Ogdensburg railroad will
never be great freight road" and says that if
the Press had published his communication
to the Argus of April Sd, "the necessity of this
communication would have been avoided" As
he nevertheless does not pretend that his opin-
ion, or the reasons by which it is sustained
were incorrectly stated in the Press of last Fri
day, and as although he has complained he
has never pointed out any inaccuracy in our
published synopsis of his article of the Sd of
March, we cannot recognize his claim to a
further hearing, though of course anything
which he has to say about railroads is sure to
be interesting and with due reference to the
claims of other topics upon our columns, we
are ALWAYS glad to hear from him.

THE QUESTION OF GRADEs.-A great deal
has been written with more or less wisdom
about the grades to be encountered in passing
the Notch of the White Mountains, and it has
been unhesitatingly affirmed that Messrs.
Anderson and Noyes pronounced the grade
line of IS feet to the mile recommended by
Mr.. Lindsey impractc able. The publication
of the report has shown that they pronounce
Mr. Lindsleys line certainly practicable, %
although they recommend another, which in
their opinion is to be preferred. Thereupon
the plan of attack is changed, and it is now
represented that the line is so difficult to build
that the expense will be enormous-this al
though an experienced builder, familiar with
the route, has offered to take the contract at
$4,000 mile from Portland to the Connecti-
cut. But ON this question it is worth while to
listen again to the engineers. Here is let
ter from Mr.. Noyes, published nearly four
weeks ago in the Star, and hitherto wholly ig-
nored by the opponents of the enterprise. Mr..
Noyes, it will be seen, pronounces the "imag-
ined difficulties" of the Notch route quite in
significant when compared with really difficult
mountain roads:

Hon. L. WASHBURN, Jr.
Dear Sir,-I see by this mornings papers
some account of your Portland & Ogdensburg
Railroad meeting on Saturday last. My OBJ
ject in now writing is to say, that soon after
making lin connection with MIR. j. f. Ander.
SOM our report to you of the NOTCH" l left
for Pennsylvania, for the purpose of making
myself familiar with the construction and
operation of their mountanh railroads, and have
spent the last SIX or seven months i'll travelling
and examining the various railroads crossing
the Alleghanies in Pennsylvania, especially
on the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, where
every facility was afforded me by their Gener-
al Superintendent, Mr.. e. III. Williams, not
only on the main line but on all their branch
es and connected lines That one leaving Ty-
rome called the Tyrone & Clearfeld road,
hnd has all the features of our Notch line be-
sides many tar worse obstacles to overcome.-
In crossing the Allegheny Ridges into Clesr-
field county lind they climb on the sides of
many mountains in precisely the same man
ner we proposed for Mt. Webster, but thew
having worse features to contend with, make
use of a grade 16 miles long ON an
dyefdqe of 126 feet TO the mile, some
portions being over 140 feet to the mile.
The grade on the Central line from Altoona
to Cresson on the summit is in some portions
50 feet to the mile, and on curves of 600 TO 700
feet radius, and heavy trains, constantly night
and day, are in operation over this excellent
and believe safest road in the country.
The Western Pennsylvania branch, con-
Meeting with the Allegheny road, has also
greater obstacles; SO that L am prepared to
assure you that, from my own particular OBJ
servation, the imagined difficulties of the
Notch route" are insignificant in comparison
with the many roads crossing the Alleghanies
SO successfully at the present time.
Very truly yours, CD. MOVES.

to make this matter short, would suggest
to the Kuklux nor to 60 upon Capt Kings

him to take 10 more armed negroes to an
election, and make no more threats about
the Kuklux.
Such an Infamous and dsstardly act was
well calculated to arouse the ust inGigna-
ton of an outraged people. But. my coun-
Irymen, bear with it. Forbearance under
some circumstances is noble and glorious.
With quietude and peace we win soon be

shed. No. not another drop. Let US have
no partisan militia to Cypress and maltreat
long-suffering and stricken people. We
supplicate you to hang up your standards
like the sacred banners of some holy tenn
piles, only to be seen on great and moment
Gus occasion. We eonjure you too, to re-
strain your Order. Permit it TO do nothing
wrong, dishonorable. or unpatriotic. We
ask you too, not to maltreat or injure the
poor freedmen among us. Know that he
is man, and the most imperfect type of
the race, and ever deserving the greatest
forbearauce and charity. Remember, too,
that many of them voted the Democratic
ticket IN the late election and are willing
and anxious to see us restored to all our po-
litieal franchises.
But to conclude. In all that have said
] have been animated entirely by desire
81 bserve the public good, aud to con-
the peace of the country. And that
Kuklux friends may not doubt the sin
/ Certify of my declarations, will say that
fought for four long and stormy years be-.
meath the Southern Cross, and was a sol.
der when it went down amid the gloom and
tears of subjug ated people And if
know myself, every energy of my body and
every hope o. my heart was consecrated to
the struggle. This fact is now my proud
est and noblest boast. 10 one age of the
world, 1t was prOuder to nave been a Ro-
man citizen than a king. In this, il is
prouder to have been a Confederate soldier
than a President. And wheE that cause

There is considerable diversity of opin-
