CHER JUSTICE CHASE FOR GRANT-"Dix-
on" the well informed Washington cores
pondent Of the Boston Advertiser, says; y
Chief Justice Chase expresses himself free
ly 60 his friends concerning the political situa-
ton. BE feels entirely Confident Of General
Grants election, and not only this, but says
further that be viii be President for eight
years if he desires it, for he will be icantieus,
will bring good men around him, will make
no serious blunders, and that his influence up
on the Republican party will be to consolidate
it. On the other hand, Mr. Chase says that
in his Judgment the Democratic party will be
hopelessly divided by the fact that it has fully
identified itself with the rebels and rebel ideas,
and this will surely drive off a large number Of
Northern Democrats and leave the party pow
erless against the Republicans. Mr.. Chase ex-
poets to be able to sympathize fully with Gen.
Grants administration.

To TIE REsCUE.-The committee appointed
on beh alf of the citizens of Portland to obtain
subscriptions to the stock of the Portland & Og-
densburg Railroad having delayed action for the
past week on account of he interest manifested by
our people in the State Fair now being held will
Immediately commence their labors. Let every
business man, every real estate holder, every man
OF whatever degree, who feels his responsibility as
a citizen, who would see our stores filled with
goods, our hotels and streets with customers, our
mechanics and laboring men steadily employed at
remuneratiye wages, our wharves lined with ves-
sells, the vacant places in streets built up and
occupied, manufacturing establishments increase
the wealth of the mighty West flow down to us
on natures grand highway-the inland seas of
this continent-the entire trade of one third OF
Vermont and New Hampshire, the garden of New
England, added, for all time, to the business in
terests of our city, all in fact who would add
trade, wealth and population, encourage enter
prise and activity and open new era of progress
and prosperity to our own Portland now act
promptly, without hesitation, and to the full err
tent of their ability. s7r BAL .s.
The gentlemen who have this matter in charge
are business men, their time is valuable and is
taken from their own private affairs without hope
of reward except the general good. They have
devoted themselves, their time and money, to
this enterprise. They have resolved to make on e
more effort to obtain subscription of $3.50 900;
then to resign their trust into the hands of Direc-
tors to be chosen on the organization of the COM
pany. If they fail now they will not renew their
efforts and the men who acting in the interests
and under the pay of an arrogant, overbearing
rival will have the satisfaction of reporting to
their employers that Portland is once more re-
duced to the position of provincial city, and the
key to the commerce of the great Lake Zone is
still held by the commercial men of Boston.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.-About half past nine
o'clock last evening yonng man coming up
Browns wharf, stumbled over the headless body
of a man, apparently laborer about So years
of age, poorly dressed. He called the watch
man of Messrs j. B. Brown & Co., who came
with lantern. The head of the body was
found about one rod from the body, laying just
outside of the railroad track. The body laid
across the inside of the track, with the chest
and shoulders crushed fat. The lower part of
the body was untouched. 1t was evident that
the man had been run over by the train which
was placing cars on the wharf, and after his
head had been severed the body was pushed
some distance from it by the cars.
Coroner Hall was called and went down to
view the body. 1t was a CHASTITY scene. 1t
was not discovered at late hour who the man
was, or how he happened to BIO on the wharf =
There are no lamps there, and the place was as
dark as it could possibly be. - $3.50
The body was dressed in gray sattinet pants
dark coat, black and white wooden shirt and
drab kossuth hat. The face was thin, with
long crooked nose, and thin dark hair upon the
head. Coroner Hall, by order of the County
Attorney, will hold an inquest at the Grand
Trunk depot, at 9 o'clock this morning.
