We conden Sc the following from an abstract
Of the report of the railroad commissioners
prepared by Col. A. w. Wildes, of Skowhe.
gan, chairman of the board: ffe. sg .q
The European and North American railway
ranks high among the railroad enterprises OF
the State. 1t is graded and the track is laid
70 Orono, and 1t is proposed to open the road
for travel to Oldtown in the spring. In two
Or three years the entire road will have been
completed.
An examination has been made for a road
from Portland to Ogdensburg, New York. 1t
is hoped that the road will be built, as it
would secure to Portland a large portion OF
the trade of New Hampshire and Vermont.
and make it depot for the granaries of the
West. 'H ~ WI = 77.'1- -
The road-bed of the Dexter and Newport
railroad is almost ready for the superstructure.
The enterprise has been pushed forward NV
the energy of the people of Dexter and Co
rinna. The road will be opened for travel by
the first OF July, securing q connection with
the Maine Central Railroad at Newport.
Three routes have been surveyed, all of them
feasible. The Importance of this road to Bel
fast, which has fine harbor and superior ia
cilities for the outlet of the manufactures and
produce OF the interior section of the State
cannot be estimated. 1t is understood that
the construction of the road will. be commenced
soon. sea- alsH .+f-a -at 'aI ID VS. o.

from point OF connection with the European

Oldtown through Alton, Lagrange Greenyill,
MILO ana oepec TO Dover and Foxcrott, run
ning WITHIN about four and half miles of the
slaIe quarries at brownville, and about fifteen
miles OF tne IRON works, making the whole
length OF the road about forty miles. There is
good prospect that work will be commenced
WITHIN the next two years.

road mas been surveyed. This road common

REcREANT REPUBLICANS. "A Washington
correspondent writes that the New Hampshire
Democrats who are in that city seeking places
where to procure voters have unquestion-
ably received aid and comfort from a few who
have heretofore called themselves Republicans
This has been demonstrated to the leading
friends of Gen Grant, who are very properly
indignant at such duplicity, and who declare
that when the General becomes President these
men must not attempt to say that they were
members of the Republican party

Mr. HUBBARD, Republican member of Con-
gress from West Virginia is. we say it not pro-
fanely, a brick. His ideas of retrenchment are
original and startling. He believes that re-
trenchment, like charity, should begin al
home, and proposes, therefore, that the great
work OF saving the public funds should be COM
menced by taking off one thousand dollars
from the annual salary Of himself and his
brother members, and by cutting down the mile
age ("swindle," as an exchange habitually calls
it, from 20 to 10 cents a mile. In the matter
of salary alone this would insure an annual
saving of nearly three hundred thousand dol
lars, as Congress is at present constituted
How much the reduction in mileage would
save, Heaven only knows. Under the present
law, new members draw mileage for each Of
the three regular sessions during the term for
which they are elected, while old members
draw for two. Having a strong conviction
that the protestations of Democratic politicians
with regard to economy and retrenchment
come from the very bottoms of their hearts, we
expect to see every one Of their representatives
in Congress helping Mr. Hubbard push his
bill through with the utmost vigor Messrs.
Eldridge, Brooks, Wood and Morrissey will
hasten with cheerful alacrity to offer their
thousand dollars on the altar of patriotism. 1t
may be suggested by uncharitable Republicans
that it was owing chiefly to Democratic effort
and Democratic votes that the salary Of Con-
gressmAn was advanced from $4,000 to $4,000,
and that no Democrat has refused, like MI.
hubbard, to draw the larger sum. But perhaps
they are penitent. We shall soon see. tiii''h''

to-day. Maine sends numerous delegation
and very strong one, represe nting the more
important branches OF our manufacturing in
dustry. 1t is true that the purposes the con.
vention has in view have been in some sense
anticipated The current of public opinion is
all one way. Senator Morrill, of Vermont
proposes that only sSoO,OOO,ooo of revenue ~hall
be raised from all sources; and as the tariff,
which there is no serious talk of modifying, is
sure to yield Lalf, at least, of that sum, his
proposition is to raise only Sl50,000,O00 from
the internal revenue. thus relieving produc-
tive industry Of the burdens now resting upon
1t. Even Commissioner Wells, who insists
that $50 100000 shaff be paid annually on the
national debt, would look to internal revenue
sources for only S170,O00,O 0o-nearly hundre
millions less than last year But the decisive
action of the House committee of ways and
means is the fact which should at once restore
confidence to our manufacturers. That COM
mittee has adopted as the basis of its del0era-
tons in framing new revenue law The prln-
ciple that only S1500O0000 shall be raised from
internal taxation, and that the whole su
shall be levied upon Injuries and the earnings
of capital. The question of relieving manu-
facturers from oppressive taxation may, there
fore, be considered as practically settled. But
though one of the leading subjects before. the
late national convention at Cleveland has al
most ceased 10 be a matter for discussion, yet
there are others so important that they can
hardly be called secondary which will claim
the attention of the delegates. Methods OF
evading the collection of taxes have been de-
vised with so much ingenuity by persons who
would otherwise pay the greater part of the
revenue, that it is OF great Importance that
equally ingenious methods of enforcing collec-
ton should be invented. The system of ap-
pointments to revenue offices also needs thor
ough revision. In one respect New England
sentiment is opposed to the conclusions reach
ed by the Cleveland Conventon-the post
ponement of small annual payments of the ma.
tional debt On this point the Commercial
Bulletin, sound financial authority, says:
We trust our friends at Worcester will not
endorse the proposition to indefinitely post
pone the payment of the public debt, or rath.
er, to make ne provision for its further imme-
date reduction. Such procrastinating poll
CIV would, of course, be deeply injurious to the
public credit, aud We do not wonder that some
OF our New England delegates at Cleveland
declined to afix their signatures to the memo.
rial which recommended it. While we believe
the popular mind is in favor of rigid economy
IN the administration of government and the
cutting OF of all superfuous expenses, we do
not believe that it is in favor of making the
national debt permanent institution, or of
cutting down taxes to a point which will pre-
vent its further constant reduction.

Mr.. CARY's CoNUNDRUM.-Mr. Samuel f.
Cary was elected to Congress last fall from
the Cincinnati district in Ohio as working
mans candidate. He used to be noted tenn
erance reformer, but has lately devoted him
self to the advocacy of a greenback currency.
He is called by courtesy a Republican-shie
ly, we suppose, on account of his obstinate re-
tusal to stand on single plank ofthe Repub-
hcan platform. To call him SO is the same
kind of paradox which delights our Demo
cratic contemporaries when they call the New
York Post, Times and Commercial Advertiser
and the Springfield Republican, Republican
journals. On Monday when the new recon.
struotion bill was under consideration in the
House of Representatives, Mr.. Cary forgot his
greenbacks for moment, and propounded to
Mr.. Bingham, Iwho reported the bill from the
reconstruction committee and who engineers
il in the House, the following questions: D.
First-If General Grant shall refuse to exc
cute the provisions of this law, or if in its
execution, he shall act in an oppressive and
cruel manner, to what tribunal will he be
amenable for his nonfeasance or malfeasance.
Secondly the terms of the bill the Presi-
dent cannot intetere. Can the General be
tried by Court Martial, and if so by whose
Third.-Not being a civil officer, can he be
impeached? or if so, by whom and before what
tribunal? ~ ir.-Is :. fl-,r...,..,,I ,..,5 -
Fourth--If he cannot be arraigned by any
earthly tribunal, is he not made an absolute
despct? .... .59
Mr.. Bingham did not i've it up but dis
posed of his colleague and his objections
thus: ain -5-s H4 fa a.r p .i alrf Hir Sd
NY colleague rises in his seat and asks
whether the General of the army is respon sible
in case he violates this law and trampies upon
the rights of the people. 1 regret that my
colleague deemed it his duty to make such in
quiry. l say to the General of the army--I
say 10 every other judicial and executive of
tcer of the Government-that he is neither
above the people nor above the peoples laws.
The General of your army is but the creature
OF Congressional enactment. The breath
which made him General may unmake him to-
morrow. Ianswer my colleague further that
by the 9Th section of the bill, if the General of
the army be guilty of any violation of this law,
he is liable, by its very terms, to be arraigned
before the civil tribunals of the United States
on an Indictment, and held to answer for his
high misdemeanors, and ON conviction is liable
totake his place in the penitentiary and pay
a forfeit not exceeding $50O0 trust that my
colleague is satisfied with the severity of the
penalty. aa-sal *. fla sff3'
