Portland and the West.

A communication will be found in another
column, setting forth the advantages of the
proposed all rail connection of Portland and
Chicago via Rutland. With most of the state
ments in this communication we heartily
agree. The C pnnection is exceedingly deslr-
able as part of the railroad system which 1t
is for the interest of Portland to encourage to
the extent of her ability. 1t does not promise
SO great results as the Portland and Ogdens-
burg route. but on the other hand it does moi
reouire SO great an outlay of capital. If the
same route is selected for both roads within
the State of Maine, as was proposed when
Governor Page and his friends were here, then
so far as this State is concerned the friends Of
either enterprise are friends of both. There
should be, and we hope, will be, no unseason.
able rivalry between the two. We have gone
too far in the Portland and Ogdensburg mat
ter TO withdraw; it promises too much to be
lightly abandoned; but whatever Portland can
do besides for the Rutland road she will un.
questionably do.
At one point we notice an apparent inaccu-
racy in the statement of our correspondent
He says the route he favors is "the most direct
practical line of transit from Chicago to the
sea" though in another passage he mentions
that the distance from Schenectady to Boston
is but 217 miles, and the distance from Sche'
nectady to New York is only ISL miles, while
taking his own figures, the route Ella Rutland
to Portland will be pa miles. AT Schenectady
then, common point on the route to Chicago
by the New York Central railroad, New York
has an advantage over Portland of S3 miles
and Boston of q. The most direct line of tran
sit from Chicago to the sea, if "direct" means
shortest, will still be to New York, and the
least direct to Portland. If "direct" means
straightest, the statement may be true but is Of
no special interest or significance.

WHAT muddy-blood Democratic orators
and speakers must have not to rejoice in the
fact that bill is making good progress in
Congress that relieves eight or ten thousand
articles from internal taxation "a bill that will
reduce the taxes some Jforty-tao million dollars
They have lamented night and day the exist
ence OF these taxes. The sound of their wall
ing has gone up from every stump in New
Hampshire. There is not an Irish voter in
America that has not had the doleful story
constantly sounded in his ears. Will not
these hypocritical demagogues, who don't care
brass farthing for the people or the prosperi-
ty of the country, tell their deluded followers
the good news? Why leave them to founder
in the Slough of Despond when there is no
longer any occasion for il?
The truth is the Democratic leaders are
panied to the heart to see that our taxes can
now be reduced. Taxes give them an oppor-
tunity to Lowl. Therefore they like them. Re-
publicans do not like them and repeal them at
the earliest moment the circumstances of the
Treasury will permit. What Democratic pa
per failed to comment upon the taxes in trust
full strain? What Democratic paper has de-
voted line outside the Geographic columns
to an explanation of the improved prospects
OF the manufacturing interests of the country?
With respect to the national debt the conduct
of the Democracy has been EQUALLY atrocious.
During the month of January the debt in
creased. This was sweet morsel for every
grade of Democrat and Rebel. 1t was served up
with every variety OF typographical exaggera-
tion and emphasis. Will anyone undertake to
find Democratic paper that has called atten-
ton to the decrease of the debt during the
month of February? This is not only idiotic
but criminal. 1t discloses an unpatriotic spir-
it that exsults in the depression of hnsineses
-z.nT..,iA-i~i.0 r 00unuence IN the government
and gloomy prospects for the future-all be-
-------~ "vPo vnaU rucsc uHuoward circum-
stances may be made available for bringing
their hungry legions into office.

MASSACHUSETTS PoLITIcs.-From the Bos.
ton Journal We learn that the Massachusetts
politicians regard Senator Wilson's chances
ofobtaining the nomination for the vice-Pres-
idency at Chicago, if his name should be pre-
sented, as very good. Gov. Bullock will de-
cline denomination for his present position,
aud his successor will be either Mr.. Doves
Mr.. ClafiD, DR.. Loring or A. Fl. Rice. The
speculations with regard to congressman are
that Eliot will be reelected, if he desires, but
will be succeeded by Mr.. Davis of Plymouth, il
he should decline. Cakes Ames will be re-
elected from the first district. In the third
district 1t is understood that Hon. Ginery
Twichell will decline and Hon. William Whit
ing and Edward Atkinson, Esq, are suggested
as gentlemen qualified to represent the dis
trict. In the fourth district Hon. Samull
Hooper, will, no doubt, be renominated. In
the fifth district General Butler will be on the
track, an6 in the sixth district General Banks
will receive hearty support. In the seventh
district there will be no opposition from his
own party to Hon. George s. Boutwell,. In
the eighth district it is said that Hon. F. w.
Bird will be nominated, Hon. John D. Baldwin
retiring after honorable service In the ninth
district Hon. William B. Washburn is very
popular. In the tenth district it is said Hon.
Henry L. Dawes will decline a denomination,
and Hon. e. B. Gilet is suggested. The
friends of George William Curtis would be
happy to have him claim claim his country
residence as his permanent home and enter the
lists from that district as candidate for Con-
prasc

The gale OF Monday extended over very
wide area of the Western States, and seems to
have been of almost unprecedented violence.
At Chicago many buildings were blown down.
The machine shop of the Chicago and Rhode
Island Railroad, 200 miles long, was entirely
demolished. 1t is reported that 40 buildings
are more or less damaged. The damage to the
Rock Island shop is 100000. A tremendous
hurricane visited the town of Chatham, ILL.,,
on the Chicago and Alton Railroad, carrying
off the roof of the depot and making a COM
plete wreck of the structure. At Rock Island
the draw to the railroad bridge across the
Mississippi river was blown down breaking it
in two and one man was killed.
At st. Louis, the storm did considerable
damage to steamers at the levees. The dam
age to boats amounts TO ten or fifteen thousand
dollars. In the city much damage was done.
ST. AIMS Asylum lost gable, the Pacific r.
r. Depot lost part of the roof, the Convent of
Sacred Heart had gable blown down, the
roof OF Pecks planning mill was blown off and
several dwelling houses were unroofed. Walls
were blown down, fences and trees levelled
and lumber yards RACED. At Peoria, ILL.,
twelve or fifteen houses were blown down.
Damage $4,000 to $4,000. At Memphis, the
hurricane was very severe and did considerable
damage to the shipping At Cincinnati the
storm was very severe, and several buildings
were blown down. A train on the Indianapc-
lis and Cincinnati R. R., was lifted from the
track, leaving the trucks standing. John
Eagan, the conductor was severely hurt.
Several passengers were badly bruised. At
California several houses were unroofed. The
Methodist Church at Elizabethtown was
blown down and large brick mill there COM
pletely demolished, causing a heavy loss.
Passengers say large number of houses be-
tween Cincinnati and indianapolis are unroof-
ed by the storm, The brewery at Newton,
Indiana, was almost entirely destroyed. The
roof of large storehouse near Andrews was
carried off, and falling near the railroad track
demolished the telegraph wires. Nine in
mates of the building were seriously damaged.
The boats at the wharf were badly damaged,
having swung round in every direction.
The course of the storm was in two cur
rents, from N. w. to s. E., expanding its
greatest fury in the suburbs of the city
Though not of long duration it ragged with
great fierceness.

latitude is most wonderful, being an excess OF
only liza miles or II per cent, which may pos
sibly be reduced as low as II per cent. On
the line from Portland to Montreal the rail-
road line is 293 miles and the exact distance
between these points 203 miles-a detection of
81 per cent from straight line.
From Portland to Chicago by way of Mon
treal is 1141 miles. Whitehall at the head Of
Lake Champlain is on the same parallel as
Portland and Rutland, so that any line rum
ming around the foot of Lake Champlain,
which is 100 miles in length, must increase
the distance over the direct one, along the
route now proposed. From Schenectady to
Portland via Rutland and Cornish is but IA
miles. 1t is PIT miles from Schenectady to
Boston encountering the heavy grades OF the
Western railroad.
All that is now required to complete this
chain of railroads is the putting in of the links,
between Rutland and Portland, as proposed
by Gov. Page and his associates from Vermont
who visited our city in February last, and for
which a most liberal charter has since been
obtained from the legislature of Maine. Our
Vermont friends propose to complete forth
nest friends on the line in New Hampshire will
complete the link between Centre Harbor and
Canaan or Danbury on the line of the North
ern Railroad. From Centre Harbor to Port
land, distance of &c miles, there are some 80
to GO miles of line to build. If We use the Port
land and Rochester as far as Gorham, say 3
miles, it leaves 81 miles Of new line to build,
and the towns of Gorham, Standish and Bald
win in the county of Cumberland, Limington,
Cornish, Parsonfield, Limerick and Newfield
in the county of York. and Hiram, Porter and
Brownfeld in Oxford will be directly interest
ed to aid in its construction, to say nothing of
the other towns not so Immediately affected,
or upon the route. The Ossipee towns in New
Hampshire are abundantly able and will unite
with those of Maine is constructing the line TO
Centre Harbor or Plymouth.
The whole county of Carroll will be thereby
brought at once to Portland market and the
same will be true OF portions of the counties of
Grafton and Belknap. Considerably more
than one-half of the territory of New Hamp-
shire and Vermont lie north of due soest line
from Portland to Whitehall, and that entire
region is nearer to Portland than to Boston.
Between Rutland and Portland there is some
10 miles in our favor. Why not devote our
energies to the work of constructing lines of
railway that we can afford to build and that
will bring us new business rather than con-
trive schemes for taking it away? P.

mind our readers that Camilla Urso appears
before Portland audience this evening, at the

last opportunity for a long time that our people
will have to hear this accomplished violinist,

In addition to Camilla Urso, we are to have
tonight those eminent voca lists, Mr.. Whitney

The Portland and Rutland Railroad.

The West has its eyes on Portland harbor.
From Chicago to Portland by way of Detroit,
the Suspension Bridge, Schenectady, Rutland,
and thence by the proposed new line via
Woodstock, White river Junction, Centre
Harbor and Cornish, the most direct practical
BILE line of transit from Chicago TO the sea can
be obtained. The only chance to shorten it,
will be by more direct line from Whitehall
to Rome on the line of the New York Central
Railroad. From Rome to Schenectady by this
railroad is SO miles, and from thence
to Whitehall by railroad is 81 miles, or a total
of 154 miles, while from Rome to Whitehall it
is not over ITO miles on an air line, making
clear saving of over 40 miles in distance. from
Rutland to the Suspension Bridge. With
this exception the lines as now built are re-
markable for their directness.
