Two OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF ACoUITTAL.
The Occasional" correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Press, enumerating the consequences
of the acquittal of the President, mentions
these two very grave ones: t,.
Itinvites johnson either to expel the houses by
force, or at once to order elections for Congress
in the insurgent States, in defiance of the acts
of reconstruction, and to force the elected reb-
els into their seats.
1t also invites him to order elections for
Presidential electors in the rebel States next
November, and to force the counting of these
votes in February of 1869. :

Large and Enthusiastic Meeting.
History and Prospects of the Enterprise.
The largest railroad meeting ever held in
this city was beyond doubt the meeting held

were large and unanimous, but they were &C
commodated in the old City Hall, and the au-

and hearty enthuss SIN as from point to point
the prospects of the enterprise were explained,
nothing better could be desired from the warm

THE ALTO VELo CORRESPONDENCE Mr.. Mel
sons point against the impeachment managers
in regard to their signing communication to
the President in support of Judge Blacks
request about Alto Velo, after impeachment
proceedings had commenced, is not much OF
point after all. Messrs. Butler and Logan de-
clare that they signed the letter as giving
legal opinion that it was not addressed to the
President but to Colonel Shafer, whom they
both had known long and we'll; further, that
they bad never the remotest idea that it was
to be handed by any one to the President.
General Butler states that although Mr.. Mel
son had first brought this letter out, he had
been informed that he (Nelson) was one of the
counsel in the Alto Velo case. Brooks reso-
luton in favor of an investigation of the mat
ter was laid on the table Friday, only few
Democrats voting against taking that course.
The Portland daily press., 1868-05-04

AMUsNa.-The report in the Boston papers
of the proceedings in the Common Council of
that city on Friday is rather laughable:
An order from the upper branch authorizing
the Committee on the Fire Department to
visit Manchester and other cities for the pur-
pose of purchasing hose carriages and steam
fire engines, and to invite the Committee on
Fire Alarms to accompany them, came down
for concurrence, and took its first reading,
when
Mr.. Parker of Ward IA offered an amend
meBt by adding that the Committee on Bath
ing be authorized to visit Constantinople for
the purpose of inspecting the bathing estab-
lishments in that city, with view to the in
PRODUCTION of Turkish baths in this city, the
expense thereof, including any visits to the
harems in the vicinity, not to exceed S35, 000."
Mr.. Wadsworth of Ward 4 offered an
amendment authorizing the Committee on
Church Street District to visit Holland for the
purpose of seeing in what manner low lands
are there laid out, and report to the Council,
the expense not to exceed $4,000 and that the
steam dredging machine be placed at their dis
posal for conveyance. ..I
Mr.. Wells of Ward remarked that the
Committee on Fire Department meant bust
ness, and not nonsense, in asking leave TO
visit Manchester and other places. He also
said he had been asked this evening what the
Committee on Public Buildings gained by Wis
iting Philadelphia, and his reply was-"Wait
till YOU see their report, and then you'll fnd
out" .,e.F .4 9-G3l
Mr.. Haywood of Ward 4 said that inasmuch
as one committee had robbed the city treasury
of $1,000 it was no reason why another com
mittee should be allowed asimiar opportunity.

The Vice Presidency.


The McGregor Iowa) News must be adde
to the list of Republican papers which have
declared for Hamlin for President. The
News has for some time carried at the head
of its columns the names of Grant and Sber-
idan, but seeing that q civilian is likely to be
nominated for the second place on the tick
ct, comes out for Hamlin as follows:
Among all the names hitherto mentioned
except Sheridan, and he we know cannot re-
ceive the nomination-Hamln is our first
choice. The greatest blunder ever committed
by any party, was that committed by the Re-
publican party when it refused to renomin-
ate Hamln and in his stead at the instance
of the hair Drained Gov. Stone, of Iowa, SUBJ
stituted the present traitorous occupant of
the White House. In view of the circum-
stance that an Iowa Governor is mainly res
popsible through his oficious and foolish ac-
ton for the nomination of Andrew johnson,
and the thousand evils which have been
hrouagt upon the country by his administra-
ton, it should now be the pleasure, as it is
the duty of Iowa Republicans to lead off in
favor of the nomination of Hon. Hannibal
Hamlin, of Maine to the Vice Presidency on
the ticket with Grant, a nomination to
being given to a drunken Democrat like An
dy johnson. Our voice is for Hannibal
Hamlin, of Maine, for Vice President, man
who filed the Office one term with acceptance
to the country, and without single word of
reproach upon his name or upon the Office he
held. If Hannibal Hamlin had been re-elect-
ed Vice President, Lincoln would no doubt
have been living to-day, and the whole coun-
try would have been tranquil and prosperous.

BASE BALL.-The first game of the season
for the possession of the silver ball was played
at Norway last Saturday, between the Penne-
seewassee Club of that town, and the Andres
coggin Club of Lewiston. This game created
considerable excitement and was witnessed by
an immense crowd of spectators, large delega-
tions from Portland, Lewiston, Paris and other
places being present The Lewiston Club was
confident it would get the ball, while the PEN
nesseewassee was equally conf lent it would
retain possession of it.
There was nothing of marked character in
regard to the playing-in fact it was thought
to be very ordinary. Some of the decisions of
the Umpire against the Androscoggins were
thought to be severe. The result of the game
was that the Pennesseewassees retain posses
sion of the silver ball, they scoring % to the
Androscoggins q. W N
1t is understood that the next game played
by the Norway boys will be with one of the
Portland clubs.
