THE BUILDING LoAN.-Judge Davis, Chair
man of the Building Loan Commissioners
made communication to the City Council
Monday evening, stating that but 100000 Of
the 100000 authorized for the building loan
had been issued, and that the Commissioners
have not raised the question of issuing more
than 81 100000, the remaining 5000, 900 being
sufficient for next year. Any action of the
present City Government would have NO effect.
If the City Government of 1870 should author
ize the other million to be issued they could
do So But the Loan Commissioners have no
desire whatever that any more should be is
sued.
OF the 81 100000 issued only 100000 have
been sold. There are $4,000 signed in the
Suffolk Bank, and $4,000 not signed in the
Treasurers office. The sales during the pres
ent year have been at par, subject to the
brokers' commission. OF the money received
for the bonds there is now on hand $114, 46S 92,
of which large part is appropriated for build
inss now being erected, so that there will be

A WICKED ,-MANIFEsTo.--Wha sedatives
have been administered to our excellent Chief
Magistrate to keep him quiet so long is un.
known outside the circle of his personal
friends. But the soothing draughts seem to
have lost their power, and lie has again put on
his war paint. Congress has declared that the
Stltes of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas, hav.
ing failed to comply with the reasonable re-
quirements of the national Legislature, are not
entitled to take part in the pending Presiden-
tial election. johnson accordingly issues an
order for the guidance of military officers in
the South in which he clearly invites the peo-
pie of the excluded States to vote for electors.
The people of this country have become some
what accustomed to seeing the executive pow
er of the government exerted for the purpose
of notification instead of ADMINISTRATION. but
this case is trif' more deplorable than any
that has preceded it because it has a direct
tendency to excite Instruction and lead to
bloodshed. fit does not have these unhappy
consequences it will be through no fault of the
President. The matter Of counting the cleo
tora votes rests solely with Congress, and if
Grants elected by the overwhelming majority
anticipated; so that the II votes of the three
excluded States would make no difference in
the result, no difficulty would arise from re-
jecting them. If, ON the other hand. counting
these illegal votes would turn the scale in ia
vor of Seymour, there is no revolutionary VIC
lence at which the fre-eaters of the South and
the Copperheads OF the North would hesitate.

course the company was invited up stairs into
the Reception Room, where table was spread

WRECK OF MAINE SCHOONER AND Loss OF

of Camden, Me-, went ashore on Boone Island
Ledge. Monday at two O'clock The captain
Ezra Hall of Camden, Me-, E. B. Crockett of
Searsport, and man named Ellis of Camden,
were lost. Nine others, comprising the crew,
were saved, Immediately after the schooner
struck, she careened and sunk-except her top
masts, where nine had secured their positions.
Albert R. Young of Linconville, Me-, held his
boy, fifteen years OF age, out of the water,
while he 1.-THE father) was suspended from the

GARIBALDI AND BAYARD TAYLoR.-English
papers tell with suppressed glee how some
months ago Bayard Taylor journeyed all the
way to Caprera with his wife and family to see
Garibaldi, and how the latter, though often
importuned, refused to see the traveller No
one can wonder at this conduct on the part of
the great italian Radical. Among the guns
aimed at the breasts of his gallant little band
at Montana last summer was that of an Amer
lean official, who still occupies the position of
United States consul at Rome. Why this
Cushman has not been recalled is the wonder
of the whole world. That Italian Liberals
should feel that they have not received at the
hands of the free American people the consid-
Grafton they are entitled to expect cannot be a
matter of wonder.

A HARD TICKET. Horace Greeley thinks
there was but one ticket that could have been
made up by the Democrats, that would have
been harder faced than Seymour and Blair
That ticket he names as vallandigham and
Forrest. These latter would have probably been
more odious, but they could not have been
more unpopular.
There were no two better calculated to be
beaten than Seymour and Blair Each was
distinctively unpopular while the two com

the bluff in the rear of the house Of Mr.. VIM.
Allen, Jr., on Deering street, always presents
grand natural picture. But at the presen
time, with a clear day. the panorama there
presented to the lover of the beautiful is truly
magnificent. The White Mountains in the
distance loom up as ever, like huge pile Of
alabaster of dazzling wilderness, while in the
foreground is our own behring's Oaks, clothed
in their autumnal beauty and tipped with all
the colors of the rainbow.

scented to our view is extremely beautiful, and
transferred to canvas men would expend thou
sands for its possession, and go into raptures
over it; while year after year the leaves change
their deep green to their bright and varied
colors, and fall amid the winds and rains,
hardly winning glance from the multitude
that throng our city. One interested in all
that is noble, grand and delightful in nature
must leave the quiet beauty of this charming
spot with regret, and sigh that but a few days
will elapse ere the chilling frosts of winter
will sweep the Oaks of the lovely picture that
is now laid as a feast before our eyes.
Oh Autumn! Why so soon
Depart the hues that make thy forest glad;
Thy gentle wind and thy fair sunny noon

A BRIGHT THoUGHT.-A new ray of light
has broken in upon the muddled understand.
Ing of the Democracy. Their orators and jour-
mails say that no one need apprehend any dis
honor to the national credit, even if the Repu-
diators, should carry the November election,
because in no event can the Republicans lose
their majority in the Senate until the lapse of
four years. Thus they concede that it is only
remnant of the Republican power which they
hope to overthrow that can save the country
from unutterable infamy! 1t is as if they
should contend that the most noted thief in

CONFERENCE OF TEMPERANCE MEN.-The
Portland correspondent of the Lewiston Jour-
nal, in a letter dated Monday, says: . E.
l understand there was a conference of such
active friends Of temperance as happened to
be in Portland last week, and conld be reach
ed, to consider the present aspects OF the tenn
perance cause.
ltwas agreed that steps should be taken to
arouse public sentiment on the importance of
the temperance cause. While this moral work
should be regarded as the most important, yet
there could not be success in this without at
the same time closing the rum-shops, which
place temptations in the way of the weak
w lille IL was regretted that the Imprisonment
amendment should have been modified by the
last Legislature so as to make the penalty al
tentative on the first conviction, yet there was
very general agreement that the present Ia
bors of temperance men should be directed
not so much TO procuring any immediate mod
ifcation of the laws against the traffic as to
securing their enforcement The ldaoS must be
enforced as FAITHFULLY as other laaos against
crime, seemed to be the railyiDg cry. To this
end it was thought that the establishment OF
some system of the State Police, to act where
local authorities neglect their duty, was
thought Indispensable.
1t is supposed that a State Convention to
commence the work of organization, will be
held in the early part of January at Augusta.

APPLEToN's ILLUSTRATED ALMANAC.-It is
plainly the tendency of these days to lift the
business of almanac making out of the sphere
of mere useful information, into the domain of
the fine arts. D. Appleton & Co., New York,
have issued their Illustrated almanac, for 1869,
in very tasteful and attractive form. 1t is
beautifully printed on fine, tinted paper; the
illuminated cover bears the flowers of spring
and summer, the grapes of autumn and the
winter holly: the headings of the calendars are
series of pleasing designs illustrating the
game birds of America; the little emblematic
vignettes for the various months are charming,
and there are several larger wood cuts which
are quite attractive. The reading matter has
been carefully prepared and offers an agree
able combination of the useful with the enter
tanning Useful statistics, information con-
corning postal arrangements, and other things
convenient for reference will be found in it.

The Washington Chronicle recalls to mind
that during the campaign OF 1864 there was
| published in New York pamphlet, the title of
which read as follows: "The Great Paper Bub-
BILE, or the Coming Financial Explosion, by
Alex Delmar, member of the Young Mems
Democratic Union Association and author of
Gold money and Paper Money" &C. On the
next leaf was a caricature representing Chief
Justice Chase in the act of blowing bubbles.
The war was in progress, and the existence of
the Government depended upon its ability to
raise money for its continued prosecution.

he stood then. He has recently published
