citizens, who lives not far distant from the
city, held the following conversation with the
family man servant the other day:

Pat (who hasn'tbeen over but short time)-

REvERDY JOHNSON, of Maryland, it is said,
will fail of a reelection to the Senate, because
his vote for the reconstruction act last
March was displeasing to the rebels of the
Maryland Legislature. If they We're reason
able, they would be appeased by the activity
which Mr.. johnson displays in connecting
schemes for the defeat of the bill for which he
voted. He was counsel for the parties who
endeavored TO get an injunction from the Su-
preme Court restraining the President and
Secretary of War from executing the law, and
he is now engaged IN bringing cases before the
same tribunal for the purpose of securing de-
cision adverse to the constitutionality of the
Congressional policy. He has infurmed some
of his Southern friends that he fully expected
a decision from the Supreme Court within a
short time, affirming that Virginia is State,
and has net lost any of her sovereig powers.
The President also expects this, and the law
yers interested in the case say that if such a
decision is rendered. he will discontinue mill
tary supervision in that State, directing COM
manding officers not to interfere except at the
request of the civil authorities

AN ExPLANATIoN.--In the address to the
People of Maine, published by direction of the
Shipbuilders and Shlpowners' Association, oc-
ours this sentence 1.-THE shpbuilding inter-
est, vast as it is and of such immense import
ance in a national point of view, has not a
single representative man in either House of
Congress-" This would seem to be plain
enough, but correspondent of the Bath
Times interpreting it in sense uncomplimen-
tary to the Maine delegation in Congress, has
afforded the committee which prepared the
Address an opportunity to pay the following
deserved compliment to our Senators and Rep
resentatves:
The simple meaning of the sentence is that
no man who carries on the business of ship
building and owning ships, or who is known
distinctively as arsbipbuldar or shipowner, is
member of either House of Congress. Sure
ly 1T never entered the mind OF the committee
to dlsparaSe the noble men who now repre-
sent Maine in both Houses, neither did they
| forget that Mr.. Fesseuden introduced bill
into the Senate the last session designed to
remedy the evil, nor that Mr. Lynch has done
| similarly at this session. With pleasure they
acknowledge the services of all who have ex-
| erted themselves to place the matter on its
| true basis, both members from Maine and from
! other States as well. In the mutiplicitv Of
| duties devolving ON members of Congress and
calling for their attention, twas not presumed
they would pay the same attention to a par
! tictilar one as would person who had his ma
| terial interests bound up in it. "Where the
treasure is there will the heart be also" While
| other interests have their strong representa-
tive men, it is not so with this great interest;
and it is notexpected that members of Con-
| gress generally will attend to all the details
necessary to influence the minds of other
members Sc as to insure the success of meas
ure, as will those who have in it strong per-
sonal interest. All the operations of the As
J sociation rest on this idea.

Mr. EDIToR:-Mr Gardner, second officer
of the steamer Carlotta, whose loss you chron-
icle, was man who deserves more than
passing mention.
He was nitive of Bath, and was not quite
thirty-two years of age at his decease. At
eleven years of age he left home for the mer-
chant service, and spent most of his subse-
quent life at sea, visiting nearly every part of
the habitable globe. At the breaking out OF
the rebellion he enlisted in the navy. He had
charge of heavy gun under Farragut at the
running of the forts and the capture of New
Orleans AT the close of two years service
in the navy he returned TO Portland; and
when rebel pirates stole the revenue cutter
from our harbor, he donned his naval uniform,
rushed on board the Chesapeake, and in the
pursuit took charge of gun, which he actu-
ally embraced in his great enthusiasm at the
telling shots she made --
He was man not to remain idle when his
country needed his services. Having fought
the rebels by sea- he next determined upon
"land cruise, as he called it, and accordingly
enlisted in the 9Th N. I'll. Reg't as private. A
stranger among strangers, his personal bravery
soon won him promotion to a first lieutenancy,
which rank he held until after the close of the
war.Crg - .W.WRTw .E5R rre-
He was desperately wounded through the
breast before Petersburg but recovered in
time to be ''in at the DEATH" Three days be-
fore the surrender of Lee, he was deployed in
charge of q company of skirmishers and with
his whole command was captured by rebel
brigade. He was robbed of his uniform, side
arms and valuables, and during three days of
that memorable retreat and pursuit, he was
compelled to march with scarce halt or a
morsel of food. M
His narrative of the events of the retreat,
the sufferings of the prisoners, and the final
rescue, was truly thrilling.
To the generous, impetuous and warm
hearted nature of the true sailor, he Joined the
honesty and faithfulness of the true man. He
leaves large circle of friends to sympathize
with his bereaved family. 4=-t H.

CIVILIZED AMUsEMENTs. = Edgar A. Poe
brought to life, in one of his prose essays, an
Egyptian mummy, and made that antique gen
tleman completely nonplus modern socant by
showing that his contemporaries of the era OF
the building of the pyramids were in possess
ion of mechanical forces far more efficient than
anything modern civilization can boast. We
do not remember that the questions of ancient
as compared with modern morals was raised
between the disputants. If it had been, the
Egyptian could have made a strong point o.
the modern way of deriving amusement from
the execution of idiots and Inmates. The past
year has been especially prolific in diversions
of this kind. I he Cxel cises are diversified to
suit the varying tastes of the public or local
prejrdices. In some places the day Of execu-
ton is made sort of fe tival. AT the execu-
ton of a negro murderer in Chattanooga

pie were present, fully one third of whom were
women and girls. One country wagon contains

enough to have formed a supply train for an
army corps who had come long distance had
brought lunch baskets with them and were
seated on the ground in various directions aI-
peasing their hungry appettes. For the bene-
fit OF those who had not been so proyident Ia
5les were set by enterprising country people,
at which it was possible to procure great va

Two Modes of Political q iscussion.
Saturdays Argus, in review of Governor
Chan1berlain's excellent Address to the Legis-
lstcre, takes especial notice OF the welcome
absence OF anything like the partizan vituper-
ativn and sophomore initiation which have too
often characterized the messages of our gov
ernors," and adds, ave refer to this point sim
ply to illustrate fact, which some seem not to
understand or appreciate, viz: that it is posi-
BILE for public man to be calm and courteous
toward opponents, without detracting an iota
from the force of his convictions and argu-
ments. This message is a much more effective
Radical document than any violent TRADE
could be. 1t has an air of candor calculated to
win bearing and incline to favorable CON
sideration of its reasoning"
No severer rebuke than this could possibly
be administered to Gen. Sam. j Anderson,
whose violent TRADE" against the city govern
ment of Portland is reported in the same pa
per. Gen. Anderson is represented as having
addressed the Constitutional Union Club Fri
day evening substantially as follows:
In every department of the city government
corruption festered. Favoritism nepotism and
a want of discriminating ability had placed
horde OF plunderers in power. The city was
being contracted in its resources and misrep-
resented abroad. The business men were eve
rywhere complaining and demanding change.
Conservatism could rule the city to its advan-
tage, and people were convinced of it. Con-
servatism mast rule the CITY. Our welfare de-
pended upon it, The speaker did not indicate
anything definite in regard to policy. but general
ly suggested the propriety Of a change
Nobody in his senses believes this sweeping
denunciation TO be even measureably true.
Criticism of the action of the city government
in any particular is Of course perfectly proper,
and may be of public advantage; but the as
sertion that corruption testers in every depart
maeat," is mere sound and fury, signifying moth
in. This is the prancing and neighing of "the
old war horse of politics, an. animal with
which both parties are tolerably familiar, and
of which the people are getting thoroughly
