PORTLAND ARMY AND NAVY UNIoN-The
annual election of officers for this association
came off Tuesday evening. There was a very
full attendance and much interest was shown.
The reports of the Treasurer and Secretary
were read and accepted. 1t appears that the
affairs of the Union are in very prosperous
condition, and it will also be of interest to our
readers to know that the Association has ex-
pended during the past year, for destitute SOL
diers and the widows and orphans of those
who have fallen, over one thousand dollars,
part of which was from the lecture and concert
fund, and part from the State orphan fund
We think it must be apparent to the citizens of
Portland, that no effort should be neglected to
sustain the objects of this, the pioneer organi-
cation of this State, and that all who wish to
help destitute soldiers and sailors, and the suf-
fering widows and orphans of those who have
fallen for our country, should do it through
this legitimate channel

SOMERSET COUNTY.
The Arson Advocate, referring to recent
letter of our correspondent &C." in relation to
the proposed Somerset railroad says: "This
correspondent falls into the same error that all
other newspaper writer's and speakers have, in
locating the Southern terminus Of the Somer-
set Railroad at West Watervile. The Argus
speaking of the Directors meeting, gives the
same location. There seems to be persisten-
cy in this that is inexplicable in the light of
the avowed purposes of the canvassers for
| this road. The canvass has been made wholly
with view of going to East Watervile Not
| dollar can or could have been raised ON the
| whole length of the road TO build it to West
! Waterville." We make the correction with
| pleasure, but We think it singular that cal
newspaper writer's and speakers" on the sub

The BANKRUPT LAw.-The New York Trib-
une says that an impression prevails very
generally that Congress has passed an act ex-
tending the operation of what is known as 'sthe
fifty cent clause" of the bankrupt act to the
LIST OF January, 1869. This is an error, however,
which may lead many into very fatal delay.
The judiciary Committee have never report
ed the bill, and we have reason to believe will
not report it. All petitions, therefore, under
which the banlrupts are unable TO show as
sests to the amount of fifty cents on a dollar
must be filed during the present week or not
at all.

Mr.. j. G. WooDMAN appears in yesterdays
Argus with new complaint against the Press,
to wit, for stating that he conceded that the
Ogdensburg road would make Portland a
great city. He says he did make that conces-
sion in his second or third communication to
the Argus, but that in the sixth he expressed
the belief that the road would never be a great
freight road or passenger road, and all arti-
cles or parts of articles conflicting there
with were thereby in his opinion re-
pealed. We are anxious to represent Mr..
Woodman's rather complicated position
correctly and therefore give him the BEN
eft of this explanation, simply observ-
ing in self defence that while it would be easy
to argue with man who holds that the road
will build up the city but ought not to, as Mr.
Woodman did first, or that the road will not
build up the city but should, as Mr.. Wood
man did subsequently, it is embarrassing to be
vigorously required to meet him on the partic-
ular ground, known only to himself, on which
he may finally decide to stand.

STANToN's RETIREMENT-Stanton 'stuck
to the War Office while the Senate stuck to
him, and then very properly retired. He was
not obliged to do so, for the acquttal of the
President did not affect his official status as
Secretary of War or disturb the validity of
his tenure of that Office Three-fourths of the
House and nearly two-thirds of the Senate
held to the last that he was the legal incum-
BENT removable only with the consent of the
Senate. But the proceedings of the Court of
impeachment on Tuesday rendered it useless
for him to remain longer the subject of Presi-
dental persecution and hatred The action
of the Senate established the fact that the
President may at any time GUST Stanton,
peacefully or by violence, without rendering
himself liable to punishment. The seven Re
publican Senators who voted for acquittal did
so upon the ground that Mr.. Stanton is not
protected by the terms of the tenure of-ofiice
act. Uuder these circumstances it is not
strange that he has taken the course which it
has been anticipated he would take in the
contingency that has arisen. The Senate will
probably confirm Schofeld, whose nomination
for SECRETARY of War is already pending be-
fore that body. To this, except so far as it
Aiitehho +" ShiuthPh VI blAO L AColuChOS SliLiiudl
disregard of law, there can be little objection.
There is reason to believe that Schofeld
will not pursue patriotic course as his
predecessor; and should his nomination be
withdrawn and less capable and less loyal
man substituted, n majority of the Senate,
which is still available against the Presidents
policy. will unquestionably withhold its con-
sent
To Stanton debt of gratitude is due from
the people perhaps larger than any other man
in his position has ever earned. Entering upon
the duties of his office at q time when its ex-
actions were of the mo t formidable nature,
he became one of the most efficient war min
isters that modern times have produced. At
the close of the war another period of immi-
nent national peril occurred the occasion of
which was the assassination of President Lin
coin. In the interregnum following that
event stanton hefu-
firmly in his own hand. How faithfully since
that time he has served the country by keep
ing the army from being used by the Presi-
dent for unlawful purposes is fresh in the
minds of his fellow citizens He has not kept
his place for the qualification either of his
tastes or his animosities. The people clearly
laid their commands upon him and he obeyed
