Political Notes.

The free rum party is better organized and
more determined at Albany than in Boston,
and bill will soon be introduced into the
New York Legislature amending the axcise
law, by virtually annulling it. 1t grants IL
censes for from $50 to $50, abolishes all restric-
uons on the Sunday sale, and it is in general
loose in its provisions, and impossible of exc
cution, should it pass. 1t will succeed in the
House, by the strict Democratic majority. and
If not defeated in the Senate, will probably be
vetoed by Gov. Fenton.
The Cincinnati Commercial calls the two
factions in the Democratic party the green

YARMOUTH, Feb, IA, 1868
To the Editor Of the Press:
1 have read with much interest the commu-
nications which have lately appeared in your
paper under the head of Drumming" and it
seems to me that all of the writer's of those ar
ticles, except perhaps one, might agree better
if they would only be little more explicit.
Are they not all willing to let those Portland
merchants who choose to do so, send out run
ners into the benighted regions of the State
where the gospel of the Portland market has
not hitherto been preached, provided always
that the "outside barbarans" from Boston,
New York, Sc, were kept out in the cold?
presume they are, and am of the opinion
that such an arrangement would be quite sat
isfactory to US country traders, who for the
most part have learned to our cost that we can
buy as good articles at as, fair prices, to say
the least, in Portland as in any other place
in or out of New England; and III any of us
have not learned this, we probably soon shall
and govern ourselves accordingly without any
legislative interference, unless we are too stu
pid to learn at the school of EXPERIENCE.

DEER1Na HALL was well filed last evenin

DEERING HALL was well filed last evening
on the occasion OF the presentation of Gold
smiths comedy, "She Stops to Conquer" by
Edmund Coles Dramatic Company This
company have steadily grown upon the favor
of the public during their brief season in this
city, and the audience and the general interest
were both greater last evening than upon any
previous occasion. Goldsmth's subtle humor,
which for hundred years has provoked Sin
extinguishable laughter" whenever this come :
dy has been read or acted, was never more
thoroughly enjoyed. Lizzie Cooper proved q
charming Miss Hardcastle. Her study of the
character was exquisite, and both as bar-mad
and as heiress, her acting was appropriate and
effective. Miss Cooper is an actress who does
not fear to observe most vigorously by Shakes
peare's canon not "to overstep the modesty Of
nature" She was greeted with applause each
time she appeared on the stage, and was called
in front of the curtain at the close of the play.
Beckett, Beun, Miss Gray, and the res OF the
company were admirable in their several parts.
The Englishman in india" the performance
OF which closed the evenings entertainment,
was rendered successful by the yiyacity of
Fanny Stocqueler and the humor of Edmund
Coles.
This evening ends the dramatic season, and
Edmund Coles takes his farewell benefit.
Miss Cooper will give the public an opportun:.
ty to judge of her capability in a character
different from those which she has hitherto
assumed. appearing in the tragedy of Lucretia
Borgia. 1t is due to this admirable theatrical
company that their last appearance should be
greeted by crowded house.

The IMPEACHMENT project was for second
time rejected on Thursday. The document
drawn up aud presented to the reconstruction
COMMITTEES concluded with a resolution direct
ing the immediate commencement of impeach-
ment proceedings. On motion OF Mr. Bingham
thewhole subject was laid on the table by vote
of6 to g. Messrs Stevens, Boutwell, and
Farnsworth voted in the affirmative Mr..
Stevens is said 10 be extremely indignant at
t1is disposition OF the case, which considering
his age and irritability is not to be wondered
at. At the very time when this conclusion
was reached the man at the White House con-
cocted another scheme for making needless
trouble. What Andrew johnson expects TO
bring about of value to himself, his party or
his country by nominating Sherman to be
General Of the Army of the United States
by brevet, it is difficult to divine. The only
imaginable purpose is puerile desire to TO-
ment quarrel between Grant and Sherman.
The President is incapable of realizing how
far above feelings petty rivalry and jealousy
those TWO brave men are. Grant was in con-
slant consultation with Sherman duriug the
progress of the Stanton difficulty, and moth
ing has occur ed TO disturb those sentiments
of friendship and respect which in marked
degree have always existed between them.
There is no prejudice in the United States
Senate against Sherman that will prevent his
being confirmed, but it is said that the brevet
rank of General is not provided for in the act
under which Grant attained his present po-
sition. The friends of General Sherman say
that he is as mucli astonished as anybody at
this last fantastic trick of the President. The
only thing of importance now attended to at
the White House is the manufacture of SEN
sation stories, like that about n violent quar-
rel between the Generals Grant and Han

one authentic instance in which the Demo-
Gratis have ever instituted reforms in the ad-
ministration of State or municipal govern

the conclusion. Democratic Congressman al

They did il recently when the salary was rails

they would make capital against the Republi-
cans out of that increase. Democratic legis-
lators wart their pay in gold. Two Of them
in our Legislature made this little move the
other day, desiring to increase their pay to

Constitution provides that the Senators

pensation as shall be established by law, bat

straint improved upon it by the State legisia-
ture its financial cond ition would be hopeless.

AT the commercial convention, in Boston,
last week, Western men complained that they
suffered great inconvenience from the deten-
ton of their imported goods at the se9board
for the payment of duties. To remedy this
difficulty it is said that concerted movement
is on foot among the Congressman from St.
Louis, Chicago, and Cincinnati, to have those
cities made ports of entry with special priv
leges under which goods destined for these
points may, on arriving at Boston or New
York, be shipped West without breaking bulk,
the import charges to be paid when the goods
arrive at their place of destination. The Treas
ury Department has agreed 70 the project, and
it is believed that the House committee on
commerce will report favorably.
