ANOTHER FELICITY OF DEMOCRATIC LEGIs-
LATloN-The New York Assembly has passed
the Balloon resolutions" in favor of the tax
alton of government bonds and the payment
of the national debt in greenbacks. The prop
osition of extreme Radicals to confscate the
estates of Southern rebels is extremely honest
and creditable when compared with this high
wayman's resolution, but only a Republican

THEATRE.-Miss Emma Maddern was fa-
ored with crowded house last evening, it be-
ing her farewell benefit She appeared as Nip
Jiggles in the local drama of Nip, the Crow, or
New York in '6S. The piece was produced with
new scenery, and there were some very fine
scenes in the piece especially the destrrc lion of
the printing Office by fire. This is one of the
most natural scenes that was ever witnessed |;
but the manager has spared neither time or ex-
pense in producing this piecs. Miss Madden
played her character of Nip Jiggles as she does
everything else finely and no wonder she had a
good honse for her acting is the most life-like
of any star we have seen in Portland for many
days She seems to have the right conception
of the character she undertakes to personate,
and she does not overdo the character and re-
present what the author had no idea Of This
evening is positively the last night of her per-
formances in this city; but we hope the time
is not far distant when we shall again have
the pleasure of seeing her on the Portland
stage Tonight is positively the last night of
Nip the Crow and we have no doubt there will
be crowded house.

THE Republican and Democratic parties
have each Senator in Congress who brings
disgrace upon himself and upon his oonstltu-
ents by his Incorporate habits. The ILLINOIS,
senator, who has never in public made those
disgraceful exhibitions of himself for which
his Delaware associate is faTous, has never
theless been severely disciplined. The alter
native has been presented to him by his own
party which is concisely stated in the words
"behave or resign" He has accepted the
first proposition and will behave. There is
something, then, in the Republican party
mat coerces its members into good behavior.
Inere are disreputable men belonging 10 IL
no doubt, but they are not generally selected
for prominent positions on that account.
The false rumoIs of Grants intemperance
were sufficient to ALLEVIATE the respect and
support of some portion of the Radical par
ty, before they were conclusive Iy refuted.
Let us see how it is at the other end of the
line. Senator Salisbury is an unfortunate
man. Unlike Yates, he seems to be unable
to make even an attempt to reform. His con-
duct has been for years the disgrace of the
American Senate and like McDougal he glo-
rifles the wine-cup, instead of deploring his
weakness. AT recert session of Congress
Summer offered a resolution for his expulsion
but he was induced to forbear pressing it by
the entreaties of his wife and daugeters upon
the pledge that the resignation OF the inc
brate should make it unnecessary But that
promise has not been kept. Salisbury is still
Senator and still disgraces his high posi-
sion. He was recently cowhided by a rail-
while not word of reproach comes to him
from his constituents. The Democrats of
Delaware do not even ask him to resign.
When his term expires there is no intima-
ton that he will not be reelected. The moral
tone of the two parties may be inferred from
these striking facts.

ST. DOMINIC ScHooL.-Last Thursday eve
ming very large audience assembled at st.
Dominic Hall to witness a musical and drama
tic entertainment by the female students The
whole affair was admirably conducted, and the
girls performed the parts assigned them in ex-
celleLt style. The farce and operatta were
we'll done, and afforded fine entertainment
for the crowd assembled on the occasion We
have not space to speak more at length of this
performance. The speaking, acting and sing
ing were highly gratifying, and showed good
training on the part of the teachers and good
attention and aptness on the part of the pupils.

The farewell appearance of "Little Red
Riding Hood" last evening at City Hall was
an occurrence, the farewell part of which all
regretted who were present. 1t was certainly
most charming and attractive entertainment
and too good by far to be laid on the shelf till
more have had an opportunity to see it. Ger
tainly in the S. P. Society there is talent for
producing an entertainment of this kind, that
would do justice to a company that had made
life study 1T. We suggest that they give
us course of entertainments next winter The
"Snow Flake" cinderella" "Red Riding
Hood" and "May flowers" will all bear repeat
ing; and from these, together with the other
attractions that will be prepared by that time,
course of at least ten evenings could be ar
ranged. How much more benefit could be de-
rived from this than by paying money to trav-
cling cheap shows.
Both yesterday afternoon and evening there
was large and appreciative audience, and the
entertainment passed off very smoothly. All
were delighted; and taking the receipts at the
door, with those of the reception room, hand
some sum must have been realized. l
The tableaux throughout were beautiful, and
in the last scene were perfectly splendid
more so than anything of the kind ever before
exhibited in this city. The thanks of the pub
lie are due the S. P.'s for the charming enter
tainment which has been furnished

We learn from the Hallowell Gazette that
on the night of April 10Th an attempt was
made to burn the house of Mr.. n NJ. Stone,
one OF the special police of that city, which,
had it been successful would probably have
cost many lives. The means used was an in
fernal contrivance which may be described
thus: On flat piece OF rock weighing some
eighteen pounds, was placed piece of punk,
then layer of cotton, lot of matches and
three-fourths of pound of blasting powder.
These were bound to the piece OF rock by
strands of tarred rope, the punk was set on
tire and the whole thrown through window
into the kitchen of Mr.. Stones part of the
house. The mass in passing through the win
dow completely smashed the lower SASH and
broke panes of glass in the upper sash. 1t
was about eleven o'clock in the evening after
the inmates of the house had retired. Mr..
Stone was aroused from sleep by the noise
caused by the "torpedo" crashing through the
window, He Immediately went into the
kitchen, where he perceived the smell of burn
ing cotton, and quickly discovered on the floor
| the object which had aroused him. Not being
aware of the presence of powder in the slight
| ly burning mass, he threw the package out OF
the window, supposing at the moment that an
| attempt had been made to merely burn the
house. The fire in the package finally went
| out without ignitfng the powder, and subse-
| quently the mass was dssected and its mosi
dangerous ingredient brought to light. Had
| the powder exploded in the presence of any
| person, life must have been lost.
