The Portland daily press., 1868-03-24

The philosophical citizen who enquired
through tho Argus few weeks ago, if it was
true that the City Hall and the North School
House had cost the taxpayers of Portland
$4,000, will be gratified to learn from Mayor
McLaIlan's address that the cost of these two
creditab'e buildings has been only $4,000.
The actual increase of the city debt during
the eleven mouths ending on the 29th Febru-
airy has been S36,217. This increase, as the
Mayor observes, was rendered necessary by
the deyastations Of the fire Of 1866. So far as
our corporate losses are concerned, we now
know the worst. The public buildings are re-
storeI. The streets are re-opened. The last
isstalment of the temporary debt for bounties
to volunteers has been paid, so that this item
which for the last four years has increased
our taxes by SS0,SOo annually, disappears for
good. 1t does not appear therefore that the
debt is likely to be increased during the com
lag year but on the contrary it will be dimin-
ished. 1t is under these encouraging circun-
stances, and with the city bonds two or three
PER cent. higher in the market than those OF
any other city in the State, that Mayor Nc
Lellln enters upon his administration. He
advises that every reasonable facility be al
forled to the Water Company; that the legal
controversies of the city be left as far as posi-
bic to referees, to avoid needless delay and ex-
pense; and particularly that the expenditures
of the year be strictly limited by the appro-
priatlons. He expresses some doubt about the
proposed change of the loan of credit to the
Portllnd and o .densburg railroad into per-
manent investment in the stock of the road,
but does not question the great advantage TO
the city of a controlling interest in that enter
prise. The address is a very clear and BUSH
ness-lke exhibit of the present condition OF
the corporation; the few recommendations are
soand and practicl,; and We doubt not that
year hence the few promises which the Mayor
makes will be found to have been more than
raaliz ID

to this county his good mother was obliged
to send the grave old Duke of Newcastle with
him to keep him ont OF mischief. His youngt
brother, Alfred, che sailor prince" is not
accompanied by Mentor in his ramblinss

The announcement yesterday morning of
the sudden death of Henry P. Lord. ESQ.
Treasurer and Collector Of this city, took peo-
pie by surprise and caused unusual sadness
throughout the city. 1t was not eenera,lv
known that he was confined to his honse. rs
he was out on Wednesday last. His health
has teen somewhat feeble for the past year,
and sudden cold contracted by him about a
week since brought on prostra;ion. He was
not considered in any danger, and on Sunday,
when friend called to see him, appeared
cheerful and happy, sending messages to vlri-
Gus friends. b, dropped off quietly and
c,mly on Sunlay night, at the age of AZ
years,
"L.ke enc who wraps the draperV of his couch
And Les dowA 10 easant dreams"
The deceased was the youngest child of the
late William Lord, who for long period was
Treasurer and Collector of this city. For
thirty-seven years, with the exception of the
years 1912, 1852, 1876, and 1860 the father and
son have held the Office. The father was first
elected to the office in 1881, the last year that
we were under town government. He was
successfully reelected until 1912 when Will
liam Moulton, Esq, superseded him. But
MIR. Moulton kept Mr.. Lord in the office to per.
firm the labors of it, and in 1S43 he wa'
again elected to his old position. He was
then re elected every year until 1852, when Mr.
James I. McCobb was elected to the place.
When Mr.. A1cCobb took the office he found
Henry there as clerk, and he co ntinued
him in that stu ltion. In 1858 Henry was
elected Treasurer and collector and with the
exception of the year 1856 and 1860, in which
years Mr.. j. S. Palmer was tltottd has
held the office ever since. He was reelected to
the office for the present year on the OH IN
slant.
The long and faithful services of the de-
ceased in the Office had given him such a
thorough knowledge of the bushes, as 40
other man possessed. And hence there was
little or no opposition to wllvi Ig the doctrine
of"rotation in office" in his case, and year
after year he, like his father never met with
! any serious opposition on that score But
more than that, his Il leity 10 the trust re-
posed in him, his skill and integrity in man.
aging the ins noes of our city, his uniform
courtesy and politeness to all who had bus
ness IN the Off 80 had given him SO strong q
hold among the people, without distinction OF
party, that there never was any disposition ia
bring out a candidate against him.
The death of Mr.. Lord is q calamity to onr
city and our citizens feel it to be so. The grief
is general and not confined 10 the political
party with which he acted. He has been
taken away in the prime of his years. He has
gone down to The grave with character any
one might envy and has left vacancy in the
community that is not easily to be filled.
The deceased was the last surviving male
child of the family. He leaves young wife,
an aged and infrm mother and two sisters to
mourn his less. He was to them their all and
to him they looked up for earthly aid. Their
trust now must be in higher power.

The most sacred duty devolvin. upon this
generation is unquestionlby the care of the
fitherless childcen left by our soldiers and
sailors. 1t is not only due 20 the slcred mam-
DRY Of the deal but to thu sacred future of the
Republic for which they die1. N LITERAL pros
perity cannot make this country to be proud
Of except SO far as such prosperity is basis
for the deveiopm mt ola n o5ler national char
acter. It is the men and women who are to
dwell here wio ara hereafter to maintain the
glory of the American name. IT these chill
dreu are properly iurtructed, as they. would
have been if tn cir fathers had lived, they will
repay thous md fJlI the care bestowed upon
them. If they are neg;ecte they Will assur-
cdy repay the neglect and wrong to which
without fault of theirs they are subjected
Pensions only partially supply their needs
Every reader knows of cases where the aid af-
forled by the government is inadequate to Sc
cure such an education as these children de.
serve.
An association for the purpose of establish
ing a national HOMESTEAD for orphans of this
class was formel in 1855. Ample grounds
have been secured on Cemetery Hill, at GET
tysburg, Pennsylvania, and funds have been
raised for the purpose of erecting buildings
Bishop Simpson of the Methodist Episcopal
Church is now the president of the associa-
ton, which however is not under the control
of any denomination or State but in the hands
of the patriotic people of the nation. The
building now in use affords shelter to about
fifty orphans from different States, while ap-
plications are on file for the admission of five
hundred more. The Sunday Schools have
been doing good work in this matter Each
school which contributes $25 or more becomes
shareholder, and is entitled to elect a SOL
dier's orphan-whether a member of the
school or MOTTO become beneficiary at the
Home. The contribution Of $50 makes tho
contributor life member and 500 life-di-
director of the association. Donations are
publicly acknowledged every month.
Such is, briefly, the plan of this excellent
charity. 1t is hardly necessary to add that
the Homestead" is In no way connected with
the Gettysburg Asylum for Disabled Soldiers
which has obtained such an unfortunate noto-
riety oflate. Agents are now canvassing the
country to obtain means to provide for the
