which was to have been concluded on
Wednesday morning, when the case was

As the trial draws to close, rrlmors
from Washington are abundant. The

TIE PATENT FIRE EXTINGUIsHER
AGAIN.-A little before seven o'clock
Monday morning the chimney of Mr..
Elijah A. Bills house, on Church street,
was discovered TO be on fire. and in a
few minutes the flames, making through
a pipe hole in the wall, communicated
with some bedding in a chamber up
stairs, and the whole house was full of
smoke. Mr. BIS daughter, while the
family were making efforts to extinguish
the flames, ran to the police headquarters
and gave the alarm to officer Benson,
who shouldered the patent fire extinguish-
er in the office, and proceeded to the
house, and in few seconds the fire was
entirely put out. This is the second in
stance in which the thorough effective
ness Of this article has been proved in
this city, and in both instances the flames
had caught in such a place that they
could not have been eXtinguished by the
fire department without considerable
damage to the building and furniture.
The affair at Mr.. Bills yesterday morn,
ing was very narrow escape from de-
structive iire.-Noru7ch Gonna 4irertr

The court ot Impeachment, and the
popular enthusiasm Tor Gen. Grant, have
almost overshadowcd the fact that there
will probably be two candidates in the
field for next President-a Republican
and Democratic The Democratic con-
vention is called at New York the 4th of
July, and the efforts to get it changed to
some western city will probably fail.
This effort for change is supposed to be
in the interest OF Pcndleton, whose friends
consider his nomination sure if the con-
vention can be held in the west
But unfortunately for their chances OF
success, the Democracy are badly divided.
In fact there is much more difference be-
tween the copperhead and loyal Demo
Gratis than there Is between the latter anC
Republicans. And unless the Democra.
cy are united, what hope have they o.
success Perhaps Mr.. Vallandigham
may be called the leader of the copper
head Democracy, at least at the west.
He has newspaper of his own now,
and this is the way he talks to the loyal
portion OF the party east :
''But of one thing, in our deliberative
Judgment and deep conviction. all con-
cerned may rest assured and therefore

The RditrO0d.

We publish to day full report of the
Railroad meeting recently held in Port
land in the interest of the Portland and
Oglensburg railroad Considering the
various attempts that have been made to
direct the citizens of Portland to some
other route, it Is very gratifying TO the
friends OF the enterprise in this state to
lind their adherence to this route so
~tcadfast. 1t could hardly be otherwise.
Besides being the shortest possible route
from the lakes to the ocean, it Is an IN
dependent route in the interest of Port
land alone; and it is fully believed that
the property of Portland will be en-
HANGED in value by its construction, NOR,
than the entire cost of the road. We
learn from the citizens OF our place who
were present ut the meeting. that the en-
thusiasm and unamility of e citizens OF
Portland in favor Of this route was even
Greater than the report would indicate

Although we are further advanced in

with great Communications of the vast

express the greatest confidence that when

After the adjournment of the Senate
on Saturday, there was scene IN the
Uousc. which we are glad TO say. has
not been so frequent of late years, as
when the chivalry held sway there. One
Donnelly,'a member from Minnesota,
had been attacked by letter in a news
paper in his district, written by Mr.. T..
b. Washburne, 4 member from Illinois.
After Mr. Donnelly had caused Mr.. WASH
burne's letter to be read to the House,
he spent more than an hour in abuse Of
the author. the most scurrilous ever
heard in the capitol, so the reporters say
And as it was 50 bad that onl y the mos
respectable portions were reported at all
it is easily believed that it was so. Til,
following Is given as Il sample Of the de
cent portions of this TRADE:

To the credit of Speaker CoitaX,
may be said TO- he was frequently call
ed to order, but by the request OF Mr.
Washburnc, Donnelly was each time a
