A meeting was held at Deering Hall last
evening of those citizens opposed to the city's
subscribing for stock in the Portland & Og-
densburg Railroad The attendance was more
select than numerous Notwithstanding the at
traction of the Portland Band, which gave
some splendid music.
The meeting was called to order by Nathan
Cummings, Esq. who nominated John Mus
sey, Esq, as presiding officer. Mr. Mussey in
assuming the position made few remarks ex-
planatory of the object of the meeting, and ex-
pressing his disapprobation of the scheme pro-
posed in aid of the road.
Hon. L. D. M. Sweat was called for. But he
excused himself, and in some honied words in
troduced our fellow citizen, Jabez g. Wood
man, ESQ.,, as a imam who ever had the inter-
ests of Portland in his heart"
Mr.. Woodman promptly responded to the
call and addressed the audience, which began
to thin out as soon as he took the platform.
His address was rehash of the articles he
had published in the Argus, interlarded with
comments upon the Press for refusing to pub
fish them. The Press seemed to be weighing
heavy ON Jabez's brain, and he would bring it
in in almost every sentence. The small audi
ence bore the infection of his speech most
magnanimously.
Mr.. Woodman succeeded in thinning the
meeting. At the close of his remarks the
band played spirited tune, and John A. Poor
Esq, being called for addressed the few that
remained in the hall. Mr.. Poor was opposed
to the city's taking stock in the Portland &
Ogdensburg Railroad, and expressed his views
freely. He was followed by Hon. L. D. M
Sweat, who expressed his opposition to the
whole scheme, characterizing it as the work o.
spectators. At the conclusion of Mr.. Sweat's
remarks the meeting adjourned At no time
during the meeting were there three hundred
persons present

CITY AFFAIRs.-A special meeting of the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen was held Mon
day afternoon, at which a petition signed by
j. B. Carroll and some seventy other citizens
of Portland was presented, asking for gener-
al meeting of citizens to consider proposition
to extend aid to the Portland & Rochester
Railroad Company. The proposition to be
submitted is as follows:
To determine whether the city will raise by
tax or loan the sum of 100000 and appropri-
ate the same to the Portland & Rochester
Railroad Company, to aid the construction of
the road of said Company to Alfred. Prouid-
ed, That the aid to be extended to said Com
pany under any past or future vote shall not
exceed the sum of seven hundred thousand
dollars
To determine how the money shall be raised,
tax or loan; and
To determine in what manner and upon
what regulations and restrictions the same
shall be appropriated.
The prayer of the petition was granted, and
the warrant for the meeting is printed in
another column.

SOME people pretend that il we vote to-day
to take stock to the amount of $750,0OO in the
Ogdensburg road, the city will thereby become
bound to build it, whatever it costs. They say
they favor the enterprise and would willingly
vote to giue $750,OOO to the corporators, but
doubt the expediency of investing in it. Now
what do these wise heads mean? If the city
subscribes $4,000, who Or what can require
payment of a penny more than just $3.50 400?
If the managers of the enterprise should ask
for more, which is improbable, what would
hinder us from taking just the course these
gentlemen say they prefer-making them a
present of our subscription, and declining
to raise another dollar? If we agree to pay
$4,000, do people mean to say that by that
agreement we can become bound to pay any
thing more or less?

what will itCOste

We want the Ogdensburg road. Can we
afford it? People who oppose it, and believe
that taxes can be reduced by lessening our
trade and wealth and drawing away our sur
plus population, say it will cost six millions
from Portland to Connecticut, and great
deal more for rolling stock and equipment
generally. These estimates are based manly
on the relative price of beans in 1868 and 1874.
On the other hand the committee appointed
by the corporators to investigate this very
question report that they have received propo-
sitions from responsible parties, familiar with
the route, offering to take the whole. line from
Portland to the Connecticut for $4,000 mile
cash,or $31 900 a mile aifeash and half in the
company's bonds The stock subscription re-
quired to build the road will be accordingly
81 200 900, and the entire cost not over three
millions. These aresfacts, and cannot be shak
en- by ingenious reasoning from the price OF
beans in 1874. 1t is evident that if 81 100000
can be raised by stock subscriptions the bal
ance can easily be raised on the company's
bonds. One Of the propositions to build the
road offers market for bonds for so per cent
of its total cost. If Portland subscribes $780,
600 there will be left for private investments
Ptoo,OOU' IubU sum VIII De raised without Sc
rious difficulty. 1t would be impossible to
raise the whole amount, but half million will
probably be taken by individuals.
The road can be built then, if Portland does
her duty to-day. 1t remains to consider how
1t shall be equipped. We have been told re-
Gently that the equipment is going to be
very serious and costly business ana that on
the whole it would be advisable to have moth
ing to do with the undertaking, for fear that
after the road is built it may prove gigantic
failure for lack of cars and engines Does
anybody seriously imagine that there will be
any difficulty of this kind? Does anybody be-
lieve that the city of Portland will ever lie
called upon to buy rolling stock? If this is to
be great freight road, as no doubt it is, why
should not the company adopt the rule, COM
mon in the mining districts of England of re-
curing people doing heavy business on their
line to furnish their own cars on equitable
terms? In this way the companies avoid the
necessity Of keeping in repair the year round
large aggregate of rolling stock for use at
certain seasons when the business is largest
while shippers are spared the vexatious delays
to which under other systems they are often
exposed. There is no mystery or difficulty
about the equipment. Give us the road, and
the freight will not wait long for cars

THERE is not a railroad in the State which
would not pay a handsome dividend upon its

for money. If the Portland and Ogdensburg
road were built honestly by the commu-

larger business than the Central or the Port

BALTIMORE stretches two long arms across
the Alleghanies to the West-the Baltimore
and Ohio and the Central Pennsylvania Rail-
roads. These roads run over grades of ia, 126
40 feet to the mile. Because of these roads
it is possible to live cheaper and better in Bal
timore to-day than in any other Atlantic city.
VINO says that laboring men and mechanics
are not interested in the Ogdensburg enter
prise? Who says the 65 foot grade through
the Notch is an insuperable obstacle.
