PILFERING.-The house of John O'Brien,
on Maple street, was robbed of various
small articles on Wednesday night by
party of dead beats, who took board there
apparently for that especial purpose. One
of these fellows, James Sullivan, was cap
tured and taken before the Mayor. AS the
articles stolen were not of sufficient value
to make out a larceny case. the Mayor sent
Sullivan to the City Prison in default OF
payment of fine of $50.

DISTRESSING Suicide
A School Teacher Cuts
His Throat.
A CASE OF UNREQUITED LOVE!

About O'Clock last evening the city was
startled with the announcement that Rob-
ert Clemens, teacher in the German
school of this city, had committed suicide
at his residence, No. al South High street,
by severing the arteries in his wrist and
cutting horrible cash in his throat.
Mr.. Clemens was a man of great talents,
and was highly respected by our citizens.
He was widower, and leaves four or five
children. The cause of this rash act is said
to be tho rejection of his addresses by a
lady of whom he was passionately fond.

debates of the 3sth Congress may satisfy him.
self on this point.
On the 10Th of June, 1864, the amendment
for the abolition of slavery being under con-
sideration, Mr.. Pendleton made speech from
which we make the following extracts:
NEITHER THBEE-FoURTHs OF THE STATES
NOR ALL THE STATES SAVE ONE, CAN ABOLISH
SLAVERY IN THAT DISSENTING STATE.
But if this amendment were within the con-
stitutional power of amendment; if this were
proper time to consider it; if three-fou
OF the States were willing to ratify it; and if
it did not require the fraudulent use of power
either in this House or in the Executive de-
partment to secure its adoption, I aoould still
resist the passage Of this resolution.
What say you to this, freedom-loving citi-
zens Of Maine, Was there in all the South.
at any crossroads GROCERY of the Confederacy
any brutalized whskey-soaked, balf-civilized
scion of chivalry who proved himself a more
emit tool of labor owning aristocracy than this?
Mr.. Pendleton comes to Maine as the champi-
on of the laboring man.
But we have not yet done with Pendleton's
pro slavery madness. The resolution failed on
which he made his speech of June Is, 1864
On the 18th day of January, 1865, the recon
sideration of the previous action on the
resolution was under discussion when the fol.
lowing colloquy took place between Mr.. Pen
dleton and the late Thaddeus Stevens:
Mr.. Stevens. Suppose that three fourths of
the States now ratify an amendment while
the remaining fourth do not, are the States re-
fusing to ratifv still members of the Union?
Mr.. Pendleton. That will depend upon the
character OF the amendment and whether it is
in pursuance of the authority granted.
Mr.. Stevens. If the amendment should be
adopted by three fourths of the States while
the other fourth refuse to ratify it, do the non
agreeing States 60 out of the Union or remain
in it?
Mr. Pendleton. If the amendment be with
out the scope of the power granted, legally
they remain in the Union, and the other States
go out. [Laughter.l
Hence it appears that the States that rati-
fed the 18th amendment to the constitution
are out of the Union, while those alone that re.
fused to do so are in. This may be sound doc
trine, but we believe different one prevails il
this latitude. What does Mr.. Pendleton NEAR
by coming to Maine for the purpose of help
ing the Copperheads carry State that is not
in the Union?

A citizen of Tennessee, writing to an ipflu.
entail friend in Washington, says that the reb
ell Generals who recently met in Nashville are
the real leaders of the Ku-Klux Khan, land that
after establishing reign of terror in Tennessee
tneir uiterlor object is to force the negroes OF
the Iun states to vote the Seymour and
Blair ticket. The land holders in Tennessee
as wen as IN MISSISSIPPI are generally threat
ening that they will not employ colored men
who favor the Republican ticket. The wr;tor
adds that unless some thorough and decided
action is taken to vndicate the rights and
privileges of the blacks Tennessee must surely
be lost.
If the people should elect Seymour, it would
be saying to the rebels: "We are sorry we
whipped you; and as proof of our repentance,
we have elected a man who was sorry all the
time we were whipping you; to prove our sor-
rows We have repudiated the leader of the ar
mics by whom you were whipped.

PENDLEToNIANIsMs.-On the 18th of Janu.
airy, 1861, the gentleman who is to speak at
City Hall tonight said:
SIR, THE WHOLE SCHEME OF COERCION IS I'M
PRACTICABLE. IT Is CONTRARY TO THE GENIUS
AND SPIRIT OF THE CONSTITUTION.
In the same speech he made the following
declarations:
My voice to-day is for Cancellation; my voice
is tor compromise: and it is but the echo of
the voice of my constituents. I beg you, gen.
tiemen, to hear that voice. If you will not; if
you find Cancellation impossible; if your diff
ferences are so great that you cannot or will
not reconcile them, THEM GENTLEMEN, LET
THE Seeding STATES DEPART IN PEACE LET
THEM ESTABLISH THEIR GOVERNMENT AND
EMPIRE, AND WORK OUT THEIR DESTINY AC-
CORDING TO THE WISDOM WHICH GOD HAS
GIVEN THEM.
Then he grew maudlin, and spoke thus:
would signalize their departure BY TOKENS
OF LOVE; 1 would bid them farewell so TEN
Derby that they would be forever touched by
the recollection of it!

to assist in the work of firing the Southern

hnpnattc AestihnOuy from ADMIRAL For.
ter.
A letter from Hon. E. G. Squier from Rich
field Springs to Frank Leslie's Illustrated
Newspaper, shows what Admiral Porter thinks
OF Gen. Grant and what he says of his habits:
Admiral Porter is a visitor at this modest
watering place-the quietest and least obtru-
sve OF its quiet summer denizens, who discuss
political affairs with moderate zeal, and on
whom the fiery appeals of the partisan press
fall with no more startling result than is indi-
Gated in the following observation from we'll
conditioned retired merchant of our own city,
"Ot course" said this worthy representative of
an important class, we must elect Grant, es-
pecially in view of the new revolution now
threatened by the Rebels and their sympa-
thizers;. but what pity that the General
drinks"
The promulgators of the allegation against
the General would have skunk away under the
frown of the brave and bronzed sailor, when he
exclaimed in reply:
"Sir, pronounce the story of Gen. Grants
intemperance a tasehood. have known him
since the commencement of the war Our re-
lations while cooperating on the Mississippi
were intimate. They were equally Intimate
on Hampton Roads, on the James River, and
on the Potomac; Iney have been SO since the
war, both in Washington and AnnapoIs. I
have shared his hospitality, and he has accent
ed mine. l have met him under all cirenm-
stances of fatigue and Of festivity, in sunshine
and IN storm, In dependency and in danger,
and have had every opportunity of learning
his habits and knowing his conducts and say
that, during the whole period of my acquaint-
anceship with him, l have never known him
to taste, nor have l ever hear of his touching
Intoxicating liquors of any kind, not even
wine. In common with all the officers of the
army and navy who have served with General
Grant and shared his intimacy, | have been
both shocked and outraged in reading and
hearing this allegation against him; and had
my position been different, and had it not been
that my motives might be misunderstood or
misrepresented, l would long ago have de-
nounced the SANDER on GeD. Grant as it de-
serves. Irepeat, Gen. Grant is decidedly n tenn
perate man, in principle and in practice Yes,
sir, and those who hear me may repeat what
say to you, on my authority as an officer and
man."

The Ba.c Bali Championship.

The game between the Eons of Portland and
the Penneseewasses of Norway, for the state
championship and the silver ball, came on at
Norway, on the Fair grounds yesterday. There
was a large concourse of people in attendance
but not so large as there would have been had
the admission to the grounds been free. "A Zee
of twenty-fi cents for admission was charged.
There was large number of Portland people
present. and others from Lewiston, Brunswick
and other places besides those towns in the inn
mediate vicinity of Norway.
The game was called about ten o'clock. The
Eons won the toss, and sent the Penns to the
bat, who succeeded in scoring two. The Eons
then went to the bat and scored a like number.
On the second inning the Penns. scored one,
and the Eons three. On the third, the Penns.
were choked and the Eons scored three. The
fourth resulted in choke for both. On the
fifth both clubs scored two. On the sixth the
Penns scored one and the Eons two On the
seventh each side scored one. On the eighth
the Penns. scored one and then choked the
Eons On the ninth and last inning, the
Penns scored two and the Eons one, deciding
the game in favor of the Eons by a score of IA
to 10 for the Penneseewasses.
1t was the sharpest and most holly contest
ed game ever played in this State, and every
one present acknowledged the skill displayed
on both sides. The umpire was Charles Ray,
"a Uur -ouwuoln Oiup, mI,o
est impartiaity.
The Eons, as we'll they might felt proud of
their victory in in wrestling back the silver
ball. and their friends rejoiced with them.
In coming home procession was organized
by the Portland bows in the cars, and Mr.. G. j.
Pencil was appointed Marshall, and Messrs
J. E. Fernald, jr., Fred. E. Allen and Henry
P. Ward, Aids Arriving here about half past
nine o'clock, they were received at the depot
by the second nine of the Eons and their
friends, with the Portland Band, and, the pro-
cession was formed. They marched to the Eons
club room, escorting the first nine and follow
ed by great crowd. AS they passed the Pre-
BILE House, they were saluted with q handsome
display of fireworks furnished by Mr.. William
Allen. After escorting the Eons to their rooms,
the second nine and their friends then again
escorted them to Barnum's saloon, Lancaster
Hall, where they partook eff fine collation..
1t will be seen by our business notices, that
the Eons have already three challenges to
meet.
The time of the game was four hours and
fifty minutes. The details of the innings are

THE PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-Mr. Bowles of the
Springfield Republican who has recently ex-
amined the Pacific Railroad in company with
Speaker Colfax, speaks thus of an important
change OF purpose on the part of the persons
who are engaged in its construction:
Another guarantee of the faithful building
of this great road, for which the government
has given such bountiful grants lies in the fact
that its builders and present owners have late
ly come to the conclueion that it will be worth
keeping and running as we'll as worth build
ing. Heretofore they have probably justified
the suspicion that they would abandon it to
the first mortgage bondholders, after securing
the great profits of the construction; but the
large and profitable commercial business al
ready pouring in upon the road, and the meal
culable value of the land grants in the future,
haze combined to produce a change of feeling
and purpose, which is manifest in an improv-
ed construction and a general eye to perma-
nency of possession, This is an important as
well as significant indication, and, 1 believe, a
correct one,

they have organized Ku-Klux Khan in that
city.
We do not approve the course of the Boston
Radical who interrupted Seymour in his
speech by addressing him as "blessed old
Copperhead." The Democrats can beat us ten
to one in scurrility and blackguardism be-
cause the most of them have no selfrespect
and have no characters to lose.
The Bangor Wing pronounces the monster
demonstration" in Bangor on the occasion of
Pendleton's speech failure. The great pro-
cession, of which the Copperhead journals
make so much account, numbered 2S1 by actu-
al count and it was only by the most acti We
exertions that so many could be obtained.
The Bangor Wing tells the following good
story: o.
The two Conventions, Republican and Cop
perhead. were advertised to meet at City Hall
Wednesday. Two Democratic delegates, not
hearing that the Democrats had concluded to
change their place of meeting, dropped in to
the Republican Convention while the Hon.
Lewis Barker was speaking. They applauded
Justify, bringing their brogans down with a
noise resembling juvenile thunder. AT last
one of them burst out-"Jim, we are sold
These amt Democratic noses" The other re-
sponded, forgetting that he had just been APP
plauding lustily,'T knew all the time he was
no Democrat. I never heard such an internal
lot of nonsense in all my life." And they left
to find the right color of noses.
At grand Republican mass meeting in
Bangor next Tuesday General Sickles, Ex.
Senator Cresswell of Maryland and Hon
Matthew Fl. Carpenter of Wisconsin will be
present. Extra trains at half fare will run on
the railroads leading to Bangor.
