A Row AT BELsHAzzAR's FEAsT-The
Washington correspondent OF the Boston Post
gives the following account of an unpleasant
ry' that occurred at the Democratic celebra-
ton of the 9Th of January in Washing
ton:
When President johnson rose to speak ex-
volunteer General McCook took a standing
position precisely between the President and
the seat assigned to your CORE spondent.
politely requested McCook to be seated in a
vacant chair in which he was resting his foot,
and he refused to comply. Mr.. Owen Thorn,
one of the managers Of the banquet, happen
ing to pass at that moment, called his atten-
ton to the rudeness of McCook and requested
that he be ordered down so as not to obstruct
the view of the correspo ndents. Mr.. Thorn,
who had special charge of the correspondents
tables, comprehending the situation, politely
requested McCook to be seated, stating his
reasons for making the request, but he persis-
ted in his exhibition OF bad manners, and your
correspondent again turned his attention to
the President, thinking no more of the mat
ter. He regrets to see announced in the eve-
ming parers personal rencontre between the
gentlemen named, during which blows passed.
make this explanation as a matter of jus tice
to Mr.. Thorn, who did but his duty ON the
occasion and did it in the politest manner pos
sible,-and atthe SPECIAL request of the cores
pondent of the Boston Post.
The Portland daily press., 1868-01-15

HE public will be glad when the foreign
steamship questions of the club" are all f.
lnally settled. There has been another rumor
of the sale Of the American Steamship Com
pany's Steamers, the Ontario and Erie,--this
time to Mr.. Van Rensselaer, Of New York.
But this is promptly denied. Another rumor
has panied currency that the Inman line, now
running between New York and Liverpool
would hereafter run direct from Boston, thus
making good "the lost Cunarders," but it
proves that the only foundation for the report
was the proposed establishment of an agency
in Boston by which the merchants Of that
city could obtain passage or freight by the In
man line rio. New York. This is only giving
point to the frank avowal of Charles Francis
Adams. Jr.; in the last number nf the North
American Review, that Boston is "a satellite
of New York" and an outlying province OF
Broadway" There is one consolation Tor
Boston, however, for loss OF foreign steamers
commercial and mercantile Importance, ana
for the great discredit attending the delay IN
completing the Hoosac tunnel anu Duildlng
the Boston. Hartford and Erie railroad. So
long az such publications as this very North
American" in which Mr.. Adams article APP
pears. are issued from the Boston press, that
city need tear no rival to dispute her literary
supremacy. This is no inadequate compepsa-
ton for loss of material greatness for scholars
would very much doubt if Imperial Rome,
that made all the world tributary to her cof-
fers in the days of her power, were greater
than the provincial Athens to which she sent
her citizens for literary and rhetorical Gull
ture,

When but a fortnight ago we announced the
appearance of a new luminary in the newspa-
per world, which was to throw into complete
eclipse all its contemporaries, we little thought
we should be called upon so soon "to speak at
its funeral" But the "Biddeford Times" is
dead. Its "three thousand exchanges" its
immense corps OF editors" its Especial dis
patches" from all parts of the world, (ria the
morning papers) and its army of subscribers
have all passed away like the baseless fabric
OF vision. We know not when the want of
appreciation on the part of narrow minded
populace has displayed itself in SO fragrant
manner. What! Could not that broad cos
mopoltan spirit that ignored humble provin-
cial ways command support for more than
ttoslce days? Have we indeed read the last of
those racy Boduggerisms," which lost but
tritie OF their point by transmission through
SCORE or SO of the three thousand exchanges?
Shall we never again have an opportunity for
intellectual gymnastics in constituting those lr-

that those sentiments were backed by infinite
capital!-cool thousands for every idea!-glit-
tering ducats for every paragraph! "Only O

one of the grammar schools in South Boston
was practising letter writing, youugster II
years old, who, it seems, was favored with a
bow from President johnson at the time Of
his entree into the "Hub" last June, was guilty
of inditing the following: "Mr. Johnson,-I

was the King of the Sandwich Islands.

for the repeal of the Internal Revenue tax on

no man we think acquainted with the matter
will question the Truth Of this) then certainly
it ought to be repealed. 1t is duty which
manufacturers owe to themselves to demand
it as right and persistently, earnestly and res
pectfully tospress the matter q successful is
sue. We ought not TO expect that if we re-
main inactive others will do the work for us.
The Cleveland National Convention have
taken the initiat0ry steps in the matter, and
they are press 'ns forward with energy; but to
secure speedy success there is something for
manufacturers in every congressional district
TO do-to place the question fairly before the
Representatives. in Congress 1t is to be
hoped that the manufacturers of Portland will
devote little attention to this subject and not
remain passive. and go on from month to
month, submitting to the unequal burden.
Let there be full attendance on Thursday
evening to consider this question of taxation
and also the expediency OF forming Manu-
facturers Association. S.
IA convention of New England manufacture
ers has been called to meet at Worcester,
Mass on the 22i of the present month. 1t
promises to be one Of the IN ost important de-
Lucrative bodies that ever assembled in New
England, and we hope that Portland manu-
facturers will not fail to send representatives
of their respective interests, and take part in
the movement indorsing the proceedings OF the
