Forney has formally read Fessenden and
Grimes out of the Republican party, We sus-
pect that neither the Senators named nor the
Republican party will take Mr.. Forneys iudg-
ment as final on that particular question:
Nor will the party thank Mr.. Forney for at
tempting to thrust out of its ranks men whose
whole lives have been the best illustrations of
Republican principles, simply because diff
ering from the great majority of the party on
this one question-they have thoughtir better
to bear the ills we have, than fly tn others that
we know not of.

Req. Roger S. Hoaodrd,
My Dear Sir,-I have the pleasure to ack-
nowledge the receipt of your letter OF the 28th
instant, aud to inform you that have received
from the hands of William Moulton, ESQ,
the painting referred to therein-a portrait of
the late Hon. Luther Jewets, former Collector
OF this port, and for many years a well-known
and much respected citizen of Portland. 1t
is very fine painting, and from my recolec-
ton OF Mr.. Jewett, L should say, a good like
ness, especially, think, from a side view. 1
shall be happy to give the picture favorable
position upon the walls of the principal room
OF the Collector, where it may be seen by our
people,. so many of whom, Notwithstanding
the period that has elapsed since his decease
retain pleasant and vivid recollection OF our
departed friend; and in their name as well as
in behalf of the officers of the customs con-
nected with this Office, 1 beg to thank Mrs.
Howard and yourself for your generous and
thoughtful present. Very truly yours,
Il. WASHBURN.

The Republicans who voted against impeach-
ment claim that they are as decidedly opposed
most earnest radicals, but they regard the trial
as a judicial aud not as political proceeding.

+ 1t is certainly humiliating to be betrayed
and cheated by those we have looked upon as
men above suspicion and above price, but as
the party has got used to fighting rebels and
traitors, having been engaged in the business
ever since it came into power, we have no
doubt it will survive the apostacy OF a few
weakened Senators, while tina names of the
apos tates will be held in the same estimation
as those OF Arnold, jeff. Davis, A. johnson,
and their ilk, the world over.

regret the course he has taken, we do not for

any kind in any way affected his vote, and we
doubt if any of his constituents have expert
enced keener regrets on account of his course
than he has from the necessity that compelled
him to take such a course. A year hence, with

A FALSE ALARM.-It does not appear that
the seven Republican Senators who voted for
the acquittal of the President are regarded by
their associates in Washington as having
placed themselves outside the pale of the Re-
publican party, the rumors to the contrary not
withstanding. These unpleasant rumors have
created some alarm among Republicans and
considerable exultaton among the Democrats,
especially that relating to the breaking up of
Republican caucus, Thursday morning. The
truth about that particular matter may be
gathered from the following Washington dis
patch to the Boston Advertiser:
The story telegraphed to several newspapers
last night that there was row in the Senate
caucus, and that Messrs. Wade, Chandler Cat
tell and others withdrew, because several of
the Republicans who voted for impeachment
were present, appears to have no foundation
whatever. Mr.. Cattell was not at the caucus
at all, not reaching the capitol until a few
minutes before the Senate met, and after the
caucus had adjourned to Monday; Mr.. Wade
denies having left the caucus except because
of duties in the Vice-President's room; Mr..
Chandler was present, but said nothing
against the presence of Messrs Trumbull,
Henderson and Ross. The object OF the eau
Gus did not seem to have been understood,
and a quorum did not appear. Those earliest
on the ground waited some time and talked
obont the question of filling the vacant secre-
taryship of the Senate in an informal manner,
and finally Mr.. Chandler moved an adjourn
meut saying that he supposed the Senators
did not know what the caucus was for, and
that it was desirable that there should be a
full atten dance when the vote was taken. He
regretted that the question had been put and
carried and then with all the other senators
retired from the caucus 1t cannot in fact be
learned to day by careful inquiry that any OBJ
lection was raised to the presence Of Mr..
Trumbull and his associates, all of whom were
invited in the usual manner, and most if not
all of whom will attend on Monday to aid in
selecting new Secretary from the numerous
candidates who want the place.

AUGUSTA,

rebate By K,sts Farley snd Stevens
Cumberland County Court Bill.

[slecla Dispatch by International Lne.l .
AUGUSTA, Jan. The Constabulary Law
came up to day in the Senate to be engrossed
Nj. Farley OF Lincoln, (Democrat) moved as
an amendment, the repeal OF all legislation of
last session, relating to the prohibitory laws
which, after some explanation and discussion,
was ruled out of order by the President. Mr..
Farley then offered az an mendment sIlbstan-
italy as follows: That pending suits in court
based on the action of the State Constabulary
should be released and dismissed from further
trial. He then proceeded in an earnest man
ner to give his views of the legal regulation of
the sale of liquor, and expressed him self
strongly against prohibition and in favor of IL
cense. He was listened TO with merited at
tention, and his efforts seemed to give salts
faction to his friends. He said that as long as
law and public sentiment allows the purchase
of liquor, because the act of itself is right tenn
perance men must fail in their present course
OF action. Prohibition, to be consistent, must
De superstructure ON basis, that ii is as
wrong to buy as to sell. The improved state
OF society in regard to drinking was entirely
independent of the results of the compulsatory
laws, but that society had become better in
this respect in spite Of this retarding force
Prohibition was impossible, and if coercion
were used revolution would follow; that lib
eral legislation must follow sooner or later the
present state of affairs.
MIR. Stevens of Kennebec followed In his
usual earnest manner. He was not in favor of
post faeto legislation, and considered the
amendment as a species of it. He warmly
defended prohibition and its friends. He con-
sidered that the consta5ulary law was o step
in the wrong direction, and he was DESTROYS of
retrac1ne it. He furnished some eloquent
passages from the past history of the country,
when too much haste had brought about seri-
Gus consequences. He finally expressed his
views on the course and principles of the
Democratic party. taking as a text a remark
OF Mr.. Farleys. This was the occasion of
turning the debate into n political issue, in
which NJ. Stevens aud Mr.. Farley alone an
gagged, and which was carried on in an earnest
and spirited manner until adjournment.
HoUsE.-The County Court bill was called
up, and the motion made was to indefinitely
postpone by Mr.. Stetson of Exeter and this
motion was laid on the table and assigned for
next Wednesday. The prospect of its passage
through both branches Is good.
