GENERAL MEETING NEXT SUNDAY EVEN
ING.-The Portland Freedmen's Aid Associa-
ton held meeting esterday afternoon in the
Aldermens Room TO consider the question
whether it should continue its work in the
South another year. After being introduced
by Rev. j. L. Hewes, who stated the object OF
the meeting, Rev. Crammond Kennedy of New
York, mentioned as arguments in favor of the
continuance the following facts: That no
adequate provision has yet been made for pop
ular education in the South, that the schools
of the Freedmen's Commission Ito which the
Portland Society is auxiliary are standing
illustrations of the eagerness and aptness of
the freedmen to learn, that they are rapidly be-
coming self supporting, but are not able yet to
do without help, that the New York branch
alone has between four and five hundred pup
lis who are preparing to teach, fifty of whom
it wishes to employ as assistant teachers next
season, that this society from the first of next
October will have no salaried officers, and that
its labors have advanced and will advance the
best interests of the South, irrespective of race
or color, and the country at large.
After remarks by Revs. Mr.. Hayden, Frink,
Kent and Grimes, and Messrs. Geo. F. Talbot.
W. S. Dana, S. G. Hersey and S. R. Leavett, it
was resolved to continue the work in the So
ciety, to call public meeting to be addressed
by Mr.. Kennedy and others next Sunday even
ing in the City Hall, and to invite all the city
ministers and churches to attend.

IHE IONIC OPERA OF THE GRAND DUCHESS
This celebrated and mirth-giving Opera will
be rendered in City Hall next Monday evening
with full orchestra and chorus. This is mus
ical composition by j. Offenbaeh which never
fails to please all classes OF auditors, which
cannot be said of most operas. In this there
are beautiful melodies to which the best cult
waited ears listen with delight as well as those
whose knowledge of music is more limited.
The concerted pieces, the choruses, the da-
logues, the Rotations, the acting, the cos
tunes, the strutting, the jocose expressions, the
sentimental tones, the martial bearing, the
different grouping of the performers, the or
chestral accompaniment, all combine to make
q most exciting and interesting entertainment
1t is burlesque of the highest order and
none but real genius could have composed it.
We have not space to give the whole of the
argument" and scarcely an outline of it. The
first scene opens with soldiers, peasant girls,
vivandieres and others. The Grand Duchess,
an orphan, was brought up by minister OF
State who selected for her husband an inn
bercile scion of royal blood, but she didn fancy
him, and fell in love with soldier whom she
gradually raised to Commander in Chief,
much to the chagrin of the courtiers. This
scion of aristocracy she leases almost through
the play and makes him act like a fool. But
as i'll luck would have it, this soldier, on whom
she has conferred so many honors happens to
love peasant girl and this of course produces
some trouble in the camp. The soldier at last
weds the girl he loves and is deprived of all his
honors and returns with his wife to his native
village. There is conspiracy against him
which is we'll managed, but the Duchess does
not consent to the soldiers death. but to his
humiliation. She finally marries the .foCl
selected for her and revels in the charms Of
sovereignty as substitute for the raptures OF
love. The music and the acting in this opera
tells the whole story, and one hardly needs to
hear the words. Those who have heard it
speak in the highest terms of its wit and
humor. I ..-..-s

North Carolina Railroads,

We have seen a letter from q well known gentle
man residing in Asheville North Carolina, in which
ne speaks encouragingly Of the prospects of the
carly completion Of the railroad from that point to
Paint Rock. The Legislature of that State has Ia
ken action looking 10 granting aid to the road. A
new Board Of Directors has been chosen, and DIR.
Mott elected President. At an early day the work
viii be commenced at Paint Rock and let 10 Ashe-
Vile At the same time another route is 70 be
placed under contract, leading Westwardly TO
Ducktown. So IL will be seen that the old North
State is fully awakened on the subject Of internal
improvements. The completion of each of these
roads will be an important epoch in the history Of
East Tennessee They will pass through portions
of our country rich in agricultural and mineral re-
sources. They viii prove outlet for the produce
tiona Of country heretofore deprived of a market,
and win give an impetus to the energy and enter
prise Of the people which can never be aroused in
any other way. We will connect with North Car
oliDs at Paint Rock and chen cord Of interest viii
bind together the two sister States as nothing else
save an enterprise Of this character can. We con-
graduate the people Of that State upon their ener.
getic action, and hope the day is not far of when
the much desired object is attained.

The Master Liar Of the AGE.

We have before us the New York World of the

Court upon the constitEtionslity of the Franchise

An issue was Immediately made at law to try the

Court of Brownow's own appointment. The cause
came 10 a bearing in January, 1867, and the Court
after argument heard prepared decision against
the constitutionalty of the act majority concur
ring, which was shown in confidence 90 leading
members of the bar It is not denied that Brown
low straightway gave notice TO hs judges that such
decision would be disregarded, and be would en-
force the act by the bayonets of his loyal militia
whereupon the wratched creatures fairly backed
down, and wrote and delivered another decision,
declaring tho law constitutional We ask no more
than to DO challenged 10 proof of this statement.
We call the attention Of all parties 10 this vile
slsnder upon Judges Milligan, Hawkins aud Shack
leford who al that time composed the Supreme
Court They win al three testify upon oath, that
the Governor never said word TO either of them
upon the subject of sustaining the Franchise Law
Nor had the law organizing the militia At thai time
been enacted This reckless and unprincipled man
certainly did not expect printed copy of his speech
