ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
New YORK, April 22-The Tribune's
Montreal special says the order for the
withdrawal of the British troops from
Canada in May next, is said by well in
formed persons to be held in allegiance
for a while. There will be, however,
considerable changes in the military
stations, and one change both curious
and unaccountable, is the transfer of
troops from Montreal to Quebec, which
has been ordered The general order
from the Horse Guards directing the
return Of the regiments to England and
foreign stations, has never been with
drawn and considerable uncertainty pre-
walls in consequence.
The dispatch from London saying the
United States had made demand upon
the British Government for an explaDa-
ton of the Mary Lowell case is looked
upon as an another speck of war.
The French Canadians continue to
leave for the United States.
The annexation question is still agi.

SNOW MAINE.

In Franklin county the roads are full
of snow, and all the travelling is upon
runners, though from the depth of the
snow it is nearly impossible to get about.
The ground has been covered uninterrup-
teddy since the Sth ofNoyember, a period
of160 days. The oldest inhabitant has
hardly experienced such winter. The
cattle and sheep in many cases seem to
be suffering from disease, the sheep par
ticularly not being able to sustain their
lambs. Many farmers attribute this to
the fact Of having been kept from the
ground for so long time The snow re-
naming so long time on the ground
would afford the farmer a discouraging
prospect, but for the fact that in the intes
rior there is no frost on the ground, and
work can be commenced as soon as the
water dries from the surface.-Lel0fs-

Contracts, etc.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-Private adj
vices have been received here announc,
ing the death Of Capt. Henry A. Wise,
formerly Chief Of the Bureau of Or
dinancs Of the Navy Department. he
died at Naples on the LIST inst.
The Secretary of the Treasury will res
ceive sealed proposals for the purchase
of gold until noon Of Thursday next, in
sums Of not less than $1,000; payment
may be made either in United States
notes or three per cent. certificates. The
successful bidders will be required to de-
post five per cent. Of the amount Of the
purchase on the day of the sale. Like
proposals will be received every Thurs
day until otherwise ordered.
Official advices by mail have been re-
ceived by the Navy Department from
Admiral Hoff, in which he says that,
wishing to ascertain if any expedition
from this country has landed or attempted
to land on the Island of Cuba, he hal
made complete cruise and was unable
to discover any information Of such exs
petition. This disposes, therefore, of
the story that an expedition had landed
with Gen. Stee1man at its head in Cuba.
The contracts for carrying the mails
through the United States have been
awarded. This has been tedious job.
The prices range higher this year than
they ever did before. There were about
10000 bids on hand.

MR.. LOHNSON,s SPEECH.


AS Mr.. League ceased Mr.. johnson
remarked that not being aware of the
contents or nature Of the address before
hand,,he was not prepared to give suita-
BILE and heightened reply, except to offer
his sincere thanks, and to express hi s
gratitude to the association for their COM
plimentary address, and the cordial LAM
guage in which it was couched, and in a
conversational way to refer briefly to a
few considerations referred to in the ad>
dress.
In Congress in 1916, ten years prior
to the time mentioned in your address
as the period when opposed the Know
Nothing party, l opposed the same hos
tile and intolerant spirit which was in
existence at that period.
In assuming the attitude l then took,
| acted contrary to my interest, but act-
ing on principle and guided by integrity,
/ sought not Self-interest, but only the
maintainance of right and constitutional
liberty, and in the year 1855, when the
spirit Of direct opposition to religious lib
erty was rampant did, as you assert in
| your address, oppose 1t with all my
might. 1t would have been far easier
to have gone the other way, and decidedly
more advantageous to me. My course
was rerlete with difficulties, and it wa:
no light matter to contend against the
evil and malignant combination tha
then existed in so powerful form.
was further representing a congressional
district in which there were very few
foreign born citizens to whom coult
look for sympathy or support, and con
sequently l could have no motives OIL
the occasion except love of true liberty
And it strikes mo with peculiar forc'
that the same issues are again as prOmi,
nently before us as they have been q
that period; that the same temper, tn
same mahgnity, and the same unchris
tan spirit are in existence at the presen
day, only more intensified.
