DETENTION OF TRAINS.

WOMAN SUrFRAGE.-The Senate Committee
on Legal Reform has reported in favor of re-
ferring the matter of woman suffrage 70 the
next legislature. The session is now SO far ad-
vanced that we fear there is little hope of fa-
vorable consideration of the subject, though the
action Of the committee should not be regard
ed as indicating the general sentiment of the
Legislature. The attention of members is so
much occupied with private legislation and
railroad wars" that it has no time for matters
of real Importance. Why cannot we have gen.
eral laws that will remove the necessity of so
much private legislation, as Indiana does?

Letter from PittsGieId.

PITTsFIELD, Feb. 16, 1869.
To the Editor Of the Press:
Since wrote you from this place, Messrs.
Dobson & Davis, who leased the new factory
here have commenced manufacturing Scotch
tweeds and shawls and will soon give employ
ment to 1000 hands. This town has adopted
liberal policy, not only voting not to tax the
improvements of manufacturers for term OF
years but has loaned its credit for $4,000 to
aid the enterprise. 1t will thereby increase
its valuation and business, employing its val
liable water power and adding to the value OF
every farm by furnishing a ready m arket ior
all their productions. Those towns that refuse
70 encourage enterprises on which business,
winch adds to the material wealth of every
section OF the country, depends, will find
when it is too late that there is a Withholding
which tends to poverty.

1t has large hall connected with it which

in the business and will leave nothing undone
to please the travelling public.
DETENTION OF TRAINS.
The snow and rain of yesterday formed a
crust that the snow plows could be put through
only very slowly. The Maine Central train
from Bangor, was nearly on time at Water
vile, but got off the track near Winthrop and
was detained several hours. The train from
Portland was about three hours late. The
Portland and Kennebec train which very rare
ly fails to be on time, was stopped at Winslow
in consequence of the snow plow getting off
the track and was about three hours Late
These two roads have failed only in very few
instances during the winter to make their reg
ular connections
THE MAINE CENTRAL INSTITUTE.
The work on the building is progressing
finely and it will be ready for occupancy
about the first of May when the summer term
will commence. @.

GEN RosENCRANZ AND THE MEXICAN News.
There have been several unsatisfactory re-
ports lately of grave charges about to be
made or that had been alleged against
Gen. Rosencranz, United States Minister to
Mexico. recent letter from the Mexican
capita! says:
Some person of high official position
have recently been endeavoring to make
capital among the nnti Catholic portion of
the people of the United States, by slyly
circulating report that Gen. Roscncranz
had recently made some official interference
in behalf of few aged nuns, in regard to
whom Governor BaZ recently issued an
order prohibiting them from living toge-
ther, even to the number Of three. The
original decree on this subject was issued
for the purpose of breaking mp this cloister-
ed organization, but permitted families to
receive them to the number of three, in
order to give them means of living The
new decree or order requires still further
separation, and bore severely upon the
nuns, as the number OF wealthy families who
would consent to receive and support them
singly is not sufficient to meet the case.
1.-The fact, if fully inquired into and
honestly stated, will bo found to be MS fol-
lows: On one occasion recently, after the
transaction of official business, Gen. Rosen-
cranz stated to Mr.. Lerdo that he had been
applied to by party representing these un-
fortunate nuns, and requested to see if he
could not induce some one having the au-
thority to secure the withdrawal Of the
order of Governor BeZ The appeal made
to Lerdo by Gen. Rosencran.. had no Off cial
character, and could not have been so un-
derstood by the former. 1t was simply aD
appeal of u Christian gentleman in behalf of
an unfortunate class of aged females VIII ON
many think the Government are prosecut-
ing under the false impression that by so
doing they establish their devotion to libe-
ralism "
