With all our BRILLIANT expectation for the flu
ture, which 1 believe to be well founded, Port
land at this time is suffering for lack of capitals
need not go into particulars as to the reason
for this, though the losses by the great FIRE,
have had much to do in this matter. Another
cause of the scarcity Of money among people
ofsmall means, is the absorption of money by
the Savings Banks, and the attractions Of the
o. s. Government bonds. This state ofthings
must continue until the industry of the coun-
try relieves us of the more pressing burdens OF
the war. y Isie ft fsa up
+ What Portland now wants, is railroad con-
nections with the West. In the carrying out
of our several railroad projects, one principle
should be kept constantly in view,-the utili-
cation of all existing capital now invested in
railroads. For example, the Maine Central
Railroad Comp any would be guilty of crimi-
nal act, if they should undertake to build an
independentline from Danville into Portland,
unless forced to do so by the unreasonable
course of the Grand Trunk Railroad Compa-
ny. Tho present arrangement is in every re-
spect liberal, and satisfactory, and can UNI
doubleday be continued. An equally criminal
act would be committed by the Portland and
Ogdensburg Railroad Company, if they should
attempt the building of an independentline in
to Portland in case the Portland and Roches-
ter line could by any possibility be made use
Of Let all our capital be used in the first in
stance to bring new business to Portland
leaving to future day with more ample
means, the construction of new lines into the
city. B l4ts PUBLIC Coon.

The business Of Portland remains nearly the same

II the connerheads of Maryland DON t soon
find themselves in trouble, and come to the
conclusion that there is ICED in Israel" then
we mistake the effect of the adoption Of the
fifteenth amendment upon the politics of the
State and the spirit of the times.
The Democracy OF that State is celebrated
alike for its disloyalty and want Of common
sense. Blind to its own interest. the interests
of the commonwealth and the interests of the
nation, it has taken counsel only of its un-
reasoning preiudices and foolish PASSIONS
When Gov. Swami apostatized, the foothold Of
Repubficanism was lost, and the State, bound
and and foot, was passed over into the keep
ing Of set of politicians. whom fear alone re-
strained from being as malignant, as revenge
ful, aud as rebellious as any who ever met in
the Confederate conclave. @otT sH5aa
Since then, an avowed rebel has been elect
ed Governor, and prescription to Union men,
and the utmost hostility toward the blacks,
has been the older of the day. They even at
tempted, under color Of a State law, to reduce
the negro TO a condition which was slavery in
everything but name.
They now see the handwriting on the wall,
and begin to realize, in view of the great
change to be wrought in their State by the
adoption of the fifteenth amendment, that they
have carried the matter too far. With forty
thousand negro votes added to the white Re-
publican vote, old Maryland must swing from
its copperhead moorings into line with tie Re-
publican States.
Seymour received g., 600 votes in that State
last fall Grant got 10000. Allowing nothing
for the removal Of the pressure upon the Re-
publicans, this will give a good working ma
iority to the party of progress, and create
genial atmosphere favorable to che growth of
the seed corn Of Republicanism, SO faithfully
planted by the Thomases, the lamented Davis
and Postmaster-Gener Cresswell. asr
lis amusing to hear the Democrats howl at
the turn affairs are taking. The loss of Mary
land to Democracy will be a sad blow to the
party; but the loss OF Democracy to Maryland
will be great blessing to the State. But
slight hopes are entertained that the Democra-
cy can buy, wheedle, seduce or frighten the
negroes vote in that State when once they
get The ballot in their hands. One generation
must die off before 6ambo forgets the scourg-
ings and reviliDgs, the kicks and cuffs, the in
dignities and outrages put upon him during
the last few years by these protessed disciples

gro vote may be divided, but in Maj yland it is
apprehended that it will 80 solid for time,
at least. Could the leaders have foreseen that
the ''man and brother" was SO soon to be
power in the State, they would have shapee
their course SO as to have captured him entire,
but the opportunity is now lost and that for
ever. Having burned their hatred of the me-
gro into his skin, it will take something more
