WASHINGTON dispatches state

WAsHNoToN dispatches state, that the ere.
pealers" have fiually come to the conclusion
that they have surrendered everything in
passing the tenure-of-ofioe act reported from
the conference committee, and that the first
Senate proposition was preferable to the bill
passed.. As the law now reads the simple
non-action of the Senate restores suspended
ofneer. Under the Senate amendment to the
House bill it would have been necessary for
sne senate to reject the nomination of the sus-
pended ofhcer's successor in order torestore the
former. Trumbnll and Edmunds of the Sem
ate, members of the conference committee,
and representing the friends of the old law, at
hrst opposed the present measure when it was
laid before them in committee, but afterwards
perceiving its true force agreed to it with an
affected protest Thus Butler and the repeal-
ers were deceived.

THE NEW ENGLAND AND MAINE STATE
FAIRS. Bangor is putting in to have these two
fairs held in that city, and it becomes Port
land to put forth her strength if she wishes the
exhibition held here. We learn from the Ban
gor Wing that at special meeting of the City
Council Friday afternoon, an order was passed
authorizing the payment of $4,000, jointly, to
the Trustees of the Maine State Agricultural
Society and the Trustees of the New England
Society, provided said societies shall cause
their annual exhibitions for the year 1869 to be
holden in Bangor. ~
The greatest trouble, we apprehend, in hold
ing the two exhibitions in Bangor, will be the
want of suitable hall accommodations Here
in Portland we have three spacious halls, City
Fluent and Congress, which can be connected
by bridges, they all being in close contguity
It was stated by one of the managers of the
New England Society, after visiting these halls
that better accommodations could not be of

was considerable stock Of gunpowder. The
Prince was the first to to perceive it, and with
the aid of the Duke of Sutherland and others,

M1ss KArr Frr1n the

Miss KATE FIELD, the brilliant author and
newspaper writer, made her debut as a lecturer
in Boston, Wednesday night. She was most
favorably received and her lecture ON" Woman
in the Lyceum" is highly commended. Miss
Field suggested that men had done NEST of the
public speaking since the creation, and that wo-
men ought by. good rights to have their turn.
And in this connection the lecturer used a
really novel and impressive figure, saying that
as Truth had been only represented by men
thus far, she had been, as it were, only seen in
profile and that her presentation by women
would reveal the other side of her face.
