ATTORNEY GENERAL HoAR has been ro,nd- 4.
ly abused because he has given an onin;on II
which he holds that in the unreeonstructed
States persons accused of crime may be taken
from the civil authorities and tried by military
commission. A Texas Rebel had murdered
freedman in cold blood, and would surely have
gone free had it not been for the proceedings Of
amilitaryi court in consequence of which the
Secretary of War asked the Attorney General
for his opinion. 1t is fortunate for loyal men
that the opinion upholds the authority Of mil
itary commissions. A new case has lately
occurred at jackson, Mississippi, which shows
the absolute necessity of some protection for
loyal men, black and white. Tuesday Colonel
Joseph g. Crane, military commander of the
iou1tn military district and acting Mayor of
.ne CITY, was shot by one Yerger because cer-f
sain taxes were levied on his (Yerger's) estate.
The probability is that if there was no mower
but that OF the local authorities to inflict nm
isnment, the worst that would happen 10 Tho
murderer would be his election to Cono,ass
the first opportunity.

The Advantages of a photographic
Survey.
s. Z PORTLAND, june 10, 1869.

10 The Editor of the Press:
Your remarks in this morning . issue in re-
gard to the photographic, Survey of the State
prngs to my mind conversations had with
very wealthy manufacturer ON the Naugatuck
river IN Connecticut, when passing over the
NoFWicn q Worcester railroad, last August.
Tins gentieman, after learning that was a
resident OF Portland, remarked that the Hon.
John Lynch had sent him copy of wells,s
report and that be was surprised at the infor-
nation given. He had no idea of the amount
of water power in our State and our facilities
for bringing it itintoguse.E i.slAa assH s1f a.,
He also informed me that other manufacture
ers in his State had expressed the. same sur
prise, and that waterpower was always the
subject of conversation among manufacturers
when they came together. He advised the
distribution of Wells Survey all over the
country. 1t would greatly promote the iuter-
ests of the State. e+J - $50
He farther remarked, that many nanufac-
turers had an impression that machinery could
not be run in this State, in the winter season,
on account of the ice, but that this survey had
given them the correct Information on this
point

or at the rate Of VI ,137, 1855 per month This

To complete our view of this movement il
Is only necessary to look at the currency bal
aast snce On nand In the Treasury. Mr.. Boutwell,
nrst statement of the debt on April last showed
his 1 balance to be $6,802, 2,62S; on May 1st it wal
1875, ,o64; on june 1st il was $19,984 .555
Lnis increase shows withdrawal of $l3, i8l

The Post sums up with this rather cheerful
view, which we copy without being sure that
the expected results will be realized or realiz-
ed by such methods. But every hopeful prog
nostic aids the public credit, and to know that
things help themselves and that the country is
sure to prosper under almost any treatment is
salutary assurance:
At the rate at which this method Of contrac-
tion has been practised for the last three
months, the present revenues will not be
needed for many years longer to decide the
question favorably. The amount of green.
backs, fractional currency and three per cent
certificates on the first of june was $442, ,463,

the treasury. A quarterly reduction of $1O,-
609,893, which Mr.. Boutwell, has proved to be
practicable without any pressure upon trade.
would reduce that amount in three wears to
little more than $500, 900 900. The government
could then resume specie payments, with en-

The HIGHLAND CADET ScHooL-If we
could spare the space we could fill our col
umns with the praises bestowed upon this
gallant corps of young soldiers by the press in
all parts of the New England States, as well
as the city of New York. The Academy EN-
braces a thorough military and academic
training SO that the cadets may be said to pass
through course of instruction highly simi-
lar to that of the West Pointers They claim
great perfection of drill, , and we have not the
least doubt that their claims are well founded
We know from experience that youths of from
fourteen to twenty years of age, who are un-
deygoing strict military tuition and discipline
year after year, attain a standard of excellence
that can never be obtained by older men, who
can only give from their business pursuits
one evening week to the same object. 5as
At the the request of Major White, we un-
derstand the officers of the Blues, mounted,
and in full uniform, viii act as escort upon the
arrival of the Cadets, instead Of the full COM
pany. Otherwise the programme remains the
same as printed in yesterdays. ISSUE From
what we hear there is a considerable excite
ment among the young ladies' to see these
handsome and youthful naiiitaires, and we ex-
pect Portland will be as gay and lively during
their visit as Annapolis or West Point during
graduation week. Our city bears great rep
utation for hospitality and we have no fears
but that she will fairly sustain it on this oc-
casion.

CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION This
society gave very pleasing dramatic enter
tainment at St Dominick's Hall, Gray street,
last evening. To those Of our readers who
have never been in this hall, we should inform
them that it is situated in the third story Of
the building and is of very large proportions.
1t is admirably adapted for such entertain
ments, and is we'll lighted and well ventilated.
A very neat and commodious stage was erect
ed, with foot-lights, scenery and all the access
sories, and above the green curtain were taste-
fully draped the national colors of America
and Ireland. e4~a.9 81. .l.s s5 d E8iB3s
The performances consisted ofsa WelaasnA ODD
drass. l.vs sAfr fs.'srs .souerty, which was very
ze.rny conceived and gracefully delivered,
followed by the drama of the Irish Emil
grant,, a play which displays to the best ad,
vantage the real Irish wit, and at the same
time incnlcates the great moral axiom that
honesty is the best policy = All the charac-
ters were impersonated with hmueh ability, and
some of the actors exhibited great deal O
talent for the profession. After the drama the
audience was convulsed by comic dialogue
at the conclusion of which young lady sang
beautiful song with great expression. The
performance concluded with the laughable
farce of the sGreat Elixir Of which it is suf.
fcient to say that TIE actors afforded the same
great fund Of amusement for the audience al
on former occasion, when they performed the
same piece for the benefit of the House of the
Angel Guardian.
The house was crowded with a large and ap,
p-eciative audience, among the number o.
whom was Rt Rev. Bishop Bacon, and we
should judge the receipts must have been some
thing handsome, although from the care with
which the stage, ETC., were got up, we should
| think the expenses must have been rather
heavy .- asfl. ~ So .c.- ,'ttsiit tt4ttt .ll itl
