FREE TRADz.-The New York free-traders
are at it again in good earnest, and are max
ing preparations for grand charge along the
whole line In an address issued Saturday
they say:
We ask your support on the ground of phi
lanthropy, and in behalf of your own interest,
for the principles we advance, namely: that ey.
cry man should be left free to buy with his Ia
Dor what he way need wherever he can buy it
cheapest, subject only to such taxes as are
necessary for the support of government; that
the prosperity of the community is best pro-
NOTED by government letting private business
alone; that all men are entitled to ask from
government equal protection to life and pros
perity, but for government to protect" few
interests against the competition of cheap
goods is an attempt to rob all others for the
benefit of these few; that to tax labor for the
special benefit of the owners of coal mines
and iron mines, of foundries and factories, is
to make all others, in fact, so far slaves to the
avarice of these few. We see what is called
protection" infringes upon our personal
rights it decreases the comforts of life; it dis
eliminates unjustly in favor of few capital
lists, and against the great mass of the people;
it diminishes the returns from the sale Of
American produce abroad, by increasing the
cost Of the goods imported in exchange there
for, and generally it curtzils American com
merce; lastly, it sins against the fundamental
principles Of morals

Legislature Of this winter conservative" 1t
has refused to consider the subject of women
suffrage or to abolish the gallows; it has refus-

members composing it, SO that it refuses to
raise their salaries, conservatism becomes re-

AN Esa11sH OFFICER KILLED FOR srDuo.

AN ENGLISH OFFICER KILLED FOR SEDUo-
TIoN.-Great exoiteuaent has been caused in
Montreal by the killing of Ensign WHITAKER,
of the British Army, by young Chaloner, on
Wednesday. Whitaker seduced Miss Chal-
oner last August, after having first put her
under the influence of chloroform. A few
week ago he promised to marry her to save
her from disgrace, but subsequently refused.
Hsrifather then went to Justice of Peace and
intituted a suit against Whitaker for rape.-
The girl was sent for, and her deposition was
taken. While this was going ON the brother
entered and learned for the first time of his
sisters disgrace. He immediate left, and
armed himself with q revolver and learning
that Ensign Whitaker was at the skating
rink, went there and fred q shot at him, say
ing at the same time, "you know what that
was for" The first shot missed, and, as the
officer was making rush toward him to seize
the revolver, he fired again, the ball entering
the temple. Chaloner was Immediately ar
rested, aud now lies in Jail. The almost unan-
imous verdict is that the officer was served
right. The Chaloner family are highly respec-
table, and the son is not of quarrelsome dis
position, and is but sixteen years of age. En-
sign Whitaker, at the last accounts, was still
alive, but insensible. The brain oozes from the
wound, and recovery is impossible

THE IsTHMUs CANAL.-Almost the entire
press of Bogota, the capital OF Colombia, is
opposed 10 the treaty made by the government
with Caleb Gushing, granting to the United
States the right to construct ship canal
across the Isthmus of Panama. It is thought
however, that this jealousy Of the United
States does not pervade the legislative body Of
Colombia sufficiently to prevent the ratiAea-
ton of the treaty.

If THE DIFFICULTY about A. T. Stewards
taking the Treasury Department results in his
giving his income to the poor for few years it
will be matter for rejoicing. Nothing in Mr..
Stewards character is calculated to give the
public so poor an opinion of him as his neg
lect to devote a greater portion of his immense
wealth to alleviating the terrible distress that
has overtaken thousands of persons in the i'm
mediate vicinity of his marble palaces. If the
legal objection to his going unto the Treasury
Department can be obviated by allowing his
srofts to go into the hands of trustees for the
Oenene On >ss Door, all benevolent people will
applaud. Only 1t :. to be hoped the fund will

mates on the vessel Mary Milenin January last and

good deal OF rum-Fenley says four glasses but Riley
says twenty-and Riley stabbed Fenley after their

in the evidence OF Fenley to bind Riley over in the
sum of $500 to appear before the next term Of the

TIE PERSONNEL oE THE LEGIsLATURE.-An
Augusta correspondent Of the Boston Adver-
tiser gives the following sketch of the more
prominent members of our State Legislature:
The Senate has really been all winter with
out leader, although blessed with presiding
officer of superior ability in the person Of
stephen D. Lindsey Of Norridgewock. No
brilliant mind has made itself conspicuous.-
Samuel +; Hersey of Bangor, and Thomas 8.
to represent the interests Of the working
classes, which comprise the great bulk Of the
population OF Maine. They are not great talk
ers, put are practical men, and their influence
9ai been felt in the decision of grave questions.
John l.. Stevens of Augusta has been the
champion tor the repeal Of the death penalty:
he is nervous and impetuous speaker, but
has wel-trained mind and is we'll read on
this subject. He has made the most powerful
argument on that side for the winter. VIM.
w. Bolster of Dixfeld, has made the only
elaborate speech on the other side, in the Sen
ate.
When we descend to the lower House we
shall find there all trades and occupations rep
resented, the farming interest predominating
The prominent and leading Republican MEM
Gilbert of Bath, Cram of Brunswick, Farwell
of Augusta, Stone of Kennebunk, and Wild
den Of Calais. The democratic column-a
very short and feeble one, by the way-is un-
Ger the leaOcreulp Oh G0e venerable 0emOcT0t1C
war horse, Mr.. Diokey of Fort Kent. He has
however, gracefully accepted the situation,
and in speech on Saturday said he hoped the
nation would now 60 ON to Grant and glory
Mr.. Reed of Portland, has been called ''the
coming man" of the House. He is but TWEEN
ty-nins years of age, has fine voice and ex-
cellent delivery, and has made decided mark
in the legislature. His colleague, Mr.. Morris
in discussion, deals mostly in figures, and in
his recent speech in support of the defeated
resolutions favoring the rs-establishment of
the reciprocity treaty between this country
and the British North American provinces, he
presented some very valuable statistics. Mr..
Gilbert of Bath, in debate, is the "pugilistic"
member. If the "grit" he possesses were
equally distributed among all the members,
each one would have enough to know when
his rights were assailed and the courage to
maintain them. He il undoubtedly the most
logical member of the House. Mr.. Cram of
Brunswick is the watchful guardian of the
Treasury. Not bill or resolution, requiring
the expenditure of money, takes its swift pass
age through the House, when Mr.. Cram is in
his place, without his thorough inspection
and an absence of two weeks, caused by sick
ness, has been marked by the passage of sew
'eral resolutions appropriating money for OBJ
jects that are doubtful subjects for State en-
d0wment
There are other members whose abilities
might seem to Justify mention here, but
enough have been given to convey to the read
er an outline of the character and general
makeup of the two branches of our legisla-
ture that proposes to adjourn the latter part of
the present week.
