NARROW EscAPE.-On Saturday last horse
was frightened on Middle street and ran, with
the pung attached, at full speed up to Union
street, when he sheered of to the crossing,
over which gentleman and his little boy were
passing. The gentleman escaped, but before
he could get the child out OF the way the
horse bounded over 1t without touching it, but

Forney's Press promises Mr.. Blaine. OF the
third Maine. district, nearly the unanimous
support Of the Pennsylvania delegation for the
Speakership, on the ground not only of his
friendliness to high tariff, but his hostility
to reciprocity. In urging Mr.. Blaine's claims
to the support of Pennsylvania the Press says:
In this connection there is an important point
in Mr.. Blaine's record to which we invi5e sPS
cal attention. The tariff at present, AM in
ably for years to come, is only tnr;..ei of az
one direction, and that is by Iesasa' T r; tne
reciprocity with the British proVrnoes. - .nae

and the lumber interest also, are SUBJECTED 10
the competition of those Prouuc.s from BRITISH
soil Pennsylvania is now selling annually
more than half million tons of coal, and mil.
lions of feet of lumber, which she would not
sell if the reciprocity treaty should be revived.
Mr. Blaine has been very active in preventing
toe revival OF that treaty. and the people he
represents are determinediy hostile 10 it. On
this important point New England is divided
NAME, New Hampshire and Vermont being
against The reciprocity treaty. while Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut (all
anxious TO import provincial coal free OF duty)
are IN iavor OF the treaty.
Our general tariff interests are not in dam

cesslty OF SO large revenue. But we ale liza
Die 10 receive an irritating woun1 IN the ol-
rection of this delusive reciprocity treaty, and
to avert that danger is the specially duty OF
every Republican Representative from Penn

ing it than by organizing the House on oasis
of opposition to it. and to make certain OF that
result let James G. Blaine be elected Speaker
1t is all very well for Pennsylvania to sup.
port Mr.. Blaine for the Speakership, for he
would undoubtedly make a most admirable
presiding officer, but it is rot pleasing to the
people of Maine to have their member misrep-
resented or themselves assigned a position
which they do not occupy. Mr.. Blaine in
common with all intelligent citizens of the
State comprehended the unfairness OF the re-
ciprocity treaty of 1856 and its deleterious in
tuence upon many Of the industries of Maine.
Undoubtedly he would resist to the last any
attempt to restore that treaty, and would
have the cordial support of his constituents.
But certainly those who suppose that Mr..
Blaine or the people of Maine are afflicted with
the protective mania which pervades the coal
and lumber regions of Pennsylvania are mis-
taken, and we have no doubt that Mr.. Blaine
is heartily in favor OF real reciprocity with
Canada, as are the people of all the New Eng
land States but Vermont.

A WORD FOR RAILwAYs.-Mr e. I'll. Derby
of Boston had hearing before the Committee
of Ways and Means, one day last week, on .he
subject OF the tax on gross receipts of rail-
ways. He stated that before the war the cost
of running railways did not exceed one dollar
per mile, and was but fifty per cent. of tie
gross receipts for the first twenty years after
their first introduction; that currency and tax
es had raised the cost to 81 40 per mile, which
was seventy per cent. on the gross receipts;
that we have built $4,000 miles of railway, cost
ing 81 600 100000, which required but 800 900
900 to make their present average return of
6 Ia per cent; but in consequence of the
charges thrown upon them by Congress, they
were compelled, in order to get this, to levy
$780, 900 ON the public, and of this $136 000,-
900 of expenses were due to the oh argos i'm
posed by Congress; that it was time to remove
such charges, for they were no longer required,
as the revenue of the nation exceeded its ex-
penses by at least $100OOO,OOO; that Congress
had struck the letters from the slave, but had
put shackles on commerce; that it was as inn
portant to remove charges from transportation
as it was from production, for both entered in
to the cost of merchandise; that if Congress,
wished the Pacific Railway to control the
trade of the two oceans, and take tea from
China to Europe, it must return to gold and
remove these taxes, and then tea could be sent
from San Francisco to Boston for two cents
pound, besides saving interest, wharfage and
insurance; that he had tor four years asked
Congress to repeal these taxes and was told
that il would be done if he would bring SUBJ
stitute; that he gave them substitute last
year in the proposition to reduce the spirit
tax from two dollars 10 fifty cents, ard that
substitute was now earning thirty millions
year-the revenue from taxes on spirit having
risen from twenty to fifty million of dollars of
duties. He had not received pay for the sub
stitute. He would, however, now offer them
another. He would save twenty-five millions
in smuggling and trade; save the revenue that
amount by reducing the duties on spices, teas,
spirits, brandy, sugar, silk. cloth and clothing,
which now crosses the frontier without pay
ing duty. Mr.. Derby was listened too with
attention until the journal had been read in
the House, and the committee had to rise

That was, in our view, a browning blow to
the Confederacy but not final one. 1t was
but the fourth act of that thrilling drama in
five parts. The final, death dealing blow was
struck at q much later period than April, 1866.
1t was on the Sd of November last, when the
loyal people arose as one man, and showed the
reb7l element that all hope was gone. From
1855 to that time, under the administration of
dangerous Executive, the hopes of the rebels
had revived and grown stronger from month
to month, till the ablest minds of the country
saw that the crisis was not passed. The large
army had returned home-bht fragment re-
manned under arms. The opportunity OF the
rebsls was favorable and they improved it.
Tae perilous days of the republic were the try
ing days of 1858, when every rebel in the land,
with defiance of demeanor towards the insti-
tutions of his country that deserved prison,
was straining every nerve to restore the Blu
c,iaaan dynasty in the person of Horatio Sey-
uour. Nobly stood up the country-really
and truly the country against this powerful
combination. 1t was successful. 1t settled
the question of a Southern confederacy for
long years TO conceive trust forever. So.
while we hailed with thanksgiving Grants tri-
umph over Lee, which gave us peace we also.
with gratitude unbounded, received the dis
