The INDEPENDENT is certainly one of the
most able, vigorous and thoroughly Hve papers
in the country. We value it as highly as any
weekly on our exchange list, but owing to
some cause which we are unable to explain it
seldom reaches us until its contents have lost
all claim to the title of news 1t is published
Thursday, and we never receive it before Sat-
urday and generally not until Monday or
Tuesday. We often get extracts from it,
which have been reprinted in New York jour-
mails, before we receive the paper itself, and
we are Eever able to avail ourselves of its re-
ligious intelligence until week after date
If the Independent were stupid or worthless
paper we should be resigned, but it is quite too
good to be allowed the luxury of sloDness

THE SIXTH WARD.-It is matter of notori

Democratic meeting that Mr.. Geo. A. Wright
a Republican candidate for Councilman in
Ward six will also be the Democratic candi-
date for Alderman. Mr.. Wright was candi-
date in the caucus for the Republican nomina-
ton for Alderman and, having failed to re-.
ceive it, We cannot believe that he will allow
his name to be used by the Democratic party
managers for the purpose of distracting and
destroying the Republican party in that ward,
put that at the proper time he will distinctly
ana puohciy decline to allow the use of his
name In connection with that office

Go 10 the Republican Meeting To-Night.
This political campaign is to be very short
one. The only public meeting to be held by
the Republican party will be the one at City
Hall tonight The gentlemen whose voices
were often heard with pleasure and profit dur
ing the heavy fighting of the last autumn ~ill
be listened to again tonight. Let there be no
baekwardness about going to the meeting. II
is not well to incur the slightest risk of allow
ing our City Government to fall into the hands
of the party that have made use Of their as
tendency in other cities of the country to
plunder the people without stint. 1t is not
well that on the very eve of Grants advent to
the Executive chair we should by our neglect
or apathy permit anything to occur which will
in ever so slight degree dim the lustre of the
victory which we did 30 much to win. Let us
rather emulate the example of our political
brethren in the States of New York and In
diana, who have at recent elections shown o
firm adherence to the principles which they
sustained triumphantly in the Presidential
campaign

The editor of the Belfast Journal, we al
ways thought, wouldEsometime, soraehoao, be
punished for his sins. But we never, in our
moments of greatest evaporation at his polit-
ical heresies, conceived of the torments that
were in store for him. In this weeks paper,
after learned disquisition on the various
ideas of the place of future punishment, he
says:
We have discovered what the hell of a news
paper man is. Most of the hells are located
somewhat vaguely down in the bowels of the
earth; Ours is above. Like the torment of
the other hells it never ceases, day or night.

The wooden donkeys rumble like Young

foundation. The gas fixtures rattle. The win
dow sashes dance. The plastering is bulged
down. Our hair is full of sand and lime. The
donkeys OF flesh that ride the donkeys of wood
tumble Oft, and everything shakes again.
Greenherns come fumbling at our doors, en-
quiring, Is this the "Vee-losh-eye-peedee
school?' Our suffering is intolerable. We
nave thought of fying-but whittier? If we

The coward sneaks to death-the brave live on"
So like Stanton we shall stick If the build
ing comes down and our cold remains are
found among the ruins, let our friends remem-
Der that we died at the post of duty. Let no
one who ever rode velocipede come to the
funeral. On the slab that marks our last rest

THE FIRE LAST NIaHT.-The alarm at IL
o'clock last night was oceasioned by fire
which caught from the stove in the back part
OF M. H. Reddy's tailor shop, in the three story
building on Federal street, the second story of
which is occupied by Joseph B. Hall for his
Monitor Printing Office. The engines were ON
hand with commendable promptness, but the
fire had gained such headway that Mr. Reddy
was able to save only half o dozen rolls of
cloth. He has insurance in different Offices
amounting to $4,000, his loss being perhaps
twice that sum, The printing material in the
second story was considerably injured, but the
fire did not reach Mr.. Whites brush factory in
the third story. The stock in Tapley's gro
Gerry store, adjoining Reddys, was somewhat
injured by the water running down from
above. The heads of the individuals compos-
ing the crowd that watched the fire were

1t was easier to make the terminus to Boston
the hatlarders would do it. That the money
asked from the city was to be spent out of the
State and Portland people swindled.) Mr..
Farmer instanced the Boston, Concord &
Montreal road that would aid in the Rutland
road. That its stock was owned in New
Hampshire.
Governor Washburn said Mr.. Lyon, the
PRESIDENT OF the Boston, Concord & Montreal
road was Boston man. That most of the
stock was owned in Boston. This Mr.. Lyon
had been one of the earliest and strongest enc
mics of the Ogdensburg road. That it wasn't
likely Mr.. Lyon would be willing to have
new road take off 40 out of the 80 miles of its
business. He could not but remember that
those who now urged with so much zeal the
lending of city aid to the Rutland road on the
ground that it wouln increase the business of
Portland, had heretofore at all times and
streHuously opposed all aid to the Ogdensburg
road, road which would give ten times the
trade to Portland that the Rutland possibly
could-nor could he forget that while the Og-
densburg road had been opposed by the roads
at New Hampshire leading to Boston, these
same roads had favored the Rutland scheme.
One thing was certain, the movement before
the Legislature now had direct and certain
tendency to embarass and prejudice the Og-
densburg enterprise, and in SO far it would al
SO in fact injure the Rutland road. For it
was certain that the only way to build the
latter was to secure the construction of the
former. 1t was worse than idle to think of
two parallel roads between the Portland &
New Hampshire line, and so all men who were
really in favor of the Rutland road on such
route as would benefit Portland, would see
that any action on their part prejudicing the
Ogdensburg road would be quite as damaging
to the real interests of their own measurs
The following amendment to the resolutions
of Gen. Anderson was offered by Mr.. Farmer
and voted down with only one vote in the
affirmative:
Resolved, That the Board approve the appli-
cation of the Portland and Rutland Railroad
Company, under proper guards and rsstric-
tions for security. And we feel q desire that
such an act shall be passed as will accomplish
the building OF said road, believing the busi-
ness of said road to be of great value to the
business interests of Portland.
The resolutions of Gen. Anderson were
then offered, together with the following addi-
tional one:
Resolved, That the amendment of the char
ter of the Portland 8 Rutland Railroad Com
pany giving permission for them to come to
tide-water in Portland is unadvisabls.
Passed with only one dissenting vote The
meeting then adjourned. 1t was fully attend
ed by the business men of the city, and their
almost unanimous opinion on the questions
presented speaks volumes as regards the feel
ing of Portland in this railroad matter.
