PASSAGE OF TROOPS OVER NEUTRk L GROUND.
The Detroit Tribune recalls to the memory of
our Canadian friends who have lately been so
terribly exercised about the refusal of our gov
eminent to permit the passage of troops and
munitions of war through the Sault canal, an
Instance of refusal on their part that was griev-
GUS on the ground of inhumanty. In Februa-
ry, 1847, six companies of volunteers left De-
troit en- route to Mexico on a steamer charter
ed to carry them to Sandusky They passed
some distance into Lake Erie, and on account
Of encountering large quantity of newly
made ice were compelled to steam back to NAL
den where they tied up to the wharf and re-
manned over night. In the meantime the cold
became intense, and before daylight next morn
ing not only the lake, as far as the eye could
reach, but the river presented one uubroken
fed OF ice, and the steamer was effectually
shut in at a Canadian town. The troops had
only encugh provisions to last them to Cipcip.
natl and the prospects before them were not
encouraging. Reaching American soil by
crossing the river was then out of the question.
About 10 o'clock of that day COL Williams. the
commanding officer, sent to the commanding
officer at Fort Maiden, requesting an ipter-
view. In obedience thereto the British officer
IL charge of the fort had a conference with
Col. Williams, and this officer then requested
Pe,m.ss,oh W convey DIS men though Canada
to WINDSOR for the purpose of reaching Detroit
Although the volunteers were unarmed the
British officer returned an answer that pei M is
sion would not be granted. Persuasion was of
no avail. Consequently another night was
spent at the Maiden wharf. The weather that
night was terribly cold; the ice in the RIVER
was increased in thickness aud on the follow
ing day the troops, by the means of plank laid
lengthwise on the ice, " ere enabled to march
over to Bots Blanc Island, and they were thence
ferried to Trenton, where they found means of
transportation to Sapdusky.

Cooperative trading, which was failure in
this country, Aourishes beyond all expectation
in London. Three years ago few postofiice
clerks dubbed together to buy their groceries.
&c, at Wholesale prices. Their association
spread to other branches of the civil service.
and the first year the goods sold amounted to
little over 100000. The past year the sales
of this one establishment have come ND to
nearly q 000,00o, and the members have di-
vided profit Of about S23,00O-that is, they
have got their supplies Of all kinds so much
under cost. the profit coming from outsiders,
who have still been supplied with the best
qualities at very moderate prices. The sys-
tenn by which the work is done is said to be
as simple as a cheese factory, as practical as
the post-ofice.
The brickmakers of Manchester, England,
are what may be termed "ugly customers" to
deal with. Hav,n2 I;ignified their sovereign
pleasure that the use of machinery should be
abolished in their business, and that no more
"worked stone" should be brought into the
city, they naturally found themselves in con-
flict with the master builders. The guiding
spirit of the opposition was Mr.. johnson,
who succeeded in outfanking the men, only
to find himself placed in a state OF siege, For
twelve months he has not been able to sleep
many nights together in one place; his friends
refrain from visiting him for fear Of some dis
aster; his servants wish to leave for the same
reason; one attempt has been made TO blow
up mis- house. and another to burn his wood
yard; bis coachman would rather leave his
service than drive him home at night: and, to
crown all. he is asked to pay twenty cents an
hour for each policeman required to protect
him. No wonder that Mr.. johnson complains
that 'liie is becoming almost unbeatable"

To the Editor Of the Press:
The meeting of the stockholders of tie Maine
Central Railroad was held here yesterday. In
point OF numbers the meeting was not greatly
In excess of the usual gathering on like occa-
sions. There was lively debate on the motion
OF Hon. John A. Poor, to adjourn one month.
The opposition party made strong Effort to
postpone by this means the final decision. Mr..
Poor made lengthy speech, in which he in
dulged in some personalities, and made himse elf
the target for most scathing fire of invective
in the reply of Hon. Arson P. Morrill,. Hon.
A. w. Paine and others from the Bangor dele
CATION, favored the adjournment. Speeches
were also made by Hons. j. H. Drummond Of
Portland, and S. L. Milliken of Belfast, and
others. The vote on the adjournment result
ed, yeas 1853, nays 1854. This vote indicated
the success of the party favoring consolidation.
1t was then voted by yeas 697S, nays 43, to &C
cept the act of 1856, giving power to lease other
roads or become leased to others.
The grand question of ratifying the lease and
contract before made with the directors of the
Kennebec road, then passed by a vote of yeas
1853, nays none.
AT the adjourned meeting in the evening the
resignation of the old board of directors, ex-
cept MIR. Rawson, who represents the city oil
Bangor was read, and ballot for new board

SENATOR CHANDLER's bill on Commerce
now before the Senate allows drawbacks on
foreign materials for iron ships, and exempts
homemade materials from taxation; also
allows American registers for three years to
foreign-buil iron ships owned by our citizens,
provided none of them shall be taken for the
costing trade. He further adopts that sec
ton of Mr.. Lynch's bill by which coal and
ship stores used ON voyages are exempted
from taxation. The bill will be reported in
ten days or fortnight
Referring to the fate of Mr.. Lynch's bin in
the House on Tuesday, Dixon OF the Boston

vote there was nothing left of his bill but the
sections allowing drawback on material and
the exemption of coal and stores from taxa
ton. As it cannot be reached again this SOS.
sion il might about as well have been killed
outright. Mr.. Lynch has pressed il with Wig

some extent given tone to legislation on cog
nate questions, though it is not yet possible
TO say whether the long inquiry will result in
any material benefit to the shipping interests.

IHE two political elements, woman suffrage
and temperance, have united in West Virgin

to hold State convention at Grafton on June

The Republican Convention of Delaware
will be held on Thursday, June 9, to nomin-
ate candidates for Governor and Congress-
men. Since the ratification of the Fifteenth
Amendment they have some hope of carrying
the State.
MUCH interest is felt in the Oregon cleo
ton, which takes place on the 9Th of June,
when the first member of the next Congress
VIII be chosen. The other officers to be elect.
ed are governor, secretary of state. treasurer
and state printer. Two years ego the demo-
Gratis elected the member of Congress by
majority of over one thousand. As this ma
jority was reduced to one hundred and seven
ty-five at the Presidential election, and as the
democrats have adopted the platform of repu-
diation, the Republicans have strong hope of
success.

A correspondent of the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser, who evidently don't love
Reuben, d.scourseth of the New York Sena-
tors as follows:
1t is the combative man who is the success
ful man in political life. 1t is true that now
aud then the trimmer and time-server sue
ceeds Fenton, while not entitled TO be classed
as combative, has quality that is marvellous
ly successful in the present degenerate age
he is untring, audaciOus, inscriptions and
| unprinc. Piled.
IT the Attorney General shuts the door in
his face, he peeps through the keyhoId, and is
sure TO clrcumvent the man who is in the in
SIDE. Ii he cans ge in the front door Of the
Whlte House, he viii creep in at the back
door. He has wa7 OF making talsehood pass
as currently as truth. These qualities consti-
tute great smartness in certain political cir
cles. 1t is by such means that Fenton has
achieved greatness. The man who knows
him well will say that he has no claims on
craftsmanship. He is a successful fraud, and
the most successful in the United States
That compliment he is at least entitled to.
Senator Conkling, his associate, is quite a
! dl1erent man. lie was famous in early polit-
| zeal LIE Tor energy, industry and tenacity. He
seemed born to command. His presence in a
contest, and his activity in a campaign, in
spTed every one around him. He has changed
wonderfully within the last four or five years.
ne is not the man he used to be. The at
mosphere of Washington seems to baye meta
morphosed him. He is inclined to think that
the mountain should come to Mahomet and
not Mahomet to the mountain. While bis
friends are proud OF his position in the Stnee
they are chagrned at his Indifference to the
political situation the state. He has all the
elements OF great leader except pluck and
tenacity. His fine presence, his commanding
eloquence, and his rare abilities fiji him for a
leader; bnt he stands at the capital like a
cowed rooster in the presence of a turkev
buzzard. Let him take courage and 60 to The
front, and his followers will be as terrible as
an army with banners.
