MoNDAx.-Thomas H. Haskell, assignee in equity
VS.. Ralph Kelley. Bill to set aside mortgage given
By Kelley to Elias Mountfort, complain ant alleging
that said mortgage was given in violation OF the
bankrupt law. 1t appeared at the hearing, that in
the fall OF ct, Mountort being DESTROYS OF procuring
for his son captains berth, applied to Kelley to
build vessel, he paying $4,000 towards its cost,
which was enough to secure captains interest, and
leaving Kelley 10 rase the rest. Kelley commenced
the vessel, but found impossible to raise money
enough to complete her till the tall of'6S, when Cap
tain Henry Small advanced enough to control half
interest in her. thus deprvng Mountort of his cap
tan's interest Mountfort then demanded security
for the money he had advanced, and Kelley gave
him second mortgage upon his ship yard in Fal-
mouth. Kelley became bankrupt some time fter,
and his creditors brought this action to set aside this
mortgage. Judge Fox dismissed the bill with costs
for the complainant, but stated that the arraigned
did nothing moie than his dnty in bringing the BILL

G. A. R.-To-day Bosworth Post No. make
their excursion to Chebeagus in the Charles
Houghton, and they have laid out program
me for the amusement OF their friends that
can't be beat. There is to be hurdle-raciug, ian
auger brigade and swimming matches for
prizes, while the ladies will contend in archie
ry and swinging, dancing, and music will fill
up the intervals. Only think how delightful it
will be to get away from the heated city if the
weather is anything like what it was yester-
day and enjoy the cool breezes from old ocean
as you glide down among the islands, and then
what jolly time after you get there. The G.
A. R. never laid out poor programme yet or
failed to give universal satisfaction. Be on
hand at Union Wharf at g. Is precisely.

Mr. EDIToR:-I see by the Press of Monday
that there is another project on foot to draw a
large sum from the City Treasury. hope the
City Council will consider that its first duty is
to keep down as far as possible the public ex-
penditures. The taxes in this city have al
ready become a burden difficult to bear. I
have reason to know that the way of raising
the money to pay these has become cause OF
anxiety to great many persons of moderate
means, and involves close economy, even to
pinching, through the whole wear.

The PLAsThRER's STRIKE-We haze re-
ceived from the Portland Plasterers' Protec-
tive Union communication explaining the
differences between them and their employers,
which led to the late strike, as follows:
We struck because the firm employing US
persisted in keeping at work man who would
not comply with our regulations, he being
member of a Plasterers' Association and
subject TO the laws of said association. Be-
sides, apd according to unanimous vote
passed April II, 1870, we duly notified the said
firm that on and after July 1, 1870, we should
demand and require our full pay weekly, as
we were only getting part of our pay each
week and the balance when settling up. No
notice was taken by them of said notification,
and we have, in CONSCIENCE. resolved not to re.
sumo work unless we receive all of our earn
ings each week. We do not ask for higher
wages, but we believe ourselves entitled TO be
paid up in full each week. We are willing to
do all we can to promote the interests of our
employers, and do not seek to enter into any
conspiracy against them; we merely ask our
just dues, and if we can't have them here we
must necessarily seek employment elsewhere

WASHINGTON.
DEARTH OF NEWS,

WASHINGTON, July 18.-Very few despatch
es have been received here from Europe by
gentlemen in diplomatic and American official
circles and therefore reliance is Chiefly made
on those of the press relative to the war. The
new French minister has received no cable tel
gram since his arrival in this country. The
anxiety for intelligence from Europe is partic-
ularly manifest among the diplomatic corps,
some of whom await with irhpatenee for off,
cal advices by mail from their respective gov
ernments, which it is said, will not trust the
ocean cables, fearing that even CIPHER MESA
ges may find their way into unfriendIy hands,
Inquiries have been received here from New
York and elsewhere as to the truth of the tele-
grams sent hence; one of them asserting the
establishment OF IL 900 seamen and the imme-
diate placing of the navy on war footing. 1t
is certain that Admiral Porter has made no
such recommendation, and equally untrue is
the despatch that the President is being urged
to convene Congress at an early day to legs-
late according. 1t does not appear that any
one connected with our government fears any
disaster will happen to our country apart from
the effect of war upon our shipping, or that we
can become involved in an European war
there being nothing to excite such fears.
THE PRUssIAN MISSION.
Sen ltor Schurz had an interview with the
President to-day on European affairs. Toward
the close of Congress there were several candi-
dates for tho Prussian mission, it having been
reported that Mr.. Bancroft was to be recalled,
but it is ascertained tonight that the President
did not designeither then or now to make q
change.
