A NEW SYsTEM.-Last night in Ward 4, at
the Democratic caucus, a new system of nomi-
mating candidate for Alderman was adopted.
Agentleman present nominated Rufus E. Wood
for Alderman. In order to ascertain the sem
timent of the caucus on that nomination the
house was divided, those in favor of Mr.. Wood
being requested to stand on the right and those
opposed on the left. About one-third of those
present went to the right, and Mr. Wood
lost the nomination. Mr.. John Ahearn then
nominated Mr.. Charles Mccarthy. A division
in the same manner as in the case of MI. Wood
then took place, when considerably more than
one-haf of those present stood on the right,
when to the establishment of Mr.. McCarthys
friends as well as many others, the chairman
declared it tie vote, 40 to 40. Great indigna-
ton was expressed by the Irish present when
it was proposed that the nomination should be
by ballot. This proposition was accepted,
when printed ballots were passed around with
the name of DR.. Tewksbury on them, and there
being no other ballots supplied for those who
wished to vote for anybody else, the chairman
announced DR.. Tewksbury the Democratic
nominee for Alderman of Ward 4. The Irish
voters in the ward who were present were ter
ribly excited at the way they were swindled,
and went off swearing that they would smash
that ticket next Monday as sure as they lived.

MR.. BURLINGAME's LAST OFFICIAL ACT.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 8. "A short time
before the death of Mr.. Burlingame the Chi
nese ambassadors had their first interview
by Prime Minister Gottschakoff. Mr.. Burlin-
game, in introducing his fellow ambassadors,
addressed the Emperor as follows:
Sire: In the name of myself and my col
leagues, have the honor to present the letter
of the Emperor of China accrediting us to you
and expressing his wishes for the happiness
and health of Your Majesty and of the Impe-
rial family, and for the prosperity of your sub
jects. Permit me to recall to mind the services
of your able representative at Pekin, General
Vlangad, whose policy of equity and concilia-
ton contributed to inspire China with a wish
10 enter into the family of nations, and leads
her through us now to declare her desire that
the friendly relations between Russia and Chi
ma which have existed for three centuries, may
be perpetuated.
To this the Emperor replied: 1t is agreeable
to see you here, for you represent fresh proofs
of the pacific relations which unite Russia and
China, and which the negotiations you are
about to enter upon will draw closer. 1t is
particularly agreeable to see the interests Of
China entrusted to a citizen of State espec-
tally sympathetic with Russia.
The embassy was received with all the hon.
ors accorded to diplomats of the highest rank.
Italy.
AMERICAN BISHOPS RECALCITRANT.
ROME, March 3.-Every effort is being made
to induce the American bishops to declare for
Papal infalliblity, but SO far the ultramontanes
have been unsuccessful in securing their ad-
hesion.

INJUNCTION AGAINST AMERICAN BOOKS.
EDINBURG, March Sin the Court of Ses-
sions temporary Injunction has been granted,
prohibiting until an investigation is had, of the
sale of copies of Tennys0n's poems published
by Fields, Osgood & Co., of Boston, aud inn
ported by booksellers in Glasgow.
PROBABLE LOSS OF AN AMERICAN SHIP.
LONDON, March "a branding-ircn lettered
"Santee," was found at Skiberbeen, Ireland,
and has been identified by the former master
as belonging to the American ship Santee.-
The discovery leaves no doubt that she was
the vessel that went down with all on board
on the night of Dec. Both, off Skiberbeen.
NEW WAR VESSEL.
The trial trip of the new frigate Captain took
place to-day. She made eleven knots an hour
with one screw revolving at halfspeed The
vessel is considered complete success.
THE IRISH LAND BILL.
The Irish members of the Commons have re-
solved to propose amendments to the Irish
Land bill, but win not oppose the bill as q
whole.
STANDARDIZATION AND SUNDAY TRADING.
In the House of Lords the naturalization
bill was passed to second reading and the
Sunday trading bill was read third time.
THE FENIANs.
In the House of Commons Mr. Gladstone
made an explanation in regard to the Fenian
convicts. He said that they were kept apart
from other prisoners, and treated better if any
thing. The wife of O'Donnovan Rosa has
been permitted to visit her husband in his cell,
and while there congratulated him on his i'm
proved appearance. Naughter.)

They have arrived and are being put down.
The public will be glad to hear that Mr.. The
dore Thomas has engaged City Hall for the
evenings of April 14th and 18th.
Resolutions of respect to the memory of the
late Williams Willis have been passed by the
Boston Historic Gene illogical Society.
The alarm of fire from box q, about eight
o'clock last evening" was caused by lot of
wood being left in a stove, in which there was
wood fire, in the store of Robert L. Morse,
boot and shoe dealer, No. 50 Union street.
The wood being damp, instead of igniting,
smouldered and filed the store with smoke,
hence the alarm. By the way, in this connec-
ton, we " ould like to have the alarm at the
First Parish Church put in good order. We
are not yet metropolitan enough to require
number 252.
Capt. Willard examined the various wharves
yesterday, and reports that there is "a feet of
water at Perley's wharf and % at the Portland
Company's wharf, at low water.
Mr.. John T. Oxnard's loss by the late fire at
Pownal was $500 besides insurance, as we are
informed.
The circle of the West Congregational So
ciety met by invitation Wednesday evening at
the residence of Mr.. J. j. w. Reeves, Con-
gress street, in very large numbers, and during
the evening parting presentation was made
of some valuable books, purse of money and
other articles to Rev. George A. Tewksbury.
The presentation speeches were made by Mr..
Geo. W. Noyes and little Miss Isabel Hamlin.

Yesterday was fine, bright day, the Their
mometer standing as low as 22o at Z o'clock
in the morning, which is considerably lower
than 1t has been for two or three days past.
Some voters were busy yesterday seeing that
their names were on the list, and others that
their names already on were printed correctly.
Be sure and guard against any mistakes in the
printing. We yesterday, in casually glancing
at q list, saw two of our friends names in the
sixth ward that were printed incorrectly.
A boy yesterday found a nice black mare
wandering along in front of the new Custom
House, attached to country pung containing
barrel. He brought the horse to the station

MANY PERSONS ARE SELLING
THEIR GOVERNMENT BONDS WHILE
THE PREMIUM IS STILL LARGE
AND REINvEST IN THE FIRST
MORTGAGE BONDS Oh THE CEN
TRIAL RAILROAD of IOWA, WHICH
PAY ABOUT ONE-THIRD MORE IN
TEREST. THE TIME TO MAKE SUCH
REIMBURSEMENT is ,chile the Treasury Is
buying, and Governments are at a premium.
THE ROAD DOES NOT RUN THROUGH
A WILDERNESS, where it would have to
wait years for population and business, but
through the most thickly settled and product
i've agricultural counties in the State, which
gives each section large traffic as soon as com
pleted.
1t runs through the great coal fields Of
Southern Iowa to the North where coal is in
dispensable and must be carried.
1t runs from the great lumber regions Of the
North, through district of country which is
destitute of this prime necessity.
The mortgage is made to the Farmers Loan
and Trust Co., of N. Y, and bonds can be is
sued only at the rate of $4,000 per mile, or on
1y half the amount upon some other roads.
Special security is provided for the principal
and for the payment of interest.
The New York tribune says ''ths is splen-
did enterprise, and deserves the most liberal
aid"
The New York Independent says, "We know
the Central Railroad of Iowa is one Of the
great and good works of the age. Its Direc-
tors include many Of our leading bank presi-
dents and other gentlemen of high character,
who have means enough to build two or three
such roads out of their own pockets, so that all
its affairs will be ably as well as honestly man
aged. The Central of Iowa will be to that
State what the New York Central is to this,
except that it runs through far richer coun-
try. We therefore recommend the Central
Iowa Bonds, with entire confidence in their
value. TIE truth is. that First Mortgage oil
$16 900 per mile upon road running through
such a country cannot be otherwise than safe.
First Mortgage Bonds for so small an amount
upon road running through such rich and
already well-settled part of Iowa, can we'll be
recommended as perfectly safe as we'll as very
profitable investment. They are now selling
more rapidly than the Company can use
the money. Pamphlets, with map, may
be obtained, and subscriptions will be
received at THE COMPANY's OFFICE, No
80 PINE ST, NEW YORK, and at the BANK
OF NORTH AMERICA, A WALL St, and
in Portlandb by
SWAN & BARRETT,
Corner Middle nnd Plum Streets,
Bonds sent free. Parties subscribing through
local agents ,cH look to them for their safe DELHI
cry.
