The annual meeting of this Association was
held at the Aldermen's rooms in this city,

WASHINGTON, May "a
SENATE. The Senate Legislative, Judicial
and Executive Appropriation bills were re-
sumed in Committee OF the Whole, and after
a long debate, Mr.. Sherman withdrew his
| amendment for an appropriation for ship
| canal around the falls of the Ohio. The bill
was then laid aside, and the report of the
| Conference Committee on the 10th Amend
ment bill was presented.
After discussion, the Senate agreed to vote
on the bill tomorrow, and at three o'clock
the Senate adjourned.
House. Mr.. Cessna of Penn, called up
the South Carolina contested election case of
Mr.. Wallace vs.. Mr.. Simpson, but the House
refused 80 to 81 to consider it, and went INTO
Committee of the Whole, and resumed the
consular and diplomatic appropriation bill.
Mr.. Voorhees, of Ind, moved to strike out
from the list the consulates of Santiago de
| Cuba, stating that the United States flag did
not protect consulate or American citizens
coming within its jurisdiction; and therefore
that Congress would certainly not vote money
to keep a Consul there, who could not live in
safety. He had read an article from yester-
days New York Tribune, in reference to the
treatment of Consul Phillips at Santiago de
Cuba. He implored the members of the Com.
on Foreign Affairs, who had access to that
fossil or dead man, who presided over the
state department, to tell him that the blood of
American citizens was crying from the ground
for action against him, imbcility, sloth, and
want of regard for the honor, glory and safety
of the once great and honored republic.
Mr.. Logan of H., spoke in the same
strain, urging the necessity Of immediate and
decisive action in reference to Cuba.
| Mr.. Brooks of Mass, said he had been
watching day by day, and hour by hour for
hripf tG,, hrfN 4t,n
House, but had been delayed so long by the
| impossibility of getting a 'two-thirds vote to
| lay aside the tariff or appropriation bill.
| Mr.. Sargent of Cal. defended Sec'y Fish
from Mr.. Voorhees, charge of inaction and
| imbeciity. saying that the responsibility lay
with the Navy dept Spain had now in Gu
| ban waters five ships to our one, and five guns
! to our one.
| Mr.. Garfield of Ohio, said that without re-
| ferring to the question of Cuban matters, he
would call attention to the writer of the docu-
ment that had been read. The late Us. Con-
sui at Santiago de Cuba. Gen. Steadman, was
| from his (Garfield's) Congressional district,
! and had died there in few days after he got
to his post
Mr.. Garfield made long speech, and the
discussion was continued by Messrs. Banks,
Wilkinson and Myers, of the Committee on
| foreign affairs, defending the Committee from
the charges of indifference to the affairs in
| Cuba, or neglect of duty in regard to outrages
on American citizens.
The House went into Committee of the
| Whole on the Post Office appropriation, and
| after Il short discussion the Committee rose
| and the House adjourned.

Consolidation.


The Railroad Consolidation meeting met
again this evening. John Neal offered res
olution, "That the proposed railroad consol-
idaton, involving change of gauge through
the State would be in our opinion, breach
of faith towards the Grand Trunk Railway,
and the British stockholders alike, alarming
and preposterous in itself, and dangerous to
the State"
John Poor spoke at length in favor Of the
resolution, closing with the remark, that if
Portland favored consolidation, she should
say so, and give the Grand Trunk due no.
tice; if opposed she should say so emphati-
cally, in which case he could assure them it
would never take place.
Judge Davis maintained that Portland had
nothing to do with the question, which was a
private matter between two corporations.
The Grand Trunk has no conflict with these
corporations. If the Maine Central has its
own road from Danyille to Portland, can it
object! Has it perpetual monopoly of this
traffic? But this is not consolidation. One
company under the general law has leased
the other, precisely what the Grand Trunk
did with the Atlantic and St. Lawrence, and
what half the roads in the State have done.
The change of gauge is the business of the
owners. He thought our most valuable trade
was with the valley of the Kennebec, and this
should be fostered.
after further discussion which did not al
lude to the question, the meeting adjourned
until Tomorrow night.

A PROCLAMATION!
By the President of the United
States of America.

WASHINGTON, May "A.
Whereas it has come to my knowledge that
sundry illegal military enterprises and expe-
ditions are being set on foot within the terri
tory and jurisdiction of the L. s., with view
to carry on the same from such territory and
jurisdiction against the people and district of
the dominion of Canada, within the dominions
of Her Majesty, the Queen of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, with
whom the United States is at peace, now
therefore, /, Ulysses S. Grant, President of the
United States, do hereby admonish all good
citizens of the United States, and all persons
within the military jurisdiction of the U. ).
against aiding, countenancing abetting or TAX
ing part in such unlawfulS lSproceedings; and |
do hereby warn all persons that by committing
such Illegal acts they will forfeit all their
right to protection of this, or its interference
in their behalf to rescue them from the conse-
quences of their own acts; and do hereby
enjoin all officers in the service of the L. ).
to employ their lawful authority and power to
prevent and defeat the aforesaid unlawful pro-
ceedings, and to arrest and bring to justice all
persons who may be engaged therein.
In testimony whereof have hereunto set my
hand, and caused the seal Of the L. 5. to be
affixed.
Done at the city of Washington. this oath day

object to a funeral being held on the Sabbath,
on the same grounds, for the services of both
are similar. He then speaks of the military
marching" Emusic playing" and ''bells ring
ing" all these things tempting the people
away from divine worship. Mr.. Bingham
labors under mistake, because he, as well as
the other clergymen, was given to understand
that there would be neither pageant or militia
ry display, and the time for holding the me-
mortal services was selected SO that it might
not interfere with the services of any church.
The experience of former like occasions has
shown that the fact of memorial day occurring
on week day has dcbarred at least four
fifths of the people from attending, and among
them many having relatives and friends inter-
red in the several cemeteries over whose
graves services were held on such occasions.
1t was the general desire that the Sabbath
should be selected for the occasion, and the
committee, after gaining the consent and ap-
probation of the city clergymen, with only one
exception, appointed Sunday the Goth inst,
as the day to observe the ceremonies.
to lower the public standard of morals and to
weaken the safeguard of every virtue, this is
no time to aggravate or perpetuate that mis-
chief by establishing such precedent" Now,
as every one knows, the memorial services
are purely religious services, inaugurated by
prayer and closed with prayer, and everything
about them suggests the love and mercy of
God towards man. Is it precedent! If so,
does the observance of such ceremonies clover
the standard of public morals? Does it
weaken the safeguard of every virtue? If
SO, why do they not in one place as well as in
another why not in church ornamented by
gliding and fine carving, and attended by form
and ceremony, as well as in the open air with
the breezes of heaven waiting the sweet per-
fume of opening buds, and the glad voices of
the birds warbling praises to their Maker, and
everything about giving one higher and holier
thoughts? If many attend who have nothing
else to do, surely it would be better than dling
away the Sabbath. In regard to the statement
that many will stay away who would gladly
attend on any other day than the Sabbath
will admit that there may be a few; if there
are many am sorry to hear it, because they
must be devoid of patriotism and reverence
for the braves who fell in our country's SER
vice, and having such feelings they would be
decidedly out of place at such service
The day appointed is not Sin violation of
the highest authority in the nation on the
question" He appoints the day for general
observance, but leaves it to the option of the
organization conducting the ceremonies
whether to observe that day or another more
suitable TO them.
In conclusion, | will state that have writ
ten this reply impelled by the same feelings
which feel sure were entertained.b by nearly
every one who read Mr.. Bingham's article.
