Consolidation.

Mr.. EDITOR: You quote from the new R,
H. consolidation act now before the Legisla-
ture this public safety provision, it being part
OF Section 7th, "nor shall anv cor.
poratlon organized under the provisions of
this act, be authorized to increase the general
aggregate of its rates for freight or fare above
the general rates of the Maine Central or
Portland G. Kennebec Railroad as existing
Jan. l, 1870, without the consent of the LIE.
gislature." This is very speciously, think I
may say, cunningly worded, to quiet the fears
of the public, and to assure them that they
cannot fare any worse under consolidation
than they have heretofore Jared under the
separate management of the two roads-that
the rates of freight and fare cannot be advanc-
ell from what they were for the year ending
Jan. l, 1870. And yet no such thing is said
and probably no such thing was intended by
the trainers of that section. Are the public
willing to accept the aointer rates on those
roads, as the rate for the whole year round ?
Some of the stockholders boast they are now
getting about six cents mile for some of their
local travel. Is the consolidation to be allow
ed to charge these winter fares for summer
travel? and if compelled by water competi.
ton to put down the rates in summer, as they
have been heretofore, is the new corporation
to make up this deficiency by extra rates
above those now current-that "the general
aggregate of its rates" flor that is the Ian
guage of the act) shall equal the rates existing
Jan. 1, 1870? Reader, do you see that cat under
the meal? There are several more in the bill.
but. have only time now to admonish the
people OF Maine, and especially their Repre-
sentatives now in Legislature assembled, to
beware of railroad monopolies.

The Infrmilies of Age.

Decrepitude is the natural accompaniment OF old
age, but it NAV be ameiorated. and the period OF
entire heIpessness long postponed by the judi ious
use of healthful stimulant. PLY sicians, fully
aware Of this fact usually recommend moderate slim
ulation when the strength and vigor of maturity
have been suspended by the feebleness and prostra
ton which are the inevitable result, of declining
years. Port wine, gin, brandy. and other quors are
often prescribed by medical men tor aged persons,
but the imL ulse which fermented and distilled
liquors give 10 the circulation and the energy they
seem tn impair, Is transitory, un'ess the alcoholic
principle IS modied and qualified by the Irest oi
meoic nal tonics and rnyigorahts. Ut all the combs

REVOLVING statements of alleged cruel
treatment OF sailors at sea are made by eight
men belonging to the crew of the Ship Nep-
tune, which arrived in New York on Saturday
last. 1t is charged that the captain and officers
OF the ship, during the voyage from Liverpool,
not only kicked aud beat the crew after the
usual fashion, without cause, but that they
invented the diabolical torture of making
them stand upon their heads, until, as one of
the victims says, my eyes felt as il they won d
burst; my tongue hung out of my mouth, and
thought was dying" Another swears that

me let go my hold ; he then tried to throw ne

main yard, he fired three shots at me, the balls
passing close to my head" A third testified
that "the captain put me in irons; fell aslerp |;
he found me in this CONDITION and beat me GU
the head with cowhide; be then put a broom
handle under my knees and doubled me up so
I could not move; he then pricked me in the
back with sword and struck me on the face
with it, severely cutting my nose; he has
beaten me several times with an iron Delaying
pin; the second mate knocked me down with
lamp, and while down kicked me on the
head with his heavy sea-boots, cutting my
head and breaking my hose. The men
assert that no cause existed for the perpetra-
ton of the inhumau cruelties to which they
say they were subjected. and have preferred
charges against the officers for a criminal
prosecution, aud have also commenced civil
suit for damages
