RAILROAD CONsoLIDATION.-There seems to
be little need of legislation to enable railroads
to consolidate when they can effect their FUR
poses almost as we'll, but in an indirect way,
with such authority as they have. Two rail-
road meetings were held at Augusta, Tuesday,
of which the following is an account:
The stockholders of the Somerset and Ken
nebec Railroad Company met to consider the
proposition of the oltland & Kennebec Rail
road Company to consolidate the capital stock
of both roads by giving one share of their stock
as it now stands, without dividends the present
year, for every two shares of the Somerset and
Kennebec Railroad. This proposition was
agreed TO. 1t was then yoted to authorize the
directors of the company to enter into a con-
tract continuing the lease to the Portland and
Kennebec Company for the term of 999 wears.
upon the condition that the stock shall be So
consolidated, and that said company shall pro-
vide for and pay the mortgages and other debts
of the Somerset and Kennebec Company, prip-
cipal and interest, as thew fall due, and hold
the same harmless from all its existing liabli-
ties, said payments being in lieu of the annual
rent stipulated in its present lease, and like
wise to pay to the Portland and Kennebec
Company the difference in value between such
bridge as they may build over the Kennebec
at Augusta and that required under the exist
ing lease when said lease shall be terminated.
The present lease runs about fourteen years
longer, and its provisions require the Portland
and Kennebec Company to return the proper
ty to the Somerset and Kennebec Company in
as good condition as they found it. The recent
destruction of the bridge at Augusta rendered
the above action necessary.
In the afternoon there was meeting of The
stockholders of the Portland and Kennebec
Railroad Company, at which a large amount Of
stock was represented. It was unanimously
voted to authorize their directors to perform all
the acts necessary and proper to carry into
effect the various nrODOsitiOnS confainad in tho
votes passed by the stockholders of the Somer-
set and Kennebec Company. The votes of the
two companies do not go into practical opera
tion until after Jan. 1, 1871.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
A Fraud upon Housekeepers.


The success attending the sale Of Pyle's Dietitic
Saleratus during the past ten years, has made it
staple article, that is sold about close -four
sugar. But among the grocerymen there are those
who resort to very disreputable means to dissuade
their customers from the of this celebrated ar
tice, Tor the purpose of supplying something cheap
er, from which they derive larger profit. House.
keepers do themselves great injustice by submitting
to such imposition, and incur the risk of consuming
unEholesoms Il not dangerous material, which,
though pleasing 10 the eye, may be very unfit to
enter into our daily Bread.
Pyle's Saleratus is always put up in pound pack
ages and Il ey that persist in getting it will
have occasion to regret the effort. ALI FirstClass
drocers keep it.

The Republicans are hard at work in Con-
necticut, with the expectation of being able
to carry the election by small majority next
Monday. Mr.. Dawes has been summoned
from Washington to do the same effective SER
vice in behalf of Governor Jewell, who is a
candidate for reelection, that he did for Gov
ernor Stearns in New Hampshire. Other
prominent speakers, among them the elo,
quent Mr.. Fitch of Nevada, are also engageu
in the campaign. Grants majority ILL .o'o
was 3O45. Last spring Gov. Jeweh was elec'-
ed over the Democratic candidate, James 4.
ENGLISH bv AL majority. At the same time
the Republicans elected their Congressman in
the first, second and third districts, while the
Democrats succeeded only in the fourth.
English is again the Democratic candidate,
and on being interviewed recently said that
his defeat was beyond the bounds of posi-
bility." His hopefulness is greater than the
circumstances seem to warrant, but the re-
suit may justify it. The few hundred negroes
who have residence in Connecticut cannot
vote this year, on account of the delay in pro-
claiming the ratification of the 18th amend
ment. But the Republicans are in a position
Of peculiar strength nevertheless. During
the administration of Gov. Jewell, aided by
Republican Legislature, the State debt has
been reduced more than three hundred thou
sand dollars. During the Democratic admin
htration that preceded it, no such marked f.
naucial improvement was discernible. The
Republicans naturally make as much as pos
sible of this point, which is a very strong one.
Meanwhile Democratic tactics are peculiar.
The platform, as Southern paper truly re-
marks, is one on which any Southern man or
rebel might gladly stand. 1t is, in short,
Copperhead platform. Conscious of the diff
Guilty Of carrying the State under such me-
dieval banner, the Democracy resort to in
trigne. They coquette with the labor reform
party and even the temperance party! They
have even gone so far as to propose direct
alliance with the prohibitionists. This is
title further than even the effrontery of
Maine Democracy will carry it. When the
temperance men voluntarily offer indirect as
sistance it is modestly and thankfully accept
ID, as 1t was last year and will perhaps be
again this year. Our Maine opposition lead
en- might learn the first elements of political
strategy from their more accomplished Con-
Aecticut brethren.

SUICIDE AT CHERRYpIELp.-A nrivato lst,or

TIE TEXAS BILL-An amusing incident
occurred in the Senate Tuesday, daring the
attempt to get the Texas bill on its passage,
Mr.. Vickers, the venerable Senator from Ma
ryland, was recognized by the vice-President
. entitled 10 the floor, and to the dismay O,
the friends Of Texas, unpacked about half a
ream Of manuscript, raped for a glass Of
water, cleared his throat, and was about to
commence an elaborate speech against the
eligibility Of Gen. Ames. The friends of the
Texas bull appealed to him to give way. Thur
man and Casserly cried out Don't do it.n
vickers was confused; he wanted 10 be cour-
teous and yield. he looked at his COLLEAGUE
lAsmilton) whose countenance said "vieidH
ana 70 Bayard on the left, who begged him
not 70 give way. Vickers had it in MS power
TO put the Texas bill over until to-morrow.
he sat halfway down, rose up again. nartiv
rolled up bis manuscript, unrolled it, hesitat-
ID, looked ct Sherman, bowed eracefulIv and
subsided. So the Texas bill came up and
was passed in five minutes, minus the Clause
which gave the State the right to be admitted
with or without slavery, which had been
strangely overlooked in the House.

& TIE DEATH OF LAWRENCE DOYLE
Lawrence Doyle, who has been in the State
Prison since May IS, 1854, under sentence OF
death for the murder of a little girl in the
town Of Strong, died on Friday last, after an
illness Of one week. Up to the time of his
decease he asserted his entire innocence of
the crime. There are many hundreds Of persons
in the State of Maine who believe that DOYLE
was innocent of the fearful crime of which he
was found guilty. Among these is his counsel,
Hon. E. F. Pillsbury of Augusta, who, not
content with defending him with consum-
mate ability through two trials, has adhered
to the theory of his clients innocence ever
since, and with singular humanity has avail
ID himself of every opportunity to secure his
pardon. This, we are assured, he has done
without compensation and even at consider
able expense to himself. He is the one
friend that never abandoned Doyle to the
last. If we are not mistaken Warden Rice
has for some time been convinced that the
deceased was guiltless.
