WEDNEsDAY.-SamuelD utton vs. Steam Tug
Express. This is a libel to recover damages to the
plaintiffs vessel, called the ga. Hooper," lumber
laden sci ooner which the steam tug Express under
took to tow from her wharf in Ellsworth down the
river to deep waters on the 10th of July last, and
which was run on the flats and damaged, as it is al
leged, by the carelessness of the defendant boat.
Inc carelessness is denied and it is alleged in de-
fence that the grounding was occasioned by the
mismanagement of the persons in command of the
towed schooner and their neglect to obey orders
given from the tug. Haskell s. Lancaster, master of
the schooner, put upon the stand and his exami
nation occupied the whole day. A large number 4
witnesses in attendance both sides, whose
testimony is to be taken.

FREE ST. CHURCH ENTERrAINMENT.-Con-
gress Hall was filled with large and enthu-
siastic audience last evening to listen to the
selection of choruses, glees and quartettes
sung for their delectation by the Free Street
Church choir, accompanied by a young lady
on the piano. This choir consisted of double
quartette and the music was very finely rem
dered several Of the selections receiving hearty
encores The poem on Rings" by George F.
Emery, Esq, was most witty production, and
thoroughly exhausted the subject. He proved
pretty conclusively that it was some ring or
other that governed the success of everybody
and everything in the world, from the cabinet
ring that governed nation to the ring that
decreed how a woman's hair should be dressed.
He paid fine tribute to the memory of thu
gallant Commander Williams of the Oneida

DR.. LEES Of England, will speak on temper
aace at the First Baptist Church to-night
There are many who have complained that
temperance reformers have ceased to make use
of moral agencies in their work, and that coer-
cion has taken the place of persuaton as a
means of preventing intemperance. But this
is not altogether true when such men as DR.
Lees, who has perhaps more thorough ac
quaintance with the subject than any
man in the world, are obtained at consd
trouble and expense to advocate the temper
ance cause. This will be the last opportunit.
to hear DR.. Lees, and we trust he will have I

THE RICHMOND TROUBLE.

RICHMOND, March 3O.-The argument in the
injunction case of Cahoon against Ellison, rel
alive to the Richmond Mayoraty, closed 10 the
nIted States Court to-day. Ex-Cov. Wise in
max ng speech for Cahoon repudiated in
strong terms any utilization with the Black
Republican party aud claimed to be still an
unrepentant rebel. The claimant claimed that
the court has Jurisdiction to establish any of
the officers because Cahoon, as provisional
appo'ntee, is a United States officer and is not
to go out of Office until a regular election by
the people. Eilison's counsel claimed that the
admission of State terminated the powers OF
all pr ,visional officers in the State. The decis-
ion will affect all The Offices in the States, which
are nearly all filled by military appcintees who
will remain in until July if decision is given
in favor of Cahoou.

Our Steam b oat Routes.

Now that all our different lines of steamers
have made their spring arrangements we would
invite the attention of summer tourists to the
many delightful scenes that are offered them
on these different routes, whose headq uarters
are in this city.
As will be seen by advertisement the st.
John line of steamers commence their spring
arrangements this day, leaving for Eastport
and St. John every Monday and Thursday at
ternoon. Very few of our citizens are aware
Of what has been done to open new connecting
routes, and of the opportunities afforded for
weary and overtasked brains and frail consti-
tutions to find rest and a change of scene that
cannot but aid in restoring the system to its
pristine vigor. Eastport. the first landing
place, possesses fine new hotel with every &C.
commodation for the traveller, but should the
tourist prefe: to continue on instead of making
visit among this intelligent and hospitabe
people, he can take steamer 80 miles up the
lovely St. Croix river to Calais and st. Steph-
ems, from whence after brief tarry he can
proceed by railway and steamer up the grand
lakes, where the finest trouting is to be OBJ
tanned, and where Indian guides AMI canoes
may be procured at very moderate prices.
Since the opening of the new railway pas
sengers can take steamboat at ST. John for An
napolIs, N. s., and also railway to Annapolis
and Windsor, passing through Acadia.-which
Longfellow has immortalized in his poem of
Evangeline-the garden of Nova Scotia. At
Windsor may be seen the former residence of
Judge Halliburton (Sam Slick. Halifax will
be found fruitful in interest, from which place
railroad will convey the tourist to Pictou
and thence by steamer to Cape Breton or P.
e. Island. The latter named spot has great
attractions for inva!ids, for during the four
months from June to October the air is delight
fully bracing and free from that chilness
which is so marked feature of the air in
northern ATTITUDES. From Prince Edward Is
land the traveller continues on over the Gulf
Of st. Lawrence to Shediac and other streams
up the north shore to st. John, or reaches that
city by rail, where feast still remains in
trip up the st. John river to Fredericton.
Many consider the scenery of the st. John riv-
er fully equal to that on the Hudson, and not
few have even preferred it.
We shall place the advantages of the other
lines before the public so that they may see
clearly that Portland offers as many induce
ments as starting place for summer travel as
any Of her sister cities.

tirely from that portion of the town which de.
sire by the action of the Legislature to be
called "Oakville." The notice IN the PRESS
that there was to be an attempt to elect four
additional Selectmen, had the effect to arouse
the voters to the importance of the occasion,
and Oakville was not to be out-done. On mo.
tion of Mr.. Payson, the Town voted, that the
number of Selectmen should not be increased
beyond three, and that three should constitute
the plumber, which was carried by almost an
unanimous vote. He then moved that it be
reconsidered, which was voted down as unani-
mously. By parliamentary usage the question
was thus finally disposed Of The Selectmen
elected at previous meeting, viz, Messrs.
Halves, Sawyer and TORY, were made Asses

ANNUAL MEETING MERCHANTS EXCHANGE.
The annual meeting of the Merchants Ex.
change was held at the Exchange Rooms yes
terday morning at II o'clock. The meeting
was called to order by 7. G. Hersey, Esq. The
following gentlemen were nominated Direc-
tors of the Exchange by the Board of Trade
for the ensuing year, Messrs. T. c. Hersey, A.
x. Shurtlef 7. E. Twitchell, Chas E. Jose
and Geo. s. Hunt, and theyIwere unanimously
accepted.
Mr. Hersey said he was sorry to say that
there had been falling off in the number of
members and amount of receipts the past year
and thought that something should be done to
remedy the evil.
Mr.. G.. Il. Haskell thought that efforts
should be made to increase the subscriptions
He said that many thought the banks and
brokers and insurance companies as they de-
rived peculiar advantages from the Exchange
ought to pay more for their privileges.
Mr.. A. x. Shurtleff thought only the CASH
Ter and tellers of the banks had availed them
selves of these opportunities, still he did not
think the banks would object to pay more
He thought there were enough members who
were sufficiently interested in the Exchange to
see that it was properly supported if the SUBJ
ject was properly presented to the ir attention
by q good comm ttee.
Mr.. q. j. Libby moved that the fees for the
admission of cashiers and clerks of banks be
increased to $15, which was adopted. The
fees for brokers and insurance companies was
referred to the Managers of the Exchange.
The meeting then adjourned.
