tbs PoRGY CAsE.-Yesteriay morning, the
men who were arrested for taking porgies in a
seine within three miles of the Cumberland
shore, were discharged by Judge Morris. The
question was one of jurisdiction merely. The
statute in regard to this offence provides two
methods of procedure, one by indictment and
the o'her by action of debt brought in the name
OF the inhabitants of the county. In the first
case the complaint must be made to trial JUS
tice, aud Municipal Courts are not given juris-
diction. On this ground Judge Morris dis
charged the respondents and ordered the res
toration of their property. About as soon. how
ever, as the prisoners were discharged, Sheriff
Perry attached the vessel and gear on writ in
favor of the County of Cumberland. AID

PORTRAIT OF TIRE LATE SENATOR FEssENDrN
Hale received yesterday and has placed in his
window, the portrait of the late Hon. W. p.
Fessenden, painted by A. H. Bicknen. for
Memorial Hall, Bowdoin College. The portrait
is three quarter length, representing the SEN
ator seated in large arm chair, evidently in
the attitude of one listening to speech, and,
considering the difficulties that the artist bad
to encounter,-for he never saw Mr.. Fessepden
but painted the picture from card photograph
is very satisfactory. But one requires to see
the expression upon the living features to OBJ
tain perfect likeness. Mr. Fessenden, whose
latter years were marked by disease, bore in
his countenance the traces of his sufferings be-
sides the cares that weis he'd heavily upon him
making his face one that would attract atten-
ton among multitude. Particularly notice
able was his compressed lips which gave cold
repelling character to his features. The pic
ture here presented is wanting in those mark
ed lines and frowns that Mr.. Fessenden's face
possessed and displays the smoothness of coun-
finance and roundness of feature that, belong
to much younger man. The coloring lacks
tone and softness about it that weakens the
face. The accessories are very well painted.
The frame is very handsome and one of the
heaviest we have seen.

DEATH OF AN OLD TEAcHER--We record
to-day the decease of Rev. Solomon Adams,
who died at his residence in Auburndale,
Mass, on the 10th inst, at the age of % years.
Mr.. Adams was educated for the ministry,
and, we believe, preached foc time in Ma
chias. His health forbidding labor as pastor
he engaged as teacher, and for sometime kept
the academy at Machias. Subsequently be came
to this city and established an academy for
young ladies' which was largely attended.
There are many Of his pupils both here and in
Washington county, who will receive the in
telligence Of his decease with unfeigned sor.
row.
After bringing his academy here to a high
state of cultivation he removed to Boston, and
took charge Of the Seminary for Young La
dies in that city, which had been organized and
successfully carried on by Mr.. Bailey. His
management Of this institution was crowned
with the same success that his Portland one
had enjoyed, and he proved himself popular
teacher-one we'll fitted for the vocation he had
chosen. Els wife was the eldest daughter Of
the late David Dana, Esq, of this city, and
she survives him.

equal rank in the class, bat the valedictory
honor was assigned to George Chase of this

New England State besides Connecticut.

City roaf Contract.

To the Editor oFtae Press.
The city has called through her coal dealer:
for 400 tons of Hoboken coal-to be the best
quality of sugar loaf Lehigh This very natur.
ally was not quite understood by the trade
Later the Hoboken was left out and now the
requisition seems to call alone for sugar loaf
The question arises, would not a still furtbe,
amendment in the statement of the cities wishes
be in taste and admissible? Why patch on the
technical term, Sugar Loaf" thereby confin-
ing the supply sought for to one single colliery
excluding coal from other mines equal in quail
ity-some good judges thinking superior? For
instance the HezeltoD, Harleigb, Old Compa-
ny, &c, according to the tenor of the call re-
ierred, to bid to supply any of these latter
Goals (say nothing of the fine class ofcoais usu-
ally shipped from PHILADELPHIA would not be
entertained, thrown aside, or discarded, for the
simple fact that it is not "Sugar Loaf" al
though, perhaps better, and very likely at a
lower price. 1t is suggested that the Sugar
Loaf mentioned above be removed, thereby
giving and permitting our dozen or fifteen
merchants in that line of business chance to
offer what they have, and that with some rea-
sonable hope that their bids would receive at
tention; not as it is now, apparently catering
for the product Of one colliery, firm or agent,
per consequence entirely destroying competi-
tive action in the premises. An expenditure
calling for $4,000 to $4,000 certainly seems to be
Of some moment, at least, consequence enough
to try to avoid a repetition of the stupid plum
der made last season in this very matter. p.

TO Ae''rs. James II. Ferguson, Charles s. Le,sis
and James W. Jackson, Members elect 10 The
House Of Delegates Of West VirgiHia.
GENTLEMEN ;-You Nill have before you, as
members OF the Legislature, the question as to
the best and most speedy means of restoring all
the citizens Of the State to the right of suffrage
take IL for granted that you will at once repeal
the Regis tration law, and all test oaths. But.
to accomplish the mission OF the party which
you, in part represent, you will have to pass an
act prescribing the kind of evidence which shall
be necessary to exclude a citizen from the exer-
else of this right. l maintain that it should be
recorded evidence and nothing less. Do this.
and the Flick Amendment becomes an inmate
rial thing.
viii venture to suggest the form of the act
necessary to accomplish this end Here II is
"e " e"aeted Jy he Legislature Of West Viryinia
That the male citizens of the State shall
be entitled to vote at all elections held
within the election districts in which thew
respectively reside but no person who Is 4
minor, or OF unsound mind, or paupcr, or
who is under conviction Of treason, felony.
or bribery in an election or who has not
been a resident of the State for one wear.
and OF the county in which he clTers to vote
for thirty days next preceding such offer
shall be permitted To vote while such disa-
blhty continues. No person who. since the
hrst day ofJune, 1861, has given or shall
give voluntary aid or assistance to the re-
bellion against the United States, sh al be
allowed to vote at any election therein, un-
less he has volunteered into the niilitarv
service of the United States, and has been
or shall be, honorebly discharged ,herafrom;
Ior'ded, however, that no person shali be
denied the right to vote at any such cleo
ton, upon the ground that be gave. or has
gwen, voluntary aid or assist lance TO Their,
oel.lon against the United States, unless he
has been convicted thereof by the verdict of
Jury IN court Of competent Jurisdiction. 50
The Fourteenth Amendment to the Con
siituion If the United States makes ms nh
citizens, and the Fifteenth Amcudmont CON
ters The right to vote upon all citizens with
out regard to race, color, or previous cou-
ditlon. And the foregoing scheme Of a sec
tion conforms to both amendments.
Is 1t rot certain TO your minds that The
Legislature can prescribe the KIM Of oyi.
dence which shall exclude a citizen from
the night of voting? To my mind it is per
fccty clear.
You will find a precedent for this form
OF legislation in the election law passed bv
the Virginia Legislature, April ,, 1881.
Supplement to the Code, page 90. You
may possibly hear from me again.
