RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION,

The Maine Central and Kennebec and Port
land Railroads have effected practical con-
solidation, and thereby effected the object
for which they vainly asked legislative au-
thority last winter. The Central Road leases
the Kennebec and Portland for term of 999
years, and the Central stockholders, as con-
sideration, transfer to the stockholders of the
other road one half of their capital stock
The stock of the Kennebec and Portland
Railroad is extinguished, and the corporation
practically goes out Of existence. The Cen
trail Road is to issue bonds and take up those
of the other road as they mature. 1t is vir-
tually a sale of one road to the other. The
track is all to be reduced to the narrow
gauge, and new track to be built from
Danville to Falmouth, thus cutting loose
from dependence on the Grand Trunk. All
the contracts made by either corporation are
to be fulfilled by the consolidation, including
the lease of the Belfast and Moosehead Lake
Railroad. 1t is understood that Judge Rice
will be President and Edwin Noyes Superin-
tendent of the new corporation.

THE NEW YORK ELECTION.

The late election in the State of New York,
following closely upon that of Connecticut,
has a significance that even our republican
friends cannot overlook. The Democratic
majority in New York was last fall 10000
now it is 100000. From Manhattan to Erie
the state has been swept by political tornado
that has left scarce a vestige of opposition in
its path.
These things can have but one interpreta
ton, and that is briefly, that the republican
party has presumed too much upon the for
bearancc or Indifference of the people. The
terrible taxation, the reckless expenditure of
money, the enormous expenses of govern
ment, have pressed SO heavily as to be no
longer endured. A revolution has set in.
And revolutions never 90 backward. Maine
will feel its influence the coming fall

POTATOES IN THE U. S. SENATE.

On the 18th the grave and reverend sena-
tors had the following talk and action on the
subject of potatoes
The House took up the business on the
Speakers table and went into Committee of
the Whole on the tariff.
AT the evening session Mr. Peters, of Me.
moved to increase the duty to % cents per
bushel on potatoes and regretted that the
Committee of Ways and Means should resort
to this small potato business of giving Maine
a slap in the face for the benefit of the New
Brunswick farmers
Mr. Butler of Mass, opposed the amend
ment. Potatoes We're the main stay Of the
poor man and he was not for increasing the
cost OF the poor mans food. A duty of Is
cents per bushel was nearly equal at SO me
times to 100 per cent ad valorem.
Mr.. Farnsworth of Illinois, sustained the
amendment. The Committee had Just raised
the duties on oranges for the benefit of Flori-
da and he did not see why they should not
do the same for potatoes which were the
oranges of Maine. Laughter.
Mr. Peters Of Maine, argued that 10 give
to the British Provinces advantages from low
duties on their chief product would retard or
prevent that movement of annexation now SO
active there because these Provinces must
either be annexed to the American union or
die.
The amendment was agreed to and the
duty on potatoes fixed at % cents per bushel

Hon. Lot NJ. Morrill, has addressed Il letter
to Speaker Blaine, disclaimng any belief
that the latter did not act in good faith in
the Senatorial struggle of last year, and the
letter is published in the Kennebec journal
The Portland Advertiser declines to share the
credulty of its chief, and makes figures to
sustain its belief that there was treachery
in Kcnnebec. Referring to the tact that Mr.
Morrill's friends all over the State, have en-
tertained doubts concerning the fairness of
the means by which he was defeated, the
Advertiser says
Mr.. Morrill, was not called upon to set his opin-
ion against theirs in defence of Mr. Blaine, unless
the rlmor is true. that he has formed an alliance
with Hamlin and Blaine, securing the Senatorship
for himself. conceding the Governorship to Gen.
Jersey, and providing for general distribution f
the spells. We are unwilling to believe that such
a combination hiss been formed, but if it has, we
are of the same opinion now when it was first
announced. 1t will provoke revolution This
State is not going to be partitioned by any council
of politicians, sitting at Washington and usurping
powers never delegated to them.
So there is o be war any how. Well. the
Democracy will try TO be resigned to it.

After the trial and acquittal of Mcfarland,
his late wife made public a statement of
their married life, which the reader will find
on the outside of this paper, If one halt
that she asserts is true, it is apparent that the
wrong man was shot He who could be so
lost to all human sentiment as to treat wo-
man in that manner, to outrage all the finer
feelings of her nature, deserves never to
know the companonship of a woman. So
far from being strange that his wife left him,
il is wonderful that she did not leave him be-
fore
With herself and her children to support,
she needed assistance and sympathy. and
she found both in Richardson. Perhaps they
were indiscreet, but that the intention of
Richardson was to make her his wife when
legally free there can be no doubt. The de-
mand of Mcfarland was that she should con-
tinue for life to be the accomplishing victim
of his brutality, or that the man who should
take pity on her misfortunes should be killed
His act was the crime of murder, if he is an
accountable being. If he is not accountable,
for fear of more murders he should be sent
to madhouse

country, and predicting brilliant, page in
in history to his patriotism, valor and eminent
abilities The General responded briefly,
thanking his old friends for their unwavering
confidence and renewing his ardent love for
his country Speeches were made by several
other persons, and the banquet was an occa-
