The following address to the Governor, sign
ed by the committee of the citizens OF Port
land, was, as We learn, forwarded to him some
time ago, in the words following:
To HIS Escellcncy,J j. L. Chamberlain, Govern
or of Maine:
The undersigned citizens of Portland, in the
County of Cumberland, and State of Maine,
respectfully represent,-that in the language Of
your address to the Legislature of Maine, in
January last,-"it is dangerous to place the
public at the mercy of monopoly, unrestrain-
ed by responsibility to the State, and relieved
from checks of competition" which had been
foreshadowed "by the proposed consolidation of
prominent lines in the State, that contract,
under date of May r. 1870, between the Maine
central Railroad Company and the Portland
and Kennebec Railroad Company, has been
signed by the Directors of each Company, for
Inc consolidation of the Maine Central and
hennebec lines, which practical consolidation,
now attempted is ag tinst the declared opinion
oI me Legislature, and, as we believe, contrary
W ,aW' ana 10 the best interests of the State;
ana they respectfully ask the Governor OF
maine to take such measures as may be in his
0mciai power, to arrest such proceedings,

NO action was at that time deemed necessary
as legal proceedings could not be entered upon,
until some actual demonstration was made to
carry ont the contracts agreed upon.
The contract of May 18th, 1870, provided for
change of gauge upon the Maine Central
Railroad, and the building of new line from
Danville Junction down to the line of the
Portland and Kennebec Railroad. As soon as
1t was announced that q location had been
made, and contract entered into to build the
line from Danville Junction, measures were
taken for judicial examination of the rights
of the parties interested, rand proper notices
served upon the contractors.
By the act of April 18th, 1852, Chap. 81, pro-
hibiting such lease, it is made the duty of the
Attorney General, on information, to bring
writ of quo warranto against any offending
corporation, before the Supreme Judicial Court
and the Court is authorized to ia Ike action in
the premises. The provisions of this act were
continued in force by the Revised Statutes
1S57, and re-enacted in 1870.

the Inflated barqne Arthur Kinsman arrv-
ed in this city yesterday noon and proceeded
ut once to his home in Yarmouth. The barque
encountered severe storm at sea on Friday,
and on Sunday, when in the chops OF the

At a special meeting Of the City Council
held on Saturday afternoon, the following
order was passed:
Ordered, That the city of Augusta hereby
agree to assume the responsibility of any fish
way ordered to be made through or over the
Kennebec dam at Augusta, in accordance
with the terms of the petition of b. II. Cush-
man and others, this day presented.
The petition referred to in the order is as
follows
To the City Council Of augusta:
The undersigned, citizens of Augusta, re-
spectfully represent that they regard the i'm
mediate repair of the Dam, and the prescrva-
ton of the Water Power created thereby as
of great Importance to the property of the
city. And, understanding that the recent
legislation, in regard to tisli-ways, stands in
the way of making such repairs, we deem it
expedent, and recommend that the city should
assume the expense of making fish-way in
the Dam, or of defending against want Of
it, upon the condition that the owners of the
Dam proceed at once to complete and repair
it, and then to go forward in the erection of the
new factory.
This petition is signed by our most re-
sponsible and reliable citizens, representing a
large amount of taxable property. There is
now no doubt, that with this guarantee, the
Messrs. Sprague will go Immediately for
ward in the construction of the dam, and the
erection of the new mill. The petition was
presented jointly by Messrs. Farwell and
Bradbury, who represented the necessity of
this action in an able manner.

Mr.. Cyrus G. Arnold, an old man 20 years
of age, living on Cushnoc heights in this
city, committed suicide about halfpast ten
o'clock Saturday forenoon, by hanging him
self by piece Of rope to . ladder, placed
against barn. His body was first discovered
by neighbor, Mr.. Lane, who ran and cut
it down, but life was extinct Mr.. Lane had
previously observed the deceased about the
premises in the forenoon, when he was un-
doubtedly watching for an opportunity TO
commit the deed unnoticed. We understand
that Mr.. Arnold has been worth quite a pro-
perty, but lost it all in land speculations.
The old man had an idea that he should be
compelled to go to the poor house, and was
heard to say in the presence of a lady few
days ago, that rather than go to the poor
house he would commit suicide. This fear
and i'll health for a number of years probably
prompted him to commit the deed. Coroner
VIM. II. Libby was called, and after nvesti-
eating the case, concluded that an inquest
was unnecessary.

BERLIN, July 8.
The report that Baron Weither the Prus-
sian ambassador at Paris has been recalled
is not true. In official circles here the situa-
ton is thought to be free from danger.
Bismarck has neither assisted nor advised
Spain in the IIohenzollcrn matter, and Ma
poleon's attempt to hold him to any RESPONSE
bility is therefore regarded mere pre-
text.
PARIS, July 8.
There seems to DC no doubt that the govt
has received the long expected answer from
the Prussian government on the Spanish
throne difficulty. 1t is admitted in well in
formed circles that Prussia made the follow
ing parts:
First, Disclaiming all interest in the can
didaturc of Prince IIohenzollcrn.
Second, That the Prince of Hohenzollern
is no relative of the Royal family of
Prussia.
Third, That Gen. Prim negotiated with the
Prince, and he must be responsible, and not
Prussia.
The answer is not satisfactory to France,
and the Duke DE Granmont has forwarded
another despatch to Berlin.
Circulars have heen issued recalling to their
commands all officers and soldiers who are
absent on furlough. Large quantities of
powder and war stores of all kinds are being
conveyed to the strongholds on the eastern
frontier. The government authorities have
in their possession plans of all the fortresses,
roads canals and other public work in Prussia.
The government has taken measures to put
the garde national and the garde Mobile on a
war footing. Agents of the government are
now in Hungary purchasing horses and hay
for cavalry service.
