Eay. d. W. Mum has charged, in every
champaign speech he has delivered, that
Colonel Crcbs voted against the Schcnck
bill which sought TO relieve the people of
ssO,00o,000 Of taxes; and he quoted, or
pretended to quote, McPherson's Hand
Book of American Politics in support of
the charge. The authority he produces is
unqucstionable, but unfortunately for Mr..
Mum, it shows that when the sections of
the bill were considered, seriatup., Mr..
Crebs voted right every time, and when
the bill was put upon It's passage he rotod
for il. This fact could not have escaped
Mr.. NUNS observation, for Il
Is recorded on the same page he
quotes from, and is as conspicUous
US any other fact rccited there. This
being true, has not Mr.. Mum forfeited all
claims upon the respect and confidence of
truthful, candid men? 1t is no excuse for
him that Mr.. Crebs voted "not to agree to
the report Of the conference committee"
because in no way can that vote be con-
strucd into vote against the bill. Had
majority voted with MI. Cyebs The effect
Of the vote would not hayo been IA, doC.ut

greatly reduced the tariff. Col. Crebs
voted against this bill.
The Carbonate Ne'c Era, from which

al lecturing season, aud that in the acceptance
of the invitations he had received he was
obliged to decline about nine hundred othors
AS our correspondent mentioned a few week.
since in letter from the home of Mr.. Gopob
the orator said that he had been unable to nre
pare new lecturer for this season, and would
give one, by the suggestion of the committee,
that he had not given here since 1862 But it
was new to many if not all present, and wheth
er new or old, it was like all his lectures, wei,
worthy Of a repeated delivery. OF course the
lectures of this very entertaining orator, as
every one knows, are to be heard to be appre-
ciated fully; but it is enough to say that for
wit, pathos, eloquence, practical suggestions
and a fund of illustrative story, it would be
difficult to find its match on the part of any
orator on such subject He said that the SUBJ
feet of tie perence aroused his soul most thor.
oughly and, he intmated that he would have
liked to have given lecture on that subject

A HIGH HANDED PRocEEDINa-iSte of
Steamer.-Iu yesterday mornings PRESS we
stated that the steamer Victoria had left this
port To those who are about the wharves this
announcement was very singular as it was we'll
known that she had been attached for debt,
and had keeper on board, and further, that
those debts had not been liquidated.
The steamer was owned by David s. Mills Of
Mystic, Conn.,, and on the 23d day of last Sep
TENDER she was attached at the instigation of
the hands employed in the porgy factory at
Little Chebeague Island for on.payment of
wages, it being we'll known that the Porgy Fac
tory Company failed a short time ago and that
they sold out the property at great sacrifice,
and that they had net paid the men. The Vic
toria was used as q tender in connection with
this factory and since the attachment has been
lying off Custom House Wharf.
Monday night, at about midnight, the watch
on board the revenue cutter lying at Calls
Wharf, saw the Victoria get under way, drop
down to the mouth of the harbor, and disap-
pear, since which time she has not been heard
from. 1t was noticed that the movements on
board were very quiet, but nothing was
thought of it at the time. The keeper was car
ried of with the vessel, and is supposed to have
been overpowered or drugged. His family are
very anxious about his safety, but it is not
probable that any bodily injury was inflicted
upon him. His abduction is in itself crime,
and the whole transaction is a high-handed
outrage, which will entail some very inconven-
lent consequences upon the authors and in
struments of the conspiracy.
The Victoria is propeller of 1874 tons bur-
then with black hull and two masts. Her
sails are at Little Chebeague and Mills tried to
get them from that place but the person in
charge refused to to deliver them. A despatch
was received from Boston yesterday stating
that the Victoria had arrived there on her way
to New York and Sheriff Perry Immediately
telegraphed to the Captain of the Harbor Po-
lice to arrest Mills and the crew.
