LAST Saturday night was indescri-
badly lovely. The moon, floating
like apearly bark, amid the Heavens,
silvered the sleeping earth, and in

of beauty. To make it more charm

us, while quietly ensconced Sin our
little bed" the seductive strains OF
the flute and guitar wooed us from
our slumbers to witness and drink in
the beauty and sweets Of the even

bounded gratitude for their kindly
remembrance.

The Committee beg leave to report the Pumps
in bad condition and almost worthless, only one
out of three in working order
The Cisterns are as we consider very unsafe
and would recommend the immediate recovering
of the same, as they are likely to cave in at any
time with any weight on them-exposed as they
are to teams passing over them. One of them
is supplied with water from the Masonic Build
ing and is the only one that can be supplied with
water from Buildings unless the owners of build
ings will gutter the same, so we can conduct the
water to the cisterns.

SOME of the Democratic papers are re-
preaching Gov. Perham for the generosity
with which he, with the advice and consent
of his Council, bestows justice commissions
on every man who asks. This eensure is ut
terly absurd. 1t is just what every Governor
has done from King to Chamberlain. Since
the authority of these functionaries has been
so much abridged by the law which takes
away their judicial duties and gives them to
trial justices there is little objection to putting
the whole male population in commission.
There are only two things that justices are
now authorized to do that may not with
safety be committed to any hands. ANY two
justices may admit to bail, and reduce the
sum fixed by the magistrate taking recop-
nizance, and any one of them may solempize
marriages. The present Attorney Genel al
has very properly endeavored to have the law
so changed as to avoid the dangerous Iaxity
encouraged by the indiscrminate exercise of
The important power of admitting to bail by
all justices, whether idiots, or "good and true
men," No doubt his suggestions will be
needed. We should insist on some precau-
ton in regard to marriages, also, but from the
Hghtness with which that contract is now an
nuhed III our courts we Judge that it has
come to be regarded as of little consequence.

Details Of the Cartridge Factory Expie-
sion In Paris.

from the N. Y. Herald OF the l9th.j
The loss of life by the explosion OF the cart
ridge factory ON the Avenue Rapp, Champs de
Mars. was mainly among women and chlldren.
40 concussion was felt throughout the city
apd caused the greatest CONSERVATION. I'm
certain what had occurred thousands rushed
in the direction of the columns of white smoke.
The entire population seemed to be on the
streets, all filed with amazement, terror and
curiosity. l met thousands on the road to the
Champs de Mars, rushing away as ii they were
mad, from the scene, with their children and
valuables. Some of them were helping the
wounded along. At the head OF the Avenue
Rapp Ahe scene was terrible one. Several
kousessNere burning, and the rattle of explod-
ing cartridges was incessant; frst there would
be brilliant blaze and then loud explosion.
From the base of the cartridge factory there
shot upward fearful mass of fire and smoke.
Hundreds and thousands of cartridges crack,
ing and rafting, one after the other, mIng,eu
with terrific shrieks of the wounded ana ftlSht-
ened. Nearly all those injured were women
and children. The few men employed IN tne
building We're either killed or fearfully wound
ed. Mutilated forms wee to be seen on every
side grooming and writing with agony,
Across the great place of the Iuvalides up
and down the neighboripg streets ran the ter
rof-stricken multitude, shriekiDg out the names
of mothers, wives and sisters l saw aged
women wringing their bands in despair at the
sudden and overwhelming calamity which had
beiallen them. Uncertainty of the situation
increased the terror every where. For a dis
lance Of several hundred yards your CORES
pendent assisted in placing upon stretchers
the heads, limbs and mutilated trunks of the
hapless victims of the explosion. On one bod
chung the scorched fragments of hoop skirt
| and on the finger of one hand was wedding
| ring, showing that the unfortunate womaI
was wife, and probably a mother, whose chill
dren had shared her tate. Higher up the stree
was mass OF human debris. One body was
scarcely more than so much pulp blackened by
powder. 1t was altogether the most sickenini
| spectacle that can be imagined, and caused
thrill of horror to pass through all who wit
messed it. At half past six o'clock in the even
ing force of cavalrymen was ordered to drive
| away the crowd from the vicinity, as there arr
several other magazines in the neighborhood
| and it was feared that the fire department
would be unable to arrest the flames, and tina
| they too would explode.
As l send this dispatch the excitemen
throughout the city is indescribable. TIL
streets in the quarter where the explosion tool
place are densely crowed with men and wo
men who seem to have lost all control owe
| themselves.

The Belfast Journal, better informed than
the Portland Argus and Advertiser, comedies
that Gen. Sherman did not make the Ku-
Klux speech attribute to him. But it con-
soes itself and justifes its admiration for
Gen. Sherman by reciting the terms of his
celebrated convention, concluded on the 18th
OF April, 1866, with the Rebel General John
ton. Technically Johnston surrendered; but
really Sherman surrendered not only himself
but his army and the whole United States.
By the terms of his agreement with the Con-
federate General the authority of the Rebel
State governments was recognized, the Con-
federates had their existing political rights
guaranteed, and, in short, they were placed
in the same position as before they revoted.
If that contract had not been promptly and
Indignantly repudiated by government and
people it is doubtful if in the end even slavery
itself would have been abolished, and it is
certain that the reconstruction measures in.
GLIDING the three constitutional amendments
could never have become part of our politi-
cal system. The true friends of Gen. Sher-
man will thank no one for reviving the re-
membrance of the most dscreditable event in
the life of that brave and able soldier an event
which at the time it occurred gave circulation
to this parody of a familiar rhyme:
