great measure the sad preponderates over the

that the play wonId run for several nights long

has been decided upon as the last nd the play
will be performed for the benefit of the Or

aud EXPECT the public to purchase liberal y,

MOUTH HOTEL We understand that at the
recent conference at the Falmouth Hotel in
this city between the Directors of the Maine

from the Dit ctors of the Belfast & Moosehead
Lake Railroad Company no arrangement was
effected. We understand that the Maine Cen

1st-TO equip and run the road for four years
paying al the net earnings to the other c. N
paDy, and at the expiration of the term to tai
lease and pay rent equal to the largest net
earnings for any one of tine four gears; or
To equip aud run the road aud pay fifty per
cent OF the gross earnings for three years and
forty per cent for forty-seven years.
I'd To take lease for fifty years of the Bel

To pay $3.50 year for fifty years
We learn that the Belfast committee had no
power to conclude any arrangement, but are to

They SHOULD BE CossIsTENT.-Sen-
ator Morton and other Republican
leaders, in their ideas of reconstruc-
ton, are loud in their clamors for a
free ballot to the blacks, and. in or
der to equalize this, they, at the same
time, propose to disfranchise four
million of whites. We can account
for such course as this only upon
the hypothesis that they regard them
selves the intellectual equal of the
Southern black man, but unable te
cope with the superior intelligence Of
the whites. IL these universal suf

A PEACE PRESIDENT WANTS WAR.

It has already been satisfactorily
proven by the ablest jprists in the
land that the ku-klux Force Bill is
unconstitutional. There never was
SO glarirg a departure from the fun
damental law of the land .as this
measure presents, nor one which
must receiy such universal condem-
nation. When the President said
LET us have peace" every heart in
the land echoed the sentiment and a
majority of the people were weak
enough to place confidence in this
utterance and to believe that it was
the true echo from the inmost heart
of the new President. Has he veri-
fed that opinion? No one dare
honestly and intellig emily assert that
he has, but instead, we see him urg-
ing upon his party in Congress the
passage of bill whose only real pur-
pose is to secure his OWN renomina-
ton as candidate for the Presiden-
cy, and whose expected consequence
is to promote hostile feeling, aliena-
tion, antagonism, and con fict be-
tween citizens of the South and citi-
zens of the North. Instead of ginning
at peace, Gen. Grant, and the ma
jority who have obeyed his dictates
in Congress, aim at war. Instead Of
endeavoring to produce order, hisr-
mony, friendly and patriotic senti-
ments between the geographical di-
visions of the Union, they endeavor to
fan into the FIRE the dying remains OF
the old contest.
1t is impossible to exaggerate the
wickedness of such conduct. What
punishment could be too great for
men who, merely to carry on an elec-
ton, light anew the firebrands OF
civil discord, and who are ready to
leopard the peace. the prosperity
and the happiness of the country as
means of controlling its voters?

DANGEROUS PisEcEDENTs.

Carl Schurz understands better than
do some Americans VIC wot of--and the
more the shame to them-thc dan ger
there is in Investing military leader
with unconstitutional powers under the
supposition that he can be trusted. No
free people should allow such precedent
to be set. Says the Missouri Senator:
Give him riches with lavish hand;
cover him all over with gold; steep him
with luxuries; but let not your graft
tude 10 one make you unmindful of your
duty at all. beseech you. let not graf
itude seduce you 10 throw the laws Of
the republic ut his lace.
No nation deserves to be free aud
great, no nation will remain free and
grcat-nay, sir that nation has already
ceased to be free and great. that will
pay debt OF gratitude at the expense
Vi its constitutional rights and liberties.
Let this first precedent of aequies-
ccnee in nn act of usurpation by sue
ccssful soldier pass into our history, aud
you will have struck blow 1T the cause
Of free government that will rcsound
throughout the earth. The natiuns Of
the world will ask: Have the Ameri.
can people become so tired of their con-
stitutional rights that the guardians Of
the Constitution can permit them TO be
invaded not ouly with ilnpuniiy, bat
even without remoastrancc! The ques-
ton will be repaiaed. Is it true. then
what SO frequently has been said. that
the United States issued from their first
revolution as Republic not only by
accident, an accident depending upon
the subl:meiy unselfsh spirit of Wash
ing,on, who Instead of graspipg the
crown. modestly retired to the pillow of
Cipcinnatus? But, on the other hand,
you vindicate the constitution against
the President. a President Of your own
choice-and the world will understand
that in this Republic at least no man
can grow SO great as to overtop the
majesty of the laws, that here at least
Republican institutions are safe, for they
are 10 the keeping Of men who "know
their rights, aud, knowing, dare main

THE HEATHEN CHINEE.-A Califor
MIA paper thinks tho Chinese settlements
in tho coast towns OF that state are lay
ing up for the Pacific slope one Of those
pestilences which every now and then
desolate the Orient. According to the
account the health officers in utter des-
pair Of forcing anything like cleanliness
or decency upon the Chinese Quarters,
have given up those parts Of the towns
to an unrestrained filth, immortality and
squalor, and while SO far the healthful
sea breezes have averted any great dan
ger, one warm season would send q
scourge abroad to extend throughout
the land. That such season may be
expected IS argued from the fact that
the climate on the coast of California is
perceptibly changing to one Of calmness
and greater heat. Taking tnis circum-
stance into account with the fact that
the Chinese immigration was the third
in extent last year, something over clev-
en- thousand Celestials seeking Califor-
MIA, it can be seen that the journal from
which this hint Of the coming pestilence
in the track Of the coming manais deriy-
cd has some reason fqr its fears,
