selves can show a better record Look at the
two points where the Portland and Ogdens-
bnrg road intersects previously established
lines, and there we find manufactures turned
out to the aggregate value of 50 600 for the
two places, and property accumulated to the
value of So, 100000. Look at little Lamolle
county, remote from railroads, containing but
ten towns with only 104 900 out of the 100000
acres within its limits, improved, and over one
third still covered with woods, producing in
1870, 10000 bushels of grain, 1873 900 bushels of
potatoes, with 30 600 head of live stock valued
at e625 900, and b, 900 pounds of wool Even
the maple sugar product of this county last
spring, 1871, is estimated at $50 tons. The ca h

Hon. BIoN BRADBURY in a letter to the
Democratic Convention which the Arous ad
mires So much that it prints it entire twice
in the same paper, joins his brilliant compat-
riot, VIM. ID. Clifford, Esq, in denouncing
the extravaganza of the present admnistra-
ton. This always seems to Us one of the
coolest things that the Democracy can do.
BY their rebellion they created the debt, by
their opposition to funding bills and all prac-
teal schemes for reducing taxation they
throw obstacles in the way Of those who
would tighten its burdens, and by the contin-
ued rebellious attitude of the party in the
South they add greatly to the current expen-
ses of the government. And then then try to
make party capital out of the existence of a
great national debt and the consequent bur-
den OF taxation. The illustration is an old
but extremely apt one which coc,pares the
position of the Democracy tc that of the in :
genious person who Cruelty murdered both
parents ana therr. earnestly besought the court
!" nave Leroy on poor orphan"

THERE is one fact, and rather a striking
one, that the great mass of Democratic verbi-
age on the subject OF the shipping interest
and its decline cannot change or obscure: No
Democrat has ever proposed anything more
than the lOosest geDeralites as a remedy for
this unfortunate decay Of a great interest.
Gu the other hand, the Republican RepIe.
sentative in Congress from this district intro
duced in the House practical scheme, which
received the commeLdatioD of the Maine
Legislature, the shipbuilders of the country
generally, and especially the earnest, rigorous
and unanimous support Of the Maine Ship
builders and ShipoUners Assosiation. The
Argus itself as well as the Boston Post. spoke
In enthusiastic terms Of its provisions. What
has the Democratic party ever done in the
same direction? What can it do? If it OBJ
tanned complete control of the entire country
would IL or conld it repeal the whole tariff?
This general remedy is the only one it pro-
poses, and we should be glad to know if our
Maine Democrats think such proceeding
practicable,

The speech of Gen. Butler in Springfield
Thursday evening, has called out several de.
mas. First, Gen. Hawley gives his proof that
Ien' Butler falsified in his case and gives the
iActs. Mr.. Edward Atkinson denies that be
was present at the Beverly caucus where he
is accused OF voting against Mr.. Butler. The
Boston Journal shows that the accusation
against it is false, SO far as charged of BEING
partial. The Springfield Republican extols
him as the "Great American :Fizzler" The
larger part of Gen. Buffers speech, aside from
its personality, was on the State government
of Massachusetts, and in the discussion of the
tariff question. Mr.. Butler will doubtless have
warm times for the balance of the campaign.

THE RAILROAD FROM PORTLAND.

The p. & o. Railroad now building will
change all this. Ii will give the farmer, the
manufacturer and the lumbermen access to
market. 1t viii stimulate their lahors and en-
large the scope Of their operations. Land will
assume new value because its products can be
disposed of to advantage. Already along the
line of the Portland & Ogdensburg road,
though unfinished, farms have increased in
value from twenty to fifty per cent, according
to their proximity TO the road. Thus, even
those not friendly TO the road, of whom there
are but precious few, concede. This higher
value is simply in anticipation of larger pro-
duction. of increased profits, of a CONSEQUENT
better demand for land, in anticipation of more
trade, OF greater industrial activity, and more
abundant public and private resource. 1t sig
mites that the country will soon be better to
sell goods in than ever before, and better worth
penetrating for business purposes than ever
before.
IL is claimed here in this northern country
that this is the best part of Vermont, and "by
consequence the best part of New England"
1t is true, say the people, there is more popula-
ton, more realized wealth, larger product of
annual industry iu some of the older portions
OF the State. But they began sooner. They
had railroads years ago. Manufactures have
had chance to grow up by the side of agricul-
ture. We have had no chance. But no other

The Shreveport Republican very rerti
nently says:
In all cases where bills granting monOpo-
lies have been forced through the Legisla-
ture they have been vetoed by Governor
Warmoth, and subsequently became laws
by being passed over his veto. Now the
fathers, those who engineered and maneu-
vered those bills through the Legislature,
have the audacity to charge Governor War
moth with the responsibility of their exist
encc. Who introduced the first slaughter
house bill! Carter. Who introduced the
election lawl Carter. Who introduced
the constabulary bill' Ray. Who was in
terested in the Ship Island scheme! Carter
and the majority of those who are the op-
posers Of the Republican party. Is not this
record sufficient to stamp the verdict of
shame upon those now trying to undermine
the popularity of H. c. Warmoth. and aim
ing to destroy the principles which he has
so faithfully been the noble champion and
exponent OF! The record of those men is
too plain TO admit OF doubt of the senti-
nents Of the people and the result of the

During the last fiscal year II TAO men and

ted over the Pacific railroads for the United
States government, at the following cost:
Union Pacific railroad, $o55. SOB IS; Central
Pacific railroad, $66, l23 "a: and Western
Pacific railroad, $3.50 80. One-half of this
was retained at the Treasury and applied
to the interest on bonds of these roads, and
the other half was paid by the Quarter
masters Department to the companies. A
careful estimate shows that the cost of this
