A secret organization known as the Union
Leagues of the United Sons of America,
composed principally of young workingmen,
is forming in Cincinnati to oppose Roman
Catholicism in all its shapes. All nationali-
ties will be admitted.
The following are the particulars about the
caucus of the left centre of the National As
sembly, which voted for the prolongation Of
nj. Theirs powers as President of the repub-
lie: The deputies of the left centre, who are
nominally all moderate republicans, were
convened by circular, which bore the sig
nature of NJ. Gambetta and others, for the
purpose of shaping policy for the party and
to take some definite action concerning the
proposed extension of NJ. Therss term of
office. The meeting was very harmonious.
All the members spoke in praise of M. Thierss
administration, and recommended him as the
only man who is now capable to keep the
balance between all parties. The meeting
decided to support M. Theirs in his policy of
moderation, and to discourage the maneuvres
of the legitimists and the Bonapartists. One
deputy submitted motion requesting the
government to abstain from all interference
in the Roman question. 1t was accepted.
The caucus then voted by majority of 100
against 5, to advocate in the national assem-
bly, the prolongation of M. Thiers's powers
for three years, with provise that NJ. Theirs
should bear the title of President of the
French republic, instead Of chief of the ex-
| eeutive, as heretofore. The meeting re-
solved at the same time to create the office
of vice president, the vice-president to be at
the same time president of the council. 1t
was further decided to express confidence in
NJ. Theirs by giving him the power to choose
the vice-president; but M. Theirs alone is to
be responsible for the government.

1t would seem on the surface that the ice
and granite business in Maine had reached
point to go beyond which would be an I'M
profitable investment. But when we con-
slider that the trade in these staple products
OF our State is yet in its infancy,-that from
every part of the country new orders are
coming every year that the south and west
are asking for the cooling luxury of ice from
our rivers and the enduring granite from our
hillsidss,-it will appear that there is vet
something to be done to supply this constant
ly widening field. We all know how it is
ourselves that Maine ice knocks the frost off
of ice from any other region except the north
pole; and that contractors for public edifces
pass through State after State noted for their
granite to examine the quarries embedded in
the hill country and islands of Maine. Mar
bic is being rapidly discarded in the erection
of buildings intended to be enduring and the
beautiful fine-grained granite of Maine is to
become the popular material, until the granite
business Of the State shall reach the proper
