The Committee.

The Radical papers of this city in com
mon with Radical members of Congress
are greatly exercised at the idea Of an in
vestigation by the Committee which ha,
left Washington to look into the recon,
disturbances in our midst. We may no,
go so far as to class the Picayune openly
with those papers but it sympashises with
them most earnestly on this point. It
finds the prospective cost of the excursion
a most useless waste of money aud thinks
that the files of our city journals covering
the period of the events in question would
be sufficient to enlighten those gentlemen
as fully as there would be any occasion for
and without putting them to the inconven
fence of leaving Washington.
We can hardly see the force of this sup-
gestion when we remember that the said
Journals gave very different coloripps to
the proceedings to be investigated. Which

| JUDICIAL RIGoR.-Some DAYS since the
Mother Superior of the House of the Good
Shepherd was arrested by order of the
Judge of the Fifth District Court of this
city and brought before him on a charge of
contempt of court. The judge at first de-
creed penalty of three hours imprison-
ment upon the Sister for not having an
peared in court in response to some pre-
vlous writ, but, on reflection, RENTED the
punishment. The Judge was probably not
aware that the ladies conducting that
House belong to a clustered order and
cannot appear in public without violating
their vow. The sheriff, Mr.. Sauvinet.
very politely went in person to con-
duct the Sister to court, but finding
that she could not possibly go with
him voluntarily and must be subjected
to force, he discreetly withdrew in great
state of perple1ity. Fortunately the ex-
pedient presented itself to his mind of con.
sulting the Archbishop when Lis Grace sent
to the Sister note ordering compliance
with the arrest, which was virtually dis
pensatiOn from her vow.
1t is evident that the Courts ought in
such cases to send Commissioners
would rendex unnecessary the public ap-
pearance of the Religious. In fact, a law
20 that effect exists in favor of til. Ursulines
and ought to be extended to all clustered
orders.

Mechanics and Laborers Of Portland:
You are CALLED upon today to vote upon a
matter of vital Importance to the city of your
birth, or al ,ption, Have you carefully con-
sidered the question, in the light of the past
experience Of Portland, in loaning her credit
for the same ends to be secured? Or have
you taken counsel of those who care not the
toss up of copper whether business is in
creased or not, and who will not invest from
their ample means a single dollar in aid of
any project to benefit the workingmen? No
city or town in New England has ever yet
suffered to the extent of dollar for any loan
Of credit to railroads, and yet, these men and
their hired croakers on the streets and through
the public press would have you believe that
the effect of a moderate loan to a road
which will be almost exclusively the property
of the city, will SO increase your taxes
as to oblige you to fly from her borders, as
from a pestilential locality. On the other
who, tcith money, possess also a single pro-
gressive idea, or grain of public spirit, urg-
ing you to look at the exodus of mechanics
and laborers that has been going on for so
many months, and by your vote for the Og-
densburg Loan, and the consequent opening
up of new avenues of trade, to recall to our
midst these exies who have suffered by the
''do nothing policy, as well as of filling your
hands with the labor on which you depend
for success. With whom will you cast
your lot? Look carefully over the list of
friends and enemies of this 'Loan" and
see from whom you have received most pat
ronage and aid, and from whom you may
most safely take counsel. Do this in all can
dor, and the vote of to-day shall bear the
same proportion as did the meetings at City
and Fluent Halls on Saturday evening last.
And now a word of the rival, or "Ossipee"
route so much harped upon by the OPT Osers
of the "Ogdensburg'' in Portland, and the
projectors of the plan in Vermont. Space
will not admit of an extended argument here
but am personally acquainted with the real
manager of that scheme, and know that the
statement of ex-Gov. Hendee of Vermont, in
regard to the power of the vermont Cen
trial." and its dangerous embrace, is a fact.

For the Press.l
A Lesson From Experience.

1 will give you in as few words as possible
an account of small speculation that 1 en-
tered into with hundreds of others. When
the Atlantic and st. Lawrence railroad was
in contemplation, and efforts were being made
to raise the means to construct it, which
may not be inapropOs at the present crisis of
the Portland & Ogdensburg road, 1 was
firm believer in the great value of the road to
the city of Portland and vicinity, as well as
the country through which the road should
pass Though not so much faith in the cash
value of the stock, which was secondary
consideration.) 1t was the road that was
looking for my profits from. Without money
and very little real estate l d, termined to add
mite in proportion to my size, to the gener-
al fund, being fully satisfied if the road should
be completed, and l should continue a citizen
of Portland, and the stock should be worth
less, should still be much better off than
without the road. Having full faith in this
view of the case subscribed for ten shares,
twice as much as my share would have been
If the city had been taxed for the whole road.

became due. The result was better than my
most sanguine expectations; nor did have
to wait to have the road finished before re-
ceiying returns for my money. The money
that was paid for stock was soon paid out for
materials, to laborers, mechanics, traders, and
tbey in turn paid it out for their supplies, and
II was but short time before l could count
over railroad money the second time; or as
our friend John Neal would say it was mere
" taking the ''money out of one breeches
pocket and putting it into the other"
At the end of ten years l balanced my
account with the railroad. My cash receipts
foi the same amount of business increased,
at a very low estimation 5000 per year; my
real estate for which l paid $500, and with
out the road would not have brought much
in advance, / sold for 100. sold the stock for
81 per cent and interest. There are
many items of value for which / have not
credited the road, and after making all de-
ductions | cannot strike the balance less than
$4,000 in favor of the road, ON this small be-
ginning.
Now believe that there is as good or a

they really are, for the reason that they have
been compelled to adopt gait which, if not
lazy, is at least leisurely. Hot weather is felt
much more severely, and is much more debil-

SQUASH BUGs.-A correspondent of the
Hartford Courdnt gives some advice which
may be useful here as well as there, about the
treatment of these pests:
'Now that our squash, cucumber, and
melon vines are past the danger from cut
worms, there is another pest which must be
got rid of now if at ALL There is, besides the
small striped black and yellow bug, which
does not seem to be doing much damage this
season, another larger and uglier chap that
is now beginning his summer campaign. He
is about half an inch long, nearly oval, of a
dark, slaty-brown color, almost black He
has wings, but at this season does not use them
much. He is not agreeable as an intimate
acquaintance, and it, you press your friend
ship upon him he ungratefully emits an
abominable odor, which housekeepers (only
few of them, we hope will recognize as sim
liar to that of the bed bug. Naturalists tell
us the two are nearly related, and certainly
any one who has had anything to do with
both would pronounce them at least first
cousins. For this reason you will naturally
incline to let him alone, especially as
he does not at present appear to
eat your vines. You will find him
skulking about among the young plants not so
much on the leaves as under them, and most
often under the two oval seed leaves that lie
close on the soil at the root of the plant
Fhey know well the superior quality of your
Hubbard squashes, and it is there you will
find them by twos and threes during these
June days, apparently doing their best to keep
cool and rest. Their quiet demeanor, how
ever, is very deceptive, for they will soon be-
gin to lay their eggs, and when the housewife
goes out in July to gather her first summer
squashes, she will find the bugs, with their
ash-colored broods, whose name is legion, and
whose odor is most villainous, swarming over
the leaves by the thousand, not now quiet,
but lively and hungry, devouring the vines
with wonderful rapidity, and often destroying
the whole crop. If crocodiles are easiest de-
stroyed in the egg these pests can be killed
easiest before they begin to deposit their eggs.
With two fiat strips of wood-pieces of shin
gle, for instance-you can easily catch and
crush the bugs without befouling your hands.
They are not numerous now, and are so large
as to be easily seen, and besides they move so
slowly, and so rarely take wing that they sell
dom escape. By going through your vines in
this way twice day, for few days now, you
may save the whole crop of your kitchen gar
| den."
