Hall Our military was well represented, and
many of Portland's fairest women graced the
occasion with their presence. The company
was very large end the hours flew swiftly and
gaily with the fascinating music of the full
Portland quadrille band.
During the evening much attention was
drawn towards the graceful old time dancing of
several of the veterans, prominent among
whom was Adjutant Ellsworth and Mr.. Horace
Waters, the latter being nearly IS years of age
The contra dance of "Money Musk" was pro-
posed in honor of the latter, and he became
the observed of all observers" cutting "the
pigeons wing with the grace ana agility of
one of twenty-five. Mrs Joseph Pratt, OF
Hartford, was Mr.. Waters partner in this
dance.

Per Contra:-The item in your issue of the
18th inst, relative to the rating of insurance in
this city, is incorrect inasmuch as the Com
mittee from the National Board now here, find
that Portland is not only not "among the best
in the country, but that rates of insurance are
generally lower on every class of property here,
than in any city or town in New England, if
moth the country, and must accordingly be
advanced, and are of opinion that unless some
check is given to the construction of the worst
class of wooden buildings in the heart of the
city the best companies will withdraw from do
ing business here.
We derived our information from gentle
man well versed in insurance matters in Port
land and elsewhere. The abundance of water
and appliances for extinguishing fires, together
with the general good character of our build
ings-including wooden structures-make Port
land, so we have been repeatedly informed, a
desirable city for insurance companies

Vice President COIfax on the Credit We

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Sept 25.-Gen. James r.
Hawley, who addressed the Republican meet
ing here to-day, was introduced to the audi
enoe by Vice President Colfax, who presided as
his valued personal and political friend; distin-
guished both in civil and military life. Mr.
Colfax took occasion to speak of the so-called
Credit Mobilier scandal, that his hearers might
see of what worthless stuff campaign charges
arc manufactured-not to put himself on the
defensive, for there had never been an hour in
his public life that he would not have trusted a
jury OF political opponents here to decide any
charge affecting his honesty that the bitterest
malignant could imagine or invent, or to render
verdict whether he could be brbed to cast his
vote for or to support any measure which his
conscientious conviction disapproved There
were three Journals in the United States,
which, above all others, absolutely knew that
bribing him to support the Pacific railroad in-
terest is just as incredible as that he should be
bribed to vote the Republican ticket Mr.. Col
fax related his trip seven years ago over the
route of the proposed Pacific railroad with gen.
tlemen connected with the Chicago Times, New
York Tribune and Springfield Republican, and
read extracts from letters from Mr.. Bowles to
the Republican, strongly urging the project up
on capitalists of the country.
