The City of Portland and the P. q o.
Railroad.

A paragraph is going the rounds of
the papers that the city of Portland
has voted against b"mding itself to the
amount of two and a-half millions of
dollars to complete the =. \ q. railroad
to the Connecticut river. This story is
evidently an invention of the ndvcrS;I-
nv. The facts are. AZ We learn. that the
CITY has not been asked to bond itself
as above. and So of course has not voted
against it. The directors of tn" L. q
o. Railroad have. however. secured AN
act from the legislature of Maine 10y
which they can exchange tw" and
o-holf millions of railroad bonds for the
same amount of city bonds. provided
the city so vote But action has not
vet been taken III the matter. and prob
ably will not he for some months.
When the city votes on this question
our readers will hc Informed. which
ever way it may he decided. Mean
while we learn that the managers OF
Portland Division of the road are soon
to put an engineering force to thorough
" survey the entire route through New
Hampshire to the Connecticut river.

The Alabama Question.

Secretary Fish has sent forward his
reply to the request of the English Gov
crnmcnt. that our Government with
draw from the Geneva arbitration the
claim of the United States for conse-
Gucntial damages. The answer is in a
friendly spirit, but positive declination
of compliance with the request. The
tone of the English press upon this sub
.icct is somewhat moderated, though it
still calls upon us to waive this claim.
All England has to do with this matter
j. to let the arhitrators take such action
as to them shall seem Just. and the duty
of each party i'll interest is to acqulesce.

TIE ILLINOIS TEMPERANCE LAW
The recently enacted law of the state OF
Illinois, making the sellers of intoXicat-
ing liquors liable for all damage result
ing from the traffic. and creating Il lien
for all penalties upon the real estate
upon which the liquor is sold. without
regard to ownership. caused some ex-
citement in the large centres of business
The fermentation has been Il wholesome
one for it has resulted in an out spoken
public opinion i'll favor of the law. In
the city of Chicago, an attempt was
made by dealers in liquors to stir up Il
powerful opposition to the law. The
Tribune of that city. SAYS the effort
proved a failure. And the same paper
also declares that such has been the re-
suit in other large places in the state
The same law has been in force in Ohio
for three years, and the recoveries for
damage in its administration have been
large as well us numerous. Efforts in
behalf of its repeal have all proved
abOrtive, and have ceased. The Illinois
law goes into effect the 18th day ofne
April. The Chicago Tribune remarks
that lit is probable that large number
of the present licensed establishments
will close Oh the 18th day of April. the
proprietors engaging in some other work
less perilous, and more conducive to
the prosperity of the community

8 The angry debate in the L. =.

should vote for ii republican for next
president. hut intimatcd that it would
not he Gen. Grant. Mr.. Sumner stands
III Il similar position. SchIrz objects to
ten. Grant on account of his course ON
the San Domingo annexation question.
Mr. Sumner also opposes that scheme
The debate revealed the probable fact
that sumner. Trumbull. Schurz and
Upton are hostile to Gen. Grants re-
nomination. Several of these men
seem To have the presidency on the
brain somebody or some newspaper
having pronounced their names in con-
nectiom with the office
As the unfortunate debate has come
to Il close we hope the members of the
/. >. senate may he able to keep their
heads level for a fortnight or so. and
give some suitable attention to the
business before them
The committee selected to investi-
gate the sale of arms consists of Ham,
lin. Carpenter, Sherman. Sawyer, Logan.
Stephenson and Harlan. 1t was pro-
posed to put Mr.. Sumner upon this
committee. He declined on account of
ill-health.

- \ writer in the Vermont Watch
man, is discussing the comparative cost
of the broad and narrow guage for the
construction of railroads. He makes out
the difference from one fourth to nearly
one half in favor of the narrow guage.
He gives the cost of the Montpelier q
Wells River railroad at S26,5O per
mile. In conclusion the writer gives it
as his opinion that line of road-with
il three feet guage-can be constructed
from Montpelier to Newport for SlI 900
per mile. If this calculation is a correct
one, it is unfortunate for the country
that the narrow guage system had not
been discovered at an earlier day. The
average cost of our railroads already in
existence is not far from S26,O0O per
mile. With so many roads now running
upon the broad guage system, and as
new roads must necessarily connect with
them, the introduction at this time, of
the narrow track, would be attended
with serious embarrassment except in
isolated lines and localities.
