The Legislature has no authority under the
Constitution to pass laws enabling towns by
gifts Of money or loans of bonds, to assist indi-
UidatdlS or corporations to establish or carry on
manufacturing of various kinds, within or
without the limits of said towns.-Opinions of
Judges of the s. j. Court IN 1871.
If the Legislature is prohibited by the Consti-
tuition from aiding manufacturing corporations,
by special enactments, why should not the
same prohibition extend to railroad corpora
tons? Town and cities have legitimate and
corporate duties to perform, and ought to be
restricted in their powers The Legislature
ought not to encourage a departure from the
old established landmarks, enabling irrespon-
sible voters to involve our towns and cities
hopelessly in debt. ...........-.
We trust the arguments adduced in the two
leading newspapers of Portland, the PRESS and
Argus, will satisfy the public that it will not be
good policy to involve our city in debt by in
creasing our taxes for the benefit of railroad
corporations, when no public necessity demands
the sacrifice. Doubtless many of our -four
dealers, dependent on railroad facilities, would
be benefited by the experiment proposed, but
would not the great mass of the community
suffer in the end? The question is one of ex-
IRENE delicacy, and demands of our citizens the
closest scrutiny. eve must not pay too dear
for the (railroad) whistle FRANKLIN.

Grant and COlfax.

If the Republican Legislative caucus at Au-
gusta tonight neglects to pass resolutions en-
dorsing the National Administration by de-
claring emphatically for the denomination of
GRANT AND CoLFAx, it will fail to give ex-
preston to the decided preferences of more
than nineteenth of the rank and file of the
party that elected them. A few political Mi
cawbers, just now waiting anxiously for some
thing to turn up, will plausibly advocate
different course; but no political sophistry
should divert the representative of the Re
publicans of Maine from course so plain and
from policy that will secure the unity and
success of the organization. To do other
wise, to hearken to the counsel of doubtful
friends, will strengthen the hands both of
those who would overthrow the party and
those who hope to succeed by the same wick
ed devices that failed to overthrow Abraham
Lincoln. To-day every Democratic paper
turns its guns upon President Grant for the
same reason that they concentrated their as
saults upon Mr.. Lincoln in 1S64-because he.
as was the case with Mr.. Lincoln, is surest to
succeed. As the Republicans of Maine were
among the first to declare for Gen. Grant in
1858, let them in 1872 be foremost to endorse
an administration that has so faithfully re-
deemed its pledges to the country by declar-
ing, with no uncertain sound, for GRANT

OFFICE OF PORTLAND Cos WORKS,
PORTLAND, Feb. Is, 1872.
Gen. S. j. anderson, Pres. P. &. o. r. r.
The Portland Company now employ nearly
four hundred hands, With our new contracts
the number will be increased. Our operatives
are mainly able bodied men. Most of them
have families. Undoubtedly twelve to fifteen
hundred persons, employers and employed and
their dependents, derive support directly from
our business. Our monthly pay roll averages
&c., 900. This money is expended in Portland.
1t goes into the hands of grocers, dry goods and
clothing dealers, shoe dealers, owners of houses,
etc, ETC., so that the whole community derive
benefit from it. --.-.
Our business is largely dependent upon rail-
roads, as is true, indeed, directly or indirectly
of every other business of consequence in the
city. More railroads will enable us to do more,
money, and thus in our proportion to give
large stimulus and support to the other inter
ests of the town.
So far as regards the operations of this COM
pany it matters not so much whether one rail-
road or another is advanced. But looking at
the interests of the whole municipality and of
every class in it, we hold what we have always
held, that the Portland & Ogdensburg railroad
when completed, will do far more for Portland
than any other new road can. 1t viii give us
new territory, new trade new lines of custom
ers, and shorter route to the West. We are,
therefore, emphatically in favor of pushing
this road through. 1t will cost something but
in our opinion it will pay. N5

Guard Your Health and Life.

How inconsistent is human nature. Men carry re-
volvers to protect themselves against ruans in we'll
polished cities, where the precauton is unnecessary
often neglect to fortfy their systems against disease
in the most unhealthy seasons. Thousands of dys-
peptics and other invalids are now languishing in
sick rooms, or feebly and lisessly moving through
our Streets who their orlorn condition solely to
waut of common prudence. Far more inimical
than the roughs and rowdes, against whose possible
attacks the timd arm themselves, are the morbid
elements that pervade the atmosphere at this time Of
the year, and yet although 1t is an undenied and
deniabe fact that Hostetters Stomach Bitters afford
more perfect protection against these causes Of dis
ease than any weapon Of offence can afford against
awless violence, the reckless and nconsiderate
tinue to brave the danger with positive safeguard
within their reach. ~+ -'-e' 1"tic

to their want of forecast diminishes Each sue

causes of disease and specific for its consequences

and other physical disturbances, produces effect

We have been requested to give our opinion
in regard to the propriety of further aid to the
2. & O. r. R., and if the completion of the
road would be of advantage to us. In reply,
we are in favor of the city rendering the desir-
ed aid. The supply of clothes-poles in our
town is becoming very scarce and the Grand
Trunk Railroad is not in suitable condition to
bring forward such quantities as we want, and
near the head of the Saco river there is i'm
mense quantities, which, when the road is COM
pleted could be brought SO they could be af-
forded at a much less price; also in the spring
there is large quantity of founders caught in
our immediate vicinity which would find
ready market in New Hampshire and Vermont

THE motive for any policy which an officer
or party may adopt can be judged only by the
result. If the policy is adopted for the sake of
Temporary success, it will fall through the in.
sincerity if for the sake of reform that fact will
be clearly shown by the perseverance with
which it is pressed. The Tribune, however,
does not have the patience or the magnanimity
to treat the Presidents promises with
proper consideration. In announcing that he
has ordered Secretary Boutwell, and Collector
Arthur to abolish the General Order monopoly
in this city, it asserts, in savage spirit, that
this ''heroic kind of treatment is made neces-
sary in order to affect the elections in New
Hampshire and Connecticut The Tribune
has no sufficient warrant for saying this. There
is every reason for believing that the President
has at last been aroused by the expression Of
the Senate Committed, and that he is actually
determined to reform the abuses complained OF.
1t he is sincere, the reform will not stop with
the abolition of the General Order MONOPOLY or
with any elections. We believe it will be a
general reform, and that although the Republic
cans are hard pressed in New Hampshire and
Connecticut, the President proposes reform
without reference to those elections.-[N. Y.

WASHINGTON MATTERs.-The conspirators
against the reelection of General Grant having
failed signally in their attempts to implicate
him with the abuses of long standing in the
New York Custom House, are now hoping to
prove that the President or his personal friends
profited by the sales of arms which ultimately
became the property of the French Govern
