1t is reported that John Bull is determined not
to pay any damages which the Geneva Confer
ence may award. If that is Johns intention,
what in thunder did he consent to an arbitra-

bargain, and it won't do for him to back out

y The members of the House commerce COM
mittee held general conference this morning
upon the subject of the revival of American
commerce, upon which at least four of the
committee now have bills pending. Messrs.
Lynch, Conger, Sheldon and Townsend each
advocated their individual theories; and Sec
Rotary Boutwell, who was present, will at an
early day offer to the committee his views upon
the same subject. The two important indica-
tions developed were that the committee is dis
posed to make an honest, united effort to per-

speech on his bill torevive the shipbuilding in

will convince every candid reader that if the
Democrats of the national House of Represen-

PROSTATE branch of Maine industry they could
hardly have arrayed themselves against bill
of SO moderate and reasonable provisions. Mr..

FRIDAY MORNING, FEB. 9. 1879.
The Old Ticket.

II ia 70 he regretted that the friends Oh Sen
.tor Wilson are inclined to push his claims
for the y;ce-Presidency. 1t is all the more
aeplorable on account Of the acknowledged
ability, honesty and uniform good conduct OF
the Massachusetts, Senator. To our mind his
judicious and conciliatory support Of the ad-
ministration during the first weeks OF the
present session of Congress was of greater use
to the President and to the country than that
of other Senators who are commonly reputeo
to be the representatives OF the Executive
Senator Wilson is too good man to have ms
peace of mind destroyed by an unavaihng
scramble for place the occupant OF which
has already been selected by the people. The
Republican voters of the country never gave
their consent to the withdrawal of Mr. Colfax'
There was always determination to induce
him to reconsider his decision to retire at the
close of his present term of office, IL IL was
possible to do So Now that he has at length
succumbed to the importunate demands OF
his fellow citizens and abandoned once more
the hope of immediate retirement from the
cares and responsibilities that have become
burdensome to him, the idea of dropping him
for any other gentleman however eminent
aud however worthy is not to be thought of
for moment. The old ticket of Grant and
Colfax is already virtually before the people,
and it will be the business OF the Convention
that assemblies on the 9Th of June merely to
Iatify selection already made. Even men
like Horace Greeley, who are hostile to the
administration, virtually concede that it is to
remain in power five years longer. We be-
leve that man of Senator Wilson's sagacity
will not be long in perceiving the drift of pop
ular opinion and cheerfully asserting to it.
Mr.. HOLDEN of this city, with Lebroke
of Foxcroft and Walker of Newport,
spoke in the House, Wednesday, in favor
of treating seriously the petition of Mrs.
Oliver bennett, President of the Maine
Woman Suffrage Association, and ITO other
ladies, asking for woman suffrage. The face
cetious proposition of Mr.. Wilson of Thorn
aston to refer the petition to the committee

who reported fayorably as follows:

Though dressed in. gown and jacket,

THE SERMON BY REV. CT. i. ALLEN,
of the St. Peters (EpiscopaD church
last Sunday morning, was highly in
teresting and elaborate and, as usual.
listened to by an attentive and appre-
ciative congregation. His text was
from the gospel according to Mark,
chapter Y, verse Il: "What shall l do
that / may inherit eternal life?" The
speaker commenced by saying that
there are times when everybody asks
this question. whether he or she be
%VirtuouS, honest and upright as the
young man in the text, or fallen and
sinful like the fOrlorn woman whom
the scribes and Phari>ees brought be
fore Jesus, saying: Moses hath com
manded that such should be stoned.
This mar was probably admired and
loved by all who knew him and asSo-
ciated with him for his strict morality,
his consciou>nessa and exalted religious
life. He was not 4 skeptic like the
SadduceeS nor a h~vpDcrIte like the
Phari>ees. He hxI eNertei himself
earnestly and faithfully from his youth
to keep the commandments, and
when he heard the words of him
"who spoke A. no man spoke his
soul was suddenly filled with doubt
and despair and his morality seemed
empty and worthless. For morality
alone can not fill the soul: it is a body
