Washington Matters.

General Porter's examination occupied near
ly four hours Monday, and was as searching
and critical as the keenest democratic lngehu-
ity could make it. The facts disclosed were
not in any way startling or remarkable, the
most important being that the fresioeh'' 60
far from aiding Colonel Leet TO obtain .iie gen
eral-order business, had dissuaded MIN repeat
edly from having anything to do with the Ne"
York custom house, and for nearly year was
!, entire ignorance of his connection with the
xyarebouse business General Porter gave his
evidence with great care and delberation, and
was evidently thoroughly prepared to answer
all proper questions and disclose all informa-
ton in his possession bearing upon the subject
In the course of his direct examination he dis
sected many of the misstatements and errors,
intentional and otherwise, of the previous wit
nesses in New York, and showed a wide differ
ence between their reports nd the true state of
facts
Senator Sherman will endeavor to get the
Senate to take up the tariff bill lately reported
by thefinance committee either the latter part
of this week or early in the next. Several
amendments will be recommended by the COM
mittee, one of which will reduce the duty on
tea and Coffee but by no means place it on the
free list The members of the finance commit
tee will adhere to their previous system of al
| average reduction of all duties scaling down
| about ten per cent. ON the entire list
| Among the opinions of the Supreme Court
read Monday the only one of Importance was
that declaring that State court cannot dis
charge on hdbeas corpus minor who has en-
listed in the army without his fathers consent
that authority being vested in United States
courts only. Chief-Justice Chase dissented
The court will adjourn from Friday the Sth tt
Monday the 18th, the intervening week being
devoted to consultation and preparation O.
| opinions.
"Perley" says that Gen. Portcr's straightfor
ward testimony Monday, has produced deel
impression here and shows that the admins
ton of Gen. Grant does not fear investigation
into its alleged distribution of official favor
any more than it does..in the sale of useles
arms at good prices for the benefit of the Ma
tional Treasury.

One year ago the argus headed theelection
returns from Saco, Lewiston, Rockland, and
Bath as follows:
"Saco at last breaks the Ring"
democratic Mayor elected"
Lewiston does the honest thing"
''Rockland also elects Democrat"
"Bath makes mistake"
ton having gone against the Democrats the
argus is more modest, and in its issue of
yesterday has the following headings:
"a crumb of comfort"
"Radieal Rockland elects Democratic
Mayor"
Republican Mayors chosen in Bath, Lew
iston, Saco and Auburn

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE CANvAss.-The polt-
ical parties of New Hampshire have always
been able to make the most accurate estimates
of the vote before the election. The Republi-
can canvass now made gives the State to the
Republicans by about 1900 majority; but COM
petent judges admit the preponderance will be
less than this probably owing to the fact that
since the canvass was made there has been a
slight increase in the temperance vote, which
will be drawn exclusively from the Republicans.
There are, it is well known, four general tickets
before the people, being the Republicans, Dem
ocratic, Temperance and Labor Reform; but
the two latter ale scarcely disturbing elements,
as the first of them is credited with only about
one thousand and the other with half that
number.
The estimates put the total vote of the State
on Tuesday week at IA, 900, being an increase Of
about 1000 over last year, which leaves r., 500 t.
be divided between the Democrats and Repub
licans Unless all present signs prove to b.
false the Republicans will get at least $4,000
but probably little over $4,000

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago Tribune
gives us some interesting gossip about people in
Washington. Mrs. Williams, wife of the
United States Attorney General is about the
medium size, not far from forty years of age,
and has light eyes, good figure and very vi
vacious and inviting address. Williams him
self is a man of common sense, and an excel
lent legal mind. He yields decisive pen, and
never puts his foot enormously anywhere
Boutwell, has shrewd, economical, New Eng
land wife, who takes care that the vanities of
this world shall not consume his substance.
The rich men of the cabinet are Delano, whom
some allege worth million, and Fish, whose
family is hereditarily well fixed. Cresswell, in
Guiding his official salary, has probably an in
come of $4,000 year.

The Tribune believes that the Democrats of
New Hampshire by making war on protection.
have thrown away their chances of success in
the coming election. Is it sorry?
The Portland daily press., 1872-03-06

ALREADY few leading Democrats and
now and then Democratic journal gives up
New Hampshire in the election next Tues
day, saying it would be much better for that
party to lose both New Hampshire and Con-
necticut in the pending elections. Should
they do this, they think that the Democracy,
for the sake of success in November would be
willing to be entirely passive. Nevertheless
1t does strike us that this expression of in
difference about these states has just flavor
of "sour grapes about it.

A MODEST REoUEsT.-A bill has been intro
duced into the Virginia Legislature asking Con-
gress to appropriate 100000 acres of public
lands to aid the State in paying her public debt
This may seem at the first blush rather modest
request; but, after all, the public lands might
as well be appropriated in the manner suggested
as to have them gobbled up by railroad specu-
lators and lobby iobbers.

THE statement is made by the London o.

Washington Treaty by Great Britain, no oppo-

of Canadian waters by American fishermen
This would indicate desire on the part of the
English to keep the United States, by liberal
usage-for this right is one long contested-in
humor for the renewal of negotiations on the
same subject Bnt would it not be far more
practical to let the treaty have its legitimate eff
feet, and to abide by the result of negotiations
already had, than which none could ever hope
to be more auspiciously begun or more sincerely
conducted.
