Great Excitement In Portland ON the re.
ceptiOn Of the news OF the Great Fire
in Boston.

Portland, Me-, TO- AS soon as the news
became generally known in this city, this A.
NJ, that the city Of Boston was fast succmb-
ing to the destroying element, a train left for
that city, provided most kindly by Superin-
tendent Chase of the =. S. & p. Railroad,
carrying steamer No. !, and her company,
but on reaching Portsmouth, word was tele-
graphed from Boston that their services were
not needed, and they returned home by 9, A.
NJ. Mayor kingsbury proceeded to the p.
S. & p. Depot, and offered to the Boston City
government any assistance that might be
needed. 1t was deemed inadvisable to send
special train to Boston with engines at 10
| o'clock, although there was large crowd of
people at the railroad station anxious to 60.
ln the offices Of the company large number
| Of prominent gentlemen were collected, In
Guiding Mayor Kngsbury and Mr.. Chase, all
anXiously awaiting what news the company s
operator would give them. Since writing
the account of how the news of the fire was
received here, we learn from the Mayor that
he received dispatch at l2 o'clock last night
from the Mayor Of Boston, asking for an en-
CINE. The dispatch came over the Z. S. &
F. Railroad line, ami was brought to the sta
ton by policeman. The Deputy Marshal
aroused the Mayor and the Mayor ordered
the Chief Engineer to dispatch the Mach-
gonne. Mr.. Chase furnished the train. This
morning at o'clock the Mayor called to-
gether the city government in reference to
sending another engine, when they received
the news of the Machagonne's return as pre-.
viously stated. All over Portland, the excite.
ment is intense. Knots of men are collected
on all the principal streets, and throng around
the Western Union Telegraph Office. Few
business men attended church to-day, and the
congregations sparce. Many Of our leading
merchants have met with heavy losses in the
burnt district. Mr.. Bedlow, Superintendent
of the Western Union Telegraph, went up at
noon on special train with repairers and
Telegraph supplies to help get up the lines.
Mayor kingsbury went through in the same
train to tender assistance.
The light Of the great fire was plainly seen
in this city, and was supposed to be a few
miles distant at sea, until a dispatch from
Boston, calling for aid, caused a general
alarm Of fire here. and steamer and compa-
ny were sent
Laying of Corner Stone.
The corner stone Of the new st. Mary's

hands of the colored citizen, he, OH the
next to the last day of the session, pro-
tested" in writing ON the journal, against
NEGRO suffrage" because the New Con-
stitution left the negro Gin the actual pos
session of a franchise that he has no cdpdc-
ity to exercise or appreciate :" and because
the Constitution had no right to force ne
gro suffrage upon the people OF tennessee"
Mr.. Carter was not only the only dele
gate from East Tennessee who voted in IA
vor of robbing the colored man of the right
to vote, but he was also the only delegate
from East Tennessee who voted that mo
negro, mulatto, or mustee shall be allowed
to sit on juries or hold office in this State"
Mr.. Carter cast several other votes in the
Convention which, we take it, will not in
crease his popularity in East Tennessee.
He voted to remove all the Judges, States
Attorneys, and other officers; he voted
against the people electing their Judges
and States Attorneys; he voted in
favor of taking away from the poo
pie the right to elect their Judges
and States Attorneys, and,aeto give
this right to the Governor and he voted
against giving the people the right to elect
the Clerks of the Chancery Courts. Mr..
Carter associated and voted with the bit
terest white suffrage rebels of Middle and
West Tennessee, and stood aloof from the
East Tennessee delegates. Indeed, stran-
ger would have guessed that Carter repre-
sented the kuklux of Shelby rather than
the people of Carter and Johnson.
Is it not rather singular that the Gree
ley Democrats should have selected as their
candidate from the First District the only
East Tennesseean in the Constitutional
Convention who spoke and voted against
oolored men having the right to vote, the
right to hold office and the right to sit on
juries? The truth is, this man Carter is a
self-righteous aristocrat, who has no SYM
pathy for the black or white, and whose
spirit, instead of going abroad among man.

WE suggest to the Memphis Appeal that,
if its objection to Johnson because he could
have no influence with the next Radical

We hope the Appeal and its friends will
do this. 1t would be better proof of re
Cancellation than voting for Greeley.
