WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, July 13-An official proclama-
ton has been made of the postal convention be-
tween the United States and Ecuador. The
letter postage from one country to the other is
ments may by agreement provide for the trans
mission of registered letters in the mails and
exchange between the two countries, the regis
ter fee being ten cents.
The Alleged Registry Frauds.
The Treasury Department officially states
that the report of a series of daring and sue
cessful frauds upon the general government
have been practiced in the matter of the regis
try of vessels that commenced about the year
1863, IS gross exaggeration. The total num-
Der OF vessels of foreign build wrecked, repair
ed and admitted to registry does not exceed 120.
Suits for forfeiture have been demanded against
six vessels at New York, out of this number
and IA more only are reported as suspected.
The Cuban "PiOncer.o
The record of the Cuban prvateer ssPioneer"
shows that she took out a register on the Both
of March, in New York, showing Lambert Nor
ton of New York, to be the sole owner and f.
L. Norton to be the master, under the name of
the Resolute. The register, SO far as the Treas
ury Department knows, has never been surren-
dered and her name never properly changed. If
this should prove true, under the act of May
9TH, 1854, the vessel is forfeited to the govern
ment
Mail Contracts.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Among the docu-
ments just printed at the government printing
office is one of 700 hundred pages of abstracts
of Offers for carrying the mails, In many cases
the bids were four or five timas in excess of the
amount which the service accepted.
The Zebra Committee.
The Democratic and Liberal Republican
Committees were again in joint conference yes

The Loan.
Secretary Boutwell, will not at present at
tempt to put any more of the new loan on the
European markets but will await more favor

Washington tomorrow morning for North
Carolina. He has already prepared speeches.

THE TORNADO AT PoRTsMoUTH.-The follow
ing additional facts are given respecting the
terrific thunder storm that passed over Ports
mouth, N. H., late Friday afternoon:
1t now appears pretty evident that Games
carriage factory was set on fire by lightning. A
window in the upper story was dashed in, the
plastering thrown down and a scuttle in the roof
knocked off, but as no person was affected nor
fire seen, this was supposed to he the work of
the wind; but it is now thought that the fire
was then set in the attic, which broke out an
hour two after, and destroyed the immense
structure in SINCE hour. The tornado is re-
garded as the most severe ever known here, but
was very limited in extent.
The hail did great damage to the crops and
trees at the river side in Newington, near this
city, breaking glass at many farm houses; at
the Hill farm, occupied by L. l.. De Roche
mont demoishing nearly one hundred panes.
He estimates his damage at $500. In this city
several persons were struck
Mr.. Benjamin E. Whitcomb, saloon keeper,
was knocked from his chair and paralyzed for a
while, and daughter slightly affected.
Mr.. Apheus Blake of Kittery, a fisherman,
is missing, and as whale boat was seen sunk
down the harbor he was supposed to be drown
ed. His age was fifty, and he leaves a wife and
two children.
No other marine disaster is yet reported. The
telegraph wires were knocked out of order by
the storm Friday afternoon, and the ire dam
aged the wires still more in the evening, so that
all business has been sent by way of Portland
and the Boston & Maine line for the last twen-
ty-four hours. More than two inches of rain fell
during the shower.

HowEs CIRCUS AND MENAGERIE.-The man
ayers of Howe's Circus and Menagerie are en-
titled to the credit of having the best show of
the kind that has ever passed through the State.
We have already spoken of the extent and re-
gal magnifcence of the street display, surpass-
ing anything ever seen in Portland. The per-
formances under the canvas will please the Gull
tivated taste, and parents may take their chill
dren without fear of their being contaminated
by anything they may see or hear in the ring.
Everything is conducted in the most faultess
manner. The acts, too, are short, never weari-
some, and embrace great variety. The bare
back ridisg of Mr. Morgan is both classical and
exciting, and is up to the ideal of the strongest
imagination, while the leaping, posturing and
exercise upon the bars is much better than is
given by the majority of companies. Mr..
Howe has tried to raise the equestrian arena
from the coarse vulgarity thut has accompan-
led it heretofore, and deserves the recognition
and patronage of the best classes of the COM
munity. The collection of animals is good: the
cage of tigers alone being the finest collection
we ever saw, while the intelligence of the ele-
plants is exhibited in a very pleasing manner
We again commend this establishment to the
patronage of the public as one of unusual merit
in every particular.

THE ISSUE IN A NUTsHELL.-If
there is solitary Democrat who yet
falters or hesitates about voting for
Horace Greeley, on account Of his past
record, let us say to such an one, that
that record is not among the issues Of
the present. canvass. The man aud his
former utteranees are buried out Of
sight in the great vital questions Of the
present campaign. On the ono hand,
President Graut represents centraliza-
ton, corruption and seciionalism, while
on the other hand, Greeley is the re
preventative Of honesty and purity Of
government, OF the reconciliation Of the
sections, and of nationality and peace.
If Greeley be elected, constitutional
government as well as local self. govern.
ment will be maintained but if Grant
should prove successful the disaster
would be well nigh irreparable. The
re election Of Grant would be the Gu.
dorsement OF the extravaganza, nepo
tism, corruptions, usurpatious, aud cen
tralization policy of his administration,
Greeley's election to the Office of Pres
ideut would inaugurate purity, fraterni
ty, aud honest government What
Democrat, therefore, eau falter in his
duty, when issues like these depend
upon the suffrage of the American PEG
pie in the ensuing Presidential elec,
tionY AS well might the soldier skulk
in the hoar OF danger when the foot Of
a foreign foe invaded the soil Of his ma.
tive land.
