Our Maine Congressman are taking such a
course with reference to the back pay which
they did not vote themselves, as is highly
honorable to the State. The Wing learns
that Messrs. Frye and Hale long ago notified
the Office of the Sergeant-at arms that they
declined theit back pay. Senator Hamlin
has declined taking his back pay and will
turn it into the Treasury. Speaker Blaine in
Sisted upon an amendment to the bill that
struds out the back pay for his Office. Mr..
Peters had already sent draft for the
amount due him on this account to the Secre-
tary of the Tnasury, but at date that was
INTENDED to preTnt its publication in Maine
until after the theIf2ending judicial appoint
nent was settled. Thee can be no doubt but
what Messrs. Morrill, and1znch will unite with
their colleagues in this actio, so creditable to
themselves and gratifying 10 the people of

THE secret order called "The Patrons of
Husbandry'' embraces membership OF $780,
600 and has extended over the great grain
raising States Of the Vest. Membership
embraces both males and females over eigh.
teen years Of age. Its objects are ''for mutual
instruction and protection, to tighten labor by
diffusing a knowledge of its aims and pur-
poses,' etc. Its rapid growth of late is due
to the opposition to railroad monopoly which
is just now so grievously felt in the country at
large, but which is almost uncomfortable in the
West. The rapid spread of this organization
is attracting much attention in political cir
Giles, though nothing of partisan tendency
has been discovered in its workings thus far.
One thing is settled it will resist the crush
ing monopoly that holds ten or twelve mil
lions of bushels of grain piled up in Chicago
and other western cities when it is wanted by
millions who now pay too high for bread.

The Halifax papers are quite alarmed at
the unwecome indications that the exodus
from Nova Scotia to the United States the
coming season promises to be very much
greater than ever before. Few people have
TN Idea of the extent of the depopulation of
Nova Scotia by emigration to the States.
The number of emigrants from Nova Scotia
for the quarter ending September 3oth 1872
was 693 males and S31 females or 1924 in all.
As the population of Nova Scotia is not over
three hundred and fifty thousand, such an
extensive decrease of population as the above
figures Indicate, is a fact that is calculated to
tlarn its government and set it at once to
devisins some means to stop this great loss of
Us vital power. That q country so favosably
situated as Nova Scotia, with an excellent
climate, generally fertile soil, varied and rich
mineral deposits, and in the vicinity of the
best fisheries in the world, should show such
certain signs of decay, indicates radical
mistake in It's political economy. 1t was
claimed that the confederation of the prov
inces into the Dominion would bring new
sigor and enhance the prosperity of the mari
time provinces, but there has been no indica-
ton of the verification of the prediction.
Doubtless the restoration of the treaty of Re-
tiprocity would do more for the welfare of
the British provinces than all kinds of con-
federation and all attempts to force their
commerce into unnatural channels. There
can be no question but that an unrestricted
trade between the provinces and the United
States is absolutely essential to the prosperity
If the former and the surest road to this is to
become part ofthe latter as States.
We are aware that the suggestion is not
pleasant one to many of our nsighbors but
the objection is more in tradition than in
present reality. All Of their material inter
ests demand it. In their institutions they
are closely following the example Of New
England. 1t is only a question of change
Of national ensigns which will come sooner
or later. Now wisdom dictates it as policy.
Soon necessity will present it as the only al
Tentative. Nova Scotia is losing its bone and
muscle because her relation to the CONNER
rial world letters all her resources. If Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick would unlock
their wealth, they must put themselves in
harmony with those natural laws which de-
signed them to be a part ofthe leading nation
on this continent.

Letter from Augusta.
RUMoRED CHANGE IN THE MAINE CENTRAL
RAILROAD.

AUGUSTA, April %, 1873
To the Editor of the Press:
There is now considerable talk on the street
of great change to be made in the Maine Gen.
trail on account of the loss of the bridge at Ken
dalps Mills. The change proposed is as fol-
lows, viz: To discontinue the road from Angus
ia to Waterville along the banks of the Kenne-
bee, building in its place road from Augusta
to tap the Maine Central at Belgrade, thereby
saving ten miles of track and the expense of
keeping it in running order; to remove the iron
bridge from Augusta TO Waterville, thereby
saving the expense of building bridges at Wa
terville, Kendall Mills and Winslow, and keep
ing them in repair.
The cost of taking down the bridge at Au-
gusta and putting it, up at Watervilie will be
less than the cost Of building new one at the
latter place. and as it will serve the purpose of
bridge at KendalPs Mills and do away with a
bridge at Winslow, saving of seventy-ive or
one hundred thousand dollars will be made in
the item of bridges Besides this great saw
ing will be made by dscontinuing the track on
the river, having been thus far by means of ac-
cAdents and frequent wash-outs. if not the most,
at least, very expensive section of the road,
and building in it's stead q road to Belgrade, a
distance of only nine miles, through a level
section.
The question will be raised in regard to the
loss of business coming to depots in Vassalbo-
TO- That, however, will probably rot weigh
down the saving to be made by the change
which is quite generally talked of; and indeed
the people in Vassalboro will not suffer from
the want of a railroad as at first might be sup
posed. Seven or eight months of the year the
river is accessible to steamboat travel as far as
Watervlle, and sometimes longer. Augusta
and Waterville would be the depots during the
winter months, which would, of course, be of
some Inconvenience to the towns now making
Vassalboro depot. That Inconvenience, how
ever, would be felt only till the Wiscasset and
Moosehead Railroad had tapped the eastern
part of the town, which, probably, would be
very soon, if the river road were discontinued.

A SUPPOSED SUIcDE.-The wife of Mr.. Chas
Cushman, residing at Cambridge, is missing
under mysterious circumstances. The lady was
last seen by her family about 10 o'clock, on
Friday last, but their fears were not aroused
until Saturday morning, when it was discover
ed that she was missing. Mrs. Cushman has
been several times, the subject of attacks Of
low spirits, and search was accordingly made
at once, lest she might in this condition have
destroyed herself. Word was brought after a
while that Mrs. Cushman's hat had been found
on the bank Of Charles River, wet through, and
this caused the search to be directed particular
ly in that direction. Grappling-irons, men and
boats were procured with some difficulty, but
| finally the work of dragging the river bottom
| commenced. This continued all day Sunday,
but up to a late hour Sunday night, no trace Of
| the missing woman was discovered.
| Mrs. Cushman was "a years of age, and the
| daughter of John Owen, Esq, prominent and
respected citizen, 1t is of course, yet possible
| that the lady has merely wandered away, and
is still alive, but the mystery and fears that
this is not the case, causes the deesest feeling
of grief in her family.-Boston Journal.
Up to IL o'clock Monday no traces of the
missing lady had been discovered. Mr. Cush-
man is said to be very i'll from dysentery.

Our letter from Augusta gives a rumor of
notable change in the line of the Maine
Central Railroad between Augusta and Ken
dalPs Mills, obviating the necessity of two Of
the three bridges across the Kennebec. There
is also scheme to build road on the east
side of the river from Winslow to Kendal's
Mills which would obviate the necessity of a
bridge at the latter point. At all events the
burning of the Kendall's Mills bridge seems
certain to result in the adjustment of the
absurd, costly and dangerous system which
requires three crossings of broad riverwith-
