Simonds the sculptor, has brought with him
from Italy photograph from a clay model OF
the proposed statue intended to crown the SOL
dier's monument to be erected in Portland I'M
der the auspices of the Army and Navy Uniou,
and has also executed a drawing in India lux
of both the statue and monument The pho
tograph and drawing are at Mr. ii. b. Browns
studio ON Danforth street.
The monument and figure will attain height
of about thirty feet, of which the figure will
occupy six feet. The design represents a fe-
male, typical of Victory, attred in helmet and
breast plate, Ler brows bound with the laurel
wreath, her shoulders covered with a loose
tunic whose flowing sleeves scarce reach the
elbow. From the middle down the figure is
draped in flowing but clinging robe supported
in position by careless festoonngs about the
waist. The left foot is slightly advanced; the
left arm outstretched holds aloft the National
Standard whose folds are rent in places by the
storm of battle, and the spear head crowned
with laurel wreath, The right arm, pendant,
nervously grasps drawn sword, pointing down
ward. The head of the figure is thrown back,
the eyes sternly fixed upon the wreath that
adorns the standard
On the shaft of the pedestal is tablet en-
graved as follows: 'In Memory of the Brave
Men of Portland, Soldiers of the Army, and
Seamen of the Navy, who died for their Coun-
try in the War Of abe Rebellion, 1S61-lS65.
On the trout Of the base of the shaft is carved
laurel wreath, and on the base of the pedes-
tal-which is square with buttresses-a shield
from which radiate the symbols of the two pro-
fessions-the Army and Navy-composed of
spears, anchors and muskets.

THE ELECTION IN THE CITY.

The election passed off remarkably quiet
yesterday in the city, the whole number of
votes cast being less than half as great as last
year. A little liveliness was shown in the
matter of splits but the result shows that
nearly everybody voted the straight Republi-
can, Democratic or "EYoor'' ticket. An at
tempt was made, with but little success, how
ever, to impose upon the unwary a counterfeit,
purporting to be Republican ticket, but with
two or three names changed. These were dis
tributed by some low fellows, tools of men with
grudges, who, by liberal lying, got few of
them deposited by voters ignorant of their
character There was but little excitement
about the polling places, and the general tone
of the people was good-natured and free from
bitterness. Very little interest was manifested
at any time during the day, as the result was
foregone conclusion, and only those voted who
always vote on principle. No effort was made
on either side to bring out voters, and a large
part of the usual machinery of elections was
unused. The result was of course gratifying
to the Republicans as indicating steady, nat
ura strength available in dull as well as in
active times.
