WASHINGTON, June 25.-There is nothing de-
finite about the U. S. Chief Commissionership
at Vienna. Mr.. Shultz, after the suspension
OF Gen. Van Buren,, took charge of the bust
ness only till another arrangement could be
made, and he is DESTROYS of being relieved by
the first of July. His executive ability has
proved SO satisfactory that our government has
requested him to remain in the interest of the
American exhibitors till the close of the expo
sition, but in the tevent of his declination to
consider the notice of his retiring. Mr.. Gar
rettson, as heretofore intimated, will be his
successor, that gentleman having been strongly
endorsed for the position. 2

warm fire, which killed six hundred and

PORTLAND commemorative Pt

PORTLAND CoMMANDERY-The Portland
Commandery Knights Templar, got back from
their S. John excursion at $50 yesterday after
noon. They were met at the station by the
stay -at-home knights clad in regala and mount
ed on black horses, under command of Sir
Knight j. 7. Hodsdon. The line of march was
taken up State street, down Congress, Free and
Middle to Masonic Hall on Exchange street.
At the hall cheers were given for the Grand
Commandery, which were responded to by E.
G. G. Ballou and E. G. Gordon. Regalias were
then taken off and social meeting INDUCED
in. Webster furnished quantities of his deli
cious fruit lemonade, which was very grateful
to the parched Threats of the Sir Knights. At
ter indulging in this single refreshmeEt they
dispersed. All declare the excursion to have
been one of unalloyed enjoyment, and loud are
the praises of the hospitality received.

MONTGOMERY GUARDs.-The first grand ex-
curson of the Montgomery Guards yesterday,
to Old Orchard Beach, was great success and
a most happy omen for all future affairs of the
kind. This young and fourishing organization
has shown that it is master of the situation,
and can "excurt'' as well as it can drill, which
is hige praise for it.
The company made fine appearance as it
marched to the depot, headed by the Union
Brass Band, of Cape Elizabeth. Eight car
loads went out At Old Orchard large dele
cation from Saco and Biddeford were found
ready to join in the festivities. A dress parade
was had on the beach, which called forth many
compliments from those present. Raymond
furnished the music for dancing, and the
occasion was very enjoyable one. After the
return to this city, the guards marched through
the streets to their armory, where they dispers-
ed. Their marching was noticeably good, and
called many favorable comments.

THH CAMMETT BENEFIT.-The concert in
aid of the family of the late George III. Cam
NETT, at City Hall last evening, was grand
success, and reflected great honor upon the po-
lice department of Portland. An errooeous
idea prevails that policeman becomes callous
to kindly feeling because of the scenes of snf-
fering which he daily witnesses. Such an i'm
preston ought to be wholly dissipated by the
consideration of the energy with which the
department rallied to the assistance of the
family of their dead comrade.
Space lacks us to mention the many excel
lences of the several performers. Suffice it to
say that every selection was encored, and that
the audience were prodigal of applause. Mrs.
Marchington apparently carried off the honors
of the evening, though where all did so well, it
is difficult to award praise to any particular
one. Her echo song called forth long and loud
applause.
A fine audience was present, and the occa-
sion was very pleasing one. The receipts
were abont $500, which will be of great assist
ance to the widow and fatherless. For this
sum she is indebted to the untiring efforts of
the police of Portland

him from any improper motives, If
sustained. But unfortunately for
himself he has left on record very
different statement in his letter to
LIE Grand Lockwood. After citing
the offer made him by the elder
Lockwood, in a letter which he re-
turned to the younger Lockwood,
he says:
"Upon the authority and in con-
sideration of what is said in it, I
went to work, had interviews with
Mr.. Boutwell,, with John Sherman,
Chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee, with General Garfield
and other prominent financial mem
bers of Congress, and the result was
that it became the policy of the ad-
ministration to repeal not only the
tax in question, but the stamp and
other obnoxious taxes. 1 think this
result was brought about by discus
sions raised and influences used by
me-"
Here he takes credit for procuring
the legislation, and desiring to have
his services recognized, so as to Sc
cure the fee, says:
"The taxes are not repealed, but
they are certainly to be so within
the next sixty days. If your father
was living there would be no neces-
ity of asking about it, but as this
agreement was made through him, l
fear there may rise a misunderstood
ing, and therefore ask you to inquire
into it and ascertain whether the
committee of the Stock Exchange
recognize the contract; if they do it is
all right, and l will still continue
my labo-s."
His statement and his letter do
not agree. In his letter he asserts
using his influence with Boutwell,,
Sherman, Garfield and others, while
his statement denies any such pro-
ceeding, or in fact any proceeding at
all except to call the attention of
other attorneys to the points, etc.
Here again a difficulty meets him.
Hon. R. C. Parsons has authorized
the Leader to deny that he ever was
retained in the case-never was writ
ten or spoken to about it by Judge
Sherman,-never spoke to any Con-
gresham on the subject, or ever
had any knowledge of or connection
with the matter.
Certainly the case seems against
the Judge, and by the documents he
has himself furnished. The only
thing which can be said in his favor
is that there was no element of fraud
against the government in the trans
action, but that the amendment re-
moved an unfair discrimination
against banks and brokers, which
was so evident, when brought to the
attention of Congress, that both
Houses agreed to it unanimously.
The wrong was in acting as an at
torney while a federal judge, and
lending color to the impression too
prevalent already, that money is re-
quired to procure even needful legis-
lation. We fear Judge Sherman
must take his place with the trans
gressors. .-a,
