DESPITE our former assurances, tits now
said that the location of the encsmpment of
the State militia in the vicinity of Portland
will depend entirely upon the amount of mon
ey contributed by citizens to defray expenses.
If any other section makes higher bid, it
win go to that place. 1t is to be hoped that
our people will sufficiently appreciate this
and every similar opportunity to become &C
quainted with such a class of young men as
the companies represent, to see to it that
these State festivals and meetings are held in
Portland. ~

The results of the abolition of the franking
privilege are constantly discussed in the de-
partments. 1t is not true that the railroads IA

quent deduction of compensation. The express
companies on the other hand, are benefited by
the changes The several departments con-
strue their appropriations for postage, strictly
as money appropriations. They will treat the
appropriation as money appropriation for any
other purpose, and will endeavor to live within
their estimates. 1t is found that express COM
panies will carry heavier packages at one-half

to put President Grant on the track for a
