Castine, April s, 1873.
Commerce and Railroad,


Most Of our .coasting vessels have gone
to work. eetting at It some weeks earlier
than last year. The damage to our foreign
and winter going vessels hes been fully up
to the average.
Notwithstanding the early and long con-
tinued cold our harbor has seldom, if ever.
been freer from ice, utterly in contradiction
Of certain writers, who, for an object.
make invidious comparison against our
harbor, which has not been inaccessible
one day for the winter.
We care but little how many railroads
are built, especially have nothing to object
TO the Castine and Ellsworth; but the fact
that our neighbors on both sides. between
whom we are about equidistant, can't let
Bucksport alone we necessarily conclude
that nature has given her the inside, and
an advantage that must be overcome by
some kind of constructive logic. The talk
about ferrying from Castine TO Roekland
when Bucksport is obstructed. only shows
that Progress is not half posted. Why
my dear man the Bay freezes before we do,
and when it is sometimes frozen for a week
or ten days Castine can't get to Rockiand
while at the same time We can put passen-
gers. about one-third Of mile. across the
river to go on their way at once. As
said before We have no objections to Gas.

For a neighborly reason we are not a BIZ
glad that Bangor's Aroostook project has
failed. as We apprehend that. unless she

The article on which the several wards
of Bangor are called to vote on Monday
next is as follows:
viii the legal voters of the city OF
Bangor authorize and instruct the Mayor
and Aldermen of the said city to subscribe
to the stock of the Bangor q Calais Shore
Line Railroad Company, TO the amount OF
$50, 600, under and in accordance with the
provision of the act Incorporating said
railroad company, and issue therefor the
bonds of the City payable in 80 years from
their date with interest semi-annually at q
per cent. per annum: 100000 TO be paid
when the railroad is completed and equip
ped from the margin of the river near the

Eastern Shore Railroad-It's Western
Terminus.

That the Eastern Shore Road should now
fare of Hancock and Washington counties,
and the general interest, demand its con-
struction. But the point of its Western
termination is not so certain. There has
been a clashing of interests. Bangor is
anxious that it come direct to that city, or
if not there, that it go to Bucksport. The
people of that city ignore the idea that its
termination can be South Of Bucksport.
The reason is obvious. If the terminus
is at Bucksport it will still connect with
Bangor and bring no small portion of its
trade to that city. If it go South TO that
point, to Castine. that trade will not 90 to
Bangor.
Hoe toiH the interest Of Ellsteorth be az
.fected by the location Of the Western terminus
Business sometimes changes its basis, and
seeks new centers, by the opening of new
thoroughfares.
The following item has just been pub

There will be conveniences In the connec-

Will be that Ellsworth will be the centrepot
of goods, and the center of trade, for the
surrounding countryside place Of whole
sale as well as retail business for the towns
on the Eastern shore. Connecting direct
ly by steamer every day with Portland and
Boston. Ellsworth will be the center of
business for the population between the
PenObscot and Passsmaquoddy Bay, and
the chief city of Eastern Maine. The one
terminus will make Ellsworth the feeder
and tributary of Bangor-perhaps holding
its own, but little more-which tribute
Bangor earnestly cOvets. The terminus 1t
Castine will make Ellsworth an indepen-
dent city. to some degree q rival of Ban

Nor are we to forget that the direct and
shorter route will bring the summer travel

HALF-PILOTAGE AT HE'LL GATE.-Gov. Dix
sent message 10 the New York Senate last
night, trans uniting communication from the
Governor Of Maine, with . resolution of the
Legislature Of that state, regarding the exac-
ton Of half Of the pilotage from vessels Of a
hundred tons burden and upwards passing
through He'll Gate, when no pilot service Is
rendered. Gov. Dix says:
"Under existing laws, licensed or cossting
vessels entering the harb0r Of New York BY
the way Of Sandy Hook, are not required to
pay pi'otage unless they take pilot. On the
other hand coasting vessels Of hundred tons
eurthen and upwards navigating the channel Of
Hell Gate are required to pay one-half pilotase
when they take no pilot. This requirement Is
+ objected to as unjust. aud oppressive by the
Legislature OF Maine, and there seems to me
no ground for the distinction between vessels
entering New York harbor through different
channels. The exaction Of pilotage on YES.
