p. q, & r. ROad,

Mr.. EDIroR,- II have read in your paper of
this morning, the article signed "Citizen," con-
tanning copy of the proposed bill to allow the
P. S. & P. r. r. Co. to extend its present road,
to obtain terminal facilities &C. in Portland
The caution of Citizen is well timed, for some
years since the P. S. & P. Co.built three tracks
across the Portland terminus of Portland bridge
in violation of law, and have used said tracks
ever since obstructing travel and endangering
the lives of all persons crossing said bridge
This bill leaves the citizens of Portland utterly
defenceless against this same p. S. & P. road; /;
therefore it should be so amended as to require
change in location of said road in this city be-
fore said change, or location shall be deemed
valid II

THAT SMUGGLING CAsE-It seems that three
well known business houses in this city were
concerned in the smuggling case we mentioned
recently. Natmegs alcohol and alcoholic
liquors were the articles. These were with the
exception OF the nutmegs, taken out of bond in
Boston, carried about on the sea for time, and
then landed on Long Island, whence they were
brought to this city. The nutmegs were direct
ly smuggled. The smuggling has been carried
on for some time. The authorities have been
quietly hunting the matter up, and the arrest
and conviction of parties for smuggling last fall
supplied the missing link in the evidence The
authorities, not unnaturally, are very reticent;
but, so far as we learn this is the true state
of affairs. Suits have been commenced and
bonds given in the sum of $4,000 a

SAD CASE OF IDIocY-When man in these
latter days hasl something particularly absurd
to say, he puts it in the form of commune
cation to the Argus and styles himself a
"Jeffersonian Democrat" Thus that much
abused term has gradually become synonym
| for idiot. Yesterdays Argus contains COM
muncaton in which our statement in regard
to "wake' Wednesday night is denied. The
Argus editorially says "John Corydon, who was
at the place where they were preparing to have
''wake" Wednesday was, with his wife, dis
| charged from the Grand Trunk yesterday"
| We prefer to accept the statement of the City
| Editor of that paper, whom we know, rather
| than that of the unknown and nameless DEM
| agogue who is so clumsly seeking to make
| politico-religious capital out of our admoniton
i'll regard to the sanitary condition of the
city.
The Argus correspondent indulges in a bit OF
bladdery batbos about "sweet Liberty 1t
isn't the sweet air of liberty to which we OBJ
iect but the noxious and by no means pleasant
smelling atmosphere of small pox. By impl-
cation he accuses us of hanging Quakers, whip

Indians or witches shamelessly disregard san
itary precautions, we shall call upon their
priests to exert their utmost influence in an
opposite direction to save them.

RESOLUTION OF RESPECT TO THE MEMO RY
OF THE LATE RENSSELAER, CRAM-At meet
ing of the Directors Of the Portland Company
held on the 22d inst, the following resolution
was passed:
This being the first meeting of the Board
since the death of our late associate, Rensselaer,
Crain, we deslre TO place upon record a tribnte
of respect to his memory.
Regarding this Company as an enterprise of
Importance to the prosperity of Portland, he
was at all times ready tn give his time and at
tention to its affairs, fulfilling aud exceeding
the duties of Director.
His active services have been freely rendered,
and, with his wise counsel, and the pledge Of
his ample credit have contributed greatly to the
measure Of success that has been attained.
And while in common with all who knew
him in tho variad ucaf,I1paSS Of l.
honor his memory and mourn his loss, we also
feel that it is fitting, as his associates in this
Board, to give expression to our sense of the
value of his services upon it, and the grateful
recollection of them that should be cherished
by all who are interested inlthe maintenance of
these works.

many persons are there, in any. given
number, who ask themselves this Iues-
ton, or who, hearing it. do not suffer it
other?'' Or if, peradventure, it linger a
moment in their thoughts, how many
dismiss it with the happy reflection that
everything can be safely left to the
good sense and virtue of the American
people? And how many realize, or are
capable of realizing, that the meaning OF
this is that things can safely be left to the

suffers, the forgers, Perjurers, and bride,
sense and virtue of the people" manifest

that he conside red b llot-bOx stuffing as
an entirely proper thing for federal
