Ward Three.

Ono s;on;no himself in the Argus GA Repub-
lcan who has voted more tnan once ID Inc Guy
of Portland" objects to the nomination OF Col.
smith of the PRESS as alderman in ward three,
Srst on the ground that he belongs, to s'the
r;no and second, because he is a new man, a
a,o,,1is homo in the city. Now all this is very
silly and in worse taste. We are assured on
EXCELLENT authority that there was positively no
ring business about Col Smiths nomination
and that he knew nothing of the matter till his
nomination took place. Indeed it has been in
timated that his nomination was opposed by
''the ring OF that we know nothing and care
less. 1t is Sufficient that Col Smith is gen
tleman of high character possessing ability and
square toed honesty. He has lived in the city
over two years and was born and raised in the
State of Maine. If this does not make him a
voter among us-certainly he will not deny
that he has arrived at mans estate-what Is
necessary in his case? Col. Smith himself is
"a Republican who has voted more than once
in the city of Portland" bnt is not such an ass
that he must cry out against the natural adj
vancement OF any one coming later than be to
dwell among us. Personally and municipality
we hold Col. Smith in high esteem; politically
we don't care continental for him or any 9TH
er ola line Republican. Sunday Star.
"A correspondent in this mornings Argts, who
claims to be Republican, has foolish fling
at Col. Smith Of the PRESS, who was nominate
ed as a candidate for Alderman from Ward
three last evening, intimatipg that he mad
been in the city hardly long enough to be. a
voter, and that his nomination was secured by
unworthy means. Col. Smith has in fact been
resident of the city for two years; and further
he did rot seek the nomination., and knew
nothing of the movement until he received the
nomination. II is a little strange that the same
men that are now charging him with no resi-
dence here had asked him to become q cand-
date for the Council. We do not imagine, how
ever, that the assault of the Argus correspond
ent will prevent the Coloners election OF even
effect his vote in the least.-Aduertiser. rs

POLICE ITEMS. Annie D. Seaver, land a gay
deceiuer she isD, the girl who escaped from the
station house by the heroic sacrifice of her bns-
tie, was arrested by Deputy Williams Saturday
att house on Bradford street, where she had
hired ont to service The fair Annie was up
to the elbows in flour when Mr.. Williams
made his appearance, and her face turned as
white as the dough she was kneeding. She
was taken to Boston on the Pullman train.
There was an ARRAY on Centre street Satur-
DAY night between three women, in which one
OF them, named Gillispie, was struck over the
head with poker. The result was the sever
ing of an artery, from which the blood poured
profusely. DIR. Foster was called, who dressed
the wonnd. The other women were arrested
A lively "scrimmage" occurred on Franklin
street yesterday afternoon, in which eyes were
oiackened and the architectural amusement of
freely. Al e"i'e
o'ncer YORK arrested Honora Ispeban for
tearing round generally on Spring street last
evening. Honora has way of strinn;ro -,
self to the skin and then going ont n,.,,;s
calls, which is very embarrassing to modost
people.
Officer Slower has found 81 stores unlocked
during the municipal year just passed. Their
owners furnished strong temptation to sneak
thieves, and ought not to have been surprised
if they had embraced the opportunity.

The High Street Question.

Several articles have appeared in the PRESS
recently in relation to disseminating High
street, in which the writer's take the ground
that High street can be discontinued as prayed
for by the B. & NJ. Railroad, without inconven
fence or damage to the city. M. ST." in the
PRESS of the Gath ult. makes this assertion af-
ter examining the slay of the land as he says
and proposes the widening of Maple street
through to Pleasant, giving us that as an equiv
alent for the destruction Of the lower end of
High street, now one of the most travelled ave-
nues from Commercial street. - - ~.
Another writer, s'* -, . in the PRESS of the 26th
ult, says that this important and easy graded
street might be discontinued, provided a new
street be laid out from Danforth to Spring
streets at the expense of the B. g. M. Railroad
also widen and straighten Maple
Now what reasons have these writers given
Tor disseminating one Of the most important
avenues from the front to the center of the
city? Not ore. The whole tenor of their ar
tleles is only to show how travel to and from
the proposed station may be aided; for in their
articles they hardly speak of any other Any
one VINO will look at the map can see at a
glance that there is no difficulty in the way of
travel in that locality with tho streets as they
now are, and can also see that these proposed
changes do not give us an equivalent for the
discontinuance Of High street 1t is Just here
that serious damage and Inconvenience comes
to persons and property situated between
Smiths Wharf and the P. S. & p. depot, and
also to the large travel to and from the Cape
There is very large amount Of heavy teaming
from the coal and lumber yards that goes Hp
this street as the easiest and cheapest route
DESTROY this avenue an from Maple to Dan
forth on the water front there is no street by
which loaded teams may reach that section of
the city south Of High street. Again, we con-
tend that this measure is not called for by the
general public interest. but by the B. & NJ.
Railroad for its own private interests, and here
let US say, in these days of railroad legislation,
it is the plain duty of the people to look as
close as possible after their own rights and
privileges. They need have no fear that cor
porations will neglect theirs, OF that they lack
for ways and means to carry through any
scheme they may undertake Let our city
fathers look to it that they are not overreached
in this matter of disseminating High street.

Mr. Celfax and the stamp Co attract.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The Postmaster
General denies the telegraphed report that the
MES OF the Department show that Colfax was
the attorney or lobbyist Of Nesbitt. He says
that finding the Nesbitt contract for stamped
envelopes had been extended by his predecessor
without advertising for competition, he refer
red the question of its legality to the Attorney
General, who decided that it was without the
sanction OF law and that the Departm ant should
terminate the same Oh reasonable notice and is
sue proposals for a new contract, which was
done. Meanwhile the question arose as to
temporary supply until the aupply of the new
contract Should commence, and it was the tenn
-porary supply that Mr.. Colfax urged that the
heirs of Nesbitt, who died IN 1869, having the
necessary building, machinery and materials
and not having forfeited the contract by any
malfeasance, should have an opportunity to
work up until a new contract was let or that
they be allowed to present any argument as to
the validity of their contract as extended
These views as to a temporary supply seemed
so just and reasonable that they were adopted
by the Department. t~a
