The Reading Railroad never carried so much
coal in two months as 1T did IN june and
July, 1871. The prices in those months must
have been very remunerative, for If they had
not been production would not have been
stimulated as it was. Yet we find, after
careful computation, that the average price

treatises, tracts, and essays on the Dignity of
Human Nature, mostly published in the State
of Massachusetts. We have also read the other
side of this important question as set forth and
maintained in the Voyages of Capt CULVER.
We are free TO confess that it is a matter
upon which we have never been able to make
up q mind. Man is the most ancient Of con-
tradictions, even in this contradictory world.
We think Tom or Dick well enough, and they

points, though not new, are well TAKEN
and ought to worry the eminent legal author
tiles who are to have the final disposition OF
the case. But we take it that there will be
no receding from the position already as
sumed by the Administration. The Attorney
General has given an opinion which, while 1t
gives the law to the Military Commission,
gives the equities to the advocates of civil
trial. The President may review the findings
of the Court, but he is expected to stand by
the Attorney General.

of the Blue Ridge in that State are the high

Mr.. McEnery, who is claimed to have been
the legally elected Governor of Louisiana, pre-
sents once more an alternative to the people
of that State. In letter, which has been
called out by an application for his opinion
on affairs. he tells the people-what everybody
already knows-that the State is financially
bankrupt and temporarily ruined by the ex-
listing political chaos. He favors the calling of
a State Convention for the purpose of securing
aid from Congress; that aid, we must sup
pose, is to overturn the existing fraudulent
Government We do not like to discourage
any efforts to secure better or more popular
Government for Louisiana; but it must be
confessed that the prospect of getting any
help from Congress is not very brilliant.

CORRESPONDENCE

Mr.. Editor | wish TO say few
words in reference to communication in
your last issue, subscribed S. b. Rock.
well, and apparently endorsed by Messrs.
Gregg and Huburd, the former q presid.
ing elder, the latter an ex-prcsiding
elder. It is only from this apparent en-
dorsoment that | address you this note.
Passing by the poetry with which the
article abounds, | notice, first, the plea
for longer time in holding camp.meet.
ings, the minimum being ten days. To
this | would remark that most persons
cannot withdraw their attention from
their business for a longer time THAI
camp.mcetings are wont to be held. In
the next place, the atmosphere, on aud
around the camp ground, becomes so
loaded with impurities in five or six days,
as to render it both unpleasant and un.
healthy longer to remain. As to the
bringing in of sinners, about which the
article urges so much, it is generally sup.
posed that such come in of their own
choice, and not by compulsion from any
source. Iffivc or six days does not SUI
fee for this work, longer time cannot
be expected to do it.
The flow Of words about regard for the
Sabbath cannot do away the fact that
holding camp-mcetng over the day
leads TO its dissertation. The notice of
the "turn cut in the REGISTER was, per-
haps, correct way Of showing up that
dissertation at the last camp.meeting.
And further, is it not better that minis
ters should be at home with their copgre.
cations on the Sabbath than at camp.

In the beginniRg of these remarks |
speak OF Mr.. Rockwel's article as being
apparently endorsed, etc There is good
reason for believing that Mcssrs. Gregg
and Hulburd did not append their names
to the endorsing note, and that neither
Of them wrote it, but that some other one
penned it, and from some authority, con-
structive or otherwise, put their names to
it. w. BULLARp.

says:
1.-The total vote Of the city for Gov
ernor shows falling off of 1881 from
that of last year; in which the Republi-
can absentees number 914, while the
opposition lost but 457. The result is
directly attributable to the activity Of the
Democratic managers. who were more
earnest here than in any other part of the
State, and the entire failure to bring out
anything like the average Republican
vote. The Democrats who started the
Titcomb canvass are located here and
exerted themselves to bring out their
force, as is shown by the heavy vote in
the strongholds Of the 'unterrifed.' Ward
one only lacked six votes of the majority
Of the Presidential year,while Ward Two
increased the Bourbon majority from 16
to AZ. The result is another demonstra.
ton of thei reliability of the Democrat
ic voting elements, and the over. confidence
and apathy of Republicans. AS test of
political strength the vote is entirely de-
void of significance, as upon any issue
exciting public interest the Republican
majority in Bangor would be overwhelm-
ing. There are many Of our citizens who

new life aud new spirit See how the
Roman has placed a plnth TO support the
Doric pillar which the Greek rooted in

the most simple and severe, the Doric, at
the base; then the lightest ard most
elegant, the Ionic, in .he center; and
lastly, the most ford and ornate, the

The spirit of constructive people is visi-
BILE in the whole building. The Roman
has united the three orders in his cree.
tons, as he has united the Greek gods in
the Pantheon, and his style is the great
epiloeue oil antique genius. Rome took
from Greece her metaphysics and her re.

from Spain her swords from the East her
arches, aud from Etruria her bows. Thus
it may be said that Greece is the flower
