FRIGHrFUL.-The frightful condition of af-
fairs consequent on the absence of School
Committee is illustrated by the following letter
received by the Mayor yesterday:
Mr. MAYoR-Dear Sir-Our coal is lew and
our fire burns but dmly-our brooms and
brushes are but handles and our floors are
dirty-our whitewash has become a solid mass
and our walls are dingy-our ink is muddy and
ourpens are rusty, so that we can hardly
write our own name in fact the fountains of
school life seem almost exhausted.
Please supply two quarts of ink,
And oblige,

S. AND B. ENTERTAINsdENT.-Th members
of the S. and B. Society (P. H. ST. held pri-
vate entertainment at the residence of one of its
members, Wednesday evening and the pro-
gramme as made up, consisted of declarations,
reading music, Sc. Among the most noticea-
BILE features was selection on the piano-forte.
The farce, which was rendered in good style,
was quite amusing, especially the parts of Sorts,
Doolittle and Hon. Frothy Bumcombe, ESQ.
the last piece but one was Bullywinkle, the
beloved, which was carried out in a fine man
ner. The S. and B. paper contained many good
articles, and those present expressed them
selves much satisfied. Remarks were called for
but as it was little late the persons declined.

Color GUaRD-The crowded condition of
City Hall last evening was sufficient proof of
the popularity of the Color Guard. AS the
play progresses the interest deepens, aud the
houses proportionally increase. Each evening
Collins appears more like Dutchman, and
Bibber, Braughton and the rest continue to i'm
prove. The best parts of the play are the tab
leaux, which are pronounced by all to be the
best ever presented in this city. A New
York gentleman present last evening, said that
they were as good as he had ever seen, and
probably he has had as good chance to wit
ness tableaux as any one. The play only lasts
two nights more, and all who wish to see it
should procure tickets at once, as there are but
few good seats remaining.

HORSE STEALING.-Yesterday afternoon a
desuatch was received at the police station,
stating that a team had been stolen from Au-
burn, and asking the police force to arrest a
man named Coombs, supposed to be the hitef
Deputies Williams and Bridges started in pur-
suit and found him in barber shop on York
street in less than an honr from the time the
dispatch was received
james McGlinchy's team was taken from
his store last evening, about eight o'clock, by
drunken man. Word was left at the station
aud Marshal Parker and Deputy Bridges got
ON the track and fodnd the horse on State St.
Mr. McGlinchy's son saw the team and notified
the officers. Portland is bad place for horse
thieves.
A team was also stolen from Gray Corner,
Wednesday night, belonging to w. L. Dickey.
A suitable reward will be paid for the return of
the team. A description of the same will be
found in another column.

Comparative Railroad Charges

Mr.. DEMONSTRATING current discussions
the following facts may be of interest: First,
the average local freight rates of the Maine
Central Railroad for 1872, were 80 cents per
ton per mile.
Second, the average local charges of the rail-
roads of Massachusetts for the same year were
BAL per ton per mile above the Maine Central
figures.
Third, the freight rates of the railroads of
Connecticut for the same year, both local and
through combined, were 4 SO per ton per mile,
or fraction above the Maine Central local
rates. The local charges, if they could be sep
arated from the through, would be found 20 per
cent. above the Maine Central
Fourthly, the average local rates of the rail-
roads of New Hampshire and Vermont, so far
as the accessible figures Indicate are in excess
of those of the Maine Central. No full official
returns are published, SO far as is known to the
writer
In fine, it is safely within bounds to assert
that the average local charges of the Maine
Central are materially lower than those of
nearly the entire railroad system of New Eng
land, and this, be it observed, covers the whole
year and all the business done. JUSTICE.

at the expense Of truth and usefulness. This
characterized his (Gar6eld's) opinion of the
policy which seemed to have been fixed upon
by the majority of the two Houses. They
were proposing now to make a surrender of
reality in the name of appearances, to get
empty shadows and names and lose the solid
substance which names ougpt to represent. In
the course of eleven years he had seen no day
SO frought with consequences, great and far
reaching as this day. Referring to the efforts
at reputation in 1867 aud 80, he said the Am
erlcan conscience had responded to those eff
forts in the election of Gen. Grant to the
Presidency, on the marked and distinct issue
that reputation should have no name or abid-
ing place in the American Republic. That
verdict had been sealed when on the first an
nual message of Gen. Grant, he declared that
no man should have any place of honor or
|. trust or profit who did not repudiate repudia-
| ton and who was not willing to dy his utmost
to preserve the public faith untarnished. That
great victsry had been gained in the name of
honor, in the name of truth and the country
went forward in its career of prosperity. The
next great battle fought was in 1870, when the
demand for more paper money rang through
the halls of Congress as 1t rang through them
to-day. The pending proposition he regarded
| as a proposition to tumble out the ballast,
| spread all the sails and give the ship of ma
tonal credit to the lightning and the gale.
ne believed the proposition was traught with
| immense ard measureless mischief. The gem
tieman from Massachusetts (Butler) had the
other day compared the circulating medium to
| quart pots and yard sticks. He would take
that comparison and would reply to it that
| yard sticks were not reduced but were kept to
standard of antiquity and of law. That was
what he wanted to 20 with the currency. He
desired realities, not shadows, not the gift of
fruits which tempt the eyes, but turn to ashes
on the lips.
He believed the day was not far distant when
the cry would come up from the lowest down
IN the scale of humble laborers, on whom the
dead weight of all the depreciation would fall
with most crushing power, cursing the day
when they were deluded by legerdemain and
! sophistry
Mr.. Kasson argued to convince the men from
the East that there was some good sense and
justice in the demand made by the West and
and South for more banking facilities. The
banks in the West had uniformly more depos-
its than they had circulation. They could not
sustain themselves without circulation, and he
admitted the West did not want banks IT it
