Current Notes.

THE Bangor Commercial sees cannon and
muskets at Bowdoin and in consequence; is
unduly excited. Keep cool, thirteen years
have elapsed since 1861 when muskets had
so much of terror in them.
The Haverhill Banner says that whether
General Butler declines a denomination OF
not, Albert Currier, of Newburyport, will
probably be the peoples candidate for Con
gress in his district.
The Mobile Register says Congressman
Hayes project to supply lations for the in
habitants of the overlooked districts of Ala
bama has completely demoralized the negroes
who have abandoned all work and journeyed,
some of them as far as fifteen miles, to get
the rations ''Guberment" had ordered for
them, but which they did not find. The
Register is convinced that, if Mr.. Hayes does
not stop his "electioneering nonsense, he
will ruin the crops of the section he is try
ing to make votes in," since it has trustwor-
thy advice that there is no lack of food for
them. 1t therefore beseeches Sensible men
in Congress to put stopper on the lips of
this enterprising Hayes, who is so intently
electioneering on the public money and at
the expense of our growing crops"
The Chicago Times thus explicitly defines
its opinion of Professor Swing and his ac-
cuser: 'David Swing is simple, honest
man, born with great gifts, but among them
is not beligerence. He has not the tempera-
ment to fight men for his own sake, however
bravey he fights for Gods; and he sees no
reason, for Gods sake, or his own, to fight
an incarnate theological devil like Professor

A FATAL OBJECTIoN.-The st. Louis Globe
is of opinion that much of the opposition which,
lamentable as is the fact, undoubtedly does ex-
ist in the masculine mind to comforting the
right of suffrage upon women, arises from the
conduct of the fair sex on the streets in rea-
ton to vehicles. A woman armed with horse
and buggy is more dangerous member of So
ciety than man with a step-ladder over his
shoulder, when some friend behind him sud-
denly accosts him. For the rule of the road
she has as much contempt as military court
has for Cushing's Manual, and her ignorance is
rendered more deadly by her vacillation When
a stolid countryman meets you and keeps stead
ilyito the left, you can consign his eyes and
soul to a summer resort mentioned in the
twentieth of Revelations, and drive on safe in
the consistency of his stOlidity. But when a
female iehu, with one rein in each hand and
chirrup on her lips, bears down upon you in
formidable irresolutiOn, now menacing the
right then the left, then driving straight on
you to sheer to the right, and. at the last mo-
ment, cross your bows as if she were in charge
of a Transatlantic steamer, there is nothing to
be done but to sit still, and swear and pray.
The whole performance, tuo, is enhanced by
the innocence with which, after your pole has
grazed the tire of her hind-wheei, and the ends
of the axles, in passing have SO closely APP
preached each other as to carry death to the
flies thereon, she remarks: ''Stupid!'

A Ubiquitous Myth.

Mr.. Tom Collins, native of the metropo-
lis, and who has lately been heard of in
Bridgeport and New Haven, arrived here Sat-
urday-or is supposed to have done so. His
presence in town was soon noised abroad.
By popular report Mr.. Collins is an inveterate
and unbushing villifier of regulations. Ap-
parently he was uncommonly slanderous on
his arrival here, for many people were soon
in quest of him to call him to account. His
headquarters were at the Clinton House, and
in the course of the afternoon over one hun
dred people called there in search of him. One
individual was intensely indignant at some
thing he heard Collins had said of him, and
with a revolver in his pocket and vengeance
IN his heart, he continued thefrultless search.
Collins, it appeared in each case, had just
stepped out, and though the directions as to
his destination were always explicit, yet they
never lead to him. Like Sairey Camps
friend, Mrs. Harris, he was not visible to the
naked eye. He made no end of trouble, and
the walls of wrath poured upon him would.
iguratively speaking, fill hogshead. Life is
too short to allow the narration of his ont
rageons exploits. All sorts of men were AT.
ter him-the policemen as well as private citi-
zens. At one time Sunday he was supposed
to be Gagged at last: his name was recorded
on the slate of the station house and the
charge against him was-murderl But the
many who visited cell No. 10 found it vacant.
In some way be had escaped. It is hoped
by the weary public that he has left town for
good.-HQrtf0rd C0urQnt.

Young MEN IN SOUTH CAROLINA. = call
has been issued for delegate convention of
young men in South Carolina, irrespective OF
party, for the purpose of taking part more eff
fectually in the effort to ''put down the enor.
nous frauds and every species Of corruption
which exists in the State, county, and city
governments" The call says: SIT is for our
interests as young men, to unite to reduce tax
alton and stop corruption, knowing that soon
our fathers will have passed away, aud that if
the present system of abuses are permitted We
the young men of the State, will have saddled
upon ourselves debt which will be so oppres-
slve, even to pay the semi-annual interest.
Therefore, we feel it our duty to ourselves and
our posterlty to rise in our might and unload
the thieves, who have well-nigh ruined the fair
est of the Carolinas, gaining their power by q
sweet tongue and lying lips We take truth,
honesty and competency for our motto, and

1t is now proposed to do away with the
Eads jetty plan and the st. Philip canal
project for obviating the distractions at the
mouth of the Mississippi Instead of un-
loading barges at New Orleans grain ele-
vator may be built at the site of the proposed
st. Philip canal, to which barges can be
taken to discharges their cargoes. A rail
road of seven miles length across a narrow
neck of land, will transport grain from the
Mississippi to Isle au Breton sound, which is
always accessible to the largest ships. This
would cost much less than either of the
other plans, and could be put into execution
in very much shorter time. 1t would also re.
move the objection to vessels going to New
Orleans in ballast, and lessen The cost Of
transportation by increasing the abundance
of sailing craft.

THE DISTRICT INVESTIGATION.


In the District Committee Tuesday Cluss, the
engineer member of the board of public works,
was fully Wind icated in every material point
which he has made during his testimony
against the management of thei board Judge
Wilson obliged the board to produce all the
books and papers called for, and from these
and the testimony of officers and employees of
the board all of Mr.. Cluss's exposures were
subStantiated and many matters proved to be
worse than he had represented them. The tes-
timony occupied the entire day. and the result
has created general sensation. The board is
thus left without shadow of foundation for
the false representations they made to the
President to procure the removal of Cluss, and
the outrageous attack they made upon him, are
reacting severely to their own hurt.
PASSAGE OF NEW NAVAL RELIEF BILL.
The Senate Tuesday passed the bill reported
from tt naval committee by Mr.. Cragln, for
the relief of contractors of vessels of war and
steam machinery. The provisions allow claim
ants to institute proceedings in the court of
claims, and in the event of any of them having
been paid more in amount than the losses sus
tanned by reason of delays occasioned by the
Navy department and the incident rise in Ia
Dor and material entering into the construction
of vessels, the court is authorized to render
judgment against such claimants in favor of
the United States, for excess. The bill is gen.
eral in its terms and has been before Congress
for long time. Many eastern and western
shipbuilders are interested in it.

CT 1o,,s has had its imagination inflamed

ST.. LOUIS has had its Imagination indamed
by Colonel Hines, United States Minister to
Brazil. As the representative of the Emper-
or of Brazil he guaranteed full cargoes to
ships from the States, to say nothing OF the
outward voyage. He said Brazil consumed
annually $50, 900 barrels Of flour, that it man
ufactured not single article, that it sent
$40,000,000 annually to Europe, in gold, that
it was the richest nation on the globe in pro-
portion to its population, and that it is al
most entirely dependent upon other countries
for its subsistence. Four-fifths of the -four
it consumes is furnished by the. United
States. He thought st. Louis ought TO take
steps towards initiating trade with Brazil ior
it could furnish flour cheaper by the way Vi
gulf than by the way OF new iork anu

NEW ENGLAND FREE BAPTIST CoNvEN-
TIoN.-The New England Free Baptist Con-
vention opened it's sessions in Freeman Place
Chapel, Boston, Tuesday, evening, by an ad-
dress by the Rev. G. B. Cheney, D. D., Presi-
dent of Bates College, Maine The subject of
the address was the necessity of an association
of the Free Baptists in New England. The
reasons were given as follows: To promote the
welfare of Bates College, the great educational
interest of the denomination, the establish
ment of headquarters in Boston, the proper
support of the UNCONVENTIONAL paper, the
Morning Star. the promotion of home mission
interests and the strengthening of feeble
churches. The plan proposed by the speaker
was the consolidation or abolition of the pres
ent local societies ard the formation of strong
association, with suitable building in Boston,
the income Of which would support the various
interests mentioned. For this purpose, about
100000 would be required, and this, he
thought, could and should be raised, as the de-
nomination at large numbers 10000 commune
cants, with 1900 churches land 1900 preachers.
In New England there are $1,000 commune
cants, 500 churches, and 500 preachers; repre-
senting some $780, 900 of the population The
question of future union with the Baptists was
discussed, with some doubt of its probability
Remarks by other members of the convention
followed.

THE Ohio Constitutional Convention
while agreeing upon some very sensible and
much needed changes, appears to have
lodged the very questions it was convened to
decide. The new constitution gives the veto
power, lengthens the terms of judges, in
creases their salaries, forbids double taxa
ton and adopts the principle of minority rep
resentation. But the two important ques-
tons of prohibition and State aid to railways,
are not passed upon, being RELOCATED to the
people. The constitution to be submitted
contains double clauses, one part for license,
and one against it, one part for State aid and
one against il, which sare to be voted upon
directly by the people. Considering the
magnitude of the questions the members of
the convention are not much to be blamed
for their evasion of responsibility.
