The "PooIing,, Proposition.

Last evening we received a despatch from
Boston, stating that the directors of the Bos-
ton & Maine at a meeting this Thursday
afternoon, voted to accept the contract submit
ted by committee of the Boston & Maine and
Eastern directors for business east of Portland
and west of Boston,"
For some time there has been a report that
parties on both boards of directors have been
laborng to bring about some arrangement
whereof no clashing of interest will take
place between the two roads relative to business
over the Maine Central and from Western
roads to competing points on the Boston u
Maine and Eastern roads. From various par
ties we have learned that the matter was SUBJ
mt.ed some time since to committee compos-
ed of members of both boards, and that this
committee reported contract which
the directors of the Boston & Maine have ac-
cepted but which awaits the action of the
Eastern directors. Magnates in both boards
are reticent as to the terms of the contract, but
from what we could learn yesterday and last
night, the following is substantially correct:
First, it is assumed that it costs 60 per cent. of
the amount received for transportation to do
the business. The other 40 per cent. this con-
tract provides shall be "pooled'' and divided.
The amount thus received by both roads for
business coming from the Maine Central to any
competing point on the two roads is to be so
divided that the Eastern shall have % per
cent. and the Boston & Maine Is per cent. 1t
is understood that the Eastern is given a larger
per cent. because that company has expended
large amount of money in securing the Maine
Central business. 1t is further provided that
the Portland & Ogdensburg, which has bust
ness contract with the Eastern, shall be allowed
to issue tickets to Boston over the B. & Nj
and the competing points on both roads which
they cannot now do. The 40 per cent. of west
ern business coming through Boston is to be
divided equally between the two companies.
At present a large amount of business from
the west, comes to the Boston & Maine over
road from birmingham to Lawrence, with
which that road has a business arrangement,
consequently of the 40 per cent. of the receipts
from business from that source, the Boston q
Maine is to have % per cent. and the Eastern

AUGUSTA, May ], 1875.
NV Dear Sir,-Yours of the 18th is at hand.
In reply to your inquiry l am free to say. do
not think the recent instructions of the Treas
ury Department are tenable in law, or as pro-
lection to the revenues, while they necessarily
impose a needless restraint upon trade. Expe-
rence, am persuaded, will demonstrate the
inadcduacy and injustice of this newly inau-
gurated policy and the sinexpediency of its con-
tnuance.
1 shall be glad to confer with your Board as
to the future intererest you may properly take
in the matter, at the earliest moment find
myself relieved of an indspostion which keeps
me in doors just now:
Very respectfully yours,
(Sicned) LOT M. MORRILL,.
Hon. G. w. Woodman, President of the
Board of Trade, Portland.
A meeting will be called soon to receive the
report of the delegates appointed to visit Wash
ipgton and confer with the Department.
A communication was read from the Ma
tional Board of Trade, giving notice of its an

EXHIBITION AND DANcE.-Every member OF
the Portland Turpverein has reason to be proud
of the entertainment given by few of the
members of the Association. The whole COM
pany first appeared in their Indian club exer-
else. Then Hudson, Winchester and Hunt did
some excellent feats on horizontal bar. Bar
rows and Bailey were perfectly at home on the
trapeze, and performed some daring feats.
Doldt, Hudson, Wish, Hunt and Winchester
performed the difficult feats with ladders to the
satisfaction of all. Doldt and Winchester were
loudly applauded IN their ring feats, as were
Wish and Hudson in their Indian club exer-
else. The exhibition closed with posturng and
tumbling by Doldt, Hudson. Winchester and
Wish.
A social dance was INDUCED in at the close of
the exhibition, excellent music being furnished
by Chambers Band.

A STRANGE PRoCEDURE.-We lean that
young man named Stimson, who said that he
came from st. John, and was graduate of one
of the colleges there, came to Bath and joined
Baptist churcht; then he went to Topsham
and preached for tie Free Baptists OF that
place, at the same time attending medical lee
ures at Bowdoin He represented to the peo-
pie of Topsham that he had received SlZoo
call from Thomaston, which upon investigation
proved to be false. The committee OF the
church met Wednesday and decided, that
while the charge against him was fully sus'
tanned, and that his connection with the church
should be severed, that they ought to grant him
a letter of recommendation. This is certainly
a strange procedure

The Union Pacific Railroad Case
THANKSGIVING.


Thanksgiving.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The Supreme
Court took up the Union Pacific railroad
case at noon yesterday. Attorney Gen.
eral Pierrepont appeared in behalf of the
Government, and made his maiden ar
gument as Attorney General before the
Court. The Courtroom was filed, and
the remarks Of Mr.. Pierrepont were list.
ened to with much attention. He ad-
hered closely to the text oil his brief filed
yesterday, and argued thatunless Court
can find that the act Of Incorporation ex-
pressly provides that The pay
ment of interest due on bonds
issued to the company by
the Government may be deferred by the
company until the principal is due, then
it should be the duty OF the Court to find
tor the Government. He said the Su-
preme Court was the only safeguard be-
tween the Government and fraudulent
claimants, and intimated that but for this
safeguard the Treasury of the United
States would be bankrupt.
MIR. Haughton, of New York, followed
in behalf OF the company in a very able
argument.
The President issued his proclamation
designating the 25th day Of November as
