Gen. Grants Intentions.

A leading Democratic paper in Indiana
comments upon recent article in the
Richmond Enquirer concerning the inten-
ton of the President in regard to the
coming Presidential election. The En-
quirer seems to be extremely anxious lest
Gen. Grant should make himself president
in 1876 by a coup d'et0t, and that paper is
of opinion that the present policy of throw
ing the South under military control is
simply adopted with the design OF secur-
ing all her electoral votes for the presi-
dent, or at least preventing the recon-
structed commonwealth from casting
them in favor Of any other candidate. If
any such scheme of wild ambition has
gained possession of Grants mind, it must
be confessed that he is man in every
way calculated to carry it out. But is it
not too desperate an undertaking even for
his stolid courage and matter of fact intel
lect to carry out? He may calculate, of
course, upon a part of the republican
party to support him in the most desperate
policy-even to the utter subversion OF
the government; but the man body of the
party will hardly 60 with him in this final
leap towards military despotism, He can
rely upon the small regular army, whose
only power is in the prestige which it car
ries as representing the majesty of the
nation, but he has no other source OF
strength. The House of Representatives

ority. The Senate is with him by q bare
majority of ten, and would be intensely
hostile should he attempt usulpation, 1'ht

bly, not more than half Il dozen rotte,
boroughs would muster to his support il
case he attempted to seize the fedora
power by force. Ills only hope lies in tht
use of insidious and peaceful methods
and, even granting that he can command
the support Of his own party while pro
ceeding in apparent obedience to the law
yet the task which he has before him in tn
way OF coercing the South into his supper
is tritle discouraging. The followin!
figures, adopted from the Albany Argus
give clear idea of the labor which, &C

undertaken. In the first place view 0

Gov. Crosby's Annals of Belfast.

MIR. EDITOR: In common with many other
readers of the journal, I have read with no
small degree of interest each chapter of the
"Annals of Belfast''as they have successfully
appeared.
1t is but simple justice to the writer-EN-
Gov Crosby-to say that his laudable endeavor
to rescue from "the destroying tooth of time
the history and traditions of our now fair city
has entitled him to receive the grateful com
mendation of his fellow citizens. lie has
brought before the minds eye a panoramic
view of Belfast as it appeared in its stages OF
growth and progress from 1905 to 1865, and has
given renewed vitality to those who, in former
years, served their generation, acted ''life's
brief role" and passed on to ''the undiscoy-
cred country
AS Mr.. G. has traced out municipal history
from the time the rude log cabin and humble
cottage dotted the roadside down to the period
when attractive houses and elegant mansions
became marked feature of the progress of our
social change, we realized the transposition into
practical prose of the poets lines,-
Life, active, prosperous life,
Ran thro the woods and mantled DER the land.
The log hut, like the tent in fairy tale,
Expanded to the village
And the village in turn we may add, became

All that pertains to oEr industrial and mate
rial interests during the half century covered
by the ''Annals'' has been touched upon by the
skillful pen of the writer. and invested with 4
new interest
Mr.. Crosby's biographical delineations, which
have been drawn with just impartiallty anC
with due discrimination, have added much tC
the value of his ''Annals,' and will be the more

| found to recount the deeds and merits of the
| former fathers of the town. Future geneao

biographical facts and data he had been il

Fanny, Captain Doughty, went ashore on
Irundy's Reef last night, in a storm be-
tween 8 and O'Clock, where she went to

landed two on Bangs Island and three on
Cape Elizabeth. The schooner was owned
by c. 2. Ingraham, John Lovett and others
of Portland. One man, Nelson Day, of
Cape Elizabeth. was 50 badly frozen that
he died after landing.

Messrs. Herman, Warrington & Co..
of Liverpool, ask US to call the attention
Of American shipmasters and owners to
the new dry dock regulations at that
port. Until recently sailing ships could
not be registered for entry to the craving
docks previous to arrival, while steamers
could be booked six weeks in advance of
their entry. That firm can now register
sailing ships sixty days previous to their
entry, by paying a deposit Of five pounds,
which sum goes in part payment of dock
dues. But should the ship fail to enter in
the sixty days, the deposit is lost, and the
ship goes to the foot of the list. But with
common prudence this can be avoided.

Knox Il Lincoln Railroad.

BATH, Feb. q. By the annual report of
the Directors of the Knox and Lincoln
Railroad for 1874, just issued, il appears
that the total earnings of the road for the
year were $161, 568.93, an increase over
1873 of $40, S4S.50. The net earnings over
1873 We're twenty per cent, and the in
crease of freight during the same time
was 10568 tons. Owing to the careful
and efficient supervision of the Superin-
tendent. c. A. Coombs, Esq, and the con-
slant and faithful attention of the employees
of the road, trains have been run with al
almost entire freedom from accidents, no
person having been injured on the road
for the year and with very small losses of
property.

Brazilian emigration agents have been
prohibited from making advances of
