The annual meeting of the Merchants EX'
change was held yesterday morning, Vice Pres
Ident Z. Il. Milliken in the chair. The attend
ance was good. The reports of the several ON
GERS were read and accepted. The report OF the
Superintendent, Mr.. Ring, shows that the Tx
change numbers 266 members, both individu-
ais and firms, against 219 In 1874. Two mein-
bers have died, Messrs. r. E. Wood and EDWIN
Churchill. The membership receipts amount
ed to $2192, paid to the treasurer. Last year
the receipts were $166I25, an increase the past
year of $427.75.
The report refers to the treasurer's report Tor
an account of expenditures; speaks of the
promptness and accuracy ofthe Western Union
telegraphc reports the past year; says that du-
ring the last year change has been made IN the
news matter which is now collected and sent py
the Gold and Stock, in conjunction with the
Western Union Telegraph Company from New
York and Boston, and by this last arrange
ment the arrival and departure of vessels to and
from the West Indies is received by telegraph
instead of weekly mail steamers. BY this ar
rangement important marine and local items
are received from the east. The exchange list
of papers number forty, daily and weekly, in
Guiding the leading papers of the Union.
Mr.. j. S. Bedlow, Superintendent of the Wes-
tern Union Telegraph Company, received
vote of thanks for his untiring efforts to give
the Exchange the latest news. Mr. Bedlow
responded in a few brief remarks The follow
ing directors were chosen for the ensuing year:
c. r. Milliken, A. X. Shurtleff, w. w.
Thomas, M. N. Rich, and w. Allen, Jr. Mr..
Milhken is chairman, Mr. Shurteff declining
reelection.
Remarks were made by Messrs. w. w.
Thomas, G. w. Woodman, 7. G. Hersey and
others offering suggestions as how to add value
to the Exchange. Mr.. Hersey thought it
would be we'll if the merchants could meet daily
at II a. m. to talk over this business. The mat
ter will be brought up at the next meeting OF
the Board of Trade.
General S. j. Anderson then referred to the
recent decision of the Secretary of the Treasury
regarding the sealing of cars on the Grand
Trunk. He offered the following resolutions
which were adopted unanimously:
ResolUed, That the Board of Trade of Port
land be requested at their monthly meeting to
be held on Thursday. the LIST of April, to ap,.
point three or more delegates to proceed at
once to Washington and with the aid OF the
members of Congress from this state to explain
to the administration the disastrous effect of
the recent decision of the Treasury Department
ON the business interests of this city, as well as
the extraordinary opportunities when such de-
cisiOn must open to frauds on the revenue.
Resol0ed, That such decision is not only OPP
pressive and disastrous to the commerce of this
city, but is III evident violation of the letter and
spirit of the laws of commerce,
The meeting will be held at II o'clock to.
morrow and it is expected that the meeting
will be largely attended as the matter is of VIZ
tai Importance to the merchants of Portland.

mothers, who note with keenness born of af-

mother who has used Hale's Honey of Hore-

cough, colds, horseness, whooping cough, Group

~ sort of ''roubd-robin'' was drawn up,some
thing of declaration of Independence SOL
emn pledging of lives, fortunes and sacreu
honors, to stand together for new deal anu
| for mutual protection. We have heard the
| document read and the names appended to IT,
1t was signed by all the parties in interest eX-
| cept the Boston director, who was not anxious
| for the success of the plan. He declined on
| the ground that it would make him the obJecg
| of Eastern persecution, but in the presence OF
the others he pledged himself to stand by the
compact.
Now these parties set themselves about the
work of making contract with the Boston q
Maine All the details were worked up ana
one evening in November last, cool PROPOSE
ton was received from the Boston q Maine
and laid before the Maine Central directors.
Mr.. Woodbridge and other Eastern men were
unprepared for it, and asked weeks delay
The other party, sure of a majority OF the
board and backed by 21,60O shares of Stock
were magnanimous At the next meeting the
same question came up and the B. & M. propo-
sition became contract, no one Directing lt
was happy season for the Maine Central par
ty straight. Subsequently a similar cont tract
was made with the Eastern. All was quiet;
but at a subsequent meeting letter was READ
from President White of the Boston q Name,
which stated that while the Maine Central d.
rectors had kept their agreement in discharg'
ing General Manager Hatch, the Eastern con-
ductors still ran trains over the Maine Central.
This caused Messrs. Woodbridge and Jones to
go into the air. They raved and talked war.
&C., bod
peck of his own hops. After this there was
never good feeling in the old board
At this time it is suspected that the Eastern
managers resolved on revenge, but little was
heard until three or four weeks before the an
nual meeting, when some of the parties to the
"round-robin" were found to be shaky. 1t was
understood that the Eastern were making IL
hot for the Boston director, who was painting
under his load of Maine Central stock. Anoth-
er Massachusetts party considered that he was
absolved from the promise when the Boston q
Maine contract was ratified. The rest of the
signers thought that the promise to stand by
each other was to extend to period beyond
the next annual election. But one Maine stock
holder happening in Boston, Eastern asked
him if he would sell his stock; he replied yes
for $75 share, after the annual meeting. East
ern party then went to other signers and said
MIR. x. has offered to sell.
This statement panicked other holders in
Massachusetts,, and, to make long story
short, the Eastern then found no difficulty by
purchase and promise to secure enough stock
to elect board of their choice at Waterville.
They did it to revenge themselves on those who
had been most active in securing the B. & M
contract and annulling the old Eastern bar
gain. We say they did it for this because they
protest that the policy of the old board is not
to be changed in the least.
Thus endeth sthe story as twas told u.s.
Children, put up the puppets; this act is played
out.
