The Bangor Commercial is whistling
bravely to keep its courage up and sees a
smile for Roberts gains in the growing grass.
This does not at all correspond with the pos
tive utterances OF The business manager of
that establishment, who, though well known
practical temperance man, declared soon
after the convention, we are told, that the
Democracy looses ten thousand votes by not
adopting Mr.. Rawson's resolution which he
didn't present.

A GERMAN statistician who has been in
vestigating the production of the precious
metals says that the United States is now the
greatest silver producing country in the
world. In 1873 we produced $35,0OO,OOO in
silver. Yet the Ohio Democrats clamor for
more paper money, and the Iowa Democrats
whine for it, and some of the Maine Demo-
Gratis want it, but don't dare to say so.

LATE accounts of the calamity in Farnce,
caused bv the overflow of the Garonne. rep
resent the disaster to be greater than at first
reported. Nothing like it has occurred on
the continent for the last fifty years. One
hundred thousand people have been thrown
upon the charity of the public, and the dam
age done to property will reach eighty mil
lions ofdollars. The French people appear
to be responding with great readiness and lib
erality to the calls made upon their compass

FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 2, 1875
FOR GOVERNOR,
GEN. SELDEN CONNOR.
Portland.

Portland.
The GROWERS who have been all the while
saying that the city of Portland is standing
still will find that the census as recently TAX
en- does not sustain their dubious and doleful
utterances. In 1870, five years ago the pop-
ulation of the city was 81 ALB. The census
just completed by the city officials shows a
population of "a ,420-a gain of 3O07, or more
than 900 year. This gain, however gratify-
ing, does not compare with the increase Of the
business of the city, particularly its Wholesale
trade, which, in the same period, has nearly
doubled. In the same time the facilities of
our people for doing basiness have been large.
ly increased. particularly by railway communi-
cation.
-Four years since, the people of Portland
had not recovered from the disastrous effects
OF the fire. Many stores were without ten
ants that are now filled with goods; ''to Iet'
was very common placald in the windows
OF houses and people generally were feeling
very blue after the lively times incident to
the rebuilding of the burned district. This is
now fairly overcome; and while in common
with the whole country, Portland feels the
present business lethargy, there is every rea-
son to believe that its people feel the pres
sure less heavily than many other cities.
There is an unusual amount of building 90
ing on, so much, that many mechanics from
abroad find employment here. When busi-
ness starts up again, as it must in time, it
needs 40 special gift of foresight to predict that
Portland will enter upon period of business
prosperity such as she has never seen, and
that the next census will show far greater
evidences OF prosperity that the bare figures
presented by the enumeration of the city of
ficials. There is certainly every rea-
son for hopefuness in view of the energy and
ability of our business men and tie enter
prises they have undertaken and are carry
ing on.

one was upon tip-tor Of cXpectatation Tor
something new In fact the declarations
made freely that Mr. Cabell would not
testify and the threats made by some IN
discreet citizens that he should not De
sent to Jail intensified the interest and
brought a large audience to the hall OF
the House Of Delegates upon its re-as-
sembling at ten o'clock Nearly an hour
was spent in routine business before
the Speaker announced that MIR.
CabeIl was still before the House in
contempt, and then the excitement began.
Mr. Cabell was asked if he was prepared
to answer the questions propounded to
him BY the committee and the House
and his reply was u refusal to answer,
and denial OF the right Of the House
TO compel him to crimnate himself Then
followed scene of excitement and earn.
est debate, impossible to describe. But
good judgment prevailed throughout and,
NJ. Cabell was, by the direction of the
House, placed in the hands of the Sheriff
by the Sergeant-at-Arms, and amidst
some confusion lodged in Jail. There
was, Of course, no set attempt to inter-
fere with the course of the authorities,
although the excitement was at fever heat
Later in the day Mr.. Cabell's counsel,
Messrs. Hogeman and Quarter, made
application TO the Court Of Appeals for
his release upon writ of haJeas corpus
but it was refused upon the
papers presented because they were de
fective. Mr.. Cabell will remain in jail
ENJOYING such comforts rs the sheriff can
consistently furnish until this application
for hGJcas corpus can be renewed, and
heard, and disposed of upon its merits
There are various opinions as to the pro
bable results, and some regard his release
as certain. while others do not think it
possible for the court to interfere. The
case of DR. Cullen, of Richmond, whom
the Court of Appeals of the old States
decided that he could not be made to an
swer questions eliminating himself, and
that he himself must be the Judge of such
questions. will be cited to sustain the APP
peal to judicial interference. But it Is
believed that this decision will have no
great bearing, It's the constitution OF this
State declares that no criminal act
brought to light through witness being
compelled to testify before an investiga.
ton. can be punished by trial, &c. There
is broad rumOrs that more men than the
one now in durancc VILE will be sent to
iail ere thi, investigation is closed. The
disposition grows stronger every day to
pres, the research into the conduct OF
State affairs, let it hit who it may.

SroCKs-Thc market opened irregular
but in the main week, Pacific Mail being
an exceptionally strong stock. As the
day advanced the whole list became
weak under the influence of Western
l-nion and Union Pacific and prices de
clined i@3 per cent. Western Union
declined to 723. when it was known that
the Executive Committee decided to re-
ducc rate, Monday to correspond with
the reduction made by the Atlantic and
Pacific Company Later in the day there
was slight recovery, but towards the
close stocks were very dull and weak, cX-
capt Pacific Mail. The market closed
active and weak. The bears profess to
be in receipt of dispatch from Nashville
to the effect that efforts are being made
in the legislature to repudiatc portion
of the bonded debt of the State. The
