they have discovered evidence sumcieht

not recommend his impeachment, lor

One of the strongest points niaue ~ Inc
majority report will be proof that there IS
a deficit in the Bureau OF Clothing ana
Provisions Of over 3l,NO,NN, which the
officers OF the Department cannot eA-
plain.
This is of a piece with the general
course OF the Democracy since its north
ern and southern representatives got
the upper hand in the House Of Repre-
sentativss. Determined upon the des-
truction OF every prominent Republican,
they have no hesitation in resortine to
any means, however disrsputable and
unfair to attain their ends. There bein.
nothing upon which to impeach the
Secretary of the Navy they attempt to
forestall public opinion and condemn
him, unheard. II Robson is unit to

concluded to go thus far, q further step is
easy and natural: and resolution which

line from here to connect with the Detroit q Nil
waukee R. r. at Grand Haven. The completion
of 46 miles Of road and connection with the Chi
cago Lake Huron r. r. appears feasible for the
former, and sufficient offering of freight is all
that is required TO accomplish the latter, but these
remedies are not expected to cure the evils. We
believe the best practical results can only come
from undue action on the point of shippers and
business men, aud to this end we recommend the
immediate organization of an association, which
may be done under the auspices of the Board of
Trade for the mutual protection of all citizens
doing business with railroad or transpottion COM
panies; such association, backed as it would be
by the moral influence and support Of this board
and the community, though possessed of no special
powers from the State, would approximate in its
resultS,hose obtained by the railroad commission
ers of Massachusetts,, where the gravest abuses
have been corrected, mainly by these honest, en-
crgctic men. A similar ASSOCIATION is doing ef-
fcent work in New York city, and VIC make the
recommendation in general way, leaving the
details OF its organization for such future consid-
Grafton as the Board OF Trade may determine to
give it,.

Chicago, February s. The committee on trans
portaion recently appointed by the Chicago Board
Of Trade to investigate the matter OF The alleged
discrimination against Chicago and in favor OF
other cities N ade by the Eastern pool lines, re-
port that they have found the most serious charges
substantiated by the fact that the discrimination is
of three kinds, that of a pool line, by bankrupt
and by independent railroads.
They give long array of figures and statistics
which they have collected, and many facts and
instances gathered from various sources to explain
how the discrimination is made. They conclude
ave think every encouragement should be given

We spoke of the expected Quarterly to convene
with Us, as promising much. We were not disap-
pointed, for the prayer services were exceedingly
interesting, and moved by deep feeling for con-
version OF souls. The young peoples prayer
mce.icg on Tuesday evening, was decidedly of
that character. There were many deep and inter-
estiny sermons, but most prominent was the one
of Rev. l.. ID. Hills of Waldoboro upon the text ::
"rhe fervent effectual prayer of the righteous
availeth much" lie spoke of the logica conclu-
sion that must follow if we adopt the theory that
all our faith is vain, our Bible a falsehood, and
many other strong points in "rednetio ad a6sur-
dunn" Then gave proof OF what prayer had done,
instances of its recorded answers, etc. His points
were well taken and the how, when and where OF
prayer was good encouragement to the christian
heart. Revs. Mathews of Thomaston, Morse of
Friendship, Bower Of Camden. Haskell of Rock
land and Whittemore of st. George gave sermons
full of thought and christian spirit. The only
mar to the enjoyment of the goodly num-
Der of visitors, WAS the tremendous blow

A Worthy object.

Mr.. EDITOR will you allow me to occupy
small space in your columns to call the attention
of our citizens, and other persons wko may be
temporarily stopping in the city, to an entertain
ment worthy of their patronage. l refer to the
grand mil tary allegory of the Color Guard, to be
presented by the members of the Grand Army,
assisted by ladies of the place, on Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday evenings Of this week. The
Grand Army is purely benevolent organization,
composed of Union soldiers and sailors who were
engaged in the late war; and perhaps our citizens
are not awarc--or have not given it . thought-of
the large number Of these who have been wound
ed more or less severely. By reference to the
surgeons report of Seth Williams Post, it will be
found that out of some eighty comrades whose
names appear on the rolls, nearly fifty have been
struck by the rebel bullets. 1t is the purpose of
the Grand Army to care for their needy and desti-
tute Comrades, and the widows and orphans of
those who fell fighting the battles for the Union.
To assist in accomplishing this grand object the
members of the Post have engaged to reproduce
the drama which was so well received last fall.
Let us all attend and help swell the fund to be
devoted to such benevolent purpose b.

An old Irish lady, zone of the ancient kind
who evidently believes in "a wee drop of the
chreater," came to the Insane Hospital the other
day. to visit her husband, who had been an in
mate Of the institution for some two years. She
was accompanied by her daughter, buxom
girl of some twenty summers Something
strange was noticed in the appearance of the
old lady, All it soon leaked out that she had
brought along with her little spiritual comfort"
for the old man. in the shape of quart and half
of whiskey. They hsd started with two quarts,
but on their way managed to worry down part
of the liquid rye. The old lady was pretty high
while at the Hospital, but the remaining liquor was
poured out to defle the earth, and never reached
the poor prisoner for whom it was intended.
