the profitable employment Of several milliops

the profitable employment of several millions
of people. The soil would have soon fallen
into the hands of United States capitalists.
The products are so valuable in commerce
that emigration there would have been
encouraged. The emanncipated race of
the South would have found there con.
genial home, where their civil rights would
not be disputed, and where their labor
would be so much sought after that the
poorest among them could have found the
means to 20. Thus in cases of great op-
preston and cruelty such as have been
practiced upon them in many places within
the last eleven years, whole communities
would have sought refuge in Santo Domingo,
l do not suppose that the whole race would
have gone, nor is it desirable that they
should their labor is desirable, undispen-
sable almost, where they now are, But
the possession of this territory would have
left the negro master of the situation" by
enabling him to demand his rights at home
on the pain of finding them elsewhere.
L do not present these views now as a
recommendation for a renewal of the sub
ject of annexation, but 1 do refer to it to
vlndlcate my previous action in regard to it.
With the present Congress my official
lite terminates. 1t is not probable that
public affairs will ever again receive atten-
ton from me further than as a citizen of
the Republic, always taking a deep interest

Arrival of Schooner Lugano

The schooner Lugano, Capt. McKown, arriv-
ed in this port yesterday morning. Our tele;
graphic dispatches Tuesday morning an
nounced that this schooner had been spoken
on the goth inst, and the captain and one man
had been washed overheard and lost The
schooner was spoken as stated by the despatch,
but the schooner j. c. Blake did not lay by or
attempt to render any assistance. On the con-
trary, the mate says she steered directly away
from them after speaking. The captain nor
none of the seamen were lost although the
captain was severely hurt and one seaman had
his leg broken, The schooner encountered a
heavy gale Monday, March Goth, in latitude
1928, longitude % "a. The vessel kept on her
course and suffered but little, but about three
o'clock Tuesday morning the schooner shipped
a heavy sea. The captain was standing at the
wheel at the time and was knocked down and
badly injured. He was taken up but remained
unconscious for five hours. His face now shows
the marks of the fall John Bancroft of East
Machias, seaman, was also knocked down
aud had his left leg broken. Another seaman
was thrown down and badly injured. The sea
also broke the main boom and tore the main
Sail. Lis SEA also washed tne quarter uecK,
and stove in the doors and windows of the cab
in filling it with water. The wheel, boat and
galley were also carried away, and two hogs.
heads Of molasses and two casks of water were
washed from the deck. This was the only sea
that the schooner shipped, and sincs that they
have got along as well as could be expected
considering the small crew. Mr.. Bancroft had
his leg set on board tie vessel and is now quite
comfortable.

SHIPBUHDING IN MAINE.-Information oh.
tanned at the New York branch of Lloyd's
Bureau Veritas is to the effect that the best
ship carpenters in Maine are now glad to work
at from 81 to $1.75 per day; foreman, So. This
being the season when ship-bullders start the
years business, with the expectation of launch
ing their finished work in the fall, the prospects
for 1876 are just now regarded with interest.
Boston and Newburyport are not likely to equal
last year. At Kennebunk they are now build
ing or ships, and at Bath or 10, all large
vessels 1000 tons and upwards. Farther East,
at Waldoboro, Damariseotta and Thomaston,
there are probably s more, and on the Penob-
scot g or are building, that is, are in progress
or the frames are getting ready. The opinions
entertained by Eastern ship builders may be
gathered from recent letters. One of them
writing from Bath says:-"I think $50 or SOL
per ton will pay the bills on good ship I
present prices, but there would be no profit for
the builder In support of this view it is
known that the ship Palmyra, fine vessel OF
1856 tons, was recently finished at $50 per ton
ready sea, and at Kennebunk new to image has
been offered as low as $4S per ton all com plete.

FIRST BAPTIST CoNcERT.-The entertain
ment at the vestry of the First Baptist church,
last evening, was well attended and thoroughly
enjoyed. 1t consisted of readings and instru-
!. mental and vocal selections. The Apollo Club,
which was assigned the first number ON the
programme. was unable to take part owing to
the illness of a member. The vocal soloists
were Miss Mabel Stevens, Miss Ida Tarbox.
Miss Susie B. Dryden and Mr.. Albert B. Hail.
All were pleasing, but the song by Miss Tar.
box, who certainly is not above ten years Of
age, was most noticeable ON account of the re-
markable strength and compass of her voice.
Misses Beckett and Cummings rendered duet
in manner which showed careful training
and the closing number on the programme, a
quartette by Misses Webster, Cummings, Web
ster and Beckett, was one of the most pleasing
and best rendered. Mrs Merrill and Pettengil
executed expressiyely piano duet from II Troy
atore, and Miss Alice 1. Evans a solo. The
readings by Miss Annie J. Rogers and Miss
Alice M. Cakes showed fine elocution and ex.
preston. A bright dialogue by number Of
small children of the Sabbath school created
considerable merriment
