HORSE RAILROADS IN PORTLAND Probably
in the great march of improvement which has
characterized this century, not hing has been
more rapid than this safe and convenient mode
of transit, now adopted in all of our large cit
les. In comfort, convenience and cheapness
they excel all ancient modes of transit. The
writer has seen these horse railways, or tram
ways as they are called in England, and cAeval
chentn de fer in France in full operation, and
has never yet seen any under more perfect Or
ganization than the one in Portland now under
the superintendent Of Mr.. Almon Leach. In
point of promptness Of time, good condition of
horses, cleanliness of carriages, and courtesy
of conductors, it equals, if not excels, any line
in our metropolitan cities or abroad. We are
glad to see that Mr.. Leach has applied the;use
of the celebrated lubrcating grease to his car
wheels, manufactured by the Union Lubricator
Company, which is now coming in general use
'an 81 OF eur railroads both by steam and
horse; also in all of our large factories We
learn from those we'll versed in the matter that
it is the most safe, economical and sure lubri.
Gator in the world, and we trust that Mr.. G. II
Merrill, tie patentee, will reap rich harvest
from his invention.

RETURN OF Mr. STANToN.-The steamer
City of Richmond, last evening, brought Pres
ident 90 Maxwell and ex-President Stanton of
the Texas colony, from Bangor. The latter
gentleman was invited by Mayor Hamlin to
seek more congenal cline. 1t would be
fine thing if he could be induced to continue
his travels southwark, but he says he has come
to stop and there is but little doubt of it. He
received perfect ovation from his friends on
his arrival at the wharf. That is, he said he
did. Thinking there might be interesting bus
mess transacted at the headquarters last even
ing, our reporter dropped in about eight o'clock
and found just eleven men there. One of them
was jolly oyster dealer in Market Square, who
with few others had dropped in to hear the
music.
The first business of the meeting 90 was the
discussion of the question as to whether stan
ton was frand or not Strange as it may
seem Mr. Appleton and one other stood up for
their ex-leader, while Mr.. Carter and others
denounced him in the bitterest terms. While
this question was under consideration, the
great Stanton himself arrived. Then there
was music. Stanton was glad to see them and
made some little talk, announcing himself as
the head of the colony instead of Maxwell.
Carter remarked in a sinister manner that he
thought he had been kicked out. Mr.. S. asked
him what he had to say about the matter. LAS
much as any one" replied Carter. Then Mr..
S. was unfortunate enough to remark that the
gentleman did not always speak the truth,
which compliment was returned. AT last Car
ter jumped over the counter and announced his
readiness to whip any man who said he was a
liar. This rather took Stanton by surprise,and
he said it was all trick to get him arrested
and out of the way. ''You know am under
bonds to keep the peace row. he said. Carter
said he wouldn't use any law, but he would
like to get at the man who had used the colony's
money to buy butter with. A mutual friend
appeared ard by acknowledging that Stanton
lied, succeeded in pacifying Carter. Stanton
spent the rest Of the evening in denouncing
the newspapers which had so successfully
blocked his game.
