Miss Rogers, Benefie.

A large and enthusiastic audience greeted
Miss Genevieve Rogers at her benefit last eve
ming, and its appreciation found expression in
applause, in repeated calls before the curtain,
and in offerings of flowers. Among the "floral
tributes" was an elegant boquet from Miss
Marsh, with card expressing her deep gratif-
cation at Miss Rogers success and an earnest
hope for her happy future. The play of course
passed off well; it could receive no dull repre-
sentation in the face of so appreciative and de-
monstrative an audience. The talented young
actress has just reason TO be gratified at so
hearty recognition of her genius.
"Maud Muller" despite it's fantastic varia
tions from the poem upon which it processes to
be based, and lis trivial treatment of a noble
theme, has undoubtedly hit the popular taste.
The large audience evidences that. It's min.
gled humcr and pathos, and, the reserve and
del'cacy which characterize it, appeal to a class
which rarely shows itself at theatre, as we'll
as to all lovers of good play. This afternoon
and evening the last opportunities to see "Maud
Muller" will be offered. OF course they will be
improved.

The late session of the Grand Lodge of
Maine at Gardiner, was one of great interest
and importance to the Order. The session was
routine work performed. The were about 250
delegates and alternates present as well as
large number of visitors. The number OF
members reported in Maine was sixteen
thousand, with about two hundred subordinate
lodges. Receipts of the year upwards of 81, 900;
present amount in the Treasury $40. The
appropriations for the ensuing year were very
carefully scrutinized, and cut down to the
lowest possible figure, in order to accumulate
fund for the purpose of more effectually
prosecuting the lecture and missionary work of
the Order.
The following are important items of
action Of this body: The appropriation for
the support of the Grand Lodge organ, 'srhe
ADdroscoggin Herald" was withdrawn and
the publisher of the paper censured for per-
sistently advertising in his columns "bitters''
and other Intoxicating drinks. A committee of
clergymen was appointed to draft an appeal to
the church and clergy of this state, inviting
their more general cooperation and sympathy

of the Right Worthy Grand Lodge Hon.
Sidney Perham was elected as Chief officer,
with strong board of suberdinates.
The following were elected as Representa-
tives to the Right Worthy Grand Lodge:
Hon. Sidney Perham, Hon. Benz Kingsbury,
Jr., j. w. Donigan, Esq and Mrs. G. Hughes.
The next sem-annual session of the Grand
Lodge was located at Camden.
The session closed at late hour Thursday
night, with feeling upon the part of the
delegates that in the matter of detail work and
finance the Grand Lodge and taken new
departure, in that hereafter, this body would
require the most strict accountability of it's
officials as to the trust commit ted to their case'
and that the great mission of the order was of
such Importance as to require faithfulness and
zeal in the most humble position, and employ
ing energy in every department of labor.

for the purpose of improving and saving gas.
Afterwards it became desirable to become in

method and system of this company has been
often spoken of in these columns. One Of
their meters has been in use at the Preble,

meeting and send a delegation to repre-
sent to the President, through his COM
missioners now here, the distress OF the
working classes Of the people, which
Is the result Of the political situa-
ton. This is eminently proper.
Our mechanics, who constitute one Of
the truest and most useful classes Of the
population, are the chief sufferers in
times like these, and their views are
entitled to the higest consideration.
The merchants and bankers, property
holders and professional men feel these
troubles only in the reduction Of their
revenues and the depreciation Of their
property; the working men feel them
in the actual privations and sufferings
Of their families. Let the mechanics OF
New Orleans speak out in strong and
earnest terms.

We print in another column OF the
DEMOCRAT this morning o eommunica-
ton from well known and influential
mechanic Of this city. in relation to the
situation. The merchants, bankers and
professional men Of New Orleans have
been heard, and much has been said,
and well said, by tn press OF the
strength and Importance of their
utteranoes. It Is wei now that the
mechanics should be heard, and we wish
that the laboring classes too would speak
out. The mechanics and the laboring
men are the ones who feel the pressure
of the present stagnation, caused by the
uncertainty of the situation, most sensi-
lively, and being by far the largest ele-
ments Of society, their views are OF the
utmost Importance.
We suggest that the mechanics hold
meetings, and through committees and
delegates express to the country their
grievances and their views, and their
resolved purpose to have that right to
labor and live. which ID the due OF
every and of all human beings. and
which no government and no set OF
politicians have the authority to de-
prive them Of.

Mr.. Hutchinson, no doubt. means well
in the suggestions which he has made
as to the best mode Of settlement OF the
Louisiana question, but we decline to
believe that Mr.. Hayes would be party
to a small politicians trade about the
Senatorship from this State. We are
convinced that all the current talk
about compromises and Senator
ships had its origin in the selfish aims
Of certain political sehemers and traders
n this State, and that they are the only
persons who would be benefited by q
compromise of any kind. Individual
ambition is at the bottom OF the whole
thing. It may as we'll be abandoned at
once. for no supporter OF the Nichols
Government who respects himself will
have anything to do with It.

We live and learn. 1t was reserved
for statesmen of the present day to
teach us that there are various degrees
Of legality. A Legislature composed OF
a majority Of the elected members Is q
legal body, but when few more of a
certain political persuasion are added to
it, and a few of opposite political affilia-
tions are excluded, it becomes a little
more legal, little more constitutional.
Perhaps. according to this theory of
government, the legality of Legisla-
ture depends upon the political stand
ing OF the man whom 1t may consent to
