THE OCEAN TRAFFIC.
Reasons Why Portland Should be Alive.
IN Journal yesterday said:

The Boston Journal yesterday said
"The absurdity of any great additions to
our own present railroad connections with the
West, until largely increased accommodations
upon the deep water of our harbor are provi-
ded for, was abundantly illustrated day or
two since, when no less than six ocean steam
ships were waiting in the stream for berth
room and three others were in docks un-
provided with railroad connections. Here
were steamships sufficient to occupy the dock
accommodations which the Boston and ALBANY
Fitchburg, and New York and New England
roads are reported to have in the course of
immediate development, and shows that other
and important develop pments are imperatvey
demanded,
The Boston Herald yesterday said tn at on
Saturday last eighteen steamships were await
ing chance to load, and pokes fun at the
proverbial slowness of Portlanders becauses
they don't improve their facilities and hold
on to the Grand Trunk.
The Journal refers to the extension Of the
Adirondack Railroad through the wilderness
OF Northern New York to Ogdensburg, con-
Meeting there, as it is proposed, with both the
Grand Trunk and with the Canadian Railway
now being built northward to Lake Nipissng
and the Sault st. Marie, where both the
Northern Pacific and Canadian Pacific are K
pected to meet it. Gen. Burt is building a
road from Saratoga to Troy to catch the busi-
ness of that road for Boston if he can With
the Grand Trunk terminus at Portland, and
with our Ogdensburg DAD, it d oes seems as if
Portland might get this business if some en-
terprise was shown.

The Senatorship.

The Lewiston Journ al in its issue of las
Monday, published an extract from letter on
the senatorial question which appeared in the
New York Herald of the Sd inst The writer
OF this letter does not say one whit too mncl
in praise of Congressman Frye's many good
qualities, and truly says that there are few
more popular men in Maine, but when he saws
that the York county delegation, since the
withdrawal of Hon. T. B. Reed, is practically
unanimous for Mr.. Frye as Senator Hamlin'.
successor, he goes altogether too far. The peo
pie Of this eeunt ty will mot thank the author Of
this letter, or the Lewiston Journal either, for
trying to forestalI their opinion in this matter
The fact is that the greater part of the support
which Congressman Reed would have received
from this county had he remained in the con
test, has gone to Hon. Eugene Hale. We
speak advisedly when we say that it is the de
sire OF very large majority of the voters nj
this county to see the ability, integrity, and
acknowledged services Of Mr.. Hale recognized
by making him Senator Hamlin's successor
While Mr.. Frye undoubtedly has as many
warm and disintereSted friends in York as in
Androscoggin county, it is their belief that he
is decidedly the right man in the right place
where he now is, and that with as weak q
delegation as Maine would have in the House
without him, her interests would suffer more
than they would gain by his going to the Sen.

IRISH LAND LEAGUE.
Fogg "Goes for" the Boston Herald.

The Irish Land League held large and en-
thusiastic meeting in the hall of the I. A. r.
A. last evening. The hall was packed, large
number being drawn together, no doubt. to
hear the Hon. F. M. Fogg, who was announced
to lecture under the auspices of the League.
Mr.. Fogg was received with great applause.
He said that he proposed to give utterance to
his own sentiments only; that he alone and not
the League was responsible for them. He
said the world moves. The people of Ireland,
like the people of France, are batteripg against
one OF the most accursed systems which ever
disgraced the annals of nation. In their ef-
forts they deserve the hearty cooperation of
All true lovers of liberty. Parnell and his fol-
lowers mean eventually to enroll Ireland in
tho catalogue of nations Mr.. Fogg said that
the land was the natural heritage of all men.
II belongs to them as much as Gods sunlight.
You have as much right to rob him of the one
as the other. The miserable aristocrats of this
city are afraid to join hands with us against
the landlord vampires of Great Britain. The
Boston Herald is supported mainly by the
common people, and yet its columns daily
TEEN with abuse of this great movement and
Its patriotic leaders. He advised all
of his hearers to "Boycott" that assas-
sin sheet The cause of the people of Ire
land is our cause, and that of the people of
Russia, OF Hungary, and Germany. Mr.. Fogg
said we should hurl our thunderbolts against
the monopolies which rear there horrid front
in this country.
At the close os Mr.. Fogg's remarks, upwards
OF fifty gentlemen signed the rolls.
Stirring remarks, appealing to the members
present to work zealously for the cause, were
made by Charles Mccarthy, Jr., and Mr.. T. F.
Sheehan.
The meeting was the most enthusiastic since
the formation of the League. There are now
opo bup nd ,horc +bo
League promises to be one of the largest in the
United States. A communication was received
from Rev. John Murphy, expressing his SYM
pathy with the objects of the League, and con-
tributing ten dollars to its funds.
The secretary of the League is in communi-
cation with James Redpath, and hopes to Sc
cure him to lecture to the citizens of Portland
in short time.

The Supreme Court.

A Boston Herald despatch says the Massa-
chusetts delegation are urging the appoint
ment of Attorney General Devens as Associ-
ate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United
States as soon as a vacancy occurs. If Presi
dent Hayes has the appointment Mr.. Devens
will undoubtedly be nominated, but it is
thought that Gen. Garfield will prefer Chief
Justice Gray of Massachusetts,. The health
of Justice Clifford has declined very rapidly
in the past few days, and he is liable to die any
day. There is little likelihood that he can out
last another month. His mind is wholly gone,
and nothing seems to remain but final disso-
luton. which may occur at any moment. Gen.
Devens, therefore, may we'll regard his pro-
motion to the bench as sure thing. The
resignation of Justice Strong will be handed
to the President this week ,and it is now known
that Judge Woods of the Florida circuit, who
is a native of Ohio, will be promoted to fill the
vacancy. The resignation of Justice Swayne
will be presented after the holidays, and it is
also said that he will be succeeded BY Stanley
Matthews of Ohio. Should Justice Hunt OF
New York retire during the present admins
tration, Senator Edmunds will undoubtedly be
appointed to fill the place.
