HALLOwELL,

Within the past few days we have CLEANED
some interesting item. in regard to Miss
Prude, the Granite Company's great horse,
which departed this life recently Prude was a
full blooded Percheron. Her father and
mother were imported by the Massachusetts,
Agricultural Society in 1866. When about
five years old Prude was purchased by the
Granite Company from David Siers, ESQ. of
Boston for $500 and has been in the Company's
employ ever since-about ten years. She
was possessed of wonderful strength: could
easily draw three loaded fiat-cars weighing
at least 40 tons along the track near the
Company's sheds. The late Senator Chandler
when here expressed great admiration of
her fine qualities, and wished to purchase her
for breeding purposes. Had he lived she
would have been presented to him.
The dining hall of the Classical Academy

MURDEROUS MacLEAN.
The Man Who Attempted to Assassinate
VIctOria-UndOubtedl a Crank.

WINDSOR, March 4.
MacLean was driven 10 the town hall, yes
terday, in an open fly in charge of Superin
tendent Hayes. He has wretched look, and
is a man very much of the Guiteau type.
He was unclean and unshaved. He was i'm
mediatelv taken before the magistrate, the
mayor of Windsor presiding. Stevenson,
solicitor of the secretary, prosecuted.
In reply to the mayor the prisoner said in
a most off'hand manner and firm voice that
his name was MacLean, Roderic MacLean.
Superintendent Hayes then swore to the
facts of the shooting, and also testified to a
letter found on the prisoner. The letter was
read. 1t said that the prisoner would not
have done the crime had ten shillings been
given him instead of the insulting sum of six
shillngs. He was compelled to commit the
crime against the the "bloated aristocracy,"
headed by ''that old lady, Mrs. Vic" Wit
ness further said that this morning the pris-
oner wished to make written statement say
ing, 81 have complete answer to the
Charge He then wrote a letter. In it the
prisoner said he was not guilty of shooting at
the Queen with the intent to do her bodily
harm. This object was only to cause public
alarm, with the object ofhaving his grievances
redressed. His pecuniary straits and circun-
stances tended to prove the truth of this state
ment Had he cared to inJure the Queen, he
would have fred at her when she was getting
out of the carriage. As it was he shot at the
wheels, but the pistol kicked and the bullet
might have hit the carriage door. The pris-
Oner was remanded.

ADDITIONAL AID
Asked from Congress to aid the Sufferers
by the Flood.
WAsHISGroN. March 5,

WASHINGTON, March 5.
The war department continues to receive
dispatches from points in the Southwest in
regard to the damages from the flood. Sec
retary Lincoln said this afternoon that the
losses and consequent suffering exceeds any
estimate yet made. There are urgent calls
for a greater measure of relief than can be
afforded within the limits of the appropria-
ton. and these demands of course cannot be
fully met without the consent of Congress.
The Senators and members of the House,
from the afflicted states, are also in receipt
of urgent kilograms. calling for an appropri-
alton commensurate with the disaster. From
Little Rock alone there are reports of $4,000
persons made absolutely destitute, and to
feed these even until the food recedes, will
require double the sum that has been set
aside for that state from the appropriation
by Congress. Senator Garland says the cor
porations and municipalities of the State are
responding literally, but that they are bur-
dened'by refugees from the flooded districts.
He also says that the present distress is
only beginning. The levees are broken in so
many places that the impoverished commun-
tiles will be entirely unable to repair them
in time to prevent an overflow when the June
rise comes. 1t is also feared that under the
best circumstances the ground will be in such
condltlon as TO delay planting until TOO late
for good crop. At an informal meeting of
the members of Congress from the afflicted
States, held this morning, for consultation it
was resolved to ask for an additional appro-
priatlon of S400. 900, and resolution will
probably be introduced in the House to that
effect tomorrow. The proposition was also
made to ask for an appropriation to repair
the the levees at once. To do this promptly
and effectively so as to be of service to
the people this year wonld require not
less than a million dollars. The considera-
ton of this proposition was referred until the
formal meeting of the members from the
river states can be called which will be done
probably tomorrow.

In the debate which ensued Mr.. Hscock
claimed that the republican party had pro-
tected naturaliZed citizens in foreign coun-
tries, by passing laws to that effect.
Mr.. Sprague advocated an amendment
which he proposed to offer, the consolida-
tions, namely, of foreign missions
Mr.. Cox said that both parties were re-
sponsible for the action of 1860. Both Gen.
Banks and Mr.. Robinson being active pro-
moters.
The debate continued for some length of
time, and was participated in by Messrs.
Robinson. Hewitt and McLane.
Mr.. Cox claimed that the Bancroft treaty
gave away the rights of naturalized citizens,
and Grant and his Cabinet were responsible
for it. Every party, from the time of John
Adams down to the present, that has opposed
the democratic party, has been federal in op-
position to naturalization.
Mr.. Robeson defended the republican party,
and Mr.. Lord defended the consular service,
as being of great value to the country and
said it was self-sustaining.
The provisions for consul at Lisbon, were
stricken out, and the bill was reported to the

GCITEAU AGAIN.
The Prospect for New Trial.-Mr. ScO-
vile to Retire, and a RumOr
that Gen. Butler will
Succeed Him.

BosroN, Mass, March 5.
A member of the Guiteau family returned
from New York tonight and has since been
advised by telegraph that new plan of ac;
ton has been adopted by the relatives of Gui!
teau in their efforts to save him from the
gallows. 1t is claimed that important evil
dence upon the former insanity of the prs,
oner has been unearthed in New York, and
they will file motion for a new trial based
upon this new evidence. In addition it is stated
that Mr.. Scoville will no longer act as coun-
sci for Charles Guiteau and that he has al
ready started for Chicago. 1t is also stated,
and not denied by the Guiteau family, that
Gen. Butler will succeed Mr.. Scoville as
chief counsel and that it is not yet decided
whether or not Mr.. Reed shall be placed in
the counsel for the defence, that the names
of the other lawyers engaged cannot at pres
ent be ascertained.
WASHINGTON, March ).
The Star has the following in relation to
the Guiteau case:
81 spent all yesterday, could and nearly
today looking over the bill of exceptions, -
said Corkhill, today, when asked about the
Guiteau case. The task requires a tedious
comparison of the testimony to see that the
exceptions are correctly stated
''What progress has been made?" asked
the reporter.
Settling of the bill of exceptions" said
Corkhill, ''involves in this case some ques
tions that have never risen before and all
l can say now is, that it will take some days
to examine the various points raised" SEQ
vile today procured copy of the record in
the case from the attorney generals office to
file with the bill. This afternoon he procur-
ed a formal order from Judge Cox extending
the December term in order that the excep.
tions may be filed.

At o'clock Hazael, who had scored five
miles exactly between 4 and 5 o'clock and
9 miles and 3 laps since 3 A. NJ, was still
keeping up the same hot pace, carrying out
seemingly his trainers statement that he

From the Progressive Age (fusion. u
The Congressional AppOrtiOn'
ment.

The apportionment act which has now been
passed by both branches of congress and been
signed by the President reduces the number
of representatives in this State from five to
four. This makes a change in the congress
sional districts necessary in order to conform
to the new apportionment
Some weeks ago, we alluded to what
seemed to us necessity for an extra session
to redistrict the State for members of the
legislature. The new congressional ap-
portionment act, it seems to US. renders that
task all the more pressing. And we can't see
how it is possible to have an election for a
legislature without first respportioniny the
State.
The constitution provides "that the legis-
lature shall within the period of at most ten
years dated from ls2l,l and at least FIVE
years, cause the number of inhabitants to be
Ascertained. exclusive of foreigners not nat
uralixed and Indians not taxed. The number
of representatives shall at the several period.
Of making such enumeration, be fixed and
apportioned among the several counties, a.
near as may be according to the number Of
inhabitants. having regard to the increase of
population
This provision is mandatory. and under it
new apportionments have been made every 10
years to the present time. And the last re-
solves making an apportionment expired by
their own limitation at the end of 10 wears
which was in 1881. The resolve of Feb. -.
1871, chap. 2s5. entitled to apportion the
State for Senators to the legislature is
follows:
Resolved. That for the Afty first legislature and
the succeeding legislatures to and including the
year one thousand eight hundred and eighty one
the state be and is hereby divided into sixteen dis
rcts for the choice Of senator's and each district
shall be entitled to eject the number of senators
herein provided. for the ferm Of ten years in the
manner prescribed by the constitution.
The resolve of Feb. %, 1871, Chap. ESQ.
to apportion one hundred and ffty-one rep
resentatives contains a similar provision.
Both are in compliance with the mandate of
the constitution which declares that an ap-
portionment shall be made within the period
Of at most ten years. and both expired by
their own limitation in 1851. No constitu-
tional and legal apportionmeut, therefore,
exists in this State. In what way, then. can
the people proceed to elect new legislature?
The idea Of electing upon an apportionment
which has now no existence is futile; and
the proposition to elect upon a general ticket
has no constitutional or legal authority in its
support, and it is moreover utterly inprac-
ticable.

THE MASON TRIAL
At an nEnd.-SpecuiatiOns as to the Sen.
tence.

WASHINGTON, March 4.
The Star tonight says there is considerable
speculation as to what are the findings of the
court martial in the case of Sergeant Mason,
charged with the shooting of Guiteau, which
concluded its labors at the Washington bar
racks arsenal on Thursday. There is an
impression that the court has acquitted the
prisoner on the ground that Mason had not
actually entered on duty at the time, nor he
did not fire at Guiteau; for at the time,
admitting that Guiteau was at the window, he
could not be seen at the point whence he
fired. 1t is generally believed that even if
the prisoner has not been acquitted that the
punishment Is not severe, and at the most,
he will not be confined long if at all Prob
ably as an example, he will be discharged
from the army with the loss of all pay and
emouments.
