The attention of the Hon. J. K. Bodwell of
lallowell on his return to his home Saturday
evening was called to special dispatch to
the Boston Herald of Sept II, from Wash
ington, d. c., in relation to statement said
to have been made by him relative to
letter from Mrs. Lot NJ. Morrill, to the Ohio
Republican State Committee. He author
lies us to say that the special dispatch above
referred to, stating that he had called on Mrs.
Morrill, and that she had made an affidavit
that she never wrote, or authorized the writ
ing of, the Morrill, letter referred to-that so
far as he is concerned it is without shadow
of foundation. ae also informs US that he
has not seen or spoken to Mrs. Morrill, for
months previous to the death of her honored
husband. He was at loss to know how his
name could have been connected with the
transaction.

Colby Notes.

The game of ball between the sophomores
and freshmen occurred last Wednesday, and
resulted in a score of II to 7 in favor of the
sophomores The game was well played
throughout.
1t is quite probable that there will be a
game of football between the sophom ores
and freshmen classes within short time.
Football occupies prominent place among
the sports of other colleges, and there seems
to be no reason why it should not be adopted
here.
The Colby Echo will be issued on the 30th
of each month during the present college
year.

The Stafford-Foster Company make
their first appearance before an Augusta
audience on Friday night, Sept. 26, in
Shakespeares's ideal creation of Hamlet
The company is now on its fourth starring
tour and if the criticisms of the prominent
journals in cities where Mr.. Stafford and
Miss Foster have already appeared can be
accepted as criterion, it is safe to predict
that their performances will be a successful
one in every particular. Mr.. Staford's
impersonation of Hamlet, and Miss Fosters
0phelia are highly appraised as artistic
characterzatons. We would advise our
readers to secure their seats in advance.

THE &. A. II.
Meeting Of the National Encampment I'm
Portland.

In the month of June next, the national
encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic is to be held in Portland, this
State. All indications point strongly now,
toward its being one of the largest gatherings
of people and, the largest gathering of old
veterans that was ever held in the State of
Maine. 1t has been estimated that more
than &c, 900 of the veterans will meet on this
occasion, many of whom will come from
distant States on the Pacific. All the loyal
States will be largely represented and even
far of California promises to send a large
delegation. To provide happily and proper
" for this immense gathering, will be a
serious task, and already at this early day,
the leading soldiers of the State are looking
over its resources and preparing pro-
gramme that will honor the State and her
guests.
Through the Adjutant General of our State
we shall be enabled to obtain from the War
Department of the United States, many IA
vors. and TO borrow much material required
by the Encampment.
But besides these loans the expenses of the
entertainment will be very large and far be-
yond the means of the Grand Army of this
State And as this will undoubtedly be the
only time the Grand Army will ever hold its
National Encampment in this State, the
Legislature will be called upon to grant
subsidy to assist our citizens IN giving
grateful and hearty welcome to the veterans
who fought the battles of the rebellion.
Twenty-Five years hence the Grand Army
will cease to exist, or consist of a handful or
inyslids, and in the mean time it will not
probably again visit Maine, as the great
central cities of the country offer greater at
fractions and facilities to the soldiers now
fast Incoming infirm from age.

FORFEITURE UNFAIR.

Sacramento Daily Bee, January l9thl
We do not see how Congress can well re.
fuse to grant the extension of time asked
for by the California and Oregon Railroad
Company in which to complete their road
betS cen Redding and the Oregon State
line. Mr.. Huntington yesterday explained
to the House Committee on Public Lands
the difficulties encountered in the extern
sion of that branch of the road, and asked
that the company should not be compelled
to forfeis any of its land grant by failure
to put the road through in the prescribed
time. The understanding was that the
Oregon Company would complete its road
through to California to connect with the
line from here, but it has abandoned the
work-for time, at least-which would
leave the California Company with ter
minus in the wilderness should it persist.
in the face of many obstacles, in pushin
on at this time. 1t is a rough country
through which to build railroad, as the
Sacramento river has to be crossed four
teen times between Reddiug and Oregon,
and something like a score of tunnels have
to be excavated. 1t would not be fair,
under the circumstances, TO compel the
company to go on at this time of the year
under pain of FORGETTING such rights rs
have been guaranteed them

BOLD AND FsAR1Bss INDEPENDENCE

RED Bluff Daily Sentinel, February 5th.l
The New York San claims to be the
champion newspaper demanding the forfeit
ure of the land grant to the California and
Oregon branch of the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company. 1t has used the goad to
such an e. tent and so effectively that many
Congressman voted hastily and without
due consideration for the favorable report
Of the bill now before the lower house A
Washington special to New York even.
ing journal says 1.-The fears Of a reaction
in the Senate against what is generally con-
ceded hasty action of the House on the
bill FORGETTING land grants, are freely ex-
pressed. The opinion gains ground that
the passage of the bill without debate, or
even an explanation of its scope, was a
mistake. 1t is regarded as a concession to
the stampede against monoDoljes, started
by the New York League and taken up by
the press. Congressman Burr, who has
been railroad man all his life, but against
whom IL was never insinusted that he had
any other interest in the Texas Pacific than
that of other citizens, when asked why he
dared stand alone in the minority when the
vote was taken, replied, One honest man
and God Almighty make majority. ,"
Such language as is attributed to Mr.. Burr
and his single "no " are without parallel
in the history of railroad legislstion-in
fact we do not remember of ever having
read of such an instance of bold and fear.
less independence in the history of any pol.
itician, and especially a member of Con.
gress. AS rule they are trimmers, and
vote as they think the popular tide is flow
ing, regardless of justice and right. The
interests of the people would be better
subserved if there were few more men 10
Congress who had the moral courage and
back bone that Mr.. Burr has.

TWO BOND DECIsIoNs.

The United States Circuit Court at San
Francisco has decided one of the Saera.
mento bond cases in favor of the city. 1t
involves the single point, whether the city
can be sued on the coupons in an action at
law?
It is important to have a clear under.
standing of the case that we may not de.
ceive ourselves. Kennedy received his
bonds from the city at face value in lieu
of Indebtedness of the city to him for work
done. His interest coupons on which he
recently sued the city fell due in 1879,
1850 and 1851 and amounted to 50, ST..
The question of the statute OF limitations
was not involved in the case. Nor was the
question at issue in this case as to whether
city officers can be compelled by mandamus
to levy the tax, or to pay money out of the
sinking and interest fand. This clears the
case of any complication as to these mat
tiers.
Kennedy made in Court these points:
l. The exemption clause in our charter
as to suits against the city is unconstitu.
tional a municipal corporation cannot be
thus protected.
>. Because the exemption violates the
contrac. of the bonds, they bsing issued
prior to the charter of 1868 and the Con.
solidation Act of lS5S-to wit, about 1852.
3. A Legislature cannot enact go as to
impair the obligation of the contract in the
bond, even if new bonds are issued under
its act in lieu of old ones for when the
debt waH created the charter provided that
the city could be sued.
4. The Constitution declares all corpo-
r'tions shall have the right to sue, and

runs may read and feel convinced of the
fact"
But the three weakest points in the
whole system since that day have not been
streugthened-wi falling waters the prom
ises fear extorted vanished. The lowest cost
for the work at the three points will be re-
spectively $4,000. $500 and $4,000. or
500, 900 exclusive of all other needs of the
Ievees. In the teeth of that fact our con-
temporary has the assurance to say that
So, 900 in the levee fund, used where it
will do the most good, will suffice"
We repeat the vote for the $40, 900 ex-
penditure this year should prevail unani-
mously. 1t is demanded by necessity, by
wise economy, by ordinary prudence, by
business sagacity, by engineering advice,
by self-insurance.
