STATE OF MAINE.
BY THE GOVERNOR. PROCLAMATION.

The National bereavement caused by the death
of General U. S. Grant, has suitably called forth
universal expression of sorrow throughout the
civilized world. / am aware that the heart of the
people of this State is in full sympathy with the
general expression of encomium which has been so
richly bestowed ON his exalted characteT-meas-
ured on the battle field for this Union, in its Ma
tlonal executive departments and finally exempli-
fled in that last great trial for life which he dis
played glorious spectacle of divine self sacrifice
and composure, the fruit of God-like manhood
In consideration of the death of so iustrious
patriot and statesman, | do recommend that our
National nag be suspended at half-mast on the
public buildings Of our State until the day of the
funeral and that there be general suspension of
public and private business during the hours of
the funeral services of our honored ex-presidept.

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL AND
TIE STEAMBOAT COMPANIES.

The controversy between the poStoffic de-
partment and the American steamship lines
is unfortunate, as the result will be consid-
cradle delay in the transportation of some of
the mails and the commitment Of them all to
foreign steamship lines The trouble has
been brought about purely by the excessive
zeal of the postmaster-general to make lit
tie reputation for himself and the admins
tration to which he is attached for economy.
After full discussion Congress appropriat-
ed 100000 to be distributed among the Amer
lean steamship lines carrying the foreign
mails as compensation for that work. The
intent OF Congress clearly was that the mon
ey should be paid, and though the act was so
framed that the Postmaster-Genenal could,
if he were so deposed, nulAfy it, it is none
the less certain that Congress expected that
he would pay over this money and intended
that he should. Whether the money appro-
priated was merely adequate compensation
for the service rendered or whether it was
bounty to encourage American steamship
lines was none Of the Postmaster Generals
business. Congress has the power to subsi-
die American enterprise if it sees fit, and
no officer charged with execution of the laws
has any right to inquire whether the princi-
pie underlying any particular measure is
good or bad. 1t is his duty to give effect to
the intention of the legislative branch, and
that is the whole Of it. He may differ from
Congress as to the policy of the law, but that
is no justification whatever for multiplying it,
The true policy Of the Postmaster-General
with regard to this law was to give effect to
1t according to its spirit, and not to take adj
vantage Of its letter to evade it. 1t seems
to us that in his controversy with the steam
boat companies he is entirely in the wrong.
They had the right to demand the
money that Congress voted them, and
when it was refused they had the
right to refuse to perform the service
for which it was voted as compensation.
The policy Of the law men may honestly
differ about, but there is no room for doubt
that it was the duty of the executive to en-
force the law according to its spirit
Postmaster Villas in his explanation
of his refusal says that he offered
TO double, and in some cases treble.
the compensation, and that heretofore we
have paid our steamship line for CARRYING
our mails as much as Great Britain has paid
her steamship lines. Congressman Dingley
who is as well informed upon this subject as
anyone that can be found, pronounces this
statement entirely misleading. In a certain
sense it is true, but in the sense it will be
understood by the general reader it is glar-
lngly false. For the year ending July, 1884,
amounts were paid English and American
steamship lines as follows:

Contrary to general expectation, and to the
wishes of the Dominion government we sus-
pect, Rel, the Manitoba rebel has been con-
victed of high treason and sentenced to be
hanged. The defence was insanity, but the
evidence of it was very thin His diary
showed that his mental balance was not very
nicely adjusted, but that his mind was so far
diseased as to relieve him from the response
bility of his acts there was no evidence worth
mentioning. Though the court has sentenced
him to the gallows it is far from certain that
the sentence will be executed. The French
population is likely to make its influence felt
with Sir John Mcdonald.
The naval advisory board has made re-
ply to Secretary Whitney's board of examin-
ers in the matter of the Dolphin, and the lat
ter has put in rejoinder. The sum and
substance of it all is that the advisory board
believes the Dolphin is staunch and strong
while the examining board is of the opinion
that she developed structural weakness.
The advisory board takes the ground that
the designers and not the constructors are
responsible for the speed or lack of speed of
vessel, and that therefore Mr.. John Roach
cannot be held accountable for the failure of
the Dolphin to make fifteen knots an hour.
provided she did fail which the advisory
board declines to admit 1t ispretty evident
that the battle of the boards is destined to
throw very little light on the facts that are
in dispute
