We would invite the attention of law students and yaung practitioners throughout the State to the great benefits and advantages afforded by the public law lectures that will be delivered in this city during the coming fall and winter, by some of our most eminent iurists.

 These lectures will be delivered three times a week, alternately by Judge Caldwell, who will lecture on Headings and Practice; Judge Ea- kin, who will lecture on the Ele mcntary principles of Common Law and Equity; ann Judge Williams, who will lecture on the Law of Xvi dence. All these gentlemen are enineut in their profession, and will bestow especial pains in the prepa- ration of their lectures.

 This school will afford a splendid opportunity to law students and young practitioners who may wish to avail themselves of the means of acquiring a thorough knowledge of the elementary principles of law.

 The cost of attending these lee lures will be merely nominal-sim- ply the expenses of lighting and warming the room. Those coming from abroad can procure board at very moderate prices.

 We would earnestly urge upon all young men who expect to make the practice of law profession, if they can possibly raise the small means necessary to come here and attend these lectures. It will enable them to lay a foundation which will great ly expedite their future studies and prepare them for an honorable and successful practice.

 The text books used are the Ar kansas Code, Blackstone's Common taries, Stephens Pleading, Green leaf on Evidence, and Bispham' s Equity.

The Lewiston Greenback convention was


made up Of all the elements Of discomfort. A


few men in 1t had a quarrel with the consti-


tuition of society itself, and held it to be well


to do away with our present laws and GUS


toms and to make fresh start all round.


But they had absolutely no influence with


the majority of the convention and took


good care not to air their theories-for many


of the men about them had considerable


property interests and were incapable of the


slightest sympathy with the Democratic


socialism which has been brought into this


country with other bad and foreign ideas by


European refugees. A larger number while


giving no conscious support to the dangerous


vagaries of communism did believe that in
addition to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness every American is born with the
right to be rich, and that the times are sadly
out of joint when poverty can exist in the
land. They felt that the unequal distribu-
ton of property was an injustice which
should and could be remedied, and as law
abiding citizens they looked to law, not to
violence for the remedy. But the larger part
of the convention was made up of shrewd,
hard-headed men who have no disposition to
| quarrel with the nature of things and enter
tain no impractical theories in regard to the
equal distribution of wealth, but who believe
they have real grievance. They, like all the
rest of us, feel the burden of hard times, but
are mistaken as to the cause and remedy.

tress and industrial stagnation. They have


not learned that in the departure from not


the coming back to, specie basis for our
currency is the origin of our woes. Mised


by dishonest and designing men they seek to


make debt-credit they call 1.-THE basis oi
capital. They wish to give local habitation
and name to one of the most extravagant
fancies of the great French satirist who four
hundred years ago proposed Common


wealth. in which all men should be debtors
| and borrowers. These people shaped the
sentiment Of the convention. There were it is


true not few noisy demagogues seeking only
the advancement of their own fortunes, who
pushed themselves to the front and claimed
the places of honor; but they were cunning
enough to defer to the general sentiment.


The average of opinion found its express

This gentleman will be in Portland on Sat-
urday from Canada, and at the request of
temperance men here, he will be at the City
Hall on Sunday night. The cause of tenn
perance owes to him very much of the ad-
vanced position it holds in the regards of
English speaking people the world over. At
a very early age DR.. Lees became convinced
that alcoholic liquors in whatever quantity
taken by persons in health, and under what
ever circumstances, were always mischief
and never a good. For many years this
theory was not accepted by the faculty and
was ridiculed by most of the members of it,
Now it is accepted without qualification by
many of the most eminent physiologists in
Great Britain.


But DR.. Lees may well receive hearty
and hospitable reception from all loyal Ameri-
cans, from the fact that it was largely due to
him that the masses Of the English working
men were true to the North during the re-
bellion. the Southern Aid Society under
the presidency of Lord Wharncliffe, arranged
for monster mass meetings of the people all
over the kingdom where they were har-
angued by able hired speakers in favor of the
rebels, but DR.. Lees attended these meet
ings elsewhere, and carried them enthusias-
tically against their promoters and in favor of
the North, so that after several unsuccessful
attempts of this sort, the Southern Aid Soci-
ETY. abandoned the project and the great mass
of the working class and the middle classes. of
the country were warm and staunch friends
of the North. 1t was believed at the time, as
it is now, that this attitude of the great mass
of the English peorle restrained the govern
ment from executing their purpose of recog-
nizing the Rebel government as the French
government solicited it to do.


The Portland people therefore, without re-
gard to the temperance question may well
extend to DR.. Lees hearty welcome and a
grateful recognition of his services to our
country in the hour ofits greatest need.

A LETTER from Gen. Sherman containing
the following significant sentiments was read
at the reunion of the Ninth Army Corps in
Springfield Tuesday:


l approve highly these army meetings and
banquets for there is real danger that the
silence of our soldierly masses may again as in
1861, be misconstrued. The men who filled the
ranks of our Northern armies were of the most
industrious class, who now again are so i'm
mersed in their business matters as not to hear
and heed the violent harangues of another
kind. Therefore l hope you will have at Spring
field a full representation of the old Ninth
corps, and that you will speak right out and to
the point, that the enemies of our country may
not ag ain commit the fatal error Of rushing
into civil war.

Without delay the cautious farmer seized

ed in great disorder, screaming and yelling.
The farmer drove ON very csmplaeently,
