Daily press. POKTLAND. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14,1871. The Ifiiiuuue Spirit of Morderu Cieilau tion. B< ore the last half of this century was the spectacle of the whole world rushing to res cue, lo comfort and to restate a ruined city, ever seen Iu 1866 we of Portland saw it. In 1S67 Chicago sees it. From present ap peal ances the calamity is itremediable only to far as it involved a loss of life and the physical and mental anguish attending the progress of the catastrophe. As for the tueio pecuniary loss the country at large has -^•taciily agreed to share it. It will fall heavi ly on Chicago and also on Boston,New Yoik Cincinnati, St. Louis, San Francisco and a hundred other cities. Here is “solidarity” —the genuine thing. Here is practical com munion. The tens of thousands of people wh are camping among the ruins or out on the prairie, and who will to-day cat a diuuer co< ked iu New York, a breakfast prepared in Cincinnati and a supper that was sent from St... Louts—whose fuel and clothing came from remote parts of the country—will have the best of reasons tor believing that the “brotherhood of mail” is not a myth. For tb liniment the situation is almost millennial, an d there exists that ideal state of affairs, which we have been accustomed to peer for far iuto the tuture, when the whole world is a mutual insurance company, aud each man insures every other man from loss or harm. no fully does the truth of the ideuity of all human interests possess the minds «f men th at the petty jealousies and animosities of prosperous times have instantly disap peared. Does not every reader of news papers remember the curious wrangles to which the rivalry between Cin cinatti, Chicago and St. Louis gave rise I But a d came to the distressed city from its rivals v idle the smoke of its torment was yet rising. S'i 1 more curious was the maguauimity of the New York Tribune which lias habitually spoken of the Chicago paper of the same came as “that sheet which in Chicago dis {races the. name of Tribune." The latter having lost everything iu the fire, its New York assailant, forgetting all about free trade uud protection,promptly offered it material with which to resume publication from the ample stores which it has long kept in reserve for a like emergency. And there are other pleasant matters dis closed by the Ch.eago fire. Those things 1 hat have been regarded as an indication of the liaid materialistic spirit of the age—as I lit* badges of its grasping, heartless, .money getting tendencies—have proved the swiftest and most efficient instruments in this crisis. "What greater service have rail and telegraph even done than to tell the tale ot Chicago’s w:oes aud carry succor so quickly These aud like agencies will sometime render such catastrophes impossible. They will bring a city’s neigebors in time not only to succor but to save. The French maxim well says that “we look behind us for the golden age, when lo, it is betore!” 1 HE reiegtapn gives us a taint idea of the destruction of life aud property in the North west by fires. lu ordinary times the recital o' tuls story would create wide-spread sympa thy aud command universal attention. Whole counties have been devastated. Vast forests, (arms aud farm buildings by hundreds, whole villages have been swept away, and, it Is feared, hundreds of people have been vic tims to the devouring element. One great fire is in Wisconsin, westward of the North eud of Green Bay. Another is on the neck ol laud in Michigan, between Sagi naw Bay and Lake Huron, and over 200 miles in a direct line from Green Bay. Both of these fires are in extensive lumber districts from which tbe| Lake cities and the prairie towns have received their supplies. Ch'cago will feel these forest fires. That in Miehigau is particularly severe. Village alter village has been swept away, and many lives have been 'ost. A third fire is in Indiana) along the line of the Louisville and Chicago Railroad, and south of Lafayetle. In Clay County, on the Terre Haute Railroad, the woods are all on fire. An extensive prairie fire is also in progress in Miuneso'a. We have been called upon by a distinguish ed leader in the Methodist denomination to make good the assertions in an editorial in yesterday’s paper entitled “Church aud State” so tar as it refers to the Convention held in this city this week by ‘literal quotations” of its proceedings or “retract” our “misrepresen tations.” The eminent source from which this demand comes renders its notice a mat ter of justice. But we do not propose to re- I tiaet but rather to give some quotations Irom several speakers as taken by a very reliable reporter, many of which we were uuable to print in our report for want of space. The policy ol Slate aid to denominational chools ruus through all the addresses touching the educational question. One said: It is the duty of the Stale—laid down in the Constitu tion—to foster Institutions of learniug. Di rectly after the same speaker says “institu tions of learning have no life uuless fostered by denominations.” And again: “The State owes a duty to de nominational schools and ought to loster all schools that produce good citizens.” In another place: “All applications to this State tor aid have been followed by long a„d vigorous contests, other denominations bavin" turned the cold shoulder to us.” Another speaker said: "It State aid is to be the policy, the Methodists can present a more valid claim than any other denomination. She (the Methodist church) only asks simple jus tice.” Again: “The State should assist sectarian schools In co-operation with the church. This is iollowed by a recotntnaudalion for more schools in Aioostook and at other points,” Another said: “The common schools can only partially supply the needs of the State” —the whole dritt 01 the address by reference and assertion entorclng* the idea that it is the duty ol the Slate to endow sectarian schools. Similar remarks might be given to any length, hut these are sufficient t« show that there was the amplest ground for the Infer ence in yesterday’s paper. Political Notes. Hod. A. B. Connell. Chairman of the New York Republican Central Committee tele graphed Col. Forney of Philadelphia on the eve ol election that a considerable number of Tammany’s repeaters had gone to the latter city to aid their friends and that a large num ber of fraudulent naturalization issued by the New York Courts in 1868 had been sent to Philidelphia for use in the election. Tam many is yet active despite its little checks. Tweed is rather rough on Gov. Seymour in tbe following remark to that worthy at the Rochester Convention: “I come here branded as a rascal by the Republican press. Only seven or eight years a.o you came to Albany branded as a traitor to y(,u- country by the samevenai press. Did tbe Demoeraiic Convention propose to ex clnde jou? No. Now, sir. I would ralber be called a theif than a Iraitor to my coun try. We come here as the regular delegates: we demand admission.” 1 he New York Herald says “the result in Pennsylvania has probably knocked into a cocked hat Hancock’s picspects lor the Dem ocratic nomination lor the Presidency. His friends will not insist upon hts running when his own State is likely to “go back” on him.’’ II is announced that the Republicans of New York have arranged lor a perfect union. An jexchange says Mother Greeley, with an affection truly maternal, has kissed and made up with Surveyor Cornell. She is also arrang ing to embrace Collector Murphy—so every thing is to be lovely.

It is represented that the fam ily, though poor, lived happily belore the un explained tragedy. Religion* Rev. Mr. Hardy, formerly of Miltou, has been engaged to preach at the church in Presque Isle for the coming year. Tbe Methodist Episcopal church at Augusta is wiping ofl'a debt of $4000 against it. Ohs B. Rawson, of Paris, was ordained to the Christian ministry as pastor of the Baptist church in Bethel, Oct. 4. •lhe Oxford Baptist quarterly meeting was I held at Bean’s Corner, Bethel, Oct. 3d. There was a good attendance, notwithstanding the dull weather. A good spirit was manifested in the meetings, giving promise ot good re sults among the churches in the coming mouths. Zion’s Herald gays: Methodism is steadily increasing in the western part of York county. We hear excellent reports trom York, Kittery, Kittery Navy Yard, South Elliot aLd Elliot. At Elliot, Rev. G. E. Cobb has been holding meetings since camp-meeting, with glorious results. Some twenty-five or more have be come the subjects of converting grace, and the work is sti*l progressing. The thirtieth anniversary of the settlement of Rev. S. E. Dike as pastor of the Sweden borgian Society ia Bath, was celebrated in a happy manner, at his residence in that city, Tuesday evening. Mr. H. L- Stetson, formerly of Greene, was ordained on the 20th ult. over the Baptist church in Griggsv'lle, III. The Massachusetts Methodist Convention gives place this year to to New England Meth odist Educational Convention, which will be held next month. The failure of the Southwestern Baptist Pub lication H use is reported. In twoyoars it has sunk a capital of $00,000. A new building is erecting in Hartford for the Women’s Christian Association of that city. It is iutended as a home where young women may be provided with wholesome food aud comfortable and pleasant lodgings at such prices as may be within their means. Dr. Cote writes to tbe Religious Herald that the Baptist church in Rome has been prosecu ted before the civil courts, at the instigation of the priests, on the plea that its meetings are immoral and ought to be prohibited. Tbe im morality consists in attacking the errors of the Papacy. The trial is exciting great inter est in the city. The granting of religious liberty in Saxony, Germany, by statute, in 1870, has given rise to iucrcased activity among the Methodist mis sionaries of that couutiy. Before the act of 1870, the State forbade tbo organization of in dependent churches, and forcibly repressed all dissenting bodies of Christians. Tbe new lib erty has enlarged the enterprise of the mission workers. The Lutherans have been overtaken bv the woman movement At a meeting of the Tenth District Conference ot the Synod of Pennsyl vania it was voted: ”1, That it is desirable to re-establish the office of deaconess in our con gregations; 2, That believing and intelligent women should be regularly appointed by the congregations and formally inducted into of fice; and 3, That the Synod should instruct its liturgical committee to prepare a form for the installation of such officers and a general state ment ol the duties to be attended to by them.” The Cate of Blai-y MeCaverty. Some of those who read the report of the ar rest and examination of Mary MeCaverty for attempting to poison her child in this city last June, have expressed surprise that she was not brought to trial and sentence in the Supe rior Court at its next criminal term. The fol lowing remarks ol Judge Goddard at the time her case was disposed of will tend to explain the matter. The Judge said: This womau has been indicted by the Grand Jury lor au attempt to murder her own child iothisciiy, lastJuue.the inlaut being at the time more than three mcuths old. Although I do not understand that she de nies her guilt, yet the Couuty Attorney lias called the attention ol the court to a request addressed to him by the Mayor, the Sheriff, the City Marshal, one of the Deputies aud oth er influential citizens, desiring that this pris oner may he released without puuisbmeut; he further states that the foreman and a very large na.joriiy of the grand jury have expressed a similar wish, aud now the County Attorney desires to carry this suggestion into effect, by entering a nol pros Very rarely will the court exercise the ex traordinary power ol relusiug to permit the ot ticer elected by the citizens ol the couuty to represent the State to discontinue a prosecu tion when in the judgment of the Couuty At torney his duty to the public requires it. The present public prosecutor has the entire confi dence ol the court, and 1 do not propose to make this case au exception. The penalty of the crime fur which the pris oner stands indicted is not less than one nor more than twenty years in the Stale Prison,aud before allowing an entry to be made which will release her without trial or sentence to any penalty whatever, I deem it my duty te mysell aud to the cause of justice aud morality, to make certain suggestions which the remarka ble situation of this case requires. The undisguised aud u neon trad icted facts as stated to the court by the County Attorney are briefly these: This woman, now twenty years of age, alter a period ol voluntary illicit intercourse with a man in New Brunswick, at length experienced the natural result, and leaving her home came to Portland in order to avoid public exposure. In this I think she did wisely, for by so doing she succeeded iu concealiBg from her parents the fact of her pregnancy and the birth of her child. She represents that she was seduced under promise of marriage. If her statement is true it does net relieve her from voluntary participation in his offeDce, lor she does not pretend lhat she w as outraged. The alleged seducer is not withiu the juris diction of Ibis Court, aud great indignation is justly expressed against him. But it we had him before the Court I fear that public indignation would not last long enough to >u-tuin the Judge in passing a very seveie sentence. Experience does not justily much confidence in any vigorous public seutiment against the sednetr or the adulterer; everybody knows ibat even when grand juries leel compelled 10 indict for such offences, traverse juries are ex tremely reluctaut to cunvict, judges are freely criticised for passing severe, sentences aDd ex ecutives are too often over-persuade^ to par don. When this woman’s child had lived three mooths, her parents wrote to her to return to N. P. Iu this dilemma she wrote to an un married sister, younger than herself, whom she hid made a confidant before leaving home, asking her counsel. The sister advised to lose no time in getting rid of her child by poison, atd recommended a solution of copperas, wliereupuu this unnatural mother proceeded to procure, prepare and administer the drug; but the child rejected the nauseous dose so persistently that the womau was unable to lorce enough of the poison down its throat to sill it,although she succeeded in inflicting on it a long and dangerous illness. For the escape of the child from a miserable death, let due recognition be made to merciful Providence; certainly no credit belongs to its mother, who confessedly and deliberately plan ned aud did all in her power to effect its secret mui'ici. iin uuuic was its u u ueuessary a» ll was atrocious; she was under no obligation to return home; her friends had no power to com pel her to leave Portland, Yet, rather than forego or postpone her journey, she deliberate ly resolved to put to death her own child. The maternal instinct was so feeble, so dead, that it did not even suggest to this mother’s mind the invention of some plausible excuse for her fail ure to return when her parents called for her but rather accepted the infamous proposition of poison. Now if this girl had planDeu the murder of one of my children or of the May or’s, for so inadequate a temptation, no voice would have been raised in her behalf. And can it he that it is less a crime for a mother to attempt to poison her first born child, three full moulhs old, to avoid a little temporary in convenience? Id my first charge to the grand jury three years ago, I felt it my duty to speak thus: “The horrible brutality of the act, the ineffa ble meanui-ss of such a crime agaiust a de lenceless infant by her whom mere animal in stinct ought to make its first protector, usually the utter inadequacy of the temptation to child murder, and the overwhelming testimony of medical men to its appalling and rapidly in creasing frequency among us may well call the blush of shame to the cheeks of this genera tion at the degeneracy aud prefl gacy of so many of the mothers of New England.” I confess that I have but little sympathy with such a crime as this mother sought to perpe trale; m.v feeling is rather one of iudiguation at aud abhorrence of that unhealthy and dan germis public seutimeDt which seeks to paliate and excuse it, and invariably interposes an effectual shield against the punishment of such criminals. Sympathy, it would seem is rather due to the innocent hut unpitied off pring of guilt, whose life has been so ruthlessly aud in siduously assailed by its faithless guardian whom public sentiment demands to be set free without punishment, still to remain the custo dian of the unhappy infant’s life and health. If I were not convinced by carelul observa tion and my own judicial experience that any effort on the part of one man by official action to stem this tide of popular feeliDg would be practically unavailing, and productive of more evil thau good, I should not hesitate to take tbe almost extra judicial step of interposing to forbid tbe County Attorney to enter a nol pros. and to proceed to the trial, conviction and sen- i tence of this person. But while in one sen- j fence 1 yield to its demands, I wish to make an emphatic protest against tbe diseased senti ment which has so honeycombed our society, 1 bopiug that thus iu the end something may he gained to the cause oi morals and public jus- i tice by awakenmg public attention. i In my deliberate judgment the law is at present as powerless to protect the life of tbe white infant against the infmticidal propensi ties of its own mother in Maine, as it ever was to protect the African slave from the ven geance of his master in Texas or South Caro- 1 ina, because public sentiment effectually in- sa»sir8 t°ipre',eut the ponishment of the as- 1 valenee would-be assassin.

The first traiu from Augusta since the storm irrived here at four o’clock yesterday after noon. The storm eastward would seem to be heavier than further west. ^Fhe Kennebec Jourual of Friday says: The most copious rain storm of the season began here Wednesday evening and continued witnout intermission lor fifreen heurs. Asa cousequence, a large numl er of railroads’ cul verts have been destroyed, and the Bangor train for Bosiou due here at noon found it im possible lo proceed this side of Kendall’s Mills. Washouts west of us impeded the mail from Boston—indeed impeded all trains—the accom modation train between this city and Gardiner not even making its regular trips. Iu this city and vicinity the streets are very much washed ana gullied and land slides of various degrees ot importance were occurring all day. Quite a number of highway culverts were destroyed. Some fifty feet ol the “railway” north of Stur gis steam mill, ou the east side of the river, was undermined aud dumped into the river yesterday forenoon. The reservoir dam of Hon Warren Johnson, recently built on his land west of the State House, tor the supplying oi the city witli wan r early iu the morning showed signs of weak ness and giving way, owing to the great aud sudden rise oi water in the reservoir pond, hut it held on till half past twelve o'clock, when it suddenly gave way, bearing everything before it. Tlie dam and fixtu.es are a total loss, be ing completely destroyed by the flood. The loss to Mr. Johnson, who has shown muchjeu ergy and spirit in this enterprise in supplying our city with pure water, we regret to say will be quite large. The river was somewhat swolen yesterday moruing, and by evening the wharves were nearly submerged; the water was risiug rapid ly and indications were strong that by this morning tremendous voinine would he pur iug past the city. Parties who had property near the river banks or in the store houses on ♦he wharves, were busily engaged during the afternoon iu removing the same. The water from Mr. Johnson’s resevoir dam, pouring iu a fearful torrent down through Brett’s Guily, so washed the highway at that point that it has since been impassable. The highway near the pottery in Farming dale was rendered impassable. Old as may soaud, travel either by highway or rail, be tween Augusta, Hallowell and Gardiner, was for six hours suspended. Mr. Philbrook of this city, who was in Gardiner yesterday fore neon, was obliged to (return via |Pittston and Chelsea. A gentleman riding to this city from Water viile, yesterday, says that a large majority of ihe culverts were incapable of carrying oft the watet fast enough, and consequently the road was submerged in many places. The aain seemed to fall iu torrents. The dams ou Bond brook were severely test ed, and the property connected with them greatly endangered. The water flanked boih end9 of Mr. Eaton's dam, and also the dam above it, we understand. Wyman’s works were regarded atone time as also being in im minent danger, but the break at the Eaton dam being overcome by sitenuous exertions, no serious damage occurred. The volume of water in the stream was so swolen that it al most filled the arch of the stone bridge, Water street. The morning train from Bangor moved from Kendall’s Mills to Waterviile, where it passed the balance of the day. and last night. The morning train from Skowhegau got to Somerset Mills, where it stiil remains. There are large washouts at Somerset Mills and be tween Waterviile and Kendall’s Mills. Cul verts are destroyed at Iteaddfield, vYinhiop aed Auburn; there are some small washouts near Vassalboro; there is sn extensive washout about halt a mile north of this city, tuat stop ped the moruing freight train from Bangor, aud where it remained imprisoned all day. There are two washouts between Carmel and Etna, aud the one o’clock train lrom Bangor was imprisoned at, the latter place; there is al so a washout at Clinton; besides the washout at Farmingdale there is also one near Gardin er. The bridge ou Little river is gone; a a um her of washouts also ou the Fargiyngton road. There are three or four washouts between Brunswick aud Portlaud. The quantity of rain that'iell was immense,one gentleman pronouncing the amount to be (510 inch*!. Prohibition Not a Faii.ube.—Tlie Lewis ton Journal in an article in which it justly de precates.the hasty conclusions of Justin Mc Carthy as to the alleged failure of prohibition iu Maine says very truly and forcibly: With all the looseness with which prohibi tion has been enforced in many parts of the State, every candid observer of the progress of the temperance cause in Maine during the past quarter of a century, can but admit that the law hasdODe immense (food. It is now twenty five years since the policy of this State was changed from license to prohibition; and let any mau of fifty years call back in memory tbe state of things with respect to the sale and use of liquor previous to that time, and compare it with the present condition, and he will be sur prised himself .to note the change for the bet ter. Phohibitiou lias done wonders, notwith standing the opposition which it has encoun tered, and notwithstanding the sliameluUy in efficient manner In which it has been exe cuted. While we strite to make its execution more faithful, let us not become impatient and turn against a principle which has accomplished so much, because it is not doing all we expected. Prohibitory laws, like all other human enact ments, are only at the best a partial remedy for the evils they are aimed at. Because the crime of murder prevails now as in the past, shall we conclude that our laws against murder of no use? Neither should we despair because prohi btsion does not utterly extirpate grog-shops, for the rum-seller, as well as the murderer, will always be found to a greater or less extent so loug as humau nature is what it is. But, as without tbe law against murder, there would beseoresof murders where now there is one; so without the law prohibiting grog simps, en forced as it was in Lewiston, previous to last Spring, there would be a vast increase of dram selling and all na lameutable eonsequenees.— We repeat, tbeiefore, that our experience with prohibition here in Maine, has proved beyond successful question its potency as an auxiliary in the promotion of the temperance telorm. In the Episcopal General Convention at Bal timore, on Monday, Mr. G. E. B, Jackson, of Maine, ofiered tbe following: Eesolved, That the offerings of the Congrega tioo at the service this evening (9th inst.,) be asked in aid of the sufferers by the fire iu Chi cago, and that the Secretary ba directed to transmit the same in the name ot the conven tion to the Mayor ot Chicago, to be applied un der bis direction to the aid of those rendered homeless ani houseless hy the gieat calamity.

Baltimore American. The most careful estimate possible yesterday gives the loss of the insurance companies out side of Chicago at $32,060,000, of which $12, 730,000 is owing from New York. Tbe total losses can be estimated only very vaguely_ $114,000,000 seems to he the closest calculation of the insurance men. state evts. CUMBERLAND COUNTY. The Bridgton News says the cattle show and fair at Naples was a fine success and went to prove that in this respect Naples has shown herself to be a smart and plucky little town. The News says a fire broke out one night this week iu Messrs. Perley and Plummer’s sash and blind manufactory at Bridgton which, but for its timely discovery, would have doubt less done serious damage. KENNEBEC COUNTY. The programme for the reception of Presi dent Grant in Augusta Dext Tuesday has not yet been definitely agreed upon, so far only ihe general outlines having been discussed by the city and Slate authorities, tvbo ate to take charge of the matter in concert. The Presi dent is expected to reach the city at 3 o’clock, p. in., by special train from Boston. A nation al salute will be fired from the U. S.

The President will lie weloomed to the State by Ihe governor and and introduced to the officials, by whom such citizens as de sire it will be presented to him.

Many an athletic man, whose family depends for its support on hi industry, row lies prostrate, weik and helple>8 as a babe, under the periodical ass-aults ot chills and fever, or bilious remittent fever. This could not be it all were wise enough to provide against such a contingency, by toning and fortifying the system with Hostetler's Stomach Bitters. This approved vegetable tonic is absolutely harmless, so that it is sheer tolly not to take it as a safeguard it a season when diseases of the liver, the stomach, the bowels, and indeed all the viscera! organs are gener ally prevalent. To keep the system in order and iu sure health, or to put it in order when this precau tion has been neglected, is the duty of every human being who values life. For both these purposes Hos tetter’s Stomach Bitters is designed, and it answers both. Petty local dealers are endeavoring, in many parts of the country, to substitute preparations made ot im{) ire and dangerous materials iu its stead. Give them a wide berih They are prepared by un skilful experimenters, who want to turn a penny at the expense of the public health. OK E. F.OAKYIN'S Tar Remedien, -FOR Cougrhs, Colds and Luu?
