ssAiLY PKESS. 1*0 BTLAN W TUESDAY, OCTOBER IV, ISil. j It will be a pleasant thing 1nr the people ot IV,aland to greet personally once Chief M »gistrate toward whom tbeir feeling ot hoDor and gratitude are to warm and sin ce, e as they ate toward President Grant. It ,V ,u entirely natural and proper ihmg for them to wish to pay their respects to hint. Dul we ate glad, ungracious as it may ap „,ar, that the programme tor his reception in ibis city seems to involve hutlittle expense. W e have no hesitation in saying that the peo ple ofMaine are too poor to expend alarge sum in receiving so great a man as eveu the chief executive officer of the Republic. The time lias passed, thank heaven, when the delusion prevails that men can best serve God by starv ing Hie millions for the, sake ot honoring princes. A more rational attitude toward mlers and other great men is now preserved, it is not thought best that all the John Mnilhs in the world should he naked, cold and Starved in older that all the Heliogaba iuses in the Roman Empire may have soup of peacock's brains, and game and fruit out o season. It is not thought right that all the workingmen in the country should live in mud hovels and eat black bread in order that Louis Fourteenths may build Versailles and move about will Orieutal ostentation and magnificence, or that Charles Seconds may keep plenty ot misti esses and have luxurious surroundiugs. The most startling divergen ces Irorn the modern, rational doctrine in re gurd to the duty of the masses toward public men occur in this very matter ol “inceptions' and ‘'ovations” ot ditterent kinds. Thete is sufficient ground lor objecting to expense on I such occasions in the lacl ot their usual in utility and absurdity. The time has come when all sensible men—and Gen. Grant is foiemost among them—hate all empty, putr iJe uibplayff, and avoid them tvIioucvei ll lo possible. If we may lell the truth without giving ofleuce, such occasions are commonly merely the devises of unpaid or underpaid municipal offi.ers lor jimketing at the public expense and eating, drinking, traveling and becoming couspicious at the public charge. Hut the most serious objection is the one to which we have alieady adverted, and to which Gen. Grant so fittingly alluded when he sent tnal dispatch lo his Huston lrieuus pro posing that tire money appiopnated for his recepuoQ should he given 10 me sufferers by the Chicago tire. It is shameful to squandet in buyrsfi, unedily iug displays what would he sadly need, d lor tht leliel of poverty and sul leriug even it there were no exliaordmary de maun for char ily created by the conflagrations in the Weal. We believe that the time has now come when most people concede, what the ITtitss was almost alone iu declaring at the time, ibai it was a crime as well as a biun del aud a farce to throw away leu thousand dollars iu receiving the remains of a deau philanthropist to our shores. It was as gross a piece of mapproprateness as Queen Victo ria was guilty of iu piesentiug him with an expensive portrait, aud the afistociacy oi England iu electing a statue to his memory, iusiead oi emulating his example. It is a matter ior rejoicing, therefore, that only a small sum will be taken from the tax payers ou the present occasion, and that there aie evidences ot ilie pievelauce ol soundei uolions than formerly. We Oelieve we are right in supposing that all such appropria tions of public money aie of doubtful legality, and it is well luat they should be reduced to a minimum. We believe iu Gen. Grant— There is uo political object to the attainment which we look forward with more hopeful ness aud pleasure than to his re-nomination aud triumphant re-electiou. But we believe that Portland has chosen a way of honoring him that he himself would choose, and that is much more creditable to him and to us than stuffing him and his party. The Bowdoiu semens who are just now ‘•suspended” for bad conduct will, we trust, be restored on as easy terms as aie commonly offered in such cases. Probably Gen. Cham berlain aud tne other college authorities un der the new regime do not believe in the di vine right oi students to he rowdies and 1> ackguards. Undergraduat»e iisoa imig been indulged hi the notion that they are subject, to an easier code of manners and morals than other men. Chief Justice Chase does Dot advise the Democrats to abandon their organization and support a conservative Republican. He thinks it neither practicable nor necessary. He coun sels ibe nomination of a moderate man— Chase, for instance—in the hope that the Re publicans will support him.

The European and North American Rail road, wh eh is to be opened with due interna tiooal rites oh Wednesday, is an enterprise the importance of which well deserves its some what ambitious name. When that(name was given, to be sure, its purpose was primarily to furn sb the longest possible land route be tween America and Europe, and to supply transportation by rail across the Gut of Causo to Cape Breton Island and, after the interposi tion ot a few mi es of water, across Newfound land. Now the primary purpose is to connect St. John and Halifax and the other cities and tow os ot the maritime provinces with the United States. Undoubtedly the wider plan of tbe late John A. Poor and other original projectors of the enterprise wi1! ultimately be carried out, and meanwhile many hundreds ot travellers between Europe and America will save themselves from twelve to twenty-tour h.»urs ot wat^r transit by going by rail to Halifax and thence to Europe, instead of starting from New York. Until the completion next year ot that part o< the Intercolonial Roar! lirirwr tween Amherst and Truro, Nova Scotia, a gap of about seventy five miles, Si. John or Sbedi ac, on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, will he the rail terminus far the traveller. But next year this bia us in the great international work will be filled, and whoever wishes may go from Bangor to Halifax, about 480 miles, di rect. “The Atlantic Ferry,” as the enthusias tic originators of the route called it, will ulti mately be no very serious misnomer, after all. Already there is a project for a road from Hal- i ifax to the port of White Haven, at the East ern extremity ci Nova Scotia, that will short en the water route between America and Eu rope more than another hundred miles. I THE GENEROSITY OF THE STATE. It is only five years since the work on the Maine division of the European and North Ame'-icanjrtadfwas actually begun. The en terprise would undoubtedly have lagged much more than it has if the Stato of Maine as well a« the Provinces has not granted heavy subsi dies. To the provinces the aid has been on a much larger scale than here,but Maine has de puted from her customary policy of refusing railroad subsidies to an extent that can only oe justified by the great importance and the in ternational Character of the work. There seems to be a disposition in some quarters to underrate the aid.givea by the State. We hope that this disposition will uot.be indulged aud that the corporation, which has our best wishes for its prosperity, will be held to a strict fulfillment of all the obligations to ;tbe public it assumed as a part consideration for the gen erosity wiili which it has been treated. It has received the entire teamant; of our public lands, and an assignment of claims against the general government approximating to a mill ion dollars. Such unwonted generosity should be duly appreciated, and the contract to take measures to promote settlements along the hue of the road should he uugrudgiogly fulfilled. This will be the more easiiy done, Since villages and embryo cities are spontane ously.springing up in the wilderness through Kinkman is as wonderful a gro* un iVa e”r1 Way’ aS tl’e ,own9 tllat nues o.V.vei I* 7" We,terD aV<" d,ci,d tor Vauoeboro oa th'I,afrnt other towns on the line "“tier, and for The following is a concise H18TORF OF THE Hoat» The European and Ninth American u was per se his ns origin in tfo.

John A Poor, recently detmas* ed.aod v.asattenoed by many distipgnishJrf gentlemen interested in obtaining a route which would shorten the oceau travel between this country and Europe. Among these were b. 8. Moore, the present GoVerror Wilmotdof New Brunswick, Geo. F. Stiep ■v Noali Smith, Elijah L. Hamlin, Governor oi’in Huhbard (who piesided,) and many oth- rs. At this convention the uame was adopt d which has beeu preserved ever since, and hoitly alter, in August of the same year, a hirter was obtaiued Irom the State of Maine or a company to build from Waterville, then a eruduusof a branch ot the Atlantic aud St. Lawrence road, to the liouudary line of New liuuswick, to connect with the portion to be tailt iu the provinces, which it was proposed 0 ruu to Halitax. Charters were immedia cy granted ny the governments ot Nova Sco ia and New Brunswick, which granted facili 't“_J to the corporators, and iu the latter part of 850 end in 1851. Mr. A. C. Morton of New 1 oik (who died during the past summer)made t survey ot the whole route for the State ol Maine and atiits expense. Then, in 1852, the companies i» New Bruns wick and Nova Scotia, together with the prov inces, made a contract with Jackson, Peto, Betts Co., of England, to build their por tions oi the road, and the fiist sod was turned in St. John in 1853, Robert Jardine being the President of the New Brunswick Company. They continued work until 1855,but maoe little progress, and during the financial difficulties oi that year, caused by the Crimean war, tney suspended entirely. Two years aher the government of New Bi uuswick took up the portion between St. John to Sbediac, as a government work, and completed it iu I860, Mr. Jardine then being ihe commissioner, the original Dame being preserved (or this portion. During the same ptriod the Nova Scotia government built the portion between Halifax aud Truro, on the same basis, calling it the Nova Scotia railway, these two portions are now owned by the Do minion of Canada, aud the portion between Monckton and Truro is now being constructed by the Canadian government to connect there two portions. When this is done the gap of 75 miles now lemaming will he filled, aLd a con liuuous line Irom Bangor to Halifax will be an accomplished fact, the entire length irom Ban gor to Halifax being 478 miles. While this work was done in the provinces the Kennebec and Penobscot road was built from Waterville to Bangor. Thus from 1855 to 18115 active operations on >be European aud Noitli American railway as a whole were almost entirely dropped, but the work bad gradua ly progressed by piecemeal, as it were. Iu November of the latter year Mr. E. R. Burpee ot St John, imbued with tbe importance of tbe matter, came to Bangor aud had a conference with Jonn A. Poor and others, aud succeeded in bringiug it out Irom its cotnparativeoblivion and quiescence. Dur iog the same tall Mr. Poor succeeded in buy ing tbe charter of tbe Penobscot Valley rail road, which covered tbe route from Bangor ti Oidtowu, 12 miles, auu which owned tbe grad cd road to Urouo, above spoken nt 1.. a. icii.w.nff aptp charter was obtain ed Irom New Brunswick to build a road to tht boundary of Maine, to connect with the roat to be built by the Maine company, of wbicl Poor was then Presicent, and that govern ■•-‘•nt also granted a subsidy of $10,000 pei mile. 1.. May, 1804, Mr. Burpee made a survey am location at the expense of the Government o New Brunswick, aud organized a company vi iih Mr. Parks ol St John as President, oh tamed subsetiptious from private individual; to lue amount ot #200.000, and from the Gov erument ot tbat province of $300,000 more. In June, 1865,a contract was made betweei I these two companies, whereby the Maiue com pany was to take the facilities of tbe Ns* Brunswick company, and build its road, a welt as that on thin side the boundary. Tb AlaiDe company shortly alter let tbe buildin ot the whole road, from Bangor to St. John, t Pierce Blaisdell of Boston. Very little progress was made for a year o two, but in 1867 ac»ive operations were com uieuced on both ends of the route. Pierced Blaisdell sold out their contract to the Intel national Construction and Transporlatioi Company, and in June 17, tbat year, Mr. Bur pee took the contract tor building 30 miles c the road,from St John to Vanceboio.’ Thi wa-* fiuisbed and opened on tbe 1st of Decern Per, 1869. Mr. Parks, who was President cj that company up to this time, left for L>ver pool in January, on the City of Boston, am was among bcr unknown victims, and Aler Jardiue, brother of the first President, wa chosen to tbe place. In tbe Maine coinpan there was also a change, Mr. G. K. Jewett c Bangor being elected to the Presidency i place of MfTPoor. the father of the road, wh theu ceased active connection with it. Th road was built from Bangor to Mattawamkeai during the same time, and opened to travt thus tar, 58 miles, in November, 1869. Tbe country from thence to Vauceboro’, o the bolder, presenting some difficulties, wor was delayed upon it until 1870, on accouut ihe difficulties of finding a good location, whe »he eoutract was let lor these 56 miles t Brooks, Gordon By an, ot Brock ville, Cai ada. The first train passed over the entire roa from Bangor to St. John on Tuesday of lat week. GEN. GRANT AND LORD LISGAR. Gen.

TWOMBLl, Agent. Dear Sir t Official telegrams have been received from the Fireman’s Fund Ins. Co., ot Han Francisco, Oal., informing us that the Company is ALL MIGHT, and will pay all losses promptly. “Go ahead and crowd business. California Gold backs you to the amount of Millions." The Individual Liability ot Stockholders is a feature In California Insurance Companies which now demonstrates the wisdom of the law-makers ot that State. Skeels, Bowkks Boughton, Managers. TI1K IMPERIAL AND LORILLARD Insurance Companies, Are All Right and Sound as a Nut. The Imperial withdrew from the State of Illinois two years since. The surplus of the other two companies more than pay their Losses in Chicago. L. S. T WOMBLY, Agent, 30 Exchange st. o F F I C K OF T II F Norwich Fire Insurance Comp’y, Norwich, Conn., Oct. 13th, 1871. From the information which we now have, as to our liability for the recent fire in Chicago, this Company expects to pay all their losses as heretofore. This information, however, is somewhat indefinite, and we therefore prefer not to write or renew any risk until further ad vised. You will return no premium on cancelled policies. I therefore advise all persons holding policies in the Norwich to change their insurance to some other Company. The Companies named above afford undoubted security. L. S.
