PATTY PRESS* PORTLAND* foi __...- to FRIDAY, NOVEMBER VI, 18T1. of Grnni sad Viclovy. 01 If the Republican* only would throw Grant a aside the Democials would not be utterly p hopeless. Graut can he re elected. The jj blindest political mole sees that. And it is morally certain that the patty from the prin- 4 ciples of which he has never swerved will r, make him its standard-bearer a second time 0 rather than take a man whom they can prob- ably elect, but who would ini roduce the ele- m»nt of uncertainty into the canvass. It seems likely that the Republican ascenden- cy is now so complete that even Horace Greeley might be elected —aud a very good President hi would make, too, if it were not for his extravagance on the subject of pro tection. But Graut, with equal honesty of purpose and greater experience, will make a better one. A Grant in hand is a good deal better than the tamest Greeley in the most accessible bush. Colfax, if nominated, would be almost ceitipu to succeed. But, accord ing to Colfax’s own declaration, Gen. Grant is a better President, than Colfax would make aud is already virtually re elected by tlie peo ple who have disclosed their opinions by vot ing the Republican ticket at the October and November elections. In re-nonunatiug Grant, the Republicans will do the thing which more than any other the Democracy dread, Opposition to the re nomination of Grant by the Republicans is the oue thing on which the Democratic press is now united. Is it patriotism or self-inter est that accounts for this unanimity If they believed, as they affect to, that he cannot in any event he elected, would they take such trouble to compel his withdrawal in favor of a better man who can be If Graut were to be abandoned, the opposi tion party would uqt tiud it difficult to make combinations that would leauimate their forces, if nothing more. Now their demoral ization, as they see the Republican cohorts closing in upon them as surely aud remorse lessly as the Union army closed in upon Lee at Petersburg, is apparent in a hundred ways. It is apparent iu nothing more clearly than in the numberless plans that are proposed (or getting out of the Slough of Despond into whjfffi they have fallen. Here are a few of the propositions: To stand by the old white flag of the Bour bons. Most ol our Maine Democratic jour nals faver this course. To take a frssh “new departure”uext ar, and try to make it more general. We should think the Maine Standard and the “Young Democracy” ot Portland might properly be assigned to this class. To nominate a very clean, unobjectionable Democrat, if oue can be found, hoping to at tract disaffected Republicans. To give up tryiug to elect a Democrat, and make a desperate bid (or Republican support by nominating a very conservative man, nom. inally belonging to the latter party. This seems to be the favorite method with tlie leading Democratic papers ol the country. To make no nomination at all, hoping that the Republicans may leel strong enough to quarrel aud divide, thus giving the De mocracy an opportunity to form an alliance with the least liberal whig. But the Republicans need fear the effect of none of these quack remedies, so long as ‘‘Grant and vicloiy’’is their watchword. A Few Bette, rations. It will not do for our friends to presume too much on our “unconditional surrender.”_ Falsehood is not by any means one of tlio sins to which we have owned. Is it Hon. F O. J. Smith that writes thus in the course of a closely-printed two-column article in the Argus To misrepresent deliberately may be a merit in the esteem of some men aiming onlv at sensationals. But to misrepresent foolish ly, against the common knowledge of all around, is the vilest aud basest of all repre sentations, and most devoid of all excuse. What else was i‘, aud which was it, when tue same editorial says: “The old man, who has complained bitter ly in bis later years of the pebbles and snow balls of mischievous urchins, &c.” Who ever heard of, or saw such depravity as is so charged upon the urchins of Poit'and? _ It will be difficult to make any citizen of Portland believe in such a slanderous stue ment respecling both the dead and living.— fI housands can recall their own observations of the perfect and marked security, devoid of alllear and suspicion ot barm, with which Mr. Morgan bore his aged limbs and person through our streets from early dawn to the long hours of night, at all seasons of the year and for many sueeessive years. There is scarcely a citizen ol any grade of character or sensibility, unless it he the editor alluded to, who,on witnessing an offence committed upon Mr. Morgan, ol the character charged, would not have pursued the offender with condign punishment, and with the first impulse of hanging him to the nearest lamp post I “Misrepresent foolishly!” What does the man mean ?—has he taken leave ot his senses Does not be, as well as everybody else, re member distinctly Mr. Morgan’s own letters' written to the papers not long ago in which he complained piteously of the annoyances to which we have referred? One may easily satisfy himself on this point by visiting Mr Morgan’s late abode, aud counting the num ber of unbrokeD panes. It was not long since that an inroad was made on the very room where Mr. Morgan lived, a Window broken, and sticks, stones aud dirt thrown into the old man’s bed. If, therefore, any special ig nominy attaches to “foolish misrepresenta tion,” the correspondent of the Argus mast be in a most ;unenviable position, especially as he speaks as follows in the course of the f same article from which we have quoted: 1 I am, however, yet to learn, why it was that our aged and impoverished fellow-citizen was not in his life-time visited by any ot the the fruits ot the (Masonic) Fraternity, and most especially, why it was, that at his death he was not honored by any of the funeral re- spects of the Older? i Was it because he had for years been seeu to be treated wiib neglect by the, mutual ad- miration classes of good society in this city, 1 to whom his own nobility,'derived from na ture’s God alone, would never permit him to 1 pay obsequious liomaee from any motive of 1 fear, favor, or affection (i Such a conclusion would be at war with the r acknowledged attributes of tha Masouic in- i ueuee mis neglect ot a truly r historic man in his poverty by such plighted associates needs explanation, and the public have a right to expect it iroin some source 1 authorized to speak. 1 The very last time we ever had any con- ▼ersation with Jonathan Morgan, he volun a tarily bore emphatic testimony to the gener- E osity with which lie had been treated by liis 1 brethren of the Masonic fraterity. Embitter- 1 ed as he was against all the world beside, and acknowledging on that occasion his v indebtedness to no one else, he j expressed himself warmly on the t, subject of Masonic benevolence. Mr. Smith, of all men in the world, has the s. least reason to reproach himself on account d of anything that Mr. Morgan wanted or suf- f< fered. He, at least, exercised practical benev. 1 olence toward him. Why need lie “foolishly,” ‘I it seems to us—misrepresent others?

Oj,?_ e* ward; A freight traiD, with a passenger car se icbed. and together known as a “mixed in,” leaves Portland every morning at the T ivenieut and agreeable hour of six o’clock Bath, Augusta and the intermediate b vns, moving at the very satisfactory speed some 12 miles per hour. This is all the ll liu by which a Portland merchant, ship- liter, or manufacturer having business at ahum, Lewiston, Winthrop, lteadfield, irmington, Waterville. Skowhegan, Bangor, e exter. Belfast, llockland, Waldoboro, Ac., c which it is important that he should be t lie to transact upon that day,so that lie may i ■turn home at night, can leave home before ue o’clock P. M. And this tram takes him no one of the places above named, or to 1 ery many other important towns on the line f the Maine Central road. It is enough for ’ortland if hei people can only go to Augus a in the forenoon by a train which is some ix hours upon the road! As to reaching Lew ston and Auburn, with their 25.000 ii.l.abi ants and only 35 miles dislant, what need is here of that before three o’clock P. M.! Do rains from Boston arrive there before that ime? And what right has Portland to reich Lewiston before Boston ,\Vhat right lias the I’ekss. or the Argus to be distributed in Lewiston, Readfield, Waterville, Skowhegan, Dexter, Bangor, Ac., in anticipation of the Boston Advertiser or the Boston I3ostt IVhat sense is there in enabling these papers if our own State to enjoy the advantages ivhich the laws of geography give them? IVbat right has a Portland man to complain hat it takes him parts of two days to go to Lewiston aud return, so loug as a Boston nan cannot make the round trip quicker Lb an he caD Your correspondent answers that it is im practicable to ruu a passenger train fiom Portland in the morning to Bangor— 13S miles—and return the same day. Let us see. A tram leaving Portland at 7 A. M., making the same time, or about the same, that is made upon the 1 o’clock train, would reach Bangor at 1 P. M.,—a train leaving Bangor at 4 P. M. could easily reach Portland at 10 convenient to Portland, Bangor, and the in termediate towns, and could not fail, after becoming "‘fixed fiacts,” and well understood, Lo he profitable. The morr.iDg train from Portland would take passengers lo Lewiston Wiotlirop, Waterville, &c., as welt as to the farther east, aud would enable people re siding in Waterville, Newport, Dexter, &c., to go to Bangor at 1 o’clock P. M. and lo le turn-at 4. Thus hetweeu Portland,.and Lew iston on the one end, and Bangor audjWater ville, on the other, there would grow up very certainly, a large local or way business. The afternoon train from Bangor would bring out to the towns within 50 miles, the many passengers who went to Bangor by the local, early morning train, as well as those who went by the train that left Portland at 7 o’clock in the morn ing and Waterville at about 11 o’clock. It would, also, in addition to passengers to Port land from Baugor and the intermediate places, take passengers Irom all the towns this side ol Waterville for Boston by the Pull man train the same night. This would give Lewistou the benefit of the Pullman train. It might be lound convenient to at tach a Pullman car to this train at Lewiston. If thD should bo done, as the car would be detained in Portland for two or three hours until the arrival of the night train via Au gusta, it would be a convenient car for Port land passengers, who could euter it at 10 P. M. instead of being obliged, as they now are to leave their homes alter midnight, a most inconvenient hour to go to or return from ears, although your pe—Q—liar correspond ent seems to think it a good enough hour for Portland passengers. The same car, returned to Lewiston, might be attached to the morn ing train. So, the bugbear of impracticabil ity disappears upon examination. Certainly, it is a poor compliment to Portland to say that, she is not of sufficient importance to need or require "ordinary railroad trains con necting her with the surrounding country until one o’clock in the afternoon. When the people of Portland are told by the Maine Central road that a mixed train at, C o’clock to Augusta aud Bath, is all that they need aud all that they shall have, and when they quietly «=ent to this they need not be surprised if people elsewhete put the same estimate upon their city and its prospects that they do themselves. 2d. Inward: Tour correspondent, as if in part admitting that there would be some ground of complaint as to outward trams, if they were of any value to the city, says it is more important to inquire “whether the road gives suitable opportunity for getting into Portlaud.” Here Us treads upon ground where he is strong, and he announces with an air of triumph that the people of Augusta Bath anil Lewiston, and the towns this side of them can now reach Portland before nine o’clock iu the morning I But of all the rest of the people, north and east of us, of those re siding iu Rockland, Belfast, Bangor, Waler ville, ifcc., what of these? Either they do not wish to come to Portland, or they ought not .o come to Portland, or Portland does uot de lire that they Bhould come. At any rate Maine railroads should not concern them ielves to facilitate communication between I Maine towns. Not only is the statement made in my for ner communication, admitted—it is justified. Portland therefore knows what she may ex jeet from this road so far as the running of rains upon it are concerned. Will your cor espondent now inform her what are the lassenger fares between the several stations in that line and Boston and Portland, re pectively; also what is the freight tariff be ween such stations and there cities. _O.

Dennett, Ferna'd’a Island containing oout 00 acres, for #5,.500, aud on this island the avy yard was built. In 1813 Commodore laac Hull was appointed as Commandant of ie Yard, and under his direction the ship Washington was built. Commodore Thomas acdonough succeeded to the command of tbs ard the following year, and Commodore Chas. [orris relieved him in 1817. In 1823 Com [orris was appointed one of the Commission 's of the Navr, and Captain Win. M. Crane icceeded to the command of the Yard.

Among tbe many good sngges- t ons, that most important aud deserving of c msideration is tbe establishing of mannfac- t ires; aud herein appears to be tbe only hope ir us in tbe future. But tbe establishing—sue- 1 pssful establishing—of manufacturing inter- sis here will not be so easily consummated as rany seem to thiuk. If tbe walls of Jericho I id (all down at tbe blast of rams’ horus, it is 10 reason why we should expect to build up ur industrial interests with a blast of truui >ets, proclaiming to tbo world bow nice a ilace Portland is (an incantroyeuible facl)or Masting ol its magnificent harbor which was bought to be the only oce ou tbe Atlautic least where tbe Great Eastern could enter, or jy brooding over tbe decline of its foreign com merce. The times demand something more. Giveu, that manufacturing is our only re source and safety, all our energies should be bent toward that end. Confidence is a plant of slow growth, and tbe non-suecess of manu lactures here may be said to have entirely de stroyed confidence, nor will It bo easy to re store it. This fact may as well be borne in Ujind—tuccess is the test of merit. Tte world worships success, There cau be, no doubt, mauy kinds of faotorles established here, which can succeed, more especially in lines where tbe trausportation of tbe raw material and manulaclured articles is not great.

Then, too, it will be better, nay, abso lutely_neces*ary perhaps, to start tu a small way and build up. It would be vastly more easy to raise $20,000 than $200,000, and ten ea tablisbments of tbe former capital would be quite likely to yield more profit and ultimately benefit tbe place much more than one of tbe latter. Tbe ten small concerns if profitable would be incentives to capitalists of limited ——in«m/ADA in like enterprises. Your correspondent “O. D. C.” has a thrust at tbe railways reaching Portland, aud is evi dently disposed to tiud fault with tiie through connections which be says reduces this place to a mera flag station. Now railway and steamboat companies do UQt essentially differ from other corporations ill their business poli cy. Their directors, like the directors in our bauks aud oilier corporate bodies, are presum ed to look to their tutu interests first, that is, make paying dividends lor tbe stockholders. It is their duty to do so, and tailing in this un less for good cause, should be supplanted by others. There is a mutual relation existing between the trade of Portlaail and the railways, and you may rely upon the latter subserving tbe interests of the former, if it can be to their prof it to do so. O. P. C.” says the Grand Truok can afford to send go.ids as cheaply at Boston or New York can sb'p them. This may or may not be a fact—more likely the latter. Agaiu, “if tbe Grand Trunk would but adopt a policy in regard to Portland aud Portland business inch as tbe New York Central road pursues iu respect to tbe trade of tbe eity of New York, not only would our manufacturing industries begin to prosper and new ones to be established but our commerce in a twelve month would be quadrupled.” That, twelve month quadrupling is a trifie strong—possibly be rnoautour present commerce is so narrow an escape from nothing, that by any improvement in that period of time it would be quadrupled. But he errs iu assuming that the New York Ceutral railroad ever pursued a policy prompt ed solely by a desire to build up New York city. So far as railway facilities that city has always been at tbe mercy of three «.r four rival laiiwaj mica vi UdfC UIWU^S DCtfJl unreliable—sometimes low when their roads would compete lor trade, sometimes very high when they would combine together. No, the New York Central lias ao more soul than any railway entering Portland. Portland needs capital and skilled labor for the successful operation of the factories it is felt are to be her salvation. At present there is alack of both. Provide them, and with proper effort our city will soon be able to rise from the slough ol despcnd into which Blie now teems fast sinking. Publicus. Portland, Nov. 15 1871. Vincent Colter’s Story.—A Washington special to the Boston Advertiser* says that Vincent Colyer addressed an audience in that city Wednesday eveuing, giving an account of his recent visit to Arizona and his experience among the Apaches in that Territory. He lately passed over the Prescott and Wicken burg stage route and through the Kirkland Valley, in which yeung Loring of Boston was killed, and detailed at considerable length his views in relation to that affair. He concedes that the murder was probably done by Apache Mojaves, who are very numeious in Kirkland Valley. At the time Mr. Colyer passed the tribe were greatly incensed over the unprovok ed murder of ooe of their number at a ranche in the uppor part of the valley, by a party of three plundering white men who killed the Indian in order to rob him of his Henry rifle: tL« Itivl, btuw^lil Ojjc. jowJ brought also the women and children flseiog from the threatened revenge of the Indians.— A large party of the Apaches, while passing up the valley, were fired upon by the whites, and from these affairs has grown the bitter hostili ty which avenged itsell in the attack on the stage and the murder ot Boring and his fellow travellers. Beiore tbe news bl the tragedy was ieeeived, Mr. Colyer had la d the facts of the previous difficulty before the President, who expressed the most positive desire that the maraudiug and disturbing whites should be pursued and punished. The greater part of the Apache Mojaves, to whom the band who assaulted tbe Prescott stage beloog, are now on a reservation near Verdi, aud the others will be transferred thither in the spring. Mr. Colyer explained und auswered the charges which have been made by his opponents rela tive to his course while in Arizona, denying that lie bad ‘‘floated” the Indian reservations over the best lands in the Territory, or tiiat bo had driven the miners seeking water from Camp Grant. There are less than twenty ranches on all the lands selected for ressrva tions, to none ol which the owners had a legal title from the government aud the party who reported themselves seeking water to Camp Grant weie a band of 175 armed whiles, Mexi sans and Papogs Indians Irorn Tucson, on the way to repeat the massacre of April, 1871.— Nearly one hall of the eight thousand Apaches in Arizona are now on the three reservations lately assigned them, and it expects that 'he greater part of the remainder will be cc '.Med during the ensuing winter. Superintendent Pope telegraphed from Santa Fe to day that Cochise, tbe head chief of the Apaches, has not left the Canada Alamoso reservation as io ported, and that all is quiet in that vieinily._ Mr. Colyer’s audience numbered about fifty aud included no officials of prominence. A II orrid Affair.—A most horrid affair took place at the Summit (Ohio) county In firmary a few days ago, the details of which liavo just been made public. One part of the Infirmary is devoted to the insane, aud here, arnoug the otkors, were two women, named Ellen Bnyd and Laura Lyon. The forjier’s madness was of an unruly type, but the latter was mild and inoffensive. They occupied ad joining cells. On last week Tuesday Ellen was wasbiug clothes in the yard, when Superiu tendeut Glines, who was sittiugin his office near by. saw her give a sudden toss ol her head and, breaking into an insane laugh, start for the mad house.

Her body bad beeu dragged about half way out of tbe lell, and from two gashes in the top of her boad and one directly back of the ear gushed itreams ot,blood. Ot course the dangerous woman, whose fiendish madness bad prompted the deed, was quickly seized aun closely se mred.

He then ran out and made off. He was fighting drunk, aud has long been spotted as a daugarous indi vidual. The same day be struck John Mc Donough, without provocation, aud knocked him down. Cliflord cleared out belore tbe po lice were inlormed ot bis slabbing Tebbetts, wail lllUUfch tUo luoUcr wta L'fqu quiet in orOcr to arreit lmn, be lias not beeu seen in tnerity since. It is not known why lie attacked Tib betts, as there was no provocation whatever. WALDO COUNTY. Tbe Supreme Judicial Court which lias been in session at Belfast for three weeks, adjourn ed, finally, on Friday. In the contested will case of Virum B. Paul vs. Iddo K. Paul, the jury returned a verdict for tbe defendant, thus sustaining tbe validity of tbe will. Tbe case of Eastman and wife, ol Freedom, indicted for manslaughter ill starving a woman to death, did not come to trial. A shooting affray occurred at Belfast Thurs day evening of last week in wbieli a man nam ed James Dutch was shot in tbe Ihigh. Dutch, and two or three others, says tbe Journal, upon the wile of Mr. Wescott, railroad conduc tor, near the saloon of Mr. Benner, on- Main street. Mr. B interfered, and they then at tacked him. One of them seized him around the neck, and brought his bead down while the others aidjgd him. The saloon window was smashed during the row. Finding that he was iu danger of being seriously hurt, Mr. Benner drew a pistol and fired at the oDe who was holding him down, a man named Jas. Dutch. The hall entered the upper part of the thigh, and ranged along towards the knee. The as sailauts then ran, hut were met near the cor ner by Mr. Wescott who had been informed of what was going on, and who promptly knock ed down the whole lot. The house, barn and shed on the Ben. War ren place, in Swanyille, occupied by Josiab Curtis and sons, was burned on the 9th. In sured in Bangor for $1200. The record of remarkable families multiplies. Capt. H. D. Herrimau writts the Belfast Jour nal that in the town of Prospect, Mr. Crocker, on reading the notice of the Sanboru family, toiuarked that he lived under the same roof with four generations, consisting of father grandfather, and grealgrandf'ather-a mother, grandmother, two children, two grandchild ren. a great grandchild and an auot. And yet there are only four persons iu the house.— Simpson confesses that this is beyond his gen ealogical figuring. YORK COUNTY. Asa Small’s dwelling house in Limerick, was destroyed by fire Mouday afternoon about 2 o’clock. The family were engaged iu pre paring poultry for market. The fire originat ed from a defect in the chimney in a space over the attic. Loss $2,300. Insured iu the Quin cy company for $000. One of the clergymen of Saco, in the course of his sermon last Sabbsth afternoon, remarked thot he understood there were one hundred and twenty-eight licensed grog shops in Bid delord. The Democrat says the Methodist vestry in Biddeforil was crowded last Sunday evening to listen to Dr. Colby of Portland, on the subject of temperance- The Doctor gave a very inter esting leoture, dropping most of the old stereo typed stufies and giving several striking and apt illustrations. He was followed iu a few re marks by Mr. Murphy of Portland, whose ex periences, according to his own account are somewhat checks red. Mr. M. is possessed of a good deal of energy as a speaker, and may do service in the work of abolishing a traffic in which he was formerly engaged.
