The new train to lie put upon the road will
he a great accommodation to business nu n.
Four persons were baptised on Sunday at
the usual place in the river, by Rev. Mr.
King.
A special communication of Bethlehem
Lodge will be held this evening at half-past
seven. Work in the first degree.
A ride into the country just at this time
will co:.vince any one ot two facts : that there
are horrible roads and a good promise of an
abundant hay crop. This is the staple crop
in Maine, and when it yields a liberal har
vest the continued prosperity of our farmers
is assured.
Rev. Mr. King closed his labors with the
Methodist society in this city on the last Sab
bath. In the evening closing services of great
interest were held in the audience room of the
church, which was well filled. No farewell
•ermon was preached, ltcv. Mr. Martin. Mr.
King's successor, will probably enter upon his
pastoral labors next Sunday.
The body of a young mail named Colby
Smith, was found in a small brook near
Wing’s Mills, Mt. Vernon, on Sunday morn
ing. lie hud been missing some four weeks.
Geo. II. Foster of Belgrade, coroner, held an
inquest upon the liodv Sunday, the result of
which we have not yet learned. The young
man was about 18 years of age.
lion. John L. Steven*, with his family, left
the eitv yesterday in the noon train, for New
York, there to take the steamer for South
America, to enter upon the duties of the mis
sion to which he has been appointed. A large
number of Mr. Stevens’ friends gathered at
the depot to bid him good bye, to assure
him of their kind regards and to wish him a
safe voyage, a pleasant sojourn, and a safe ri
turn. Hr. Stevens’ address will he "John L.
Stevens, U. S. Minister, Montevideo, Uru
guay."
The experience of our travelling agent is
not unlike that of many others. He says that
when he calls at a house to introduce his bu-i
ness, if the man of the ltousc meets him with
a downcast, gloomy and hang-dog look, and
will not answer a civil question, and says he
has all the papers he wants, he concludes that
in nine cases out of ten the individual does
not lake any paper at all, and if lie ever reads
one, which is extremely doubtful, it is his
neighbor’s property. Hut, on the other hand,
if a man meets him with a smile and extend*
the welcome hand, is cheerful and sociable,
and well informed on the current topic* of the
duv, he always finds that man's table well
supplied with new-papers and magazines, and
is ready and willing to subscribe for more.
On and after Monday next, May 23d, the
Portland & Kennebec R. R. Co. will put on an
additional passenger train: leaving Portland
every morning, (except Sundays) at 7.10 and
running as far a* Augusta, arriving at ten
o'clock, and returning in the afternoon, leav
ing Augusta at 3.15; connecting witli the C
P. M. Express for Boston, arming in Boston
at 10 P. M., making but 04 hours running
time. This train will be the train for mer
chants and business men generally, a* it gives
nearly the whole day for business, and arriv
ing in Boston at a seasonable hour. And the
morning train from Portland will be a great
accommodation to the travelling public hav
ing business along the Kennebec, and is one
that has been needed for 6onie time. The
other passenger trains will be run as they
have through the winter, with the exception
of the steaui car train between Augusta and
Gardiner, f or time tables, etc., for this new
arrangement, see advertisements in the sev
eral local papers along the line of the road,
and Boston Post aud Journal aud Railway
Guides.
On Thursday evening of last week, Gen.
James A. ilall of Damariseottn, gave his
lecture on the battle of Gettysburg, before the
Veteran Soldiers' Debating Society at the
National Military Asylum at Togus. It was
the same lecture tluu has been delivered witlt
so much acceptance at several places in the
State. It was probably never before repeated
Under such peculiar circumstances. The gal
lant soldier who had participated in the svvncs
which he so clearly descrilied, stood face to
face with the disabled veterans who had been
marshalled upon the same deadly field. Gen.
Ilall claimed their attention from the begin
ning of the lecture and held it to the close. It
was their united testimony that the facts de
tailed were true to life, ami the stirring scenes
of the conflict were not over-wrought. The
lecture was illustrated by a map on which
were traced all the points of attack, the dif
ferent avenues leading to the battle field ami
tlie movement of the troops on each day. We
have heard the subject set forth in more glow
ing language, but never before hail so clear
an idea of the actual operations of the bo-tile
hosts and the topography of the land. Gen.
Ilall spent several months in preparing the
lecluie, drawing from his own experience and
the undoubted statements of ids brother offi
cers in the army. We trust that the General
m.iy be induced to repeat the lecture in this
city.
The remains of the* late Stephen Barton
were interred in Windsor with Masonic honors
on Sunday last. The ceremonies were per
formed by Bethlehem Lodge, of which the
deceased was a member, assisted by members
of the Augusta Lodge. There were ut least
one hundred brethren present. Preliminary
services were held at the house of his aged
father, alter which the remains were removed
to the church which w as filled with the friends
of the deceased and the Masonic brethren.
Many were turned away, unable to gain ad
mission. Funeral services were conducted at
the church by llev. Dr. llickcr of this city,
after which the body was token in charge by
the Masons whoboie it to the aeljoining church
yard where the buriul rites of the order were
observed. Mr. Barton’s age was 55 years and
7 months. Ho will be* remembered by our
citizens from bis connection w ith Mr. Merrill
of WiniHor ill the dry goods business in this
city, under the firm name o£ Barton A Merrill,
lie was in trade here in the brick store at the
corner of Oak and Water streets, fur four year*
from 16(11 to 16(15. The great fire destroyed
both bis store and goods, and broke up bis
business. The next year he purchased it farm
in i’arkuian, where he has stuco lived, lie
i hul been a rufferer from consumption fi.r
I many years; was compelled to rclir.ijuUh all
labor for two years previous to his death, and
since last August had been confined to his
room. For several months previous to his
I last sickness he was canvassing agent for a
newspaper, meeting w;th good success.—
lie was a true Christian, unassuming and suuie
i times even diffident; respected by all who had
dealings with him; and best loved by those
who knew him best.

FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
Washington. May 1G.
Senate. Mr. Stewart submitted an amend
ment providing that when any person ineligi
ble under the 3d article of the 14th amend
ment, shall hold office except a member of
Congress or of the State Legislature, the l .
S. District Attorney for tin* district in which
-aid person bolds office, shall proceed against
such person by quo warranto, and such writs
of quo warranto shall take precedence over
! all others on the dockets of the 1. S. Courts
j to which they are made returnable.
Mr. Stewart also moved several additional
sections, imposing line and imprisonment for
the holding of office in violation of the 14th
amendment, and forever disqualifying the
offender from holding office under the 1. S.,
and giving to all persons within the jurisdic
tion of the l\ S., Indians not taxed excepted,
the same rights in every Mate and territory,

every kind, and none other; and no taxor
| charge to be imposed by any State upon any
1 person i mmigrating thereto. The civil right**
act of ISM) is also re-cnactid.
Adjourned.
IIolse. Mr. Cox of N. V. ode red a reso
lution instructing the Reconstruction Com.
to report forthwith a general amnesty bill,
and moved the previous question.
The House refused to second the previous
question 51 to 7G. and also refu.-ed 8 4 to NJ to
I lay the resolution on the table, and referred
it to the Reconstruction Com.
I Mr. Sehenck of Ohio, chairman of the f om
| milt> • on Ways and Means, n ported a bill to
! reduce the internal revenue taxes, and made
j explanations to the House.
lie said theie was now on the general cnl
I endar in Committee of the Whole, a bill re
ported in March last to codifv and reduce into
I one. all the bills. From present appearances
I and from the condition of the business it was
I not probable the bill could lie disposed of in
! its entire fulness this session.
The Committee on Ways and Means had
! therefore conic to * lie* com fusion to divide the
1 matter of that large 1 ill on internal taxation.
| into three bills to ask successively the action
I of the House upon them. The •committee
proposed in the first place to modify, and to
| a great extent repeal all the internal taxation
laws of the country. with the exception of the
' taxation on fomented liquors, tobacco and
.-ugar; then the committee would report a
bill relating to those articles, and then would
n pnit a general bill relating to the organiza
tion of tin* Internal Revenue Department.
The bill w hich he now offered was the first of
these. It repealed all taxes on legacies and
successions, which l ist year produced $2.
434,5£>3. All taxes on the gross receipts of
railroads and insurance companies, and other
corporations and kinds of I usiness, with the
1 exception of lotteries, theatres, and places of
| public amusement, ic. The whole of such
; taxes produced last year $*.444.210: the re
I dilution now proposed was estimated at $ «,
103,G17; and all the tax on sales was taken
j off. except that assi s-ed on dealers in liquor,
which would made a further reduction ot $*,
137,784. It repealed all special taxes on re
tail and wholesale dealers in liquors, distill
er.-, manufactures ot tobacco and cigars,
dealers in tobacco and leaf tobacco, banks
and bankers, foreign commercial brokers,
foreign insurance agents, patent right dealers,
pawn-brokers, proprietors ot public amuse
ments, gift enterprises, jugglars, proprietors
of bowling allies and billiard rooftis. lottery
managers, and dealers in lottery tickets. It
i reduced the special tax on keepers of hotels
and tavern- to 810, if not exceeding the rental
I value of $500, and adding three dollars for
I each 8100 lor rental beyond $500. 4 he re
! duetion thus made would amount to 88.744.
! 752. It modified the income tax so as to in
] crease the exemption to $1,200. leaving the
i per tentage the same as now . 5 per cent.
thus effecting a reduction of $5,571,105. It
I changed the law in its effect on incomes, so
I that persons having less than $1,500 income
i .-hall not be required to make returns, and
1 there shall be no publication of incomes. It
■ repeals section "A" taxing carriages watches,
! xe. It repeals the tax on gas, on grinding of
j coffee and spites, and on the sale of tnanu
tactures. 1 he total amount of the reduction
j proposed, is $33,3(10,71 G.
Mr. Daw es o! Mass., Chairman of Commit
I tee on Appropriations, moved to go into com
j mittee on the naval appropriation bill, and
i moved that all prior orders be postponed un
J til alter the completion of all the appropria
i tion bills now with the committee. Agreed to.
The bill from the Judiciary Committee to
| enforce the provisions of the Amend
| nient. was passed under a suspension of the
| rules. 101 to 44. and the House adjourned.
