SENATOR MORRILL ANI) INDIAN \
AFFAIRS.
The coarse of Senator Morrill in rela
tion to Indian affairs is dictated by noble
sentiments, and does credit to his head as
well as heart. His recent speech in favor i
of humane treatment of the Indians is what
the people of Maine, knowing his eharae-!
ter, were prepared to expect. It breathes j
honor and kindness to the red men in !
every line, and is characterized by a grasp |
and knowledge of the subject that evince j
care anil thoroughness in the study of it.
The same ideas of justice to a degraded |
race and advancement of humanity which
led Mr. Morrill to become a Republican, j
impel him to advocate measures for the
amelioration and improvement of the con
dition of the Indians. The New Turk
Tribune of Saturday echoes the prevailing
sentiment in the following article :
“The friends of justice and humanity !
throughout the country have reason to ex
press their admiration of the way in which
Senator Morrill lias recently defended the
rights of the aboriginal population of the
Far West. Mr. Morrill has evidently stud
ied the question in all its points and bear
ings. If arguments based on justice are
not sufficient, he brings forward argu
ments based on cost and expenditure,
lie shows wliat a fearful price we pay for
maltreating and cheating the Indians, lie
shows that during the last seven years the
military service on the frontier has cost
the Government one hundred ami forty
millions of dollars, lie argues that it is
time for the American people to think of
these things, and to see if there cannot be
I some wiser policy discovered than that
which has heretofore been enforced. AVe
trust that Senator Morrill, who lias lately
been the leading champion of Indian
rights in Congress, will boldly assume the
j responsibilities of this position. He will
1 be supported bv a very powerful public
I sentiment. The people now realize more
I keenly than ever before that we have oth
er relations to the Indian beside that of
' his butcher. The I’iegan massacre was
■ one of the most effective means—bloody
means though it was—of rousing the pub
I lie conscience, which has found expres
sion lately through the Indian Commis
sion, the Peace Convention, the Quaker
meetings, and in other ways. The mis
sion of the Sioux Chiefs to Washington is
the Indian response to this popular desire
for peace and justice. We earnestly hope
that these movements may result in the
establishment of a Christian policy toward
them for the guidance of our (Jovern
ment.”
An extensive conflagration raged in Con
stantinople on the 5th and Oth. It broke out
about one o’clock 1’. M., and spread with
alarming rapidity through the richest quarter
of the city. The flames were discovered in
an old building in I’era, on the North side of
Golden Horn. A strong wind was blowing
at the time, and the tire quickly communicated
to the adjoining buildings. The efforts of the
firemen and citizens to stop the flames were
futile and in a few hours the residences of the
English, American and Portuguese Ambassa
dors and Consulates, Naom theatre, many
churches and mosques, thousand* of houses
and tlie richest stores and stiops in the city
were reduced to ashes. The loss of life by
the falling of walls was fearful. It is estima
ted that at least thirty people were killed or
injured by this cause alone. The loss is in
calculable. On tlie evening of the 6th tile
tire was checked.

LETTER FROM 11OST0X.
Anniversary Week— The Anniversaries— The
May Training — Decoration Day— The
Bcethoren h'es iral—The Handel and Hay
den Society—The Annual Exhibition of
Flowers in Horticultural Halt—(Jr.
Boston, June 3d, 1870.
The anniversary week of 1870, has come
nml gone like so many others, and although
the meetings were smaller than on some pre
vious occasions, yet the time was very pleas
ant, and the heavens smiled propitiously
‘nearly all the week, the storm which was an
nounced for Tuesday resulting in a slight
drizzle and lowering sky only, which was not
sufficiently threatening to keep people indoors.
The umbrella—that constant companion of peo
ple generally at this particular season—became
useless, and rested quietly from its labors, to
the unbounded satisfaction of its possessor.
Meetings were held as usual in all parts of
the city, so of course one could not possibly
attend them all. The Woman’s Suffrage Con
vention met in Trcmont Temple and Fraterni
ty Hall, and a great many good speeches were
made by Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd
Garrison, James Freeman Clark, Mrs. Liver
more, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe and other friends
of the movement.
Mr. Murray brought the power of his ora
tory to bear upon “the social evil,” intemper
ance, and demanded that the churches assist
the police authorities to eradicate it. At the
Anniversary of the Young Men’s Christian
Union, in Music Hall, an immense audience
listened to addresses by that funny Scotch
minister. Robert Collyer, Dr. Bellows, Mr.
Ilepworth, the Rev. Mr. Schermerhorn. who
has recently taken the pastorate of the Church
of the Unity, and James Freeman Clarke.
Mr. Col Iyer’s address was highly entertaining,
and frequently elicited an audible smile from
his audience. I)r. Bellows’ subject—The De
cade of Passion—was presented in his most
masterly and elegant manner. Mr. Ilepworth
took occasion to allude to some of the fash
ions in a manner not particularly pleasing to
many ladies, however true the applications
were. The Rev. Mr. Schermerhorn was a
little bitter upon his old faith, and very en
thusiastic in the praise of his new home.
James Freeman Clark, in the course of his
remarks told a story about the Rev. Mr.
Winkley, but I failed to see the point whicli
he wished to illustrate; perhaps others did.
And so the good, the great and the learned,
gathered themselves together, with the rich
and the poor, the high and the low. and no
more bond, but all free, excepting as they
were shackled by the fetters of sin; and who
shall say that no good shall be the result of
such a conclave and gathering of all sects,
denominations, creeds, isms and factions?
It was an unusually fine display that our
military made at their annual training, on the
Common, the 25th of last month. And per
haps this was partly owing to the fact that
they all had-wiew uniforms, and looked very
nice as they were drawn up in lines or formed
in battalions on the green. The lancers, uni
formed in scarlet, and mounted on their white
steeds added much to the effect of the whole,
and the numerous cannon witli horses attached,
as if awaiting action, made it seem very much
like a war-like demonstration. The Common
looked its best, and all seemed to be enjoying
it, from the girls and hoys who were
amusing themselves by rolling down hill, or
showering each other with the new mown
bay, to the older ones who loitered under the
shade trees, or congregated in large numbers
to sec the parade.
Monday, the 30th of May, most places of
business were closed, and the Grand Army
with citizens and relatives of our dead heroes,
repaired to the different cemeteries to strew
their last earthly resting place witli flowers.
The militia and soldiers looked very finely,
marching along to the beat of the drum and
the inspiring music, each with a beautiful
floral offering for some fallen comrade. A
magnificent pyramid of flowers went out to
Mount Hope, and several carriages loaded
witli sweet buds and blossoms found their
way to Mount Auburn. Flags were floating
at half mast in all parts of the city. A fitting
tribute, indeed, to pay the departed; and
we must not forget that it was inaugurated by
our southern sisters, who did not pass by the
grave of the poor Union soldiers, but strewed
all alike with "the emblems of peace. Truly,
“They banish our anger forever.
When they laurel the graves of our dead.”
It is certainly well that one day in each
year should be consecrated to the memory of
those who fought so well and nobly; and
while the dead are remembered, let not the
living—those who may be suffering even now
from want—the widows and orphans of the
humble private, he forgotten, hut looked after
and cared for by a wise government and the
citizens of oar large cities.
A very interesting trial has been going on
in the Superior court, which some of your
Augusta readers may be curious about, as the
defendant, I understand, was formerly of that
city. Some months ago, as was related by a
gentleman whose wife was requested to ex
amine the contested hill. Sirs. Olivia 1*. Flynt.
a fashionable dressmaker, residingat-45 Chauu
eey street, sent a bill to Mr. Coolidge, who
with his wife hoards at the Hevere House, for
81,011,11 the same being for three months
dressmaking. Mr. Coolidge thought it ex
orbitant and refused to pay. After several
interviews, it was found that no esmpromise
could be effected and so the case was .submit
ted for trial, and occupied the most of last
week; it was resumed on Monday last, but
the jury failing to agree, were dismissed, and
it is probable the case will have to he tried
over, unless it can he settled in some other
way. One black silk suit cost $413,21; a
cambric suit 813,35 and a white pique 802,71.
The other items were in accordance. That
old saying, that “If people dance they must
pay the fiddler," seems very applicable in this
instance; so if one employs a fashionable
dressmaker, who prides herselves—as Mrs.
Fly IK dues—upon her artistic merit us costum
er, I suppose they may expect to pay hand
somely for it. It is reported that Mrs. Flynt
has several other such cases pending.
The New Yorkers propose to make the
Beethoven Festival, which will commence the
loth of June, and continue four or five days,
quite an ntfair,—equalling, perhaps, the fa
mous Jubilee. They have invited the Ilandel
and Hayden society to come on and sing for
them. The society met last Tuesday evening
to discuss the expediency of the measure, and
finally decided to accept if upon investigation
by a committee deli gated to go on to New
York for that purpose, it is found that the hall.
which 1ms been advertised in the papers to ac
commodate 25,000 people, will not accommo
date more than 8,000, as has been stated to the
secretary of the society by the gentleman in
New York with whom he has been corres
ponding upon the subject. As the chorus are
to give “Elijah,” Mr. Zcrrahn, the conductor,
says it could not be sung by five hundred—
the number going—with good effect, in a hall
that would seat so many. It is very probable
that they will go, and if they do so, Madame
l’arcpa ltosa will accompany them.
“A tiling of beauty is a Joy forever,”
I exclaimed, as I stepped into Horticultural
hall last evening and took in at a glance the
whole array of floral loveliness; and my de
light increased at every step. There were
azaleas—red, white and pink; geraniums
scented and flowering, nnd some novel plants
to me, one marked calceolareas, which in one
pot had a blossom very much resembling a
strawberry, being of the same color, and dot
ted with those little black specks that we sec
in the strawberry. The other pot had a yel
low blossom. Thu cinerarias vveru one mass !
of bloom, having a purplish blossom a little |
smaller, perhaps, than a daisy. Then there
was a species of colens, noticeable for the rich- I
ness of its leaf, which is green, or maroon,
and perhaps variegated, looking very much i
like velvet. I admired this a great deal, and
was much interested in its history, as related [
by one of the members of the society. There |
was a variegated geranium which was hand- ,
somer than any thing of the kind I ever saw.
There was also a gorgeous display of peonies,
and among the cut flowers none sweeter than
the heliotrope and laburnum. A large and
brilliant variety of rhododendrons graced one
side of the hall, and a pot of strawberries oc
cupied the centre of a table w hich was also
graced by two [dates of large and luscious
looking peaches. But I have not space to tell
of all 1 saw, or how much 1 enjoyed it, and
how pleased, and social, and happy everybody
else seemed, as they delightedly made their
way round, until a sentiment of Henry Ward
Beecher’s occurred to me, where he says :—
“that if a multitude of men were turned into
a fie ld of flowers, they wauld be drawn to
gether in a transien brotherhood.” 1 be
lieve it; and the Massachusetts Horticultur
al Society, by the inducements they throw
out for people to take more interest in the mat
ter, are doing the same thing for horticulture
that Dr. Torjee is for music. These exhibi
tions are free, and are held each week between
twelve and one, Saturday afternoon, during
the summer season. The rose show will oe- ^
eur soon, and be worth attending.
Ho for California! The Pullman Palace
cars and their living freight of humanity have
arrived in San Francisco, and already the
waters of Massachusetts and San Francisco
Bay are mingling together.
The vexed question of the Hartford nnd
Erie Railroad seems to be near a settlement,
which is certainly to be hoped for it has re
quired a great deal of legislation.
But although there is a great deal that I
have not written, I think I must keep it until
next time, for 1 believe editors have a sort of
horror of long communications, ami this is al
ready longer than usual. Pebsis.
LETTER FROM PORTLAND.
■ Portland, June Gtli, 1870.
I think it must have been a week since I
wrote you from here, a long time certainly
between sentimental young people who do not
quite understand each other, but not a great j
matter between us who are used to the devious
ways of newspaper people and know time
and cares press sometimes. And, then, we
are getting close upon the time when this
commuuity is to be convulsed by the awful
contest between llersey and Pcrham for
Governor, Lynch “or any other man” tor
Member of Congress, and other things both
great and small that sorely interfere with
one’s high resolve to “write often and loflg
letters, you knowindeed I only get time
to do so much as this little letter by taking
from the allotment for sleep I made when I
was younger and had more leisure than now.
And then again (I like to abound in reasons)
there is not much to write about. It is hot
and dry. country folks and city folks—unless
the latter have Sebago and a length or two
of hose—alike complain of a very unusual
drought, which means very likely, that they
have really known many just such hut don't
choose to hunt them up now. Of course there
is no summer travel yet and consequently no
change in local affairs here. Nor is there a
prospect of anything new in the way of
summer items, except perhaps the new
Steamer and Stage lines between here and
the upper Saco valley ami the mountains, put
on and jnst begun to run, by Hon. C. K.
Gibbs of Ilridgton. which promise to rev
olutionize the summer travel this season so
far as that general direction is concerned.
In politics, affairs have settled down so
nearly between llersey and Pcrham for Gov
ernor. there is really no great popular de
monstrative interest, but rather a quiet sense
among those accustomed to pass upon these
\ things. If you should ask me who will com
mand the most votes for Governor in this
county I should say Perhatn, but I may be
mistaken. At present the canvass is largely
one of a personal kind and it is impossible to
tell who will do this with the most thorough
ness.
It is growing warm among the friends of the
various Congressional aspirants from this
district, and looks now as though it might go
to York Co. It will most certainly if there
shall be any great effort to unite the Y'ork Co.
people, and it is even now hinted that Mr.
Lynch may withdraw before the time comes.
■ If he does it will be in favor of Judge Tapley
probably. The friends of Hon. N. G. .Mar
shall have begun some sharp and systematic
work for him, and considering his late enter
ing upon the canvass he is proving himself
very strong, and I should say that he could
command as many votes in Cumberland Co.
as any other man. Gen. Wentworth's support
ers are also hopeful, and he certainly has
more strength than has heretofore been ac
corded to him. I am inclined to think that
Mr. Goodwin’s strength has been overesti
mated.
lVrhaps another week may better define the
status of matters above hinted at, but 1 have
given you what seems to me now to be a fair
estimate of thohances, well knowing how
ever, that it is a bad year for making slates.
Y'ours hurriedly, CosMorot-tTE.

The Camden Herald says the citizens of
Rockport were considerably surprised, a few
days ago, at the discovery of a well made hut:
constructed of boughs and brush, upon the
western side of the village, containing a
wagon load of crockery, preserve jars, and
many other articles of household ware.
Cpon investigation, it turned out that the
place had been fur a month or more the
rendezvous of ten or twelve urchins, rang
ing from six to twelve years, who bad made
raid after raid upon the house of Capt. Aun>
bury, who is absent at sea, till they stripped
it of crockery ami everything edible, includ
ing some dozen or more jars of choice pre-1
serves. Nor were their depredations confined
to this house, but other dwellings were levied
upon though none to so great an extent. The
young rogues had all the paraphernalia for
cooking, and no doubt had many a jolly time
feasting upon lobsters, cake, pies, preserves,
jellies, and stub other provender as they
could lay their hands on. Fortunately their
wicked career was nipped by one of them
who thought be bad been ill-used in a divi
sion of spoils turning traitor and “blowing.”
A good deal of castigation by indignant par-1
cuts took place in Rockport on the evening of,
the discovery.
Townsend Marine Railway at Boothbay
harbor is completed and was opened for busi
ness June. 1st. It is built of the best material
with an ample capacity for taking up vessels
of 1200 tons. It is said by men who are
judges that this is the best railway on the
coast according to the capacity for taking
vessels up. Mr. Luring, the master builder,
has been in this business for thirty years, and
this is probably the last one be will build.
He has done himself honor and received the
thanks and best wishes of the Townsend

admission to the colony. Mr. Thomas will
arrive in Halifax, about July 12th. He has \

acres felled and burnt, and a house of two
rooms.
The laving of the iron on the Belfast and
Moosehead Lake Railroad was begun Satur
day with appropriate ceremonies. The first
spike was driven by the wife of Director Mil

completed in three months.
