Editors, 1 am distracted. must and yet I tell how. Will you inform me Copperhead Sensibilities Shocked.

The Argus yesterday morning contained the following paragraph: Quite a commotion was created at one of our public places of amusement a night or two since by the entrance of a black man and a white woman company. Matters assuming the appearance of a disturbance, the obnoxious couple left the hall. We happen to know that the above six lines, besides a contemptibly mean spirit, contain at least four false statements. In the first place there was no commotion. Second, it was not a black man and a white woman, as the Argus uses the word Third, there was no appearance of a disturbance.

Fourth, obnoxious did not leave the hall. We were an eye-witness of ail that transpired, but did not propose to allude to it till the excellent company now playing at the hall (DeeringQaU) had closed their dramatic season, and should not have done so but for the false version of the affair quoted above. It took place on Monday evening. We entered the hall half an hour before the curtain rose, and took a seat in the parquette about seven or eight seats from the front, next the aisle separating J'rom the orchestra chairs. When we went in there were very few persons in the than twenty-five be ow, we should of these, then seated, in the third Beat directly in front of us, was the referred to above; a young colored man, quite black, well dressed, and in all respects orderly and of good deportment.

By his side was a young lady, rather tastily dressed, very goodlooking, and though she had wavy hair, slightly marked African features, and an evident shading of African blood, she was quite as white as many other ladies present that evening in whose veins no disreputable blood has had the impertinence to circulate. Sometime after the curtain least fifteen or twenty noticed on the seat immediately before us a fidgety, uneasy, nervous person, who seemed disturbed at something, and who left his seat and went back, and out of the inside door. Almost immediately after one of the men connected with the Theatre came in, walked down the aisle to the colored man, and in a voice to he heard any where within a dozen feet, told him he belonged in the gallery! We could not distinguish all that passed between them; indeed we could not hear a word said by the individual, his back being toward us, but we saw him offer a bank bill to the gentleman as though to pay any extra charge for his privilege in the parqutte, but it was refused, the order for him to leave and go into the gallery was peremptory, and apparently with much reluctance he arose, took up his overcoat, which he had thrown off, and walked out wit a the parson who required his removal. A gentleman before ui turned about and said, in a low voice, a d-d shame We felt that it was an outrage and an insult, and took the responsibility of going immediately back to the door-keeper to inquire If any complaint had been made, that such a proceeding should take place. He said the man had a gallery ticket.

We asked how it happened, then, that he had been allowed to occupy his seat for nearly an hour, and that his money was refused when ho offered to pay an additional charge. He see ued unable tc give any explanation, and we returned to our seal, remarking to him first that such things did not go doym in Portland, where good behavior is a sufficient passport to our be3t lecture halls on payment of the required fee, and that we should ventilate the whole proceeding in the Press the next morning! We have only to add that in le3S than three minutes after we returned to our seat, the returned to his scat, and when we left an hour later he was still there undisturbed. The restless individual abave referred to returned to his seat, became more un easy than ever, gave us, we thought, some very evil glapce3, got up and went out. Perhaps he had nothing to do with the affair; perhaps we did him injustice in our imagination, hut we could not avoid the suspicion that he was the Copperhead who felt called upon to guard the portals of that very select place against the contamination of colored blood. It is proper to remark that in the seat before the were four white W00U3, two of either sex.

and so- unruly was one of the white ladies that a police officer spoke to her several times, and eventually threatened to eject her from the hall for her disorderly she was not ordered into the gallery I The Sweedish Reform Bill. Pobtlasd, Dec. 19, 1805. Tathe Editor of the Press I see by the Press of this morning, that the Swedish Reform Bill has passed the four Houses of the Legislature of Sweden. The Reioim bill now therefore needs only the approval of the King, to become the law of the land; and as the King is himself the proposer of the measure, no doubt need be en tertained on this score.

As the passage of this reform is directly owing to the glorious triumph of free ideas aud Republican principles in America, I have thought a word or two explanatory of its scope and purpose, would not be out of place in an American newspaper. The Swedish Biksday, or legislature, is comopsed of four of Nobles, House of Priests, House of Burghers and House of Peasants. The Nobles are not elected, but hold their seats in the 1st Hoose by prescriptive The 2d House is entirely in the hands of the pr1eat3, as no other than a priest can either be, or vote for, a member of it. The House of Burghers is elected by the merchants in the cities and towns, and the House of Peasants by the fanners all over the country. This system of legislation besides many other bad features, excludes a large portion of tbe people, such as mechanics, artizans, scientific, and literary men from any and is at best a clumsy, quadrangular method of legislating.

The King of Sweden has been forced to submit the present reform bill to the Swedish Chambers by a peaceful but potent uprising of the people in their majesty, and the Chambers, especially the Houses of Nobles, and of Priests have been compelled to vote away their privileges for fear of a revolution. The Reform bill just passed Is most sweeping in its character It annihilates the four Houses at a blow, creating in their stead two Houses much like our Senate and House of Representatives. It tramples under foot all privilege of class or caste in the legislative halls of the nation, prohibiting any noble, priest or other, from sitting in the Swedish Councils, simply because he is priest or noble, but giving the right to become a member of either House to all, with the simple republican proviso, that they shall be fairly elected by their constituencies. Lastly it extends and equalizes the suffrage. This is the first great blow that our republican held aloft to ihe eyes of the world in our late titanic war, have struck in Europe, and it is but the beginning of the end.

Every observer of European affiurs must know that the privileged classes of the old world which diicctly or indirectly rule all the great nations the other side of the water, have, almost to a man, been the enemies of the North and freedom, the friends of the South and slavery, all through the great agony of our nalicn. They thought, and truly, that the very existence of the great Republic, was a standing menace to the unrighteous privileges on which I they grew great. Hence they abetted and connived at the rebellion, which was to rend us asunder, and blot out the Republic from among the great powers of the earth. And now America is being avenged. AVe need not send abroad a soldier or a ship, not even a hostile great example is avenging us.

The common, working people of that great, stupid, good-natured, liard-toiling at last learnt from us their might and their rights. Backed by the strength of their brawny arms they are now demanding their just heritage. Their first great victory has been gained in Sweden. And the ball thus kept rolling, will not stop till it has crushed all that countless myriad of unjust privileges, which for centuries have enabled the aristocrats of Europe to fatten on the sweat of other faces. Marstrand.

Those are two short words, and yet important ones to a certain class. But words spoken at the right time, are received by those to whom they are addressed, more favorably, than if uttered at an unseasonable hour. So it would be with the above Let the merchants of Portland consider this, and see if the order would not be more appropriate for six than for eight I think their clerks would receive it with lighter hearts, and would thank those who had reduced their labor to a twelve hour system. In but very few, if any, of our cities, are clerks compelled to labor fourteen or fifteen hours par day, and thus be deprived of all privileges that present themselves, in the lecture-room, and in various other ways, for the proper exercise of mental faculties. AVhy will the traders ot Portland, be so far behind those of other cities in this respect AVhy not come up to a more correct standard, and at six, instead of eight or nine give the order, Proposer.

Mademoiselle Parepa. This celebrated vocalist, assisted by Mr. Levy, the greatest living comet player, and Carl Rosa, an accomplished violinist, and some others, will appear in concert at City Hall on the evening of the 28th mst. one week from to-day. Our citizens have every reason to expect the most brilliant musical entertainment ever given in this city.

Parepa, Levy, and Rosa are artists of world-wide reputation and their music is of the highest order. This will be no ordinary concert, anti we expect to witness in our spacious Hall the most brilliant and fashionable audience ever assembled within its walls. We mean just what we say. Portland has never been visited by three such artists, and we hesitate not to say they will give us the richest musical entci tainment we have ever had. We shall have more to say of this musical banquet in store for our citizens as soon as the preliminary arrangements shall have been made.

Awful Fire! On Monday afternoon last, a great and des tractive fire took place in this city. About $400,000 were lost, and so quietly did the fire rage that it was unknown to more than a dozen people I The occasion was the burning of $367,000 International Bank Bills! The fire was confined to the cellar of the Bank, lasted ed all the afternoon, and was managed under the supervision of several Directors of the Bank, who seemed to enjoy the fun as keenly as the boys do the bonfires on the shores of Back Cove. Tbe hills destroyed, were from the aristocratic denomination of $1000, to the unpretending, democratic figure of $1. At six the work of destruction was the flushed, sweaty, but jolly, retired to tea, in that happy frame of mind, which follows the appreciation of doing a good act. Spans Homs.

An Illustrated Monthly Miscellany tor the young. Boston: Patrick Donahoe. This is a new magazine modelled somewhat after the pattern of Young published under Catholic auspices, and intended to meet the wants of the Catholic portion of the juvenile reading public. The appearance of the first number is promising. It contains a judicious mixture of entertaining an instructive matter quite quai to the average standaid in point of literary merit; its illustrations are iii excellent taste, itsvepertory of puzzles, attractively full, while the paper, type, cover, and all points ot its mechanical make-up, are unsurpassed by those of any magazine we are acquainted with.

Judging from this specimen we think it a likely to prove both interesting and useful to the class of readers fsr whom it is designed. Received of A. Williams Co. For sale by E. C.

Dec HONEY -OFHorehound and Tar, FOR THE CURE OF COUGHS, COLDS, INFLUENZA. HOARSENESS, DIFFICULT BREATHING, and AFFECTIONS of the THROAT, BRONCHIAL TUBES and LUNGS, leading to Consumption. This sovereign remedy is compounded from the favorite recipe of on illustrious Physician and Chemist, who for many years used it with the most complete success in his extensive practice. He had long been profoundly impressed with the wonderful virtue of the honey of the plant Horeliound, in union with the CLEANSING and HEALING properties of Tar extracted from the fe principle of the forest tree Abies Balsamea or Balm of Gilead. For years he was baffled in his attempts to blend these great medicinal forces into such a union that the original power of each would be preserved, the disagreeable qualities of common tar removed, and the price of the compound be within the means of all.

At last, after a long course of difficult chemical experiments, he found that by adding to thezeflve other ingredients, each one valuable by itself. he not only obtained the desired results hut greatly increased the curative power of tho compound. This having been thoroughly tested by practice, is now offered to tho general public as a safe, pleasant and infallible remedy. Price Fifty Cents Per Bottle.

L. A LE0TUBE8. Bishop Simpson on Future of Our All those who were so fortunate last night as to listen to the very eloquent and able lecture of this able gentleman before the Mercantile Library Association enjoyed a rich treat. The address was one which might be said to touch a fortunate medium between two very common and not always desirable Without pretending to discuss any of the special questions, the exciting issues which agitate the public mind to-day, it yet revealed in its allusions and in many eloquent passages a deep and vital interest in the great principles which these questions involve. Ihe lecturer began by saying that some nations, like some individuals, seem set apart by God for a glorious destiny.

He thought it plain that ours was one of these. One reason for so thiuking was to be found in the universal conviction of the people that such is the fact. God drops great thoughts into the hearts of nations to be the impulse to great achievements. The American has more than ordinary attachment to and pride in his country. This is a feeling which imbues the heart of every man, uo matter where his birthplace but the American seems to have it more largely developed than any, and there is something in it which indicates the features of the nation.

Our attachment for cur country is not founded upon the past; we have no relics or history of the past like the nations of the old We love or country for what it will he rather than for what it has been. There are indications in the signs of the times to assure us of what our country may With us coming events cast their shadows before. If a nation does its duty, God will lead It to fame and perpetuity if it fails, in his just Provideuce, its prosperity will be blighted. hese are the three points to be considered with regaid to our country; its location, magnitude, and resources. For the first, our territory is situated in the great belt of power from which a mighty empire should arise.

There is no great nation south of the south of twentvfive degrees north of it. All powerful nations have been situated between the parallels of latitude twenty-five and fifty; this is true of Rome, Greece, Germany, England and France. The United States lies between the twenty-fifth and forty-ninth degrees north of the Equator. In magnitude, it is of the first class. Egypt was no larger than one of our middle-sized States; Phoenicia was about as big as one of our counties; Greece would have made a fair State: England would be no more; while France is not as big as Texas.

Our country is one an4 a half times as large as all Europe, with the single exception of Russia. Our resources are many and varied. Every variety of grain, every species of fiuit springs from our soil. Last year, though war had called the husbandmen from the plough to the sword, our products of grain, hay, and tobacco amounted to fifteen hundred millions of greater value of crop than in any previous year. The amount of tobacco alone which was raised was a hundred and fifty million than six pounds for every man, woman and child in the country.

Our mineral resources are.exhaustless—of copper, lead, quicksilver, silver and gold. Our national debt is three thousand million dol lars; but there is enough silver in the mines of the Western States and territories to pay it all off, and give everybody in the land a fortune in the land. There are rivers of oil in the much that in more senses than one, America may be the light of the world. Then, too, we have none of the political rubbish of adead past to impede us. We have a free field in which to found permanent and noble institutions.

America has settled forever the connection of Church with State. Give a man a motive to worship contrary to his convictions, and you make of him a hypocrite. Take away the connection between Church and State, and a man stands erect in the dignity of his nature. Our system ot education, which provides for the extension of education to the masses, is the glory of the land. Another powerful source ot elevation is found in the aspirations which our youth feel for office and position.

The pathway to eminence is open to all; and this stimulates the patriotism. Webster was born in a log cabin; Gen. Sheridan was the son of poor parents; Jackson the child ot lately landed emigrants; and a humble rail-splitter became President of the United States. We are to be the greatest commercial nation of the world. There is no other so favorably situated.

When our railroads shall reach across the continent, the commerce of India, China and Japan will come to our Western Coast. And that day is not far distant. The locomotive is even now toiling up the Sierra Nevada mountains, as though ambitious to bear away the treasures of that clime. France is engaged upon a canal across the Isthmus of Suez to connect the Red Sea with the Mediterranean, when she will claim all the trade of the East that flows The day is not far distant when England will be loft outside the line of commerce. The handwriting is already visible upon the wall.

And though he would not rejoice at her downfall, yet it would be the just retribution of an avenging fate. The speaker said that an extensive commerce Is the best argument in the favor of neutrality and that it was most likely to prove efficacious in teaching England her duties in this respect Again, the future promises for our nation not only commercial greatness, but expansion territory. Itis far from Montreal to Mexico as from Maine to California. The day may not be so very far distant when representatives from Mexico and Panama, from Montreal and Quebec, shall be welcomed to seats in our Congress. The great need of our country is a greater degree of unity in its different Sections.

Now that slavery is at an end, tills is likely to he attained. In alluding to the efforts of Southern delegations to force an entrance into Congress, the speaker said that, with the lepresentation from the North two to tlicir one, anil with such statesmen as aie in the ranks of Northern Congressmen and Ailing other offices of power, he would havem fears were they to be let in at once, still he thought for the present they had better stay where they are. Hedeflned himself to be a radical democrat, and believed that every man on whom God has placed the seal of manhood should take part in the management of tho government. He had faith to believe that in time this would be brought about. We should cultivate internal improvements; and should invite foreign population to come to our shores.

There is room enough for them and us to. The lecturer seemed disposed to look upon both the present and the future somewhat eouleur de rose, and largely to glorify ti American eagle; yet we are far from feein that either his hopes or his prognostics of future national greatness are exaggerated. His address contained many eloquent passages and happy hits, and was illustrated by a store of felicitous anecdotes. It occupied an hour and a half in delivery, hut was listened to with unabated attention and interest, and was received with frequent and hearty applause. SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.

CRIMINAL PRESIDING. Wednesday. The case of Jacob Lewis, William Johnson and Isaac Brown, indicted tor breaking and entering the shop of Cyrus K. Babb, was finished. Mr.

Butler made the argument for the State, and tlie case was given to the jury by Judge Barrows in an elaborate charge. The jury, after being out nearly six hours came into Court and the foreman reported that they were unable to agree upon a verdict. They stood ten for conviction and two for acquittal. The prisoners were remanded and the case goes over to the March term. It was expected that the case of George W.

Jones, against whom three indictments for arson had been found, in setting tire to the dwelling houses on Federal Street on the night of September 19th, would be next taken The Court had assigned Messrs. J. H. Drummond and J. D.

Simmons as liis counsel, and special jurors had been summoned. Mr. Drummond stated to the Court that the principal ground of the defense would be insanity of the prisoner. As the counsel had hatl no time to prepare for the defense, he moved a continu ance of the case to the next term, which me tion was gi anted by the Court, and the case goes over to the March term. The special jurors summoned were dismissed.

U. 3. DISTRICT COURT. DECEMBER PRESIDING. Wednesday.

Annie M. Stewart was tried on two for aiding and assisting in making counterfeit curreucy; the other with having the counterfeit currency with intent to pass the same. Under instructions from the Court that the wife was not responsible for acts committed in presence of or by command of the husband, the jury reiurued a verdict of not guilty on both indictments. G.

30. Catherine Twahig, the house thief, who has gone by so many different names, was brought up for larceny, and pleaded guilty. For want of sureties in the sum of $300 for her appearance at the March term of the Supreme Court, she was committed to jail. Kate Sullivan was brought up for attempting to smuggle a of whisky to her husband in jail. She paid a fine of five dollars and costs and was discharged.

J. W. Parker, for the defense. Elegant Books, reader invited to walk into the establishment of Messrs. Bailey Noyes, No.

Continental Brothers, Pell company of Comedians, intended for the now Continental Theatre in Boston which is to be opened on the 1st of January, will perfotm in Decring Hall next week. Mr. Morris has taken great pains in selecting the company for this new theatre, and has secured some of the best dramatic talent in the country. He proposes to give us a succession of the old English plays, altering the performances every evening. The stay of the company here is limited to five nights as they must be in Boston od Saturday, Dec.

30th to prepare for the opening of the Continental, on the succeeding Monday. Reserved seats can be secured to-day and after, for any night next week, without additional charge. Attempt at Store third attempt was made Tuesday night, to break into gunsmith shop on Exchange by the back way, as usual. But the robbers found themselves foiled; for alter breaking the glass they were met by a strong shutter inside which resisted all their tools. It was lucky for them that' they found for had the scamps been able to open the shutter, they would have received such a peppering as would have astonished them.

Bailey has suffered twice before by these depredators, and they will find that at the third time somebody will Larceny. John Bennett was arrested Tuesday afternoon by officers Williams and Gerts for larceny of $10 from Capt. John Simms, at the Marine Hospital. Botii nett and Capt. Simms were inmates of the hospital and in the same ward.

Saturday morning Bennett arose early and took the money from the pocket of Capt. pants, which were on the bed, and then came to the city, and shipped to go to sea. Upon refunding the money stolen, he was allowed to proeecute his voyage, and yesterday sailed for Charleston. New Post appointment of Judge Davis as Postmaster of this city is one that will commend itself to the public. Although the name of the Judge has not boon publicly mentioned as a candidate for the office, yet the new3 of the appointment gave satisfaction so far as we heard any expressions of opinion upon the matter.

That Judge Davis will make an excellent officer, and will see that the public are accommodated to the utmost extent that can be allowed with the present clerical force of the office, we do not for one moment doubt.
