A very large meeting assembled in Portland, Me., oun Monday night to welcome Senator Fessenden, and be was enthusiastically re- ceived. He acknowledged the greeting. He had been reluctant to accept the invitation to speak, fearing bis voice might have lost its in- Muence: but their hearty welcome had recon- vinced him. He contrasted the time with torty years ago, when he first addressed them here. and spoke of the long term of his service. He Bad endeavored to do his duty. [Appianse.} Ifscmetimes he had differed with bis friends OF constituents, it iaust be attributed to the ative obstinacy of bis character. He having formed an opinion was apt to stick to it, always Gnding that the good sense and magnauimity of the people will atways uphold man who does Bis duty to the best of bis convictions. [Ap- Plause.} He alluded to the difficulties uuder which the Republican party first assumed the Tens of government, and defended its course. He wisbed —< respectfuliy of the Demo- eratic party; t ad spoken very respect uily of him'of late, for which he was very much obliged; but, speaking of changes, there wa one point in which he bad never changed at all, and that was bis opposition to the Democratic party.

A new coustituuion was reported and adopted. It does not differ much in spirit fact from the constitution which governed the Savage party heretofore, except that the Chief Executive is endowed with a little more pow- er in the selection of his officers than he enjoy- ed under the former constitution. The salary of ©. E. FP. B remains the same as last year. Viz., $2,540, The Convention then went into the election of C. EF. B., which was taken, as Tequired by the constitution, by ballot. Mr. Savage received 216 yotes—20 scattering. On the second ballot the delegates voted as a untt for Mr.S., who was then declared elected. Mr. Savage on being sent for by the Convention at- tended, and bemg informed of nis election, mae & speech expressive of bis thanks. He said his Fesignatior was offered in perfect good faith and that he was still anxious to be relieved from the responsitilities of office. ‘The Con- Yention refused to permit bis uame to be with- drawn, and Mr.S., after consultation with a committee. consented to remain in office—only, however, unti) a more perfect union still should have been effected. A committee was appointed to draft an address to the Irish peo- wae at bome. ard all over the world, detailing the efforts made for bringing about an unioa, and fixing the blame of partial failure on the aboulders of those who refused to join.

Tue PResipEnT ap CommiastoneR ROL- LINs.—The published statement that the Pres- ident is investigating charges against Com- missioner Rollins, and that several grave charges have been preferred against that officer, is without any foundation. No charges against Mr. Hollins are before the Pres- ident. Several days ago a disappointed office- seeker made accusations against Mr. Rollins to the President, but the President simply re- plied if he knew of any unlawfal acteon the part of the Commissioner the proper place to yeport them was at the office of the Inter- nal Revenue Solicitor. The President de- clares that he has no occasion whatever for suspicion of Mr. Rollins, bat believes him to be honest and upright, and his Motive in removing him from office was not based on any want of confidence in his integrity. Mr. Bincktey, the sulicitor of the internal Revenue Department, has not re- ceived from the President any instructions to hunt up charges against Commissioner Rol- lins, and the visit of the Solicitor to New York was prompted by information | Avenel,” Teceived that certain frauds on the Department were being perpetrated in that city, Rence it was his duty to investigate such frauds. Several of the personal enemies of Commissioner Rollins are doing all in their power to trump ap charges against him, and it is said that these persons are the cause of all the accusations againt the Commissioner. THaT MANrrEsto NeEDED—The result of the election in Vermont will doubtless canse the Democratic leaders to hurry up the pro- mulgation of the Rosecrans marifesto, It is evident that the Northern people have taken the alarm from the inflammatory utterances of Forrest, Toombs, Cobb, and other Southern leaders. The Rosecrans manifesto, designed to show that itis all a mistake, and that Forrest, Cobb, and the rest do not represent the real sentiment of the South, cannot be issued a mo- ment too soon, if the Democracy wish to repair the mischiet done. - MvstTERED OvT.—Special orders No. 206, just issued by direction of the Secretary ot War, musters out of the service Brevet Brig.

Mr. Erastus Brooks is dis to go to Congress trom the First District, but at the Democratic Convention on Staren Island, on Monday, there was a split. and two candidates for Congress were nomi- nated. Mr. Erastus Brooks, who is a brother ofthe Hon. James Brooks. was the candidate of the seceders.

Mot seems to be assured of Bis nomination in the Fifth District. Besides that be bas withdrawn his bets in favor of Gen. Grant, which gave offence, there is no strong opponent in the field. The Herald says there is strong opposition to Mr. S. S. Cox in the Sixth District. Mr. Jobn W. Chanler, of the Seventh District. will probably lose his seat. Charfes G. Cornell, Bryan Reilly, Thomas J. Creamer, and Harvey Calkins, are the principal candidates of the and one of the<e, most likely Mr. Cornell, will be selected. In the eghth Mr. James Brooks is sup- posed to be safe for another nomination, though there are gentlemen waiting for his piace. The ninth district is conceded to Fernando Wood.

FRAUDS UPON THE POST OFFICE DE- PARTMENT. A Quarter of a Million Tramsaction—Ar- rests im this City—The Washingtonians Discharged by Judge Wy! On the 2ist ult. an item was published in the ‘STAR to the effect that trands to the amount ot $250,000 upon the Post Office Department had been discovered im Buffalo. It was alleged that by the collusion of A. F. Lee, chief clerk of the post office in that city—which is also one of the agencies for post office blanks and supplies— Youchers had been given to the coatractors for blanks—Messrs. Thomas, Howard and John- son—for @ quantity ot blanks which were never furnished. It appears that the contract for furnishing these blanks had been held by these parties for several years, and that some years ago Congress by law provided that theSu- perintendent of Public Printing should farnish the blanks. When the contract expired it was found thatthe Government Printing Office had 80 mach work on hand that the Katpe a: ay me not be done. there, and the consent of De- t being first obtained, the Superinten- lent of Printing continued the contract with the firm above named, who agreed to furnish the blanks at the old rates. Some months since, Mr. Uarhsle, of the Treasury secret service, ‘wrote to the Department that he believed he had struck on the trail of some parties engaged in frauds upon the Post Office Department, and he was requested to follow the matter up, and from time to time the ment was kept ona Lo Beggs few of the officials could ‘eve ‘the frauds were as extensive as he bad intimated. A tew weeks ago the Depart- ment was informed tha: a number of parties being concerned in the frauds; also, that an mdietment bad been found by the of the United States circuit court for the dis- trict of ew at Detroit, against twenty Persons, in different sections of the country, charging them with conspiracy in this city to detraod the Government, Un Monday afternoon a Deputy Marshal ot Michigan arrived here with a certified copy of the indictment, and proceeding to the residence of Jndge Wylie, he made oath that certain par- ties here were parties in the indictment, and Judge Wylie issued a warrant under the jn- diciary act ot 1795, which was placed in the bande of Deputy Marshal Phillips, who with Bailiff W. L. Ross, arrested the following par- ties :—W. O. Redding, yponags: gr gy pated of the Blank agency here, G@. A. Tavenner, Iately of the Sixth Aaditor’s office, Y yp tlre accounts for blanks are settled,) ans m. H. Towers, chief clerk of the Government Print- ing Office. The arrests were made very quiet- ly, and but few persons were aware that there was ied until after the case had been of Aisposed esterday, Mr.S. L. Phillips ay tor Messrs. Tavenner and Redding. and Mr. J. N Oliver for Mr. Oliver. Without going into the merits of the case Judge Wylie discharged the rties, on the ground that an indictment in etroit. charging conspiracy here was ab- surd, and he could not surrender a prisoner here to be taken to another jarisdiction to be tried for an offence committed in this city. Mr, Towers is a well-known resident of the Northern Liberties, and has filled his present [ace vee atthe Government office since its es- ‘blishment with such ability that he has been Tetained by the successive Saperintendents of Public Printing. Mr. Redding, until a few months ago, was the Superintendent of the biank agency here—a position now filled by Mr. Cady. He hails from Delaware, and bas hitberto been above suspicion. Mr. Tavenoer Up to about a year ago was a prominent clerk Of the Sixth ‘Anduer's Office, and for some time pablished the Loudon (Va.) Standard. Although the case bas been dismissed here, these gentlemen considering their reputation at stake express their willingness to abide the results of an investigation here or elsewhere, ComMissioxER ROLLiNs.—There has been considerable stir to-day over the notice re- ceived by telegraph last night by Commissioner Rollins that 2 warrant had been issued tor his arrest for couspiring to defraud the revenue. As the parties with whom he is charged with conspiring are men whose distilleries have been closed by Rollins’ orders, or disgraced officers who have been turned out on his recom- mer.dation, the charge looks upon its face like one trumped up to serve & pu: The President and Secretary McCulloch seem to be really annoyed at the occurrence. and the President sent his Private Secretary this afternoon to Mr. Rollins to explain that the affair was not of his (the President’s) insti- gation, and that he regretted its occurrence. It appears that a person went to the President ‘with statements about certain frauds on the revenue, and was told by him to take the mformation to Solicitor Binckley, as the Proper cficer to imvestigate the subject Brinkley went to New York for that purpose and, it appears, brought himeelf into discredit ‘With those he wished to serve.
