At a very large republiean caucus held in this town this eventing a rich an’ extraordinary scene was enacted, in which General N. P. Banks was one of the principal characters, and a band of politicians who oppose bis re- election to Congress were the other, Tho caucus was eld ostensibly forthe simple election of delegates to attend the Convention of the “ixth Congressional district, which was last year represented by General Banks; but {t was known several days provious that a little more than this would be done—that, in fact, an attempt would be made to bind the delegates elected to oppose Banks by bringing against him a change concern- ing his personal habits in general, and in the city of Portland on a certain occasion in particular. Peading the election of delegates, George W. Copeland, former law partuer of Gooch, late Naval Officer in Boston, who is the opposing candidate, said:— It is well known to about every in the hall to the re-nomination of General Banks. I have stated wane Oe on ae or four days, on many occasions, some the reasons why purely Polltieal objections: hich ta common with many purely political wi in common many others in the district 1 share, I to General Banks, because his moral character such that it is not creditable to the district mor safe to the party to return him to I understand that Genoral Banks is in town. (Tremendous gieeine) T am not su: at these cheers for General Banks. have cheered as loud as anybody in this hall for him, and as I have understood that General Banks explicitly denies the statement tbat I have made and which many others have made, that, in common with other acts of immorality, he bas been guilty of giving himself up toa condition of shameless intoxication in the olty of Port. land recently, AsI have stated that, and as Gonoral Banks explicitly denios it, and as I believe that I can furnish the proofs, and as I would do no injustice to him, and as General Banks courts an investigation, as I heard he was to b» here, I was about to say that I de- rire to make th's charze here in the presence of General Banks, and therefore I request that if he is in town he will come into this hall. (Hooting, cheering, hissing, yelling and confusion.) At the end of this speech up jamped William W. Whit- comb, a personal friend of the General, and movod that | committee of two be immediately chosen to wait upon General Banks and request his presence at the caucua, This motion was vehemently opposed by some and as strongly favored by others in short, excitable speeches, which were delivered amid great confusion and disorder, I Finally, the motion was lost, and one gentleman pro- posed that the caucus rovolvo itself into a grand inquist- tion, This proposition was received only with derision. Ane other propositions was one that if Copoland would bring forth the charvres and the proofs definitively before the caucus, and if the friends of the General could not refute them then they would most willingly send for General Banks; but Mr. Copeland stubbornly refused to say anything further unles? his request were acceded to, and challenged them to bring in General Banks, and de- clared further that if Goneral Banks denied the charges, then and there he had another cause to present that would be approved by ail fair dealing and honorable men in the district. More discussion ensned, and the matter somewhat subsidod, only for a time though; for It was brought up suddenly and squarely by another motion to appoint a committee to wait on General Banks. When the discussion was at its height Dr. James Pierce eprung to his fort and excitedly said, “{ will take the responsibility to go for General Banks,’ and left the This action was greeted with great applause. After a half hour's absence the doctor retarned with General Banks, The evtrance of the General was tho signal for most enthusiastic applavse, cheering and other demon- strations of delight. Men yelled and secre: throw up their hata, their arms and their bandkereb! yo agecen him and the meeting substantially in follow- ne words :— Tunderstood this forenoon that General Banks was coming to Malden to-night, and that it was expected by the gentleman who cave me the information that one especial r-ason was that some steps might be taken to- prem pret. ui before the poople some of the charges which have been mado against him in this dis- trict, It was eald, and I was taucht to translate from the simple Latin, that “the mouse fa je ioe seen the lion."’ I feel, sir, standing here being obliged to take the posltion I now do, somewhat that! am the mouse, and General Banka the lion.

The General then took bis rat, while the wildest en- thasiasm prevailed. There then ensued an excited col- loquy between the aceuser and accused. Copeland said— General Banks has said that Tam not his equal, The General here interrupted him by saying that If certain cire umstances occurred, the people here would say you were pot my equal. Copeland said—Then I wish to declare before God that in one respect I am the superior of the General, When IT eay that these charres are trae, and when General Banks denies them, to his face I say it that he utters a del berate falsehood. In concluding, he said that, z occasion to visit Portland, he bad inquired about the improper conduct of General Banks, and he was . by national repubtieans, mon who stand ae high as avy in Massachusetts, that the stories circulated against the General's conduct were true, and that the legal lence to sustain them was overwhelm ing. These statements were not made by copperheads, but by first class national republicans, and were gener: ally talked of in Portland, He then submitted this ition:—That General Ranks shall name a gsntle- man of unquestionable standing in the community, I will name another; these two shall namo a third; these as fully as a iy deem necessarv, and make their report on the result to the convention in this district. I ask noth. ing more, and would like to know if General Banks will accept the proposition, General Banks rephod:—I object to this proposition because I have no fesue with him (Copeland). I am above that, Under no circumstances would I come bere to answer anything that he may have to say asto my character. I accept of no proposition from him whieh places me on a level with him. 1 come hereto meet you, gentlemen of the Sixth district. I am r sible to you for my public and private charao- ter. relations with you to which I am always ‘ound to respond. I donot accept the doctrine that a ive is a public character, and has no private relatioug with his private constituents. I acknowledg® that my obligations in public and private character are the same to you; and when I claim yoursuffrages I shall do it because I think I am entitled to your confidence, In this matter, I say to you that any charge that is made against me is an infamous, atrocious falsehood. If my oharactor is to be vindicated by bunting up the declara- tions of men, it ts your business and not mine, I leave the matter with you, Mr, Copoland bore said that he disclaimed any per- sonal animosity. Whereupon General Ranks said:—I do not charge you ‘with that, and I don't care whether you havo or not, Copeland then further said that he was right, and he was bound to stand where he did, whether he received hisses or applause. He niso said that if General Banks declined the proposition, he wonld satisfy any gentie- man who would go to Porland and investizate the case, The matter here rested, and the caucus proceeded to business, not, however, with great harmony. Later in the evening, by request, General Banks made a third speech. The meetmg oecupted about four hours, and was all throngh rich and lively in the extreme. The popular belief as to the truth of the charges against General Banks ts about equal, but the chances are that he wilt bo renominated at the convention on ‘Tuesday. The delevates re-elected at this meeting were instructed to go for him first, last and every time. CANADA. SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE NEW YORK HET\LD.

The Largest Dock of the Steamer Morning i ‘The Erie Basin Dock Company formally opened their mammoth dry dock, situated at the foot of Elizabeth street, South Brooklyn, on Saturday tast, in the presence Of a large concourse of spectatora. Tho groat necossity that has for so long atime existed in the accommoda- tions offered to the shipping intorest of the port of New York for the docking and repairing of vessels of heavy tonnage has always been a serious inconvenience to this city, and the Erie Basin Dock Company have done « public service in building #0 largo a dock, from which they will undoubtedly reap handsome benefits, The company was formed in 1964, wiih a capital of $700,000, with liberty to increase to $1,000,009, Twenty acres of land, mostly under water, were procured on Elizabeth street, near Van Brunt, and on the Sth of July, 1864, the work was commonced by building a coffer dam, for the purpose of keeping out the water from the onclosure for the construction of the dock, By the 6th of September, 1866, the dock was completed, the gatehead floated to its place, and the part of the coffer dam at the entrance to the dock removed, The dock is of wood, secured by iron bolts, with « Jongth on top of 600 feet, and 476 feet at the bottom. There are two grooves for the floating gate, one fifty foot further ont than the inside one. Tho width ia 120 fect on top, and sixty-one feet at the bottom, while the gate is ninety fost wide; the depth is twenty-four fect with a depth of water ai high tide of eighteen fost, and feet more water can be pumped in after the gate is closed, #0 that a vessel _caa be securely placed on the stocks, Six thousand round P ncgl were used in the work, from ten to twenty-five feet in iongth, and 5,000 of solid running pilos in tho dam. The foundation of the dock is of solid wood, of which 20,000 cubic foet have been ured. The total amount of wood used in the construction is 150,000 cubic fest, The flood gate is ninety fect long, twenty-five feet wide, and twenty-four deep, and whea two fect floats as a boat, and a windlass on it is run by the pumping engine, so that it almost works itseif At each side and the upper end of the dock the descent is by steps nine inches wide by eleven tread, so that to reach any of the vessel inthe dock ia very easy. From the pam nye culvert to a well fifteen feet in diameter and five feet below the bottom of the dock, From this dock two cuiverts run to the pumps, which are Hibbard’s centrifu- ge each throwing 30,000 lope of water per minute rough other culverts to water outside the docks, A borizontal engine of one hundred horse power, with a gear wheel sixteon feet in diameter, the pumpe, and the cogs on this gear wheel aro made of maple wood and work against iron cogs on wheels three feet in diameter connecting with both pumpe, either of which can bo used at will, Suction pumpa thirt inches in diamoter are used.
