If (he Uninn was worth fighting far it is worth paying tar. The Nation praises the veto message and says: “It goes to the merits of the matter in controversy, and claims for the federal gov ernment the right to use the army in aid of the marshals to protect voters and repress disorders at federal elections, or, In other words, to discharge duties which the Demo cratic theory reserves lo the state govern ment exclusively. We think there can be little doubt that on this issue the Democrats will in the long run be beaten, though they will doubtless owe their defeat largely to the fact that the army is so small. They cannot make it appear that in its present dimensions it is dangerous as a police force; nor can they convince people that the federal government needs no police force to execute the laws.” The troubles in Russia are considered by the New York World as threatening the ex istence of the Czar’s government, unless that absolute ruler is wise iu time. It says that “If we take further into consideration the fact that all the powerful elements of discon tent are grasped and bound together and di rected to a common aim by a secret organiza tion unprecedented in the bistory of revolu tionary movements and led.by men fanatical ly devoted to their cause, gnen of iron will, trained intelligence and indomitable purpose, ta II 1 _aL.a a1 .1__] a MV UVVU wuww VUV VUntIVVB piV|/VUUVk AIB strongly against the decaying machinery ol czardom. If the Government of Alexander If. will not bend in time, it is like to break with a shock which will be felt to the ends of the earth.” Men and Things of the Herald tells this story as a suggestion to the Democratic leaders: When the water was high on one of the western r ivers, a steamboat pilot bluD dered into a false channel and found himse.f land-locked. For a time he was loath to ad* tnlt the misguidance, and kept assuring the captain that there was “a way out” At last the situation became too obvious for denlal The pilot was driven to acknowledge his bad steering. ‘’Captain” he said “there is a way out; but I guess we will have to find it by backing.’’ Govebnob Gabcelon is quoted as saying at Washington that there is no doubt that the next campaign in Maine will be a three' sided one like the campaign of last year, but’ he says “It is going to be a hotter campaign than that of last year or that the State has seen for many years. The Republicans are going to make prodigious efforts to carry Ihe State.” Correct. It may be a comfort to State of Maine men who get fleeced in Boston to learn that a Bostonian has been swindled out of some hundreds of dollars by Canadian confidence men.

Wheeling Sunday Leader: Ocean sponges are said to be a low species of animal. Th's is m questionably true of the human variety which incessantly borrows newspap.-rs. Waterloo Observer: “Pat it in the paper, don’t tell any one wno told yonl” That’s the way a number of people talk, who have an Idea it don’t bnrt an editor to be cursed, cowbidtd and kicked. Danlelsonville Sentinel:—A tiny spider dropped from the ceiling into a sleeping chnrcb membei’s month recently. It went down into the mammoth cavern and palled its web in after it. Another warning against sleepirg in chnrcb. He was nndonbtedly as drunk as a lord, and tbe ground appeared to roll beneath him litre onto the ocean’s restless waves. All at once liejwas seen to reel, endeavor to catch himself, and then sink heavily into a heap on tbe pave ment, and when the by-stacders ran to bis as sistance, be said: “Atsh sheverest shock fan earthquake ever snerienced, ’n I've been on ish coast since ’50. hlutcsh damage done, y’ reck ou?” She was a San Francisco girl, and the other nigbt at about the time when' unfeeling par ents pass through the balls making audible re marks abont the price of gas, she said, “I real); can’t do it, Charlie.

The Courier-Journal gives this love iefter from a young mao who attends all the Monday lectnres: "My Own Dnlcioea—That was a character in a book called Don Quixote.

Do the waters gnsb up from the rhomboids? There is nothing precisely like love (Swedenborg, His Life and Wtilings; London, 1807; Vol. II., pp. 223, 224; see, also, Couj.

Will yon keep it in remembrance of me?” And all this was wasted on a Louisville girl! He had been to see “Pinafore,” says the Norwich Bulletin, and wai rapturonsly im pressed with tbe parting song of Ralph and Josephine, “Farewell, my own, I go to a dun geon cell;’’and as he laboriously navigated homeward, bis thick voice frequently broke tbe sombre quiet of tbe night with “Fare (bic) well, moan, lirum (bic) lif rwell, for alone (bic) goat dnnjuu shell. I (bic) got (bic) jim-jams yell.’’ The approach of a tall prliceman only redoubled his vigor, aDd with tones varying from a shrill yell to a low and muffled maudlin moan, be continued, “So long (bic) moan lif nmylite, fare (bic) well. 1 go (bic) tnngeon sell.

It is especially charged tbet the nigger hez no rites in tbe courts, and that when opposed by a proud Kentucky (Jawcashen he ia crowded to tbe wall, without tbealigbtaat chance (or bia life. To show the utter nonaense uv thia state ment, I give a truthful report uv a case tried afore Square Pettus, justice uv the peece for our township. Simeon Claghorn, ez be calls hliaelf now, tbo he wqz a slave wuost nv that sweet and gllelis saint, Deekin Pogram, wnz a tenant nv the deekin’s and hez bin for two jeers. He agreed to pay the deekin 810 a yeer per aker for the land, and also agreed to bay bis entire snppiies uv that libral and Chriechen man. At tbe eend uv the first jeer thedeekiu took hia en tire crop and brot him in debt snthin like 8400 wich the nigger tried to work ont in tbe winter outtin and gettin ont railrode ties from tha deekin’s wood lot, on wich be hez lived ever since the crooel war deprived him nv bis labor. Tbe next season tbe nigger found bisself in debt about 8800, and he submitted the matter to Joe Bigler, wich la ptaen, and Josef, actin ez bia attorney come down on the inueroent old deekin with a demand for a bill nv items. Jo •ef demandid tbet the nigger hev a kerect iO count uv the grain and stuff wich be hed turned over to the deekin. Also an itemized account nv tbe supplies wich the deekin hed furnished tbe nigger, tbet it might be made manifest ez to how the account stood. Tbe deekin wnz enraged. “Wbyshoodnot my wora oe taaen agin a niggers?" be de manded. 1 never wnz called npon (or any thing nv the kind afore. It is an outrage!” Bat ez Josef sood him afore Sqnire Pettai For tbe fall amount av the crops wich the deek io hed taken, the good old maa waz font to de« trade hisself by comm into ooort agin a Etblo* Dian. It rang his sole, bat be submitted, ez we til hev hed to do since the Lioooin dynasty. I helped the deekin oat The two seasons’ stops footid np $2000, and I didn’t pay any at* tensbuu to the deekin’s books. I made oat e bill cbargia the nigger with $400 worth uv ba son, $600 worth av flower, $400 worth av males ind tbe balance, to make his claim good, in ■ilk dresses for bis wife, aod sich other goods sz sejested tbeirselves to a fertile imagiaashan. That bill I presentid afore tbe jostle, wich re ceeved it with the gravity av a grand chancel lor. Tbe good old deekin swore to his account ez be hed it made, wioh clearly eatabltahed the Fact thet the nigger owed him $1200. The nigger presentid another account wich brot the deekin in debt to him suthin like $600. Joe Bigler remarked thet the daekin hed hed bis sware, and thet the nigger abood be pat on to the stand to aware to his statement. I protestid. "Is e nigger, a inferior bein, to come into this court over Vtch Jostle is sap posed, flggeratively, to be hoverin, and hev his testimony taken agin one nv tbe proud Cawca shun race. "Square!” exclaimed tbe deekin in agony, am i, a white man, to hev a nigger brot into conrt to rob me? Ef my bill ain’t big enoff to offset hisn aod bring him in debt to me I kin eaaily amend it. Don’t let this gross lojnstis be dan!” It waz a critiole and sollnm moment. Ob the decision nv Sqaare Pettm hang the fate nv Kentucky. It wuz a soopreme moment. One minit nv indecisbno, one mlnll faltrin, and the white race nv Kentucky lay grovelin at tbe feet uv the inferior Afrikto, and we wnz in chanes forever. Sqaare Pettus wnz, fortnoitly, ekal to the emergency. Riain in his sect and atiddyio bis self at the desk in front nv him, be said that he knowd the eyes nv Kentucky waz onto him, and that Kentucky sbood never be disap pinted. "I know sntbin uv this ease,” sed the square, sipping a sip nv Bascom’s best, wich he bed sent over to him in a quart bottle, "afore it come into conrt I immejitly anticipated that this plaoetif wood demand to be swore, and that on this joodiehel arena tbe inferior Afrikin ard tbe sooperlor Oawceshnn wood meet in a final conflict. I prepared myself. I went end got a man wich cood read, and hed him go throo the statoots nv the Slate nv Kentucky, paseed prior (wicb, ez I am informed, means before) the late nnholy croosade. I fonnd there a slatoot wich perbibits the takin nv tbe teetimony nv a nigger in a conrt nv jaslis, wicb this Is.

I stand by my State "Bat my wife never hed a silk dress, nor anythin bat a caliko one”, howled the nigger. “It don’t make no difference wat yoo say." replied the justis. "The deekin, wich it a Oawkashnn swarea that yoor wife hed foot silk dresses uv him, and ezyookau’tba allow d to sware at ell, there ain’t no teetimony agin bizzen.

Josef laffed and left tbe comt much to tbe square’s releef wich continn-red; “I may say, however, that there may be no misnndentandin, that lets indivijile, and not ita court, will shoot eny white kuss that dares .to kum into this court and aware for a nigger.” Aod that sturdy old Spartan cocked hit dabble barrelled shot-guo and sot down. ‘1 may tz well drside the oaae here aod now,’’ sed the square, after a moment’s thot. "Verdict for tbe plaintiff, aod the oonatable will immejilly go for the defendant and make him put up everything he’s got for the oosts,” The bill nv coats wnz immejitly made oat, and the constable rushed oat to the mizreble wretch’s house, and took wat furniture he hed. Now what did this oograteful Digger do?

Democrats may be pleamd to find the follow ing notice from the editors of the Okoiona Southern States, which appear in the new Greenback organ in Washington: Tbe Southern States newspaper was founded on the 16th of March, 1872, by Captain James A Glanville sad Oolooel A. T. Harper. Both were Confederate officers in the late civil war. The States stands to-day precise ly where it stood on tbe 16th of Marob, 1872. It has never swerved from the utterances in its initial issues. It baa at all times and under all circumstances, advocated tbe prluciplee of state sovereignty and oalled for the unconditional repeal of tbe fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. It baa always been recoaoized from first to last as the Democratic ?aper by the press, politicians and the people. he charge that either of the editors of the States Is a “carpet-bagger, in the tense in which that term ia used and nnderatood, is a miserable subterfuge aod shallow device that will, in the very nature of ihtngi be expoaed and recoil upon tbe demagogues who invented aod dupes who circulate it. We bide'oar time. Tbe charge that either of tbe editors of the States is in the pay of the Republican party is flatly contradicted by their whole political record that it is simply beneath tbe dignity of a denial. A.

London, May 4.-Castle Chronicle’s final opin ion of the boat race tomorrow is that Hawdon will make the pace pretty hot at the commencement. He has quite a habit of dashing off at 40 to 42 strokes per minute. He will unquestionably work for the entire distance, but it is feared Hanlan’s long sweeping stroke may finally wear Hawdon down, though the struggle will be severe. Betting resorts are crowded to-day, and al bough Hawdon’s performance to-day created a favorable impression, he receded in the betting. 7 to 4 on Hanlan wis pretty freely accept ed in the evening, but later 50 to 25 freely laid. The latest in inspired quarters is that Hanlan will put on a pull at the si art so as to take matters compara tively easy after the first mile.

CHARLOTTE THOMPSON. Tonight Miss Charlotte Thompson wiil ap. peat at Portland Theatre as Jaoe Eyre in a dramatization of Charlotte Bronte’s novel. List season Miss Thompson gave one of the most finished and powerful representations of the character possible and for that reason we wish oar theatre .going pub'ic Dot to fail to see her assumption of the title-role tonight Miss Thompson’s support Is well spoken of by our exchanges. W. H SHERWOOD. Mr. W. H. Sherwood made his debnt as a pianist at Rossini Hall last Saturday evening to an audience entirely incommensnrate to his merits. Mr. Sherwood proved himself one of the most brilliant pianists Portland has ever listened to. We claim to be a mnsical city. We have several musical clnbsthat pride them selves on their musical taste and culture. We have a large Dumber of teachers of the piano in proportion to oar population, and a corres pondingly large number of pupils. To listen to each an interpreter of the leading Composers is one ef the most valuable lessons teacher or i pnpil could receive. To pay li)e cost of such a lesson is woith a little economizing in some thing else and we regret that there were not more who took this view of the recital It can not be atged that few knew Mr. Sherwood’s real merits for the Press had been harping on them for almost a week previous. While Mr. Sherwood is uot a Rubinstein or Von Bulow he is, as we have already stated, a man of artistic judgment, possessing fire and enthusiasm, u admirable tecbicqne, and a re markable memory. He not only renders fortissimo passages with great power, but his themes are always beautifully shaded, and in piano passages he exhibits a great delioacy of interpretation. His rendering of Beethoven’s great Eb concerto was grand; his playing of H.ndel’s "Fire Fogne” something long to be remembered, while the Chopin selections were beautifully executed aud full of poetic sensibil ity. It was a pleasure to watoh his hands in "Toccata," and the Liszt arrangement of the Fau»t waliz; to see the rare beauty of his touch, the intelligence and clearness of his con ception. While, £8 has been said, he lacks somewhat in magnetism, he possesses a suf ficiency of other qualifications to stamp him a great, p ayer. Mrs. E. Humphreys Allen furnished the vocal portion of the entertainment. Sbe has a a good soprano voice, we should say almost a mezzo-soprano, and she suDg the prayer from Iter Freischutz very well. Her enunciation is bad aud sbe has a way of taxing breath that is rather unpleasant in a small ball. We have not for some time past had any Bt.sfon vo calists brought to Portland any better, if as good, than those we could bave provided hete. MISS HAWES’S CONCERT. Quite a number of tickets are already taken for the lecture at Rossini Hall, Thursday even ing next, by Miss Charlotte Hawes. The Bos ton Advertiser of May 1st says, "Her dialect is good, her facial expression fine, and her voice melody. It is a delight simply to listen to h»r.” Mrs. Faooie Hawes will sing "Dove Sono” by Mozart, "Slumber Soug” by Mohriog, “3* vourueen Dreiish” and "Venetian Gondola Song” by Stigelli. NOTES. The last performances of "Whims” and "Civil War” were given at Mnsio Hall and Portland Theatre respectively Saturday uigbt. The former company opens at the Howard A then mum. B.isinn. ronipht. THE CARRIE WINSLOW. Verdict in Furor of the Plaintiff. In Match, 1878, as the brig Carrie Winslow, owned by J. S. Winslow and others, of this city, was entering the harbor of New York, she was rnn into by tbe ship British America, be longing in Windsor, N. S., and sank. Tbe owners of the Winslow libelled the ship, and a decision baa just been rendered in New Yoik holding the ship liable to the owners of the Carrie Winslow for tbe ship’s fall value. Tbe British America waB valued at $80 000. The Carrie Winslow was valued at $20 000, and her oargo at $150,000. The ship at the time she was libelled gave bonds to await tbe decision of tbe Courts. Personal. By an unfortunate error it was stated in Sat urday’s Press that Mrs. N. S. Littlefield of Bridgton bad deceased. Mrs. Littlefield is re ported very ill bat we trast she may live many more years, not. only for her own sake, bnt for tbat of ber family and many friends. Bev. F. H. Eveletb, son of James H. Eve. letb of Dnrbam, who bas bsen a missionary to Burmah for the past five yeais, is on his way home and is expected to arrive this mouth. His wile, vs bo accompanied him, is qaite unwell and was ordered home by the resi dent physician. Hon. John W. Sanborn if Wolfboro is prom inently mentioned as a candidate for general superintendent ot tbe Eastern railroad. Tbe correspondent of the Herald says: “Dar ing ber trip to Florida, Mrs. Clafiin visited Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe at her place, ‘Mandarin’, on the Sc. John’s river. Mr. and Mrs. Stowe have their twin daughters with them. Their only son has, I Lear, accepted tbe charge of an Episcopal parish in a remote part of Maine, and, after his marriage to Miss Monroe of Cambridge, Mass., which is fixed for next week, he and his bride will reside there.’’ Miss Monroe is a sister of Mr. C. Kirk Monroe, formerly connected with journalism in this city, and now on the staff of the New York Times. Mr. Shaw, if the Falmouth Hotel, will model a bust of Dr. Tewksbury. Tbe doctor i improving in health and bas gone on a trip to Boston and New York. Capt. Edwatd Mulligan, first mate of tit Forest City, with rare generosity has resigned his place in favor of Capt. Dooghty. tbe second mate, because he considered Capt. Doughty needed the position more and the company had decided a rednet'on of force necessary. Miss Mary Ellen O’Donnell of Lewiston, Who haB been filliDg the position of organist at tbe Catholic Cathedral for tbe past eight mouths, bas letdeied her resignation and re turned home. While organist at tbe Caihe dral Miss O’Donnell endeared herself to all tbe members Of tbe choir by her genial and lady like manners and all those with whom she be came acqoaiuted. Mr, George Gorman, organist of S’. Vkcett’i church, Soath Boston, has, at the invitation of Bishop Healy, accepted tbe position of ipgauitt a the Cathedral of tbe Immaculate Conception, vir. Gorman assumed charge yesterday and ac quitted himselt very creditably. Geo. W. Fifield, a resident of Cambridge, Mass., for more than forty years, and Who held several important t dices in that city, died Saturday. He was a native of Fryebnrg in this state.

The community received a sudden shock yes terday morning in the news of the sadden death of Mr. Albert Smith from apoplexy. Mr. Smith has bean out of health for the past two years, and this spring he made a proposition to the members of the firm with which be was oonDccted—Smith, Tibbetts Co., hardware— to buy him out. He bad the feeling that be would like to buy a place in the country, and that the change from bnsiness cares wonld have a beneficial effect upon his health. His part ners accepted the proposition, and Mr. Smith sold out his interest. After he had disposed of his interest, however, he complained that he felt lost without something to do, aiter his ac tive business life, and he thought of going into partnership with Mr, B. Barnes, Jr, the well known insurance agent. This plan fell through, and last week Mr. Smith had about completed arrangements to go into partnership with Mr. Leonard Jordan in the gentlemen’s furnishing goods business. Up to Saturday night Mr. Smith appeared as well as usual, land on that evening spent several hoars in Mr. Jordan’s store. Yesterday morning when Mr. and Mrs. Smith awoke, Mr. Smith remarked he had slept better than usual. His wife said she would go down stairs and see about breakfast, and would call him when it was ready. Soon after she retarned to call him and found her husband lying on the floor, with only bis shirt and ironsers on, and apparently dead. She roused her son, who slept in the next room, and called the neighbors, who lifted him on to the bed, and summoned Hr. Brooks. It was found that Mr. Smith had died from a sudden attack of apoplexy. Mr. Smith was born in Belgrade, and when quite a young man moved to St. Albans, when he went into business with his father. In 1857 he moved to Portland, and became clerk in the hardware house of H. Warren Lancey. The firm afterwards became Haines, Smith Cook. After the fire this firm went into Qalt’s block, from whence they removed to the bnilding on Middle street, Mr. Cook having retired. Six years ago the firm became Smith, Tibbetts Co. Mr. Smith was a membtr of the Common Council In 1867, and later in 1877-78. At the time of his death he represented ward 3 in the Board of Aldermen, was a director in the Blanchard Boiler Co., and a Mason. He was an extremely amiable and sympathetic man, and besides a widow and son, will leave a large circle of friends to mourn bis less. It is under stood Mr. Smith leaves his family in comforta ble circumstances, and bad a life policy for $5,000. The State Agency. OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE CO.H SITTEE. A Small Portion of the Liquors Refused, but no Reflection* Cast Upon Hr. Chase. Tbe committee of tbe Executive Council, Consisting of Messrs. Monroe of Tbomsston, Cbase of Portland, Brown of Fairfield and Fogg of Lewiston, who were appointed to ex amine tbe State Liquor Agency, were iu ses sion at the Falmouth Hotel Friday and Satur day. aud ou Saturday drew up the following official report, which will be submitted: The committee of tha Council to whom was referred tbe investigation of tbe present condi tion and quality of the liqnors in tbe Stary Agency, visited Portland un tbe 2lst day of April, and proceeded at once to discharge the duty assigned them. They visited the Agency and began the investigation as best they could They found it difficult to determine the quality of tbe liquors by any invoice or analysis previ ously made. There were in the ageDcy a large amount of various kinds of liqnors esiimated by thwAgent to be of the value of $12,000. In order ta arrive at curiec* conclusions the com mittee fonnd it necessary to call in tbe aid of praotical and scientific men. They engaged a practical liqaor dealer from Boston, who made several tests. They also caused samples of a greater portion of the liquors to be analyzed by two state assayists, and tbe committte were pleased to learn that tbe three gentlemen thus employed as experts came substantially to the same conclusion iu regard to tbe quality of the various liquors subjected to their examination and analysis. The committee availing them selves |of the facts thus developed determined that there was in the agency a quantify of whiskey amounting to about 14 barrels and a quantity of brandy amounting 10 about 8 barrels, which would not stand the test, aud the committee were.of the opinion that said liqnors not being such as tbe law cox templaied should be kept for sale, should not be taken by Mr. Bigelow, the newly appointed agent. Iu addition to the foregoing named impure liquors tbe committee found in tbe agency 9 barrels cf liquor called M. rum who n they aid not feel safe in passing upon, as the report of one of the assayists indicated iis bad character. They therefore determined that said M. rum should be subjected to a futtber and mote specific analysis by compeieut assay ists to be selected by Messrs. Chase and Bige low, and that said rum should be accepted or rejected according to tbe results of said analy sis. The committee at their first visit were in formed by ti e State Agent that the aforesaid whiskey had not been essayed and he could not vouch ferns purity. Tbe committee as tbe result of their obser vation and experience iL|ihis examination have Come 10 tbe conclusion that it is nut safe for the State agent to bay on stamp goods, for one stamp l qnors are rectified liqnors wbicn Dave been now or lesstampey5 dlawSwM STATE OF MAINE.

THE FBESS. [From Ca‘sell’8 Magazine.] What Became of ‘‘Sam.” It was generally supposed that Sam was' what is called “deficient.-’ As to his own family, they were sure of it: at all events, they treated him as if he was so. Not that they were unkind to him; on the contrary, they were all very fond of “poor old Sam,’’ but it seemed to be taken for grantea that Whatever he said was not worth noticing, and almost everything he did was to be made fun of more or less. He was, in fact, the family butt, though shafts were, as a rule, tipped with good nature so as Dot to hurt his feel ings. Hardly ever did he attempt to say or do anything iu serious earnest, since almost everything he did or said was treated as a sort of joke. There was one exception to this. Mothers always know best how to deal with the weak In the flock, and Sam’s mother never laughed at him, and never despaired of him. “What is to become ot Sam?” his father would say; “he’ll never earn his own living,” and his mother would quietly answer: “Wait a bit, my dear, there is more in him, perhaps, than we think, but it wants to be drawn out, and I doubt if we are acting wisely in laugh ing at him as we do.” She said “we,” poor soul, but that was only her discreet way of putting it. Now, Sam had a sister, Mary, of whom he was especially fond. Perhaps it was because she was nearest to his age, but It was more likely because she placed a little more confi dence in him than the others did; it wasn’t much, but It was more thau he^gut from any of the rest. He wonld do anything for Mary, and when a certain Mr. St. Leger iu the neighborhood took a fancy to her, it was amusing to see how Sam resented the engagement. This Mr. St. Leger had lately come in the neigh borhood—no one knew where from; but he had plenty of money aud very agreeable manners, and was a general favorite in the Frera family. Sam, however, never liked him from the first, and when at length he be came Mary Frere’s accepted suitor, Sam’s aversion to him became intense. The day was fixed tor the wedding, and the Sunday had arrived when, in deference to Mary’s particular wish, though very much against Mr. Su Leger’s inclination, the baous were to be published in church. The Freres were iu their place—a great square pew in front of the pulpit. The names were read oot in due course. Mary was recovering from the electric shock of hearing them; the villagers were interchanging glances, some even cautiously rising a little to peep into the D'juaLC pcvyj nucij c* twin. u2 eodly&wGwil ■W OR GOUT w ACUTEOR CHRONIC A 3ALfiCYrLIC#| SURE CURE.
