Centaur LINIMENTS THE GREAT PAIN RELIEVING and curative remedies have already worked tlieir way into every hamlet whore the English lan guage is spoken. That the reputation of and demand for such remedies as tlieso are, should extend and increase, could not be other wise". THERE IS NO PAIN, soreness or swelling which they will not alleviate. There are but exceptional eases of constitutionat humors aud distorted joints, which they do no cure, and nono they wijl not bcueiit. They arc SOOTHING, absorbing and emollient. They EXTRACT THE PAIN from and heal burns and scalds without scars. For RHEU MATIC AFFECTIONS, pains in the back, stiff joints,wounds, strains and eruptions, they act with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. These preparations are of two kinds, the FAMILY and the ANIMAL Liniments. Being univer sally adapted to the external ailments of man aud beast, the name of the HALF-HORSE and HALF-MAN Centaurs was naturally at tached to them. They perform cures never be fore effected by any remedy. Undoubtedly more of them are sold than of all other lini ments, ointments, oils, embrocations; plasters aud so-called pain-killers combined. The "WHITE Centaur Liniment cures Rheu matism, Sciatica, Lumbago and Tic doul ourux. IT RELIEVES Neuralgia and all kinds of pain. IT HEALs wounds, sores, galls and pois onous bites. IT CURES Itch, Pimples and Salt Rheum. IT SUBDUES inflammation and pain. IT CURES broken breasts and sore nipples. BOILS, FELONS, ETC., are rendered near ly painless, CONTRACTED CORDS and stiff joints are limbered. Mbs. L. Kirby, 800 Eighth Avenue, N.

SEMI-ANNUAL STATE CONVENTION —OF— UEFOKJW CLUBS OF MAINE —AT— Lewiston, Wednesday and Thursday, De cember 3 and 4, 1870. The semi-annual Convention of the Reform Clubs of Maine will assemble at Lewiston Dec. 3rd and 4th, 1879, at 10 o’clock A. M. It is earnestly hoped that every clubiutho State will be fully represented, and let those clubs who cannot he represented by delegates send reports by letter to the Convention. It is the earnest desire to make this Convention the most profitable one ever held in the State, and to renew our faith and strengthen each other in this glorious work, and the upholding of our principles, “Non-political, non sectarian and non-prosecuting,” “Charity for all and malice towards none.” The Railroads have reduced their rates of fare as follows:—Maine Central, one far® for the round trip: Grand Trunk, one fare for the round trip; Portland Ogdensburg, one fare for the round trip; Portland Rochester, one fare for the round trip, return tickets on this road to ho furnished by the Secretary of the Convention; Portland Mach:as Steamboat «0o., reduced rates. Delegates will call for return tickets at their re spective stations except on the Portland Roches Itl VI l^ViVU Hi uurai VII, President of State Committee. JOHN F. STANLEY, Secretary. The Message. The President’s Message begins like a Thanksgiving proclamation and ends like the report of a school committee. The greater portion between is given to a plea for civil service reform by commission, a strong and well-considered plea. The case is admirably presented from the President’s stand-point, and the forcible arguments he advances are shrewdly a d temperately sta ted. Perhaps they would have more weight had they been preceded by action; for the people, whether justly or not, have become possessed of the idea that the policy of the administration in regard to the civil service has been weak, vacillating and inconsistent in the extreme. It behooves the President to bear in mind the homely proverb that fine words butter no parsnips. It should be said for the message that it is manly and outspoken throughout. The President speaks firmly and frankly of all the topics which he treats. His discussion of the financial question is wise and timely. He recommends as speedy an extinguish ment of the public debt as is practicable, and thinks the over-duo demand notes of the government should be withdrawn as speedily as consistent with the public interests. He also supports the recommendation of the Secretary of the Treasury in regard to the limitation of the silver coinage, urging upon Congress the danger of establishing the sin gle standard if tlio mints are kept at work striking off the standard silver dollars. The President correctly interprets the les son of the year’s elections as a warping that the people will insist upon universal securi ty and freedom in the exercise of the elec tive franchise. The summary of the reports of heads of Departments gives gratifying ev idence of good work done. New England at least will be pleased to learn that the De partment of State is seriously engaged in an attempt to finally settle the much-vexed Fishery question. As for the rest it is pleasant to be officially assured that we are at peace with the world, “Indians untaxed excepted,” even though official communica tions with Greece havebeen broken off. Philadelphia Times; “The anti-Ma sonic fraud of 1838-9 made Pennsylvania Liemocrauc ior years mereaiier; mu xvepuu lican fraud against the Democrats in Louisi anna in 1870 made that state Democratic without organized opposition; the Democrat ic fraud against Mr. Head itf New Hamp shire make that state Republican and Mr. Head its governor, and the proposed Demo cratic fraud in Maine, if consummated, will justly annihilate the Democracy of that state. In politics, as in law, the touch of fraud should be death, and the party that defends or excuses fraud is unworthy the trust of a free people.” Colonel Brownlow, son of the famous Parson Brownlow, says the Union men of the South hold that the Government in a time of peace is as safe in the hands of the men who defended it as it was in their hands in a time of war, and adds that “how ever loyal reconstructed rebels may be now, their loyalty as compared with that of the Union men of the South when war was fla grant is as a whisper to the roar of a Spring time.” _ Some inquisitive one in Chicago has been questioning prominent Democrats as to their Presidential preferences. Ex-Senator Doolittle favors Seymour and Hendricks. Carter Harrison’s preferences are the same. Henry M. Sheppard declares for the old ticket of 1870. Judge Trumbull declines to express an opinion. It is believed his first choice is Lyman Trumbull. The Froudes and Macaulays of jounalism are devoting themselves to larceny. Their latest exploit is the stealing of a Treasury report and a Presidential message. This they call enterprise. Judged by their standard Tweed was the most enterpris. iug man of his time, and would have made a journalist had he devoted himself to newspapers instead of municipalities. That great constitutional lawyer, secre tary Gove, lias discovered that the Governor and Council must first find out whether there are any returns before they attempt to go behind them. That is, Mr. Secretary Gove would catch his hares before cooking them. The discovery is published in the National Tribune, and is in the form of a letter, not of an official certificate. The enterprising thief who stole the President’s message did not forward it in time for full publication in the Portland papers yesterday morning, though the mos important portion was received and printed. The remainder, consisting chiefly of a sum mary of the recommendations of the heads of Departments, is printed by us to-day. Dexxis Kearxey, who has been convict ed in San Francisco 'of carrying concealed weapons, thinks “it’s a shame if an honest man can’t carry a pistol to defend himself against a lot of hirelings and bummers.” Eonest men will not be grateful for the plea made by their self-constituted champion. ®Professor Proctor has sadly fallen in the estimation of the American people. His prophecies of a starshower are as untrust worthy as predictions of Democratic victory, ^.ike the Democracy he promised to make people see stars, and like them, has broken his promise. George Aegestus Sara has arrived in this country and will at once begin the pub" lication of a serial novel in the London Tele graph under the title “America Revisited.” He promises that it shall be more entertain ing than “The Seven Deadly Sins.” The new Senator from Michigan is de. scribed as “an unobtrusive stalwart.” That is a contradiction. Stalwartism is from its nature obtrusive. Bex Hill’s mouth has got the better of him again and gone off. It was over-loaded, and kicked terribly. The Marquis of Lome denies that the Princess Louise is to join the Catholic church. This is good authority, hut a de nial by the Princess herself would he more satisfactory. The Cincinnati Enquirer gives Grant ar Indian title, and calls him “Old-Mail-in everybody’s-way.” Everybody means all tlic other Presidential candidates. Chicago has been auditing tlic bills, and finds it made $1,000,025 out of the reception to Grant. It is anxious to have him come again. _ The President’s Message. Tho following is tlic conclusion of the Presi dent's Message which wa3 not received yester day in time for publication: DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. The appropriation for judicial expenses,, which heretofore had been made for the department oj justtco in gross, was subdivided at the .last session of Congress, and no appropriation whatever wae made for the payment of the lees of marshals an I their depulies, either in the service of process 01 for the discharge of other duties, and since June 30th these o cers have continued the performance of their duties without compensation from government, taking upon themselves necessary incidental outlays, as well as rendering their own services. In only a few unavoidable instances, has the proper execution of process of the United States failed by reason of the absence of the re quisite appropriation. This course of official con duct on the part ol theee offi ers, highly creditable to their fidelity, was advised by the Attorney Gen eral, who mlormetl them, however, that they would have to rely for their compensation upon the pros pect of future legifclation by Congress. I therefore especially recommend that an immediate appropri ation be made by Congress for this purpose. The acts making the principal appropriat'on lor the de partment of justice at previous sessions have uni formly contained tne following clause: “And for defraying expenses which may occur in the enforcement of the act approved February 28th, 1870, entitled an act to amend an act approved May 3uth, 1870, cntitl d an act to enforce the the rights of the citizens of the United States to vote in the several States of the United Slates, and for other purposes, or any acts amendatory thereof or tup plementary thereto.” No appropriation was made for this purpose for the current year. As no general election for members of Congress occurred the omission was a matter of little practical importance, such election will, however, take piace during tiie ensuing year, and the appropriation made lor the pay of marshals and deputies should be sufficient to embrace the compensation for services they may be i\ quired to perlorm at such ejection. The business of the uprema Courts is, at pres ent, largely in arrears, it cannot be expected that more cases can be decided than are now dis posed of in its aunual session, or that by any assiduity the distinguished magistrates who com pose die court can accomplish more than is now done. In the courls of many of the circuits, also, busi ness has increased to such an extent that the delay of justice will call the attention of Congress to an appropriate remedy. It is believed that all is done m each circuit which can fairly be expected lrom its judicial force. The evils arising from delay are less heavily felt by the United States than by private suitors, as its causes are advanced by die courts when it is seen that they involve the discus remedy suggested by tbe Attorney General is tlie appointment of additional circuit judgeB an 1 tlie creation ol an intermediate court of errors and appeals, wlucli shall relieve the Supreme Court of a part its jurisdiction, while a larger force is also obtained lor the performance of circuit duties. I commend this suggestion to the consideration of Congress. It would seem to afford a complete remedy, and would involve, il ten additional circuit judges are appointed, an expenditure, at tlie present rate oi' salaries, oi not more than $60,000 a year which would certainly he small in comparison with the objects to he attained. POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT. The report of the Postmaster General bears tistimony to the general revival of business throughout tlie country. The receipts of tbe post office department for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1879, were $30,041,982.86,being $764,403.91 more than Ihe preceding year. Tlie amount realized from the sale of postage stamps, stamped envel op. s and postal cards was $761,463.91 more than the preceding year, and $2,387,559.23 more than in 1877. Tlie expenditures of the department were $33,149,899.45, of which $376,4«l.b3 was paid on liabilities incurred in preceding years. The ex penditures during the year were $801,209.77 less than the preceding year. This reduction is to be ntt-ibuted malnlv to the operation of the law passed June 17, 1878, changing the compensation oi postmasters from a commission on tlie value of stamps sold to a commission on stamps cancelled. The amount drawn from the treasury ou avpropriations, in addition lo the reve nues of the department, was $3,131,454.91, being $2,270,197.80 less than the preceding year. The expenditures for the llsc.il year ending Juno 30,1881, are estimated at $39,620,900 and the re ceipts from all sources at $32,210,000, leaving a deficiency to be appropriated for out of the treas ury, of $7,7,0,900. The relation- ol the department with the rail road companies havo been harmonized, notwith standing the general reduction by Congress of then* compensation, bv the appropriations tor special facilities, and railway post office lines have been greatly extended, especially in the Southern States. The interests ol the railway mail service and of the public would be great y* promoted and expenditures could be more readily controlled by the classification oi employes of the railway mail service as recommended by the Postmaster Gen erai, tlie appropriations for salaries, with re spect to which the maximum limit is already lixed bv law, t be made in gross. The Postmaster General reco mends an amend ment of the law regulating the increase of com pensation lor increased service and increased speed on "Stax” routes, so as to enable him to ad vertise lor proposals for such increased service and speed. He also suggests the advantages to accrue to commerce from ihe enactment of a gen eral law authorizing contracts with American bui t steamers carrying ihe American flag lor the transportation of mail between parts of me West Indies and south America at a lixed maximum price per mile, the amount to bo expended being regulated by annual appropriation iu like manner with the amount pa d lor domestic star service. The arrangement made by tbe Postmaster Gen eral and S cretary of tbe Treasury lor the collec tion of tlie duty upun books received in tlie mails from foreign countries lias proved so satisfactory in its practical operation that a recommendation is now m ole that Congress shall extend the provi ei ns oi the act of March 3d, 1876, under w hich this arrangement was made so as to apply to ait other dutiable articles received in tlie mails from foreign countries. INDIAN AFFAIRS. The reports of the the Secretary of the Interior and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs ictting forth tlie state of our relations witli Ihe Indian tribes on our territory, the measures taken to ad anco their civilizaikm aud prosperity amj the progress already achieved by them, wil. be lound of more then ordinary interest. The general eon iine.r. iif mu- Indian uouulution lias been so sausfae tory that the occurrence ot two disturbance-*, which resulted in bloodshed and destruction oi of property, is all the more to be lamented. The history of the outbreak on the White river Ute res ervation, m western Colorada, has become so fa miliar by elaborate reports in the public press that its remarkable incidents need not be stated hero in detail. It is expected tha, the settlement of this difliculty will lead to such arrangements as will prevent further hostile contact between the Indians and the border settlements m western Colorado. The other disturbances occurred at the Mescalero agency in New Mexico, where Victoria, the head of a small band of marauders, after committing many atrocities, being vigorously chased by a military force, made his way across the Mexi8 pupils, sc lecteh from various tribes, and is m lull operation. Arrangements are also made for the education of a number of Ind an boys and girls belonging to tribes on the Paeilic si »pe in a similar manner at Forest Grove, in O egon. The institutions will commend themselves to the liberality of Congress and to the philanthropic munilicence of the Ameri can people. Last spring information was received ot the or ganization of an extensive movement in the West ern States, the object of which was the occupatio by unauth rized persons of certain lands in the Indian territory ceded by the Cherokees to the gov eminent for the purpose of settlement by other Indian tribes. On the 29th of April I issued a proclamation warning all persons against partici pation in sue a an attempt, and, by the co-operation of a military force, the invasion was promptly checked. It is my purpose to protect *the rights oil the Indian inhabitants of that territory to the ml extent of the executive power, but it would be un wise to ignore the fact that a territory so large ami bo fert le, with a population so sparse and so great a wealtn of unused resources, will be found more exposed to the repetition of such at empts as hap pened this year when the surrounding states are more densely Bottled and the wo tward movement of our p pnlation looks still more eagerly toi b esh Ian«l8 to occupy. Under such circumstances the difficulty ot maintaining the Indian territory in its present siate will greatly increa e, and the Indian tribes inhabiting it would do well to prepare lor such a eontingencY. I» therefore, fully approve oi the advice given to them by the Secretary of the interiorou a recent occasion, to divide among themselves in severalty as large a quantity ot their lands as they can cultivate to acquire individual titles in fee, instead of their present tribal ownership in common, and to consider in what manner the balance of lands may be disposed of by the government for their benefit' By adopt ing such a policy they would more certainly secure lor themselves the value of .their possessions, and at the same time promote their progress in civiliza iion ami prosperity, than by endeavoring to perpet uate the [-resent state of things in the territory. THE INDIAN SERVICE. The question whether a change in the control of the Indian service should be made was, in the forty filth Congress, referred to a joint committee of both houses for inquiry and report. In my last annual message 1 expressed the hope that the decision of that question then in prospect “would arrest fur ther agitation of this subject, such agitation being apt to produce a disturbing effect upon the service, as well a» upon the Indians themselves.” Since then, the committee having reported, the question has been decided iu the negative by a vote in the House of Ucpreseutativcs. tor the reasons here stated, and, in view of the fact that further uncer tainty on this point will bo calculated to obstruct much-nee ed legisl tion, to we iken the discipline of the service, and to uusettlc salutary measures low in progress for the government and improve ment ot the In iana, I recommend that the decision arrived by Congress at its last session be permitted to stand.' DEPREDATIONS ON TIMBER LANDS. Efforts made by the Department ot the Interior to arrest the depredations on the timber lands of the Uniteu States have been continued, and have met with considerable success. A large number of cases of trespass have been prosecuted in the courts of the United States, others have been set tled, Me trespassers offering to make payment to the government lor the value of the limber tanen by them. The proceeds of these prosecutions and settlements turned into the treasury far exceed in amount the sums appropriated by Cougress lor this purpose. A more important result, however, consists in the fact that Me destruction of our public forests by depredation, although such cases still occur, has* been greatly reduced in extent, and It is probable that, if the present policy is vigoiously pursued and sufficient provision to that end is made by Congress, Buoh trespasses, at least those on.a large scale, can be entirely suppressed, except in the territories where timber for the daily requirements o1 the population cannot, under the present state of the law, be otherwise obtained. I therelorc earnestly invite the attention of Congress to the recomm endation made by the Secretary of he Interior, that a law be enacted enabling the government to “ell timber from the public lands without conveying the fee, where snch lands are princip illy valuable for the timber thereon, such sales to be so regulated as to conform to domestic naiuo aim uuomcno m;i|uucuicuvoi ™v same time guard mg against a sweeping destruc tion of the forests. The enactment ot such a law appears to become a more pressing necessity every dav. AGRICULTURAL. My reoommendations in tormer messages are re newed in lavor of enlarging the facilities of the de partment of agriculture. Agriculture is the lead ing interest and the permanent industry of our peo ple. It ia^o the abundance ol agricultural pioduc lion, as compared with our home consumption and the largely increased and highly profitable market abroad, which we have enjoyed in r cent years, that we arc mainly indebted for our present pros purity as a people. We must look lor its continued maintenance to the same substantial resource. There is no branch of industry i i which labor, di rected by scientific knowledge, yields such in creased production in comparison with unskilled labor, and no branch of the public servee to which the encouragement of liberal appropriations can be more appropriately extended. The ommission to render such aid is not a wise economy, but, on the contrary, undoubtedly results in losses of immense sums annua ly that might be saved through well direcicd efforts by the government to promote this vital interest. Thu results already accomplished, with the very limited means heretofore placed «t the command f the department of agriculture, is an earnest of what may be expected with increased nppropiiations for the several purposes indicated in the report of the commissioner, with a view to placing the department upon a looting which will enable it to prosecute more electively the objects lor which it is established. Appropriations me needed for a more complete labaratory, for the es tablishment ot a veterinary division and a division of forestry, and for an increase of force. The re quirements for these and other purposes, indicated in the report of the commissioner, under the he d of the immediate necess ties of the department, will not involve any expenditure of money that tbo country cannot with propriety now undertake in the interest of agncul:ure. EDUCATION. It is gratifying to learn from the bureau of edu call n die extent to which educational privileges throughout the United States have been advanced during the year. No more fund'.mental responsi bility rests upon Congress than that of devising appropriate measures of financial aid to educa tion, supplemental to local action in the States and Territories and in the District of Columbia. The w ise forethought of the founders of our govern ment has not only furnished the basis for the sup port of the common school system in the newer dtatus, but laid the foundations for the maintenance of their universities and colleges of agriculture and Uic mechanic arts. Measures in accordance with ihis traditional policy for the further benefit of all these interests, and the extension of the same advantages to every portion of the c untry, it is hoped, will receive your favorable consideration. THE NATIONAL LIBRARY. To preserve and perpetuate the national literature should be among the foremost cares of the naticna legislature. The library gathered at the o ipitol still remaiLS unprovided with any suitable accommodations for its rapidly increasing stores. The magnitude and importance of the collection, increased as it is by the deposits made under tho law of copyright, by doraetTic and foieign exchanges, and by the scien tific library of the Smithsonian Institution, call for building accommodations which shall be at once equal and fire-proof. The location of such a pub lic building, which should provide for the pressing of nation’s book in the future, is a mutter which addresses itseli to the discretion of Congress. It is earnestly recommended as a measure which should unite all suffrages, and which should no longer delayed. Tilt WASHINGTON MONUMENT. The joint commission created by the act of Con* gress ol August 2, 1376, for the purpose of uper* vising and directing the completion of the Wash ington nation *1 monument, of which commission the President is a member, has given careful atten tion to this subject, and already the strengthening ot the foundation has so far progressed as to in sure the entire Miccess of this part of the work. A massive layer of masonry has been introduced be low the original foundation, widening the base, increasing the stability of the structure, and ren dering it possible to carry the shaft to completion. It. is earnestly recommended that such further ap propriations be made for the continued prosecution of tne work as may be necessary for the comple tion of the national monument at an early day. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. In former messages, impressed with the irapor* tance of the subject, I have taken occassion to com* mend to Congress the adoption of a generous poli* cy toward the District of Columbia. The report ol the commissioners of the district, herewith trans* mu led, contains suggestions and recomcndations to all of which I ea nestly invite your careful at tention. I ask your early ami favorable con sideration of the views which they express as to the urgent need of legislation for the reclamation of the marshes of the Potomac, and its eastern branch within th limits of the city, and for the re pair of the sireets of the capital, heretofore laid with wooden blocks, and now, by decay, rendered almost impossible, and a sour, e of imminent danger to the health of the citizens. The means at the dispos il of the commissioners are wholly inadequate for the ac complishment of these import nt works, an 1 should be supplemented by limely appropriations from the federal treasury. The filling of the flats in front ol the city will add to the adjacent lands and parks now owned by the United State« a large ami valuable domain, sufficient it is thought, to re imburse its enlie cost, and wiil also, as an inci dVntal result, secure the permanent improvement of the river for the purposes of navigation. The constitution having invested Congress with su preme and exclusive jurisdiction over Lhe District of Columbia, its citizens must of necessity look to Congress alone for all needful legfslati >n affecting their interests, an I, as the territory of this district is the common property of the people of the United States, who, equ illy with its resident citi zens, are interested in the prosperity of their capi tal, I cannot doubt that you will be amply sustained by the general voice of the country in any meas ures you may adopt for this purpose, I also invite the favorable consideration of Congress to the wants of the public schools of this district as ex hibited in the report of the commissioners. Wh lie the number of pupils is rapidly increasing, no adequate provision exists for a correspond ing i crease of school accommodation, and the c mniiasiouers are without the means to meet lids urgent need. A number of the buildings l ow used for school purposes arc rented, and are, in important particulars, unsuited for th« purpose. The cause of popular education in the District of Columbia is surely entitled to the same consideration at the hands of the national govenment as in the several States and territories, io which munificent grants of the public lands have been made for the endowment of schools and universities. Rutherford B. iiayes.

Compared with tho previous fiscal year the receipts for 1879 were increased $16,711,159.70, in the following items: In customs revenue, $7,079,367.50: in internal revenue, $2,979,985.84 in premium on loans. ¥1,490,943.25: in repay ment of interest bv Pacific Railroad Compan ies, $1,340,246.69; in profits on coinage, $1,234, 176.34; and in miscellaneous items, $2,580,440. 10. There was a decrease of $647,853.94, as follows: In sales of public lands, $154,962.31; in premiums on sales ol coin, $308,997.92; in semi-annual tax oil hanks, 3115,552.61; and in proceeds of sales of government property, 808, 341.07, making the net increaseiiu receipts from all sources for the year of $16,063,305.76. The expenditures show an increase over tho previous year of $32,224,731.26, as follows: In tho War Department, 8291,512.88; in the Inte rior Department, $8,561,292.11; Indians, 3578, 828,S07; and pensions, $7,984,463.31: in interest on tho public debt, 82,827,074.35; and in civil and miscellaneous, 812,563,851.92. There was a decrease of 32,240,174.5.4 in tho Navy Depart ment. making a net increase in expenditure of 329,983,556.73. The receipts for tho quarter ending Sept. .'SO, were $79,843,579; estimated receipts for tlic remaining three-quarters of tho fiscal year, $208,156,420; expenditures for tho quarter ending Sept. 30, $91,683, 385; estimated expen ditures for tho remaining three-quarters of the year, $172,816,614; total receipts, actual and estimated, $288,000,000; total expenditures, actual and estimated, 8264,000,000, leaving a balance of 824,000,000 after applying the balance of tho special dejiosit of U. S. notes helil in tho treasury for tho redemption of the fractional currency, amounting to $8,375,934, to tho payment of arrears of pensions. The in creased revenue derived during July, August and September of the present fiscal year was fully absorbed by current expenses and tho payment of 816,374,249.60 arrears of pensions accruing under the act approved January 25th, 1879. Notwithstanding these unusual demands the department lias been able to purchase and ap ply to the sinking fund out of the surplus rev enues for October Sin,050,000 6 per cent, bonds of 1881 and 3676,050 in 5 per cent, bonds issued under the act ot March 3d, 1861. Tho latter is in excess of the redemption of these bonds, over issues of 4 per cents under the refunding acts, and unless unexpected appropriations available for expenditure within this year are made by Congress, the surplus revenue, in ad dition to paying off the balance of arrears of pensions, will probably enable the department to apply to the sinking fund account during the year the sum of 824,000,000. The revenue of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1881, estimated upon the ■existing laws, will be 3288,000,000. Estimates of expenditures for the same period received from the several executive departments are as follows; Legis lative. S2.954.920.G8: executive. 313.500,098.91; .judicial, §399,300; foreign intercourse, §l,18o, 135: military establishment, §29,319,794.78; naval establishment, §14,509,147.95; Indian af fairs, §4,992,845.86; pensions, 832,404,000; pub lic works, Treasury Department, §3,121,150; War Department, §7,557,034.42; Navy Depart ment, §375,000; Interior Department, §503. 635.32; Department of Agriculture, $6050; pos tal service, §7,711,900; miscellaneous, §17,801, 520.75. Permanent annual appropriations: In terest on tho public debt, §38,877,410; sink ing fund, $39,828,225.72; refunding, customs, internal revenue, lands, Sc., §5,778,500; col lecting revenue from customs, §5,500,000; mis cellaneous, §1,770,000; total estimated expen ditures, including sinking fund, §278,097,304. 39, or an estimated surplus of §9,902,635.01. Excluding the sinking fund tho estimated expenditures will be §238,209,135. showing a surplus of §49,730,801. The estimates of the revenue for the next fiscal year are based upon tho assumption that tho increased receipts of tho past few months are mainly dno to the fill ing up of wants croated by a recent depression rather than by an actual increase of trade. These wants being supplied the revenues next year will probably not he increased beyond tho amount estimated. The estimated expendi tures for tho same period are based upon the requirements of tho existing law and the neces sary appropriations for public works in course of construction. The estimated surplus of §9,902,035 will prob ably be exhausted by additional appropriations. Should Congress iucreaso the appropriations beyond this limit or repeal or reduce the exist ing taxes other sources of revenue must be pro vided. Should this course be determined up on, which, however, the secretary dods not recommend, he would suggest, as a means of meeting the deficiency the restoration of a moderate duty on tea and coffee and tho levy ing of an internal tax upon the manufacturers of opium. The Secretary says that it has been impossi ble to comply with tho acts of Congress re quiring him to pay 1 per cent, of tho entire debt of each fiscal year owing to the loss of revenue caused by the general depression of business. But as the prospects for increased revenue enlarge with renewed activity in all branches of industry, it seems proper at this time to urge the importance of meeting tho obligations cre ated by these acts. It is estimated that §39, 828,225 will be required for tiiis purpose during the next year. The Secrotary says the depart ment will heartily co-operate with Congress in the most rigid economy, and says that any ap propriations beyond those actually demanded by tiio necessities of the government will only impair his ability to carry the laws into effect. Ho recommends permanent appropriation committees of both houses of Congress, who shall sit during the recess to supervise the ex penditures of the government; that rules be nrlontpfl liv tho rpsnnrtivft hnnstts limiting thfi appropriation bills to the items of appropria tion and excluding legislative provisions; that all apropriatious except for interest on public debt be limited to two' years and then expendi tures be strictly confined to the pdriod of time for which they are appropriated, and that all permanent and indefinite appropriations made more than four years ago, except that for the public debt be repealed. SUCCESS OF RESUMPTION. The Secretary refers to the success of re sumption, and says its consummation has been followed by a revival of productive industry unexampled in previous history. He refers to the different acts to maintain resumption, and says the reserve fund created by the resump tion act could not, without further legislation, be applied to the payment of current appropri ations. Nor is it to be presumed that Congress will omit to provide ample revenues to meet such appropriations. Therefore, under the existing law, the notes received into the Treasury in exchange for coin, will always be available for the purchase of or exchange for coin or bullion—any United States notes in the Treasury may be exchanged for coin, under authority of section 3700 of Re vised Statutes. When the notes cannot be used at par for that purpose, they must neces sarily remain in the Treasury. To avoid all uncertainty, it is respectfully recommended that by law the resumption fund be specifical ly defined and set apart for the redemption of U. S.,notes, and that the notes redeemed shall only bo issued in exchange for or purchase of bullion. The power to sell bonds should be preserved for auy extraordinary demand, and the Secretary is of the opinion that the exist ing law is ample to maintain resumption, even upon the present volume of U. S. notes. In view, however, of the inflow of gold into the country and the high price of public secu rities, it would seem to be a favorable time to invest a portion of the sinking fund in U. S. notes to bo retired and cancelled and in this way gradually to reduce the maximum of such notes to the sum of §300,000,000, the amount fixed by tho resumption act. LEGAL TENDERS. He calls the attention of Congress to the question whether U. S. liotes ought still to be legal tender in the payment of debts. He says the promissory note of the United States should be current money only by being promptly re deemed in coin on demand. The note of the United States now received for all public dues and is carefully limited in amount. It is promptly redeemed on demand and ample re serves in coin are provided to give confidence Ill ifcllVA OOl/tll 1VJ OUVH With these conditions maintained the United States note will be readily received and paid on all demands. While they are maintained tho legal tender clause gives no additional credit or sanction to tho notes, but tends to im pair confidence and to create fears of over issue. He recommends the repeal of tho legal ten der clause as to all future contracts, and that parties bo left to stipulate tho mode of pay ment. He refers to tho roport of mint opera tions and strongly urges the importance of ad justing the coinage rates of gold and silver by treaties with commercial nations, and until this can be done of limiting the coinage of the silver dollar to such ;i sum as in the opinion of Congress would enable the department to read ily maintain standard dollars of gold and silver at pgr with each other. REFUNDING. He recounts the success attending the re funding of 4 per. cents., the 5-20s and tho 10 40s. Thus, he says, since Nov. 23, 1878, to which date transactions wore brought in tho last annual report, there have been refunded *370,848,750 0 per cent, and *103,890,250 5 per cent, bonds of the United States into bonds bearing interest at 4 per cent., making an an nual saving of interest heretoforoof *9,355,977. 50 NATIONAL BANKS He quotes from the report of tho Controller of the Currency as to the national banks and says that tho co-operation of the national banks in cash resumption and refunding has been of sc sential service to the government. He says that the national banking system, that, after an existence of sixteen years, through a war and periods of great inflation and great depression, has produced such results, may fairly appeal for the confidence and support of Congress. OTHER MATTERS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. Tho reduction of expenses in collecting the customs tho past two years has been 8818,500. He thinks'the embarrassments arising from undervaluation and appraisements can be dis posed of better by specific duties instead of ad valorem, especially on kid gloves, piece silk, silk goods and piece velvets. If not a specific duty, the adoption of a plan by which the government might take goods at the importer’s valuation, and with the addition of 10 per cent for expenses, sell the goods on government ac count. Regarding the duties on sngar, tho Secretary says; Until the matter is settled this department will maintain th« position it has hitherto as sumed, of disregarding the apparent color of

VARIOUS OPINIONS CONCERNING THE COUNCIL'S INTENTION. [Special Despatch to the Press.] Augusta, Dec. 1.—Augusta is very tranquil tonight. Quite a number of people are in town but there is no excitement. The heat of the first unfolding of the plot to capture the state has passed and men now regard the mat ter calmly and as something to be met in a straightforward manner. The Governor ar rived tonight. Most of the Council were here before him. Couneilmen Brown, Foster, Fogg and Chase were present at the meeting of the Council this afternoon. Mr. Moody of iuik luuulj' 10 m lunu uuo io auuuv nu.iv. Among the gentlemen in town are Governor to-be-Davis, Hon. Lewis Barker of Bangor, Hon. S. L. Milliken of Belfast, Hon. Joseph A. Locke of Portland, Hon. N. Dingley, Jr., of Lewiston, Generals Hall and Beal and others. The air is full of rumors, but little is known concerning the actual situation or the future. I find many Republicans still confident that the next Legislature will be ruled by the Dem nitionals, that the Sonato will be counted out right for them and that by counting out some and refusing certificates to enough other Rep resentatives the same result will be effected in the House. Others are equally confident tiiat the counting out process will only bo applied to the Senate, and the House will remain Re publican. This, say the Democrats, would re sult in the election of a Democratic Governor, and that Bion Bradbury would probably be the man. Even should this happen it will be w’ell for them not to be too sure of Mr. Brad bury or any other Democrat. There are several methods of removing the feline cuticle. The first move in the counting campaign was made tonight. Whon the Council con vened Messrs. Geo. C. "Wing and A. R. Savage of Auburn appeared bearing the credentials of attorneys from the Republican members elect from Androscoggin county, and asked permis sion to examine the returns from th at county. After a short consult ition they were allowed to examine the returns relating to county offi cers. They found them to be regular with the exception of threo towns, in the returns from East Livermore the name of Hiram M. Briggs, the Republican candidate for County Com missioner, was written “Hiram Briggs.” The return from the town of Leeds was not attested by the town clerk. Leeds is Democratic, and if the returns from Democratic towns have been doctored, as some rather hotly allege, Leeds must have, been overlooked. As it stands the returns from Leeds aro not worth much, and if the Governor and Council are really suffering for a chance to apply the strict letter of the law, Leeds is a good town to be gin with. The return from Lewiston was fouud to be signed by but three Aldermen, four being required for a quorum. llie re turns relating to the Senators and Representa tives will be examined tomorrow morning. If the same defect is shown in the Lewiston re turn for those officers as in the return for couuty officers, and the Council decline to receive the attested copy of the city record, which will be presented, (the statute says they may do so) the return will be rejected. The Republicans claim that this is a remediable er ror such as is contemplated by the law of 1H77, Should the return from Lewiston be thrown out the Republicans will lose three Represen tatives. There is considerable interest to know if this is such a return as Gov. Garcelon considers “fatally defective.” This strikes pretty near his home and he may have had his own city in his mind’s eye when he gave utterance to his now celebrated phase. The developments of the morrow are awaited with considerable in terest. The Council are very affable and it is thought any authorized person may have ac cess to the returns at any time. As has already been said there are number less rumors afloat, but nothing can be known until the returns are seen. It is generally be lieved that the return from Portland no; only does not state the whole number of votes, but that a number of votes are returned as scattering instead for the person actually voted for. It is said also that the vote of Sears port is to be thrown out on the ground that the polls were not closed at the proper time. Stockton, another town in the class being Democratic, a Democratic Representative would elected. But up in the Burnham class is a case which will offset this. It is claimed that in Burnham that after the votes for gov ernor had been counted and the return mado up and signed and the count of the votes for Senators was proceeding, a man came in and wanted to vote. His vote was received, the return of the gubernatorial vote altered and so sent off. If the vote of Burnham be thrown out a Republican Representative will be elected,a stand-off as far as these two classes go. So it would scorn that if the Council, prepare returning board sauce for the Searsport goose, the Burnham gander must be treated in tlie same manner. it is rumored tliat a petition is in prepara tion to be presented to tlie next Legislature for a Normal School for tlie exclusive benefit o clerks of towns, selectmen and aldermen of cities. Bridgton is suggested ns tlie site. Felix. [To tlie Associated Press.] Augusta, Dec. 1.—Senators and Represen tatives elect or their attorneys from all the counties of tlie state assembled here today, in addition to a-largo outside gathering, includ ing five ex-governors, viz:—Alison P. Morrill, Selden Conuor, Lot M. Morrill, Joshua L. Chamberlain and Nelson Dingley. The Executive Council opened their session at 4 o’clock, Messrs. Foster, Brown, Chase and Fogg being present. Tlie first gentlemen who waited on them were Messrs. iug and Sav age on behalf of the county of Androsggin. The Council exhibited tlie returns of elec tion of county officers and promised these and other gentlemen to show- the returns of Sena tors anil Representatives tomorrow morning. Governor Garcelon arrived at 8 o'clock. Tlie statement made some time since that Win. L. Putnam, Esq., of Portland was legal adviser to tlie Governor and Council is contradicted on the highest authority. MAINE. Decision in an Interesting Case. Gardiner, Dec. 1—Tlio ice case referred to Judge Danforth, in which the Kennebec ice men are much interested, lias been decided in favor of tlie defendants, Oler Co. The case was brought by one Smith, whose horse was drowned through tlio ice. It was claimed that there were no fences where tlio ice had been ta ken out. Tlie defendants claimed that when tlie fence was removed new ice had formed 12 inches thick, ar d tlie horse broke through a crack, tlio plaintiff not using proper care. Tlie report will he opened at tlie next term at Bath. Paralytic Shock. Biddeford, Dec. 1.—Andrew J. Small, edi_ tor of the Biddeford Daily Times, while at tending a religious service in this city yester day, suffered a shock of paralysis. Postal Changes. Washington, Dec. 1.—The following post office changes were made during tlie last week ending Nov. 29, 1879: New England Names changed, Ripley Mills, Somerset county, rue., ru rupiey; oai mon Brook, Aroostook county, Me., to Wash burn. _ Postmuster appointed—John F.'Staples, Bai leyville, Washington county. MASSACHUSETTS. A Villainous Deed. Worcester, Dec. 1—On Saturday night Mrs. Sally Baker, aged 77 years, living be tween Gardner and Hubbardston, was brutally assaulted liy one Doyle of Gardner, 34 years old, who is under arrest. Preparing to Receive Parnell. Boston, Dec. 1.—A meeting of citizens was held here to-night to take measures for a greeting to Parnell upon his arrival here. The original committee appointed by Irish ctt.izens, who have resolved to receive Parnell at Fau euil Hall, was increased to sixty and includes the names of many distinguished citizens. A cablo message w as sent to Dublin inquiring of Parnell as to when ho will visit Boston. The Fugitive Fall River Cashier. Fall River, Dec. 1.—Milton Reed, counsel for the the Metacomet Bank, received a dis patch from Quebec announcing that the court of review, consisting of three judges of the Supeiior Court, had sustained Judge McCord’s decision, quashing the capias under which Walter Paine was held. Paine has not yet been discharged and is not likely will at pre sent as further proceedings for his detention are open to tho bank. NEW YORK. The Currency Question. New York, Dec. 1.—The Times discusses editorially the. question of currency as put forth by the President and Secretary Sherman, and holds that the President’s position is that which should commend itself to and be adopted by the Republican party, as the President in sists upon the retirement of legal tender notes as “a step to be taken in our progress toward a safe and stable currency which should be ac cepted as the policy aud duty of the govern ment and the interest and security of the people.” A Notorious Swindler Arrested. Information has been received in this city of the arrest in Frankfort-on-the-Main of Alfred Eugene Lagrave, famous for having swindled prominent iirms in New York. Boston and Philadelphia in 1871. At that time he fled to Canada, and thence went to Belfast. He was subsequently arrested in London, but dis charged.. Again he was arrested in France and brought to New York, having about $80, 000 in his possession,an.5 was again discharged. He is now in custody on a charge of forging medical certificates and diplomas. New Trial Ordered. In the ease of Henrietta S. Havemeyer against John C. Henry Havemeyer, one of the eight similar cases, involving over $300,000, brought for alleged breach of contract in the sale of Long Island Railroad stock held by cletenuams, tne general term nas reverseu the verdict of the jurv for over $30,000 damages against the defendants, and a new trial is ordered. The Democrats Preparing to Count in Pot ter. A sensation was created today by a rumor winch went the rouuds of a few leaders of the Democratic party, that tiiere was every reason to believe that Clarkson N. Potter would re ceive the certificate of election to tlio office of Lieut. Governor and that Hoskins would be left out in the cold. Hoskins’ apparent ma jority lias now dwindled below 100 and as the Board of State Canvassers is Democratic it is expected any technical quibbles are likely to be decided in favor of Potter. WASHINGTON. November Payments from the Treasury. Washington, Dec. 1.—The payments from tlio Treasury by warrants during November, 1879, were: Civil and miscellaneous. S4,054,S2G War 2,939,158 Navy. 1,177,937 Indians and pensions. 3,317,190 The above does not include payments on the interest or principal of the public debt. The Public Debt. The debt statement shows a decrease in the debt for November of $799,823.13. Tlio casli in the Treasury is $207,217,088.15. The Ute Commission. Secretary Schurz received the following telegram front General Hatch to.day: “Los Pinos, Nov. 27th. The advance of White ltiver Utes aro coming in.

The unfinished business of the House of Representatives belonging to the morning hour when the last session adjourned was the bill to prohibit Federal officers, contractors and claimants from making contributions for political purposes.

New Yokk. Nov. 30.—The Times says edi orially of tiie President’s message: The most in portant topics treated in the message are Lose of linauee and civil reform, and on both .lie remarks of the President are distinguished jy an amount of decision and clearness of in sight which his recent utterances on the same subject hardly entitled us to expect. Civil iervice reform is treatcu in amueli more elabo rate, though not less satisfactory fashion, than tho finances. Tiie President clearly discrimi nates between the propriety of allowing Cabi net officers who are closely identified with the policy of tiie Administration to explain and defend that policy before tho people and tiie obvious impropriety of permitting tiio holders of subordinate places, whoso functions are in no wise identified with partisan politics, to step out of the sphere to become campaign oratois. Nothing half so forcible and explicit as the parts of this message relating to civil service reform lias been penned by Mr. Hayes since his letter of acceptance of the Cincinnati nomination, and all li is intermediate trifling with tiie subject will lie forgiven if li is future policy be guided by tho considerations ho now so ably formulates. But that presupposes the necessity of demanding much more tangible fruits of tiie system than hitherto forthcoming. Let tiie President give unmistakable proofs of his own earnestness and singleness of purpose in carrying out this most vital of reforms and the support, of public ouinion, if not tho co operation of Congress, which ho calls for, will not be withheld. The message contains sonic general allusions to tho imperfect realizations in the South of tiie ideal of equal rights, but bevond appealing to tiie patriotism ot the coun try to put an end to race proscriptions, and to Congress to do what it can to remedy any de fects in tiie laws, regulating the exercise of suffrage, lie has no remedy to propose. Comments of the New York Herald. The Herald says: The message is a plain and unambitious document, which conveys in a clear, straightforward manner tiie views of the President or tho present stato of tlfe country. It has a higher merit than force of diction and intellectual astuteness, tiie great merit of study and honest adherence to sound principles, without vacillation or trimming of any of the shiftlessness which bends to a false expediency. On civil service reform his position is so ob viously right and wise that lie can afford to disregard the obloquv|of tradingjpoliticians ai d keep alive efforts which, if they do not suc ceed in his time, must ultimately succeed if we arc to save our free institutions. But civil service can wait while the head of the govern ment is trying to check the most flagrant abuses, but our great experiment of resump tion is in peril from gross imperfections in the laws. The law requiring tiie continued coin age of base silver dollars must be repealed or our cu-rency will sink to a lower value titan it had during the four years which preceded re sumption, and the only safe way to deal with the greenbacks is to redeem and cancel them. President Hayes has earned a new title to pub lie coimueiiee vy tiiuov mi«muu.U), tions. _ Comments of tlie Tribune. The Tribuno says: Tlio message reviews a great variety uf topics affecting the multifari ous interests of the country with conspicuous thoroughness, candor and ability. The mes sage is dignified in tone and entirely free from partisanship, but its recital of facts and its rec ommendations cannot fail to strengthen the public confidence in the party by which the President was chosen. The comments and recommendations of the message will in the main be approved by the country as eminently judicious and patriotic. Comments of the London Times. London, Dec. 1.-The Times discussing the message of President I [ayes says that if the legal tender notes in circulation be called in and cancelled, silver dollars must take their place and the existing plethora bo relieved. A demand for European goods will follow and the current of money from the East to the West shores of the Atlantic be arrested if not reversed. __ XLVIth CONGRESS—1st Session. Washington, Dec. 1.

His re mains will be sent to Indianapolis under escort detailed by General Sheridan. Gen. Davis was born in Indiana about the year 1828, received a moderately good educa tion, and was only 16 years old when he enlist ed for the war with Mexico. lie acquitted himself so creditably in that war that on June 17, 1848, he was commissioned as Second Lieu tenant of the First Regular Artillery. On Feb. 29, 1852, he was promoted to bo First Lieutenant of Company E, First Regular Ar tillery, and as such was stationed at Fort Sum ter when that work was bombarded. The first gun fired in defence ^of the Union flag was fired by his hand on the morning of April 12, 1861. After the surrender of Sumter he was ordered to Indianapolis as military officer, Quartermaster and Commissary, remaining there three months. Promoted to be Captain on May 14, 1861, he was allowed leave of ab sence to take command of the 22d Indiana Vol unteers, and was next ordered to Jefferson City as Commandant of that post, with a force of 12,000 men. On Gen. Halleck’s taking com mand of the Department of the West, Col. Davis was ordered to the Potomac, but being in command of a brigade operating in Central Missouri under General Pope, he was allowed to report by letter merely. Capturing a large force of rebels at Knob Noster, he was then sent to Tipton and joined General Curtis, with whom he acted at Lebanon, Springfield and Pea Ridge. In the latter battle he command ed the Third Division of Curtis’ army and earned promotion to the rank of Brigadier General of Volunteers. Afterward he was at tached to Gen. Buell’s army of the Ohio, and ill rofiilMinrl lif« llflinP. Oil rftl Oil!" ing the forces, the advance of Bragg into Ken tucky caused him to find his command at Louisville, where he came under the command of Major General William Nelson, with whom he had a personal quarrel on September 28, 1802, shooting him dead. He was arrested, but there was no evidence on which to hold him for trial by court-martial. Tried by the civil authorities lie was acquitted, the verdict being very generally approved. In December, 1802, General Davis was connected with the army of the Cumberland, under General Rosecraus, and at the battlo of Murfreesboro’ commanded the Ninth or centre Division of Gen. McCook’s corps. For his bravery lie was recommended for promotion by Gen. Rosecrans. During February, 1803, he pursued the rebels who had attacked Fort Donelson, and on his return brought with him 250 prisoners, and subse quently rendered other important service, be ing brevetted Major General of Volunteers and Brigadier General in t .o regular army. After the war he became Colonel of the 23d Regi ment, U. S. A._ Mysterious Death. Claremont, Dec. 1.—An inquest was Held today on the body of Lewis F. Stone, who died from injuries said by his friends to have been received by falling through a barn floor into the cellar, where ho lay from Tuesday night till Wednesday night. Preparations were made for his burial Sunday,but the authorities interposed to hold an inquest. Stone had had trouble with his family and much mystery sur rounds the affair. In the case of Crowley and Gillen, on trial in Chicago for throwing pepper in .the eyes of Illinois Central railroad messengers six months ago, and robbing them of 810,000, the jurv re turned a verdict against Crowley as accessory to the crime and fixed the penalty at 7 y ears in the penitentiary. The jury disagreed as to Gillen. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. Report of Attorney General Dsveus. New York, Dec. 1.—Attorney General Devens’ report says tlie deficiency in conse quence of a non-payment of marshals, etc., is *('.110,000, and urges such appropriations, as tlio officers have faithfully discharged their duties. He says additional legislation is_ needed to protect the executive civil officers of the government in the performance of their duties and also against outrages which are committed upon them because they have faithfully per formed them. He says some additional expenses have been inourred in prosecuting violations of tlie elec tion laws, and ho again recommends provision for tl.o appointment of another Circuit Juoge in each district. The appropriation for United States C'urts last year* was 82.800.000. The amount paid and accounts payable necessitate Si jo ,cy appropriation of *370,000. The estimated appropriation for the fiscal year of 1880 is *2, :150.000. i fe gives an exhibit of the work of the Court Claims and refers to the im portance otthe recent decision m the trade mark cases. Throe cases are cited involving a discussion of the judicial construction to be . These cases dept ud upon tlie validity of those provisions of tlio act securing to all persons equal accommodations in inns and theatres. Among his recommendations are .the follow ing That District attorneys he provided for in certain districts and their salaries fixed; that tlie number of United States Commis sioners. now aggregating 2000, is too great, and as tlio expenses incident to their duties are c ntinually increasing, Congress should fix the maximum number in a district, and if au thority was given tlie judge of tlie district to disallow fees in cases where warrants aro causolessly issued much might be done to limit tlie expenses. The report concludes with a reference to tlio courts in Utah, of which the Attorney General says: For the last four years appropriations have been made. This territory persistently declines to make appropriations, which all other territories make |aiid properly should make, for these courts. It will he for Congress to consider whe*her some system cannot bo adopted by which the territory shall be compelled to moet the expenditure which tlie legislation of Con gress lias treated as a proper charge upon it. It would ho obviously impossible in the mean time to permit tlie proper administration of territoiial justice to fail. MARINE NEWS. Moro Gloucester Fishermen Lost. Gloucester, Dec. 1.—The schooner N. H. Phillips, Capt. McDonald, which sailed from Gloucester for Bauguenan, Oct. 1st, lias not been heard from, and is supposed to he lost with 13 men, all of that port.

Boston, Nov. 30.—The steamer Atlas, at this port from Liverpool, brought in the sur vivors of tho British bark Editli, Capt. Traiu or, from Philadelphia for Queenstown. Tho captain and four of the crew were probably drowned. The Atlas reports that on Nov. 25, latitude45° 22', longitude 42° 42', she fell in with a small boat showing a signal of distress, in which were huddled the mate and seven of tho crew of the ill-fated bark. They were promptly taken on board of the steamer, after having been exposed to nearly a week's suffering on the ocean. Tho survivors stated that they experienced Sno weather until a week after leaving port, when the bark was struck by a terrilie gale, which nearly throw her on her beam ends and shifted her cargo of corn. On the 20th inst. another gale was en countered with a heavy sea, and tho vessel sprang a leak. The water in the hold gaining on the pumps rapidly, it was found necessary to abandon the bark, which had become un manageable. On tbe 21st the captain and four men left tho wreck in one boat, and the first officer and the remainder of tho crew in an other. Tho Edith foundered in two hours after tbe crew left her. The men in tlio mate’s boat were tossed about on tho waves for four days, living on hard-tack and water, when they were discovered by tbe Atlas. Captain Trainer’s boat may have been picked up by a passing vessel, but it is feared they were lost in tho high sea which was then running. The Editli was built at Sunderland, England, in 1863, was of 485 tons burden, and owned in North Shields. Her crew were all English men. ________ THE INDIANS. The Utes Gathering at Los Pinos.

The Lowe Murder. Portland, Dec. 1,1870. To the Editor of the Portland Press: Dear Sir,—Tlease give place in your col umns to the following statement in regard to my official conduct in the Lowe case, as your paper of this morning erroneously states the facts in regard to it. At noon Saturday Marshal Bridges informed me that he had Lowe in custody upon the charge of the murder of his brother in Sep tember last, and that Lowe was ready to plead guilty to the charge, and asked if lie should be arraigned that afternoon. I replied, “Yes, let him be brought before the court at three o’clock,the usual hour for afternoon business.” At three o’clock 1 appeared in court and was informed by the Marshal that the report ers of the Press and Argus claimed that the arraignment of the prisoner should bo defer red until such time as their papers could have the first publication of the news. Neither the Marshal nor any other officer informed me that they were not then fully prepared in thd case, and did not suggest any other reason for its postpo uement or delay. These reasons I re garded as insufficient and improper for a pub lic officer to heed in the performance of his official duty in the criminal courts, mindful that I ought to convict the guilty of crime, re gardless "of what newspaper should first get the pu blication of the details as an item of news. I think your statement of the facts in regard to my conduct in the caso both unjust and un warrantable, and I can but think they must have been inadvertently made. Yours respectfully, T. H. Haskell, County Attorney. Personal. Jtliss Emma L. Vorrill, a graduate of the Portland High School, and afterwards a teach er in the public schools, was recently married to Mr. J.

Unlike most musical prodigies, she is not frail or delicate, giving one a feeling she will never reach ma turity, but a perfectly natural, comfortable child, who is unspoiled by the praises she re ceives, but in love with her ait and her own severest critic.

Editor:—The Press yesterday morn ing stated that by the personal efforts and solicitations of the pastor, Kev. Win. E. Gibbs, Congress Square Universalist Church lias been freed from debt. At the close of au ex cellent sermon yesterday morning Mr. Gibbs announced that lie had secured subscriptions to the amount of .80,050, and that $250 more was necessary to liquidate the parisli debt. This ainout was immediately subscribed iu small sums. During the ten years in which Mr. Gibbs has been pastor of this church, by personal efforts lie lias obtained nearly $10,000, and the society and parish are under great obligations to him, for his labors in their behalf. May the pleasant relation which has always existed between the pastor and people of this churcli long continue. One of the Parish. Gershom F. Cox. The late G. F. Cox, whoso death was an nounced the other day, was born in Hallowell, Me., Nov. 0, 17:0. He resided in this city sev eral years between 1810 and 1850, during which time he preached the usual terms in Chestnut street, Park street (then Methodist) and Pine street Methodist churches, and was four years presiding elder of this district. Ho also edited the Maine Wesleyan Journal, now tho Zion's Herald of Boston. Ho was a Grand Chaplain of the Masonic Royal Arch Chapter of Maine from 1815 to 1810, inclusive. CITY GOVERNMENT. Monthly Meeting of the City Council. The regular monthly meeting of the City Council was held last evening, and the follow ing business transacted: IX BOARD OF MAYOR AXD ALDERMEN. Samuel C. Rundlett was appointed special policeman without pay. I. I). Cushman was granted a license as auctioneer. The petition of Charles H. Hersey to main tain a fish market on Oxford street was refer red with power. The petition of N. B. Noble Co. for 75 per cent, abatement of their taxes was referred to the appropriate committee. ORDERS PASSED. That the city government be directed to peti tion the legislature to change the easterly line between the town of Cumberland and the city of Portland so that the line shall run substan tially as follows: Commencing at the point of intersection of the southerly line of Falmouth with tlie westerly Hue of Cumberland, thence south 74 degrees 30 minutes east,true meridian, one and twenty-one thirty-seconds statute miles, to a point in Chandler’s cove; thence south, true meridian, to the open sea: and that the city give the necessary notice required by statute. That the City Treasurer bo authorized to pay for the moving and repairing of the powder house, not exceeding $369.85. That the City Treasurer bo directed to pay the bills contracted for the building of the new powder house, not exceeding tlio sum of 8669. 85. That the committee on cemeteries and pub lic grounds be directed to sell at public auc tion the old powder house, the proceeds of the same to be placed to the credit of of appropria tions for cemeteries and public grounds. That the City Clerk make from his records a new list of the votes cast in this city at the late election, as the list previously sent to Au gusta recorded as “scattering” all gubernato rial votes excepting those bearing the names of Garcelon, Smith and Davis. In the new list the scattering votes must each bo properly credited to the one for whom it was thrown. The joint standing committee on judicial proceedings and claims, to whom was referred the petition of Dorcas Murcli for damages caus ed by alleged defect in Congress street, report ed recommending that the petitioner have leave to withdraw. Alderman Cunningham called for the report of the committee appointed at the previous meeting of the Board to inquire into the matter Ul LUO UUUULUg U1 LUO IVUUIUL Ol. DU«Cl. Ai derman Waite, chairman of said committee, arose, and called for additional time. Mr. Cunningham then read from the report of the meeting of last month in the Argus, in which, he was made to appear in a rather disadvan tageous light. It was more than hinted in that report that Mr. Cunningham had caused a sewer to be begun on Walnut street, unbe known to the other members of the committee on drains and sewers, and in face of tho fact that the appropriations for drains Tand sowers ivas exhausted. Mr. Cunningham, however explained his position in reference to the Wal nut street sewer jin a clear and satisfactory manner. At a meeting of tho committee it was decided to build said sower with the under standing from tho Mayor that moneys, outside of the drains and sewers appropriation, should be used to pay for its construction. But, final ly, to accommodate the city, Mr. Cunningham advanced the money himself with which to pay the contracts. This statement of Mr. Cun ningham the Mayor endorsed, and then Alder anan Waite made a short explanation in which he said he had looked upon the appointment of tho investigating committee as a joko and had treated it as such. He moved that the committee be discharged, which motion was carried. A communication was received from Mrs. H. D. Barbour and the heirs of the "dato Elias Merrill, staling that by an agreement with the committee on laying out new streets in 1878. when West street was widened they gave without compensation over 100,000 feet of their land, with the understanding that the rest of their property on said street should not be in creased in valuation, from tho fact of tho street being widened. But tho assessors this year have increased the valuation of this prop erty almost double what it stood on tho books in 1878. They t hereforo petition that the agreement made with the committee on lay ing out new streets in 1878 be kept inviolate and tho v aluation of their real estate bo put back to what it was in 1878. The communica tion was referred to Hie committee on judicial proceedings and claims. IX COMMOX COUNCIL. Tho petion of N. B. Noble Co., for abate ment of taxes for 1878-79 was referred to the nnmitteeon judicial proceedings and claims and sent up. 1 apers from the upper board passed in con currence. MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.

The Thanksgiving Shoot at Peakes Island. Tho visit of the Kennebunk sportsmen to tho Peakes’ Island pigeon and glass ball match on Thanksgiving day was an occasion of much pleasure and good-fellowship to all concerned. The visitors were eleven members of the Kennebunk Fish and Game Piotective Association, including Larrabee, a first class shot, and Cloudman, who was in the “Dia mond tie” at Lewiston last September. They were met at the Boston Maine depot in Portland by a committee from the Peakes’ Island Club and brought directly to the Is land, reaching here about 9 o’clock a. m. Proceeding at once to the grounds the strangers were made acquainted all round and the shoot commenced at pigeons, the Peakes’ Islanders sending “Old Eeliable,” Mr. W. S. Brackett, to the trap By 1 o’clock the pigeon match was over, and upwards of 300 birds pretty evenly distributed among tho con testants; the match was umpired by Cliarlos Pollister. At this poiut the visitors wero invited by Mr. \V. T. Jones to partake of a Thanksgiving dinner at the Union House, and their cordial acceptance led to a destructive attack upon turkey. After dinner and cigars, the company re-assembled in the “Little Field” for a grand glass ball match. Sides wero chosen by G. L. Brackett and Iloury Trefethen, Jr., with the understanding that the defeated party should pay for tho oysters. Twenty-five balls cecli were to be shot at, 13 from a rotating trap and (i pair of doubles, about 40 men contesting. Darkness prevented the match from being finished that night, and when the single balls had been disposed of the shoot was adjourned till next morning, Brackett’s side being one ball ahead. At six o’clock the oyster supper was served at the Union House and was discussed with relish. The evening, till a late hour, was passed in social games. During the evening Mr. Geo. C. Lord, Secretary of the Kennebunk Club, produced an elegant gold-lined silver goblet, richly engraved, which he presented in behalf of the visitors to Mr. L. E. Skillings as being tho best pigeon shot in the Peakes’ Island Club. Mr. Skillings in a neat little speech accepted the cup and returned the good wishes of the donors. Next morning the double balls wero shot off, winding up the program mo marked out for the entertainment of tho visitors. Trefethen’s side came out one ball ahead on the doubles, making a tie between the sides for tho whole shoot. In shooting off the tie, at double balls, Brackett’s side was victorious, winning the match by two balls. The scores made were, on the whole, ex tremely satisfactory. Mr. J. B. Jones suc ceeded in re-taking the Club badge, and with it the championship, while Mr. Larrabeo sustained that relation to his own club. The best scores were, at pigeons, 10 birds each: Larrabee, Kennebunk.,10 L. 15. Skillings, l’eakes’ Island. 9 At the glass balls, 13 single and 12 double per man: J. B- Jones, Peakes’ island, total.23 Larrabee, Kennebunk, total.22 A Notable Golden Wedding. A large company of relatives and friends met with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Moulton at their residence in Gorham on Thanksgiving day, and joined with them in the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage. Besides the large company of the more imme diate relatives and neighbors who sat down to the tables loaded with Thanksgiving cheer, many others called to pay their respects to the honored couple, and in all about two hundred people were present during the afternoon and evening. The occasion was in all respects most enjoyable. At the wedding, just half a century ago, some eighty or ninety persons were present, of whom sixteen are now living. Seven of these were present at the golden wed ding. Mrs. Moulton wore the identical dress —a pearl satin—which she wore at her wed ding, and other portions of her bridal outfit, and one of her then bridesmaids, Mrs. John Curtis, was presont to help array her in the bridal attire of fifty years ago. On the refresh ment tables wtjro seen the china and silver and a portion of the table linen which did service at the original wedding. Itev. T. Pomeroy, who performed the marriage ceremony, has been dead many years, but the venerable Rev. Samuel Butterfield, an old friend of the fami ly, and Rev. Z. J. Wheeler, of Gorham, were present and took part in the exercises of the celebration. A choir of singers attended and assisted in the musical part of the entertain ment, and others added greatly to the pleasure of the occasion by the rendering of songs and music. Miss Edna E. Libby, the only grand daughter, read the original poem contributed by Mrs. M. L. Russell, and also recited very finely one of Whittier’s poems appropriate to the occasion. Numerous letters of congratula tion from distant friends who were unable to be present, were received and read. Mr. and Mrs. Moulton have had seven chil dren, all of whom are living. Two only were absent, John B. Moulton, who has been for twenty-six years a resident of California and is now a merchant at Santa Cruz in that State, and Charles I. Moulton, who has been in Texas eight years and is an extensive sheep raiser there. Both the latter were at home three years ago. Mr. Moulton himself belongs to a family of eight, live of whom arp still living, while Mrs. Moulton is the only survivor of a family likewise of eight brothers and sisters. Mr. Moulton and his wife have lived on the spot where they now reside since their mar riage fifty years ago. They are among the most substantial citizens of Gorham, and have, during all these years, maintained an honored name among their townspeople and acquain tances. Kind-hearted and hospitable, they have kept open doors for a wide circle of ac quaintances, and have always generously assisled the poor and the sick. The celebra tion of the golden wedding was an event long to be remembered with pleasure, and the char acter of the friends who rallied about the worthy couple to rejoice with them over their half century of peaceful wedded life, showed most plainly that the truest manhood and womanhood had been exemplified in their lives. -A. Business Notes. J. W. Sawyer of Millbridge is getting out a frame for a large vessel to bo built next spring. Two or three small ones of about 50 tons will be built this winter and the coming spring by G. M. Leighton and others. The Barker Mill of Lewiston is now produc ing 70,000 yards of goods per week, consuming 2500 bales of cotton per year. More new card ing and spinning machinery, to the amount of some $7000, has been added, besides which $1000 more ha^e been laid out in smaller mod ern appliances, and a further sum of $2500 in general repairs to the mill and grounds and houses adjacent. The mill is very busy at present, in consequence of these improve ments, running carding and spinning three evenings a week, to keep the weaving going on regular time, till the new machinery is in full operation. The following shows the amount of lumber surveyed in Bangor in 1879, as compared with the amount surveyed in 1877 and 1878: 1877 1878 1879 Greon Tide, 10,055,443 14,255,319 9,037,921 Dry Pine. 4,040,708 5,224,078 8,322,393 Spruce. 85 480,149 81,358,050 91,907,627 17U33 444 21.302.775 12.095.220 Total, 117,807,745 122,140,828 122,502,262 Colby University. The Echo says of Colby library: Seventy volumes have been added to tho library this term, among which are several valuable p ub lic documents. Thirty volumes have been add ed by binding numbers o£ the standard maga zines which are taken. Tho librarian informed us at the end of the elevcuth week of the term, that tho number of volumes taken from tho library had reached 2,100, and that, like his public statements of the circulation of the library, means by students only. The Colby Echo notes the following practi cal work of Prof. Elder of Colby University: By the constant effort of Prof. Elder, and the occasional assistance of the studen ts and other friends of the College, the cabinet is quite rap idly increasing in interest and value. Prof. Elder is now making a special effort to procure and arrange a collection of specimens which shall represent the industries of our state. It is interesting to notice the progress already made in this direction, in the granites, slates, limestones and mineral ores from several of the quarries and mines. Additions to this col lection in specimens and information will be most gladly received. Also any other speci mens of tho minerals of our section, or from lo calities more remote, as well as additions to the general cabinet are always welcome. Obituary. Henry B. Farnliam, an old and highly re spected citizen of Bangor, died in that city Sunday morning of paralysis. He was born in Gorham, April 18,171)8, and went to Bangor in 1832.

A despatch to the Boston Herald says a strong party of citizens of Bucksport are mov ing for a repudiation of tho indebtedness oi that town which was contracted by a loan to tho Bangor Bucksport railroad, on the ground of fatal irregularities in the action of tho town when the bonds were issued. It is not claimed that tliero was fraud, but only technicalities, of which advantage may bo taken. There will be a lively discussion in the town before this action can bo carried, if it can bo at all, and no sympathy or considera tion can bo expected from tho outside public, as the town is amply able to pay its debts and is not in the condition of 'Wiscassct.

AGRICULTURAL. STATE COLLEGE. Some Interesting Facts Concerning Products of the Farm. The Orono Correspondent of the Whig writes: In a conversation Friday with Mr. T. G. Rich, the farm superintendent of the State College, I learned from him that the farm had produced this year, one hundred and ten tons of excellent hay at the first cutting and afterwards a second crop of ten tons had been secured. This rowen, or aftermath as it is sometimes called, when well cured makes excellent feed for milch cows and young cattle in the fall and early winter, anti in this case is quite an impor tant addition to the crop of hay. Of potatoes four hundred bushels were raised most of them of the Early Rose and Granite State varieties. As a potato for winter and spring use the Granite State is regarded as an excellent variety as it is of good quality, very white and mealy, siza ble and not over large and never prongy or knobby like some other well known kinds. Experiments are made with other kinds but these two form the main crop raised. Of wheat ninety bushels were raised all of the Lost Nation variety. Eight and one half bushels were sown on about four acres and the crop is of excellent quality. When brought to the mill for grinding the miller considered it among the very best of the lots received and not inferior to any. Of barley five hundred and sixty-one bushels were raised. This was of the kind known as “two rowed” and having been sowed early, was of extra nice quality. Of peas and wheat, a mixture of Canada peas and Lost Nation wheat for hog fodder twelve bushels were raised. Of Sugar Beets for the Maine Beet Sugar Co., of Portland ninety-eight thousand pounds were produced oiun little over two acres of land. This crop is regarded as quite satisfactory considering the character of the soil on which it was raieed and the method of cultivation they were obliged to pursue. Of beets for stock eight hundred bushels were raised, of the kinds known as Mam moth and Giant. These are regarded as valuable food for neat stock and the crop is The corn crop proved a failure though but little was planted. The lateness of the planting and the extreme earliness of the frost were too much for it; only a small plat was planted, however, so the loss is only a trifle. Of Kuta Baga turnips purple top variety six hundred and sixty bushels were raised and forty-eight bushels of the purple top, strap leaf kind which is among the best of the white flat kind. Six bushels of beans and forty bushels of onions complete the field crops. A large amount and variety of vegetables were also raised for use of the family and the help of the Superintendent, which are not reckoned in lots above mentioned. The strawberry crop was a fine one, and the farm as a whole paid its bills and has a surplus of about two hundred dollars as a profit. This is regarded as a very good showing and right here comes up the question: “Ought the farm to be managed with a sole view to profit?” This is a very import tant question and opinions will naturally differ upon it. Some now maintain stoutly that no other result than that of profit should be considered in the management of the farm, and that if it cannot be made to pay, the cultivation of it at the expense of the college should be discontinued, while others are as decidedly of opinion that it was never the intention of tire originators of the act creating the college, or of the Legis lature which accepted the act, or of those which have made liberal contributions to its running ar.d other expenses, to thus narrow its scope. Our correspondent adds that he is of opinion that there is a better way than either of these, viz: Let a certain portion in one or several parcels as the case may be, be set apart each year for experiments and be cultivated with an idea single to the questions of deciding the value in a money point of view of certain mooted methods of cultivation. It makes no difference wheth er the conducting of these divers experi ments pays the college or not, that is not the object for which they are to be tried on this farm from year to year, but they are to be tried for the purpose of ascertaining tVUCUlCI, 111 m Vieoiinwiv the State to follow them in their own culti vation or not. If the results show that the experiments have proved a success and will be likely to continue such when tried by the farmers themselves, on their own farms, then let the college recommend them with its statements of the methods pursued in aacli given case, and reasons therefor and the experiments tried will soon cease to be experiments and the farming community will reap the benefit of the work done at the expense of the College and will be more willing tc be assessed for State appronria tions, in the future than in the past. But let the remainder and by far the larger part of the farm be conducted as a prudent, wise, far-seeing man would his own land under similar circumstances, namely with a view to profit and profit only. Thus will the value of the farm as an experimental sta tion become widely known to all intelligent farmers in the State, and the farm proper become self-supporting. Plants. When a plant is in a bad condition it is a mistake to apply a stimulating fertilizer. The causes of ill health ire many; but the most general one with those who have had no experience in ike care of plants is over watering. Plants to live, must have water, therefore the more water the better seems to be the reasoning; and the consequence is staived, nearly learless sticks in pots of mud. In the majority of cases witholding the water is one of the things needed, and with iuvalids a stimulating fertilizer is the one thing of all others not needed. When pl.ntsarein a flourishing condition and making growth, then fertilizers may be use ful, especially if the soil in the pots was originally rather poor. Any of the fertili zers used in the garden would answer for plants in the house, were it not necessary to avoid unpleasant odors and to consult neat ness and ease of application. For hard wooded, slow-growing plants very fine bone —flour of bone—sold by seedsmen for the purpose, is, perhaps, the best, a few table sposnfuls being forked into the soil of the pot. For soft-wooded, quick growers a liquid fertilizer may be used. This may be guano, a teaspoonful to a gallon of water; soot, two table spoonfuls to a gallon, or the water of ammonia (liquid hartshorn) of the drug stores, an ounce to the gallon. Water the plants with either of these, in stead of clear water, once or twice a week, as the condition of the plant requires. Xo invariable rule can be given. Fattening Poultry for Market. Xo fowl over two years old should be kept In the poultry yard, except for some special reason. An extra good mother, or a finely feathered bird that is desirable as a breeder may be preserved until ten years old with ad vantage, or at least so long as she is service able. But ordinary hens and cocks should be fattened at the end of the second year for market. Feeding for this purpose may be begun now. When there is a room or shed that can be closed, the fowls may be confined there. The floor should be covered with two or three inches of fine sawdust, dry earth, sifted coal ashes, or clean sand. The food should be given four times a day, and clean u-iilpr he nlw.ivs before the fowls. A dozen or more fowls may be put at once in tins apartment, so that there may not he too many ready to sell at one time. The best foo l for rapid fattening, for producing well flavored flesh and rich fat, is buckwheat meal, mixed with sweet skimmed milk into a thick mush. A*teaspoonful of salt should he stirred in the food for a dozen fowls. Two weeks’ feeding is sufficient to fatten the fowls, when they should be shipped for sale without dilay, and another lot put up for feeding. If the shed is kept dark and cool as it should be, tlie fowls will fatten all tlxe quicker for it.—American Agriculturist.

In its pas sage through the circulating fluids it meets with the corrupt particles of matter which foster and maintain disease, with which it chemically unites, destroying and gradually eliminating them from the system. Hence its power to forever expel Scrofulous, Can cerous, and Cauker Humors, which unchecked fill the body with foul corruptions, and rot out the del icate machinery of Life. Cuticura, the great external remedy for all Hu mors of the Scalp and Skin, Ulcers, Sores and Dis charging Wouuds, is the most soothing and healing of outward applications. It speedily destroys fun gus and parasitic growths, restores‘the oil glands and tubes to a healthy condition, and cures, when assisted by the Cuticura Soar, Diseases of the Skin and Scalp which have been the torture of a life time. SKIN DISEASE. f>ra>nl MutfIY‘t,in.«r fni* V«>nt*w. A Wonderful Cure by Ihe Cuticura Remedies. Messrs. Weeks Potter: Gentlemen,—Cuti cura Remedies have done me a power of good. I have been afflicted with skin disease for sixteen years. Some days it t roubled me more than others, but at night the itching nearly drove i®e wild. 1 would scratch until the blood would run down my limbs. J have had several physicians. Some said they could cure me, but others said not. I will say that before I used Cuticura Reme dies I was in a fearful state, and had given up all hope of ever having any relief. But like a drowning man grasping at a straw. I thought I would try the Cuticura Remedies, about which J had read so much. They have performed a wonderful cure for me, and of my own free will and accord 1 recommend them. Yours truly, S. A. STEELE, 08 W. Van Buiiex St., Chicago, III., March 7, 1879. more good Than doctors lu Three Years of Treatment. Gentlemen,—Please lind 50 cents to pay for small box of Cuticura and direct it to me. The dollar box von sent me has done me more good than all the doctors in three years. The doctors have done me no good. My feet and legs are healing fast. It is indeed Cuticura. Yours truly.
