STU-BOY TRENCHER !

1t is now generally understood that Henry Y.
Cranston is to he the opposing candidate, against
the Hon. ID. J. Pearce, or whoever may be the pco-
Piles candidate for seat in the next Congress from
this State. This determination we understand he
has frequently avowed What pretensions aside
from his impudence, he can have for thus nominal
ting himself we at loss to understand. No
convention even of the Bank Tories have yet inv-
ted him to come forward; and if we Judge from his
former usefulness either in public private point
of view we find sufficient apology for his pre-
tensions.

the sick si. He had never lost days duty before
lie never did days dutycffer' Shortly after this
occurrence, the vessel reached Gibraltar, where poor
McDermot was sent on shore to the English Hos
pitaI, and where, ina few weeks he breathed bis
last.
The reader may suppose that, according to the
ideas of naval etiquette, it must have been very
grave offence for this marine TO stand barefoot al
the cabin door. What will be his SURPRISE then, to
learn that the ORDER directing that the sentlnels who
should stand guard, after sunset on the evening when
the crew were permitted TO wash their clothes, by
which the decks were inundated with salt water,
should do SO without their shoes, had been issned a
few days before by Creighton himself! Yet such is
literally the fact.
The question may very naturally be asked, why
this ferocious and brutal officer was not tried by
Court Martial and dismissed from the Navy! Why
he was not tried byta Court Martial, MIR. Southard,
who was Secretary of the Navy at the time can per-
haps answer. Charges, to our certain perronal
knowledge, embracing the circumstances above re-
lated, with other acts not more Justifable,
we're preferred against him. The officer preferring
was informed by Mr.. Southard that the Navy De-
partment could not recognize the principle that a
Junior officer should set himself up as the champion
of the wrongs of the whole service. The officer re-
monstrated, and endeavored to convince Mr. South
ard that the true interests of the Navy required the
investigation and that the Department. acting on the
abundant information WnIcn Wasa It's oisPVsu, ouSht
itself TO become the champion of the wrongs of the
whole service" The only reply to this remonstrance
was an order to proceed to forthwith 1t is al
most needless to add that the officer resigned and re-
tired from the Navy in disgust.
We shall again turn to the subject, and villas
we trust will all contemporaries, of whatever po-
litica creed-continue to expose.a and denounce the
denquences of these petty tyrants, until = the pow
ers that be" shall, by the omripotent sway OF pub
lie opinion, be compelled to effect radical and COM
plete reformation 10 the whole of this nefarious and
unrighteous system. 3
A subsequent number of the Evening Post con-
tains the details of another act OF similar nature on
the part of Com. CREIGHTON, in the treatment OF
gunner, named Andrews
Whom he forced to discharge congreve rocket
in his naked hand, because previous rocket had
failed to go off to his satisfaction. The gunner

blasphemies from the vulgar tyrant who, among
other things exclaimed, shut your mouth yon damn
cd Internal scoundrel or, I'll break every bone in
your ugly body This threat was accompanied
with appropriate gestures and the intimidatcd Off
Ger was literally forced to Chamber out on naked
SPAR and set off the rocket in his naked hand. The
consequence was his breast and arm were terribly

Mr.. PEcKmAM

am reluctantly called upon by an article
in the Herald of the Times, charging me with GER
tain expressions, to say few words to the public.
Mr. Benjamin Hazard is undoubtedly, the author
of that article, and has been very unfair in commit
ting to public print any free and unguarded con-
versation upon politics and still more ungenerous
in misstating facts and substituting his own version
for my language. If Mr.. Hazard had known the
fact that stand i'll the way of who is look
ing for offce-if he had known my determination
not to ask for, or accept one, presume he would
not have deemed that publication expedient for as
have nothing to ask of the public but good laws
and civil treatment, ought to enjoy my ewn'opin-
ions upon abstract principles of government, be
those opinions what they may. If Mr.. Hazard has
determined to declare against me, be it so
That is matter over which have no control bu,
| am not obliged to declare war against him in re-
turn. The faults Of Mr. Hazard, I had rather throw
IA veil over than expose IL had rather stretch out
both hands to save, than one to sink him; and as
the world is large enough for us both do not think
he will ever be in my way.

The Mar Ciaim.-Our readers in this vicinity
have lately heard considerable about the Mar claim
and there is Mar stock in the market, in which it
is said considerable speculations have been made.
The following account of the origin and nature of
this claim is given in the Limington Recorder, and
probably comes from n gentleman at that place who
has paid some attention to the investigation of the
subject.--Portland Advertiser
The Earl of Nar.-This nobleman who COM
manded the army of the Pretender in the Scottish
rebellion of l7l9, is said to have left son and
daughter at Newcastle-upon-T when he and the
unfortunate prince mado their escape into France.
Soon after, the son, quite boy, came to America
and landed at Portsmouth, N, H., where he lived
short time and finally married i'm Kittery, i'm this
county. After the British government granted a
pardon to the Earl with permission for him to return
to his estate at Newcastle, he sent for his son who
went to England and had an interview with his fa-
ther. 1t was agreed the son should return to
America, and accompany his wife to England, but
circumstances of an extraordinary nature detained
him for three years in this country; at last he
was suddenly taken sick and died.
He left six children who settled in different parts
of Maine and New Hampshire from whom origin
atcd nearly all in this part of America, who bear the
name of Mar. The heirs have lately taken mea-
sures to recover the immense property left by the
Earl of Mar in England, and have sent an agent to
Newcastle upon Tyne for this purpose. The pro-
perty is said to the enormous sum of sixty
million of dollars.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 20, 1885.
THE ELECTION.


On Wednesday next the General Assembly OF
this State will in this town, when the votes
for general officers will be counted by committee
offhe lower House and the result proclaimed to the
sovereign people. The nature Of the result so faI
as it concerns the Governor and Lieutenant Cover
nor is ascertained to be about one hundred majority
in favor of Gov. Francis and 1t. Gov Hazard
Judging from the results of the former elections, we
presume that the administration Senate is nearly II
not quite all elected by like majorcs We have
noticed disposition the part of the aristocratc
papers (particularly the Providence Journal) to
claim majority of the Senate for the Bank party.
What other motive than the hope of being able to
cheat us out of the election has induced those pa
pers to circulate such unfounded intelligence we
have yet to learn. The Journal knows as well as
ourselves that the best if the only criterion pre-
vious to the meeting of the Assembly by which to
ascertain which class of Senators is elected is the
state of the vote between the candidates for Cover
nor. Gov. Francis then being acknowledged to be
elected by all partes is it not more probable that
the Senators associated with him also elected,
than the Senators associated with Knight. We are
aware that a prox, called Gov. Ears prox differ
ent in several respects from either the administra-
ton or wig prox was circulated every part of the
State, and if it is from this circumstance that the
Journal counts upon the election of their senate, we
think they reckon without their host. So far from
avaiIing them in the final result, it is opinion
that it will be found when the proxies are counted
that the maores of the administration senate will
for the most part equal if not exceed the majority for
Gov. Francis, and for this plain reason that Fran
cs' majority upwards of one hundred over
Knight the latter of whom stood at the head of both
the other proxies We have alluded above to the
motive which might have Influenced the Journal in
publishing for facts the last hope of despair. We
have nothing to disguise upon this subject. We
call upon our friends to be wide awake on election
day. The party or individuals of the party who
have descended to such mean, pitiful and corrupt
measures for the purpose of obtaining triumph at
the polls, will not hesitate to practise the same
mean, pitiful and corrupt measures in counting the
proxes Another circumstance should be duly con-
sidered and we mention it not that we have reason
to suspect the individual concerned, but merely to
show that the opportunity exists and the manifest
improperly connected with it. 1t is well known
that one of the wig candidates for the senate is the
clerk of the town where he resides and what an op-
portunity not to say temptation is now presented to
that person is unnecessary for to mention, when
it is known that the proxies for each town remain
in the custody of the town clerk until sent to the
Assembly. Let our friends then be awake on cleo
ton day.

He then called for another bowl, and having quaff-
