TRsUBLE AMONG THE DocroKs.-Our old friend
Dr. Brsndreth and DR.. Chabert, are both in trouble
although both were fortunate enough to get rid Of
their beautiful wives without much trouble, one
having voluntarily abandoned her bed and board,
and the other having gone TO heaven.
Count Fasistro has brought action in the Supe-
r'er Court against DR.. Brandrcth, for $1,000, being
the value Of services rendered him in reading over
medical treatise, punctuating the same, putting
IN afew bits or borrowed eloquence, and doing it
up IN very readable grammatical form. Whether
he will rccOperwe know not DR.. Brandreth fur

some droll disclosures, of the way in which bro
chues are wrtten, and beef and breaches procured.
DIR. Chabertis also in trouble. FACTION for SLAM
der is hanging over him, like the sword over the
head of the tyrant Dionysius and how he will come
out, who can tell! The heirs of old Rapelje have
swept all his property away, with the exception Of
his power of eating prsssic acidaad that they left
with ourfriend, of his goods and chattels

1t numbered at least TWENTY THOUS-

sinew," the true hard working Democracy
OF the country. The federalss had a con-

though they spent thousands of dollars, de-

The Convention was addressed by Hon.

The following resolutions in favor of the

and distinguished public officer:
RPSOtUed-That we have the most un-
limited confidence in the intelligence, pa
trlotism, and Grmness of DAVID r. POR-
TER, from the able and efficient manner in
which he has sustained the PUBLIC FAITH,
raised the credit of the Commonwealth at
home and abroad, we have reason to be
proud of him as our chief magistrate.
ResOiUed-That we most heartily ap-
prove Of his recommendations in favor of
Bank reform,as also his energetic measures
in favor of completing the unfinished por-

ReS0tUed-That we HEARTILY RESPOND

Louis Philippe and the ambassadors.
The following curious statement is pub

"On arrival at st. Cloud, from the Cha
teau 'Eu, the King gave audience to the
diplomatic body; the ambassador of Prussia
address all his Majesty as follows:
"Sire, the King, my master, charges me
TO express to you the hopes that no change
will take place in the amicable relations ex-
isting between France and Prussia; he is
deslrous preserving the sentiments which
animated his predecessor"
Louis Philippe replied: "The King,
your master, Monsieur = Ambassador,
takes singular manner Of giving me proofs
of amity, in signing treaty which is an
outrage on France. He places himself at
the direction of madman like Lord Pal

This scene made adeep impression on all
present at The audience. NJ. Rothschld was
present in his quality as Austrian Consul
Uneasy at the Kings language, he went to
the Queen, expressed to her his astonish-

her to intervene to bring his Majesty back

"When the King" replied the Queen
"has line of conduct firmly fixed, i never

INDEPENDENT TREAsuRY.

The following is the fourth section of an
act entitled "an act to establish the Treas
ury Department approved on the I'd Of Sep
tember, 1889, by GEORGE WASHING
TON:
"Sec. a. And be it further enated, That
it shall be the duty, of the TREASURER TO re-
ceiUe and KEEP the moneys Of the United
States, and to disburse the same, &c. He
shall at all times submit to the Secretary Of
the Treasury and the comptroller or either
of them, the inspection Of the money IN
his hands.
The following is the Both section of the
same act:
"Sec. 30. And be it further enacted,
That the duties and fees to be collected by
virtue Of this act shall be received IN gold
and SiLUer coin ONLY"
1t will thus be seen that the act to estab-
ish Treasury, approved by Martin Van
Buren, on the 4th of July, 1910, is identi-
cal in principle with the act as approved on
the I'd of September 1889, by George
Washington, that the Independent Treasu-
ry system is a return to the good old plan
of the trainers of the Constitution. That
Martin Van Buren,, in recommending and
approving the gsystem, is only doing just
what the Father Of his Country die, and
that now, in establishing this system we are
only changing practices silently introduced
by Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretl-
ry of the Treasury, aud the great patron of
Fund Mongering Federism ard Arstocra-
cy, and getting back to original purpose of
the Constitution and to the original prac-
tice under it,-Main Age.

MAINE ELECTION.


The result in this State appears 10 be still
in some doubt, notwithstanding the vociie-
rous growing Of the opposition papers on
Saturday, The following, from the Bay
State Democrat of Saturday afternoon, is
the latest we have on the subject:
MAINE ELECr1oN. The result is still in
doubt, and the scattering votes begin TO APP
pear more numerous than was expected;
there were ID ia Carmel, and IL in Dres-
den There is no choice Of member of
Congress in the Oxford District, the demo-
cratic vote being about equally divided be-
tween Paris and Littlefeld. There is no
choice in Washington and Hancock Dis
trict aud the same doubt in regard TO the
PeLobscot District
The Senate is, of course, "whig," as the
Cumberland vote decides that matter. The
House will depend for its political complex
ion on the elections next Monday to fill va
cancies. Yesterday we stated that if the
federal party were TO be believed, the feds
had carried every thing. The complexion
of things is somewhat changed to-day. The
federalists are not so sanguine of success,
and the FACTS do not bear them out in their
boastings. The following table exhibits the
true state of the vote, by counties, so far as
we have been able TO obtain it, relying in
most cases in federal authority.

EXPENSES OF GOVERNMENT.

The Federal Editors keep sterotyped in
their papers, in many instances, the AT
ROCIOUS LIE, that under Mr.. Van Bu-
ren's Administration, the expenses Of Gov
ernment have increased from $l3 100000,
to 39,000,000. Our Democratic friends
should bear in mind, therefore, the follow
ing FACTS
Ist. Expenses Of Government for the
year 1899, instead of 9,000, 900 as stated
by the opposition, were only 13,32O,sOO
Is This apears from an official statement
of the Secretary of the Treasury, and is un-
doubtedly correct.
I'd. Taking into consideration the ad-
vancement of the Republic in resources,
wealth, population &c. for the last twelve
years, the expenses of Government have
absolutely been LESS SINCE Gen. JACKsoN's
ELECTION, THAT THEY WERE BEFORE This
has been repeatedly shown in Congress by
the friends Of the Administration; and the
Federalists have never been able to disprove
it.
Sd. The President and the Heads of De-
partments have no tight TO use dollar OF
the public money until it is first appropri-
aled By Congress, and the Federal party in
ErtraUagmlce, and the Democratic Parf1

shown again and again, by reference to the
records Of Congress themselves

retrenchment Of 100000 has been
made in the public expenditures; and in his

A FACT.

A certain whig having boaslingly said
that we shall have good times as soon as we
can get change in the administration; a
labOring man who was standing by said ::
yes, if you can only elect President that
will pay all the old debts of the people, and
relieve them from the consequences of their
past extravaganza and folly. He then asked
the whig what they meant to do if they
succeeded in electing their Candidate for the
Presidency. o! said he,we mean to make
the times better. But what do yon mean
to do TO make them better Why, we
mean TO get the General Government to
assume the State debts, and to regulate the
currency by making BANK that will have
the power when one section of the country
consumes more than 1t produces to enable
the people to bOrrOU to meet their pressing

their expenses, and thereby producing a
