administrator mode OF dealing with it, is re-
garted by an intelligent observer, may be
seen in the following remarks of the Paris
correspondent of the National Intelligencer:
Seriously, this difficulty between the
United States and Denmark is now exciting
attention in all the capitals of Europe. Its
discussion has employed the pens ot'the ahest
writers of the press. There seems to be but
one opinion as to the unjust and onerons char
aoter of the tribute to which Denmark subjects
the commerce of the world. Enllghtenso
opinion and strong sense OF individnai ma
lional interest are with Us all over Europe.
If there is any sympathy manifested with Den
mark. it is that which naturally attaches Itself
TO the weaker party in a contest with the
strong, quickened, perhaps, In this instance,
by an instructive feeling at uneasiness and ap-
prchension al seeing the United States inter-

bearing upon universal commerce, has been
and is considered here as one proper for Euro

rather than the American settlement and f'u-

Who will be Governors

The Gardiner Journal, ones of the neutral
papers sever the left, indulges in some spec
alatious as to who will be Governor of Maine
mex, year. This paper was one of the promi.
nent organs of MIR. Morrill,, and was always
repudiaied by the wings OF Gardiner. Yet il
Is one of the first to define what it now consid-
ers 10 be the duty OF the wings OF the Legisla-
ture, and with brazen-taced effrontery peculiar
TO the neutral papers of like diminutive cali
bre in this state, volunteers the following sug-
gestions =
They, the sstraight Wings, are bound by
al their promises, direct or Implied made
during the campaign, 10 use every effort to ell
eyate Mr.. Reed to the office of Governor OF
the State, and TO oppose the prominent meas
ures of the national administration. They
have condemned other men for The deserton
of Mr.. Reed and whig principles as they con-
slider them, and after what they have said, it
will not become them on the meeting of the
Legislature TO do themselves what they have
been SO loud in cundemning in others. The
opportunity of making Mr.. Reed Governor
will probably be presented TO them in this
manner :-Sixty-two Morrill, representatives
will vote to send to the Senate the names OF
Morrill, and Reed if the tweniy-one Reed
men vote with them, these names VIII be sent
up. All but two Of the members OF the oen-
ate are opposed TO MIR. Morrill, and belng
obliged TO choose between Morrill, and Reed,
no one doubts but MIR. Reed would in that
state of the case be elected Governor by the
Senate.
Such an explanation of the duties OF the
straight wings will be entitled TO just as much
weight as they are inclined TO give TO it.
They will not be likely to consider themselves
under any very great obligation to the ''fusion-
ists'' for their election TO Office, and proffer
of dicker with Morrilism from the editor of
the Gardiner Journal is a kind of bait that
won't take. The wings of Kennebec have
given abundant evidence, particularly in the
nomination of the Senatorial ticket, that Nor
rillsm ('Anson Ply has none of their sym
pathies, and their motto is s'hands off, in re-
lation TO any man suspected,of the least faint.
The fusionists, in the depth of their. disap-
poin,ment and .chagrin at the result of the
election, seem TO derive considerable consola-
tion from prophesying the chances of the nom
election Of Mr.. Wells by the Legislature
We say let them abstract all the comfort they
can from their forlorn hope. Judge Wells is
the man who has been obliged to bear their
slander and abuse in a pre-eminent degree,
and we want to see him in the GubernatoriaI
chair. We believe he will go there if he
lives but at the same time we admit the ex-
change of Anson P Morrill, for Isaac Reed
would be considered an exceedingly favorable
indication of an improved political age. Look
at the subject in any light, and the comfort
under disappointment now enjoyed by the
Morrill, men in hoping for the defeat of Judge
Wells must be like that of man on an ice
berg barefoot, essentially cold comfort.

CITY OFFICIALS IN New York INDICTED.
There was great excitement in New York
on Saturday in consequence ofthe announce
ment that the Grand Jury had indicted, for
official misdemeanor, three Aldermen three
Common Councilmen, and two Police Justices
The Grand Jury made their presentment in
the afternoon, but the names of the indicted
were not made public. Nearly all the officials
manifest much anxiety. The Foreman of the
Jury Mr.. Carter, observed that the GrandJury
had duly and diligently examined into all tho
matters and things submitted to them, and
agreed on the indictments handed IN as neces-
sary to be found; during their examination they
regretted TO observe that the course of justice
was impeded AMI the good government of the
city retarded, very oftcn by the action of Off
cials placed in positions Of trust and honor; that
parties were often committed to prison who
should not have been committed, and that par
ties were often permitted to escape commit
ment and Indictment who should have been
sent for trial the Grand Jury regretted that
such state Of things should exist, and had en-
deavored to remedy it by indictment Of the par
ties offending the management OF the courts
by Police Justices was faulty and dehcient, II
not still worse, and on the whole the members
Of the Grand Inquest were convinced that

Great Democratic Meeting in New York.
An immense democratic meeting came off
at Tammany Hall on Friday last. Gov. Sey-
mour made the speech of the occasion, which
was received with unbounGed applause. The
Commercial Advertiser says 1T was ex-

question, and touched more or less upon almost
every popular issue" The Journal of Com

" The attention of our readers will be at

He discusses the prominent topics of the day
with good sense, ability and candor; and his

hearty cheers by 5000 people, and $4,000

State Fair,

The Maine State Agricultural Society held
its first Exhibition last week at Gardiner. 1t
was considered by some an experimental affair,
and in that light, and as the first of the kind, it
may be deemed entirely successful. The atten-
dance was very large, but the variety of articles
displayed was not SO great as probably will be
at subsequent Exhibitions, when its purpose as
a.STATE FAIR shall be more generally known.
The place selected for the exhibition was a
most pleasant and Inviting one. Gardiner is a
very beautiful and thriving city, having an ac-
tive and enterprIslng business population, and
many very elegant public buildings aud private
residences. 1t presents, too, many points of
attractive scenery 10 delight the eye and satisfy
the taste.
The exhibition Of mechanical arts was good
although there were rot many remarkable pro-
duciions of skill. Still, this department was
honorable 10 the skill of the Maine mechanics.
The fruit was generally very superior, and
showed that Maine has the calability OF being
an important fruit-bearing State.
There was The usual variety of excellent do
mestic productions, highly credtable 10 the no.
table housewives of Maine. There was fine
collection Of horses, as well as some very ordr
nary ones. Al the trial of speed of trotting
horses, there was an immense gathering of
people. The course was one half mile in ex-
tent, almost oblong in shape, very uneven, with
heavy grades and sharp corners. Good time
was made, however, and the exciting contest
continued for several hours.
The show Of cattle was gond. The Dur
hams, Jerseys, Ayreshires aud Herefords, iull
blood and grade bulls, with the cows, are IIv-
ing evidences that The stock of Maine will com
fa ,h that ,f kar
But we cannot enter into detail. We pre-
sumo this is but the commencement of series
of Annual State Fairs, that shall be among
our most valued and useful public festivals
They canntt be otherwise, if wisely managed.
On Wednesday evening, the Stale Agricul-
tural Society held meeting in Gardiner, Sam
uel Butman, Esq, President, in the chair A
communication was received from w. S. King,
Secretary Of the National Agricultural Socie-
ty, inviting the cooperation of the Maine State
Society, and the election of delegates TO attend

60 We regret TO learn that serious row took
place at Georgetown on Friday last, between
party of American fishermen who had just
put in there, and number of Georgetown
men who were occupied in digging drain.
The row was occssioned by some insulting
expressions being used on both sides as the
Americans were proceeding up town from
their vessels. Sticks, stones and shovels were
freely used on the occasion, by which several
persons were considerably hurt, and one man
had his thigh broken with a shot fred from a
revolver by one of the Americans. An in

This is one Of the most difficult drills known
in the service, and nothing equal to it was
ever witnessed in this State; but the Grays
went through with the whole, in a manner
syhich elected the unbounded praise of the
whole Brigade, both officers and men; and
called down the plaudits and shouts of applause
from the crowd of delighted spectators. The
perfect and thorough manner in which they
acquitted themselves reflects great credit on
Capt. Richardson, who has proved himself
hero, and whose name and praises are in the
mouths Of every one. As the boys are often
exponents of a noteriously popular sentiment,
so the name of this illustrious corps is heard
along the street, coupled with expressions of
admiration and unbounded praise, and they at
tracted more attention than all the rest of the
