THEr LIKE HIN But TREr HAVE HAD ExoueH.
The following resolutions were adopted by
meeting Of the Democracy Of the second
district in Maine:-
Resolred, That the administration Of Presi
dent Pierce has been economical, efficient and
faithful to the constitution, and maintain ed
the honor and interest Of the country at home.
Resotred That the Hon. James Buchanan il
our first choice for President Of the United
States; that we believe that his nomination
would add 9 new guarantee to the stability
OF republican institutions, and that it would
be responded to by an unprecedented majori-
ty OF the American people ana that the del.
egates OF the second Congressional district be
and are hereby requested to use all fair aud
honorable means to secure his nomination.
The simple Interpretation Of those two res
olutions is this We think President Pierce
has done very well. all things considered; but
we think We can do better with somebody
else. We have tried him and are satisfied
Give Us somebody else.

The BLUE RIDGE RAmRoAp.-The
Charleston Courier learns that President
Frost and Chief Engineer Gwynne, of the
Blue Ridge Rail Road, were engaged at An
derson c. H., from the 10th to the 5th inst,
in examining proposals for contracts and in
closing contracts, according to offers, for the
bridging and tunnelIng of this great work.
The competition and attendance Of parties
offering to undertake, on good and response.
bic terms, were encouraging, and proposals
were received from experienced and we'll ap-
proved contractors from Pennsylvania, Vir-
ginia, North Carolina and Georgia, as well
as South Carolina. The Stump House tun.
nel-ihe largest on the line-was let TO
George Collyer, who had acquired good
experience and SUCCESS in this branch in Eng.
land before undertaking any works in Amer
lea. He has since equal success and approv-
al, and has executed many dificnlt contracts
in tunneling for rail roads in Pennsylvania:
and his offers to the Blue Ridge Company
are vouched by strong testimonials. The
remaining portions Of the work have been
let to responsible contractors, and the pros.
pect is that the work will be pushed forward
with energy.

The OLD CONTINENTAL MosEY.-A pfopo-
sition is TO be laid before Congress, asking
for the redemption of the old continental
money! matter that should have been at
tended to long ago. 1t appears that petition
has been sent 10 Senator Fish by Mr. Me-
kissOD, of New York City, praying that not.
wiihstanding liberal provisions of Hamilion's
aei, quite large portion OF the continental
money still remains unredeemed. At the time
Of flaruiItOn's great report, in 1890, the total
debt Of the United States, including interest,
amounted to S54,l24,464; and the State
debts, which were assumed, to about twenty.
i've millions more. making in all in round
numbers eighty millions. No such sum was
ever paid by the United States Treasury
Much Of the continental money was destroy
ed and lost. Some was boarded and lost
sight Of. Some was locked up in trusts and
pledged. A portion was no donbt withheld
by patriotic citizens, unwilling to add to the
embarrassment Of the government. Some was
retained as relics. Altogether, from these
various sources, considerable amount es.
capped the beneficial provisions of the bill, and
now remains unpaid.
There can be no doub: that these old evi.
dences of Indebtedness ought to be redeemed,
in money or otherwise, as soon as possible.
IL does not comport with the honor of the
United States that their unpaid promises TO
pay should be hawked about at auctions of
curiosities.
