that has been to him. He has done much to
give character to the democratic party, to keep
up its fortunes and to secure victory to its
banners. lift has honored him he has honor
ed 1t still more. He has been one ofits bright
est ornaments; one of its most gallant defend
ers, while the laurels that have crowned him
have been won in the pursuit of an honorable
profession rather than those conferred by par
ty favor. We doubt, were the balance fairly
struck, if he would be found largely indebted
to any party. And then it is queer idea that,
because man has received favor from party,
he must follow and support that party when it
swings off into treason ard opposition to the
government. There is point at which party
obligations cease, and that is when the claims
of party clash with the higher claims of coun-
try; and if Gen. Shepley is obliged to disre-
regard party claims we dare say it is precisely
on this ground. But then the Argus appre-
cates no such motive as this, and would have
its party friends bend to the yoke, submit to
the collar, and serviely follow the leaders
though their route lay through sympathy with
rebellion, treason to country, infdelity to God,
trcachery TO humanity, violence to the best in
stincts of the human soul, and the rejection of
every obligation, human and divine, that binds
man to his duty. No man can follow such
leadership; no honest man will attempt so to
lead, and no patriot can submit to follow the
men who are now engineering the fortunes
of the misnamed Democratic party,

County Temperance Convention.

The County Temperance Association will
meet at West Baldwin tomorrow morning at
10 o'clock. 1t is expected that the attendance
will be large, especially that the people of
Baldwin and the neighboring towns will as
semble in mass. Important questions are to
be discussed, and itrequires the highest wis
dom properly to understand and decide them.
Nothing should be said or done to leopard the
cause Of humanity In any Of Its forms; and
we are confident that that is the purpose Of
the friends Of temperance. We trust the sew
eral towns will be well represented.

Startling Developments.
AUGUSTA, Aug. 16. 1868.

|
| To the Editor of the Press:
| Recent developments in the Provost Mar
shal's Office here, have caused considerable ex-
element and vast number of rumors are
atioat. Last evening Sergt Chas II. Bradbu-
| ry of Readfield, (who is substitute for Hon.
Jas. G. Blaine,) and Mr.. Winfield S. Norcross
| of Monmouth, who have been assistants in the
Marshars office, were arrested on a charge of
having furnished false certificates of exemp-
ton to various parties and received therefor
sums of money, ranging from seventy, to one
hundred dollars. The criminals were acting
| under the direction and in the employ of the
Board; Bradbury guarded the outer door of
the room, where the medical examinations
were made, and Norcross registered the names
of the exempts and filed their certificates.
preparatory to their being signed by the full
Board. They mutually agreed on a process
OF swinding, which has proved decidedly sue
cessful and would have been so continued had
not the merest chance discovered and expos
ed it.
1t appears that when the drafted men pre-
sented themselves at the door of the private
room for examination, and could not gain ad-
mittance on account of business within, Brad
bury would take them aside tell them that
there was no necessity for examination, as he
would furnish them exemption certificates for
so much money, naming the sum. He then
woald take their names and residence, and
pass them in, to Norcross, who at once enter
ed them upon the register, and annexing some
disease. filled out their certificates, got them
signed by the Board, and returned them to
Bradbury who received his stipulated price,
on delivery of the paper. This business has
been going on perhaps fortnight, and the
two fellows have probably realized two thou
sand dollars therefrom. None of the other
clerks are suspected Of any connection In the
affair; but a thorough investigation which is
being made, will settle this point.
The frauds were discovered through the
vigilance Of one or two men, who charged Dr.
Wilbur with being bribed for false certificates
For awhile the Doctor was the subject of much
animadversion, which the present cases fully
remove. Five drafted men from a neighbor-
ing town, who had got such false papers from
as here stated, revealed. We are happy to
chronicle that Capt. Davis, DIR. Wilbur and
Commissioner Williams 1.-THE Board of Enroll
ment,) are fully freed from blame and our own
acquaintance with these gentlemen, warrants
the assertion, that a more high minded Board
could not have been selected for the duties of
CONSUMPTION. Where some two hundred men
were examined daily, and the records were
under the superintendent of Norcross, it was
impossible for either of the Boards to have
recognized or recollected the names entered,
or to suspect that any paper had been falsely
made.
Norcross and Bradbury declare their inno-
cence, but the private memorandum of the lat
ter and the testimony of their victims, are
more than sufficient to give them their full
deserts. MAcHIGoNNE.
