For the Press.
The Vacant Judgeship.

There are good reasons for claiming that the
Judgeship now vacant should be filed by an
appointment from the Middle District. OF the
seren Judges now on the Bench four are from
the Eastern District, tro from the Western,
and only one from the NJ ddle. As these Dis
tricts are pretty nearly equal in respect To ter
ritory and population, a fair distribution would
give the eighth Judgeship TO the Middle. We
hear, among the gentlemen prominently men
toned for the position, the name of Hon. Jo-
seph Baker OF Augusta. III.
The above comes from the Kennebec Jour
nal, by which it can be seen that "old Kenne-
should remember that during the past seven
years the Middle District had the Chief Justice,
Hon. John S. Tenney Of Norridgewock, and
two Associate Justices, Rice and May three
in all-while the Western District had only
two Judges, Davis and Goodenow, any of the
time, and one only during the temporary re-
moval Of Judge Davis, while the Wells de-
mocracy were in power. The Western Dis
trict claims that the Office should be flied by
some one from this section, and proposes Judge
Barrows as one "eminently TT for the place."
Another thing-it must be conceded that the
necessity for Judge in this District in raca-
ton is much more pressing than in any other,
owing to the larger amount Of business done
here. We are advised that all the attorneys
in Sagadahoc county, with the exception of
two who were absent, have recommended the
appointment of Judge Barrows, so that one
portion, at least, of the Middle District is
willing to have justice done. c.

Prize Gases in the Courts.

The Secretary of the Navy reports the fol-
lowing cases of prizes on which final DEGREES
of distribution have beea made, TO wit: Bos,
ton, thirteen cases, eight settled, giving $685.
$40. The cost and expenses of court being

sales in fifty, $5l9,l2l: expenses $79005; net
$439, $50; costs, &c, 10 80 100 per cent. Phil
adelphia, ninety cases, twenty nine adjudicat-
ed. Sales s357,2l2; net s267,743; expenses
nearly Is per cent. Key West, seventy-eight
cases, thirty-four awarded. Sales 1891 ,72S !;
net ss56,306; expenses lilo per cent. The
amount of sales, 2,026, 449; costs and expen-
ses, S21S, 424: net amount of distribution, 81 y
760,549. Three hundred and sixty cases are
reported, of which thirty are steamers, six
ships, thirteen brigs, two hundred and twenty
four schooners, twenty-five sloops, fifteen
banks, and hfty-two small boats. No reports
of the condemnations at Baltimore or Wash
ington are given. A lew were sent to Balti-
more. large number of vessels, unsuitable
for sea voyages, were either destroyed or used
by the squadron capturing them. Some cases
have been decided nearly two years. Others
have been speedily adjudicated, the difference
arising from different usages and practices in
different courts. The Secretary recommends
to Congress the passage of laws to facilitate
the adjudication of prize cases. The legisla-
ton of former years is said to be i'll adapted
to the present condition Of the country.

Town Elections.

Dixmont elected an entire board of republi-
cans for town officers.
Pittston was warmly contested by the cop
perheads, who made great efforts, aud expect
ed to succeed. But the friends of the Union
were too strong for them.
In Kennebunk. Readfeld, Ltchfield and
Sidney, the friends Of the National Admins
tration and the Union carried everything be-
fore them.
In Albany, Hartford, Gilead, Rumford,
Bethel, Sweden, Buckfeld, Greenwood, Wood
stock, Sumner and Fryeburg, in Oxford coun-
ty, the republicans and Union men carried
everything before them. The copperheads
made great exertions, and expected to succeed
In most OF the above named towns, but the
"Oxford bears" were too much Tor them.
1t Is very evident that concerted effort was
made throughout the State, in the towns that
elected officers last Monday, by the copper
heads They wished and intended to surprise
the republicans, and defeat them, so that the
results of these elections could be brought to
bear upon that of New Hampshire, which
takes place on Tuesday next They are wo-
fully disappointed.

PURE BRANDY FROM GRAPE.-Mr. Speer,
Of Passaic, N. j., whose Sambuci wines have
achieved worldwide reputation, has for two
or three years past been importing superior
article of pure Port brandy from the Castelia
distillery Of Portugal, which he is introducing
in this country. The best way to test good
wine and brandy is to drink it, and judging
from some samples received from Mr.. Speer,
we unhestatingly pronounce his manufacture
of wine and the brandy he imports to be ex-
celent.
Invalids and aged persons, whose systems
require the aid of a gentle stimulus, can find
nothing better adapted to their necessities,
than Mr.. Speer's wine. Knowing the manu-
facturer, they can rely with confidence upon
its purity, and pure wine is something rarely
found in these days of aduteration and hum
bug.
The brandyis said by physicians to be supe-
rior to French brandy for medical uses
The signature of Mr.. Alfred Speer is over
every bottle OF his wine and the brandy he i'm
ports.
Our druggist, ii. II. Hay, keeps it.

take the left hand then win go to the right +;
or if thou depart to the right hand, then will
go to the left"
Such was the position the editor of the Ar
gus then took. and he has never, to this day,
indicated change of desire in this regard.
He was for dividing the Union; for saying
to the South, Hayward Sisters, depart in
peace" What more conclusive evidence could
be offered that his Unionism was based upon
conditions!
Now, every day, his paper is arrayed in OPP
position to the Government. 1t is rocking
with treason and with the blood of our loyal
sons who have fallen in this unrighteous strife.
The indignant protests of the soldier against
the course that paper is pursuing, is borne to
us on every breeze. The Argus loyal? Then
is Vallandigham! then is Fernando Wood !!
then is Tom Seymour! then is Floyd and jeff
Davis! No, its cup of rejoicing would over
flow if the Republican Administration were
overthrown, though it were done by jeff Da-
Wis conscripted soldiers.
The editor of the Argus need not ask us to
name Others We have given him a test by
which to try his friends. If they are like him
and his banting he may safely label them dis
loyal That test will distinguish between the
copperhead and the democrat. The copper
head, of which he is the type, may want the
country saved, but only by his partzan friends,
and to afford field for the exercise of their
party sway. To them Union without party
control, like a Union without a slave, would
have no attractions. A political heaven would
be to them the worst of hell, If they could not
rule-if the slave-drVer could not there crack

sHave mot the Courage have Wei

The Press and Mr. Spring roundy assert that
III ere are many disloyal Democrats in Portland,
but singularly enough they have not courage to
name one, though challenged to do il. Their
90 urage or their yeraclty is sadly at discount
the public can judge which, Argus.
The Press has never asserted that there are
mday dsIoyal Democrats in Portland, for two
reasons,--iirst, we don't believe there are many
disloyal men of any kind in our city, at least
we hope not, and second, disloyal Democrat
crat mist be loyal to the government of the
majority. Mr.. Jefferson, the father Of Ameri-
can Democracy, made implicit obedience to
the expressed win Of the majority one of the
fnt articles In his creed. A Democrat Is no
copperhead. 1t is only those who have sto-
len the name Democrat to cover up their dis
loyalty-who have stolen the livery of heaven
to serve the devil in-that are copperheads
It Is charitable to believe very large mgori-
~ of those who help to make up what is now
called the Democratic party, are honest, and
love their country with true and commenda-
BILE devotion. AT least we hope as much.
But such people-the honest masses-how-
ever cruelty they may be deceived, or howev-
er mistaken in their heads, are right at heart !;
and none would detest che copperheads more
cordially than they. could they be made to see
them 10 their true light.
II the author Of the above quoted paragraph
means that we have not the courage to name
one Of the se!fstyled Democrats of Portland,
whom we consider disloyal, he is simply mis-
taken-was never more so in his life. OF
course we cannot look into mans heart and
read his motives, but it is pretty safe maxim
that you can tell what jug contains by what
comes from 1t. Grapes are no more gathered
from thorns or figs from thistles now than
they were two thousand years ago. Adopting
this rule Of judgment-the safest the case ad-
mits olive dare name at least one selfstyled

consider disloyal, and that one is the editor OF
