4 series of letters from Europe and the
Southern States, two of which appear in

they are from interesting fields and able
pens.

1t is rumored that the Bartonians have
offered neighbor Earle, of the Standard,
$500 to remove his press to Barton, and
that he will do it. What will the Gin pal

ran his line across the town farm, and so
onup by the hoe factory of Ely, Balch &

remarkable easy grade.
The tallest yet. Mr.. Benz. J. Griffin of
CRANKY has measured hollyhock that
grew in Mr.. Ashly Appleton's garden and

Cranky products.

was called for at the concert and done very
nicely. Gottschalk's ''Last Hope" piano
solo by Mr.. Morey, was loudly encored, and
was considered by many the pianist's best
effort. The audience at the concert was all
that could have been desired. Every seat
was taken, and yet none had to stand. 1t
was company that listened to, enjoyed,
and appreciated the music. The receipts of
the convention and concert were 1922, which
paid all expenses, with little considera-

Mr.. Beverly Thicker.

The Toronto Globe hits this somewhat no.
torious gentleman rather hard. Speaking of
his letter in relation to his being connected with
the conspiracy to assassinate President Lincoln,
the Globe says:

The Portland daily press., 1865-05-13

In the chaste column in a last evenings
paper, devoted to the editor OF the Press, the
only words we feel called upon to notice are
the following:
"We then cut of the exchange, though Gil
man was exchanging his daily for our soeeklg.
True. he got the exchange again,
few months since, weekly for weekly by
one OF his characteristic and contemptibly
mean tricks"
This refers to the exchange with the Bruins
wick Telegraph. By referring to the 7ele-
graph, Of the first week in March, 1863, we
find the following:
Two weeks since we convicted the editor
OF tue Portland Press of lying, and no,o lie
GUS on ms daily exchange. He sends his
weekly; but he is welcome to that; we DON'T
want it,"
Instead, therefore, of his cutting off our
daily exchange with his weekly, we substitu-
ted the weekly for the daily sent to his Office.
and we may say here, what Is literally true.
that the white paper for our daily at that time
was costing double the subscription price of
his weekly paper.
In relation to the renewal of the exchange
the characteristic and contemptiblv mean
trick" was this: We enclosed too dollars in
letter to Mr.. Tenney, and requested him TO
send the Telegraph to the Press, give credit
for the remittance and return receipt for the
same. He returned the money, saying he had
entered the Press on his exchange list. Does
Mr.. Tenney consider it "mean trick" to pay
or offer to pay money for value received?

The Washington Trials.

A few papers, chiefly those which are either
determined to find fault with everything done
by the Government, or are chagrined to think
they have been foiled in their purpose to gil
their columns day after day with sensation
reports from Washington, complain of what
they call the secrecy of the trial Of the con-
spirators at Washington, and that they are be-
fore military instead of judicial tribunal
and some of them learnedly appeal to the
Constitution, as though the members of the
Cabinet and Joseph Holt don't know what the
provisions OF that instrument are.
We have partial promise of an article up
on this subject from gentleman of eminent
legal ability, who differs from the newspapers
referred to, and who insists upon the perfect
legality and propriety as well as wisdom, of
the course adopted by the Government. While
awaiting his article we will only say, that the
trials are not secret in the sense that secrecy
is intended TO be excluded by law; in no sense
that prejudices the rights of the accused -
for they are present in person and>by counsel,
and with witnesses, and have all the rights of
cross-examination that could be had with
open doors. Were the doors open the Gov
ernment would be obliged to make invidious
discrimination in relation to those who should
enter, or else those of the best fighting quail
ties, the roughs, the shoulder hitters, and the
hardest part of the rabble, would monopolize
the space. How could such a state of things
add to the security of any right of the accus-
ed? Then it would surely be not very wise
proceeding to have the evidence, in wide
spread conspiracy case, daily spread out by
reporters in the daily papers, and sent over
the land by telegraph, giving timely informa-
tion to all who might become implicated, and
thus afford them ample opportunity to escape
before their arrest could be made.
In relation to the military character of the
tribunal, we apprehend that will be found to
be in perfect accordance with law and usage.
The conspirators are not being tried as indi-
viduals merely, who have acted solely on their
own hook, and from their own volition, and to
subserve their own private ends. They are
presumed to be the agents or Instruments of
an ORGANIZED MILITARY POWER hostile to
the Government of the o. s., and this fact, and
not the official position of the party or parties
upon whom the violence was committed,
brings the offenders righttulIy within the ju-
risdiction of a military court But we will
not enlarge, or anticipate what may be more
clearly and authoritatively set forth by the le-
gal gentleman to whom we have referred.
