II Is said that Mr.. johnson Il much exercised
about the election in Kentucky. Hobson Was
the "conservative' johnson candidate, and
Duvall was the regular secesh candidate, and
the latter vas overwhelmingly elected. What
bsttsr could b expected Of State that gave
its electoral vote 10 MeCisllsnf The rebels Of
Kentucky arc more nice than wise; johnson Is
trying to do moro for them than they can do
for themselves.
Rainbows are As rare ss eclipses, and not

mean that the rain Is over for time. II

The Queen Dowagcr. ofthe Sandwich Islands,

The Democratic candidate for Governor, Mr..
Pillsbury, In his speech In Saco, August Sth.
said that Hon. 7. J. Southland, Judges waltron
and Dickerson and others named, were sup
porters OF Johnson's policy. Mr.. Southland
over his own signature denies the soft (it 10
very sony impeachment. and We are authorized
In saying that the statement Is . libel upon
Judge waltron. since he Is not . believer In
nor supporter Of Johnson or his policy. and
ue have reason to believe that Judge Dickerson
has been misrepresented.
President Woods OF Bowdoin College has not
only resigned, but has gone to the Philadelphia
Convention as . delegate. Strange that the
ane old gentleman should at this late day seek
the political arena In which he can possibly win
no houors, and can only succeed In furnishing
those already won In classic shades. There are
men who would have considered Il no light

II Is o pity that the black mans Moses could
not induce his rebel friends to be q little more
reticent In expressing their hopes, for the sake
Of the influence he wishes to exercise over
Northern voters. Speaking Of Johnson's Con-
vention the Richmond Examiner says, "The
Convention Is our salvation. Let us unite to
overthrow the tyrsnts In Congress, and Mr..
Davis wiu regain his liberty at onee."
That's fact. Congress Is the only barrier be-
tween the rebel hordes and the welfare Of the
nation.
