POLITICAL.

The President is doing little less in the
pardoning line, according to recent dispatches
from Washington, as sufficient time must be
allowed for the execution of the papers already
ordered. He has accordingly come down to
fifteen casesin one day, and nine in another,
which is thought to be q very moderate num-

The nomination of Gen. o. s. Ferry for o.
S, Senator from Connecticut gives great salts
faction to Republicans throughout the country.
the fact that Senator Foster was mildly COM
mended by the Copperhead journals probably
injured his prospect, and certainly did not
strengthen the confidence of the country at
large in his political frmness and courage. No
man however was ever written down except by
himself; even copperhead eulogy is less
injurious than the apologetic, uncertain record,
which Senator Foster made for himself in 1861
and the timid attitude he has assumed on va
rious occasions since. Between Gov. Bucking-
ham and Gen. Ferry, the choice was deter
mined mainly by considerations of personal
friendship and preference, and If Connecticut
is satisfied, there is nothing more to be desired
Gen. Ferry's vote may be counted on to neu-
now separates the Connecticut Senator from
his party. The election is ordered for next
Wednesday.
The character of the platform of the Dem
ocratic convention recently held in Kentucky
is well sketched in the following answer of an
ex-rebel officer who was an aspirant for the
favor of the convention
"How do you like the platform ?"
"It's all right" he replied. "Just what we
have been fighting for these four years past
We were whipped on that platform in the field
Perhaps we can do better at the polls"
The Democratic State Committee has ISSUED
a call for convention, to go through the form
of nominating candidate for governor and per
form such other ri tes as may be deemed proper
at City Hall, in Portland, on Tuesday 26tl

The Jefersonian says that the Republican
District Committee have decided to call a con

that Hon. John A. Peters will be candidat
before the convention for it's nomination fo
Representative to Congress from the fourth dis

Secretary Stanton was during the war on
of the worst abused men in the country, bu
nothing so cruel ever happened to him in thos

Even the Washington Union which has calle

bespatters him with a whole column of lauda

SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.
A special messenger arrived yesterday from

nouncing that Fort Goodwin, Arizona, had
been taken by two thousand Indians, and the
garrison, numbering 124, were all massacred
with one exception and the fort burned.
The man who escaped was out hunting at

the firing Of guns during the fight, which last

Exposure of a Scheme 6etsUeen France and
Shaft Spain.

NEW YORK, May 10.
The Herald's Valparaiso correspondent
says certain highly important documents sent
to the Cllilian President by the Dictator of
Peru, have been forwarded by General Kilpat-
rick to Washington, showing that some time
ago, a French stranger died suddenly in Lima,
and that among his effects were found papers,
proving him to have been French Agent,
coming with proposals to the Dictator of Peru
to make himself King or Emperor. promising
him aid in men and money from France, un-
der the Mexican flag, in other words, through
Maximilian. This exposes scheme between
France and Spain to make "jmmp" at all
the small South American Republics. Eng
land approves, but does not help by men or
money.

in favor of the measure, the latter closing the
debate. He considered the Sd section the vital
portion OF the joint resolution, which he would
not give snap of his finger for without it,
He considered it even too lenient, and for
himself, he favored the exclusion of the rebels
until the year 19076, and then it would be too
mild punishment for them. Ii they are to
come back, let them come back and ask for

shall forgive and whom exclude. He consid-

PAST AND GoNE.-In the window of Messrs. Fer
maid & Sons shop ON Middle Street. may be seen
three portraits, drawn from life, which will remind
many OF our citizens OF former imes The first por-
trait Is that Of "Coot" Moody,-by which name she
was known to everybody in Portland-taken by Chas.
y. Cole Her true name was Emma Moody and she
resided in Cape Elizabeth, or Scarboro, with her
sister, the town taking care Of them. But "Coot I"
was great beggar, and would come into the city
once or twice every week, and so home loaded down
with the truck" which she obtained by her importu
nities Last year she was severely burned in her
house, that she died from the injuries she received
After her death the Seectmen of the town removed
her sister to place where she would be comfortably
cared for and sold at auction the "traps" which
"Coot had collected during her long pilgrimage. and
Of which there was large amount Probably there
is hardly family in this city to whom the features of
OF "Coot, as portrayed on the canvas will not be
familiar
The second portrait is that of William Hance,
painted by Goldman. He died years ago. He was a
singular character, and the boys used to make much
sport Of him. Hewas in the war of the revolution,
under Washington and thought more of his old Gen
eral than he did fany other being Divine or human
We can well recollect how quickly the ire of the old
man would reused by some urchin who would creep
close up to him and bawl out f" Washington was a
co"afu !! me OLD mans stair would be appraised,
and woe to the urchin If he came within its reach
Nothing you cou say to the old veteran would of
fend him 50 much as applying this opprobrious epi-
thet to Washington. The picture of him, drawn by
Goldman was taken from life. We remember when
the old man sat for it, with the shocking bad hat and
dipidated features. 1t is perfect in every respect
The third portrait is that of Richard Relhan, who
came here in 1870 and opened barber's shop where
the Casco Bank now is, under the name of John
johnson. He was man possessing great strength,
but nothing was known of his antecedents. He hired
horse and chaise of Jonathan McKenny, to be gone
half day. but drove to Canada to which place Mr..
MoKenny pursued him and had him arrested and
brought back. Then, people began 70 say that he
was the original "Thunderbolt" who had commit
ted extensive depredations in Vermont, and many
believed it until some few years since the real "Thun-
derbolt" died in Vermont -
After expiating for. his offence committed here,
johnson assumed his real name OF Relhan, lived o
virtuous life, Joined the Federal Street Baptist
Church in which he was an exemplary member. and
was much respected in the community for the quiet
and religious life he led and which he maintained up
to the day of his death. .t ~
