The regularity of mad dogs is, that they lack
discrimination, and inconsiderately attack
whatever comes in their way. The political ra-
6Ses the Advertiser has manifested itselfin an
attack upon the reputation of the city which
We certainly should not have expected from any
quarter After copying from the Hartford
Times the paragraph charging Mayor Stevens
with abusing his trust and using the relief
fund for electioneering purposes, the Adyer-
t'ser said, Thursday
If the Times IS correct IN its sta te,ae0t. the
money must have been used without The
knowledge of the Mayor.
~ We called attention to this insinuation that
the statement might be correct We STYLED il
cowardly insinuation, and have seen no
occasion to modify our language. Such grave
charges ought not to be limited and Indirectly
suggested. If there is any foundation for
them an investigation should be boldly demand
ed; if there is none, what are we to think of
the people who give them currency I? Satur-
days Advertiser rather sulllily admits that the
charge is unfounded in the following terms:
In the absence of any tangible evidence that
the Portland relief fund was used to help the
i" ltadical party, speaking favorably for human
nature and mans honor in the management of
affairs OF sacred nature-ace deny 1t!
That will do, but there is another passage in
= the Advertisers amiable article which win not
do. 1t is this: f .f4.f ..t...t f.....fy
'ei We have merely to say that we made our
aenial OF the report with innocent intentions
and with the sincere desire to eXonerate the
City Government from all aspersion of the
Kind, and the high reputation of Mayor Ste
Vens was alluded to as guaranty that the re-
port must be false Thus much for the reDort
and our motives.
We have nothing to do with the Advertisers
motives. If its intentions are innocent, it has
fallen into serious error, and we take leave
to point out for the third time, what everybody
ought to know, that the city government has
no more to do with that fund than the editor
Of the Advertiser. The Mayor received it in
trust Its distribu ion was assigned to COM
mittee of citizens, of which Judge Fox is
chairman and ex-Mayor Mcclellan treasurer
These gentlemen alone have drawn upon the
Mayor from time to time for such sums as were
needed. The Advertisers innocent insinua-
ton did not touch the city government, but
admitted the incredible suggestion that COM
mittee of our best citizens, chosen without re-
gard to their political opinions had used the
funds committed to their charge to influence
the late election! OF course this was mere
midsummer madness, and we are glad to see
that the Advertiser after sober second thought
has seen Git to make a proper apology. .,.

TREAsURE-TRoyE--A CURIOUS RELIc.--An
ancient gold cross was found last winter in an
excavation in the ruins of Glare Castle, in
England, OF which the Queen desired to know
the history. AS treasure-trove it became the
property OF the crown, and by the Queens
command the antiquarians have found out all
about it. There is str .ng reason, they say for
believing that it formed at one time part of
the royal collection of Jewels belonging to King
Edward Ill, for it is recorded that he had
among his jewels, kept for safe preservation in
the Tower Of London, sun croys dor double
oyere de .triHure que est de Ia croys Jhesu
Crst ct ne putt estre preise, ia cross of gold
which represents the cross of Jesus Christ, set
with pearls and cannot be valued" This descrip-
ton exactly answers to the cross found at
Clare for that had four large pearls, one at each
transverse section of the cross, while the cross
ITSELF with the figure of our Saviour upon it,
was most beautifully foliated, and the chain,
about two feet long, was of the richest descrip-
ton. How this precious royal jewel came to
be found in the ruins of Glare Castle is thus
accounted for: ,,,.-. ..t III I....,s,..>
1t was the common practice of our sover-
elSns IN former ages to bestow on their children
anu grandchildren, as wedding gifts, rare Jew
els ana relics; and as Edward Ills grand
ausnter Pmlippa was married to Edmund
Mor .in the Lord Of Clare, and upon her
came TO reside at the castle, she in all
occasion, and it was by her taken to the castle
where it got lost What confirms tbs bst9,,,'
almost beyond all doubt, is the fact that tb}Iss
particular jewel, before described in old Frencb
, disappeared from that very time from the mn,
meroiIs inventories which are extant Of tba
royal Jewels. Thus this once royal level.
which has been buried at Clare, lost for five
hundred years. has once more come into royal
possession. H'

made themselves obnoxious by their lndis-
