A Ward Caucus is not SO imposing a body as
the National House of Representatives,, or per-
haps even the House OF Lords, but it neverthe-
less has important duties to perform. This
year it is of especial Importance that there
should be full attendance of Republican vot-
ers at all preliminary meetings, in order that
the delegates to the convention may be men
who will give us the right sort Of candidates
for the Legislature. We have strong State
ticket and an excellent County ticket, and with
acceptable nominations for Representatives
there is no reason why Portland may not give
Republican majority so large that our oppo-
nents will never undertake to contest another
election under the old name. Thus far the
campaign has progressed as sluggishly as if
Andrew johnson were dead and Lincoln back
in the White House Only a few days remain,
but there is yet time to put soul into the cam
vass. Let the first indication of tho revival be
rousing attendance at the Ward Caucuses to-
night. S1 "i .d1nout-9s Iowa nidIlW Cd lif7

CLIFTON HARRIS AT THoMAsToN. A cor
respondent of the Lewiston journal writes a
long letter about this Auburn murderer. ! 1t
seems this unfortunate man has again chang
ed ground. He now says in the most solemn
manner and with a broken spirit, that he told
the truth and the whole truth at the trial of
Verriil, and that the story he has told since is
untrue He says great pressure was brought to
bear upon him and he was told that he might
be pardoned if he would contradict what he
had stated at the trial.. He further says, that
certain parties mot his attorneys nor any of
the of6cers) used many inducements to get
him to recant, and told him the people would
have some charity for him, &c. He calls
names, but the correspondent conceals them
for the present He says Verrill was there at
the murder, and did essentially what he said
he did, and he shall say SO when he is hung.

ATTEMPT AT SwNDLNG-An attempt was
made last week by young man calling his
name r. e. Macomber, by means of forged
letter of introduction, purporting to come from
Messrs. j. w. & HI. a. McDufie, jewellers in
this city, b obtain three fine gold watches and
chains from Messrs. John E. Hyde & Son, New
York. A forged order for the articles was pre-
sented the firm of Hyde s. Son, requesting
them to deliver the watches to Macomber, but
they declined to do this. The fellow then sug-
gested that they be sent to Messrs. McDufie
by express with orders to collect on delivery
This was done, and few days since the Port
land firm received the package, which they had
not ordered, and which was valued at $14OO.
A correspondence with the New York firm
brought the facts 10 light, and showed that Mr.
Macomber did not make SO much by the tran
sactiOn as he anticipated. i1i5Aa ..- s,s

Last week the President sent a request di-

appoint man named Flyn. This request was
considered in military circles as an order and
