We learn from the Lewiston Journal that
the salary of the Rev. Mr.. Balkan the able
pastor of the Pine Street Church, in that city,
has been increased to $1,000, to date from the
beginning of the parish year, the first of last u
ly. This increase of salary, says the Journal
is a Just recognition of the ability and faith
fulness of Mr.. Balkan, and we trust will put
at rest all fears that this distinguished minis
ter of the Gospel has any intention of remov-
ing to another field of labor.
The Lewiston Journal says the shoe bust
ness in Auburn, which has been greatly pros
pered the past year, will be expanded about
twenty five per cent. the next year. Old firms
are greatly increasing their business, and eve

BRRvEr GovERNoRs.-It is quite remarka-
BILE to observe the difference there is in the
tastes of eminent meu. Jefferson desired that
he should be known everywhere, by an men,
as plain Thomas Jeffe rson, rejecting even our
modest aud universal "Mr." as an imperti-
nsnce. The members of the Senate of
the United States, not long since, vot-
ed To omit from the records of that body
the designation of "Hou." as applied to
the members of that body. But there are
this republican simplicity. Our own STATE,
for instance, is full of brevet Governors. Hon.
Mr.. Shaw in making over to Hon. Mr.. Smart
the Maine Democrat, says that the latter is ia
miliarly known as "Gov Smart" Mr. Pills
bury. of Augusta, is known as "Gov. Pills
bury" among his friends. So we have "GOv.
Howard" "Gov. Bradbury"-in short, large
number of gentlemen who are called Govern
or" for the meat and appropriate" reason that
they never have held that exalted Office If
the Democratic party keeps up its organiza-
ton in this State-a rather absurd hypothesis
we shall have constant accessions to the
number Of Brevet Governors. PillSbury, hay
ing gained his rank by virtue Of three as sound
thrashings as ever a man got, will now be laid
on the shelf. Who comes next, "Gov." Shaw,
"Gov." Emery or "Gov." Elliott?

what will BE- its ruiuous consequences upon

agents of the Department, are of opinion that

the way to numerous and extensive frauds. p Z
A REIGN OF TERROR In LoUIsIANA.-"Let
US have peace" is something more than mere
political rallying cry. The Democratic Ku
Klux at Opelousas, Louisiana, a few days ago,
becoming iucensed at Mr.. Bentley school
teacher and editor of the St. Landry Progress,
began an indiscrimnate slaughter of the Re-
publicans who came to his rescue. The New
Orleans Bulletin Democratic newspaper
says that one hundred negroes were killed and
fifty wounded, and that but four Democrats
were wounded, none killed. The maddened
mob, after riotiDg in the streets entered the
Office of the Progress and threw its type and
presses into the street. They then drove its
French editor, Mr.. Durand, into the woods
and lynched him. The foreman of the office
was ordered to quit he town, and to save his
life he went to New Orleans yesterday. He
says it is rebels design to drive away and kill
every ousspoken Republican in opelousas
district. lt-F l.-.5. .fa ...... 3D., D.
