The following letter from Senator Wilson to
James Redpath we find in the Boston Adver-
tiser:
In a communication to the Ant-Slavery
STANDARD Won saw that Senator Wilson works
for Grant who is no Radical, and objects to
other candidates who are Radicals, because
tbey sometimes drink" 1 am sure you do not
intend to oe unjust, but you certainly have
placed me IN false position. For thlrty-sev-
en- years have been a pledged temperance
man, and / have striven to be faithful to
cause my heart loves and my Judgment ap-
proves. While l have ever rogarueu ihtem-
perance to be terrible calamity TO humahlty
and sin against God nave a1 any iei1 3 rne
were bghted by it. L know of no Radical
whose name has been mentioned for the Pres
idency who gets drunk, or to whose nominal
tioa / have objected because he sometimes
drinks. / have seen Gen. Grant in the camp,
in his office, at his own house, and at dinner
parties where liquors were freely used by 9th
ers, but have never seen him drink even a
glass of wine nor have ever seen him when L
had the slightest reason to think ne was In any
degree under the influence of drink.
You say further that | work for Grant who
is NOT Radical L have done little work for
General Grant, for it was net necessary that
any one should work for him. The Republic
cans of nearly every State, with great unan-
unity, have pronounced for him, but this re-
suit was not achieved by work, but by the
needs of the country and the instincts of
patriotic and liberty-loving people. took oc-
casion more than two years ago to express, on
the floor of the Senate, my conviction that
patriotic and liberty-loving people, betrayed
by the President, would turn to that great sol
der and summon him to marshal them to vic
tory. Thirty-two years ago, L fully committed
myself TO the anti-slavery cause, and have
striven with voice and vote to advanceit to its
final and crowning triumph. TWAS because
was an anti-slavery man, radical Republic
can, because believed the cause of equal and
impartial liberty to be above the ambitions and
interests of public men, and because l believ-
ed General Grant would carry that cause to
assured victory that l turned to him as the
Presidential candidate of the Republican par
ty. L know him to be an honest, just, and
firm man, whose fidelity to his country and to
the equal rights of all his countrymen cannot
be questioned.
Gladly would 1 have welcomed the nomina-
ton OF some one of the veteran anti-slavery
men if such nomination could have assured
the success Of our cause in the great struggle
of this year. But the pioneer anti-slavery
men have ever been forced by the needs Of
their struggling cause to be self-sacriticing
and selfforgetful. That self-sacrificing spirit
and selfforgetfulness have achieved glorious
victories for humanity in the past, and trust
viii win in the future the election of a Presi-
dent under whose administration the unity of
the country will be assured, and the equal
RIGHTS and nriVIlaUeS of all its citizens Secured

AGRICULTURAL STATE FAIR.-The last State
Fair in Maine was held in this city in 1860.
In 1861 and subsequently plowshares were out
of order and swords were in the ascendant.
Many of the most active members of the State
Agricultural Society were in the war, and tho
annual meetings were dropped. An informal
meeting of the trustees was held here yester-
day, and we understand that it is proposed to
make arrangements for fair next fall if the
city offers any encouragement. The outlay
required would be very small, and we have no
doubt that the proposition will be met in the
right spirit There will be consultation on
this subject at the mayors Office at four o'clock
this afternoon, which all persons interested are
invited to attend

FIRE.-A little before one o'clock yesterday
noon, fire was discovered in the intermediate
School room on Spring street. A general
alarm was given and with the hallooing OF the
crowd of boys that were collected there at the
time, considerable excitement was created in
that part of the city. 1t caught by the stove,
and before the engine conld be got to work the
flames had done considerable damage to the
interior of the second story; but the firemen
succeeded in combining them to this part and
very little injury was done to any other por-
ton of the building. .-s.
1t was amusing to see the effect that it had
upon some of the boy scholars. They seemed
to be delighted at the prospect for vacation,
and we heard one boy who belonged to anoth-
er school say to a companion, SO! Jimmy
don't you wish it was our school house?"

The Pioneer says Chas. Woodwork, of Lin

morning, and during the day was found dead a
few rods from q tree which he had fallen, and
which, from appearances, had struck him on
the head. He was about thirty years of age
and leaves wife and four children.
The Pioneer states that ON Thursday last, in
the town of Smyrna, two men, named Dustin
and Hannegan got into dispute, when the
former drew pistol and fired at Hannegan
putting a bullet through the cd mans
nose. The affair was subsequently comprom-
ised by the payment of sixty dollars to the in

On Friday last, Mrs. L. b. johnson of Lit

Pioneer, the colt took fright, throwing both
ladies out the sleigh. Mrs. johnson having
hold of the reins, determined to hold on, which
she did, the colt dragging her through the
mud and dirt some twenty or thirty rods
when she succeeded in stopping him. A mar
row escape for both the ladies and team.

The editor of the Rockland Democrat re-
Gently visited the State Prison. He says, in
the paint shop we found Bartlett, of the Bow
doinham robbery trio, engaged In grinding
paint. He is very careful that visitors shall
not inspect his physognomy, turning his face
away as though ashamed to be seen. He is
said to have furnished the brains for the COM
pany of rascals to which he belonged. In an
other shop we saw Simms working at the
spokes of wheel; he furnished muscle, but
one would hardly think it to look at him. Ma
guire, the third, was the moneyed man of the
concern. He is now playing tailor in one cor
ner of the shoemaker's shop, and has his
premises ornamented with little pictures, and
Snowy things which either he or some partner
has taken the pains to paste upon the walls
He looks like haberdasher interspersed with
a small sprinkling of tailor. We were unable
to discover in these convicts the graces which
charmed the ladies on the Kennebec, and
came to the conclusion that fine clothes, bar
bers, unguents, and plenty of money have
much to do with personal appearance.
Work is commencing in the Thomaston ship
yards in earnest. The Democrat says Messrs.
Stetson, Gerry & Co. have ship of 1900 OF
400 tons on the stocks. They put up the frame
in the autumn, and resumed labor ON it fort
night since, expecting to have it ready TOR sea
in the early part of the season.

o a e-.sf1s.4s s"srs che Harrington Chran-

week, in our court record, we mentioned the
divorce OF a couple on petition of the wife, and
in the same paper, in the hymenial record
the marriage of the lady to a person of the
same name as her first husband. That is
nothing wonderful, we think. The counting
may have been all done while the first nup-
tuals were in force.
The Chronicle says the flow of sap this
spring, is remarkably abundant, and those Of

has receded from 81 30 per gallon to $1,00.

Quite a parade has been made by
some Of our Indiana exchanges over
the fact that there is a greater num-
Der of petitions for bankruptcy from
Vanderburgh County EVANSVILLE
than from any other in the State ex-
cept Marion County indianapolis.
The number reported from Indianap-
oils is Al, aud from Evansville 81.
IF we accepted these figures as cor
rect exhibit of the business condition
of our city, there would be nothing
unusual or disereditable in it-as
Evansville is the second city in the
State in population, and, we think,
the first in commercial Importance
and it would be natural that we
should have a larger number of
Bankrupts than in places of less
mercantile business. But this show
ing really does us injustice, without
the explanation which should accom-
pany it. $50
We called at the Office of the Reg
lister Of Bankruptcy yesterday, and
made out complete list of the per-
sons who have sought the benefit Of
the, Bankrupt Act. Of the thirty-one
petitions fled up to this date, eighteen
are by persons whose bankruptcy oe-
Cured elsewhere than at Evansville,

by the failure of houses in New York,
and not by any business mismanage-
ment of the merchants here; leaving
but eLeUen whose bankruptcy was oc-
casioned in this city. And of these
eleven only one firm was engaged In
the wholesale trade, and most of the
embarrassments are of long standing,
and not the result Of the present
financial stringency and commercial
depression, SO general throughout the
country. Since the commencement
of the war Evansville has doubled
her population, and in the large influx
there were included many business
men who have sought this place for
the purpose of Iregaining their lost
fortunes; and this class make up the
majority of those who have availed
themselves of the benefits of the
Bankrupt Act. We think we can say
with perfect truthfulness, that there
is hardly a city In the West whose
merchants are established upon
frmer financial basis than those of
Evansville, and who are enjoying a
greater measure of prosperity.
