Maine Democracy.
THURSDAY, JUNE %, 1868.

The Democratic Convention, of Maine,
which met at Augusta on tho 23d inst,
unanimously nominated Il. f. Pillsbury
for Governor. Hon. II. ID. Rice, 5. ID.
Anderson, f.. G. Madigan, and Daniel r.
Hastings were elected delegates at large
to the National Convention, by acclama-
ton. Messrs. John Ware and Phillip
Eastman were elected Presidential cleo
tors at large.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
that the present Congress has excluded
large number ofStatcs from the Union,
and deprived their citizens of all their
political and civil rights; that the time
had come for all to band against the
Jacobins that the right of the Govern
ment to tax the national income is clear,
and ought to be exercised by collecting
n tax upon the coupons; that the pro-
ceeds of such tax should be distributed
among all of the States cquitably; that
it is the duty of the Government to abide
by the terms of all its contracts, and il
shouldnot impose oppressive burdens up
on the people to pay bonds in gold, eX.
cept such as are by their terms made sc
payable; that the men who fought fol
the Union are entitled to the same cur
rency as the bond-holders.
Two of the delegates elected-Gen
Anderson and J. c. Madigan-arc fol
Pendleton while the other two--,JudgC
Rice and Daniel II. Hastings-are fol
Hancock or Chase. Gen. Anderson adj
dressed the convention and was particu-
larly severe on Gen. Grant whom he
stigmatized as having performed the
meanest act Il man could when he accep
ted the office of Secretary of War ad IN
term. He concluded, the account says
by stating that the liberties of the coun
try could only be trusted in the hands
of the Democratic party. The people OF
Maine won't take much stock in this
statement as Anderson will be thorough.
~ convinced when they have another
opportunity to vote.

A st. Louis paper prints the follow
ing curious story about Il strange visaged
creature seen near Vicllsburg last fail,
and recently seen near Meadville, Miss.
It's appearance is reported to have excl
ted much alarm among the people, and
the description given of the appearance
and acts of the whatever-it-is certainly
justifies that alarm:
"Some time in September last, as Il
party of huntsmen were driving in the
swamps some few miles from the river
trail was taken by the hounds and
followed up at a brisk pace, leaving the
party far behind. In following after the
dogs they discovered the track Of the
game in some miry places, which APP
peared similar to the track of Il human
foot; and they observed also that the
toes of one foot turned backward. On
coming up with the dogs, who were now
baying, they beheld frightful looking
creature, of about the average hight of
man, but of far greater muscular de-
velopment, standing menacingly a few
yards in front of The dogs. 1t had
long, coarse hair flowing from its head
and reaching near its knees its entire
body, also, seemed to be covered with
! hair of two or three inches length, which
was of dark brown color. From its
upper jaw projected two very large
tuskS several inches long. It's head and
face. as well as could be determined
from the distance of the observers, bore
striking resemblance to that of the
nero, except that the chin and checks
Were cover with long hair, On the
near approach of the hunters it fled with
great rapidity toward the Mississippi
I River, and was not oYertaken again UNI
! til within Il few yards of the bank.
/ When the party came up with the dogs
! the second time the monster was stand
ing erect before them, none of tn en-
/ having yet dared to clinch with 1t. But
when the dogs We're urged by their mas
ters they underworld to seize it, when
! ii reached forward and grabbed one OF
them, and taking it in its hands pressed
it against its tusks which pierced ii
/ through and killed il instantly.
Becoming alarmed at this display OF
strength, the hunters fired several shots
at the creature, which caused it to leap
into the river. Itremained under water
several minutes, and then rose almost
its entire length above the surface, ut
! tering shrielis which almost petrified
the pursuers with terror. No similar
sound had ever come to the ears of these
men, who were all familiar with the
howl of the wolf, tho whine Of the pam
Their and the hoarse believing of the al-
ligator. After sinking and rising seve-
raj times, it swan to the Louisiana shore
and disappeared.
Meadville, where it last appeared, is
about forty miles east of the Mississippi
river and nearly one hundred miles
from Nicksburgh; Throughout Frank
lin county there are retreats especially
adapted to the accommodation of wild
beasts, such as the high barren hills
ravines and dense Yine-matted SWAMP
of the Homochitto river"

OBiTUARY.-TheC Cincinnati gazette
says: Peter NJ. Garner one of the ear
lier anti-slavery men of Ohio, died at
Columbus day or two ago in his fifty
ninth year. He was born in Lancaster
county, Pa. December4 1904, and moved
to Ohio early i'm life. While living on
the southeastern border OF that State in
1915, he became obnoxious to the pro-
slavery residents of Virginia, and was
kidnapped, together with Crayton +.
Lorain and Mordccai Thomas, and
lodged in Parllersburg Jail. No one in
Virginia could be found to bail them,
though several gentlemen offered to in
demnify any persons who would become
their bondsmcn. They were according
ly kept in confinement for several
months, and finally released on theil
own recogniZancc.
Matthew Nassar, whose death was
briefly announced in yesterdays TRAN
SCRIPT was born in England, but when
about four years old was brought by his
father to the United States, where he
passed the remainder of his life. In
early manhood he commenced the brew
ry business at Poughllecpsic, in which
by steady industry he amassed a hand
some fortune. In 1861 he appropriated
the sum Of $40S 600 to found the well
known female institution bearing his
name, in addition to tract of one hun

sufficiently move the reticcnt warrior,
and that the Democratic nomination
was not the most olluring thing in his
minds eye. Then the organs all stop
ped, the action of their machinery was
changed, and Ulysses S. Grant began TO
be praised backward. He was accused
of smoking-of driving fast horses-of
drinking-of having been named Hi
ram--of being a butcher, and even of
spending his salary in accordance with
his own desires, and ofhaving an order
ly. Well these are serious things to say
of Gen. Grant of course, and in some
particulars they are true, and more than
true. The New York SIN vouchcs for
his smoking, as follows:
at cannot be denied that Grant ar
rested the eye of the nation by his pro-
clivity to smoke. He smoked at Bel
mont, at Donelson, and at Pittsburgh
Landing. He smoked furiously at
Vicksburg, at Chattanooga, at the VIII
derness, and at SpOttsylvnnia, and kept
it up all summer until he reached Pc
tersburg. He smoked around Peters
burg and Richmond for nine months,
and took a final smoke with Gen. Lee
under the famous AppomattoX apple
tree. The old adagc assures Us that a
good deal of smoke must necessarily be
accompanied by some fire; and it must
be admitted that on all these occasions
Grant did much smoking under fire"
In regard 10 the "butcher" business
the San puts in Il few good words, also,
full of truth and sense. 1t says:
Having wholly retired from the army
in 1854 and gone into the tanning bust
ness, he would doubtless have remained
content to the end Of his days in tho
slaughter of animals for the sake of THEN
rebellion that cost the lives OF a million
of men. Grant participated in the strife;
but it so happens that all his efforts were
directed to putting stop to the carnage
M the earliest possible day. While tho
conflict ragged, he dealt heavy blows
but the people do not doubt that his de-
cisive style of conducting the war was
far more economical of blood than the
dawdling mode fsome of his colleagues
Nor do they forget that his demand fol
an unconditional surrender at Fort Don
elsOn, stayed the slaughter which had
ragged around it for three days that
through his negotiations with Pember-
ton he received the key Of the Mississip-
pi Valley, thus avoiding the carnage
which Whould have attended an assault
on Vicksburg that in the celebrated let
ter to Lee which brought the Confeder.
ate chief to conference, Grant, though
he might have won good deal of vul
gar glory by hurting his elated battal
lions upon the reeling lines of Lee
urged him to come to parley and save
further effusion OF blood. And the
liberal terms he yielded to the Confeder
ate General and his army showed that
so far from being hardened butcher
who loved to riot in carnage, he was {
generous soldier, who was unwilling t.
wound even the feelings of hidfallen an
tagonists.

ANOTHER ARTERY CUT.

An item from the Omaha Herald in
another column, states that government
officers have concluded treaty with the
Sioux by which it is agreed TO entirely
vacate the Bozeman route and withdraw
the troops now at Forts Phil. Kearney
and Smith. This is the sequel to the
exploits of the Peace Commissioners as
indicated in their report recently pub
Eshed, and so far as Montana is con-
cerned. is the most treacherous. deadly
blow that has been struck by them at
her material interests. 1t is not alone
the withdrawal Of the military that is
a matter of little consequences but by
this treaty the government agrees to
vacate the route, and will, in accordance
with the treaty stipulations, by means
of the troops at Laramie and the
Post where the Bozeman route diverges
north from the South Pass route, pre-
vent immigration from passing by the
former route As this is the favorite,
best and shortest route to Montana, pos
sessing every natural advantage for
making it the principal highway be-
tween the Territory and the States, the
disastrous effects of placing a treaty bar
rier upon it cannot be over-estimated or
deprecated. Recent advices from Fort
Phil. Kearney confirm the reported dis
covery of rich quartz and placers near
that point, and the exploration and pros
pecting of the Wind River range the
coming season by parties from Sweetwa-
ter, Cheyenne and perhaps Montana, is
looked upon as a certainty. Companies
are already organized for that purpose,
who will not be deferred by this treaty,
and disastrous Indian war will be the
inevitable result. The proposed North
ern Branch of the U. p. r. r. TO Mon
tana will undoubtedly, if the project is
accomplished, pass to the eastward of
the Wind River range, striking the val
ley of the Yellowstone thence to the
populated portions of Montana, passing
over the very ground thus placed in pos
session of the Sioux, to enable the Com.
missioners to have another finger in the
government pie in getting IL back Our
entire Indian policy and management is
the greatest wholesale swindle ever con
trolled by ring to the detriment of the
government and the destruction of its
pioneers. This commission record is

AN INEXPENSIVE BATTERY.

l1 We doubt il among the quartz owners
of Montana there has been felt desire
for any one thing SO much as for some
economical method of testing, develop
ing and reducing their quartz. Arastras
are slow, and oftentimes insufficient for
the purpose Mills that cost many thou
sand dollars and require expensive mo-
tive power, are beyond the reach of a
majority of quartz owners, who gener-
ally are prospectively rich in the distant
future, but comparatively poor in the
immediate present. The desirability of
some einexpensive machinery of sufficient
crushing capacity to make it meet the
requirements of the prospecting miners,
has appealed to the inventive faculties
of q couple of practical men of Califor-
mia, who have almost simultaneously
and without collusion produced bate
ries on nearly or quite the same plan.
The Mining Press speaks of the inven-
ton as being " eminently promising in
It's effectiveness" The battery can be
driven by horse, steam or water power
