New Portland lost horse last week, valued
at $780, While driving along the road in New
Portland, BY some mishap his horse fell, and
becoming antangled in the harness his head
was forced into ditch by the SIDE or tue road

wonder is, that there is water enough in this
region to drown horse. ~

.r,ra 4 he RIOT IN THE FIRST WARD.-We pub
Hshed Wednesday morning, on the authority
OF the ofieer who presided at the election, an
account Of the disturbances at the polls in the
HArsl sss2 lsAsnsAay4 aessu,nt 10 ear-
roborated by many voters who were present,
and still further by the proceedings in the
municipal court, reported elsewhere this
morning, 1T will be seen that one of the riot
ers IS held to answer for an aggravated as
sault, with intent to intimidate voter. We
regret to see that the Argus is disposed to
apologize for the rioters on the contradictory
grounds, l. That they were provoked to it,
and 2 That there was no riot We are en-
teringupon an exciting canvass, and it should
be the aim of all good citizens to allay rather
than to encourage violent demonstrations
The Democratic party is not responsible for
the acts Of some of the more reckless of its
members, unless speakers and writers author
lied to represent the party take the RESPONSE
bility of encouraging and defending them. 1t
VIII oe great mistake if they do. This city
is not to be governed by mob law.

ID uf THIRTEEN honest Republicans in the first
4 ward were disappointed yesterday by the per-
I asstence' OF 1874 obstinate fellows who voted for
James knaBltQn, the regular nominee. If the
d1 third candidate had had 1872 votes more he
d would have been elected. AS it is, thef was no
q choice and another trial is to be had The
adg Democratic vote fell Off by 81; the straight
-u Republican by only 16; next time we shall
reach them. The Democrats started new
candidate, bat that is always bad manage
q inent; they caught few Republican, votes by
1t and lost more of their own. We understand
sa that there is considerable dissatisfaction
no among the Irish voters, who supported Mr.

was no prospect OF electing him, but find

THERE is but one city in this State that has
a Democratic government. Biddeford INDUCES
in that luxury and pays handsomely for it,
like the people of New York From the Saco
Courier we learn that the debt of Biddeford is
100000 more than that of saeo, that $50 900
more was collected as taxes in Biddeford last
year than at any time during the war, and
that the debt of that city has increased under
Democratic rule more than 100000. Unlike
Portland, Biddeford has not been called upon
to meet extraordinary emergencies requiring
unusual outlay. -

THE EAST TO THE WEST arl Benson, y
treating in the New York Times of the western
disposition to qualify our financial obligations,
and repudiate under the influence of specious
demagogaeism that both parties in that section
have apparently fallen victims to, says for the
East ttrr.
Finally, let me give one word of advice to
the Veteran Observer" aud all western men.
II they shall prove TO have the power, as they
obviously have the wish, TO confiscate our prop
erty, let them do it-for we shall not be able to
help ourselves. But for heavens sake let them
say nothing about honesty or honor, or public
faith. The more blatant oftheir orators and ed
it1rs now and then declare openly that the
West is to be the seat of political power, an l
will do just as it phases about finance and
everything else. Ialmostlke these expressions.
There is frank, cynical audacity abont them,
which, IT it does not exactly inspire respect
for admiration, commands feelings far removed
from contempt. As choice of evils decidedly
prefer Bill Sykes TO Pecksniffi at least, we know
beforehand what we have toexpect from the
former. F.f .-r

The Saco Courier states that Mr.. Chas. Hill
lost his pocket book last Saturday, containing
S205. He was in the afternoon train from Port
land, and when near Saco, took out his pock-
et-book to pay for paper. but recollecting he
had some loose change in his pocket, returned
his wallet as he supposed to one of
his pockets. On reaching his store,s Sin Saco, he
missed it, and telegraphed at once to notify
the conductor at No. Rerwick. 1t was not
found in the car however. Mr. Hill is very
confident, that instead of returning his pocket
book to his pocket, he inadvertently laid 1t ub-
on the seat. Il was probably picked up after
he left the car by Isome passenger possessing
more "lnek" than honesty.
