A MYsTERY.-We saw yesterday photo
graph of man that was picked up about the
Goth of May, seven miles S.SE of Bakers Is
land, and in the direct line of the Bost IN
steamers. The body was carried to Gloucester,
where this photograph was taken by Mr.. Rol-
Inns. Some notice has been made of the fact
by the Boston papers, bat as yet no clue has
been gained to his identity. He was we'll
dressed, fine-looking man, and showed no signs
of violence having been committed. But a
small sum of money was foun1 in his pocket
and his watch was gone, which looks q little
suspicious. He was kept two weeks in Glou-
cester, when, no one appearing to claim him,
he was inferred in the cemetery at that place.
A photograph of him may be seen at this of.
flee. 1t is correct likeness, and any one that
ever knew him would recognize it atunce. MIR.
B. L. Allen of Gloucester kindly interested
himself in the matter and brought the photo
graph to Portland, thinking that the unfortu-
nate man might possibly be known here.

The REVOLUTIONARY NoMINATIoNs.-It is
quite surprising and equally gratifying to OBJ
serve the unanimity with which the Demo
Gratis of this city scowl upon the nominal ions
made at New York. We do not suppose that
their dissatisfaction arises so much from any
deeply seated objection to the men as from an
instructive feeling that the ticket cannot be
elected. They know that the genuine soldiers
will not support man whose disloyalty al
most broke Abrahs SIN Lincoln's heart. The
number of so-called soldiers who will vote for
him will be very little in excess of the number
who had urgent business in Canada after they
had pocketed their bounty.
In Washington the same state of feeling ex-
lists as will be seen from the following dispatch
to the Boston Advertiser:
The nomination of Seymour and Blair gives
great satisfaction TO the Republicans, nearly
all of whom pronounce it the weakest ticket
that could have been put in the field. There
was scene of real enthusiasm on the Repub-
Lean side of the House when the result be-
came known, and the general testimony was
that this was the best days work for the Re-
publican party since the Chicago Convention.
The ticket is spoken of rs the reputation an
revolution ticket, and everybody is ringing
changes on Grants letter for peace and Bar's
letter for war; The Democratic congressman
are disguised, and do not even make pre-
tence of being pleased. The nomination fell
upon them like wet blanket, and
they at once began to gather in doleful
little groan for comfort and consolat on
Those from the West freely admit that tn. re
Is no show for success, snd some say it is not
worth while to go into the contest Some of
the Democrats will probably rally in the course
of time, but the first effect of the conventions
action is that of extreme disgust and despon-
dency. Everybody sees that the issues for the
coming campaign are sharply defined, and
that the Democracy of to-day is copperhead-
isms of the most obnoxious type. The key
note of the contest was struck by Governor
Morton Oh II ternoon in the Senate, in one of
the finest and most formidable fifteen minute
speeches ever heard in the capitol

EDITOR OF THE PRESS We wish to correct
the statement made by your reporter in
Thursday mornings issue, that the Portland
1rmy and Mary Union Escorted the Soldiers
and Sailors Delegation from the depot" II
was simply a voluntary escort of Union sol
dierS and sailors. The Portland Army
and Navy Union is not a political association
in any sense of the word. 1t is simply an as
ISOLATION for charitable, social and mental i'm
provement purposes, and is not bound by any
party ties 1t is on the same principle as Ma
sonic bodies, where politics in no form is al
lowed, but whose members have the right to
aid and vote indioidatally, as their consciences
dictate.

fas YARMOUTH, July 10th, 1868.
Editors Press: This evening at half past six
an eegan flag with the names of Seymour and
Blair inscribed thereon, was raised. to the tune
by the band-of the Star Spangled Banner,
and at the proper moment the match was APP
piled to big gun; but no report-only a flash
and little smoke Again the match was APP
piled, but still no report. They finally made
the fourth trial success, as some smoke and
a good deal of noise followed the application of
the match. There were assembled about two
hundred men, women and children, and most
of the former were Republicans. The sadden-
ed faces of the Democrats at the refusal of the
gun to honor the names of the New York NOM
inees were amusing to see. As [ write ped
lar is making a speech, but as yet he has been
unable to raise a cheer.

they asked the Androscoggins to postpone the

which goes on that day, but the Lewiston boys
did not see fit to grant this favor, and the Club
goes without Broughton, McAllister, Williams

matched with their full mines. The closing

ground, and we hope the Eons will then have

Reecher Refuse. TO Endorse Chase.

| Alas, poor Chase All his summer friends
desert him, even as Cardinal Wolsey's de
serted him. Where will he go? What will
he do? He is the man for Boutwell's "Hole
in the Sky" beyond doubt. The following
letter from Henry Ward Beecher appeared in
yesterdays Boston Advertiser:
| left Brooklyn on Monday, July 6. but not
before the World had published that had, on
Sunday morning, in political sermon, come
out for Chase for the Presidency and against
Grant; and have seen the story every day
since racing through the papers. There is not
u word of truth in it. The sermon was not
political, and it made no allusion either to
Grant or TO Chase. The application of some
of its paragraphs in either direction, was the
work of the reporter of the World, not mine.
L have never been Chase man. L have for
years, as q leader in public affairs deemed him
likehs greenbacks, as promising more on the
face than they are worth in gold. While the
New York Independent was lauding him as
demigod, and the New York Tribune was
using his name TO obscure the prospects of
Grant, / heartily and openly disagreed with
both of them, for L thoroughly liked Grant
and thoroughly distrusted Chase. He is a
splendid man to look upon but poor man to
lean upon. Ambition lifts some men towards
things noble and good; makes them large
and generous. Other mems ambition blurs the
sharp lines and distinctions between right and
wrong, and leaves them, in the eagerness of
over-selfish desires, to become prey OF bad
men. have for years felt that Mr.. Chase's
ambition was consuming the better elements
of his nature.
l have liked Grant from the first. Solid UMPIRE
tentious, stratforward, apt to succeed and not
spoiled by success, wise in discerning men,
skillul in using them, with the rare gift
(Which Washington possessed in an eminent
degree) OF wisdom in getting wisdom from
other mems councils-I confidently anticipate
that, great rs his military success has been,
he will hereafter be known even more favor
ably for the wisdom OF his civil administra
ton.
The seven fold humiations and recantations
through which Chase was required to go for a
Democratic nomination only to see the smil-
ing Seymour looking benignly down upon
his lost estate, has no parallel except in the
Immortal history of Reineke Fuchs. There
VIII now be no third candidate between Grant
and Seymotr. 1t will be fair fight between
rugged honesty aud plausible craft. 20
