BASE BALL ON THE FoURTH.-We are glad
to announce that the lovers of base ball are to
have chance to witness fine game here Oh
the 4th. The Eons having been disappointed
in their match with the Lowells, were inform
ed that at the South Berwick Academy they
had club which plays spicy game, and
would be pleased to come to Portland on the
4th. They accordingly sent an invitation to
them which has been accepted. AS there is
not much going on in this city, this game will
probably attract large crowd. and ,~o hope
the Eons will show a strong nine and some
fine playing. We shall announce tomorrow
what time the game will commence.

THE MEETING NEXT sALEs.DAY.

1t is a matter of great satisfaction to observe
the unsnimity with which all proper thinking men,
in this District, are moving forward in the matter
of securing the nomination of competent and trust
worthy persons to fill the Offices created by the new
Constitution Wehope they will evince still great,
er vigor in the work of securing their election.
Every section of the District that we have
heard from, is preparing to respond to the call fol
a general mass meeting on sales-day, by holding
neighborhood meetings and appointing delegates
to attend here.
There need, and, we are assured, willnot be any,
thing of partisan character in this meeting on
Monday. All who entertain views in favor of a
Just and conservative administration of the Gov
ernment, the framing of equal laws, and the placing
in Office of the best men, unfettered by secret
societies. or ultra political organizations are, under
the call, invited to participate.
Let the good people of York rally to the rescue.
We must not permit ourselves to indulge any lon
ger, that idle lethargy and supreme indifference
that has followed the decentralization consequent
upon our overthrow; three years since. 1t is time
we were awaking from this unmanly stupor. 1t is
unworthy of ourselves, and of our past history.
Let the virtue and intelligence Of the country come
to the rescue, for without such, all efforts to secure
peace and harmony just laws, safety life, liberty
and property, will prove unavailing. Many Of us
have our lots cast here, and our connection with
the State is inseparabe. For the protection Of al
that is dear to us, and in the name Of justice and
humanity, let all help who can, to secure our pub
Lie safety and private rights.

REGISTRATION AND THE ELECTIONS. In cir

Boards of Registration are to make their returns.
Post Commanders are required to report progress

THE STEAM PLow IN CALFoRN1A.-Recente ex-
periments in California, with steam plough or
cultivator, have been quite successful. We quote
from the Aha Californian some details:
The machine is not steam plough; it is rather
steam gardener, for it dresses the soil as if it
were spaded and finely raked. Observe the stern
propeller of ship, how it cuts the water and scat
ters it in fine spray circle after circle, as it moves
swiftly forward. Now, conceive four Of these a;
breast attached to the rear ola locomotive, and
revolving in and cutting the ground into spray, and
you have the idea exactly. The machine dresses
twelve feet wide, going over one hundred feet a
minute, and it seems to be competent to dress
thirty acres day, perhaps more. The trials in
Martinez were in wet adobe that had never been
cultivated. The locomotive engine and carriage
were extemporized for the occasion, and therefore
but partially adapted to the purpose. Themachine
gardener was attached to the rear. 1t worked so
well that it established beyond question the fact
that this new movement is exactly adapted to the
purpose intended in that kind of soil, and it seems
as if it should do as well in all soils as free from
stones Of any great size.

they do 50, the better for themselves. They must

Z. z. K.---MYsTERI0Us.

Our advertising columns contain mysterious
notice, which reached US through the mails, a day
or two since, and which, contrary to the usual GUS
tom with anonymous advertisements, we insert in
our present issue. The mystical characters-"K.
K. Xviii perhaps be understood by those to
whom the notice is addressed but being among the
uninitiated, we are at loss to know what they
mean, unless it be message from that singularly
secret and doubly mysterious and hideous organi-
zation known as the "Ku- -Kux-K Klan," which is
50 rapidly spreading over the country.
The "Ku- -Klux-K -Klan' is fantastical name as
sumed by the Conservatives in Tennessee, and the
secrecy and caution under which it carries on its
work, beats the Union Leagues all hollow. 1t has
inspired no small degree of terror among certain
classes in the West, and has become of sufficient
Importance to induce General Thomas, command
ing the Tennessee Department, to send to WasH
ington for more troops to suppress it. zsg
We believe no good can result from such organ
izations and regret to hear of the K. K. Ksin
our midst.
