AN undevout astronomer is mad" by the fol-
lowing extraordinary statement:
Lalande, the French astronomer, carries a
gold box filled with spiders, and on being in.
troduced to any one, takes pains to inform his
new acquaintance that he neither believes in
God nor fears spiders, and in proof of the last
remark, swallows one OF the insects then and
there.
As Lalande died in 1907, this account of his
habits and opinions is clearly open ID suspi-
cion. The maddest and least devout astrono-
mer we ever heard of was John Phoenix when
after spending the greater part of the forenoon
in an Intellectual effort to determine the time
of day by observations of the sun, he was re-
duced to the ignominious necessity of send
ing small boy to consult Dutch clock in a
neighboring grocery.

Political N0fes

Brick Pomeroy is about to start political
paper in New York
Thaddeus S tevens denies that he has fullv
made up his mind to present new articles of
impeachment for the consideration of the
House.
The political tone of Washington college,
Va, OF which Gen. Lee is President, is not
particularly loyal. At the recent alumni
supper the toasts were chiefly commendatorv
of the heroes of the rebellion and of State SOW
ereignty.
II is probable that the Congressional Globe
will not be published after the 4th of March
next. The Senate has passed bill that looks
to printing the proceedings of Congress in the
government printing office.
The Argus says the Press has been "compli-
menting" the La Crosse Democrat for the last
six months. We have called it an obscene
Sheet and did not consider the description
complimentary. Tastes differ.
The New York correspondent of the Boston
journal declares that while the Democrats of
the former city are divided into cliaues and
factions, the Republicans are working more
tremendously than they have before for mapy
years.
Gen. Grant received a dispatch Thursday
night from Gen. Mcdowell commanding the
Fourth Military District, stating that Missis-
sippi had undoubtedly ratified the Copstitu-
ton and elected Republican State ticket.
Gen. Mcdowell, since he assumed Command
there, has proved himself an earnest supporter
OF the reconstruction measures of Congress.
The Irish Republic boldly asserts that Sena-
tor Sumner and the other members of the
committee on Foreign Affairs have been brib-
cd to sheive Mr.. Banks's retaliation bill, and
gives as a reason for entertaining this opinion
the general bad reputation of the Senate re-
curing such an investigation as Mr.. Butler
has just concluded. The Republic is as
staunch supporter of the Chicago platform
as the Tribune itself, and has as good a right
to defame Republican Senators without a
scintilla OF proof for its charges as any other
paper-and no better.

TO the Repnb,,cans of Other states

To the Republicans of Other states.
Maine, with only seven votes in the electoral
college, attracts more attention TO its political
situation than larger and more important
| States on account of the time at which its
election for local officers is held. The strength
of parties is tested here in advance of any 9TH
err State where the two political parties are
balanced evenly enough to occasion a serious
contest.
In view Of these facts it may afford some sat
isfaction aud encouragement to our Republic
can friends in other States to know what are
the probabilities, in relation to the September
election in Maine, and we are extremely hap
py to announce that so far as any event that
has not already occurred may be announced
with confidence, there is every ground for be-
lieving that the present year will see the Re-
publican majority of last year increased flu ly
up to the figure of 1866.
The Republicans of Maine are united. No
quarrel on matters of local policy will divide
the party strength, but all will unite in labor
ing for the triumph of the State and National
Republican tickets. Secondly, the Democrats
are not united. The preliminary meetings for
the selection of candidates to the State con-
vention disclosed the fact that there is dis
tinct and palpable break in the Democratic
column. On one side are the friends of Pen
dleton and reputation; on the other the ad-
vocates of the honest payment of the national
debt and of some candidate who is committed
to that policy. We refer to the bitter strug
giles in the caucuses at Bath and Bangor for
evidence on this point. Third, the Pendle-
tonians SO far triumphed in the State couven-
ton as tofcommit their party to the rankest
Copperheadism. The opposition party as rep
resented by its authorized declaration of prin-
ciples is not Democratic or Conservative
but Copperhead party. The old leaders who
opposed the war, attacked the Union party in
the rear, resisted the draft, and gave the Reb-
els such assistance as they could, have gained
the complete control of the organization. The
effect of all this is most suspicious for the Re
publicans. A large minority of the Democrats
will give their party candidates, standing on
Pendletonian platform, but cold and apathet-
ic support. As an evidence of this we cite the
case of the Eastern Argus in which we have
not up to the time of this writing seen a single
word of editorial commentator of the Angus
I'd plaJiorm tnoue,n the convention was neld
on the 23d inst. The Republicans, on the 9th
er hand, fighting the same men and the same
principles they fought through the war, will
be reused to the most vigorous exertions and
will sweep the State for Grant, Colfax and
Chamberlain by an almost unprecedented ma
jority.
Have no anxiety about Maine. The Demo-
crafts have carriad the Stata TOR the Renubli-
cans at the very outset.

THE UNION SOLDIERS AND SAILORS Mass
CoNvENTIoN.-It win be seen by call pub
lished in to-days Press that the Union Soldiers
and Sailors of Maine will assemble in Mass
Convention in this city ON the 9Th of July.
This is an admirable movement and cannot
fail to correct the bad impression in regard to
Maine soldiers left by the burlesque affair at
Augusta on the 23d inst Outside the State
many persons not conversant with the true
condition OF affairs, might suppose that the
Conservative Soldiers who met at Augusta
represented the great mass of the Maine men
who fought in the Army and Navy. We have
no disposition to depreciate the character of
those gentlemen, but it must out of regard to
truth be said that neither in the value and
brillancy of their services, nor in the number
of their associates that they represented are
they entitled to much consideration. The let
ter of our Augusta correspondent published
Thursday showed the purely factitious charac-
ter of the whole affair. Other circumstances
have since come to our knowledge which con-
hrm his statements For instance, Major
Daggett who figures in the proceedings as
Vice-President from Androscoggin County, is
his regiment in Georgia. Not being ubiqui-
tous he could hardly have been in Augusta
and his name was probably used without his
knowledge or consent. Another little circum.
stance shows how the crowd was made up
One of the delegates was asked by a friend
how he came to be in such crowd. 80, I'm
all right" he responded, 81 shall vote tor Grant
aud Colfax, but wanted to come to Augusta,
and having free ticket offered to me, 1 az
cepted it and came"
The Convention on the 9Th of July will be a
spontaneous movement of the Soldiers and
Sailors of the State, and will support principles
in accordance with the past acts and present
political opinions of nine-tenths of all the citi-
zens of Maine who served in the Union Army.
The appliances that were used to collect
crowd at Augusta will not be used, but there
is the best possible reason for supposing that a
crowd will be forthcoming nevertheless. The
soldiers of Maine do not fight on one side and
vote on the other.

The Second District Republican Con-

LEWISTON, June 26, 1868.

LEWISTON, June 26, 1868.
To the Editor of the Press:
The long agony is over. At a quarter past
six yesterday afternoon the Union Republi-
can Convention for this Congressional Dis
trict completed its labors. Though very few
had really made up their minds as to what the
result would be, even at the time the ballot
ings tor the candidate for Congress began, yet
it may be said that it was generally anticipat-
ed the result would be differentiated some
one else beside Mr.. Morrill, would De nominat-
ed. But then, you know, what is to be is
always "mighty onsartin."
Foot by foot the whole ground was contested
by the different candidates. Mr.. Morrill, had
competition in his own town in the person of
Hon. E. P. Weston. AS understand it, they
agreed to abide by the decision of their town
and not contest the whole county. Mr.. Wes-
ton lost Pennington and so retired from the
field. Franklin then united upon Mr.. Morrill,,
Sagadahoc united upon Washington Gilbert,
while Androscoggin divided upon William P.
Frye and Nelson Dingley jr., and gave few
votes to both Mr.. Gilbert and Sidney Perham.
Oxford was a common battle-ground for all tho
candidates, Mr.. P erham securing hardly more
than halt the delegates, so earnestly had the
outsiders, especially Frye and Dingley, push
ed the campaign in that county.
On Tuesday delegates and outsiders began
to show themselves in Auburn; on Wednes-
day they came in large numbers and the Elm
House was overflow ing. All day Thursday
Auburn Hall was literally packed full with
an eager multitude. But, in spite of the
severe and protracted contest which was now
about to terminate nobody knew how until
the last moment, the utmost good humor was
manifest throughout all the proceedings of the
convention, and not an unpleasant word was
spoken by anyone.
The whole number of delegates was 279; but
through misapprehensien or inadvertance a
larger number of votes was cast at several of
the ballotings. After the fourth ballot Mr.. A.
G. Dennison withdrew the name of Mr. Ding
ley; after the sixth ballot Mr.. Perham came
upon the platform and, thanking the Republi-
cans of the District for the many favors which
they had shown him N the past, withdrew
from the convention. Mr.. Perham was re-
ceived with hearty cheers.
For the delectation of the curious who find
pleasure in such things, will give the re-
suit of the eight different ballotings.
