Lecture by Dr.. TFue-RepublicGn Nomination

LEWISTON, Feb. 81, 1868.
To the Editor of the Press
The first lecture before the Androscoggin
Natural History Society was delivered by DR..
True last evening. The rooms Of the Society
were filled with an intensely interested audi
ence. DR.. True discoursed of the origin of man
as indicated by geology. He maintained that
his origin did not go far back of historical
records, that he was the result of a special act
of creation and not of evolution. His posi-
tions the Doctor strongly fortified. under
stand that Mr.. Vose, of Paris, is soon to deliy-
er an address before the society. Perhaps DR..
True will, by and by, give full course OF lee
lures before the members and citizens. Thus
far, the Society has prospered beyond expec
tatlcn, and its future may be looked upon as
assured

YIN. c. A.-The Young Mems Christian
Association of this city is about organizing a
department through which charity can be dis
pensed to the poor. The management of the
department will devolve upon Board of Di-
rectors, not less than eighteen in number, COM
prising one from each religious society repre-
sented in the Association, and to be chosen
annually, whose duty it shall be to secure the
services of General Agent. The city will be
divided into districts, and visitors, both male
and female, will be appointed for each district
who will canvass the territory assigned them
for the purpose of learning the condition Of
the poor and needy, if such there be, and also
to secure material aid and enlist the sympa-
thy and cooperation of the community. 1t is
proposed to hold public meeting in some
suitable place next Sabbath evening, to be ad
dressed by several clergymen and other prom.
inent citizens, at which a collection will be
taken in aid of this department.

Cen Lorenzo Thomas is known to the great
er number of our people solely as the Thomas
that is not the General Thomas. He is an
old GAdche of the War Department, nominally
holding the position of Adjutant General but
since 1862 he has been ION special duty" the
exact nature of which it is not easy to deter
mine. Stanton found him of no service in the
Department., and sent him away, while all
through the years of war his duties were dis
charged by Assistant Adjutant General Town
send. Thomas has arrived at an age when a
reasonable construction of the law would re-
quire him to be place. on the retired list, and
Ge! Grant made effort to have him dis
posed of in that way last year. But the Presi,
dent held that the act of Congress relating to
the matter was not mandatory but left it dis
cretionary with the President TO retire officers
that had passed certain age or not. Acting
in accordance with these views and with de-
termination to thwart Congress and annoy
Grant and Stanton, the President, just a week
ago, directed his restoration to the War De-
partment. Congress is now informed that Mr..
johnson has peremptorily ordered this old
military functionary to take Stanton's place
as Secretary of War. This does not indicate
that the President contemplates resort to
the Courts, if Stanton proves obstinate, but
to force. 1t is no wonder, then, that the i'm
peachers are once more on their feet.

posed respecting the loans of credit heretofore

as the CITY Council may determine to be nee
essary and expedient to provide for the extern
sion of such portion of the bonds as may not
be satisfied by the sinking fund. 1t also pro-
vides for sinking fund to pay the renewed
debt. The report was accepted.

A HARD CAsE.-Democrats complain that
the Republicans have begun a mode of cleo
pioneering by celebrating Grants victories
Already the anniversary of the great victory
at Fort Donelson has been duly observed. In
noticing the dependency into which these GEL
ebrations throw the opposition papers, the
New York Post says that it really cannot
blame them much, for SIT is rather hard on
them, and on their candidate when they get
one. The Grant men begin with Fort Donel-
son; but they will continue with Shiloh and
Vicksburgh; the Vicksburgh campaign will
furnish them with half dozen first-rate vic
tories to celebrate; Lookout Mountain will
come next-and where is this thing to end?-
Never mind-for every victory of Grant, the
Democrats can print speech of PendIeton-
or of Mr.. johnson, who, it is said, promises to
be the democratic candidate for President
Thus they will be even with these terrible
Grant men,"

Hardly more than week remains before our
municipal election. What work is to be done
must be done quickly. After tonight there wi
not be more than one or two more general m It
ings of the party to take counsel on matters
relating to local politics. 1t is particularly de-
srable that there should be full attendance
tonight of all who entertain the same views
upon the great cardinal doctrines of the Re-
publican party. The defiant and revolutiona-
ry conduct of the President as set forth in our
dispatches of this morning, is calculated to d.
vert attention from topics of secondary impor-
lance, and unite all true patriots in harmoni-
GUS action for the good of our common coun-
try. 1t is not fitting that those who are hos
tile to the well-being of the Republic, and who
are alike regardless of law and of Justice,
should receive even what encouragement a
municipal election, that might be construed
as an endorsement of their conduct, could
give.
The meeting this evening will be held in the
Reception Room, al the City Building, as here
tofore announced.

WHEN will people get over the idea that one
person is not just as good as another as long
as they conduct themselves as WELL and under
stand and act as though we were all created
to have an equal chance in this world. On
one of our streets up town short time since,
great hue and cry was raised because man
Of Irish descent had purchased house in the
neighborhood and was to occupy it with his
family. Reports were carried to him of harsh
things that were said, but he made no replies,
neither did he take any notice of those who
chose to lower themselves enough to use dis
paraging epithets about him. He moved into
the house and has lived there some time, and
we venture to say that more obliging, peace
able, honorable and pleasant neighbor cannot
be found in the whole city.

MORE RETRENCHMENT.-The Democrats in
the State Legislature, as well as out of it, talk
good deal abont economy and retrenchment,
but they act queerly. Mr. Balkan of Robin
ston wants his salary paid in gold at 40 per
cent. premium. Senator Farley of Lincoln
wants the State to pay tacice as much on ac-
count of municipal war debts as the very able
commission which reported on the matter
Thought safe and wise. Mr.. Bradbury of Hol-
lis wanted to pay Mr.. Elliot of Freedom Ia
brother of Robert) the salary of a member of
the Legislature for contesting seat to which
1t was shown he had no right! This precedent,
If established wouh make fine opening for
enterprising Democrats who have fancy for
spending winter at the State capital. Luck
lily the Legislature is Republican, and these
projects have all come to grief
The Portland daily press., 1868-02-22

THE Democrats of New Hampshire have
made mistake. 1t would have been hard
enough for them to carry the State under the
most favorable circumstances, but they have
made their opponents doubly sure by under
taking to force upon the people not the War
Democracy" which has so insinuating and
specous a sound, but the rankest kind of Cop
perheadsm. One generation must pass away
before the apostles of treason like franklin
Pierce, John H. George, Dean, voorhees, and
Vallandigham will be regarded with favor by
the people. Yet these men and their vel
known principles are the political capital uron
which the Democrats are hoping to carry the
Granite State. If they succeed it will be an
ominous event not only for New Hampshire
but for the country. As auxiliary means fol-
lnsuring success they have the Presidents co.
operation He turns out post-masters and
route agents at their dictation, and appoints in
their places men who support his policy. They
have also the Secretary of the Navy, who re-
jects the claims of soldiers for the precedence
in obtaining employment at the Kittery Navy
Yard, in order that the Democratic vote OF
Portsmouth may be sweled by the employees
with which the yard is to be packed. They
have also fund of many thousand dollars to
buy voters. In addition to all this they have
hoped to make party capital ont OF assaults up
on two distinguished Republican office-hoders
from that State,-Mr. Rollins, Commissioner
of the Internal Revenue and Mr.. Ordway,
Sergeant alarms of the National House of
Representatives. But as both of these officers
have, despite the most persistent Efforts of the
Democrats to break them down, cleared them
selves from any suspicion of dishonesty, their
schemes will surely fall to the ground
On the other hand the Republicans have
probably the ablest corps Of stump speakers
that ever took the field in any State. The par
ty of equal rights has everything to hope and
nothing to fear from thorough agitation and
the happiest results may be anticipated from
the present canvass.

Assnmp.ion of abe sIunieipal wrr Debts.

Senator Farley's amendment to the bill pro-
viding for liberal assumption of municipal
war debts by the State, has had longer hear
ing than so extravagant proposition deserv-
ed. The commission on the equalization Of
these deb s, it win be remembered, recon-
mended the payment to the towns of one
hundred dollars for every man furnished for
military service for three years. MIR. Farley
democrat, of Lincoln county, proposes TO
djltb,e the amount and theSenate have actually
been discussing this question for three days!
We copy the conclusive reasoning of Senator
Robe OF Cumberland on this subject, from tie
Kennebac Journal of yesterday:

Of The var indeb .cdness OF towns, as an alb
str1rt 1a@al right. No Legislature has the

T.. in,nose such debts or tax upon the valuation
| of The state From the fact, however, that the
| Tegis ature of 1864 did endorse the principle
| that tow u bounties might be assumed by the
| State, and we have reason TO believe. that
towns have acted under that impression, ii
perhaps becomes matter of equity that we
should, II some form, redeem our pledge j
consider the question of furnishing men to de-
fend our hag, by paying large bounties dan
gerous precedent. 1t is intended in a free
government that the population should furnish
| men, and then let valuation pay them bountl-
fully, even to the last cent. If valuation is to
! furnish men, the treasury of the country
would in time become exhausted and the OBJ

| We nearly fell into that fatal error before the
Surrender of Lee. While our population was

| cy was fast becoming worthless. The rebels
