BANGOR AND MAoH1As srrAMrns-rbe

BANGOR AND MACHIAs STEAMERS Di-
rectors of the Portland Bangor and Machias
Steamboat Company have decided to put the
City OF Richmond on the Bangor route, and
the Lewiston on the Machias route. This was
deemed necessary on account of the large
amount OF freight on the Machias route, which
called for larger boat. The arrapgementea can
not but be satisfactory to the people on both
routes. Certain we are, that when our Ma
chias friends see the Lewiston and examine
her fine accommodations they will be delight
ed with her.
The next trip of the Richmond to Bangor
will be made on Wednesday evening 18th inst.
and thereafter she will make three trips per
week, leaving on Monday, Wednesday and Fri
day evenings. The Lewiston will make her
first trip to Machas on Friday, 10Th inst and
will make two trips each week thereafter, leay-
ing here on Tuesday and Friday evenings. o.
WE have received the first number of "The
Enterprise edited and published in this city
by Thomas Loring, druggist, the sole surviv-
ing descendant and heir of the venerable DR..
Hendricks, whose world-renowned bitters are
as Mcawber would say, Boon to the human
race. In politics The Enterprise is Repub-
lican, and holds the ultra Radical opinion that
the 4th of March was selected for Inauguration
day because it cannot possibly come on Sun
day for three centuries. We frankly admit
that we are not prepared for such revolution
airy doctrines as this which threatens that
ancientlnsdtutlou, the almanac ITSELF In the
local department The Enterprise comes out
uncommonly strong and starts with very en-
couraging advertising patronage. The edito-
rails on Dr. Hendricks Bitters though short
are numerous and well written.

A CALIFORNIA CANDIDATE.-We notice
that the leading democratic papers of Cali>
fornia are strongly urging Gov. Haight as
a candidate for the democratic nomination
for President. 1t certainly would be grat>
flying compliment if the nomination was
given to the Pacific coast.
, 1868-06-26

JUDGE CHAsE.-There seems 10 be con-
certed movement on foot having for its OBJ
ject the nomination of Judge Chase by the
New York Convention. The published dec>
larations of the Chief Justice render it
quite certain that he is anxious to secure
the democratic nomination, but we cannot
for moment believe that the movement is
favored by any considerable portion of the
party. The bondholders, we doubt not,
would gladly see Chase nominated. They
own Grant, body, soul and breeches. and
now if they can get the author of the "green-
back" system at the head of the democratic
ticket, their interests will be safe it matters
not which ticket is elected. We, however
cannot for a moment believe that the chosen
representatives. of the party of constitutional
liberty will thus betray their trusts. The
nomination of Chase would practically be
the disbaudment of the grand old demo.
cratic party, and leave the contest between
the two parties that now divide the nation
nothing more than struggle for the spoils
of office. The men who meet in council at
New York will be controlled by higher aims,
and actuaied BY principle they will place in
nomination representative man. not SUM-
shine patriot ShOddy men, of which Chase
is the type, have ruled the country for the
past eight years. In future the people will
demand that a wise statesman be placed Al
the helm, and yielding to this. demand wc
venture the prediction that Geo. H. Pendle,
ton will be made the standsrd-heare Of tn,
Triumphant democracy.

UEFoRTUNATE.-It certainly is unfortu-
nate that our friend, Sam. Howe, was born
aud reared at the South. To reach the Del
egateship, Sam. is willing to swallow negro
equality, or any other test Stevens and Sum-
nsr may chose to adopt, but notwithstan nding
all this subservieucy the radicals say that he
wont do After their experience with John.
son, they declare that they never will support
another Southern man. Poor Sam, we feel
for you; but under all the circumstances,
think that the best thing you can do is to

JUDICIAL CHANGE-The removal of G.
Ben. Darwin from the bench of the Third
Judicial District and the appointment of B.
F. Dennison to the place thus made vacant
is not only judicial but highly judicious
change. Darwin having outraged all the
decencies of life his presence on the bench
was not to be tolerated, and certainly all
good citizens will rejoice that he is banished
from the place he had disgraced Thankful
for this change, we have to suggest that the
Department place US under additional obi,
cation by consiguing Judge Hewitt to the
retirement of private life. Destitute of all
knowledge of the law, and of feeble intellect
be might make respectable tide-waiter ol
herder at a military post, but when it comes
to a seat on the bench of the Supreme Court
the imposition is too great As justice oi
the peace be would be little better than q
laughing stock, and certainly we know of nc
reason why the people of the Territory
should be punished by having him imposed
upon them as their highest judicial officer.
