Saturday, the 9th of June, found goodly
company at Custom House wharf to go on
board the steamer Gazelle for the islands, to
celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Portland
Light Infantry. The weather at the time pro-
posed for starting looked rather gloomy, and it
was little late before the whole party assem-
bled At about 10 o'clock the steamer left the
wharf, having ON board some one hundred per-
sons, among whom we noticed the venerable
Captain Nathaniel Shaw and Benz. Ils1ey the
former being in command of the company as
early as 1872, and the latter in 1924.
Arriving at Clapboard Island, the destined
place, the-first thing in the programme, after
partaking of lunch was the firing at the tar
get. There were two prizes offered for the best
three average shots, consisting of three and
five dollar gold pieces for the active MEM

former were made by Lieut.. Charles Scott, OF
6 "a inches, and Mr.. G.. G. Luscomb, of z Is
inches. The best single shot was made by Mai
II. B. Bennett, 1 12 inches.
For the honorary and the past members Mr.
Samuel league and Mr.. Cords L. Longley
carried away the prizes, the former with an
average of IL inches, and the latter with

DEMOCRACY rallies about Wooley. No prin-
ciple of political science, no measure of public
policy, NO great interest of the country has
ever called out so emphatic support as Wooley's
conduct in refusing to answer the committee
of the House, the Democracy usually confn-
ing its efforts to the easy task of criticism in
stead of supporting or originating anything.
If the excitement continues, we should not be
surprised if Wooley and his grefs constitute
the whole Democratic platform. For Wooley
represents things that are very dear to the
Democratic heart. He represents the whiskey
rings and frauds upon the revenue. Wooley
CANDLES; he bets on impeachment aud against
the prosecution; he raises money to buy Seny-
tors to vote for acquittal. Who touches Wooley
touches the most sacred traditions of the party.
When Butler orders him into custody, Democ
racy everywhere tears its hair and rends its
garments When he is ordered from confine-
ment in luxurious committee room to damp
and unpleasant apartment in the basement of
the capitol, Democracy is forthwith inspired
with poetic iancies and christens his new abid-
ing place "the American Bastile" Wooley is
first class card, but it will not last long
enough to do much good.

PENDLEToNIANIsM IN THE SENATE.-It is
instructive to observe how Systematically the
Democrats are opposed to all the measures by
which the country was preserved. Even Mr..
Sherman's bill providing that contracts here
after made payable in coin shall be legal and
valid-a measure for which the time is now
ripe-was saddled with retroactive amend
ment offered by Bayard and supported by
Hendricks, striking out the words thereafter
made" so as to affect suits now pending under
the legai-tender act. The only respectable
ground for offering this amendment is set
tied spleen against the legal-tender act itself,
and that is not very respectable. Pendleton
spoke and voted against the legal-tender act,
though he is now the champion of greenbacks
and will not improbably be the Presidential
candidate of Messrs. Bayard and Hendricks.
