DEMOCRATIC ECoSoMY.-We often hear
democratic politicians eXpatating on
what they would do if they were in pow
er TO make taxes less, and to cut down ex-
penses to the lowest possible figure. 1t is
well to test these fair promises by facts
within the knowledge OF all. we therefore
refer the reader to the city of New York.
This city is as completely under demo-
cratic rule, as ever South Carolina was.
Indeed, Republican city officers are as
scarce as are white black-birds, and what
are the facts in regard to economy, and
low taxes in this city? The expenses of
the city Government OF New York city
under Democratic rule, when they have it
all their way are greater than was the
National Government under the admins
tration of John Quincy Adams. New
York, a city Of million of inhabitants. il
governed at an expense as high as the ma
ton, when it had ten times that number.
Here is a good illustration of Democratic
economy, and one that no democrat can
gainsay. No people in this Union are so
heavily taxed for their local government
as is this model Democratic city.

TIE JUDD CAsE.-The disgusting reve-
lations of the Judd divorce case, now be-
ing tried in New Haven, Conn.,, afford the
New York World an opportunity to sheer
at New England. To this the New Haven
Journal makes telling reply, alleging
that not even witness in the case il "a

The Rev. Mr., Judd, LII. D., is of the
Democratic school of politics, and during
his short ministry here was seriously ac-

so full. ard which, without reputation
beyond its own county, styles itself an
university. He was an office-holder in
New York city, appointed by President
Buchanan, and we presume that he was
an honest one, for he testified that he mad
nothing out Of his office except his salary
of $500 year. He added somewhat to
his income by preparing speeches for a
Democrat; Congressman, from New
York city, and by translating the scriptures
for . New York religious society. His

Whether we like this result or dislike it. 1t
is all the same; we must accept the fact as
i. is developed. and make the best oft. 1t
is Of no uSo to charge this member of the
Senate with acting from mere prejudice, or
that one. with being governed by selfish
considerations, or the otlfer with some 9TH
CIR equally not over complimentary motive

That it involves new issues, more and
harder political lab or, making the future
uncertain. ami less understood beforehand,
is as clear as the sunlight That ninety
and nine of every hundred of the men who
carried the country safe through the war,
honestly believed Mr.. Johnson should be
removed from Office. and that the safety OF
the country demanded it. is as true as it is
that they believed JEFF Davis was traitor
and should have been tried for treason two
years ago. This is an accepted fact, and
has been demonstrated as such in every
conceivable way that such facts are made
known. Neither can any amount of argu-
ment or plausible talk, make the masses
OF the people believe for moment. that
the law and the testimony does not clearly
prove that Mr.. johnson is guilty. No
doubt the President would admit almost as

ton comes home to us, why then do we

General Thom's Report on
I'm ion River.

Wepublish on first page the Report Of
General Thorn on the obstl uctions in I'M
ion river, and his estimate of the sum
nece ssary to make the river navigable
The Importance Of the subject to our citl-
zens cannot well be exaggerated, for we
must either ccase$o make the attempt to
navigate the river above the lower wharves,
altogether, or else take measures to have
the iiapediments removed. Our river as it
is now, is one of the most difficult OF navi-
CATION in Maine. In addition to the natur-
al distractions which are alluded to by
General Thorn. we have the occumula-
tons of years, of the aw-dust, slabs,
Stockings and other waste matter of al
the mills on the river, lying on the bed of
the river. just where it most obstructs free
navigation. BY a law OF the State all
such waste is now forbidden to be cast in
to the river, but this does not remedy the
evil of the past, it only provides for the
future.
We hope all our business men will unite
in stating to our Representative the i'm
portance of an appropriation to carry out
the recommendations of Genl Thorn. As
an evidence Of the amount of our coast
ing trade, we remark that since the ice
left the river and Bay, the 18th of April :,
up to the 9th of May. between 80 and 60
coastin. vessels have loaded at Ellsworth
and passed down Union river. If any one
desires to know the Importance OF this APP
propriation,-its real necessity, let him
notice how often our vessels are "pile up"
on these obstfuctioas at a low run Of tides

Feverish Excitement.

evil the President be acquitted or
found gi,ilty?' is the first question asked
ON the streets, for the past few days, as
one meets with political friends, or Of foes
either. We are writing Monday, and
about question that will have been de-
cided before we go to press, but we will
not. therefore refrain from remarking, let
this question be decided as it may, that
there need not be SO much feeling on the
subject, for the country and its institutions
will stand equally as long let the vote be
for or against impeachment. The Presi-
dent cannot well, with Congress i'll session,
do much more damage, and the finances
of the country will not be effected to any
appreciable extent BY the vote. Why
then. so much anxiety and intense feeling?
Because the minds of the people have been
dwelling on thesubject until they have be-
come deeply interested. and because the
from Washington, have added to this feel
ing very much. In and of itself the i'm
peaching Of the President is not of much
account, fer every man, woman and child
understands that he has assumed to do,
and refrained from doing such things as
would ordinarily cost any man his posi-
ton. and has continued in this line of &C
lion for two years. 1t is really, bat little
worse to-day, than it was year and hall
ago, but the fear is, only, that if the SEN
ate fail to meet the issue squarely, and to
vote as a good conscience and plain duty
dictates, then farewell to all impeachments
hereafter. We believe he will be impeach'
ed, aud that Ben Wade will be acting
President before two weeks.

AN ATfocIous VILLANY ATTEMPTED
The IIallowcll Gazette says that an attempt
was made on the night of April 10Th, to
burn or destroy the house occupied by Mr..
N. NJ. Stone oft the specia police, and with
the object apparently Of destroying the
lives Of the inmates. The means used
were continuance Which is described
thus-'.On fiat piece OF punk, then a lay
er tf cotton. lot OF blasting powder
These were bound to the peice of rock by
strands of tarretl rope, the punk was set
on fire and the whole was thrown into the
kitchen of Mr.. stones art of the house.
The mass in passing through the window,
completely smashed the lower sash. l.
was about IL O'Clock in the evening, after
the inmates of the house had retired. Mr.
Stone was aroused from sleep by the noise
caused by the torpedo crashing through
the window. He Immediately went into
the kitchen, where he perceived the smell
of burning cotton, and quickly discovered
on the floor the object which had ronsed
him. Not being aware of the presence OF
powder in the slightly burning mass. he
threw the package out of the window.
at the moment that an attempt
had been made to merely burn the house.
The fire in the package finally went out
without igniting the powder. Had the
powder exploded in the presence of any
person, life must have been lost.
