Orange Judd, editor of the Agriculturist,
publishes a card, claiming that the floral GUS
tom was originated by the United States San
itary Commission at Port Royal, Virginia. in
May, 1854, and not by the Rebels before aban-
doning that place for White House Landing.
A large number of sanitary agents with me-
groes made large collection of flowers from
neighboring estates and decorated the graves
in the Union Cemetery, containing the dead
from the battlefelds about. A fund was then
raised and given to an old negro to yearly pro-
vide for decorating graves.

of the letters he received Friday, 141 in num-

The CABINEr.-A New York Herald COR
respondent has been letting few beams of
his effulgence fall upon the Cabinet. With
an ingenious expression of surprise, natural to
dwelIer in the murky political atmosphere of
New York, he admits that all the members OF
the Cabinet are honest and will not steal a
cent while they remain in Office, though all ex-
cept Fish and Borie are poor. Cox is pre-
sented as the handsomest man in Washington
and Hoar as the wittiest man, which raises the
interesting question as to how many "hand-

STILL THEY CoME.-This time it is the Ma
chias Union that wants George Walker, Attor-
ney, of that town, to be the Democratic cand-
date for Governor. Now We protest in Mr..
Walkers behalf that this is too bad. Mr..
Walker is good lawyer, gentleman oi wealth
and pleasant surroundings, and has served his
term in the Legislature with credit to himself
and his constituents Why should shadow
be cast upon his declining years by offering
him up on the sacrifcial altar of the Demo-
cratic candidacy? But if Mr.. Walker can't
be nominated the Union says it will be content
with Mr. Charles P. Kimball of this city. This
is worse yet. What rival firm of Down East
carriage manufacturers has put it into the head
of the Union to endeavor to cut off Mr. Kim
ball in his prime.

The BILLIARD TouRNAMEST.-A meeting OF
the knights of the cue was held at the Fal.
mouth Hotel yesterday afternoon to arrange a
billiard tournament. There was quite q large
attendance of celebrated billiard players, both
professional and amateur, and it was decided
to hold the tournament in Portland on the first
Monday in August. A set of rules and regu-
lations were adopted, which we shall publish
in few days. 1t was decided to give three
prizes. The first to consist of gold cue and a
purse Of $3.50, to the winner, who will thus be-
come the champion OF Maine. The second
prize will be magnificent billiard table, man
ufactured by Helms, OF Boston, and worth
$400 What the third prize shall be is not yet
determined. The meeting was very enthusi-
astic one, and the determination was evinced
to carry the affair through at all hazards.

secre,nry noutwclrs Policy

The Argus thinks that any policy or legisla-
that strengthens the credit of the government
willineyitably enhance the gold value of bonds.
1t may be so, and in the almost universal
failure of financial schemes hitherto adopted
to accomplish their promised results, one
ought to speak with much misgylng and mod
esty. We are by no means certain OF such
result. The bonds are now by their terms and
by an express legislative declaration, payable,
nrincipal and interest, in gold. All doubt
about that is everywhere set at rest. Enough
has been done in all honor and fairness to sat
isfy the holders Of the bonded debt Of the
United States.
The class of creditors, who have not been so
we'll treated, and who have ajust right to COM
plain, are those who hold the obligations oi
the United States, for which they receive nc
interest, and for which they canrot get bon1s,
but at large premium, and which the govern
ment have not yet indicated even a remote
period for payment. When Congress adjourn
ed without making any provision for the pay
ment or funding of this overdue paper, and on
the heels of that the Secretary went to paying
the bonds, the effect wa sthat greenbacks de-
preciated and bonds appreciated.
What makes bonds worth 20 per cent pre-
MUM is that the interest on them is half year
ly paid in gold, and gold can be sold at a pre-
MUM of 40 per cent. The Secretary in the
market buying enc million q week in addition
to the demand at home and abroad for in
vestment, operates like any other extraordin-
airy demand to enhance the price.
On the other hand a-policy that would en-
hance greenbacks would lessen the rate of in
terest, and when greenbacks had become
worth par, the government securities, being
none of them higher than six per cent secur-
ities and being still burdened with small
premium, would not be SO desirable as private
loans, mortgages, railroad stocks and munich
pal securities. This course will operate to de-
preciate the premium ON bonds, lessen the
general rates of interest and make it easier
and safer to do business. There may by other
causes to counteract this and keep bonds at
THEN present value, but we doubt it. At any
rate it is safe TO say that bonds rising and gold
rising or remaining at its. present preminm is

The Argus volunteers advice as to the Re-
publican candidate for Governor, in frank,
brave, manly way that must commend it to
all good men. The courage displayed in
its remarks on this subject is what we partie-

A DEMOCRATIC paper, in reply to some sug-

color the hair Of the Democratic candidate for
Governor is, but he must not have red nose.
This is such bold defiance of the fundament-
al principles of the Democratic party, that we
are compelled to believe that the long deferred
disruption of that morally defunct organiza.

THE CIRCUS. Portland is an Eldorado for
circuses, and behring's pasture has probably
represented more money in the show line than
any other place of amusement in the CITY,
People seem to realize that summer has really
come with the advent of the first circus, and
they rush to the great tent with determina-
ton to put out half dollar in honor of the
event Stickney's circus is good show, but
not great one. The best features are the
riding Of La Petite Marie, dashing little sy lph
of seven years, Nine. Louise Tournaire, avery
graceful rider who displays fine horsemanship
in the management of her jet black steed, and
Mr. Robinson, the bare-backed rider. The
Delevanti Brothers are very fair acrobats, and
Mr. Williams displays his great muscular
strength in various feats Mr.. Stickney, the
clown keeps the audience in good humor de-
spite the tepidity of the atmosphere.

CANDIDArEs.-We are safe from anarchy at
any rate--thats one consolation. There are
brigade of candidates for Governor in both
parties whose names are brought forward by
their friends The other day the Argus gave
the names Of 50 many distinguished gentlemen
of the Democracy who are eminently quail
fed for the position, that it came near hav-
ing to abandon its purpose and give the names
of those who are not candidates. On our side
the numbers are less but still not by any
means contemplate. The York County Inde-
pendent, animated by praiseworthy desire
to keep up with the other counties in being
represented on the list, says that Judge Tapley's
name has been favorably received and that it
would not be surprised ifthe opposition to
Gov. Chamberlain were to drop the various
candidates heretofore presented and unite in
presenting the name of Judge Tapley.

The SCENERY ON THE ROUTE OF THE OG-
DENsBURG RAIiRoAD.-A communication
from Hiram, published elsewhere, discloses
the existence of rivalry among the towns
through which the Ogdensbarg road is expect
ed to pass which is natural and highly COM
mendable. 1t is entirely proper for all these
towns to present their claims, whether resting
upon advantages for railroad construction, the
business that they will afford the road or seen
cry that viii attract pleasure travel. If there
is even little exaggeration in the deprecia-
tion Of rival routes, as in "Scenery's" letter,
it can be urged in extennation that such ex-
aggeration is natural to unregenerate man.
As we have repeatedly said, no route has yet
been definitely decided upon, and no conclu-
sion will be reached until the engineers en-
ployed by the company and now diligently
at work, have furnished sufficient data for an
intelligent opinion as to the relative feasibility
of the different routes. All sections will re-
ceive a fair and impartial consideration.
