SIGNALS OF DIsTREss.-The Buffalo Com
mercidl says: ave regret TO learn that less
attention is now being paid to the signals of
distress by lake captains than in former times.

pcller Boscobel and the schooner w, A. CHS

when signals of distress were in plain sight, is
n disgrace TO our lake marine. To plead dan
ger as an excuse for not rendering aid to com
their chances Of escape, is pure and unadul-
tcrated cowardice, and nothing short; and a
captain that is guilty of it should be deprived
of his command" .l.'. -...I.. ... uf.. D.

the following pregnant paragraph;
"Befors we go further, let us say that
if Good Faith was ever worth anything
to q nation, people, or persons on the

to the people of these United States.
The Government is a Government of

every possible precaution to preserve
good faith. It has put the most
stringent prohibitions on States and in
dividuals, and they have been strength
ened and maintained by the Supreme
Court in all emergencies After eighty
years of natioral existence, in which we
have maintained honor and integrity to
the last little before all the nations of

ME-. EDIToR.-Tho street cars are pubic
necessity. They are not less necessity upon
ihe first than upon ang other da5 of the xeek.
Whoever calls the people that ride in the cars
on Sunday, "revelers" or "sporters," is a ca
luminator. They are respectable people; they
behave themselves; they make no more uproar
orconfusion than pedestrians, whether chufeh
goers or not.
Wherein, sir, do the street cars make more
din or uproar than the scores upon scores of
carriages in our streets ON Sunday9 than the
eleganttwo horse turnouts with which wealthy
church-goers make their access and departure
to and from meeting? Who raises any cry
against these rich men, who thus convert the
day OF rest into one of "travel, noise and con-
fusion?" But when poor people, who cannot
afford the expense Of carriage, presume to
get upon wheels, they forthwith are Sabbath
breakers, and disturb frequenters Of the sane
tuary, with their s'noisy crowds" with the
"din of cars" an6 the clatter Of iron hoofs
Away with such pretences! Let US treat
the rich and the poor alike. If we stop the
street-car, stop the coach and the carriage as
well; stop the milk-carts, and the hacks. II
the simple fact of noise is unendurable on
Sunday, stop the church-bells, which make
more noise than all the cars in town.
Nobody is obliged 10 use the cars, and it
seems to be piece of intolerable selfishness
for those who do not want to use them to at
tempt to prevent those who do. x.

Most of the Republican county conventions
will be holden in the early part of August, at
which time the hayins season will be mostly
over, and the farmers can avail themselves of
the opportunity of meeting and comparing
notes with their friends, acquaintances and
fellow-laborers from the various towns and vii
lages in their county. These annual conven-
tions, with their pleasant reunions are exceed
ingly pleasant occasions, and are looked Tor
ward to by many as holidays not eqnaled by
any others in the calendar.
When we consider that the character of
campaign is not upfrequently determined by
the spirit and temper of the nominating con-
vention, and that the people at home get i'm
pressions, favorable or otherwise, from the
delegates who represent them, it will appear
to be a matter of Importance to select a full
delegation of good men and true who will act
with prudence and discretion, and give the
proper keynote to the campaign.
We do not for a moment doubt that the Re-
publcans in the various counties will put in
nomination honest, capable and upright men.
They are not much given to inviting defeat by
pursuing the opposite course. Neither do we
doubt that spirit of harmony will prevail

gether in unison for the promotion Of the geo.
eral good. The greatest danger TO be appre-
hended lies in the feeling of strength and se-
curity which Republicans are too apt to ia
dulge in, after a few years of victory Last
years strength is of no account unless exerted
now, and for present purposes last years vclo-
ry is but little better than last years humble
bees nest We hope the delegates to all the
county conventions will take counsel among
themselves with view to general awaken
ing in their respective neighborhoods.
The Democracy will not initiate any pro-
ceedings calculated to excite attention. They
will be well content with a still campaigu.-
They thrive best in the absence of argument
and discussion Such canvass affords them
the opportunity of indulging their fayorie
methods OF private missionary enterprise,
Misrepresentation and detraction. To be fore
warned is to be fore-armed, and we trus. that
Republicans throughout the State will gnard
against the dangers incident to quiet cam
paigns. Whatever else may be omitted. let
every vote be got to the polls, and arran e.
meuts to that end be seasouably made.

A New CrTY.-The city committees on the
New England Fair are at work erecting some
700 or 500 sheds, for the accommodation OF the
cattle to be exhibited at the Fair, on the lot
belonging to the Poor House Farm adjoining
the Forest City Trotting Park in Westbrook.
Over o thousand head Of splendid cattle it ia
knoUn will be present, and, from the commu-
nications received by Mr. Boardman, tile ap-
pearances indicate that the entries of stock
will perhaps double or treble that number.
There is not the least doubt that, with The
outside attractions existing at that time, there
will be at least forty thousand strangers in the
city. Two years ago we should haye wondered
where on earth we were going to lodge SO
many people, but with the number of hotels
erected since then, together with those previ-
ously existing, there need be no anxiety on
that score. We are glad to know that our
people are up and doing and there is. every
prospect that the New England Fair Of 1869
| will be a grand success.
