After this trial of his fathfnlness, he was NOM

city well in his new capacity if elected. All
his pasts acts show this. Now to set him aside
to. make way for an amalgamation ticket,
would, it is apparent, be a great error, and
might be the means of throwing the manage

of Republicans in Ward will consider so
fatal a proposition for moment. 1t is strange
indeed, if true, that Mr.. Wright should permit
such use of his name as proposed. He has
been honored by his party in the Council, and

SURVEY OF MUNJoY.-The plan of the sur
vey OF MunJoy prepared by the government
engineers, who were appointed to assist the
Commission chosen by the City Council in
March last is on exhibition in one of the anti
rooms of the Council Chamber.
The survey presents three parks in place of
the so-called, Eastern Promenade, one ON the
point near Tukeys bridge, 800 by 700 feet in
size and triangular shaped; one at the foot of
Montreal sGeet 450 by $50 feet; the third over
looking Fish Point, and shoulder-of mutton
shaped, about 1900 feet in length by $50 and
200 feet either extremity. 1t is intended to
carry the railroad track away from its present
location to some $50 feet beyond Curtis ship.
yard, where it will run along the head of
tier OF four docks and wharves, each one 1900
feet in length. A new water front will be con-
structed, circular in form from Fish Point to
Tukeys Bridge, 300 feet south of the present
draw-bridge, the distance from the G.. T. Rail-
road track opposite the foot of Congress to the
circumference being 1900 feet. A marginaI
road 100 feet wide is to be laid out around the
hill, to be increased to 200 feet where it passes
the wharves and DOCKS to accommodate the
railroad track.
The streets in this place will be fifty feet
wide with the exception of the marginal road
Some of the grades will be heavy, six feet rise

Oar Candidate for Mayor.

Hon. Josiah III. Drummond, whom the Re-
publicans of Portland have wisely chosen for
their standard-bearer in the spring campaign,
is one of the most popular men in the State
a man who deserves his popularity, and not
one who by demagogue arts conciliates men
for the purpose Of using them for the further
ance of his own plans He is no stranger to
public positions Of honor aud responsibility,
having been elected to the State Legislature
from the town of Waterville shortly after at
tanning his majority; then chosen Speaker of
the same body the next winter, and afterwards
elected to the Senate. Upon leaving the Leg
stature, he was chosen Attorney. General Of
the State, an unusual promotion for SO young
man. Since retiring from the latter position
he has attended strictly to the extensive and
constantly increasing business of his profess
sion, ignoring politics, except that in times Of
public peril from the Vaccinations of the ene-
mics of our free institutions he has never fail
ed to find opportunity to raise his voice on the
patriotic side. This winter his fellow citizens,
with almost unprecedented unanimity, requir-
ed his services once more at the State capital,
and it is well known that his consent for the
use of his name was obtained with great diff
Guilty. At Augusta his party associates select
ed him by unanimous vote to preside over
the House.
These repeated and hearty expressions of
public confidence, coming unsolicited and
unexpected, indicate with entire certainty the
possession of qualities that are NOSE valuable
in the service of the State. With Mr.. Drum
mond's natural facility in the dispatch Of
business and his long experience as public
man, and, more than all, with his sterling in
tegrity, which no one has yet dared to i'm
peach, it is certain that he will make one of
the best mayors that Portland has ever had.
On the ground of the general welfare, ire
spective of party or other considerations, it is
the duty of all oitisens to support him, as it
will be the pleas ure Of large majority of them

CURIOUS AND COMPLICATED AFFAR.-Pbe
Pennington Chronicle tells very funny story
OF rumseller of that village who resisted the
efforts of his bail to surrender him. An officer
was employed to take him to Jail, but he fed,
pursued by the sheriff and a large concourse
Of citizens. He finally took refuge in barn.
where after much bluster and threatening, he
was arrested. The hero of the affair is one
Hiram Mace. But the lsequel is where tne
laugh comes in. The sheriff, in his zeal to up
hold the majesty of the law, seized team
hitched in the street, and the man who had it
10 charge. has claim for damages, detention,
etc, which is likely to grow into lawsuit;
tbe owner of the barn where Mace was secre-
ted is threatening an action of trespass:
while it is intimated that Hiram, when again
at liberty, will mulct the sheriff in an actiou
of SANDER, inasmuch as several times during
the early stages of the chase he cried out s'stop
thisf,-words aetionable in themselves, and
not warranted by the circumstances of the
case. -
