Death of Senator Fessenden,

William Pitt Fessenden died at his
residence in Portland, Maine, Wednes.
day morning at halfpast six. Mr.
Fessenden was born October Is, 1906
at Boscawen, New Hampshire, and
graduated at BowdQin College, Maine,
when quite young. He was elected to
the State Legislature of Maine at the
age Of twenty-six and was reelected
for five successive terms. He was a
member of the Lower House of the
Twenty seventh Congress, and de
| Ginning n reelection was elected to the
United States Senate as a Wing in
1854, to succeed J. w. Bradbury, De.
mocrat. He was re elected in 1859,
but resigned on being appointed Score
tary of the Treasury in 1864. His
health falling him, he was compelled
to resign his place in Mr. Lincoln's
Cabinet after the expiratin of a few
months. He was soon returned to the
Senate by the Legislature of his State,
having defeated Hannibal Hamlin, his
principal competitor. The term for
which he was elected in 1865 does not
expire until March 3, 1871.
Mr.. Fessenden's C was due
entirely to his great abilities. There
was no personal magnetism about the
man, and he had very few warm per-
sonal friends. He was declared to be
cold blooded and selfish by those who
knew him best, and he seldom perfor-
med acts of generosity DR. kindness for
those to whom he owed his elevation
to place. Through force of intellect
alone he gained a place in the Senate
and easily kept it, because he was adj
mitted to be his own States ablest
public man. Some of Mr.. Fessenden's
earlier speeches in the Senate establish
ed for him the reputation of being a
man of comprehensive, statesman-like
views. AS a constitutional lawyer he
had, perhaps, no equal in the Senate,
and of the science of the Government,
his knowledge was profound. His
whole life was devoted to the study of
that class of subjects the knowledge of
which thoroughly fitted him for the
discharge of the high duties which
devolved upon II whose position was
so conspicuous and so commanding.
Fessenden made legislation a business
and paid little attention to what was
outside his senatorial duties. He
never bothered his head about con.
ventions or candidates or platforms,
never took any steps to secure his own
re election and though Indifferent to
political consequences in casting his
votes, was never Indifferent to duty.
vas a Republican on principle and
and from conviction, but too indepen-
dent and self-willed to be a trusted
party leader, and too cautious and
conservative to be in the van of pro-
gress. An ~eminently safe merit the
grand old name OF statesman, and
among the.yery few who IN his loss
will in truth be a public loss and his
death a calamitous event.-State Jour-

The Public Debt.

The Public Debt when properly
spoken of, means that class of obliga
lions represented by securities issued
and stated on The, public books of ac
count. The Ledger will of course &C,
curately show that state of the debt,
at rny moment unless there has been
dishonest suppression. But the Ledg-
er balance neve shows the true state
of public obligation, forthere may be,
and generally is, a large amount of
dedt awaiting settlement and entry,
preparatory to payment or the issuing
of new evidences of public debt. 1t
the government were entirely honest
and meant to be honest, it would re-
ceive evidence of all claims presented
and if the claims were of a kind pro-
per to be paid, and duly sustained by
evidence it would settle them and pay
them. But the Government is not
honest, and it has shown a fixed pur-
pose of keeping down the apparent
sum of the debt, by rejecting claims
that ought to be paid and must be
paid, and it p~erverts statements OF
Public Debt, by the omission OF items,
and by the deductions of cash on hand
when that cash is needed for common
expenditures and cannot be applied to
the payment of Public Debt proper.
Under the lead of Mr.. Delano
while in Congress that body declared
that property used and destroyed in
war, should not be paid for, because
it would make the debt too big. We
had already taught the South that
they should repudiate their debt, in
on their side of the same war,
and a repetition of the process with a
class of our W debt is not the1
way to teach a high regard for anoth-
class of debt, which has been de-
to be Gas sacred as a soldiers
grave" if that phrase vas not meant
and cunningly meant to have a double
and a secret. meaning
The Public have. been treated to re-
5ular Bulletin Staten ents, showing
he reduction Of the Public Debt
since Grant came in" as if that in
could have possibly produced
my new sources of income, or made
my new trade for the country.
The truth is there has been no re-
luction of the Debt. and the r :tended
;howings to that end, are the mere
.ricks of Treasury Statement, with ar
omissions of debt on one side
md factitions insertion of resources on
he other. A disastrous increase of
nports has given the Treasury an in
:rease to be followed by a reaction.
1t is very difficult to make a true
statement of the comparative Debt at
he date ofthe proper quarterly settle
nents, owing to the mode practiced at
he Treasury Department of showing
,nly manipulated balances, but the at
ention of minds competent to the de-
is now given to the task,
nd the public will know the truth.

Turing and dug through the brick
wall by the side of the door till they
came against the granite and could GO
no further. Through this aperture,
however, they were able to introduce
a charge of powder between the two
doors. The explosion forced open the
outer door and shook the building so
as to break the ~plastering and the win
dows. The noise awakened several
families living near by. Lights APP
peared III the houses, and it is suppcs-
ed the burglars saw them and did not
return. The explosion was probably
heavier than they expected. Two
empty powder canisters indicate that
about two pounds of powder were used.
Although many people were aroused,
no one appeared to mistrust the cause
OF the shock, and at half-past four in
the morning two hours after the explo-
sion, fire was discovered and the alarm
given. The fire vas easily extinguish-
ed and but little damage was done. A
dark lantern, several bars, bits, GIN
lets, DC, were left in the room. In
the curse of the day the vault was re
paired and the locks and doors again
put in working order. Upon one OF
these doors is a curious lock which has |
gained some fame. 1t was invented |
and made thirty-ive years ago by
Charles bennett. an ingenius mechan-
ic, and one of the first directors of the
Bank. There is not anoth-
lock in the world like it. 1t is not
finished, but very strong and
perfectly original in design. Twenty
six years ago when an attempt was
made upon this bank, this lock was
5wice charged with powder and explod-
I'd, yet it did not give way. 1t is now
as good condition, apparently as
when it was made. Many years since
| locksmith came from New York to
his place to sell, if possible, a bank
ock, and he laughed at this specimen
# a countryman's skill, which he as
iured the cashier he could pick in hall
III hour. He was promised that the
,ank would buy one of his locks if he
Gould do so. The bolt was thrown
tut with the door open to give him
very facility, and the key placed IN
lis hand. He took his own time, and
Lfter several hours hard work, with
,ut any progress, he concluded to GO
lome, taking his own lock with him.
The bank offers a reward of $500 and
he town 5000 more for the arrest and
conviction of the burglars.

The Attempted Bank Robbery at Ro-

Was Done.

The following is an account of the
attempted bank robbery which produ-

flee and the same vault. To effect an
entrance the robbers selected a window
nearly concealed from view of the
street, but they evidently found more
difficulty than they expected in work
ing through the shutter, which was
lined with iron and resisted their tools.
1t was evidently pried off by force
The vault is of granite, with brick ma
sonry around it several feet in thick
ness. There ire two heavy iron doors
with a variety of locks, ancient and
modern, and inside of the vault is a
steel safe with one of the most sap-
proved and expensive locks. a story,
has been circulated that the outer door
of the vault was not locked. The N
ly foundation for it is this: The
bolts were all turned, but there was a
small dial lock ON the door which is
used to cover the key-holes, but which
had become so disarranged that the
officers were in danger of being locked
out by it. On the night of the rob-
berry this dial was placed in its position
SO that a single revolution in one di-
rectlon would lock it, while a short
turn in the other direction would re-
move it. The burglars turned it in
the direction TO lock it, thus destroy

Grant as Head Center.

There was a squirrel who ran into q
hole and drew the hole in after him.
This was the last heard of the squir.
rel or the hole.
When Grant was made President,
all worldly or national matters came
to an end-all things political center
ed in our noble President-the Re
publican party with Grant went into
the hole, and Hiram the first is now
pulling the hole in after him.
Good-by, Great Man and great par
ty! We mourn, but find consolation
elsewhere.
Grant swings around all sorts OF
circles. He visits all sorts of re-
sorts-stops at all manner of hotels
receives all kinds of presents, and
in answer to pretty little speeches
manages 10 thank his auditors. And
always in this style:
81 think you for the compliment
you have paid me. 1 think very much
of YOU"
And this
"I shall buy a house here if I can
and will come here and liv e all the
time / can, for 1 like it here"
And this
81 like this State for it gave me a
big majority"
And this
4 am glad to see you, and shall
come here again and partake of your
inequalities, for l like them"
And this
81 like this part of Pennsylvania,
for l never caught such trout before.
L am glad to see you"
God bless our noble President !!
Nothing is too good for him-the en-
tire country wa discovered, subdued,
improved, desolated, and restored for
Grant, and none other. We are glad
he knows and appreciates the fact.
Some Presidents, at times, have said
something about the country, its wants,
capacities, and resources. They have
at times thought of something besides
themselves, but, alas! they were all
fools compared to Grant.
God bless the great man
The most complete personal pro-
noun in the world!
He thi nks so much and says so
much of the country!
Happy country to have such a great
to rule it.
And he has lived here for years-a
under a bushel, and no one
knew it.
Stupid country!
Wonderful Grant

Death of the Secretary of War.

General John A Rawlins, the Sec
rotary of War, died in Washington at
four o'clock Monday afternoon. The
news of the death of this gallant sol
der. and prominent Cabinet officer,
will be received with profound regret
throughout the United States. Dur
ing the most eventful years of the
war, General Rawlins, as the Chief
of General Grants Staff, rendered as
delicate and important services to the
cruntry as any officer in the army of
the United States. His fidelity, his
g~allantry and his skill, rendered him
an indispensable aid to the command
er of the armies in all his great under
takings, and as evidence of the appre-
citation in which his great services we're
held, the President called him toill one
of the most difficult positions in his
Cabinet, after restoration of peace.
Although weighed down by illness, and
d.spirited by a disease which has long
threatened to destroy his life, Gen
eral Rawlins maintained his high re
~putation as Secretary of War, and
seems to have possessed to the day of
his death the confidence of the army,
and in an eminent degree the confidence
and love of President Grant Union
his character for integrity not one
breath of suspicion has eve been cast,
He has served his country faithfully
and nobly in war and in peace. His
heroic soul has passed away while in
the midst of his labors, and seldom in
deed has death cut short Il more use
full life. History will pr nounce him
a rue patriot, a brave soldier, a wise
and prudent councillor, and a high
minded, upright man. His memory
will be long cherished among brave and
patriotic men.-Stote Journal.
