The following address of a Radical

bad hit at what is called freedom of

will give you perfect liberty to contra
dict and controvert the notions and
opinions of everybody but himself:
1.-THE undersigned ~retires from the

ton that all is vanity. From the hour
he started his paper to the present
time he has been solicited to lie Upon
every given subject, and can't remem;
Der ever having a wholesome truth
without diminishing his subscription
list or making an enemy. Under
these circumstances of trial, having a
thorough contempt for himself, he re-
tires in order to recruit his moral con-
stitution."

Hon. J ohm 9. Tensev.

This distinguished lawyer and Judge died at
his home in Norridgewock, after painful in
ness, on the oath inst Judge Tenney was
born in Rowley, Mass, January 21, 1796. AZ
ter persuing his studies at the celebrated By-
field Academy, he entered Bowdoin College,
from which he took his degree in 1916, with
high honors, in class which included among
its members Judge Bourne, of Kennebunk.
the late Randolph Goldman, of Portland, and
Prot. Packard, of Bowdon College, of whom
Judge Bourne and Prof. Packard are now the
only survivors. After graduating he kept the
Academy at Warren, in this State, about nine
months, when he entered the office of the late
Thomas Bond, at Hallowell. as student of
law. On being admitted to the bar he estab-
lished himself at Acknowledgements, the shire town
OF the county, where for twenty years be had
a successful practice and established a high
reputation. The lawyers then practicing at
that bar were eminent in the profession-
Among them were Timothy Boutele, Ruel
Williams, Frederic Allen, George Evans and
Peleg Sprague. In this severe competition he
maintained an honorable position, SO much SO
as to make him successful candidate for the
bench OF the Supreme Court, as successor to
Judge Nicholas Emery in 1841 The important
and arduous duties of an Associate Justice he
faithfully discharged, delivering learned opin-
IONS on questions of profound interest for four
teen years, having been reappointed for sec.
ond term, when, in 1885, he was raised to the
Chief Justiceship, as successor to the learned
G. j. Shepley, who now happily survives him.
Having served his constitutional term of seven
years, he closed his judicial career and retired
to his quiet home and studies in the beautiful
village of his adoption, where his useful labors
and honorable life have now forever ceased.
In 1850 he vas appointed lecturer at Bow
dom College on Medical Jurisprudence, the
duties of which he continued regularly to dis
charge for about fifteen years. The same year
he received from that Institution the degree of
Doctor Of Laws. In 1888 he represented Nor
ridgewock in the Legislature, and in 1864 he
filed the Office of Senator. Judge Tenney had
tall and commanding figure, his elocution
was forcible and graceful, his manner genial
and courteous. He could not and did not fail
to attract attention and command respect in
whatever society he moved.
Lilies blessings ell enjoyed, life's labor done,
Serenely to bis final rest he passed."

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago Post, writ
ing from Jackson, Miss, says:

Active preparations are being made for the
coming campaign. The regular Republicans
have recently made a complete reorganization
of the State Executive Committee, who have
established headquarters n the State Capitol
in this city. The committee with Col. r, C.
Powers at the head, is composed of active
earnest working men. The work of organic,
ing the party has commenced and will be
made very effective throughout the entire
State. Large accessions are being daily re.
ceiyed from the white men in the State. and
the prospect is indeed hattering for complete
success A large number of removals of bolt
ing Republicans from Office have recently been
made both of those holding State and Federal
appointments. The list includes Major Wof
ford, Postmaster at Corinth; G. Gordon Adam.
U. 5. District Attorney, Southern district:
Judge Jeffords of the High Court of Errors
and Appeals; Judge Speed, of the Criminal
other min )r officials. Most of these were ap-
pointed by Gen. Gillem, and had been permit
ted to hold their positions mp to this time
The effect OF these removals has been very en-
conrasing to the regular Republicans, and has
thrown damper on the boilers They had
boosted that the President was with them in
their movement to disrupt the party in this
State, and that Gen. Ames dared not t"ucb
their official craniums; but finding those very
necessary appendages suddenly stricken off,
they are beginning to realize the utter hope
)essness of their movement The Presidents
recent emphatic declaration made to Gen.
Isabel and his letter to Judge Dent have been
bomshell in the camp, and tire supporters of
the Dent movement are greatly discouraged
They bave called Convention to be held here
on the 9th Of September. 1t is in the Dent TO-
terest, but recent occurrences as above indica-
ted render it very doubtful whether Dent will
be nomiD mated. The indica ions now that the
straight Democracy, who have all the time
been the power behind the Greens, will throw
off the mask and make nominations of their
own men on the platform OF opposition to the
administration and the Fifteenth Amend
ment If this is done the Republicans will
have an easy victory.
