to the concert tonight. The call that has been
made by the different charitable societies upop
the public this season has been very favorably
responded to, as we have been given TO under

We are very sorry to be told, this morning,
that after the expenses of the entertai nment
are paid only few hundred dollars will re-
main to be appropriated to the objects of the

this sum to something handsome, and let the

to every suffering soldiers widow and orphan
in the city.
The programme is very choice one and

CERTAINLY, We will publish the article of the
Kennebec journal ON the Senatorial mattar

CERTAINLY, we will publish the article of the
Kennebec Journal on the Senatorial matter
with great pleasure. Here it is: I'D ..,..,.
The sober, second thought in relation to the
Senatorial nomination, will settle that matter
on basis which will secure peace, harmony
and strength within the Republican party. 1t
va scarcely possible that the earnest rivalry
winch existed between the friends of the two
candidates should die at once and particularly
under such circumstances as occurred at the
caucus; but we feel and know that the excite
mept IS subsiding and the right spirit at work,
and that the party will prove as able to con-
quer itself as to humble its enc les in this dust
The duty of the hour is to keep true to the line
OF rectitude. We have no fears of any serious
division. They who predict it rate the man.
hood of the Republican party too low. We
shall settle this matter within our lines, and if
Democrats look on it will be with sorrow and
chagriD, and not with exultation. .,r-
Now we submit that when we construed that
to mean "peace," we construed it right. We
knew that the managers of that paper were at
Augusta and were aware of this fact; that at a
caucus Of the Republican members OF the Leg
islature held at Augusta one week ago this
evening Hannibal Hamlin received IS votes
having clear majority of all the uotes hroacn-
that tie committee for counting the votes so
reported, that their report was accepted and
that Hannibal Hamlin was nominated When
therefore the Journal deprecated any disturb
aRce, advised a firm adherence to "the path of
rectitude," no one could avoid the conclusion
that it advised acquiescence in the nomination
made by the party. In what different way is
it possible to follow the path of rectitude?
What other way of peace can the journal
point out? Can anyone give different con
struction than ours to the Journals paragraph?
Can the Journal itself? 1t is not to be pre-
sumed that it advises the majority, who nomi-
mated their candidate, to yield to a part of the
minority who failed in their efforts

MORE DIsooURsEs FROM GRANT-The New
York Worlds vivacious correspondent, who
recently gave an account of conversation
with Grant, in which the latter gave his opin-
ions of public men with great freedom, de
cares that his former letter was substantially
truthful, and completes it by extending the list
of notables criticised. According to this au-
thority Grant is not particularly fond of ex-
Secretary Stanton. He styles him military
necessity who should have disappeared with
the war. Gen. Banks is an unsuccessful SOL
der whose vocation lies in civil life. Senator
CONFESS he calls constitutional Pathfinder;
Fitzpatrick more unpopular than Butler; Sick
les man of fine executive talent who never
had chance to develop himself; Ben. Wade a
reliable old fellow who can't bear peace; Hen
ry Wilson man of generous impulses; Chan
dler an amiable man and "always in the best
of spirits" Admiral Porter man of very
great ability; and Gen. Schofeld an unexcep-
tonable war minister. The correspondent
says that Grant made the following declara-
ton: "Tbe people expect me to save them
from this wholesale robbery by officials. They
expect me to see the laws executed and the
revenues faithfully collected So help me God
I,oM do it or resign. An executive officer who
is satisfied of his inability to execute the laws,
is unworthy the respect of his fellow citizens
If he continues to hold on to the Office. Meth
er do believe that the offices of the govern
rent were to be used for the placing or retain
ing In power Senators and Members of Con
gress. shall never recognize the so-called
