We under stand the Fish Commissioners will
this summer Introduce quantities Of black bass
into the following lakes and ponds of Maine,
viz: Lake Chemo, Eddington; Range pond,
Poland; Belgrade pond and Newport pond
About fifteen thousand fish are already con-
tracted for, and are daily expected. This is
movement in the right direction. We do not
know SO much about the other ponds as we do
about the Range pond in Poland. In fact there
are three ponds in Poland connected, the up
per Middle and Lower, and the waters OF all
will afford excellent homes for the black bass,
a fish not only excellent for the table, but one
that Affords excellent sport for the angler
He is game fish quite as much as the trout.
.,a e he were as beautiful as the trout, he
would be esteemed superior as game fish,
They will have a fiue range in these three
ponds. There are now in these waters, perch,
clubs of large size, pickerel, several kinds of
small fish, and the mottled or fork-tailed trout,
which grow to fifteen and twenty pounds
weight. They are not often taken with the
hook, but are murderously stabbed with the
spear, fall and spring. We have taken few
with the hook in years past. Black bass and
these trout will live well enough together, and
in company too with the pickerel The red
spotted trout don't like such company, nor
such waters We are glad the Commissioners
are about to introduce the black bass. We
know them pretty well, having taken them in
Lake Champlain and in the waters of the st.
Lawrence river and the Ottawa. They will
grow to the size of five or six pounds, but one
weighing three pounds will give the angler
sport In BLEEDING time" they bite readily at
the live plinnow or the spoon. They are a
good match for the pickerel, and hold good
fight with this fresh-water shark.

was present portion of the time, during
the session of this convention, and as an old
and sincere friend of temperance took deep
interest in its proceedings. My name appears
as one of the Vice-President and also mem
Der of the committee on resolutions. As the
Republican party was originally organized as
temperance party,-as fully appears by its
early days. and through its agency and in
strumentality, we have received all our legisla-
ton, tending to suppress the traffic in intoxi-
eating drinks; and as it, at its recent State
Convention, 'emphatically renewed its adhe-
sion to the principles of prohibition and Wig
orous execution of laws to that end'-l could
not bring myself to believe that the organiza-
ton of new party at the present time antag-
onistc to the Republican party-solely upon
this issae-would be practicable, or instrument
tai in advancing the great temperance cause,
in Maine.
In accordance with these honest convictions
voted against the formation Of new party.
A large majority of the Convention, with the
best motives and purposes decided differently
After this question was settled, 1 did not feel
that I could consistently take further part in
the proceedings.
As to the question whether or Lot consis-
tent temperance man, can vote for Governor
chamberlain express no opinion; for I be-
I'VE that class of men generally have some
Wy decided convictions as to their duty upon
thu subject, but cannot see the expediency
OF ieming new party, when its inevitable
resuA will be to divide up, and scatter the
tempeance men of Maine, and destroy that
harmoF of action which has SO happily exist
ed in thsr ranks for the last fifteen years.
If the importance plank in the platform OF
the Bangr Convention is a party trick, a
cheat, swadle as alleged by the friends of
the third paiy movement, we shall all find it
out in due tim; and in such an event, there
would be then ut one voice and one opinion
among the fifty thousand temperance men of
Maine,-raise the Temperance standard high
above all party Examinations and around it
rally to the polls and eight it out Or that line
until victory perch upon their flag.
At the present time, fail to see that sch a
contingency is upon us. have not single
word of censure to utter against the noble
band of men in the temperance raa,xs
who differ with me upon this question
They are true and tried men of homes
convictions, men who act from prin
J ciple without reference to the honor
and emoluments of office. Neither cal
there be any objections raised against the gen
I tleman they have selected for their standar
bearer, Hon. N. G. Hitchl orn. His long an
faithful services in the Republican ranks
high moral worth, and ability are too we
known, to re nder any special Endorsement

The Fourth Of July.

Yesterday we recognized as an honest hide
pendent Day. It was appropriate that it came
Sunday, and none the less fifty celebrated in
that its ceremonies were worship, its festivities
sacred praise, and its solemnities public prayer.
We thus celebrated a land disenthralled, q race
emancipated, and people united.
The blemish en- our escutcheon has been
wiped out, and America, sad with the memory
of her recent sufferings, pale with the loss OF
her choicest blood, looks out among the ma
tons, acknowledged to be, without proclaim
ing it herself,
..The land of the brave and the home OF the free
There are some clouds yet in our sky, and
thew are moving Eastward and lit with sun
shine The popular discontent is not all abat-
ed Hearts are aching yet with smothered re-
sentiments and defeated ambitions. 1t is hard
for the powerful and the privileged to give up
wealth and influence and step down into the
common mass, where heir votes are neutral
lied by as many German hod-carriers or negro
held-hands. But justice is always best for all.
The new order of equal rights will adjust it
self, and brains will win in fair competition
heir larger share of the goods bestowed on all.
So thank God for truly free country and
tor a Constitution that protects the poor, while
IL 7oes not allow the rich to be defrauded.
Thask God for another anniversary OF our In
DEPEsDLNcE and for the new illustration we
have sivenby noble act of righteousness, of
which the hspd of the martyred Lincoln was
the minister, e our national motto:
an men are veated equal endoaoed By the
Creator Nth certen i,aalienable rights, among
sehfch are LIFE, LIBERTY and THE PURSUIT OF
HAPPINESS"

TIE Boston Herald SAYS.


The Democrats can take advantage of the
decentralization in the ranks of the Republi-
cans, and if they are wise enough to drop dead
issues, and to recognize the fact that there has
been food, they will stand a good chance to
win.
True, but they can't be made to believe there
ever was flood, any more than the Dutchmen
In Pennsylvania can be made to believe that
General jackson is dead. As as to the demon
alization in the ranks of the Republicans"
that's all in the Heralds eye. There are some
Democrats here now, and there were probably
more before the Democratic State Convention.
who were "wise enough to drop dead issues"
and for that purpose were anxious to nominate
Gov Chamberlain as their candidate. If
their Convention had nominated him they
would have taken one long stride towards
dropping dead issues, which means the same
thing as covering up the ugly tracks they made
during the great rebellion. But they have not
done SO, and, therefore, have chosen to fight
on the old ground, where they have been SO
often whipped, and must always be whipped
in such a battle. We have no disposition to
torment them before their time.

IL UAC dtIOuS VI the ICSSs
The death of the late proprietor of the
Daily and Maine State Press, has recent
ly resulted in change Of ownership, and
1t becomes necessary that all who are in
arrears over one years subscription for
the above papers, or are otherwise. in debt
should pay up at their earliest convenience.
In many instances letters have been forward
ed to our more distant subscribers. We trust
that if such notices have not been received,
this information will be considered of suffi-
cient Importance as to receive from our
friends their earliest attention. We propose
that our rules in this instance shall be so
modified that prompt payment on the part
of those in arrears shall not subject any per-
son to any additional payment over the usual
rates for cash subscription, provided, that no
arrears are left unpaid and the subscription be
continued. The printed slip on papers indi-
Gates the time to which subscriptions are
paid. Observe that the date is changed with

PoLIcE.-There were nine entries on the ho-
tel register of the station house Saturday, and
the guests will have the pleasure of remaining
over till Tuesday. All OF these were simple
drunks with the exception of two ARRAYS.
One of these latter took place at west end
barracks. Mrs. Kane got into drunken al
tereation with several neighbors, and she was
brought off to keep the peace. The other was
between James Conner and James Butcher.
These two got into scientific fight, in which
Butcher got his head pretty well butchered,
and both men were lodged in Jail.
A lot of boarding house runners went aboard
an English vessel at Central wharf, got the
crew off and got them intoxicated. Officer
Curran was notified that fight was going or
and Immediately went down, but as the parties
had all left except the crew no arrests were
made.
William Ferguson, a sailor, was arrested by
Officer Curran for striking his mate, and wa;
