Two men, Davis and Clark, were arrested,
tried at Machias, and sentenced to nine years
imprisonment in the State Prison at Thomas
ton. They made full confession after the
trial, and their exploits had been we'll nigh
forgotten, when last week a letter was re-
ceived by the Messrs. Wadsworth, from Co.
lumbus, Ohio, giving brief history of Davis.
He was born and reared in Columbus served
his apprenticeship in printing office there,
and at the breaking out of the rebellion he
enlisted in the Union army, taking part in the
first battle of Bull Run. Afterwards he re-
enlisted in the 46th Ohio Regiment, and par
ticipated in the battle of Shiloah and siege of
Cor;n.h The letter also states that he was
honorably discharged from the service and
had always been considered an honest boy.
1t is nearly three years since he left home,
and his friends and relations have considered
him dead, till letter was received from him,
written in prison. He has nother---a widow
living in Columbus, and the letter state
that she is highly respected.

For the Daily Journal.
WILL MAINE KEEP HER CREDIT?


To the Editor of the Kenne5ee Journal;
Fifty years ago the people of Maine, Sin
order to establish justice" ordained constr
tuition for the government of the State, and
declared that the Legislature shall pass no law
impairing the obligation of contracts, (Which,
in effect can sometimes be done negatively as
well as affirmatiyely), and that every person
for an injury done him in his property, should
have has right without denial and without de-
lay. q.
Maine has hitherto paid her creditors in
currency (properly enough, perhaps, under
the prevalent understanding of her duty but
no one denies that the decisions Of the Supreme
Court of the United States are the supreme
law of the land, and that Court has now de-
cided that creditors of the State, who became
such prior to Feb. 25, 1862, are entitled to
coin or its equivalent in currency, for their
unsatisfied claims. And yet the Senate OF
Maine saws that class of her creditors shall
not have their right and by yea and nay
vote of II to 6, indefinitely postponed re-
solve, unanimously reported by the Finance
Committee of the House, and unanimously
adopted by the House, directing the State Treas
urer to do simple justice to those creditors
Why was this? The reported proceedings of
the Senate contain no answer to that question:
The creditors referred to loaned the State
specie funds, and the State promised to pay
them specie funds in return, say the Court.
Greenbacks to-day are at a discount of at least
twelve per cent. Can Maine, Cher honor
hitherto unsullied), afford to repudiate her en-
gagements at any price? Is twelve per cent.
on about one eighth of her whole bonded
debt sufficient bride to corrupt her integri-
ty? If the action of the Senate is to stand
and their proposition to celebrate the fiftieth
anniversary of the State shall be carried out
which feature in her history will stand out in
strongest relief, her glory, or her shame /!
If denial of right is a policy to be justly
chargable to Republicans, wherein, as far as
reputation of just debts is concerned is Re
publican practice better than Democratic the
ory and threats?

A communication elsewhere in this paper

A communication elsewhere in this paper
objects to the action of the Senate in indef-
lnitely postponing the resolve to pay our
State bonds in gold. That action was
taken under an impression that the late
decision of the Supreme Court in relation
to the legal tender act might be reversed.
The Senate will maintain inviola:e the
credit of the State, so that its creditors
will have no reason to complain. To do
otherwise would be to go back on the
record of the republican party and cast a
stain upon it which it would be difficult to
erase. rfh

The news from Cuba brings sad tidings
of bloody works there. On both sides
wholesale butcheries have taken place.
Quesada had shot one hundred and thirty
five Spaniards and Jordan three hundred
more in retaliation for the butchery of
numerous Cuban families by the Spaniards.
More arrests have been made and more
killing done since then by the Spanish au-
thorities, and among the victims are
Americans, whose execution must be &C.
counted for to our government. There
has been for some time a call to interfere
in the name of humanity to stop this bar
barous warfare in Cuba, and the longer
the delay the more urgent the call. i"A
