Underwriters Sale!

There will be offered for sale at public ven
due, in Norembega Hall, in Bangor, on Tues
day, Aug. lGth the hulk of craft which has
become unscawortby. Said craft was built in
about 1880 and pronounced by A. Jackson to
be A for all time. In 1860, however, she
was overhauled, and remodeled for the con-
federate service and an immense amount OF
COPPER added to her frame, which makes
her too heavy for successful use in time OF
peace. She has OF late years been largely
engaged in the whiskey carrying business.
There will be included in the sale, among
other damaged articles, the following

The Maine Standard comes out this week
with an astounding reason why the gov
eminent should not keep its faith with its
creditors. 1t is because thieves sometimes
break through and steal-6onds, and then
it costs money to capture and punish the
outlaws. That we may not be accused OF
disappearing the organ of the democ-
racy, we print its language:
1.-The injustice of this exemption of bonds
from taxation is well illustrated in the case OF
the robbery of the Lime Rock Bank at Rock
land. A large amount of bonds were stolen
and the government succeeded, at great ex-
pense, in ferreting out the robbers, recover
ing the stolen bonds and arresting the guilty
parties. To prevent the escape of the &C
cused parties, armed guards are constantly
on duty in and around the Jail where they are
confined, these measures of precaution hav-
ing been taken by order of governor Cham
berlain."
Then rolling its eyes and lifting its hands
in holy horror, the Standard adds:
"AH this erpense mast be paid by tares Ter
led upon the people; the bondholders, for the
recovery and protection of whose property
the expense was incurred, do not pay one
cent of it.
This is radical justice. The conscience Of
erery man haring the least particle Of a sense
of Justice, cries out against such class prtri-
leges for the rich at the expense Of the poor
en- classes. 1t is an outrage upon common
honesty and common decency."
This means, if it means anything, that
the State commits wrong by keeping the
robbers of the LIMERICK Bank in durance
vile. And according to this sort of talk
it must have been quite commendable in
that gang of villains to act as they did
They committed no crime according to
the Standard, if, as it says, "Ute conscience
of every man hauing the least particle q
a senseof justice cries out against the ex-
pense of arresting and keeping them in
custody. Alas, to what do the doctrines
of Democracy lead From being cham
pion of the southern confederacy, the
Standard has at last become the justifier
of midnight robberics, provided the little
accumulations in government bonds of
Woodworking mechanics are taken.

Rev. Mr. Dickinson has rendered his res
ignation of the pastorate of the Congregation

says the church and society have appointed a

urge him to withdraw his resignation and re-

with their urgent request and will probably
close his iabors there the first Sabbath in Au-
