GAIT HoUsE.-We call attention to
the card of this famous hotel, which appears
in to-days issue. There is no hotel in the
Southern States, and we may say in the
United States, that surpasses it in the ele-
gance and completeness of its appointments.
Indeed they are but few that equal it. 1t is
under the management of Col. Jilson P.
johnson, who while he is courteous and po-
lite to all of the guests of the GAIT HOUSE,
takes particular pleasure in making all
Southerners feel at home while under his
charge. We would not feel that we had
done the GAIT justice if we did not add that
there is no cleverer gentleman or attentive
clerk than Mr.. Murphy, who has charge of
its Office. Guests will find that he is always
ready to oblige them.

recent publications, denied afiliatioh
with the Republican party.
We make no war ON the University.
But We have warned the people that it
has been ruthlessly seized by the spoils-
men who have determined to Radicalize
it either by cow erting the present Facul-
ty into Radicals, OF insulting them into a
resignation of their places. The extraor-
binary and unprecedented letter to the
Chancellor of the Institution recently
published, indicates the design of the
cunning and malignant rulers, and the
Faculty had as well make up their minds
whom they will serve, if they have not
already done so, especially the true men
in it.

quently we are without official returns.
The negroes have 10000 registered ma

of the managers to manipulate the re-

suit. The Congressional delegation,

We clip from the New Orleans Times the
following notice of one of our advertisers:
We acknowledge decided leaning to-
ward new goods, and therefore took much
pleasure in the diplay We saw at Capt. B.
T. Washes yesterday, embracing elegant
children's suits, such as Harvard, Lafayette,
Knickerboeker, Bismark, and sailor styles,
with beautiful little overcoats to match: in
fact, everything for the outfit of boys and
children, including undershirts, socks, etc.
In his assortment he has stylish suits for
cherub of two and a half years, and the
twelve or fifteen years, with the intermedi-
ate grades and sizes. While there we saw
some boys being fitted out for school, and
from their looks of pride and satisfaction,
we anticipate that their progress in their
tudies will be such as to amply repay thei
loving parents outlay. What we saw in
| children's clothing was, however, mere
| child's play to the splendid stock of mems
| goods that Capt. Walshe has just opened,
such as shirts fhis own make, Cartwri ght
| and Warmers celebrated English underwear,
endless variety of neck ties and collars, all
kinds of toilet articles, perfumery, soaps,
hair brushes, combs and jewelry, both pla-
ted and real gold, which are largely used
now in a gentleman's toilet owing to the
present fashion ofmaking shirts. We would
recommend those who wish to see really
fine and well selected stock of goods TO cal

BASIS OF DELEGATES.
SnowHEGAN, June 10, 1870.

SnowHEGAN, June IS, 1870.
To The Editor of the Kennebec Journal:
Ny attention has been called to an article
I in y0pf paper to the effect that had, without
warrant, placed an unjust construction upon
the basis of representation in the call for
State convention in the interest OF. General
Hersey. The only correspondence have
had in reference to the subject was with Hon.
Ignatius Sargent of Machias who presume
is friend of Mr.. Perham. He informed me
that the call had been published wrong in
several papers, and suggested to me to correct
the error. I then wrote to him requesting
him to see the publisher of the Republican,
and to avoid any further misapprehension,
stated in a note only what had been the usage
of the State Committee and committee on Gre
dentials during the past two or three years.
The call resad thus: every city, town and
plantation is entitled to one delegate, and an
additional delegate for every IS votes for the
republican candidate for Governor in 1868.
A fraction of forty votes will be entitled to an
additional delegate" l have put no new
construction upon the call; at least, it has
been practiced the past three years-was
practiced in 1866. Before had written to
Mr.. Sargent, the Oxford Democrat had pub
lished the number of delegates to which the
several towns in that county were entitled, in
which, in every case where a town had
forty or more republican votes, fraction of
70, it was allowed two delegates The same
is true of call for district convention now
published in the same paper.
The writer of that article, ambushed be-
hind fictitious signature, can understand
what he pleases, and cast such reflections as
best suit his purpose, so long as he is safe.
1t may be an ''unwarranted assumption, but
if so, it is not mine, but one sanctioned by
usage, which, if he were half so eager to as
certain the truth as to cast imputations upon
the motives of others, he would have known
