The Lincoln County herald., 1870-09-29


Within the next ten days the Brown
wing will have out candidates for Con.
gress in every district in the State. In
fact, the slate is, with one or two exccp.
tions, already filed.
Notwithstanding the Democrats have
several thousand majority in the Third
Congressional district of Maryland, the
Radicals have quarreled and nominated
two candidates for Longrcs.-R. Stockett
and General Adam E. King.
On tho receipt of the news Of the sur.
render Of Louis Napoleon and his army
to the Germans, after the battlo of Sedan,
James Saxon, Sem, editor of the Canton
CO., Repository, published the announce.
ment in his paper in parallel columns
with that Of the surrender of the first
Napoleon after Waterloo, taken from the
files Of his own paper Of August, 1915,
fifty FIVE years ago. He was an editor
then as now.
A letter received at Washington from
Charleston says that the condition of
things in Newbury and Lawrence counties
in that State has not been correctly rep.
resented BY the kilograms. At one time
there were two or three hundred negroes
armed. While several hundred white
men, as the posse comitatus of the sheriff
were moving against them, arrests of the
ring leaders quieted down matters, but
the prevailing political excitement is so
great that formidable outbreak is ex-
pected.
Whenever the Radicals are badly used
up in any Of the New England State
elections, somehow the rest Of the coun.
try is not flooded with telegraphic dis
patches giving the returns. The back.
wardness Of information this year will
be observed. The Maine papers, how.
ever, convey much pleasing news to Dem
ocrats. Maine is slowly, bat surely, fol.
lowing her sister States and wheeling into
the Democratic line. The Radical major.
ity is less than 5000. The Democratic
gain is more than 1000. The Demo.
cratic strength in the Legislature is
largely increased, and as between the two
factions of Chamberlain and Morrill,,
Radicals, the Democrats will ho'd the
balance Of power. Many cities and
towns have gone democratic this year for
the FIRST time. As in the recent Vermont
.election, the Democrats have covered
themselves with glory. With equally
good work next year Maine will be re-.
deemed.
Fisk, Jr.,-Jim, the Colonel fur.
nished an interviewer of the New York
Sun with detailed account of the man
ner in which he and Jay Gould paid
Grants thousand dollar subscripti to
the "Rawlins fund" The check was ex.
hibited to the interviewer, and the Colo.
mel is preserving it for the benefit of fu :.
ture historians. To an exclamation Of
surprise that Grant allowed o stranger to
pay subscription in honor Of the memory
Of his dearest friend, Fisk responded
with forty horse power as follows
"Grant is not only q greedy little
wretch, but he's . fool. He don't know
anything. He hasn't brains enough to
comprehend the position in which such
a thing places him before the country.
All he can see in the matter 10 that he
saved q thousand dollars by it. He is
too destitute Of sensibility to comprehend
what you say about the subscription's e
being q sacred Offering upon the altar Of
friendship He is incapable of true
friendship, and never felt any Of the sen.
timens which true friendship inspires.
To sum him up 10 one sentence, he is the
nations hog"
