A FALSE RUMoR.-An Augusta CORES
pondent of the Bangor Wing announces that
Mr. Webb, State Attorney for Cumberland
County, has withdrawn" as candidate for
United States District Attorney in favor of
Hon. g. f. Talbot, the present incumbent of
that position. AS Mr.. Webb has never an
nounced himself as candidate, the cores
pondent must be mistaken. He is not an
ofice-seeker, and has never appeared in that
capacity, though he has often been honored
with unsolicited official preferment by his
fellow citizens. Neither is Mr.. Webb one of
those difident gentlemen who are not candi-
dates by reason of any wish of their own, but
are considered by "their friends" to become
so. He is an attorney who merely goes about
his business, and serves the people IN official
position when he is elected thereto by their
voluntary suffrage. In the present case,
though we-are not authorized to do so by Mr..
Webb, we deny in behalf of his friends that he
has withdrawn" in favor of Mr.. Talbot. or
that he would refuse to serve, if, without So
licitation on his part, he received the appoint
ment of District Attorney.

The address that we lay before our readers
this morning is characterized in an eminent
degree by those graces of style and rhetorical
excellencies Of which General Chamberlain is
Is the perfect master, and which have given
him wide reputation on the platform of the
lyceum and as the author of elaborate address,
es on various themes. The allusion to the
late Senator Fessenden in the very ornate
peroration is evidently inspired by genuine
feeling, and deserves high place among the
exordilm tributes which the death of the great
Senator has elicicited.
Among the most gratifying statements in
the address are those relating to our State fl
nances By the issue of over three millions
OF bonds to the various municipalities on &C
count of the assumption of the State of the
municipal war debts an appropriation of $50
600 for interest and proportionate part of the
sinking fund will be made necessary; vet the
Governor thinks that the rate of taxation will
be less than last year. The bonds issued to
towns of course increase the general debt
from five to over eight millions of dollars.
The effect of this is different upon different
towns, some gaining and some losing by the
assumption oflocal Indebtedness by the State.
Some of the Governors recommendations
are entitled to especial consideration. Among
these may be mentioned his humane and
convincing plea for more intelligent and con-
| siderate treatment of the insane, a subject

and SO obviously proper that the great won.
der is that it has notbeen suggested and acted
upon before.
Th9. Governors discussion of the temper

prepared parts of the address, and will com
