S. G. Twombly, Porter Ford, P. P. Huntress,


S. G. Twombly, Porter Ford, P. P. Huntress,
Robert Adams, Lyman ]. Aver and George
H. Andrews are active and enterprising bust
ness men and influential Republicans.
Hon. Thomas Quinby was for many years
agent OF the Saco Water Power Company;
mas been the Republican candidate for Mayor
and recently resigned his office as county
Commissioner to accept the position OF ou-
parlntendent of the Portland d Rochester
Railroad. Edwin b. Smith, Esq, member
of the present House oil Representatives from
Saco stands in the front ranks OF his profess
son as lawyer, and is a gentleman OF char
a ter and influence. Hon. Leonard Andrews
has occupied seat in both branches OF our
State Legislature, and his reputation as po-
ltical iebater is not confined to York county.
Hon. Joseph Hobson was the first Mayor
of Saco and formerly represented that city in
The Legislature. He is sagacious and en-
terprising man OF Business, furnishing labor
to hundreds, and welding large Influence in
any enterprise he undertakes. Eliphalet Mott,
Esq. is the Treasurer of the Portland, Saco
q Portsmouth Railroad Co. Hon. Marshall
Pierce was formerly member of the Execu-
tive Council, and is one OF those earnest and
untiring politicians whose faithful services
during the infancy of the Republican party
laid the foundations of its success in York
county strong and deep, and contributed
greatly to the magnificent successes which
have attended it in later years. VIM. II.
Hanson has also represented Biddeford in the
Legislature and is gentleman well known in
that locality for the earnestness with which
he labors for the success OF Republican prin-
ciples. John Tuck is one of the most esti-
mable citizens of York county, and Ill health
alone prevents him from taking prominent
part in political affairs. Major Paul Chad
bourne distinguished himself during the war
as gallant officer, having been Major of the
LIST Regiment of Maine Cavalry.
We have not space 10 allude to the other
sgners further than to say that they are gen.
tleman of influence and integrity, and if they
constitute the part whom the Union "never
heard of" it is quite certain that there are
several very worthy men living in the vicinity
of the Union Office as yet unknown to fame"

Pemaquid.

A skeptic has arisen who doubts the reality
of the "paved streets" at Pemaquid in the
town of Bristol pavements which occupied
SO important place in the transactions of
the Maine Historical Society last summer.
This free thinker, who frankly calls himself
Robin Hood, says that "a person can dig
almost anywhere 10 the fields OF Pemaquid,
and find the same layers of cobble stones a
foot or two beneath the surface" OF course
this is arrant nonsense which can have no
weight with anybody, since ocular inspection
convinced hundreds last summer that nature
never made such symmetrical arrangement
OF cobble stones as appears at Pemaquid. We
wonder that the Telegraph can be so exas-
perated at such folly as the Maine Standards
reviewer of Mrs. Hackleton's poem, James
town of Pemaquid," exhibits. Of course
Maine "licked" Massachusetts, in the settle
ment of New England ! OF course the Pill
grims and the Puritans are stilted humbugs
-vulgary modern and unnteresting beside
the original settlers of New England on the
Maine coast! Of course jamestown of V,r.
ginia and Plymouth of Massachusetts, are all
very well in their way, but when you come to
talk OF antiquity and that sort of thing,-wby
you must inevitably fall back on Sir George
Popham and James cvpof Pemaquid.

Mr.. Lynch's Representative Supporters il,
York County.

The letter appearing in our columns Satur.
day, and copied from the Union ard Journal
is complete vindication of Mr.. Lynch from
the unjust attacks and erroneous statements
OF that paper concerning his standing in York
county, and it is fair to presume that so MANY
gntlemen, Living in the immediate vicinity,
and having favorable opportunities for form
ing an intelligent opinion, have stated tho
sentiments OF the Republican party in ,h.t
locality with absolute precision. The high
character OF the signers of that document
gives 1t significance which is not to be over
looked, while the large number shows con

the utterance OF individual opinion.

PROBABLE FATE OF THE IAJnFF BILL
to make any business calculations on account
of the uncertainty that attaches to certain
financial measures now pending in Copgre. s
especially the tariff bill, will be glad to see the
following speculations from an intellicen,
source,-"Dixon" oil the Boston Advertiser
VINO telegraphs on the 22d as follows:
Pretty much everybody is Specializing as te
the ultimate fate of the tariff bill. The WAYS
ana means committee and the Penns, lvania
interests have been beaten on every paragraph
relatine to iron, thus tar considered generally
4y small najorlties, 'hough a reduction OF tour
uoiiais per ton on iron in slabs. blooms, &C.
was ooay carried by nearly twenty majority
nearly all the New England members present
gong with the leading SO called reiormer
AGAINST the rate fixed by the committee. ne
TACT that such material reductions are maxi Z
Oh iron, tends to some change ia Iue Poei'ioi
of parties on the bill. The high tarin men oe
gin to talk of giving it up, ana gong ior
motion To throw it overheard, while many OF
tbe moderate tariff men show an inclination
to see il they cannot carry reductions on coal,
salt and lumber, and If they succeed in this
they will probably get the bill III! ough. There
are many members who believe it cannot
possibly pass, and they point to the fact thai
though about three weeks of five minutes de-
bale have been spent on it, only fourteen OF
its forty-nine pages are finished in committee
OF the whole. They argue that the House and
country alike Will soon become tired of the
whole thing. Another fact to be considered
is that the revised and codified internal reven
ne bill is yet to be acted upon, as are also the
funding and currency bills, and they claim
that the condition OF business is such as to
render the passage OF both the tariff and tax
bills IN the highest degree improbable. Gen.
Butler seems to be oil this view, and has
brought in brief bill to reduce taxation.
Gen. Paine also has a joint resolution for the
reduction OF the tariff. Mr. Judd of Chicago
arer falling two or three times, by the objec
tion OF Mr.. Mccarthy OF New York, to get his
pill In as separate proposition, moved it to-
Gay as an amendment to the tariff bull. He
knew 1t could not there be considered, but he
has got it before the House and the country
1t looks to a reduction in the tariff and the
adjustment of many taxes. Notwithstanding
all these bills, the majority OF the ways and
means committee still profess to believe the
tariff bill Will be passed.

Political Notes.

Governor Walker of Virginia, receives dali
~ ten bags full of applications for office. He
has the contents carefully filed away.
In February, 1852, the Van Wyck investi-
eating committee reported resolution CEN
surfing Senator Cameron, then Secretary OF
war, Tor placing large sums of public money
In the hands of Alexander Cummings with
out requiring of him any guaranty that it
should be properly used. The resolution
passed the House by vote of 70 to As.
Some OF Mr.. Cameron's friends in the House
will move to have the resolution expunged.
The Boston Post has an active Bangor cor
respondent who draws on his imagination to
any desired extent. This is his last: ."Great
activity is manifested by the Grand Army OF
the Republic throughout the State in refer
ence to the gubernatorial nomination. All
the Posts are on duty and ready to respond

Secretary Boutwell, has declined to inter.

been solicited to use his influence with the
clerks. T..
President Grant is reported to be opposed
to remanding Georgia to military rule.
The Massachusetts Senate has referred TO a

quarters as equivalent to vote to abolish it.
