COUNTY CONVENTIONS.
DOMESTIC UNPLEAsANTNEsS.

There is clashing of clubs and breaking
of heads in the democratic camp. That
hitherto incompatible democratic paper,
the Machias Union, is anxious to make
merchandise of the purity of its party, and
says wanton things immensely prejudicial
to the responsibility of its household. 1t
calls the party "a defunct organization,
destitute of enthusiasm and ineapacitated
from successfully meeting single issue
of the present" In speaking concerning
a genuine democratic nomination, it ex-
claims-"Why re-enact this farce longer ?'
and fit is to be re-enacted-"What's the
use of voting ?"-Those are naughty words
for member of the democratic family to
use, and the ''wayward sister" has brought
upon herself the indignation of her more
discreet and circumspect relative, the Bel
fast journal as follows:
'''A defunct organization Voting the
democratic ticket "a farcen We are accus-
TONED to rebuke such language as that in rad
ical papers. where alone we have seen 1t hith-
erto. And We tell the editor of the Union
that the use of such language is as unwarran-
ted as it is unprecedented. He has no right
10 use IL 1t is untrue. The Democratic
party is strong, vigorous and hopeful.
We call upon the Democracy of Maine to
give rebuke TO this worse than folly. Let
the coming convention be full one, let ev-
cry town be Represented, and then let the issue
be tried whether we have party or not. If
we have, let 1t assert itself, and administer
a ia 4 q " -,
'defunct organization" except the ane which
deserves to be defunct--the republican party"
The Journal scolds through two feet of
type. and pounds the Uranium of the poor
little presumptuous Union, numerically.

The Wing says that on Thursday young
man named John II. Kelley, while passing
Kenduskeag, missed his foot hold and fell be-
tween the sleepers into the water. Being
under the influence of liquor, and receiving a
severe bruise on the head as he fell, he sank
Immediately. He was rescued by Mr.. Col
son, keeper of the draw, and after considera-
bic railing was resuscitated. Somebody was
mean enough to steal Mr.. Colson's wallet
containing ST. while he was saving Kelley's
life. The Wing says Mr.. Colson deserves to
receive rather than lose money, for, besides
rescuing this man, he has recovered the bod
les of two drowned men from the stream this
season.

been bulled by France. But there are few
who contend that Napoleon is right in his de-
mand of Prussia to guarantee that Leopold
shall not be candidate for the Spanish
throne at any future time; that Bismark in
trgued with Gen Prim to get up the Revolu-
ton in Spain and expel Queen Isabella and
her family, apparently in favor of free gov
eminent, and supplied him with the money to
do this; then got him to turn traitor the Lib
eralists after they had assisted him in exiting
Isabella, and after manouvering for a long
time to prevent the crown of Spain from fall
ing into other hands, finally, as was his (Bis-
marks original design, managed to bring up
a Prussian Prince as the most available can
didate, with the view of thereby gaining
Spain as ally and thus placing France be-
tween two fires in case of war.
THE FUNDING BILL
as it passed was a compromise between the
House and Senate, in which the House rather
gained the advantage. The banks made
very hard fight over this and have finally
prevailed; but their success is only Temporal
y,
five per cents are disposed of, Congress will
probably compel them to take the four per
cents, which it has a perfect right to do, as
the Government certainly has the power to
say what the security which it holds shall be.
The commission allowed for selling the
bonds can not exceed one half of one per
cent. The Treasury Department is making
some preparation to issue the bonds, which
will be engraved and printed by the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing connected with the
Department; but the Secretary is in no hurry
to put them upon the market while the pres
ent disturbance exists in Europe. He is
reasonably satisfied with the bill, and has no
doubt that the five and four and one half per
cent. bonds will find ready market.

The Chronicle says the bridge across the
river at Pennington is to be sustained prnci-
pally by oak and brown ash piles. 1t has been
intimatcd that these piles will decay in few
years. The Chronicle is of a different opinion,
and says ''the piles supporting London bridge
are principally of elm, and have been driven
800 years, yet after a critical examination they
have been found to be but slightly decayed.
Old Savory Place, London, is sustained on
piles driven $50 years ago. They consist of
oak, elm, beech and chestnut, and are to-day
perfectly sound. Some of these piles are
subject to the action of the water no more
than will those be which are to sustain the
bridge across the intervale land at Farming
ton. The piles under the bridge built by the
Emperor Trajan over the Danube, have I'M
dergone no change, except some of them
have been petrifed to the depth of three-quar
tiers of an inch, though they have been driven
l 900 years. There need be no fear from this
source, respecting the piles which are to sup
port the railroad bridge. If ice freshets do
not disturb them, and fire and other forces
leave them alone, the present railroad compa-
ny and all concerned in the construction of
the bridge, will have passed away long before
they show any signs of decay"

We learn from the Belfast Journal that a
few weeks ago Mr.. j. Fl. West, while at work
on Moose Horn Bridge, in the back part of
the town of Bucksport, was very badly
injured. He with others was replacing
some heavy stones at the bottom of
one of the abutments which had been
worked out. The travel had not been dis
continued, and while the men were at work
below, carriage passed over, giving the
bridge so much of a jar as to cause the abut-
ment on which they were at work to spread
and fall in ruin. The men tried to save them
selves by jumping into the stream. They all
escaped with slight bruises except Mr.. West,
who was badly crushed by the rocks. His
injuries were internal, and doubts are enter
tanned of his recovery.

to indicate a possibility that the impending
war may end in smoke. The tone of the
English Press is anti French and runor is
strong that Russia also fayors Prussia. The
fact that the project of the Seine has ordered
no more warlike demonstrations in Paris;
that both countries stand at bay; and that
the Prussian charge datfairs still remains in
Paris without demanding his passport or be-

have already stated, the sympathy Of most
