The results OF the census in Maine are
creating some surprise. The agricultural
and shipbuilding towns show decrease in
population. Aroostook is the only farming
section that shows gain. The manufacture
ing localities, like Androscoggin County,
show large gains. Bath loses 700, and
Rockland 242, or about the same as Belfast
Rockland exhibits the same curious state OF
things observable here, viz an increase in
the number of dwelling houses and the polls.

ulation. 1t is thought that the whole enum-

to GSO,Ooo, and show gain Of eight per

The issues that twenty years ago made the Dem
ocratic party power, have all been settled Ma
chias Union
We are afraid that much bordering on
'hoss stories' has impaired the memory of
our friend at Machas. There are plenty of
living and well defined issues between the
two parties, that have existed a long time.
Take for instance that of q tariff on imports
1t came into existence with the formation of
the government. The Democratic National
Convention Of 1868 resolved against high
tariff so did the Maine State Convention
of last year, and so will the one of the
present year Will the Union inform us
when, where and by whom this issue was
settled .

RADICAL FINGERS IN THE PENSION FUND.
The following is a dispatch from Washing
ton in one of the New York Republican
WASHINGTON. ,July %

papers
WASHINGTON, July %.
A member of Congress from one of the Southern
States, who figured conspicuousy last winter in
connection with the cadetship frauds is strongly
suspected at the Pension Office of having forged
the name of widow to some pens on papers, and
Of obtaining the money thereon. This was brought
out in recent investigation of the frauds perpe-
trated upon that bureau. A detective left Washing
ton to-day for the home of the suspected Congress-
man, Where an investigation will show whether
the suspicious are well grounded; and if so, an
arrest will Immediately follow.
The Washington correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette (Rad.) says that not one but
several members Of Congress from the South
are implicated in these forgeries. 1t names
OF officers, with authority to examine more
fully and make arrests in each case-Rod-
erick K. Butler of Tennessee. and Judge
Wimpy, member elect from Georgia. Both
appear, from the official documents, to have
endorsed the names of persons, without
authority. upon checks for pensions, and to
have retained the money. In one of Buffers
cases, an officer brief sets forth that he re
ceived check in Washington for Sab pay
able to the order of a widow in North Caro-
lima, in whose behalf he was acting as attor-
ney. Butler endorsed his name and drew
the money Here the matter was discovered
by the pensoner complaining to the office
that she had never received her certificate or
any money. Butler pleaded various matters
in explanation, and finally filed power Of
attorney from the woman, dated prior to the
act of 1869, the time he had endorsed the
check, and also an affidavit dated April, 1870,
setting forth that in her first letter she had
written under misapprehension On in
specting these papers it appeared that they
had both been written on the same sheet and
then torn apart The certificate of court al
tached to them was affixed by the clerk, who
is Buffers son. Butler represents district
that is even more strongly Radical than that

harsher words in the British language I

wretcnof this species. He is just the fellow
for the Conservative Club. l suppose if
Sir Robert Peel had been out Of the way
when he was called upon to take Office, this
fellow would have undertaken to supply his
place. He has falsehood enough, depravity
and selfshness enough to become the fitting
leader of the Conservatives. He is conser-
vatism personifed. His name shows him by
descent a Jew. His father became con-
vert He is better for that in this world; 1
hope, of course, he will be the
better for it in the next There is habit
of undertaking that great and oppressed
nation-the Jews. They are cruelty perse-
cuted by persons calling themselves Chris
tans; but no person ever yet was Christian
who prosecuted The cruellest persecution
they suffer is upon their character, by the
foul names which their calumniators bestowed
upon them before they carried their atroci-
ties into effect They feel the persecution
of calumny severer upon them than the per-

minded, or better educated gentlemen,

therefore, when speak of Disrael as the de-
scendant of Jew, that 1 mean to tarnish
him on that account. They were once the
chosen people of God. There we're miscreants
among them, also, and it must have certainly
been from one of those that Disraeli de-
scended. He possesses just the qualities of
the impenitent thief who died upon the cross,
whose name, verify believe, must have been
Disraeli. For aught 1 know, the present
Disraeli is descended from him; and with the
impression that he is, now forgive the heir

DANIEL OOONNELL ON BENJAMIN
DISRAELI

AS the name of the distinguished author of
Lothian" is now upon the lips of most every
person in England and America, it may be
interesting to our readers to know what DAN
iel O'Connells opinion of him was.
The provocation for the following bitter ex-
tract from speech, delivered at Taunton
about thirty years ago, was furnished by some
remarks of Disraeli's in the course of which
he alluded to O'Connell as a ''traitor" and an
'tincendiary." The great orator, rising in his
wrath to the full majesty of Irish inVective,
thus replied
''This miscreant had the audacity to style
me an incendiary. Why, was a greater in
cendiary in 1881 than l am at present, if ever
1 were one-and if am, he is doubly so for
having employed me. Then he calls me
traitor. My answer to that is, he is liar
He is liar in actions and in words. His
life is living lie. He is disgrace to his
species. What state of society must that be
that can tolerate such creature-having the
audacity to come forward with one set of
principles at one time, and obtain political
assistance by reason of those principles, and
at another to profess diametrically the re-
verse? His life, say again, is a living lie.
He is the most degraded of
his species and kind and England
is degraded in tolerating, or having
upon the face of her society, a miscreant
of his abominable, foul, and atrocious nature.
My language is harsh, and owe an apology
for it, INT will tell you why owe an apo
logy. 1t is for this reason, that if there be

however, that Mr.. Motley would be retained
