BOOK NOTICES.

The GREAT BIBLICAL WORK or THE NINE
TENTH CENTURY. There never was a
time when the human mind was more ac-
tive in its inquiry into the meaning and au-
thority OF the Bible; and there never was
a time when greater help was given to the
intelligent student. Take DR.. Smiths
Dictionary of the Bible" for instance.
Here is book. which no one man could
have prepared, but which embodies the Ia
nors Of upwards of one hundred OF the first
Biblical scholars in the world. IL Is the
high water-mark OF Christian scholarship.
The English edition was no sooner COM
plcted than Hurd & Houghton, New York,
Publishers, took it. placed 1t In the hands
Of Professor II. b. IIackett, perhaps now
the foremost Biblical scholar in the count
~. and associated with him DR.. Ezra Abb
bot, OF Harvard University, who has mic
roscopic eye for errors OF every kind.
These. assisted by more than twenty en-
ineut divines and scholars in America, have
produced an edition which must take rank
AZ better than the best, for 1t contains all
that was in the great English Edition. with
maps and engravings, and has important
matter added TO it. 1t must be many
year, before we shall see any book that
begins 10 compete with this for compile
ness and thoroughness. No one who stud
les the Bible can afford TO be without 1t. II

TIE ALABAMA CLAIMS. The Hon.
George Upton OF Boston has written "A
letter 10 Earl Russell. dated March %.
in which he replies Ia the objections
made by the latter, in the introduction
OF his recent volume, TO the statements
OF Mr.. Upton, in "A petition to the United
States Senate. In that petition. Mr..
Upton characterized the Alabama and
British manned. and British armed"
etc. Earl Russell admits that these
vessels were british built" bar insists
that they were manned CHIEFLY by
American officers and men. Mr.. Upton
denies this. and says that more than
three-tourths of the persons on the
Alabama when he left the Mersev were
British subjects, and three of them,
John Neil, John Emory aud Peter
Hughes, belonged to the Royal Naval
Reserve of Great Britain. OF the whole
crew, at the time of her capture by the
kearsage, between 50 and 80 per cent
were British subjects. and four were OF
the Reserve.-Mr. Upton also shows
that the Alabama received part Of her
armament and ammunition in British
ports, contrary to Earl Russell's as
sertion, and that all the Rebel pirates
burned American vessels without taking
them to port for condemnation, which
Earl Russell admits. With regard to
the statement that no action was taken
by the British Government to prevent
these atrocities when they were laid be-
fore it, Earl Russell explains that. had
the treaty obligations been carried Out, ,
factions for damages would have been
brought and in all probability sustained. ,
This. MIR. Upton responds, places the
then existing administration OF Great
Britain in a more Obiectional light than
its worse enemies would desire.-Earl
Russell SAYS, in reference to the excep-
ton of the pirates in British ports with
cheers after their depredations that the
''exuberant utterances of free people
must be permitted" BY the Americans
MIR. Upton answers that ii Judas, boast
ing of his treachery, had been received
by the other apostles with cheers, the
latter would probable be placed by
Chris ians in the rank of Judas.

INDIANS ENFRANCHIsED. Why are not
the Penobscot and PassamaquodJy Indians
enfranchised by the fifteenth amendment?
The fourteenth amendment declares that
''all persons born or naturalized in the
United States, and subject to the iuris die
ton thereof are citizens of the United
States and Of the State wherein they re-
side" So that there can be no doubt but
the Penobscot and Passamaquoddy branches
of that family are citizens. Being citizens,
they are made voters by the fifteenth a.
mendment. This being the case we have
no doubt that perfectly marvellous amount
of affection for the noble red man will be
immediately developed in Democratic quar-
tiers. We look with confidence to see an
Indian plank" put into the next Dem
ocratic platform, side by side with the ia
Dor reform" the soldiers and Sailors" the
Temperance" and other stereotyped
planks- Democratic politicians will make
general exodus to Oldtown. and to the
Indian reservations in Washington county,
We should not wonder if a Penobscot
wigwam were established on the plan Of
TaInmany, in which our-leading Demo-
Gratis will be the sachems. Paris, Farley,
Marcellus Emery. Pillsbury, Simpson, an

What some Men Ask.

We publish elsewhere a part of an
article on. the Governor question from
the Rockland Free Press. The Press
states what every observing man well
knows are truths. If some of our citi-
zens will not vote fora man for Gov.
unless he believes in constabulary law
others will not vote for him if he believes
in capital punishment; and others will
not if he does not so believe. Soon
some uneasy men will refuse to vote
for any one unless he is opposed to the
use of tobacco; and soon tea and coffee
will be included. Personally we should
have no objection to seeing the country
rid of ''rum and tobacco but we will
hot refuse 10 vote for man for office if
he thinks differently from Us on this
We never should have a party, if We are
all to set up our own views Oh all these
questions and require every other person
or majority of them to fall into line on
our platform.
No doubt but General Hcrsev is a
temperance man. and on this point
ought to satisfy any reasonable person,
but that he is up TO the mark required
by the third party men of last year, We
do not believe, and so therefore all the
labor of the Wing is spent for nauaht
i'll the endeavor 10 coax thi, class TO
take him as their candidate lie is no
more of temperance man than is Gov
ernor Chamberlain, and he will not suit
them any better.
Now why not take Governor Chaut-
berlain again? Can We get better man !!
We think not for the interest Of the
state. We have had some words with
the Wing, bur it was because it attacked
to us fiercely and not because we have a
particular candidate to favor and seekonl
give our own personal views. and these
are all in favor of denomination Of
Governor Chamberlain. We do not
mean to get over anxious on this ques-
ton. nor talk about "foregone conelu-
sions," for we don't believe there are
any. We don't believe however, in
the three men who tried to make the
Universalist State Convention last year
a political institution, and hope neither
of them will be nominated for Governor
this year.

\ Duel N CALIFoRNI>. At Los An
gelos. Cal. on the 23ult.. a duel was
fought between one J. Il. Wilson. son
of State Senator. and Capt. T.. f. Bean.
a journalist, and late OF the Confederate
service. The weapons used were ri iles.
and the distance thirty PAGES. They
were placed back to back, with instruc-
tons to wheel and fire at the word AT
the first signal Wilson's rifle missed fire,
Bean. who had been less prompt, refused
the advantage, and q second trial was
had. At the word, both rifles were
discharged. Wilson was wounded in
the arm slightly: Bean was unframed.
The quarrel was then amicably adjusted.
1t grew out Of political discussion.
Bean was resident OF this city and
was employed on the Bangor Democrat
during the first part oithe war, but was
SO intensely Democratic that he proved
his faith by leaving his home here, to go
South. where he Joined the rebel army
He fought through the war in the rebel
ranks, coming out with the same success
chat he met in the affair above stated.

fore the law, and therefore will not crop
out in every election, in any party plat
form, and in every judicial decision. He
has played an important part in our par
ty politics for the last thirty wears. and
every person must feel to'brcatbe freezer

what next. What will make up the
wool and warp ofpolitical platforms for
the next decade. What one great in
terest will divide men in the next presi-
dental race! Or TO come nearer, what
will men quarrel about politically in
our state during the next campaign?
Temperance will be one bone of conten-
tion.it is true. but this is local question
not national one, and never can be.
Some people may think otherwise, but
they will see the fuiiitv of all such at
| iempts when they commence the work
and find out how impractical ii is. But
there are questions which take hold OF
the interests o!all the people, and which

cuss. The most important of these.i- that
of tariff. We.to-day. have dear coffee.

every thing else. Soon every citizen will
/ ask the Govern nent TO '.lct him alone,

he may sell whatever he may
have to sell in the best market, and pur-
chase whatever he may have TO purchase
In the best market also. This point will
not be reached at once. but it will come
by and by. This i one of the questions
I that will have 10 be discussed and acted
upon whether we will or no.
