feeble for some time but had been to the
Clerks office and attended to some duties

old, and has been the City Clerk about all the
time since the organization of the Biddeford
City Government. and Town Clerk previous
to that. He had also been Clerk of Buxton
for years, before moving to Biddeford, so that
he has been Town or City Clerk almost all his
life. He was a kind hearted and estimable man

LETTER FROM PORTLAND.


THIS Dtff1CULrY AT THE STATE REFORM
School RESIGNATION OF SUPERISTESD-
ENT WOODBURY..
PORTLAND, May 81, 1870.
The resignation of Hon. Z. w. Woodbury.
as Superintendent Of the State Reform School,
which was announced to the public two days
ago, has naturally excited some attention as
the cause was not easily OWNED The Judge
has been justly very popular in this place and
has managed many departments of the estab-
lishment with almost unexampled skill, and
the differences between him and the Trustees
which furnish the occasion of his sudden res
ignation will be of interest to your readers,
and herewith give the history of the trouble.
Some two years ago, a boy who had been sent
from Lewiston forno particular crime, but for
being sort of worthless youth, escaped from
the institution, having been let out with some
others who were on their good behavior. He
had been several years there and was one OF
the best boys in the school. He made his way
home, soon got employment, being well along
in his teens, allotted the substance of his earn
ings to the support of his aged mother, and
took her from the support of charity. About
six months ago he was captured and taken
back to the school A few days ago Ex-At-
torney General Frye of Lewiston, who was
mayor of that city at the time of the boys COM
mitment, accompanied by the City Marshal
appeared before the Trustees and stated the
case of the boy, asking for his discharge
They represented his worthiness to be trusted
and the desire of the community to have him
come back and assume the charge of his
mother, and their faith in his being fit case
for clemency. Mr.. Woodbury. opposed his
discharge on the ground that it was democrat
izing on the school and declared that it was
an unwarrantable interference with his author
ity But the Trustees discharged him and
the Superintendent resigned. There is at
present no hope of reconciliation, and it is
probable tina, new Superintendent will have
TO be chosen.
There were undoubtedly other little differ
ences as to the management of some details,
but this is the substance of the whole matter
as stated TO me by those who knew. 1t is a
hard place to fill and it is an improbable bust
ness to make frequent changes in manage
ment. and it would seem that the present
trouble ought to have been in some way old

THE DONKEY DEMOCRACY,

The opposition to the Fifteenth Amend
ment by the simon pure democracy is well
illustrated in the following article from
the Columbus Crisis, staunch democrat
ic paper of the buckeye State. The
donkey democrats SO graphically described
are not confined to Ohio. but are found
straying at large in this and other States
Among them are those who have held up
the party in Maine for sale to the highest
bidder for several months past. There is no
need of calling names. But mark what
the Crisis says:
There is a vast quantity of senseless
blather about submitting to the fnalities, and
hundreds of feeble intellects favor the policy
of acquiesing in the grossest and most scanda-
l0us frauds ever perpetrated upon a people,
with a view to gain office and power. Such
advisers should be- like the debt, repudiated
They are the representatives of the donke,
race, leading the columns of lions, and thei
counsels are unworthy of esteem, because in
stigated by motives never regarded by the De
mocracy of this country In republic, sup
posed to be governed ''by the people, and TO
the people there can be no such things a
iTauuulent nHallLles. ne uHplresnlp OF tnes'
fnalities rests with the people, and if there il
not spirit and intelligence enough in them t.
resent such intpositsoas as the 18th Amend
ment or this seaadalous public debt there car
be no need OF parties, nor can there be much
excuse for the formation of factions in oppo.
sition to the imperialism that has already as.
sumed sway.
In another column of this paper we pub
lish the call for Democratic State Convention
TO be held on the first Wednesday and frs
day of June. In that convention, which
should be representative body of the De
mocracy OF Ohio, there should be fina
quietus put upon the .time-servers and policy
mongers who are anxious to recognize facts a
accomplished before anything has been es
tablished. Such counsels have enervated tn
party heretofore, and will do the like servic
again, if there is not manliness in the conven
ton 10 resent their shameful approaches
The Fifteenth amendment riH be, as 1t ough
TO be, denounced and repudiated as fraud
swindie and usurpation, such as the people @
Ohio, with a becoming sense of their ow
rights and dignity, will refuse to recognize G
any force or effect, as part Of the law of tn
land, In the form of a Federal Constitution
II should go to the world as the opinion of 4
least one-half ofthe people OF Ohio, that tn
Fifteenth Amendment is the the thimbls
rigging trick of a caucus Of thieves, who Ina
no more right to vote away the liberties
States and peoples than they had to Sc
dominions that they did not own.
