The following letter is copied from the Bid
deford Union and Journal of yesterday:
TO j. E. Butler, Esq, editor Of the Union and

The Union and Journal is professedly Re

general course, and not assuming to speak fO
others, we desire to say tor ourselves that you
recent illusions to the Represen tative in Con
gress from tins district do not express our sen
timents respecting that gentleman, and as fal
as we know, are exceedingly distastefal TO a
vstV large majority Of the Republican party il
this county.
we Deiieye that our Representative has
faithfully carried out the principles OF the Re
publican party-that be bas been attentive to
his dules and mindful of the wishes OF his
constituents, aud in common with our party
associst tes, we feel a just pride in the knowl-
edge that be has achieved position of enlarg
ed influence and usefulness; and that his name
Is the synonym of honor and integrity.
Duty to ourselves and him seems to require
that no erroneous statement or impression
concerning the estimation in which he is held
by the Republicans OF York County should be
* allowed to remain uncOD tradicted.
Whether or not he shall longer represent us
IN congress is matter for tue Republicans in
the 1st Congressional district to decide, and we
have only to say that should the choice again
IslI upon him, we know Of nothing in his his

ATTENTION
ON THE TRICK J
Bills Collected

No wonder that the face OF the dyfpeptic has a
dragged worn, hopeless expression that is pttul to
see. No wonder that the miserable martyr to H.
digestion is tretful, irritable. and unsocial. Who.
ever can bear the pangs of this tormenting COM
plant cheerfully, and with an unruf1ed temper is
little short Of saint But why should human for
titude continue to be thus severely tried when an
absolute specific Tor toe disease is always at hand
Everywhere within the limits of civilization in this
hemisphere Hosietter's Stomach Bitters is OBJ
taDable. and the history of the first case of
dyspepsia in which i, has been administered
in vain, has yet to be written. The sick
ness at the stomach. the sense of weakness
and stupor, the feeling Of emptiness and holowness
before eating, and OF oppr.s ssl0n afterwards, the
fluttering OF the pulse, the intense nervous iIri
ton, the morbii indsp0sition exerton, the wea-
riness of life and indifference to all its pleasures,
which are among the symptoms OF the disease in its
chronic form are rapidly ameliorated by the tonic
operation OF this palatabe vegetable restorative,
which seems to renovate and quicken all the dor
mant forces of the system, and rouse the mind from
the apathy and gloon inseparable rom deIange-
ment of the digestive and secretive functions. In
ordinary cases few weeks sufices to complete the
cure, but when the disease is complicated, as il
often is with torpiditv the liver severe constipa-
ton impurity OF the blood and sluggish circula-
ton, longer time may be required Persevere,
however, and the result Is certain. An encouraging
Improvement will be perceptible from day to day,
and the cOnvalescent, knowing and feeling that he
or she is on the high road to health, will await the
happy issue with comparative patience. apis

TRAVELLING BY THE ROADS SLOW AND DAN

AND TWO LADY PASSENGERS IN GREAT

TRAVELLING BY THE ROADS SLOW AND DAN
AND TWO LADY PASSENGERS IN GREAT
/ DANGER.
The stage eoactfor Portland via Fryeburg
left Conway as usual Tuesday morning, but
was obliged to take at intervals a circuitous
route in order to avoid impossible bridges and
dangerous water courses. The travelling was
40 bad that the stage did not reach Brownfield
until late in the evening, and there passengers
were accommodated for the night The jour
ney was renewed early Wednesday morning
and the depot at Gorham village was not
reached until o'clock Thursday evening"
Mr.. George R. Kimball, who has been on this
route for IS years, says that he has never ex-
perienced such diffic culties
At Hiram Bridge the water had swollen to
such an extent that it completely filled the
travelled road for quite distance. At a
point this side of the bridge the leading span
O. horses were taken up by the current,
and borne ont into the stream; fortunately
the cross bar which is attached to the pole of
the stage foated and became unlocked. The
detached horses swan out some distance, and
finally landed on the opposite side OF the river.
The ladeis who were inside of the coach,
were obliged to seek refuge and safety by stand
ing up on the seats of the stage, and for a
while the situation of affairs was precacious
but in due time new horses we're secured and
the slow Journey renewed.
A gentleman writing from West Buxton,
April 21st, 1870, says The water here in the Sa-
CO river is up to high water mark and is
inches higher than the great freshet in 1S43
and is still rising. the water is feet deep in
the road at the Causewsy near Hiram bridge
but has not done any damage thus far in Bald
win but we bear that the roads are somewhat
washed out in Hiram, and Ten Mile brook and
Shepard river have over-fowed the road in
Brownfield, SO as to stop the U. s. Mail
The work on the P. & o. r. r. is progress
ing finely and the freshet has not done any
damage to the railroad on this, the 3rd Dvs-

SOLDIERS BoUNTIEs.-The question as what
class of soldiers are entitled to the 800 bounty
under the recent decision of the Uni ed States
Supreme Court, is at present eliclting much
interest throughout the country. The follow
ing points have been submitted to the Second
Comptroller for his Observation-Disclosures the act
Of July ~, 1861, soldiers who were honorably
served TWO years we've paid the 800 bounty
Why y,under the recent decision Of the Supreme
Court are not soldiers who were not enlisted
PRIOR TO that act, and under the Presidents 8
Proclamation of May g. 1861, entitled to S1OO
bounty, whether they served two years or not
and whether such service was as an enlisted
man OF otherwise? The contract with the
United States was that they should receive
800 bounty when honorably discharged. Is
hot promotion an honorable discharge? The
Comptroller answers the above questions as
follows: The decision of this Office was against
payment of bounty even in the cases arising
under the act July %, 1861, on the ground that
when one party releases the other from the
obligations of contract for the benefit of the
latter, there is the end of the agreement, for it
would be 0ne-sided law that would hold one
and discharge the other But as many paw
ments had been made before the subject was
brought to the notice Of the Treasury Depart
ment the practice was not disturbed. In the
now presented the decision was made in limine.
and pay ment Of bounty to officers promoted
from the ranks, the Government Welding the
service 1t bad a right to demand under their
contract of enlistment, for the benefit of the
ofRcer, was held to be inequtable and illegal
and 1t is not sanctioned by the opinion of the
Supreme Court.

The Compiese Reste-asi"n OF the OnieA
axaiu Deferred.

No one who has watched the progress OF
the Georgia bill in The Senate can avoid the
reflection that after so protracted and exhaus-
tive discussion as occurred in that BODY the
conclusion it reached was singularly unsatis-
factory. After weeks of solid oratory the
Senators give up the scheme Of reconstr uct-
ing the State as bad job and remanded il to
the military authorities, providing that the
whole work shall be begun de nOvo next NO
vember. The House has not assented TO thls
action yet, the whole matter having been re-
ferred to the Reconstruction Commlttee'
which seems In no hurry to consider the SUD-
ject. We Judge, however, that when the
House comes to act it will concur Win 'n'
Senate, and the dream of a Union once nioie
restored TO complete integrity VIII no' "e ie''-
lied this year.
Tho nstural impulse is to regret this result.
A nor;od of five years from the close of the
war ought to have removed all traces of the
political dsorganzation lett by it. But, after
all, has not the Senate decided upon the wis
est course? 1t would be pleasant thing for
the Forty-first Congress to be able to boast
that it had completed the work OF reconstruc-
tion, and that the thirty. seven States were
once more restored to all their rights. But, if
we may judge from the past, the Union would
be merely formal one, and not at all one in
spirit. Georgia has shown in every possible
way that she is untitled to take her place be
side the other States in the Union. One is at
loss to decide which party has, on the whole,
most deserved censure, for it appears to be a
patent fact that not all the Radicals Of that
State hare clean hands aud pure hearts. I'm
der these circumstances the alternative was
presented OF perpetuating the Bullock gov
ernmen: by an act OF doubtful legality, or, by
preserving the Bingham amendment, laying
the foundation for renewed rebel ascendancy
Senators could not bring themselves to be
iave that either Of these courses was necfs
sary, and cut the Gordian knot by postponing
reconstruction another year. When that year
has elapsed let us hope that Georgia will be
better prepared for association with ber sister
States than at present.

INFALLIBLE LOGIC" A correspondent

INFALLIBLE LOGIC" A correspondent
treats of the dogma of Papal infallibility thus:
The Pope is infallible,
HOnOrius was Pope;
Ergo: Honorius was infallible.
But-No Catholic denies the infallibility of
General Councils.
Three General Councils condemned AID an
athematized Horatius as heretic;
Ergo: No Catholic can deny that Honorius

Thus we have an infallible heretic which is
carrying the doctrine of infallibility farther
than its advocates intend.
