One P1LLAR.-Since that sagacious and
wonderful party leader, John Slidell, left
Louisiana, the Democratic party of the
State has one strong pillar left, that is
Frank H: Hatch. There is, perhaps, no
man in the State that has a greater amount
of political sagacity than he. He is natu
rally a man of great s%hrewdness, and he
served under the sharpest and boldest
politician in America. He distinguished
himself as a thorough business man while
in the customhouse, at New Orleans, as
collector Of customs, under Buchanan's ad
ministration. His friends claim that thu
New Orleans custOmhouse was never a.

it has never been as well managed since
He is the efficient and indonitable Presi

In this town there are THREE water powers. AT
Oxford Village it is improved by the Robinson
Manufacturing Co. three wooden mills which
contain twelve sets Of machinery, manuiact-
uring $500 yards of three quarters cloth per
month; annual product $2500c0; employing
some fifty persons, who are mostly settled near
the mill in neat houses generally owned by the
occupants and nearly all have small piece OF
land which is cultivated. There is also saw
mill, which cuts the lumber used by the
Coompouy and for the town people.
Below on the same river is machine the for
manufacture OF hoe, shovel and fork handles,
which uses up all of the white ash in this and

The trustees of Phillips Academy at Exeter
make an appeal through the columns of news.
papers for aid to enable them to erect a new
academy building, to replace the one burned
last Sunday; one that will suffice for the pres.
sent need of the institution and for its pros.
pective enlargement. They say an edifce
capable of accommodating from two hundred
to two hundred and fifty scholars and from
four to six teachers would cost from forty tc
fifty thousand dollars, and this in style o.
severe simplicity, with no expense for archi
tectural ornament. 1t is obvious that to erec1
such a building from the funds of the acade
my is to cripple it,regarding its charitable agen
cy, and even its self sustaining ability, for very
many years.
The original endowment of the academy was
about $50, 600. Its funds have bee judicously
invested and cared for, yet at very little cost
They now amount to about $120. 000-a sum
considerably inferior in its purchasing power
to the original endowment. With its limited
means, by the most rigid economy in all an
preparations, except for educational uses, th.
academy has been enabled to do more for the
aid OF INDECENT and merltOrious students thar
has been done by any other school or college
In the country. 1t has RENTED its always low
tuitiOn-fee whenever it has seemed desirable,
the non-paying students being sometimes near
ly half, never less than one-fourth of the whole
number. 1t has erected from the savings O

"REMINISCENCES. "A correspondent Of the
Kenneoec Journal says the late Roswell trial
has brought up "Reminiscences in relation to a
similar ARRAY which took place in Hallowell
forty-five or fifty years since. David Morrison
shot his wife near the identical spot of the
Hoswell tragedy; perhaps two rods north, at
the corner of Union and Water streets. She
had just stepped out of her shop to attend to
some business when he fred at her, manning
one arm and putting profuse charge of pigeon
shot into her body, the gun being loaded with
that kind of ammunition. The report of the
gun was heard for long distance on Water
street. Morrison was instantly arrested and
taken into Mr.. Sager's harness shop where he
was examined before Justice and bound over
to the Supreme Court. We still recollect the
intense excitement and CONSERVATION then
manifested; SO much SO that Morrison would
have been lynched ON the spot, could MANY
persons have had their desire. The cause Of
the affair was supposed to be jealousy, as some
two or three young gentlemen used to frequent
her shop, and sit upon lounge near where she
was at work, for the purpose of social CONVEX
sation. The result of his trial was sentence
to the State Prison four years. The shot were
all extracted from Mrs. Morrison, and she
finally recovered, and soon after went to Bos-
ton and kept ladies' thread aud needlework
store for many years, and 70. aught we know
she is still living.

Toby Candor's Defence.

AUGUSTA, Dec. o. 1870.
TO the Editor of the Press:
During the many years we have have been
employed as the Maine correspondent of the
Boston Journal, we have never designedly
made erroneous statements in our communica-
tions to that sheet, and any imputation to the
contrary we most emphatically disavow.
In one OF our recent letters to the Journal
we gave as neacs items, and nothing else the
cost of the recent visit of the Governor and
Council en- suite of sixteen persons. 10 Sonth
Boston and Hal tfOId, at public insttntionS
wherein Maine has a humber OF benefciar;as
and to The Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York
in which city Maine has no such class of un.
fortunates which are to be looked after In
furnishing this news item it was stated that
we gave it as we had been Informed, which nc
more holds US respons. BILE for its CORRECTNESS:
than any paper for the news items it culls from
other papers.
But we are not disposed to shirk any respon.
sibiIity. Our item, which your contemporary
the Advertiser, in its proneness to find "skel-
eton in every closet" entities, 3" A new contri-
button to the Senatorial disc ussion," and from
which item no such inference can be drawn
and which item the Bath Times gratuitously,
in freak of sonsmbuism coustrues into a
quasi charge that Gov. Chamberlain has been
guilty OF small plfering of the State s
money!; that item we say, or preposterous
story, as the Advertiser terms it, was based
on iniormanon furnished us by a gentleman
not unkn3wh 10 the public, whose Veraeity is
unimpeachable, aud who, were he to give ms
the same information over again, we should
give full credeBce. And we should consider
that we we're right in so doing, particularly
when in answer to note of ours inquripp the
cost to the State of the late visit of the Gov.
ernor and Council, for the purposes alread Vim
dicated, State official under his sign-manual,
writes as follows:
There cds a wdrrant dra,cn for Just one
thousand dollars for e1renses an visiting institu-
tons out of the State"

DEATH OF MRS. A. X. P. WELcH.-We
learn from the Boston papers that the widow
of the late Hon. A. K. P. WEIGH of Cambridge
was found dead Friday morning in a bath tub
at her residence. A domestic went to her bed
room as usual to call Mrs. W., and finding that
her bed had no; been disturbed looked in the
bathroom and found her dead. Heart disease
is supposed to have been the cause of her sud
den death. Mrs. WEIGH had been an invalid
for several years, and had not mingled much
in society. She was the only daughter and
eldest child of James Gof, Esq, of Auburn,
Me. She had no children, but her father and
three brothers survive her. She was 40 years

A DEMOCRATIC WIFE BEATER.-The COS.
sips have been busily engaged to-day talking
over matrimonial row at prominent hotel
here last night. 1t appears that Democratic
representative, who has of late worshiped at
the shrine of Bacchus too often, took it in his
head to beat his wife, who is the daughter of a
Republican Senator. Her screams brought
guard of porters in the adjacent hall to pre-
vent a repetition of the outrage Twice during
the night these porters had to enter the room
to restore ORDER and this morning the belliger-
emit representative was notified that he must
change his quarters, as wife beating was
against the hotel regulations y Wash. Despatch.

disturbance of any magnitude at the polls has

men are sure. The contest in this district,
however, will be very close, an official vote

SCHENcK's TERM IN CoNGREss.-A WASH
ington correspondent of the Tribune makes
the following interesting statement in regard
to the term of service in Congress of our new
minister to England:
Gen. Schenck has had longer service in
Congress THAI any member OF the House, hay
ing been member OF eight different Con-
crosses, from the XXVlIith to the XXXIst,
and from the XXXVIIIth to the XLIst
making IL years OF Congressional experience.
There is not single member now serving in
the House who was member when General
Schenck took his seat in 1S43 Fernando
Wood, however. had been member of the
preceding Congress, and Senators Davis, HIM
lin, and Ramsey were then members of the
House. Davis came in with the XXVIth
Congress in 1889, and Hamlin and Ramsey
simultaneously with Gen. Schenck, Ramsey
then representing a Pennsylvania DISTRICT
Senator Howard bad been a member of the
House in the xviii, but not in the
NXVIl1th Congress. Wood, Howard, and
Dawes are, therefore, the only men in the
House or Senate. whose Congressional life be.
gan before that of Gen. Schenck. OF the
other old memters of the House, Brooks and
Julian came in with the XXXIst Congress in
1s49, Banks in 1858, BufintoD, Covode, and
Z. Z. Washburne in 1855, and Dawes and
Maynard in 1857. Gen. Schenck was Chair
man Of the Naval Committee during the
time OF the Wing supre macy in the House in
Folks administration, and when he reentered
Congress in 1868 he was made Chairman of
the Military Committee, which he held for
four years. He was made Chairman of the
Committee OF Ways and Means in 1867, in
place OF Mr.. Morreil, who had been elected to
the Senate.
