POLITICALLY,

Boston may be said to be quite in a
hubbub. A sort of confused bewilder-
ment seems to have settled over the senses
of many, and they are scarcely able to tell
where they are or what they want But
ler stock is daily rising, and anxious eyes
and expectant hearts are looking away
towards Worcester and the 9th OF Sep
TENDER. Amidst all this agitation the
Democracy are quiet, firm and united, but
like a shillfnl General, silently preparing
the way and watching the opportunity for
advance to victory PERCIE.

| The item published among our State news in
| yesterdays Daily, taken from the Belfast Jour
ual, in relation 10 the Sherman Steel Works, is
erroneous in nearly all its statements. \ gem
teman in this city, who owns several shares in
the stock Of the company, assures rs that the
| works are not to be sold. and there is no pros
pect of Il loss of fifty per cent. on the cost. The
process has not proved TO be worthless; on The
contrary, under this invention, properly con-
Quoted, good steel can be made as at any
mandatory of steel. The factory at BucIsport
will soon be opened for manufacturing pur-
poses. The only correct statement contained in
the item of the Belfast journal is that Sherman
is living like prince in London. He has an
undoubted right TO do The money comes
from the pockets of English capitalists, the
fruits of his brain labor, but not cent has he
ever received from the stockholders of the
Bucksport Steel Works, and he has never acted
dishonesty towards the company. krnnehec
Journal
Our information in regard to the sale
was derived from well informed citizen
of Bucksport, who has always been friend
to the enterprise and regrets its failure
We have no doubt that he had good
grounds for his belief. The opinion of II
stakeholder in Augusta may not be more
reliable than that of a citizen of Buck sport,
in daily contact with owners of a large ma
,iority Of the stock. We have never i'm
puted dishonesty 10 Mr.. Sherman. If he
made a good haul from the pockets of
English capitalists we are certainly glad Of
it, But we would like an answer from the
Augusta stakeholder to one query, and it
is this: If the steel is good, and the cost
of manufacture exceedingly low, why is
the Bucksport factor y closed?

TESTIMONIAL TO CAPTAIN GEORGE
Characterization of q Gold Watch and
Chain.-Yesterday evening at four o'clock,
quite number of business men, connected
with the Western trade, including mer-
chants, clerks and brokers, assembled at
the Commercial Pavilion, on the the levee,
at the head of Lafayette street, for the pur-
pose of presenting a testimonial to Captain
George Crosby, late wharfnger of the First
District.
Among the gentlemen present, we noticed
Mr.. C. w. Washburn, of Washburn & Sears;
Julius WARREN, of S. FL. Kennedy q Co.; Mr..
Glover, of Glover & Odendahl; III. c. Law
Ter; D. Montgomery, of j. c. Murphy & Co.;
Charles H. Hick, Captain j. H. Hanna, P.
j. Gull Alexander Portland and H. Bon
zano. Administrator of Assessments.
The testimonial was a superb gold watch
and chain, and was presented by Mr.. Z. w
Washburn in neat speech, in which he
spoke of the high estimation in which Cap
| tain Crosby was held by the business men
| who received and shipped freight on the
| levee; of the impartial manner in which the
duties of the position had been performed,
| and the general satisfaction the retiring OIL
| Ger had given.
Captain Crosby received the magnificent
| gift with Incoming grace and dignity, and
made brief speech in which he stated that
| it had always been his aim to mete out I'M
| partial Justice between the various conflict
| ing interests arising in the line of his duty
| He was pleased to know that his official con-
duet had met the approval of the business
community, and in conclusion, said he ac-
septed the gift with pleasure.
| After the presentation the party partook
of some liquid refreshments in the rear OF
the Pavilion, contained in score or SO OF
bottles, which, when opened, made noise
| like an explosion from the muzzle OF
pistol. The contents of these bottles came
out with kissing sound and frothed over
the tops of the glasses as if boiling hot
| yet, notwithstanding this, the company
partook of the beverage with pleased ex-
preston, showing that the drink was not
| unpleasant
The watch and chain cost three hundred
and fifty dollars, and was made in Geneva.
The watch was purchased of Lilienthal, on
Canal street, and the chain of A. b. Girls
| void.
Inside the case is engraved, in German
text, the words: "From the Western busi-
ness men of New Orleans to George Crosby
| Eharfinger. September l., 1871"
The numerous friends Of Captain Crosby
will be glad to know that since his resigna-
ton of the post of wharfnger he has been
appointed, by the City Council, superin-
tendent of wharfingers. He will, therefore,
not be separated from his business asso-
ciates, but will keephis headquarters at the
Commercial Pavilion, as heretofore.
1t was the testimony of the gentlemen
present ON this occasion, that Captain
Crosby is the first wharfnger, for twenty
years, who has given SO much satisfaction

WENT Too FAR.--It is related of a fire.
mony, that after INDUCING in festive tea
party at Carrollton, he returned to town on
a late car, both eyes in deep mourning-at
least they were of little use to the owner.
Arriving at Canal street, he felt safe IN
taking the first down car that passed by,
intending to go home, not very far from
Bayou Bridge. Unfor ;unately, he stepped
into car for the Barracks, and no sooner
in than he found relief in sleep, feeling
safe. for the driver would wake HIM on
reaching the end of his route. VI course
the car went on to Poland street, where our
friend was asked if he intended stopping or
going on. With confused mind he looked
about him and discovered that he had not
reached zEsplanade street, so he said he
would go on. Changing cars, he was soon
at the Barracks, and again punched by
surly driver, who invited him to arise and
much as a car ticket, the last car gone, he
was ina regular fix. There was no alterna-
tive but to walk, rot less than three miles,
to his home near Bayou Bridge. After
thinking over the situation, he concluded
to raise an alarm of fire, thus bringing
cabs, machines and people, but he couldn't
find an alarm box. With an aching head
and weak knees he started, reaching home
Just in time to see the first car starting
out for days work. Since that time our
victim refrains from visiting either Carroll
ton or the Barracks.

When the proposition was made to present
him testimonial, the question among his
friends was not how much each one should
give, but how lille, SO that all, or nearly
all, should have an opportunity to con-
tribute portion. We are assured that a
present ten times as costly might have been
procured if the sums offered had been ac-
cepted. The occasion was characterized by
great good feeling, and Captain Crosby may
well remember it as one of the pleasant
events of his useful and honorable career.

into the fire alarm office, singing and shock
ing things generally. Several insulated
wires were burned out, not leaving speck
of ash behind, and nearly flooring John, the

Others IN the room were slightly stunned,
but being nimble left the apartment before
