MED that General Blair had either
expressed OF entertained such senti-

In view Of General Blair's many
d~enunciatlOns of these Ubiquitous

as an absurdity to undertake to
prove our assertion. Our silence
has been construed into an ad-
mission Of error, and from day to
day the A0Glanche asks US to show
when and where senator BlaiT ex-
pressed the opinion that the Con-

startling facts In regard to Radical
rule in that State. Its financial is as

The bonded debt at the beginning Of

reached the enormous sum Of SIC, 000,-

THE grand jury system is one of
the favOrite institutions Of the Ameri-
can people; but every sweet has its
bitter, every pleasure its bane, and
the grand jury system, with all its
blessings, is accompanied by many
serious objections. In these days,
when personal spleen and malice
run to such fearful lengths, men are
frequently charged with crime by ir-
responsible and mendaciOus persons,
sometimes for the purpose of levying
blackmail, and sometimes through a
desire to blast the reputation or fortune
Of the party selected and accused.
II, after investigation, the charge is
deemed sufficiently well founded
to warrant a trial before a petit iu-
~, the fair lame Of the party so ac-
cused receives a stab from which it
may never recover. Hence the ne
cessity that exists for having the one
sided grand jury system abolished or
modified, 30 as to give the
accused an early opportunity to
establish his innocence. In
almost every State, some prom
inent citizen can be found whose
character has been clouded by the ac-
cusatiOn Of some perjured villain be-
fore a grand jury. We are lead to
these remarks by reading a few days
since the account of an indictment
against T. G. Burtwell, a prominent
citizen OF DOylestOwn, Pennsylvania,
for forgery, when the published
facts show that there was not a parti.
Gle of evidence 10 sustain the charge;
yet Mr.. BurtWell has given his enc
mics a preteXt for calling him a for
ger, and were he to emegrate to a
new country, the charge, false and in
as 1t was proved to be, would
follow him, and the first time he
offended some rascal detected IN trying
TO swindle him, be would be accused of
having been indicted for forgery, and
beinei in a strange land would be ruin
cd by the charge. We think we hazard
nothing in saying that in many re-
spects the grand jury system is in
direct antagonism TO Justice, for the
reason that the accused is arraigned
a tribunal in which he has no
voice; that he cannot impeach the
testimony offered against him, nor
prove his ~innOcence, aud because
i permits cowardly miscreants to
their spite upon individuals in
secret. Under the present system any
may be held up to the communi-
" a. guilty ola crime against the law
without the slightest particle of evil
dence to make good he charge. In
fact the grand jury room is little bet-
ter than an inquisitoriaI chamber
often the reputation Of hieb.
minded men are passed upon and COW
cred with the slime Of suspicion. The
hardship Of the present secret system
les in the fact that only the
prosecutor is heard. We're it other
tWo-thirds Of the cases that are
low sent before the Courts for
rial by a petit jury would be termi
lated IN the grand jury room, the ae-
used being thereby saved from scan
lal and heavy expense, while the
ime Of the courts w0uldnOt be squan-
lered in hearing hiyolous charges
md awaiting verdicts Of acquittal.

A Scientific S upsrsiidon attacked

The recent experiments OfDr. Joule
supported by the testimony Of Sir w,
Fairbairn and Mr.. Spence, says the
Pail Mall Gazette, will 90 long way
toward dispelhng the popular fallacy
that iron and steel become brittle at q
low temperature. 1t is true that
accidents from fractured tires have
Of late been very frequent, and
that the weather has been excep-
tiOnally cold, bat there is nothing TO
pOve that these two facts have any
connection with each other; on the
contrary, the experiments Of DR..
julie lead to the conclusion that If
there be any difference between the
elasticity of cold and hot metals, it is
rather in favor of the former. In fact,
says DR.. JOule, " frost does not make
iron least on wrought or steel brittle.
and accidents arise from the neglect of
railway companies to submit wheels,
aXles, and all other parts of their roll
ing stock to a practical and sufficient
test before using them"
Mr.. Spence's observations led to the
same result. He subjected some iron
bars to a trial of strength at sixty de
greess and also at zero, and found that
the reduction Of temperature, eeteris
pQTI6t@, Increases the power OF resis.
lance In cast iron. Sir w. Fairbairn
has given a good deal of attention to
the subject, and is quite satisfied that
change Of temperature has little or no
effect upon the strength of wrought
iron. Sir William believes that the
danger Of broken tires arises from the
practice of beating them to dull RED
heat and shrinking them on the rim of
the wheels, instead Of turning the rim
az the wheel and the inside Of
the tfret standard gauge, accurately
calculated 70 give the required amount
Of tahtness with larger msfgln Of
strength. " Here" remarks our con-
Temporary Natars, - Is another pOten-
tial triumph for more scientific accu
racy and more hope for travellers"
The latter inference we feel some hes
itation I'M drawing. Past experience
has shown that railway companies
are more Influenced by the convic-
tons Of jurymen than BY those Of men
of science.

So unpopular have the Democratic leaders
become with the people that when they organ
ze IN earnest, the first thing they do is to nom
mate Republican. The Androscoggin Coun-
ty Democracy the other day nominated A. T.
DensOn Esq. for Senator, but Mr.. Deuisou
who has always been and is Republican
makes haste to repudiate the little scheme, and
sends us the following for publication:
10 the Editors Of the Lewiston Journal:-
inotice by report in your columns of the
proceedings of the Androscoggin democratic
county convention, held at Auburn on
Wednesday, that was put in nomination as
one of their candidates for Senator. 1 have to
say that this was done without my CONSENT
As am no politician, it would be, perhaps,
presumptuous on my part to say that this was
Unfair, although it may be part of the demo-
cratic creed to ''tax without representation. !"
However much ! may feel gralifed by this
mark of the confidence and esteem Of the gen.
tlemen comprising the convention (tor do not
Call myself democrat), L shall feel obliged to
positively decline for reasons obvious to my
friends, and also for private ones which a gem
erous public would not ask me to assign. Be-
lieying that sound principles will surely pre-
the Republican Party can be relied upon to
carry out such principles, 1 remain low as
heretofore a Republican. A. I. DENIsON.

The yery last man that should claim the
votes of laboripg men is Mr.. Charles P. Kim
ball. In his famous interview with "Percle,"
he represents that his men are not paid SO
we'll now in proportion to the prices OF the
necessaries of life as they were before the
war, yet during that time Mr.. Kimball has
become rich from the results of their labor.
II he is the real champion of labor reform,
after deducting his own daily wages and
eight or ten per cent on his capital. he would
divide the balance among his workmen per
capita. When that gentleman "sits in his
glass-partitioned, photographed, elegantly
furnished Office, surrounded by crowd of
waiting men" divides the profits of his lucra-
tive business with hs'fellow workmen( p in
stead of declaring, as he does, that the part
of the net proceeds he allows his men as pay
does not support them as comfortably as in
| 1861, he will have just reason to appeal to
| the people of Maine as workingmen's candi
| date rather than non-departing Democrat
| Until that time Mr.. Kimball is by his own
words and acts, the last man in Maine to
boastingly proclaim himself the labor cham
pion. Mr.. Kimball will never be famous as a
logician if from PREMISES like these he makes
the deduction that follows:
1st: l, c. p. KimbaIl have become COM
paratiYely wealthy since 1860:
End: My employ ees have been growing
poorer since 1860:
Therefore &c. P. Kimball, am the friend
of the laboring man and ought to have his
votes.
If Mr., Kimball had been satisfied to run al
simple anti-new-departure Democrat as hi
is, he would not stand convicted by his owl
| words and acts.

estate in Portland, Notwithstanding the asser-
&c of croakers, has maintained value
equivalent to that of every other article that
neonle deal in; that there is and has been for
the last year steady demand for houses and
lots of certain class and favorably located /;
and the entry books in the Registry of Deeds
show that the number OF real estate transfers
in Portland for the year ending July 1, 1871,
was little in advance of the corresponding
time in 1870 and 1869.
This correction of Mr.. Jenness's misstate
ments is made upon the authority of the rec
ords. If Mr.. j. will visit Portland he will fine
that ninety per cent of the stores and dwell
ings in Portland are tenanted. Now il MI
Mr.. Jenness represents the spirit OF the mon
