SOME sharp fellows in New York recently
undertook to get up"a corner" on prunes.
They bought up all there was in bond in New
York, and proposed to hold for rise. The
prunes became wormy, and the holders applied
to the Secretary of the Treasury to have the
duties united, on the ground that the goods
had deteriorated through casualty. The Sec
rotary like sensible man, informed them
that perishable goods which are dutiable are
always stored at the owners risk. The only
way in which the payment Of the duties could
be avoided was by the expectation ct the
prunes in bond, and we notice In the mani
fest of exports from New York for the week
ending July 4lh an item of 2192 casks of
prunes, in all 1908, 1857 lbs., valued at 81, ex-
ported to British North America. They ar
rived safely at st. John N. B. where they will
be used in the distilation of brandy.

The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser says the
Coreans, whom Commodore Rodgers so
soundly logged, appear to have had good
deal of the spirit of Bill Nye in them. They
were very sweet at first, and expressed them
selves delighted thai the surveying party
ashore was peaceful one; hoped we were
well, &C., &C., yet the first chance they got
they went for us; but happily, Commodore
Rodgers was "Heathen Chinee" too many

1t will be seen that Messrs. Cleaves and
Haskell did not run ahead of their ticket at
all, receiving less votes than Roberts and
SWEET, but that Mr.. Kimball ran decidedly be-
hind. Roberts and SWEET did not owe their
large vote to any pledges to favor any Repub-
hcan candidates, we suppose? The notion is
An idle one. The disaffected Republicans, in
stead of voting for Democratic candidates
nominated two Independent candidates of
their own and voted for them, thus permit
ting the election Of the two most popular
Democratic candidates by Democratic votes.
1t will be perceived that Mr.. Kimball ran
seyenty-one votes behind Mr.. Davis, the 9TH
er defeated Democratic candidate; in other
words, seventy-one votes behind the unsuc-
cessful part of the Democratic ticket.
These are facts and it is impossible to break
their force. They show that Mr.. Kimball. so
far from being "the most popular man in
Maine" or popular man at all among his
party associates here, is the most unpopular
man that has for some years been nominated
for any Office. 1t is well understood here in
Portland, though it may not be elsewhere,
that bis only personal enemies are members
OF h's own party and that it was with great
difficulty that Portland Democrats were
brought to support him for the nomination at
Augusta. They hung back till the last mo-
ment, and only gave their reluctant consent
In Difference to the wishes of others. We do
not think Mr.. Kimball deserves this local un-
popularity, which is largely due, as we under
stand, to the Jealousy of some of th younger
members OF the party, but there is not the
slightest doubt that it exists. Let the Demo-
cratic papers publish the above figures and
permit their readers to draw their own infer
ences.

Our attention has been called to state.
ment published in the Maine Standard in re.
ply to communication published in the
PRESS by Democrat. Our Democratic cor.
respondents points will be remembered by
all our readers. He showed from the vote oil
last fall, when Mr.. Kimball was candidate
for representative to the Legislature, that ''the
laboring mans candidate" can hardly be "the
most popular man in Maine," as the gentle
Percie has been pleased to name him. "Dem-
ocrat" showed that Mr.. Kimball ran behind
his ticket, not only last fall, but on two previ-
Gus occasions when he was a candidate for
Senator from Cumberland County. Of these
incontrovertible truths no contradiction was
published here, where its falacy would at
once be detected. But some OF AIR. Kimbalps
friends have put an explanation into the
mouth of the STANDARD for the benefit Of
people who are unacqnainted with the facts
Here is the manner in which country readers
are to be induced to believe that Mr.. Kimbal
is more popular man than Messrs. Haskell
and Cleaves, though the two latter were elect

was defeated for the same office.
Was it not patent to all well informed peo-
pie, that Cleaves g. Haskell were elected as
much by Republican votes as by Democratic
votes? They were not only the candidates of
the Democratic party but also of the dis
affected or Chamberlain Republicans. On
condition that they should pledge themselves
to vote for Chamberlain for Senator in the
Legislature last winter land they kept their
pledges) they were promised that part OF the
Republican vote, which they obtained, thus
sending them ahead of their regular ticket
aud into the House of Representatives. Mr.,
Kimball on the other hand with Mr.. Davis re-
fused to 60 pledged to do anything but act
with the democratic party, vote for its regu-
lar candidates and abide by its expressed
principles, and obtained, therefore, merely the
party vote. This matter was we'll understood
at the time, and the attempt of one signing
himself "Democrat" to cheat intelligent peo-
pie will be looked upon with The contempt it
deserves by those who feel an interest in
Democratic success.
This really will not do. We are sorry for
MIR. Kimball, who is a generous-hearted gem
tleman of considerable ability, but the Stan
dard's explanation is entirely inadmissible

DECLINES. = The Cincinnati En-
guirer publishes the following letter
from Hon. w. S. Groesbeck declining
the use of his name as candidate for
the. Office of Governor before the COM
ing Democratic State Conventions:
CINCINNATI, April %.
To the Editor of the Enquirer:
p have been so often referred to as
probable candidate for the nomination
for Governor of Ohio, before our Con-
vention of June next, that it has be-
come proper to correct this misappre-
hension without further delay, and by
public statement.
Twill not accept nomination or
be acandidateif for any Office at the ap-
preaching election. While this is so,
may be allowed to say that / most
earnestly desire thorough change in
the administration of our political in
terests. The necessity for change
was never more urgent.
Hoping it is at hand and for the
success of the Democratic party, and
with the warmest thanks to ali who
have thought me worthy of SO high a
candidacy, l am, very respectfully,

We have no disposition to treat lily

icier of passing events-social and po-
litical-we ''must tale here unfold 2
On the 18th of April, A. d. 1871,
one Michael McTighe, accompanied
by his brother, appeared in Garfield,
county of Mahoning, as peddler OF
clothes from Buffalo, y. \.
The said Michael McTighe sold his
horse to some party, and was then in
vited to go on fishing excursion in
to Ellsworth township, several miles
distant from Garfield. The invitation
was accepted, and he, County Auditor
Wilcox, Henry Meeker and III. Platt,
all of Garfield, formed the party.
How the fishing progressed, we can
not say. Probably it is immaterial.
1t is sufficient to know that the party
was formed and left Garfield, and
pick them up again at the place and
hour where tragedy was enacted
AT about twelve o'clock on the
night of the above date, we find the
enumerated party at the house of
Matthias Glass, in Berlin township,
demanding adm issioD, which be-
ing refused by Mr.. Glass, man about
sixty years of age, and his wife, aged
about thirty. Threats were made OF
forcing admission, by the party, and
Glass made counter threats that he
would shoot the first man of the par
ty who entered, and seized his rife
for the purpose. The party outside
put their threat into execution, end
bursted open the door, and simu1ta-
neousIy Glass pulled the trigger Of
his gun and one of the party, McTighe,
fell back into the yard, the ball from
the gun having passed thu ough his
bowels. The rest of the party, it
seems, then rushed into the house, and
scuffie ensued, during which Glass
received several severe but not dan
gerous stabs of knife.
Eventually, McTighe was placed in
buggy, and the party started toward
Garfield. But, ere long. McTighe
seems to have been abandoned, and
the balance of the party pushed on in
to Garfield, where they notified the
wounded mans brother of the eondi-
ton of affairs, who at once went in
search of the helpless brother and had
him removed to Garfield, where he
died about two o'clock on the follow
ing afternoon.
Glass.was arrested, and after near
ing before an Ellsworth Justice of the
Peace, was discharged. 1t was from
the evidence given at the hearing, as
related TO US, that we cleaned the
above particulars.
We have heard rumors that Wilcox,
Meeker and Platt would be arrested,
but of this there is lo certainty.

The Way it was Done.

The Radicals all over the country
are jubilating over what they call ssthe
great Republican victory in the City
of Washington" How it was accom-
plished is thus related by the WASH
ington Patriot: as.-.9 5-ij g! bog IS
'For the first time in our history,
the whole power of the President and
Cabinet was openly exerted to coerce
and intimidate the public employees
into submission to their authority.
Every clerk, without exception, re-
ceived formal notice from the chief
of the bureau requiring him to report
and to register as a voter, and yester-
day the departments were all vacated
at an early hour, in order that this
command might be obeyed. Hun
dreds of men who have no color to
legal residence in Washington, and
who had regularly voted in the States,
were forced to commit moral perjury
for fear of losing their offices. 1t is
estimated that nearly 1000 votes were
furnished from this class for the Rad
ical candidates. tte
For several days rast multi
tudes OF negroes were brought to the
city from tpe nelghDorIng counties Of
Virginia and Maryland, and from the
fisheries on the Potomac, who voted
upon the registration that had been
prepared for their advent by black re-
peaters, trained by the slliliful knayes
whose former experience had made
them adopts in this infamous work.
We give telegram that reached us at
three O'Clock yesterday, as an illustra-
ton: the negroes from Alexandria
are being sent. up by every boat to
vote the Radical ticket. Get Alexan-
dria men to watch the boats, and fol-
tow negroes to the polIs.'"
In the face eff these facts, the Rad
ical rascals have the unblushing au-
dacity to prate about "honest elec-
tions" and '.the purity OF the ballot

Thus far there have been five hum
dred claims filed before the Southern
Claims Commission, amounting to 3d.
100000. The character of some of
these "loyaP" claims may be judged
from tho following from the record of
the 22d ult: Congressman Turner,
colored, testified that he was slave
at the outbreak of the war, but pur-
chesed his time from his master, and
managed the affairs of both. His
master went into the rebel army, and
Mr.. Turner continued at Selma, where
Gen. Wilson found him in 1866, pros
porous livery stable keeper, teamster
and general trader. The Union raid
ers, however, broke him up, and
hence his present claim of over seven
thousand dollars. In the case of Wad-
dy Thompson, Senator Clayton was
the principal witness. The claim is
for large quantity of corn furnished
to the army in Arkansas when forage
was very scarce and cavalry stock
pretty we'll run down by hard work
and scant raIions. The amount of the
claim is more than eighty-fve thou
sand dollars"
