The citizens of Galveston, by resolu-

ignore the existence of the order, and
will conduct themselves during regis

FROM SAN SABA.-A friend writing
under date of August Is, says every
thing is quiet on that frontier, there
having been no Indian depredations
for upwards of six weeks, and as a
consequence the citizens are becoming
very careless with their stock. No
rain has visited that section since the
22d Of May.

A terrible hail storm passed over
Albion, Wis.,, on the 31st. Hail
stones fell two and half inches in
diameter. The ground in places
was sufficiently covered to run a
sleigh. The corn and tobacco crops
in that vicinity are ruined. The
damage is estimated at $3.50, 1000.

Democratic Clubs.

As a means of thorough organiza-

can be more efficient than the organi-

neighborhood. We suggest this course
to our friends, with the hint that such
clubs constitute themselves clubs of
readers of the DEMOCRATIC STATESMAN.

A PitifuI Condition

1t is sad thing to pass through lite only halt alive.
Yet there are thousands whose habiua condition is

PORTLAND.

In is said that this "new departure" had the
approval of Judge Chase and the Tammany
leaders before it was announced by Vallan-
diglam, and that this gentleman was anonr-
ed the prophet for its PRONUNCIATION on the
ground that his case is SO hopeless that il
it did not help, it could by no manner oil
means injure him.
j. is eminently fitting that this new an
nouncement should be made by men VINO
have lately turned their backs upon every acl
OF their past history that has made them con-
spicuous, and by a ring of politicians that
know no rule of action but COZ ruption and
plumber.
The prophet of the new dispensation has
learned ere this that the whole thing is re.
galded as fraud, and that the country will ap'
ply the old story of the green looking Yer
monter who appeared at the Office of chemis
with large bundle in yellow bandana, ant
opening it, exclaimed: "There, doctor, lool

cy offers under the name of the "new depart

The ARGUS wilfully ignores the little
ruth that may come to it through the Asso-
GATED Press dispatches. This may be wise,
ior like little learning, little trnth may be
worse than none, as it may cause it to see a

Argus OF the person who kindly furnished the
leader in Saturdays issue to astonish its pat

much virtuous indignation on the wickedness
of Brigham Yodng and his "twin relic of bar
barism," for it rarely rebukes wickedness. 1t

President, and its ignorance led it to declare
that the son of Brigham Young had been ap-
pointed to cadetship by the President while
the "sons of worthy and patriotic men were
refused" Now if the editor of the Argns had
read any newspaper or even its own dis
patches, it would never have deliberately made
that statement-nOt if it intends to be truth

thing, is Democrat, appointed Brigham's

SALE OF THE GLEN HoUsE.-Tbis we'll
known mountain hotel, situated at the foot OF
MT. Washington carriage road, was sold at
auction Friday for sixty-ons thousand dollars.
to Stephen FL. Cummings and others of Port.
iand. Inns transaction was a resale on ac-
count OF Mr.. Grafton, who bought the Glen
House at similar sale in Gorham, N. H., a
lew weeks since, for ninety thousand dollars.
1t has been currently stated in New b amp
shire that this gentleman-who was creditor
to the amount of some nine thousand dollars of
the late firm of J. M. Thompson & Co., pro-
prietors of the Glen aforementioned on his
purchase upon some association of parties
with him, but the conditions of the purchase
seem not to have been fulfilled, and the resale
f0r MS account, as appears by legal notice.
Inc price at the sale Friday is very far under
the appraisal made, according to law, at the
time OF the death of Mr.. Thompson, year and
nall ago. The property included in the sale
was the hotel and furniture, stables, mill and
land adjoining, which land was in all two miles
IN extent, on the Pinkham Notch road, by
width OF half mile, more or less; but not in
cluding the horses and carriages, or anything
pertaining thereto.
This purchase of the Glen House, it is un-
uerstood, secures the running OF the house the
same as heretofore. Mr.. Cummings. who was
the son-in-law of Mr.. Thompson, has been as
ISOLATED as partner in the management since
tne great enlargement of the hotel, and when
