DEATH OF HON. JOHN 4. POOR

DEATH OF HON. JOHN A. POOR.
We have the unexpected intelligence of the
death of Hon. John A. Poor, at Portland yes
terday morning. The Advertiser says Mr..
Poor spent the day before his death at his Of
fee, apparently as well as usual. During the
evening, indeed, he remarked that he had been
feeling better than during the last three or
four weeks. He retired at the usual hour,
and fell asleep at once. At half past two he
awoke Mrs. Poor, complaining ofintense pain
in his left shoulder, extending down the left
arm. He had for some months noticed and
occasionally spoken of a numbness in the left
hand, indicating defective circulation, and
there is NO doubt that he died Of disease of
the heart, aggravated perhaps by rheumatism
which has long been lurking in his system.
Mrs. Poor Immediately called her daughter
and sent for DR.. Gilman, the family physician,
but before either Of them could arrive-be.
fore the young lady could descend from her
chamber to her fathers room-Mr. Poor was
dead.
Mr.. Poor was born in the year 1908, ant
was therefore sixty-three years of age at his
death. His life has been an active one. In
all public affairs he took deep interest, es.
pecially in railroad matters. At one time he
was connected with the Press of Portland
He had q vigorous brain, strong will, and
was an able champion of whatever measures
he supported.

THE Z. l.. l.. FINGER.

We had a specimen in this city in '67
and '68 of the beauties of the Z. L. l.. in
stitution. By its assistance the city gov
eminent was carried, and then the reign
of rutlianism commenced. In a year it
had run its race. Those who were caught
in the tolls were sincerely sick of their
company and glad to aid in Kidding the
city of it.
Again the finger of the p. l.. l.. has APP
peared, coming from distant cities. The
liquor dealers of New York and Boston
have had their agents and pimps abroad.
After the experience which our city has
had in the Z. l.. l.. business this is poor
soil Tor that kind of gentry. If they have
money to throw away they had better con-
tinue their operations here. If they haye
not they might as well keep it and place
it where it can be invested to better adj
vantage. We imagine there will be few
republicans who desire the reign OF peace
and good order who will be absent from
the polls on Monday next.

WAGES AND LIVING.

A correspondent of the Ellsworth American
pioneering documents, spikes the guns of
the author pretty effectualy in the following
communication:
"a large electiOneering handful is being
circulated in some parts of this county,
showing by large pictures, that we are enor-
mously taxed and that the way to avoid high
taxes is to vote for Mr.. Kimball as governor
for Maine. / have ne time now to discuss the
question of taxes, but write to call attention
to a remark make by Mr.. Kimball at Bangor
last year.-Mr. Kimball said:
l have employed large number of men for
many years, and have always paid them the
highest market rates for their labor, and say
to you frankly and truthfully that have new
er seen the time when thought the laboring
classes SO poorly paid, in proportion to the
expenses of living, as at the present time.
Let us for moment compare prices at this
time, with the past. Thirty or forty years
ago common farm laborers received in the
spring and fall, from so to 20 cents per day,
and in haying time one dollar. At that time
cotton sheetings were about Is cts. per yard.
House carpenters earned from Sl.00 to 81 so
per day. Ten years ago the farmers in this
county received for their wood $500 or so. IS
per cord labor about the same as thirty years
ago, store goods were very little lower than
they are now. At this time farm labor pays
from S1.0O to Sl.50 per day in spring and fall,
and from two to three dollars per day in hay
ing.
Look at it in another point of view. How
do people live now, in comparison with
twenty or thirty years ago? Let the eye give
the answer. Go into the house of the COM
mon people-farmers and mechanics. Their
houses are far better finished and furnished;
their tables are better spread; they have bet
ter ware, and far better food on their tables
their old furniture is cast aside TO be replaced
with new; good carpets take the place of I'M
painted floors the clothing of females is i'm
mensely richer than then. In most cases a
dress which was perfectly satisfactory thirty
years ago could be purchased at present prices
for less than One-fourth Of what dress, no
more satisfactory, costs now. The material
of female dress is far richer in quality than
that worn thirty years ago, and double the
amount of cloth is usually employed, besides,
the very trimmings of a dress now, would
more than buy dress such as was worn then.
Look at the harnesses and carriages used
now rs compared with those used thirty or
forty years ago. Be it remembered too, that
men do not get in debt as much as they did in
those days.
1t is said people are extravagant. Not
more than they were twenty or forty years
ago. Every discerning man must see that
people live better in all respects than they
formerly did. 1t is true those that labor are
better paid in proportion to the cost of living,
than formerly. How it may be in Portland,
where Mr.. Kimball lives, do not know, but
we all know how it is in this county, and
that Mr.. X. is wrong. M

MORE DEMOCRATIC FRUIT.

Dispatches from Washington contain
intelligence that the President is about to
declare national law in several counties
of South Carolina. The spirit of the re-
bellion is again raging there. Life and
property have no security against the out
RACES of the Ku-Klux The local author-
ties are in league with desperadoes or con-
troled by them.
Do our readers remember that during
the last session of Congress the republi-
cans in that body made strong and
hearty effort to bring together the two
parties in movement above or Invested
of partizan politics for the purpose OF
maintaining law and order in the South
Do they remember that it failed because
the democrats would not join in itp The
republicans went more than half way to
meet them. They entreated the opposi.
ton to only show that they disapproved
the doings of the Ku-Klux. They asked
them to give their countenance simply to
non-partizan demonstration against the
outrages perpetrated by lawless men in
the South, SO that the disorderly and re-
bellious spirit should have no sign of en-
couragement from the North. 1t was
urged that this united front of both par
ties against lawlessness would restore
peace. But the democrats folded their
hands and refused the proffer made them.
Worse than this The course of the
democratic members upon the Select Com
mittee has been such as to encourage law
lessness in the South. They find nothing
70 condemn in the hanging and shooting
OF peaceable men. They find no traces of
the hu-hlux organization. And the dem
ocratic papers all over the North ioin in
the cry that there is no truth in the report
ed outrages at the South, and that the
Ku-klux organization has no existence.
The consequence is that the spirit of re-
bellion is encouraged and grows. At last
it has become SO defiant and dangerous
that the strong arm of the government i,
required to suppress it. Troops must &c
to South Carolina. Peace must be pre-
served by military power.
Can any one say, with these facts befor
them, that the rebellion is dead ? or tina

cratic and republican parties or tina

THE STEINER CUSHNOC.

EDITOR JOURNAL will the Chief Engi-
neer, before Boosting too loudly that he car
ries the firemen in his trowsers pocket, say
what has become of the money paid by the
Kennebec Boston steamboat company for
services of steamer "Cushnoc" and men last
June, when the "Star of the East sank at
Gardiner. Only ten dollars have been ac-
counted for, and that is upon the City Treas
urer's books. The ten firemen who worked
day and night on that occasion hare nereg re-
ee'red cent They want to know if, in adj
dition to their votes which he claims, he is
really entitled to their hard earnings They
have it from Mr., Bradstreet that the entire
bill, amounting to fifty or sixty dollars, was
paid long ago and as soon as presented.

SOME PERTINENT ENQUIRIES.

One of the grave charges in the Stand
ard against Nh Blaine in regard to his
taxes, is that he allowed the assessors to
fix the amount of his property and did not
render sworn inventory.
Is this peculiar to Mr.. Blaine?
How is it with the leading democrats of
this city?
How is it with Hon. J. w. Bradbury?
How is it with Hon. r. d. Ricep
How is it with Col. G. w. Stanley?
How is it with Henry r. Smith, ESQ.,?
How is it with Col. Darius Alden?
IIsw is it with Hon. ARENAS Libbey?
How is it with b. F. Parrottp
How is it with VIM. X. Lancey9
We ask for information. We will be
glad if any one will furnish us the names
of any prominent democrats who gave a
sworn inventory of their taxable property
The Standards course invites us-proba-
bly, it may force us-to 60 into an exami-
nation of the subject in detail. The Stand
ard avows its belief that the most private
business relations of gentleman are fair
subjects for public discussion, provided
the gentleman be a republican.
The Standard may possibly make it our
duty to see if the rule won't work both
ways and especially to see the disparity
between the actual taxes and the presump-
tive taxable property Of certain leading
democrats in this city
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1871-09-06

The specific charge of the Maine Stand
ard is that "on the morning Of the election
(Sept. 14th,) 1868 Mr.. Blaine dreW fifteen
hundred dollars from the First National
Bank" to add to the political corruption
fund to buy votes at fifty dollars apiece,
&C., &C., &c.
The President and Cashier of the First
National Bank decline to say whether the
declaration quoted above in italic letters is
true but by fair implication and infer
ence, they leave the impression to be
created that il is true.
Now if it be untrue the President and
Cashier of the First National Bank assume
a heavier responsibility than they can stand
under in this community.
1t is perfectly apparent to every fair
mind that while the officers of a Bank
should studiously avoid mentioning what
does take place at their counter, they are
not under similar obligation in regard to
what docs not take place. If for example
the Maine Standard should falsely assert
that one of our most respectable citizens
presented to the First National Bank a
piece Of forged paper for discount, (and
the Standard is capable of any form OF
falsehoodD are we to understand that
President Stanley and Cashier Boothby are
debarred from making any denial of such
a SANDER or doing justice to its victim ).
Here lies the whole distinction The Presi-
dent and Cashier of Bank may not justly
disclose any transaction ohich takes place
at their counter The President and
Cashier of Bank may be justly compelled
by sense of honor to promptly disclaim
imputed transactions aohich necer did take
place at their counter.
We commend this distinction to the Sc
rious consideration of President Stanley
and Cashier Boothby of the First National
Bank.

A WORD TO THE WISE AND 4 WORD
IN SEASON.

The line of personal discussion into which
this paper has been forced for the past few
days is not to our desire or our TASTE 1t has
been forced upon us by the extraordinary and
unprecedented course of the Maine Standard
in its personal assaults upon a prominent
member of the republican party.
The inevitable result of the Standards
course is to provoke retaliation, and we can
not afford to waste time on anonymous and
irresponsible men. We shall be forced to ar
raign prominent democrats just as often as
the Standard attacks prominent republicans
not perhaps SC. coarsely, but we may hope
more effectively.
The leading democrats of the city, if they
desired, could easily change the course of the
Standard, and we therefore shall adopt the
maxim of holding men responsible for that
whieh being able to prerent they do not pre-
rent. 1t is very remarkable circumstance
that since the Standards article of last week
appeared, enough influential democrats have
expressed their disgust and disapproval of it
to hare prevented the disgrace of ats ptbliea-
hon.
All men without respect to party know that
our general course, editorially, is not to speak
Extensively of political opponents. But if
there is to be continuous war of personal
tiles we propose to take our share in it. We
have somehow got the impression that the
Kennebec Journal can stand it as long as
the Maine Standard, and that the prominent
Republicans of Augusta can stand it as long
as the prominent Democrats.
