Whom shall We Believe 2

Senator Thurman of Ohio. in a speech de-
liveEed at Columbus, August 10Th, says, "that
Democrats interpose no objection to the thir-
teenth amendment, but are as strongly op-
posed to the fourteenth and fifteenth as ever. d
1t has been the open boast of the leaders of
the Democracy in the South, that should their
party ever get control of the reins of govern.
ment, they would overthrow the thirteenth.
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and il
the papers of the southern States can be re-
lied upon as rejecting the sentiments of the
Southern people, it is certainly apparent that
they accept neither OF their amendments in
good faith. ..,.
In letter written to the Lynchburg Gre
publican" (Democratic) August 26th, the
writer says: .t..
There have been three RADICAL amend.
ments to the Constitution of the United
States-thirteenth, fourteenth aud fifteenth
The Vallaudieham party endorse none of
these interpretations. They were put their by
force and violence. The thirteenth amend
ment abolshes slavery and robs the South OF
millions OF trillions of money. All three of
these amendments are the results of war and

suited iully agree that with the general Apa
thy everywhere prevailing in the ranks of the
radical party in Maine, it is safe to assume
they Will not throw more than fOrty-fve to
forty-seven thousand votes this fall.
We have in Maine not less than sixty tho
usand Democratic voters.
In 1868 we threw between fifty. six and fif
ty-seven thousand votes, hence it is plain t.
see that We have only to quietly bring ou
our own vote this year to secure bri!lian
triumph. > ....
VICTORY is CERTAINLY WITHIN OUR
REACH and appeal TO you personally, In be
half of the democracy of Maine las l shall tc
active and energetic democrats in every town
in the State,) to quietly and cautiously ADOPT
means at once to make sure that every dem.
ocrat in your town is at the polls. y -.
| need not remind you that a victory in
Maine at this time would send great joy to
the friends of Constitutional liberty ali over
our beloved county and insure as PennsgI-
Udnoid and Ohio IN October, as aveU as a glo.
rious national victory in 1872.
This result ought surely. to be enough to
make every patriotic Democrat in Maine
buckle on his armor and work with will.
therefore trust you will loose no time in
seeing other active democrats in your town,
that all may act in harmony together in the
good cause. 5.....-.. .''.-. -. kh

The New Orleans Lie.


General Grant has stamped out that New
Orleans lie. He met the Yarmouth deleea-
ton Tuesday at Long Branch. He heard
their complaint and the charges made by the
Federal officers. In the most emphatic man
ner he disavowed having given any authorize
ton for the use of the troops. To the re-
mark of delegate that Packard had claimed
to be acting under the highest sanction, and
that kilograms had been sent to Washington
asking for instructions, the President replied
that he had received no such kilograms. In
TACT he was unaware ofthe troops having been
employed until it was published in the news
papers. General esnolds, in his written re-
port to the government, claimed that he was
ignorant of the use to which the tIoops were
to be put. .ts I'd. 40 ut..

JUDGE CLIFFORD, of the Circuit Court, at
Boston, gave an opinion in the case of SWEET
against the Boston, Hartford & Erie Railroad
Company. The case involves the question of
the application Of the bankrupt law to railroad
corporations 1t will be remembered that
some time since an opinion was given by Judge
Sbepley sitting as District Judge, in the case
Of Adams VS.. The Hartford & Erie Railroad,
to the effect that railroad corporations were
amenable to the provisions of that law. The
ground OF the decision was that such corpora
tions were business" corporations within the
meaning of the bankrupt act. The present
case, which is in the form of a petition for re-
view of that decision, was subsequently,
brought in the Circuit Court. Judge Clifford
has now decided, as before, that the bankrupt
act applies to railroad corporations, but UPON
different ground from that held by Judge
Shepey. he holds that they are not "busi-
ness" but are commercial corporations
within the meaning of the act Some other
cnssed in the opinion.
