The Knox and Lincoln Railroad Com
pany, so far as the Rockland Free Press
is authorized to speak for it, does not
meet in kindly and acquiescing spirit
the suggestion that it shall guaranty in
terest on the cost of constructing Il road to
Camden. We have had an idea that
when the marrow of that plan came to be
touched there would be some squirming.
The Free Press, in reply to an article
from the Camden Herald, assuming that
such 4 guaranty can be had, says
Such faith as il exhibited by the directors of
the Penobscot Bay and River Railroad is truly
sublime, and in the eternal fitness of things
will be sure to win the crown of victory event
ually. But we 'fwish to remark that when
something substantial is done it will be on a
different basis from the one proposed. If
Camden wants railroad built, she must pre-
pare TO 10 her full share towards that object
She must not rely upon the towns which have
built the Knox and Lincoln to become the
virtual guarantors of interest on the cost of the
road to Camden, while she takes TO burden or
responsibility. If she does she will be dsap-
pointed.
Undoubtedly the same considerations
and rules will prevail in this matter, that
usually guide the policy of railroad man
ayers. They consider generally that it is
their duty to consult the greatest good of
the greatest number, which is number
one. If Camden can show sufficient in
ducement, and prove that road will
command enough additional business over
the present means of conveyance to war
rant the guaranty, it will be forthcoming
But if the Knox and Lincoln managers
are sure of the business of Camden as
matters now arc, they would as soon have
it over common roads as over railroad.
And Rockland would much rather have it
so. The only light we get upon the sub
iect comes from paragraph in the same
number of the Free Press from which we
cut the above extract. 1t is this
Among the freight going west by the Knox
e. Lincoln Railroad we noticed, few days ago
| some heavy anchors from the works of Messrs
Alden at Camden. The road already has con.
siderable freighting.
If this shall be the case with both
freight and passengers, the railroad can
| afford to rest content. And if Camden
cannot build the road without q guaranty
of interest, there would seem to be an
end of the matter for the present. Lack
ing the means to build, the only other
chance will be tb wait until some corpora
ton or individual shall have sufficient in
ducement, money and pluck to reach GU:
for the business at Bangor and beyond.
Such road cannot be built for less than
two million dollars. Until, therefore,
some gentleman happens along with two
millions in his pocket, we shall not look
to see a LOGON motive skirting the blue
waters OF the Penobscot Bay.

Brigham's Adieux.
Utah Cores. of the Cincinnati Commerce

Utah Cores. of the Cincinnati Commerc ial.
Brigham Young's most noted wife is
called Amelia; she is vivacious, spirited
woman, about 80 years old, American
born, and without children. Another of
the Presidents wives is Mrs. Decker, who
still retains indications of much former
beauty, and her daughters are the hand
soonest of Brigham's children. The old
gentleman looks out well for avocations
for his sons-n- law, and it is said that in
his will he has divided all his property
into seven hundred shares, giving the
bulk of it to the Church, and distributed
the rest equally among his families. l
saw Brigham at the Social Hall, on the
occasion of my last visit here, bid four of
his wives adieu. The old gentleman had
been dancing, but had fatigued the legs
Of 20 years, and he approached the clus-
ter of his helpmates, buttoned up in
blue overcoat with a white vest under
meath, red woollen comforter around
his neck, and a worn silk hat in his hand.
He looked very large, square and bland,
and he said with tenderness and dignity.

The South Carolina bond swindle. of
which we last week published an account.
is one OF the most atrocious ever perpe-
trated. 1t ought to sink to perdition the
whole system of carpet bag State and city
governments which has been thrust at the
point Of the bayonet upon an outraged
people. But there is one consideration
which will work as an antidote to future
operations of the kind The capitalist
who purchase bonds securities and are the
most timid and suspicious class in the
community, will be likely to take the adj
vice of their prototype, Shylock, and
'look to their bonds" No future pledges
of the kind can be disposed Of without OK
animation into the authority by which they
are issued, and proper vouchers from men
of integrity that the amount has not been
exceeded. Thus will rascality work its
own cure. The New York correspondent
of the Boston Post says
ue hS Wall 5rfst gentlemen w42 e hY 3srH
much disturbed IN spirit by the exposures made
concerning South Carolina finances and the
operations Of Gov. SCOTS ring Of ''thieving
carpet-baggers.' The belief is general that the
bonds will be repudiated, and of course heavy
losses in New York will be the consequence
But the losers will not have much sympathy
If the dealers in these evidences of fraud did not
suspect that something was wrong, they were
not so sharp men of their class generally get
the credit for being. They had plenty Of ground
for suspicion, at any rate, and some brokers
who were not IN the ring Cor perhaps it was a
Syndicate), say they must have suspected fraud,
but were willing to take their chance. as the
celebrated legal firm, Dodson & Foge. were
willing to take the great case OF Mrs. Bardeil
s'on speculation" However this may be. the
holders of South Carolina bonds feel decidedly
shakv, and the exposures made will probably
render it difficult for carpet-bag Governments
to raise miscellaneous cash in Wall street here
after.

Even the New York Tribune at last
perceives that the terrible swindles per-
petrated upon the Southern people by
northern carpet-baggers cannot be con
cealed. 1t acknowledges all that has
been charged, in an article from which
the following is an extract
For months the developmen ts of rascality in
the management of the reconstructed Govern
ment of several Southern States have been
growing more and more conclusive. No in
telligent man longer doubts that those Govern
ments have been t1aarantly expensive and cor
rupt, that they have increased taxation, incur
red debt and issued bonds to an enormous eX-
tent. The facts are in part concealed or obscur-
ed, but cannot long remain so; enough is
already known to justify the very gravest APP
prehensonS.

The Storm.

While our paper was being printed, on
Wednesday night, q heavy southeast
storm was raging from New York to the
eastern line of Maine In all the harbors
along the coast more or less damage was
done, by driving vessels ashore tearing up
wharves and flooding warehouses. The
tide was the highest that has ever been
known since the great gale of 1861, which
destroyed the Minot's Ledge Lighthouse.
The track of the Eastern Railroad, which
runs for considerable distance over the
sea-coast marshes, suffered greatly from
washings, but is now repaired and in run
ming order. A great many disasters have
been heard of, and more are expected.
We are informed, on good authority, that the
statement of Mr.. Mace OF Bangor, reported in
the Belfast Journal and copied into the Adver-
tiser, to the effect that the suits brought against
him by Messrs Hale & Emery of Ellsworth,
were maliciously instigated by Messrs. Hale &
Emery, is entirely untrue. The suits We're IN
every case brought at the request of parties be-
leving themselves to have been wronged by

ly or indirectly, with Mr.. Mace on the
