Political Notes.

The New York Tribune predicts the most
infuriated Presidential contest in 1872 that
has occurred since 1900.
The Tribune says Gov. Scott and otner ON
GERS of the State government of South Carroll
ma have received orders from the ku klux TO
resign their Office and leave the State. Two
officers have obeyed. This action was fore
shadowed by a violent speech of Gen. Ker-
shaw, formerly major general in the rebel
army, who warned the governor that north
ern carpet bagsers and scalawags must leave
the State and government they had usurped
to Southern gentlemen. Attorney General
Chamberlain will urge President Grant to
send more troops to that State
Gov. Alcorn of Mississippi telegraphs tc
Washington that lie is taking measures Il
punish the Meridian rioters, and tht he wants
no aid from the government. He asserts
that the State is peaceful, except in few
the northern counties.
1t is reported in Washington that the Crane
Army of the Republic is making arrangement
through various local branches TO preseh
Gen. Logan as the candidate in 1877 10
President. Gen. Logan, however, denies an!
knowledge of such movement.
Col Fornev writes from Washington: "Ev
erybody here except the President and few
Senators who seemed to partake of his enthu
sasm on the subject, have come TO the conclu
sion that, for the present at least, the Sa
Domingo project of the administration
dead. In conversation with Senators dis
cover that recent events, more directly trace
able to the San Domingo scheme, have alier
ated many of those who were formerly frient
ly to it. while they have confirmed the pos
ton of its opponents"

Henry Ward Beecher denied that Jesus Christ

God in bis heart, and when man rose to that
state in which he could see God be might bap.

the Washington correspondent of the Philadel-

As early as the hour OF 10 in the morning

A word in regard 10 our Maine Superin-
tendents. Last winter the Railroad Com.
missioners were severely censured in the Leg
nature for speaking with commentator of
these gentlemen in their report. We think
that the complimentary notices were certain
ly trif1e indiscriminate, giving rise to a most
amusing difficulty in avoiding verbal identi-
ty OF alusion to the multitude of efficient,
competent" and "active" railroad officers OF
Maine. But it is clear to our mind that the
Commissioners did this rather as an obsery-
ance of traditional usage than in spirit of
undue Cancellation and difference toward the
railroad companies. As matter of taste we
should prefer not to see such superfuous GER
ti6cates of good character and competency in
an official report. But in justice TO the Com
missioners and to the superintendent it
should be conceded that these concentrations
are not undeserved-the most of them, at any
fa'e' The singular exemption from disaster
anu ioss Vi HE which our Maine roads have
nappi'y enjoyed from the first hears tine most
SATISFACTORY and conclusive testimony to the
genuine efhclency, vigilance and competencv
OF our railroad officers and EMPLOYEES. As onr
Maine system becomes more exton,a,
complicated there will be need OF even No.
activity in the exercise of these ou,l;r;aa
And as everything seems to indicate that on.
local roa is are mainly to pass from the con,ro,
of independent corporations and are, at nc,
distant day, to be run by substantially one
great association, the work of thoroughly or.
ganizng the corps OF employees and systema-
tizug their work will be the easier. To those
who find in the prospect of universal consoli-
dalton ground for serious apprehension, this
incidental consideration may occur in the
light of partial compensation.

Case not Made Out.

The trial of Mr.. Joseph Cohen, the
gentleman arrested Saturday afternoon on
the charge of enticing from her home a
girl named Sarah James, for improper pur-
poses, took place yesterday before Justices
wilkinson and Albert, and resulted in the
acquittal of the accused The defence
was conducted by VIM. G. Brien, Esq,
and the evidence for the other side was so
conflicting and in some respects 50 i'm
probable, as to give the whole affair the
appearance of a frivolous and malicious
prosecution. A large number of gentle
men, who have personally known Mr.. Co.
len for years past, we're present IN court,
and testified to his good character, while
others, who have been intimately &C
quainted with him, stated that Mr.. Cohen
was a man of sober and industrious habits,
and not at all given to the character OF
dissipation indicated by the Charge. 1t is
to be regretted that men Of deservedly
good reputation are sometimes subjected
to the trouble and inconvenience aris-
ing from criminal charges falsely alleged
against them by malicious and designing
persons.

PROGRESSIVE POLITICS.

Republicans of st. LOuis Take
Strong Grounds Against the Pet
Measures of Their Party-The
President and the Party 6 Generally
RepudIated for the Ultra Auction
Adopted.
ST. LOUIS, April 16.-Twelve gentle
men who style themselves the Liberal
Republican Executive Committee of st.
Louis have published an address, in which
they explain the occasion of the existence
of the committee, and the position of the
movement in which they are engaged,
after which they sum up the position and
policy of the committee in the following
platform:
l. A democratic ballot-box, equally of
citizenship as established by the constitu-
tional amendments, and amnesty for all
past political offenses.
2. Supremacy of constitutional govern
meBt; that the executive shall not invade
the legislative, nor that either of the two
shall usurp the province of the judici-
airy.
8. We condemn President Grants
course in committing acts of war on a
neighboriDg Republic as violative of the
Constitution, which vests the war making
power in Congress.
4. We are opposed to all enaCtments
whereby it is put within the discretion of
the President to declare martial law or
suspend the writ of constitutional liber-
ty, except in an actual condition of war,
as violative of the constitution, in substi-
tuting the will of the President in the
place Of the law of the land.
8. We are opposed to any tariff which
is intended to foster any one or another
class of industry, and thus tax one man
or class for the benefit of another, and
maintain that all taxes should be levied
with the least possible burden to the pee
pie as a whole.
6. Believing that the time has come
when the condition of our country war
rants the resumption of specie payment,
we favor a speedy return to the basis of
gold and silver currency, and we depre-
cate any effort to compel the present gen.
Grafton to pay the principal of the debt
incurred for the preservation of our
Union, believin G that, as future genera
lions as well as the present, derive the
benefit therefrom, they should bear pro-
pOrtionate share of the same.
Z. Reform in appointments to the civil
service; that personal qualifications and
intrinsic merit shall be the standard and
not Executive favoritism.
