Office is nothing new. 1t was employed
against Madison as vigorously as against
Grant, and found expression in the old song:
Sister Cults and Cults and /,
And Cults children three
Cults was brother-in-law of Madison, and
was appointed Auditor of the Treasury.
Notwithstanding this charge and doggerel,
people twice elected Madison, and he made
an excellent President"
A North Carolina Greeleyite, presiding
over county convention the other day, ex-
pressed the opinion that ''treason is the
crime of gentleman after ALL" And then
he went on to speak about the ''gentility"
and the "moral dignity" Of the southern
traitors.
The Terre Haute (Ind.) Express says a
painful, but well authenticated, report reach
es it that the candidate for Vice-President on
the Greeley ticket has once more abandoned
his total abstinence, and is in imminent dan
ger of again INDUCING in buttered watermel-
on as soon as the season fairly opens.

Political Notes.

As every one who knew him predicted,
Fred. Douglass declines to run for the Vice
Presidency on the Woodruff ticket. Mr.
Douglass will support Grant and Wilson with
his vote, voice and pen.
The N. Y. Times gives the estimate of a
trained observer as to the probable complex
ion of the electoral college-one whose calcu-
lations on previous occasions of like nature
have been sustained by the result. He gives
Grant 239 votes, Greeley SO, with So as doubt
full. The States given to Greeley are Della
ware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Texas and Virginia The doubt
full States are set down thus: Connecticut.
Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, New JERSEY
and West Virginia.
The Wheeling West Virginia) Inteltgencer
says that Gov. Jacob will be an independent
candidate for reelection in that State, and
that direct intelligence from one-half the
counties indicates that he certainly will be
elected. The Republicans, it is said, will
make no nomination.
Eating cat-pie and calling it venison," is
the way the Mobile Register, Democratic, de-
fines the unsavory process of swallowing
Greeley by the Democracy.
The Albany Journal says: ''The charge
against President of appointing relatives to

Sad Case of Suicide Western Normal School
toridl Iten
.- HARRINGTON, June %, 1872.
A cloud of sadness passed over our commune
ty yesterday, on the receipt of telegram from
Norridgewock, informing Mr.. Henry Stewart
of this village, of the death of his son Fred,
young man of twenty years, Exchanging.
The examination and graduation exercises of
the Western Normal School occur on Thursday
and Friday, at which time the largest class
which has ever graduated at one time will re-
ceive their diplomas : twenty-five in ALL A
very interesting Baccalaureate sermon was
delivered before the class last Sabbath at the
Old South Church, by Rev. G. N. Marden The
church was crowded and the sermon was listen
cd to with great degree of interest
Some time since it was reported that the
buildings of John Knowlton, at Knowlton's
Corner were burned, he losing several new car
riages which were stored in them. 1t was
thought very singular at the time, as there had
been no fire in or around the shop for some
time. Mr. Knowlton, in walking through his
ruins, discovered several teeth, some bones and
an old pipe. These were brought to this village
and one of our physicians pronounces them hui
man bones. The supposition is that some poor
fellow took up his quarters there for the night,
and set them on fire with his pipe The real
state of the case will always remain mystery
No insurance on the buildings.
Several sales of speed horses have lately been
made in town. MIR. Joel Hobart sold Knox

The District Convention.

The District Convention yesterday did its
work well, and the result will be approved by
the Republican voters in September. Despite
the excitement always attendant upon sharp
contest for personal preferences, every act of
the Convention was so characterized with
fairness and impartiality that no man can but
feel that its result was reached by the will of
the majority
Hon. JOHN II. BURLEIGH, the nominee of
the Convention, will be eminently acceptable
to the Republican ranks. Mr.. Burleigh is a
gentleman Of excellent business qualifications,
extensively known and respected among bust
ness men for his integrity aud worth. He is
intelligent, honest and OF irreproachable rep
utation, the highest requisites of availability.
Mr.. Burleigh is, if we mistake not, son of
Hon. William Burleigh, who represented the
York district in 1928. He lis native of South
Berwick, and is little more than fifty years
of age. He received good academical edu-
cation at South Berwick Academy, and subse-
quently followed the sea for several years,
latterly as master. For a few years after leav-
ing the sea, he engaged in business at Great
Falls, N. ii. After few years he engaged
with his brother in the foundry business,
which was afterwards Incorporated as the
Somersworth Machine Company. On the in
corporation of the Newichawanach Wooden
Company at South Berwick, in 1852, he re-
moved to his native town and took the agency
which he has since retained, managing its
business with rare business tact and ability.
He is also President of the South Berwick
National Bank. In his own town he is re-
spected for his liberality and worth as citi-
zen, always commanding, when he has been
candidate ten per cent. more votes than any
other party man.
Without being politician, he has several
times represented his town in the Legisla-
ture. Few men are more conversant with the
many interests of the district, and his past
record is guarantee that he will make a
practical and useful Representative in Con-
gress.
James Fl. MCMILLAN, ESQ.,, who was nom
mated for Presidential Elector by acclama-
ton, it is hardly necessary to say, is the eff
cient Superintendent of the Saco Water
Power Machine Shop. His friends regard his
nomination as deserved compliment to an
ardent worker.
The question of candidacy, so fairly and
auspiciously settled, the Republicans of the
First District will put on the armor not to Sc
cure mere sueeass, hHt to achieve a victory
that will be OVERWHELMING.

THE Greeley Democrats of Baltimore held
meeting Monday night which was addressed
by Montgomery Blair, Col. Harry Gilmore,
Col. E. M. Yerger and others. Col Gilmore
was the bold rebel raider who captured train
between Havre de Grace and Baltimore in
1864. Col Yerger is the man who deliber-
ately murdered Col. Crane in 1868 while Pro-
vost Marshal of Jackson, Miss. The only
reason why this Greeley orator is permitted
to speak rather than have adorned the GAL
lows ne merited as an assassin, is that the
Supreme Court declared that his trial and
sentence oy court martial was unconstitution-
al. Does 'Col." Yerger support Mr.. Greeley
because he has been converted to Republican
ism, or because Mr.. Greeley has Joined the
adherents of the lost cause?

SENATOR WILSON has always enjoyed a
large measure of popularity among the "Boys
in Blue" and with good reason, for he has
ever shown himself their friend Since his
nomination for Vice President, member of
veterans who experienced kindness at his
hands have made grateful acknowledgment
through the press. An Ohio soldier writes to
the Pittsburg Commercial as follows:

my discharge, wrote him letter about GER
