THE Democrats ask if the Republicans did
not support Greeley for office after his record
as 4 secessioni,t was as well known as it is
now. Certainly; but not for President of the
United States, where what might otherwise
be merely harmless eccentriclty would be
the Republic. That would be like putting a
man with lighted pipe in charge of a pow
dermagaZine.

THB New CAPToL-IMPoRTANT ARRANGE
MENTs FOR SToNE.-The Capitol Commission
ers have been greatly embarrassed during the
past year by their inability to procure store as
rapidly as was deemed necessary for vigorous
prosecution of the work. Last fall they enter
ed into contract with the Yarmouth Granite
Company to furnish one hundred and ten thou
sand cubic feet of stone during the year. This
quantity wasi necessary for the completion of
the first story of the building; and if it had
been delivered according to contract, the work
would have been accomplished easily before
the advent of winter But the company did
not do as they agreed; whether because they
could not or because the price paid was made
quate we do not know. 1t is probable, how
ever, that the low price had something to do
with the tardy way in which they responded to
the calls of the Commissioners.
Finding il wholly impracticable to procure
stone as rapidly as needfuf from the Yarmouth
quarry, the Commissioners, as early as June
last entered upon an examination of various
quarres yielding similar stone, and finally
succeeded in finding what hey required and
on Saturday last entered into contract with
the Hallowell Granite Company, for the deliv-
cry, during the present season, of 10000 cubic
feet of granite at $1.35. The contract with the
Yarmouth Company was S0.75 pers foot-a
price which every one deemed inadequate, but
which the contractors were willing to accept,
expecting that the State, through the Legisia-
ture, would vote them sufficient extras to make
up the loss. Senator Lord (who is President of
the Yarmouth Company as well as leading
member of the Canal Rng) was willing to
take the risk. But the last Legislature was in
no humor to give effect to this expectation, and
the Senator is, therefore, quite willing to
have some other company furnish a por-
ton of the stone. The Yarmouth contract.
however, is not surrendered, and the commits
sioner. expect that company to keep on fur
nishing what stone they can Thus far they
have delivered $4,000 cubic feet, and they are
expected to deliver as much more during the
season. If they shall do so, the 10000 cubic
feet to be Furnished by the Hallowell Com
pany will make up the 11,0O0 cubic feet neces-
sary to complete the first story.
Those most responsible for the work saw the
first story will be completed by the first of
January. But this depends upon the supply of
material. If there is no deficiency here the
work will be done, otherwise it will not be.
The price which the Hallowell Companv is
to be paid, (s1.35 per cubic foot) although GO
cents more than the price agreed upon with the
Yarmouth Company, is said to be reasonable.
as we have no doubt it is. At all events the
people will not object il the needed material
could not be otherwise obtained, for thew are
far more anxious to have the work pushed
than they are to save a few dollars in the pur-
chase of material.-Albany Journal, Ind

ter of DR.. French, whose name is sufficient
guaranty to our citizens of the accuracy and
reliability of his statements. ...r
PORTLAND, Sep. 3, 1872.
To the Editor of the Press:
Statements in regard to the incorporate
habits of President Grant have been before
the public for years, serving as an ever ready
fling to those who willfully malign him and a
drawback to the confidence of many who
otherwise trust him. Much has been writ
ten in refutation of such reports, still there
are many honest doubters: and as / have
been requested to state what know of the
matter from positive personal observation, 1
will do so very briefly.
The origin of these stories about the Presi-
dents abuse of ardent spirits can be traced as
far back as 1868 to certain newspaper cor
respondent, who in the capacity of ad-de-
camp to well-known union general, sought
to elevate this officer by defaming Gen. Grant
for at that time there were many aspirants to
the Lieut.. Generally. This correspondent
succeeded equally well in falsely reporting the
battles in which his commanding officer fig
ured, to such an extant that for more than a
year he stood before the country as a great
general while totally undeserving of the repu-
tation.
In 1858 / was ordered to Grants Head
Quarters, fully believing the reports in regard
to his character; and afterwards, when / had
proved them to be utterly false, disclosed to
the general himself my early impressions and
the prevalence of this opinion in New Eng
land. For many months I sustained the in
timate relation Of staffsurgeon and family
physician; for at this time the Generals fam
lily were with him at Vcksburg, and very
frequently required my professional aid. At
this time, too, it was that the General was
thrown from his horse and confined to his
room for several weeks, during which period
was with him almost constantly. I have
also been present repeatedly while Gen.
Grant, in company with Sherman, McPher-
son, and other leading officers, were discuss
ing and planning military operations. In
short, not only have seen him exhilarated
by success amid the congratulations of
friends, but also depressed by mental anxiety
and physical suffering; and although the
terms exhilaration and depression can scarce
ly be applied to man of President Grants
imperturbability, still 1 should say the Cir
cumstances were calculated to cause both in
an extreme degree, and also such as to lead
q man addicted to the abuse of liquor, to
drink immoderately.
However, it was the exception for him to
take even a single glass socially, and on many
occasions most di tinctly remember that he
declined to drink with distinguished generals
and prominent statesmen.

Is Charles Sumner Insane ?

More infamous words, greater insult was
never offered to the Union soldiers than the
following, taken from the closing sentences of
Charles Summers speech that was to be de-
livered Tuesday night:
THE TIME FOR THE SOLDIER HAS PASSED. Fs-
PECIALLY WHEN HIS RENEWED POWER WOULD
ONCE MORE REMIND FELLOW CITIZENS OF THEIR
DEFEAT VICTORY OVER FELLow-CTTIZENs
SHOULD BE KNOWN ONLY IN THE RIGHTS IT
ASSURES; NOR SHOULD IT BE FLAUNTED IN THE
FACE OF THE vANQuIsHED. 1T SHOULD NOT BE
INSCRIBED ON REGIMENTAL CoLoRs, OR PoR-
TRAYED IN PICTURES AT THE NATIONAL CAPT
Toll. BUT THE PRESENT INCUMBENT Is REGI-
MENTAL COLOR WITH THE FORBIDDEN INsCRIP-
TON; HE Is PICTURE AT THE NATIONAL
CAPITOL RECALLING VICTORIES OVER FELLOW
CITIZENS. IT IS DOUBTFUL IF SUCH PRESENCE
CAN PROMOTE TRUE RECONSTRUCTION.
Crippled soldiers, your time has passed, so
stink away to some retreat; no more walk
the streets with your crutches: no more dis
play the empty sleeve; raze to the ground
your soldiers monuments; take the tattered
old battle flags from their place in the State
House and burn them; disband your Grand
Army of the Republic and every regimental
organization. For the sake of Cancellation
abolish pensions, abolish the soldiers home
stead law, abolish every vestige of the struggle
that saved the nations life. Perhaps the
great Senator will recommend at the next
session of Congress the Punishment of every
soldier from the country.
There is not an unrepentant rebel in the
South, not a midnight assassin of Ku Klux
who will not applaud this Infamous sentiment
of Charles Sumner.
Soldiers of Maine! This speech of Mr..
Sumner was made to influence the Maine
election. Charles P. Kinball is his candidate
for Governor and Marcellus Emery is one of
the men he favors for Congress. Will you
vote for them?
