with England the Senator from Massachusetts,
was primarily responsible for it.
The statement of Mr.. Sumner that Secretary
Stanton had told him Grant could not govern
the country was false, and he Uogan) could
prove it So Mr.. Sumner had stated further
that when he asked Mr. Stanton why, if he
distrusted Grant, he had advocated his election
again, he had replied that he had spoken for
the Republican party but had not mentioned
Grants name. Mr. Logan here read extracts
from StantOns speeches in the campaign of
1868 made at Cleveland, Philadelphia and New
York, in which he repeatedly eulogized Grant
6y name, saying the safety of the country was
due to Grant that it was an honor to vote for
Grant that the mistakes and mismanagement
charged upon the Republican party were no re-
proach to President Grant because he was in
the field when they were made, if made at all,
and that the large attendance at the meeting
he was addressing signitied that the people had
given Judgment in favor of U. S. Grant.
MIR. Conkling then read long extract from
the speech made by Secretary Stanton at Stu
Denvlue, Ohio, on the 25th of September, 1868,
IN which he mentioned Grants name repeated

rity for civil administration were equally mani
fest in the vast territory in which he operated"

The theory that human beings whose strength has
been exhausted by pain and sickness be restored
py depicting medicines and water gruel If not abso-
lutey dead deluson is in the last agones Of dsso-
luton. Atlength it is understood that strength can
not be purged into debilitated frame, though life
may easily be purged out of it, and that it is about as
wise to- withhold healthful stimulant from the
weak in the expectation that they will rally without
one as it would be to deprive lamp of oil and expect
it to burn the brighter for it.
The immense and uniform success which has at
tended the of that wonderful combination of a
pure stimulant with the finest medicinal herbs
known Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has largely
assisted in dispelng the absurd chimera Frantic at
tempts are made to revive it, but in vain. When the
sick feel that their strength departing and that nm
less nvigorated they must utterly break down il sn
vain to tender them fecuent slops in the place of
uine restoratves. They may be imposed upon in this
way once, but imposition cannot be repeated They
desire to be refreshed comforted braced up and de-
cline to be griped q second time
Under the operation of the Bitters on the other
hand all processes necessary to physical restoration
go on simultaneously. The system is stimulated and
toned, the bowels regulated the appetite cultivated
the nerves composed and the condition of the blood
improved at one and the same time by single medi-
cine Common sense tells us that such preparation
must be invaluable.

Gently, obtained too much prominence in the
community; and for this step the Messrs. CHS
holm are entitled to the recognition and conf
dence of the public.

The JUBILEE REHEARsAL.-The proposition
by the Haydn Association to hold a grand re-
hearsal of Jubilee music in this city the present
week has met the cordial appreciation of nearly
all the organized societies in the State that pro-
pose to visit Boston on the 18th. Biddeford has
responded with promise to send hundred
from her Choral Union; Bangor will send a
talented delegation, embracing, among others,
George w. Merrill, President of the Penobscot
Musical Association, and his WIFE, +. S. Daven-
port, the conductor, Mrs Davee, pianist, Mrs
Harlow and others. The Knox and Lincoln
Musical Association, composed of residents of
Wiscasset and Boothbay, will be represented
by powerful chorus, and the Pennington
Musical School, and Augusta Choral Society
have seats reserved for goodly number of vo-
calists. 1t is expected that favorable replies
will be received from Lewiston and other towns
to-day. At any rate voices enough are now
secured to form a chorus of more than ordi-
nary power; certainly worth the attention of
all who love the attention of all who love the
grand compositions of the old masters and
modern composers.

ing to the attic, concealed himself among some

INDIRECT DAMAGES.
The Note of Earl Granville.

New YORK, June 3.-The following is sub
stantially the contents of the note of Earl Gran
ville handed to Mr. Schenck Saturday and tel
graphed to the Secretary of State:
Her Majestys Government hold that by the
articles adopted by the Senate, cases of bad
faith and willful misconduct resulting in the
failure to observe strict neutrality are brought
deals with pecuniary compensation. Earl
Granville is informed that it appears to be the
view of the government of the United States
that such cases are not fit subject of pecuni-
airy consideration but that the article proposed
shall apply to all classes of indirect claims
He is likewise informed by Sir Edward Thorn
ton that Secretary Fish is of the opinion that
the article adopted by the Senate is capable of
improvement while the President maintains
that the article last proposed by Her Majesty's
government is also capable of great modifca-
ton. The government of the United States,
Earl Granville is persuaded, does not believe
that there is any such difference of objects be-
tween the two governments in the definition
and limitation which each desired to place up
on the liability of neutral as to prevent any
agreement on the language in which such liza
bility can be expressed if time be allowed for
the exchange of views in some more trust
worthy manner than by the use of the tele-
graph. Under the circumstances the British
government must decline to sign the treaty
which is not in conformity with their views
and which does not express the principles which
the American government believes to be enter
tanned by both parties to the negotiations and
which Immediately after being signed would
become the subject of negotiations with the
view to its alteration. In this position Her
Majesty's government report their readiness to
extend the time allowed for the arbitrator to
meet at Geneva and they have, General
Schenck is aware, provided Sir Edward Thorn
ton with full power to sign treaty for this
purpose or they are willing to concur in joint
application to the tribunal of arbitration at
Geneva to adjourn the proceedings of arbitra-
ton which they are advised by their law Off
GERS is within the competence of arbitrator to
do upon such an implication without formality
of treaty. i

R. Fellows, Josiah Rynders, ex-Recorder JAS

BURGLARIEs IN ALFRED.-Some time be-
tween Saturday night and Monday morning
the ticket Office of the Portland and Rochester
Railroad at Alfred was entered by burglars
who carried off all the railroad tickets, taking
even the cases which contained them. The
freight Office was also entered, and several cases
containing ready made clothing and shoes were
burst open, the thieves carefully selecting such
as suited their wants. The jewelry store of
George N. Phenix was also entered and a guam
tity of jewelry stolen. The same thieves,
probably, broke into one of the Shaker houses,
and took ten dollars from the room of one of
the men employed about the place. This sue
cession of daring burglaries has created some
excitement among the people of that quiet vii
lage and they are trying to get some trace of
their midnight visitors.
