The SET-oFF FROM PENoBscoT TO PIscATA-
oUIs.-The project which is being agitated in
Dexter, to have that and seven other towns in
the county of Penobscot and six in the county
of Somerset, annexed to Piscataquis county, is
creating quite an excitement in the towns men-
tioned,as well as in Piscataquis county. Dexter,
on Saturday, 9th inst, at a town meeting voted
to issue bonds to the amount of $4,000 for the
purpose of building county buildings, should
the proposed set-off be authorized by the Leg
islature and the towns themselves, and Dexter
be fixed upon as the shire town of Piscataqus
county A movement opposing this was start
ed, and another and very fully attended meet
ing held in Dexter on Saturday, to see if
the town would reconsider the vote, but the
meeting refused to reconsider,by vote of three
to one. Piscataqus people are not be caught
mapping, however and the prospect of remov-
ing the county-seat from Dover to Dexter, has
stirred Thea up. A call has been issued sign
ed by one hundred and four citizens of Dover
and Foxcroft for meeting at the courthouse
in the first named village Monday evening "to
determine what action it is expedient to adopt
for the best interest of the county" If the
matter is carried to the Legislature-as in all
probability it will be-there is likely to be a
great fight over it.

Caswell County, North Carolina, has not en-
jOyed fortunate reputation Of late years
Whether justly or not, it has been reported
TO maintain the irregular ruflian band known
as Regulators" and to have been formerly
more or less tronbled with Ku-Kluxism. The
story that Mr.. Settle, who presided over the
Philadelphia Convention, and is now canvass
ing the With District of North Carolina for
Congress, has been shamefully insulted and
threatened by roughs in Casweu County is a
plausible one, and will find credence among
those who know anything of the locality. OF
course, while the Grant men are in consid-
cradle minority in the South, there will be
some attempts to obtain popular sympathy
elsewhere by exaggerating the boisterous DEM
onstrations of disfavor which are inseparable
from the political canvass everywhere. But
the outrage said to have been perpetrated on
Mr.. Settle is circumstantially reported, and
seems to be one of those shameful attacks on
free speech which proceed from that spirit Of
ignorant lawlessness which inevitably grows
up in country under military rule, and
which it must be the first duty Of the restored
civil Government to reeress and correct.

To this Lord Tenterden made no reply, and
Mr.. Bancroft Davis asked for time to receive
instructions, which came with great prompt
ness, for last Tuesday he was able to inform
the Board that "the United States would not
+" further insist on the Indirect Claims before
Z" the Tribunal, and that they might be ex-
"cluded from all consideration"
With this termination of the incident go
into the air, with an exceeding i'll SAVIOR. all
the arguments, all the negotiations, all the
supplemental treaties, all the firm outings
down of feet, of the last six months. The
decision, in its substance and its spirit is
purely an English victory. The loud and
long-continued cheering with which 1t was
received in Parliament yesterday, was
founded on perfectly accurate perception OF
its bearing and Importance. There is nothing
decided for the future; no mutually ad-
vantageous principle of neutrality is estab-
lished by it, Our Case has been Numbered
out of court, and that is all.
There has been so much disagreeable wrang-
ling over this matter, our Government has In
the course of it developed such new and va
ried capacities for making mistakes, that the
general impression will doubtless be one OF
relief, that the worst is now known, and that
so far at least as this question is concerned,
the opportunity for further mischief is over.
But the history and the discredit will re-
main. There was never seen an international
dispute begun moro uselessly and prosecuted
more weakly than this. 1t is hard to say
which is the more disgraceful, the way VIC got
into it or the way we got out of it.

The sudden retirement of the counsel OF
Judge McCunn and the abandonment OF all
show of defense in his case were generally
accepted, yesterday, as a confession OF Judg-
ment; but this appears to be both hasty and
erroneous conclusion The counsel retire from
the Senate to go to the Court of Appeals, and
the issues raised in the early part OF the trial,
touching the validity of the Governors recon-
mendation to remove, will have to be retired
before a tribunal composed wholly of lawyers.
This will be looked upon and laughed at by
some as desperate device of the defense,
but ex-Judge Selden is understood to approve
it, and he is q lawyer of such pure repute as to
be above suspicion of legal trick, and of
too great ability to appeal case of such inn
portance on q groundless issue. His retire
ment from the case appears to have been
compelled by doubtful ruling, which, in
view of the strength of the prosecution as
thas far presented, was unfortunate. The
letter of the receiver Hanrahan ought never
10 have been submitted in the first place and
it was a bunder to receive it; for it gives the
impression that the majority of tho Senate
are not lawyers. 1t il of the utmost import

"other essentials" you must pledge yourself

We have no doubt the constituents OF Senator
Spencer, if he can be said TO have any, Will
read this letter with interest and ediiicalon,
and will readily permit him to retire into prl-
! vate life, or go back to Iowa, next March; by
which time representative government at the

very little what may become of Mr.. Spencer
The case is important not because 1t shows
what worthless men the Reconstruction acts
have brought into the Senate Chamber, but
because it illustrates the mean, corrupt, ana
dangerous principles upon which the present
Administration attempts to rule the country

The agitation of the Riverside Park Improve
ment, begun two weeks ago in The TRIBUNE,
has resulted in bringing the subject before the
Park Commissioners, who are now engaged in
discussing the propriety of disseminating the
Improvement, or at least of reducing the limits
of the proposed Park. We have taken no sides
thus far in the discussion, but have impartially
given views pro and con- in the belief that such
agitation in the interests of taxpayers usually
results in forcing economy on the public officials
The Riverside Park Improvement, as originally
planned, involved an addition of S35OO,00O TO
the general tax levy for what was universally
conceded to be for particular benefit; and it
imposed nearly as much more of burden on
about 300 West side property owners to pay
rather large awards to about 200 Others. There
were some things about this which appeared
to many not precisely equitable, and the Park
Commissioners are urged to take short
method of settling the matter by resembling
the orders for the Park. This might have a
depressing effect temporarily on West Side
real estate, but one from which it would soon
recover.

In Philadelphia, on Tuesday, the Republicans
made their nominations for members of Con-
gress and the Legislature and city offices by
the Crawford County plan :" that is, by
direct vote of the members of the party, with
out preliminary caucusiDg. We believe this
is the first instance in which the Crawford
County method has been attempted on 80
large scale. About 10000 votes we're cast,
the highest Republican vote ever polled in
Philadelphia being about 620OO. The Press
says the candidates for municipal offices con-
stitute much better ticket than the party
has had q chance TO vote for for several years.
The Congress nominations are also good. The
Hons Leonard Myers William ID. Kelley, and
Charles 0'Neill were all renominated without
serious opposition, and the choice of the two
former WAS unanimous. For Recorder of
Deeds there were six candidates, the success
full aspirant receiving about one-third of the
aggregate poll. The nominations for the
Legislature were mostly good men, but 1t is
admitted that some notOriously corrupt per-
sons succeeded, as also in the ward nomina-
tons for Councilmen.

Col. Geo. w. Carter of Louisiana affords
fine example of the increasing sensitiveness OF
the average political conscience. When the
Presidents observation-disclosures Casey
and Marshal Packard attempted to seize the
State Government in order to "carry Louisiana
for Grant, Col. Carter was made Speaker OF
the experimental Assembly which was organ
lied at the historic bar-roOm. He belonged to
the Federal Offceholders' rebellion, and took
conspicuous part in the proceedings which
disgraced the name Of American Republican
ism. But Grantism is too much even for him,
and he retires from the editorial conduct OF
the Administration organ at New-Orleans, be-
cause, as he believes, the rights of the people
are outraged "by the use of the force which
could be borrowed from Federal patronage
in the State of Louisiana" That is just
what has been done in the State ever since
the reign of Collector Casey began. Col Car
ter has been long time in getting angry
about it but now he has finally seen the
| iniquity of the thing, there is hope for other
perverse politicians.
