An entertaining article entitled "Tony

vania RpuJIic07l, from which the follow
ing is an extract:
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1872-08-23
Fifty Shipwrecked Sailors Killed and
Eaten.

The Pekin Gazette contains an account of the
shipwreck of two vessels belonging to Loo
Choo, off the coast of Formosa, near the point
inhabited by cannibals. The captain. officers,
and crew of one of the vessels were saved by a
Chinese merchant vessel that brought them
safely to Fungshan, from whence they were
sent to Foo Choo. The other vessel, containing
sixty-nine men, was dashed upon the rocks and
fifty-seven of those who escaped death were
in few days barbarously killed and eaten by
the cannibals of Moutan Formosa.
According to the account of one who escaped
death, the typhoon swept over their vessel, tax
ing three of the men from the deck, who were
imm diately drowned the vessel, after drift
ing about for some days near the coast of For
mosa, was then suddenly capsized, throw
ing the remaining sixty-six men into the sea
but as they were all expert swimmers they
made for the rocky shore, which they all safely
reached
After wandering over rocks and desert places
for seven days and seeing no inhabitants, they
suddenly came upon party of cannibals, who
rushed upon them, stripped them of their
clothes, and of all they had with them. Yet
this time they fortunately escaped alive, and
fled and hid themselves among the rocks
at some distance; but the "Sangfau'' canni-
and captured and killed fifty -four. The other
twelve once more escaped. In answer to a me-
moral the Chinese Emperor says: 'Iet the
sufferers be rewarded according to the will OF
the memorialist. Let the civil and military
officers make speed to examine and punish the
cannibals, that it may be seen we cherish the
people in our BOSOM"

Political Notes.

After Mr.. Greeley had left the Ocean
House, vote on the Presidential question
was taken which resulted in Grant As, Gree
ley3.
1t is estimated that there are over 5000 old
Union Wings in Alabama who have not
voted since the war. They beat the Quakers
of Pennsylvania.
Hon. Thomas Steere, last year Democratic
candidate for Governor in Rhode Island has
recently pronounced for Grant and made
speech at Grant and Wilson flag raising at
Woonsecket Tuesday evening.
The $4,000 Greeley bet advertised in Ben
Woods paper, the News as on deposit there,
like other Greeley matters turns out to be a
fraud. Some Republicans calling to cover it,
found that no such sum had ever been placed
there.
Trustworthy advices from Georgia say that
there are 10000 Democrats in that State who
will not vote for Greeley. They propose to
nominate straight-out State ticket.
General John Bedell, former Democratic
nominee for Governor of New Hampshire,
repudiates Greeley, and now these pious
Chow elbows of the Granite Hills call him
John be DID,
This is the way Greeleyism is Growing
and swelling, and sweeping over the land %
In May-"Hurrah for Old Horace and Re-
formp'
In June-"Greeley has his faults, but we
can stand them"
In July-"Anyway, Greeley is better than
Grant"
In Augustine Greeley in mine, thank
you"
The Boston AdUertiser says that in New
England the Greeley ticket is weaker than it
has been at any time since he was nominated.
Many Democrats regard it as odious and de-
clare themselves against it, while the Liberal
hepuphcans are few and far between. The
TWO States generally classed as doubtful, New
hampshire and Connecticut, were never less
doubtful than they are now.
A Company ofTanners was formed at East
Hebron Monday evening, and J. E. Ash was
elected Captain and c. b. Brown LIST Lieu
tenant so names were put on the list. The
company will probably number 200.
The Lewiston Journal says we understand
from good authority that Capt. A. C. Pray of
Livermore, who was nominated on Tuesday
by the Democratic and Liberal conventionsas
a candidate for Senator from this county,
states that his name was used without his
knowledge or consent, and that he is Re-
publican and entirely opposed to restoring the
Democratic party to power.

Wanted-a Change of Heart.

We have no doubt that, in the event of
Mr.. Greeley's success, his Southern friends
would celebrate his election in the cheerful
to his inaugural address would come the
crack of the musket and the cries of freed
men driven from their burning homes. This
has been the response of the ex-Rebel to ey-
cry hope of forgetfulness of the past that
has been held out to him since the close of
the war. Forget and forgive! OF course
that is what every Republican has longed to
do ever since April, 1866. Genuine repent
ance and sincere conversion of the mind to
the doctrines of civil and political equality
are the only conditions to complete oblivion
OF the past ever imposed on the South by
any party or faction in this country. Only
convince the Republican masses that the
Southern people not only ''accept" the re-
suits of the war, but are really concerted to
the right, so that, if the conduct of affairs
were left exclusively in their hands, they
would willingly, without the restraint of any
constitutional provision or the pressure of a
superior power, carry on the good work to
its consummation-only convince the Repub-
hcan masses of this, and there is no evidence
OF forgiveness and no token of confidence
and friendship that they would not eagerly
give. Any conversion less radical than this
cannot be accepted as qualification for ell
tering once more on the responsible duty.of
governing this country. There is no pretense
that there has been any such intellectual con-
viction as we have described, and this being
the case accepting the situation amounts
to no more than putting up with what can't
be helped. Men who believe that certain
state of affairs is wrong, only await good
opportunity to right it. Accordingly, it
would have been as pertinent to talk about
forgiveness of the past" in the sense of re-
storing to poacer those whose principles are
Inconsistent Nth the integrity Of the country
and the progress Of civilization, while war
was hagrant, as it is now. We, in common
WIN all Republicans, would hail with delight
the first evidence of such a change of heart
as would render it safe to place anx Marty or
faction OF the American people in charge of
the destinies of the country. But such
change is not to be found in a platform made
for the obvious purpose of regaining the as
tendency, but in some such voluntary act as
the ratification of the fifteenth amendment
by Democratic legislatures, or the passage of
local laws by the ex-Rebel communities of
the South facilitating the requirement and en-
joyment by the freedmen oftheir civil and DO
litical> rights. Until there is some such evil
dence as this of a change of heart, it will be
extremely unsafe to put the Republican party
on the retired list

Sold hY His New Allies.

The Demo-Liberal coalition seems in
fscted by a perfect mania for bargain
and sale business. All their conventions
are run on that plan and now it has
come down to individual voters. In the
Third district the Democrats are selling
out the Liberal Lang in most heart
less way. They offer two votes for Blaine
for one for Kimball. We hope our friends
will not be led into any such foolish exchange.
Mr.. Blaine's election by large majority is
entirely certain, and the Governor vote is
that upon which the general result in the
State is announced, so that we have some
thing to lose but nothing to gain in such an
exchange.
But what must be the sensation of ''Col."
Lang on discovery of this perfdy of his new
comrades. He will weep with unusual copi-

The Straight.Outs.

Inc managers of the proposed Louisville
convention say that responses have been re-
celVed from thirty-two States all Of which
promise delegations to the meeting of Sep
TENDER I'D. lnseveral States there are already
straight-out organization, among which are
Georgia, Virginia Kentucky, Tennessee and

also be respectable following in New York
Pennsylvania, Indiana and other northern
States. The leading Democratic and Greeley
organs ridicule the movement and despise it

as contemplate but as its proportions are re-
yealed, some of the wisest of them begin to
display good deal of anxiety about it. The
World and the Herald have already elaborate
leaders on the topic which hardly disguise the
fact that in it they see the defeat of MIR. Gree
ley which others have seen the past three
weeks without it. Since the pronounced en-
vile project is fast coming into favor with
that class of Democrats that really believe in
the principles of the party as bad as they are.
If the movement has the success that it now
promises, it will be doubtful if Mr.. Greeley
gets as many electoral votes as did Mr..
Dnnplass in 1860.

WHAT BLANTON DUNCAN SAYS ABOUT TEH
LOUISVILLE CONVENTIONAL correspondent of
the New York Herald relates the following con-
versation which he had with Col Blanton Dun
can on the Louisville Convention:
Correspondent-Colo believe YOU are
recognized as a leader of the Bourbon move
ment.
Colonel Duncan (interposing, with smile
OF endorsement at the compliment) Yes, sir.
Correspondent-Your movements have COM
menced to attract the greater part of the at
tention OF the Greeley organs, 1 believe, Col
onel.
Col. Duncan-Yes sir with another smile, J
yea, ST. they have been calling me "pig-head-
etc, but they are beginning to be scared. They
thought they Were safe; they didn't believe
anybody would dare set the house ON fire-they
didn't believe would set the house ON fire
But they were mistaken now they see it be-
ginning to tumble in and they are frightened
They find that it won't do to ignore me any
longer.
Correspondence have called, Colonel, for the
purpose OF obtaining from you some facts con-
corning the situation, the expectations and the
prospects, of your party.
Colonel Duncan-Well don't know what
can give you. The country is alive with the
subject and names are pouring in here every
except California, Nevada, New HAMPSHIRE
Vermont and Rhode Island, has responded to
my circular, and some Of them will send ire
mcndous delegations. There will be the big
gest and most enthusiastic convention here in
September, sir, that has ever been held in this
country. They don't believe it; but it is SO, sir:
and you'll find it SC. See here the letters that
have come to-day. (Here he jumped out of his
comfortable chair, and, going to cabinet took
down out OF pigeonhole labelled s.Fresh," a
great packet of papers which he dumped yigor-
ously on the broad table in front of me. Tn
fall Jostled them over square yard, and they
covered it all.) This is only one DAVIS lot of
them, remember. Examine them yourself and
you II find out more than can tell YOU about
the Bourbon movement, as they call it,
commenced to examine them, the Colonel
keeping up running and enthusiastic talk at
the same time that he picked out for me the
most important ones and the ones from the
most distinguished public men.
The Colonel also showed me book wherein
he had inserted the names of all who had writ
ten to him declaring themselves in favor of a
straight-out nomination. 1t was formidable.
and, to me, l must say surprising list. He
had them divided off into States. Texas SEEM
ed to take the lead; then New York, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Georgia, Mime,
sofa, Wisconsin and others followed the ones
named having the longest list.

Total. ...............6 "a

Thus even if we concede to Greeley all the
really doubtful States, which, added to those
reasonably sure for him, include the entire
south with the exception of the Carolinas
and Florida, he would have only 1S1 electoral
votes, four less than majority.
The above is the best possible showing for
the Democracy. The Republicans have as
good prospect to carry New York as have
the Democrats while Mississippi, Connecti-
cut, New Hampshire and California, with
total of twenty-five votes are almost sure for
Grant and Wilson. Leaving out of the ac-
count the effect of the Louisville Convention
and the cause of Mr.. Greeley is already hope
less-a fact that is becoming more and more
evident as November draws near.
