kr1nioahOAhIlON.
The sensation of to-day is the gathering be
tween and entertainment of the Committee
OF the Maine Historical Society and their
guests, with the officers of the U. S. steamer
McCulloch from field-day service at Monhe-
gan and Damariscove Islands. 1t is stirring
novelty in the history of Wiscasset, noted for
the intelligence, courtesy and hospitality of
its citizens of the past age, and which the
present would emulate
The gentlemen of the Maine Historical So
cety, their guests from abroad, with an intelli-
gent and accomplished artist, promptly en-
barked on the arrival of the morning trains,
taken on board in the boats of the McCulloch
served by the courteous officer, and efficient
crew of that ship which lay with steam up in
the center of the lake-like harbor.
The piping of the shrill whistle of the
boatswain, the eating of the anchor, the quiet
activity of her admirably handled crew, and
the splash and surge of the great wheels with
the gushing steam, soon gave life and motion
to all around
SHAPING THE VOYAGE.
From the surrounding heights and head
lands OF the-Sheepscot, the ship entered the
waters Of "Cape-man-wagon," the scene of
Captain Levitt's voyage of 1924, passing in
full sight of the Sheepscot entrance of the
ancient by-river "Sasanaw," Tor ''Sasanoa")
leading to Bath-the ''Krangan'' passage to
the harbor of Boothbay, Indian Town Island
and Cape Harbor;" and when off and in full
view of "Sagadahoc beach," and the head
lands of 'Erascohegan,' the ship bore away,
for the S. w. sound entrance to Booth
bay Harbor, passing between the Cuckoids
and the harbor end of Damariscove. The
field-day services of the Society were to be
upon Monhegan Island. and what, in the ear
ly annals of New England were known, as
"DamorilPs Isles" and for Monhegan, the
ships course was shaped so as to pass be-
tween Squirrel and Fisherman's Islands of the
Damariscove Archipelago, and around the
northern head of Fisherman's Island,
through the north east sound entrance to the
harbor, so as to observe the cliff side of its
little harbor, and the little island adjoining,
under which the harbor Law.

RAcKERBY OF RAcKERBY's s-This gen.
tlemau spoke in Shasta on Monday evening.
The appointment was written in lampblack
and sweet oil on sheet Of brown paper.
Learning that the Colonel proposed to ego
for the scalp" of our Reddins correspond
ent and also of ourself, and not feelingdesir-
Gus of being present when the depilitating
process was going on, We discreetly gave
the Court House wide BERTH With our
usual enterprise, we had a special artist and
reporter on the spot, whose synopsis Of the
speech will be found in another column.
1t will be seen that "Doc" rose with the
occasion, that plain prose could not convey
the eloquence of the Sage of Rackerby's,
SO he has given it in the form of "pome" :"
We learn the Harmonic" design inviting
the Colonel to repeat his speech as an after
piece to their next entertainment. On
Tuesday morning the Colonel left US for
Rsckerby's Landing, highly pleased with
with his reception in Shasta.

Sec. Al. Every person charged with the per-
formanee of any duty under the provisions OF any
law of this State relating to elections who wlfuly
negects refuses to perform it, or who in his Of
fetal capacity knowingly and fraudulently acts in
contravention violation Of any of the provisions
of such laws is, unless different punishment for
such act or omission is prescribed by this Code
punishable by fine not exceeding one thousand
dollars, or by Imprisonment in the State Prison not
exceeding five years, or by both,
Sec. AZ. Every person who willfully causes,
procures, or allows himself to be registered in the
Great Register of any county, knowing himself not

by fine not exceeding one thousand dollars. or by
imprisonment in the County Jail or State Prison
not exceeding one year, or by both. In all cases
where, on the trial of a person charged with any
oense under the provisions Of this section, it ap-
pears in evidence that the accused stands register
ed in the Great Register of any county without

er treights or passengers, and requires the
company to take and deliver freight and
passengers to and from the city without
extra charge.
Can any honest aud candid man point
out any privilege or property which the
Central Pacific would acquire under the
foregoing bill for which it would. not be
required to pay full equivalent; which
would not be equally open to every other
company that might ever desire to run its
road to tie city by that route and which
would not be convenience and benefit
to every passenger and business man and
farmer in the interior OF the State who
might wish to travel or ship ton of freight
to or from San Francisco ? You cannot
now send or receive ton of freight to or
from the city without paying one dollar for
tolls and wharfage, and if it lies on the
wharf twenty four hours additional charges
for storage. You cannot take hack at
any steamer landing in the city to convey
yoa to hotel without paying your twenty
five cents wharfage in addition to the fare.
1t will be said these tolls are imposed by
State law and not by city ordinance. That
is true, but they are imposed by State law
only as your county taxes are-the money
received from them all goes to taking care
of the water front, wharves and harbor of
San Francisco, not to the State.
Ifthe producers of the State are to re-
ceive the largest possible returns for the
products of their labor, the cars and ships
must come together at deep water. Freight
must go directly from one to the other with
out intervening drayage, warehouse and
wharf charges. The San Francisco termi-
nus of all roads which carry the products
of the interior to the markets of the world
must be at deep water, and the "Goat Island
Bill' was the first and only rational move
ment yet made in this State in that direc-
tion. To ask the voters of the interior of
this State to vote against Mr.. CoghIan for
his vote on that measure, is to ask them to
punish themselves that few toll gatherers
and warehousemen in San Francisco may
thrive and fatten, and that the spleen of a
tcsty old man, who happens to owna news
paper, may be grati6ed by levying an un-
necessary tax upon their own industry.

suppression of the Chinese Cooie Trade
We ask cur readers to give the speech a
perusal, and then contrast its facts and

Democratic Convention father. The one

to remedy an evil in the only true way the
other the shift of a demagogue to stir up
evil passions and incite men to the com
mission oflawless acts, that he may acquire
a little cheap popularity.

REPUBLICAN MEETING.-The largest
and most enthusiastic meeting of the cam
paign was held at the Court House Son
Wednesday evening. DR.. Benjamin Shurt-
lefRwas chosen Chairman, and on taking
the chair opened the meeting with few
appropriate remarks. Hon John NJ Cogh-
Ian was then introduced and spoke, mainly
In reference to his record as member of
Congress. The Goat Island Bill, the rea-
sons for its introduction, the necessity for.
a railway terminus at deep water, the votes
of johnson, Ax'ell and Sargent in 1868.
and $50. the approval of the Sacramento
onion and the San Francisco Bulletin, OF
the cession of Goat Island for terminal
purposes at that time, and the reasons why
those journals have so suddenly changed
front, were given in language which car
ried conviction to the minds of the audi
ence. We could not help wishing that
every Republican in Shasta county was
present, to hear the truth concerning this
measure, which the Union is so foully
misrepresenting As the most malevolent
opponent OF Mr. Coghlan can find nothing
but this one vote to cavil at, We are glad
to be able to have the bill itself to again
lay before our readers, that they may COM
pare its provisions and intentions, with the
reasons why it received the support Of our
representatives. There are other monop-
olios in this State than the Central Pacific
and those who heard Mr.. Coghlan must be
satisfied that his vote on this question was
given in the direct interest of the people.
Senator De Haven, of Humboldt, accom-
panies Mr.. Coghlan on his trip but was
