[UTrNY ON A MAINE BARQUE. "A

MUTINY ON A MAINE BARoUE.--A dispatch
from Halifax gives the subjoined account of
mutiny on hoard the barque c. A. Littlefeld,
of Bangor: A
A mutiny occurred on board the American
baroue G. A. Littlefield, Capt. Carver, which
arrived here on Monday from Liverpool The
crew of the barque was originally shipped at
New Orleans, and among the number were
some pretty rough characters; two especially
had to be constantly watched-one Texan the
other a New Orleans Thug. The officers of the
barque took the precaution to be well armed.
Six DAYS after leaving the channel, and when
everything appeared quiet, the mate, who was
standing aft, was attacked by the Texan, who
stabbed him in the back with long. sharp
dirk. The mate turned and fired at the assaii-
ant the shot taking effect in the Texans right
wrist. That settled the ruffian, who retreated,
uttering threats and imprecations. Several of
the crew, headed by the Louisanan, then made
a rush forward to attack the captain, but were
met by discharge from the officers revolvers.
The Thug fell to the deck, wounded in the
head, and the ringleaders being thus disposed
of the others quietly submitted and went below
in obedience to orders. The wounded men were
taken and put in irons. No further trouble was
experienced with the crew for the remainder of
the voyage The captain and first mate of the
baraue are brothers. The prisoners are still on
board the barque and will probably be sent to
the States for trial. ta

like to know if the Argus has not been ''go-
ing for Greeley" for good many years.-AT-
gus. ...lst. es- ia d.
Yes. And the infamy of its course, those
s'good many years. is only equaled by the
shamelessness with which it now confesses its
turpitude.-Bdth Times. -ss EE.
THE Maine Standard does not follow the
Argus in its hilarious endorsement of the
Cincinnati nomination, but says:
1t is fact not to be disguised that the de-
mocracy are surprised and disappointed at
the nomination of Horace Greeley as the Lib
beral Republican candidate for the Presiden-
cy by the Cincinnati Convention. He has
been one of the most prominent supporters
of the Republican party since its organization,
the leading spirit, in fact, in giving tone and
direction to the Republican press of the coun-
try, not only in supporting that party and its
measures until within brief period, but in
opposing and denouncing the Democratic
| party. During these long years of exciting
political warfare, he has said many severe
| and bitter things of the Democracy and in
| spired the same spirit of invective
| among the lesser editorial lights of his party.
1t is but natural that his position and course
in the past has engendered more or less I'M
kind feeling and prejudice towards him
among democrats, anu as tley were not eX-
pecting his nomination and We're unprepared
for it, they are disappointed, and if they were
to be governed by prejudices engendered dur
ing past struggles over issues now settled for
ever, his reputation by them would be in
evitable. But the Democrats will rise above
all personal prejudices, calmly consider the
new situation in which they find themselves
placed, and act as becomes q great national
party devoted to the principles of Constitu-
tional government and are determined to de-
vote their energies to the best interests of
their country under any and all circum-
stances. "a

The Eastern argus having run the nan es of
Greeley and Brown, seems to entertain some
apprehension that the National Democratic
Convention may nominate ticket. We ad-
mire the argus ardent devotion to Greeley;
but we cannot forget that its love is sometimes
tickle and not lasting. Its position for Grant
in 1867 flowed fercely, but when the ides of
November. 1868, came, poor Grant was discard

THE Belfast Republican (Democratic) in
speaking of the eager haste of the argus in
scampering out of tie Democratic party and
taking the front rank in the Greeley party,
says:
Democratic papers have sometimes indi-
Gated their preference for candidate in their
own party, by thus placing his name before
the public, with the saving clause '.Subece
to the decision of the Democratic National
Convention" But this is the first time, we
think, that Democratic paper has given the
place of honor to the nominees of another
party and committed itself irrevocably to
their support. The general opinion is that
have something to say upon the question of
the candidates.
The Argus is no longer Democratic paper,
1t endorses the platform of the Cincinnati
Convention, declares for impartial suffrage,
rejoices i'm the fifteenth amendment It says,
really: @
''This is the way long have sought
Aud mourn because found it not"
1t declares, in all the enthusiasm of its
miraculous conversion, that it will walk no
longer in the ways of sin. 1t recognizes that
the Democratic party, like slavery and the
Rebellion, are things of the deadpast and
should have died with the emancipation
proclamation or at Appomatox, with the
disbanding of Lees Democratic soldiery.

INTERESTING TO SICK CLERKs.-The Court of
Claims at Washington Wednesday rendered
judgment in the case of Joseph A. Ware against
the United States for the claimant. Mr.. Ware
was a Treasury clerk, and his salary was locked
$50 for absence by reason of sickness, notwith-
standing physicians certificate was produced.
Mr.. Ware commended that the Secretary of the
Treasury had no legal right to deduct from his
salary, and that the physicians certificate was
unnecessary, but, if produced, was conclusive
of the duty of the Secretary to pay his salary
as provided by law. The Court decided for the
claimant on both grounds.

AMERICANS will not be disposed to look
with marked disfavor on the Carlist insurrec-
ton in Spain, especially as the Republicans
under the lead of Castelar, seem disposed to
profit by the disturbances. King Amadeus
may be very worthy, amicable Italian youth.
But he has failed both in bis efforts to pro
duce content at home, or to pacify Cuba.
Indeed. the latter has become practically au-
tonomous, so far as Spain is concerned. The
tyrannical volunteers care no more for Anna
deus and Valmaseda and their authority than
they do for Louis Napoleon in his Chiselhurst
retirement. If the present disturbance in the
old country results either in giving the Repub-
licans the lead or in setting up some govern
ment that will abandon Cuba or control it,
the people of this country will rejoice greatly.

The DAWES TARIFF BLL.-In addition to

cents and "a cents TO cents and II cents; on
pig iron, IA per cent, or from 81 per ton to So;
on lumber, so per cent, or from 20 per cent. to
10 per cent. on books, 20 per cent, or from %
cents to 12a cents per pound, and on periodicals
and newspapers from 25 cents to cents per
pound. The following additions to the free
list are also left: Tea and coffee and hides.
On the bulk of the remaining articles, a reduc-
ton of ten per cent is made, which, on wooden
goods and carpets, is much less than the origi-
nal bill provided.

REvoLUrroNARY TENDENCIEs.

We know of no process by which hui
man nature can be analysed as matter
is. fit could be, it would be interest
ing to put representative Mexican
through the mill. We should find some
curious ingredients, that is certain. The
proneness OF the race for revolutions
has become chronic, or it may be an ele-
ment of character. Certain it is that
no system of government or OF admins
tration can please them. Iii not alone
among the ignorant that dissatisfaction
eliminates in an appeal to arms, but the
educated participate. 1t is generally
conceded by people that there can be no
stable government in Mexico, and that
so long as it attempts to govern itself, 1t
will kill off its population about as fast
as it comes into the world. They have
a real revolution now raging most blood
lily in the northern part of the country.
Nobody knows what it is about, or
cares to know. All we know is
that such thing as submitting to
constitutions and laws is something
a Mexican never thinks of. Revolution
is his remedy for all things. We fear
the same disposition is beginning to crop
out among the black population of the
Southern States--a disposition to sub
stitute their appetites and passions for
the rule of law. During the last five
years we have had deplorable instances
of this tendency. The recent events in
Chicot county, Arkansas, indicate
rapid tendency to disorder, wherever
thay possess superior numbers. Even
now, in Mcintosh county, in Georgia,
the conduct of the negroes is becoming
so threatening that the whites are com
PEELED to arm in salfdefense. All these
symptoms seem to indicate that the col
ored population care little for law when
it runs against their passions. The next
thing is revolution. Instead of encour-
aging this tendency, as mean whites
have done. it should be the aim of Gov
eminent and people to discourage it, and
prevent the bloody scenes Of Mexico
from traRsplantation to our Southern
soil
