The Geneva Arbitration.

New YORK, Aug. 26. A Geneva special
says that the business of the Tribunal is
drawing to a close, and decision is ex-
calculating the amount of damages occa-
stoned by each cruiser. When this is
completed the Arbtrators will render their
decision, first whether England is respon-
sible lor each cruiser, and being RESPONSE
bic as to the sum she should pay. The
case of the Shenandoah eXcites an earnest
contest. The Americans are pressing the
case and asking damages for the destluc-
ton of the whaling ships. The Georgia

TIE BANGOR MYSTERY The BanrO

THE BANGOR MYSTERY The Bangor
Wing learns that Mr.. Mccarthy. the man
who was found drowned in the Kendus-
kcag, had been out collecting bills on
Wednesday, and his friends state that as
near as they can Judge he had over $500
in money on his person that evening. Be
sides the calf-skin wallet which was found
on the wharf, he was in the habit of carry
ing a long pocket-book in his breast
pocket, in which he usually put his money
This cannot be found, and putting the
facts together, it seems most likely that
Mr.. Mccarthy was decoyed down upon
the wharf-perhaps to look at some stone
in the stone-yard-by some rutlian, who
after knocking him down and rtling his
pockets of his hard-earned money, threw
his insensible form into the stream where
he was found. Several persons report
hearing shouts about one o'clock Thurs
day morning, and it is possible that he
uttered them in a struggle for life The
whole affair is shrouded in mystery, and
creates much excitement. McCarty's
friends believe he was murdered, and say
they will spare no effort in ferreting out
the murderer.

A Cider Fanatic Nominated.

The nomination Of George Z. Bracket
for Register of Deeds in this county was
brought about by the schening Of those
who synpathize with and are determined
to carry out the outrageous cider prohibi-
ton, both present and contemplated. We
quoted recently the declaration of one of
the prohibition papers ofthe State, that the
next Legislature will wholly prohibit the
sale of cider. Bracket goes with the ex-
tremest of this class, and his election would
be claimed as proof of a public sentiment
in favor of this foolish Legislation. Every
farmer who would see the rights Of
orchardist protected, should decline to vote
for him.

The fact is, they have not been converted at

simply for this reason that they are not per-
mitted to enter into this canvass rs public
speakers.
The truth is that so many disguised re-
publicans are ready to testify against the
iniquities of the Grant party, that no other
speakers are needed. When such men as
Trumbull, Schurz, Farnsworth, Banks, and
Tilton are ready to relate their recent
knowledge of Grants unltness, why
should Democrats state what they ALWAYS
knew?

ed them that he then held seven Spanish
officers prisoners; that il was not his Gus

willing to parole them on one condition.
That condition was that Gen. mclan and
his aid-de-camp be liberated. 70 Gen

Commissioners then informed him that
they regretted that ii was out OF their pow

cause the patriot prisoners had already
been Shot. Gen. Agramonte then invited
the Commissioners to breakfast, and gave
orders to his chief of staff to have all the
prisoners shot at once. When the firing
was heard, Gen. Agramonte turned 10 his
guests, and regretted that he could not
comply with their wishes, because the
Spanish officers were already shot"

hand with cordiality. Il am delighted to

magnat, "that you have me at an advau-

"And, to toll the truth" said the other
gentleman, 'tmy remembrance of ever hsv-

gray mutton-chop whiskers, and after a
word or two on the weather and scene, he
suddenly said
