persons WHO uau grievances OF any
magnitude brought suits in the
United States Courts, where they
are allowed to testify. In a large
number of cases the defendants to
those suits have been greatly an
noyed and their business has suf-
fered immensely by their having to
quit their homes and travel, in
some instances, over a hundred
miles, to confront their accusers.
Besides this. The expense of travel
ing, boarding, &C., has been con-
siderable. These facts have been
discussed and rediscussed in almost
every tavern and grocery in the
State. The only way out of these
troubles was for the Legislature to
pass the Testimony Bill, and it was
done, not as an act Of justice, but
for the reason stated. Traditional
proof is needed to show that the
spirit of justice does not dwell with
in her borders, it is found in the
part she took in the discussion on
the Civil Rights Bill in the United
States Senate. While speaking Of
that bill, a few days ago, Garrett
Davis, a gentleman whom Kentucky
has honored with two terms in that
august body, stated that he was un-
luai6edly opposed to that bill. |

COrIal o1OrtS Oh cOIOreO men.
An i'll odor attaches to the mem
bers of the lobby of Legislative
bodies, and perhaps justly, but
David Jenkins as the very oldest
member of the lobby of the Ohio
Legislature can challenge investiga-
ton into every act he has performed
in that capacity. He has influenced
Legislation much more than is gen.
orally supposed, and always with
an unselish purpose. He has
watched with jealous care the pre-
sentation of every petition for the
repeal of laws which bore oppres-
sively upon his people, and when
ever a motion looking to that end
was made, he was sure to be on
hand encouraging and counseling the
champion of justice.
There may be some disposed to
sheer at MIR. jenkins and underrate
his labors I, for one, would not
be afraid to trust the championship
of the colored mans cause to his
hands. He has been tried by op-
ponents of all sorts, and whether
the contest was one of wit or wis
dom, he has come off victor.
MIR. jenkins was a candidate for
in one o. the
Houses of the Legislature at its re-
cent organization, and was, I regret
to say, rejected.
Now, 1 am far from believing that
The chief end of man is to attain Of
ice. I know, also, the exigencies

adequate to The conversion Of the materials furnished
nv lie inorganic world into substances required for the
construction Of their bodies aud the maintenance cf
their powers. These inorganic substances must have
passed through intermediate stages Of combination,
ANA mast have been previously elaborated by other or
ganjsed beings. This important Office is assigned to
the vegetable kingdom. Receiving the simple food
furnished by nature, plants convert these ailments into
products, which not only maintain their oW0 vitality,
but serve the further purpose Of supporting The life OF
animals. Thus was the creation aud continuance OF
the vegetable kingdom a necessary step towards the
existence of the animal world, as well as a link in the
great chain of being formed and sustained by Almighty
power" Vegetables" says Liebig, "~produce In their
organism the blood of all animals, for the carnIvOra in
consuming the blood and flesh Of the graminivOra, CON
sume, strictly speaking, only the vegetable principles
which have served for the nutrition of the latter. The
animal organism is a higher kind of vegetable, the de
velopment of which begins with those substances with
the production Of which the life of an ordinary vegeta-
bic ends. The first substance capable of o~fording nu-
triton 20 animals, is the last prodGct Of The creative
energy of vegetables" The question here occurs,
what are these elements OF inorganic matter which are
thus taken mp by vegetables and passed on, as it were,
to animals for their nutriment? We may enumerate
as the chief amongst them-oxygeu gas and hydrogen
gas, which, combined in proper proportions, reliuquiSh
the gaseous form and become water nitrogen gas,
which, with a due proportion of oxygen, constitutes
the air we breathe; and carbon or charcoal, which, com
bined with a certain proportion OF oxygen, forms car
bonic acid, a gas which cannot be breathed without
detriment by animals. These four elements, in various
forms and combinations, afford a very large proportion
of the constituents OF the inorganic world. Oxygen
alone constitutes more than half of the material world.
Besides these, there are many others-as, sulphur, phos-
phorus, chlorine, iodine, fuorine, iron, potassium, So

volume of Familiar Letters on Chemistry There are
other works from which I shall borrow largely, espc-
ciaIly those of PrOfeSSOr Johnston, whose labOurS are at
the present moment working so heneiclnlly amongst
English AgricuIturiSts, and will repay the perusal of
any Of our own cOuutrymen.-though it must he con-
iessed, that their object being the application of science
10 art, in the hands Of British Agriculturists, much of
their matter treats of crops and cultivation different
from those which form our staple. My object will
be 10 select from these other Materials, observations
and principles which will apply directly TO such matters
as chiefly concern US, and demand our attention.
"To the possessor of Agricultural principles, :" says
Professor Johnston, in his excellent little work on the
Elements of Agricultural Chemistry, the notification

support Horace Greeley. Imagine Jefferson
democrat, an Andrew Jackson democrat, who
had been nursed on the truth that the world
is governed too much, and weaned on the
doctrines of free trade and State rights, vot.
ing for a presidential candidate whose chief
distinction is, that he has spent his life in
combating these doctrines. In the second
place, the Germans Of the country will oppose
the man who has always opposed the ideas
which brought them hither. 1t was great
grief to Carl Schurz when the nomination was
made, and there is a pathetic description by
a supporter of Greeley on record, Of how the
Missouri Senator poured out his griefs in song,
a grief too deep for words. Thirdly, no one
claims that the colored men will vote for Gree
ley. They 60 in solid body for the party
which freed and enfranchised them. The free
traders i'll feel little enthusiasm for the apos-
tie of protection, and lastly, the great republi-
can party unbroken and undiminished by the
succession of members less by far than it has
gained, will present united front in support
of the candidate of their choice. The nomi
nation of Greeley at Baltimore will be tor
pedo which will blow the democratic party
into fragments.

THE OLD EIGHT OF 1851.

General Butler stated it correctly in his
Fanueil Hall speech the other evening
when he said this fight between Grant and
Greeley is the old fight OF 1851. The re-
pubhcans will find opposed to them the
same men, the same party, that opposed
them and the government at that time.
Those who favored jeff Davis and secess-
ion then are for Horace Greeley now. If
he could be elected the rebels who We're
beaten on the field Of battle would have
possession of the government, and the
loyal men who saved it from destruction
wonld be obliged to take back seats. In
the position which he proposes to take as
the head of the democratic party Mr..
Greeley is but the instrument to restore
the followers Of JEFF Davis to power. but
he will be met by those who conquered
Davis. and his defeat will be as complete
and ignominious as that of the rebd chief
1t is the old fight of 1861.

James Brooks being chosen orator, an invita-
ton was extended to all the prominent demo-
Gratis Of the country to be present.
President Grants estimate Of Senator John
A. Logan is given by contemporary as fol-
lows: "When some one said to President
Grant that Senator Logan seemed rather in
clined to complain of the Administration, the
President smiled and answered that he knew
Logan we'll. He is critical by nature, he said,
and always speaks his opinion. During the
war; said General Grant, while we lay in
camp, nobody commented more sharply upon
the little slips and blunders than John Logan ;
but when the order came to march, no corps
was in more perfect order, none moved more
promptly, and none were more bravely led
than John Logan's. He will criticise the Ad-
ministration just as often and as sharply as
he chooses, but he will give no aid or COM
fort to the enemy"

LETTER FROM CAMDEN.

ARRIVAL or yIsIToRs,-CAR MAsuFAcrUR-
1NG-ExCITINe Caucus.
Already visitors and pleasure seekers have
come to town to enjoy the mountain scenery
and boating facilities Of this charming sum-
mer resort The Ebay View" has been new
new carpets, and furniture. A large number
of the rooms have been engaged for the sea-
son, but number of desirable ones are still
left. As soon as the season fairly begins,
Camden will assume its wonted activity.
The business Of the place. constantly in
creasing. d. Knowlton & Co., are erecting a
building for the manufacturing of passenger
cars. The Company now have facilities for
making FIVE freight cars per week including
the wheels. They also manufacture railroad
spikes. The cars made by this company are
one ton lighter than others, and capable of
carrying as much freight. Fifty-four of their
make are now in use on the E. & N. A. R. r.
Carleton Norwood & Co., are building a new
lime kiln. The Anchor Factory have orders
ahead of their work. Improvements and re-
pairs are being made on the roads and dwell
lings throughout the village. Labor is in
demand. Everybody is at work.
Last Tuesday one of the most exciting eau
cuses that Camden ever had, was held here.
The object of the caucus was to elect dele
gates TO the Congressional Convention to be
holden at Ellsworth, June q. The Hale
delegates, T. r. Simonton, y. H. Bisbee,
lothian Sheppard, Amos Barrett and f. G.
S. Ingraham were elected over the Knowlton
delegates by majority of fifty. Much
interest was manifested in the election on &C.
count of the Custom House. T. R. Simonton
has done his work faithfully for twelve years
in the capacity of Custom House officer ant
nothing attests his popularity more than thu
large majority which he received, as chairman
of the delegates. Knox county, with the ex
ception Of Appleton, will probably send Hal
delegates to the Convention. Among tn
? Knowlton delegates were some Of the leading
+ citizens, but the opposition was not stronl
h enough to win over the friends of Mr.. Simon
) ton. Hon. James G. Blaine is expected t
: stump this Congressional District for Hale
/. re election, and doubtless the campaign wi
be one of the most exciting in Maine. Anon
= Knowlton's friends are some strong men VIII

FOR GOVERNOR.
SIDNEY PERHAM.
ORGANIZE! ORGANIZE

Republicans should commence the work
of orr anization at once, where they have
NOT already done so. Clubs should be
formed in every village, campaign papers
should be circulated. doubtful persons
should be seen, and the books accurately
posted now and kept so until the
campaign is ended. The foe we have
to fight is the same old democratic party
with Horace Greeley for decoy duck.
It Is trick to catch unwary republicans.
Close organization and plain talking will
defeat this democratic game.

LETTER FROM BOSTON.
WORLDS PEACE JUBILEE.

WORLDS PEACE JUBILEE.
BosToN, June oath.
The jubilee has entered upon its second
week. Thus far it has not been success.
financially, bu. those who have been in to the
entertainments pronounce it fully equal to
their expectations. The gross receipts for
the first week were $350,OOO. The price has
been reduced from five to two dollars, and
one dollar for entrance tickets. This reduc-
ton in the price will give many chance to
go to the Jubilee, who when the price was
FIVE dollars looked long while at the note
before parting with it.
The Sacred Concert on Sunday afternoon
was r splendid success, more suitable, how
ever, for week day than for Sunday. Mad
anne Peschka Leutner of Germany was en-
cored and received with deafcning cheers.
The audience was so enraptured that when
performing some of the most pleasing and
difficult parts her voice was drowned with
cheers. The colored Jubilee singers from
Nashville, Tenn, numbering fifteen, judging
from their reception. were the most success
iui III HdnlhS all ithKressiou upon the auui-
ence. They were obliged to come back the
third time amid the cheers of the audience
The last time they sang "Roll, Jordan, Roll v
and only the lateness Of the hour and the
length of the programme prevented the audi
ence from giving them another encore. Ward
Beecher says that the Jubilee will do more
towards settling differences than the Geneva
conference can. However that may be, it
did seem when those negroes were singing
their sweet songs before representatives of
the whole world, that a great revolution had
taken place during the past ten years, in our
own loved America. In the Boquet of Art
lists we noticed the names of four Maine la
dies; Mrs. II. n. Wetherbee, Mrs. Mabel
Burnham, Mrs. Louise S. Mariner, now of
San Francisco, and Mrs. Alice C. Staples.
President Grant and members of his Cabinet
are coming Tuesday, but no public reception
will he given.
