The epizootic Is in Paris.
The Republican journal., 1873-05-29

The Hon. w. w. Eaton, upon assum-
ing the duties of Speaker o! the Connecti-
cut House of Representatives said in his
speech: "Honored on previous oc-
casion as | have been again at this time,
with this important preference, it may
not be improper for me to say that | am
deeply impressed with the responsibilities
attaching to the position. AS partisan
| was elected AS partisan have been
elected Speaker of the House But now,
gentlemen, | am the organ of the House,
and It becomes me to say that the hour
for partisanship has passed away In the
construction of committees, and in the adj
ministration of that parliamentary law
necessary tor the proper government of
deliberative assemblies, pledge you in
advance just and impartial action; and,
in return, solicit, what | doubt not |
shall receive, support and confidence"
Such is the language of a democratic pre-
siding officer on assuming the gavel of
parliamentary authority These are words
ofgold. We are gratfied that a democratic
presiding officer has had the high minded
liberality to utter them. And we hope the
rebuke will be felt by those who have in
similar positions acted as though their
sole allegiance was due to party, to which
all other claims were to be subordnated.

A GHOST, AND WHAT CAME OF IT. An
Iowa newspaper asks the following conun-
drums:
''Do the spirits of the departed ever APP
pear upon the earth Are thew permitted
to return, and hold visible communion
with former friends DO they hover
about us ?" Now for the reason of these
interrogatories A young man died at
Princeton township, leaving q widow who
subsequently engaged herself to man
in California, with whom she had been
acquainted formerly. But No. appeared
to her, and lifting his finger said: post
pone Your MARRIAGE" He came again a
few nights after, and repeated his "Post-
pone your marriage. " She was very
much frightened, but her friends told her
it was the nightmare. Still the dead
husband kept saying the same thing
Then he appeared to the mother of the
lady, and this time he varied the monotony
OF the warning, for he said: "Have
Sarah's marriage postponed.' So the
poor widow wrote to her affianced and
had the nuptials put off Now, what came
next? What, but a San Francisco news
paper containing a marked account of the
arrest for robbery OF the California lover,
and of his incarceration for want of bail
Furthermore it spoke of his wife and
children as deserving of sympathy, and
assistance of the charitable. So ghostly
Number One did not appear for nothing :;
and the widow is, perhaps, in her graf
itude, more in love with her husband s
shade than she was ever with the sub
stance.

Affairs in France.

The change of rulers in France may or
may not be important That will depend
upon future Developments rather than up
on the fact itself. The change was ac-
complished under the forms of the const-
tntlon, and does no violence to any of its
provisions. The general opinion is that
the Bonapartists have small occasion for
their great oXultation at the prospect OF a
restoration of Imperialism, for the emper-
or is dead, the heir is a mere boy, and no
brain of the requisite power sind GOODNESS

a man came to the boat at Portland say
ing he had the body OF deceased person
to be forwarded to Bucksport, and that he
had brought it over the road from Boston.
1t was received and forwarded, but on
arrival at Bucksport it aodiscovered to

A Girl Shoots her UnoIe.

BALTIMORE, May 26. Miss Emma Me
kce, who on the 18th inst, made an I'M
successful attempt to shoot her uncle,
Oswald Mack, was more successful to-
day. Having obtained u warrant for his
arrest, charging him with abusive con
duet she accompanied the officer to Mack's
place of business to identity him. The
officer made the arrest, and rs they were
coming down stairs Miss Mckee drew a
double-harreled pistol from under her
shawl, and discharged both barrels into
the body OF her uncle, one taking effect in
the back and the other in the calf of the
right leo. The wounds are not ncces-
sarily mortal. Miss Mckee was arrested.

Border Troubles,

Information has been telegraphed from
Texas that the United States forces on the
Mexican border, weary of the watch of
depredating and fleeing savages, and in
dignant that the adjacent territory of Mexi-
co should be made a base for raids upon
the people of Texas, boldly crossed the
border. and by a forced march surprised
a settlement of hostile Indians, complete
ly whipping them out. We know not how
this act may be viewed at Washingto or
how the subtletes of diplomacy may be
applied to it, but there is no doubt what
ever that the invasion of Mexican territory
for the purpose was ustitiable, and that
the people of the country will demand
that Gen. Mckenzie, the commander, be
sustained. A government which know
ingly permits its territory to be used by
butchering and marauding savages as a
retreat from which to make torays upon
peaceable neighbors, has no reason to
complain if the injured party pursues the
government is too weak to prevent such
use of its territory by savages, the same
conclusion follows. The duty of the gov
eminent of the United States is TO protect
its citizens from any and all assailants.
and it IS much more likely to err on the
side OF torbearance than otherwise. We
think that the universal verdict of the
country will be that Gen Mckenzie has
acted properly, and ought to be sustained
Whether the administration will do it or
not, is another question.
The Census on Capital Punishment.
The pseudo-h umanitarianS. remarks
the Springfield Union. "who advocate the
abolition of capital punishment, are ad-
dicted to quoting mythical statistics from
the experience of Western States. as to
the advantages of Imprisonment over the
gallows as check to murder. Now these
same Western States never fail to furnish
enough statstlcts of the other kind and
OF equal value, to make tie, but careful
reasoners must regard such data as all
alike valueless material for valid Undue
tions. The United States census, however.
has something to say on this subject.
which has a little more authority. In
1850 there were in this country p execu
tons, and 227 murderers in a population
OF %, 1871 ,91G. In 1860 there were 80
executions and 9S9 murders in a popula-
ton of 81, 443. 32l, and in 1870 there were
81 executions and 2057 murders in a popu-
lation of 3, ops, $50. When one murderer
in each ten was executed there were only
ten persons in a million murdered When
we executed one murderer in every six
teen, the murders rose to thrtv-one in a
million, and when we executed one muir
derer in every sixtv-Six, the number of
murders was fifty three in a million.
These figures show that the smaller the
proportion of executions to the number of
murders, the larger the proportion of the
murders to the population. We fear the
advocates of the abolition of capital pun
ishment will find this very hard nut to
crack"

Attention is invited to the advertise
ment OF the fine carriages manufactured
by G. F. kimball & Co., of Portland.
The elegance and durability of the car
riages of this firm are unequalled. Mr.
kimball is himself master of the business,
and is aided by some of the best mechan-
les in the country. A gentleman of this
city who has for several years used one of
their .)nmp-seats, says he had previously
no idea that carriage could be made to
look so well after SO much wear and tear
james w. Walack, the famous actor,
died on Saturday in 4 sleeping car, while
travelling toward New York, from the
South. His disorder was consumption.
1t Is suggested that the Bowdonham
Bank robbers, now in State Prison, were
only after back pay when they invest-
gated that institution.

The author of communication from
Waldoboro', relating 20 the Baker murder,
forgot to send his name. And besides
there are serious charges against parties
who could have had nothing to do with
the affair. Miss Mank is accused of the
murder, and must stand or fall by her
own acts, and not by those of her family
connections.
The postal cars have got another bad
bit OF irregularity, and our exchanges OF
