The Augusta Standard is curious to know
by what means the Bangor Commercial cop
led from and credited to the Oxford Register
an article recommending Hon. Joseph Tit
comb of Kennebunk, for the Democratic
nomination for Governor, adding thereto
cordial endorsement before it appeared III
the Register. We are Informed by one
of the leaders that it happened thus'-
The editor OF the Commercial, or some other
friend OF Mr.. Titcomb, anxious to secure his
nomination, wrote the article and sent it to
the REGISTER. preferring to have the move
ment originate among the rural Democracy
among the Oxford hills. At the same time
another copy was sent to the Commercial
with the understanding that it was to receive
the cordial endorsement of the Penobscot
Democracy. For some reason not yet known,
the article did not appear in the editorial col
umns of the Register that week. Prompt TO
its agreement, and without consulting the
Register, the Bangor organ published its
copy of the editorial and the endorsement. A
week later the Register published the origi-
nal. And this is the way the uprising of the
Democracy in favor Of leader is accom-
pished In this case it was a blunder, but

ACrJt;eaIs season.

Towards the close of the warm season the long
continued heat begins to tell upon body and mind.

that nature, after fighting gallant battle with de-
bilitating temperature dropping at last and requires

period of the year when course of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is especially useful. The immediate
effect of this unequalled vegetable restorative is to
and regulate the bowels and give steadiness and vgor
to the nerves. AS preventive of the endemic and
epidemic complaints that prevail at this season,
and as a remedy for indigestion, liver disturbance
debility, constipation, languor headach and
all Irregularities of the bowels, this pure and
wholesome vegetable tonic and alternative has no
equal among medicines.

The Case of the Union Pacific.

Harper's Weekly of August 9th contains
an editorial article entitled, "The Case of the
Union Pacific" having reference to the suit
begun in the name of the United States in the
federal courts at Hartford, and the injunc-
tons recently obtained against the payment
of interest on the bonds OF the company held
by the stockholders of the Credit Mobilier,
and the transfer of the stock in the names of
such parties to other parties. In many re-
spects the article is so unlike those that APP
pear in that able journal, that it will attract
the attention of the constant reader; while
the person who has made himself familiar
with the general history of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company and Credit M,bilier of
America can but notice that it has all the
marks of carefully prepared defense of a
skillful advocate rather than the calm discus
sion of the merits of the subject.
The article begins with statement of the
importance of the railroad to the Pacific and
the general interest of the country for its COM
pletion. 1t relates the difficulties of the work
and applauds the indomitable energy of
Messrs. Ames of Massachusetts and Durant
of New York in taking hold of the enterprise
and pouring into it their wealth when others
would not purchase bonds or stock of the COM
pany, until both were compelled to suspend
payment 1t complains that the government
has not kept faith with the company, which
by its fitful changes of policy has greatly in
jured the prospects of the road. When, how
ever, the writer comes to the contract made
by the directors of the Union Pacific com.
pany with themselves as the Credit Mobilier
to build the road, be passes over the matter
very lightly. He excuses this action ON the
part of these men as directors, on the ground
that no one else would take the contract for
building the road on any terms, which is not
the hest possible reason for these gentlemen
taking it themselves at exorbitant rates and
also including in their contract large portions
of the road already built and paid for. Nor
do we find any warrant in this fact that the
amount paid for the building of the road,
should double its actual cost.
The writer would have us believe that the
Washington officials are intent on the finan-
cial ruin of the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany when in fact its suit and injGnctions are
against the Credit Mobilier stockholders and
are brought pursuant to an act of Congress.
There is every reason why the friends of
these two corporations, whose unwaranted
transactions have been brought to light dur
ing the past year, should make an attempt to
bring them before the public in the best pos
sible light, and it is very clever in them to Sc
cure so able journal in which to appear as
parties unjustly prosecuted. The suit brought
by the Government may not result in its fav-
or, but it may afford tn country better
knowledge of the whole affair and warn both
Congress and the people against the pending
schemes of Government participation in rail-
road enterprise, however desirable they may

ONE of two things is evident-either that
our railroad leaders are not experienced gen.
erals or are not in dead earnest. No thor
ough soldier would, like President White, in
form his adversary that on such day and
such an hour he proposed to deploy his Skin
mishers and an hour later he would charge
the works of his enemy. If good soldier
and in earnest, he would have bounced upon
the Maine Central at about three o'clock in
the morning, cut the rails, made the connec-
ton aud entrenched. Then the offensive
military would have been thrown upon the
Maine Central, and what is better, the local
would have a first-class item. If these rail-
road gentlemen are really suffering for fight,
we advise them to go to the State Muster
which begins on the 10Th inst, and take a
few lessons in plain tactics. In this rather
dreary farce, what next?
