1.-The repeal of the disgraceful salary act.
Probably to the surprise of the advocates OF
this bill, the public sentiment against 1t does
not blow over, and even Butler finds it advis-
able to deny its authorship. The candidate
of the Maine Republicans for Governor is the
Hon. Nelson Dingey, Jr., who was nomina-
ted BY large majority on the first ballot"
i The New York Commercial Advertiser in
an editorial says
1.-The Maine resolutions express continued
confidence in the Republican party as "the
true party of Reform" Economy of Admin
istraton is demanded The grant Of public
lands or credit to canals or railroad is opposed.
The Credit Mobiler Investigation is approved.
Irrelevant amendments to appropriation bills
are denounced. The Salary Bill of the last
Congress, especially its retroactive features,
was condemned in strong language "as
gross violation of the pledges of the last Ma
tional Convention, and the immediate and I'M
conditional repeal of an act SO disgraceful to
Congress and odious to the people" was de-
manded. Mr.. Frye, member of Congress,
made a speech, and pledged the entire dele
CATION Of the State to vote for the repeal of
the bill. So Maine sets forth upon her march
to another Republican triumph. The ranks
of the party are closed up and the whole col
umn is inspired with confidence and hope.
There is no breaking away, no sign of disin-
tegraton. The Democrats and the liberals
are welcome to such cheer as this state of
things may encourage"
The York County Independent says
Although it would have been pleasing to the
citizens of York County tor the gubernatoral
nomination to have fallen upon their worthy
candidate, yet there is nothing to deplore in
the action of the convention which has placed
at the head of its ballot the name Of Hon.
Nelson Dingley, Jr of Lewiston.
Mr.. Dingley's connection with the public
in the various positions of responsibility and
trust which he has occupied, has reflected up
on him the highset honor. His name has new
er been defied by improper connection with
political schemes and measures, for he never
has descended to the level Of the demagogue.
The greater portion of the opposition in
years past, to his political advancement, has
had its origin in the thoroughness of his tenn
perance principles and the Jealous and unset
fish support which he has yielded to temper
ance legislation.
AS our next governor-a and his nomination
| in the present states of our politics is the GER
tain precursor to his eleclion-we may rely
upon him to protect the people against the
effects of party ard i'll timed legislation into
which our representative bodies too readily
l fall

LETTER FROM AROOSTOOh.
BALLS MILLS, MAPLEToN PLANTATION, !
lima

| BALLS MILLS, MApLEToN PLANTATION,
June 20, 1878.
| In July, 1860, Freeman L. Ball, of Hal
lowell, located himself at this point, and com
menced whiting out for himself and family
a reputation and fortune that should prove
reliable and permanent. He proceeded at
once to improve the water-power on the north
across his premises, building permanent
dam, and erecting a mill for the manufacture
of lumber, and soon had the satisfaction Of
furnishing building material of an improved
quality to the settlers for this part of the
county. At the same time, by the help of
his sturdy boys, he fclled the virgin forest
and put in crops that proved remunerative;
and so has continued to prosper up to the
present time, until he seems quite patriarch,
surrounded by his children and grand child
rem, revered and respected by all. His farm
he considers one of the best in the county;
and with an abiding faith that the Aroostook
railroad will surely pass near his residence,
he lives in anticipation of Witnessing city Of
no mean pretensons springing into existence
at an early day, within the sound of his din
ner- horn. In the adjoining plantation
Castle Hill-and in other near localities,
valuable iron ore has been discovered, a fine
specimen of which was furnished us by Mr..
Ball. All that is necessary to develop the
almost unlimited resources of this region
is cheap and rapid railroad communi-
cation with central Maine. At present the
surplus of productions i'll this county are
comparatively unavoidable on account of the
exhorbitant expense OF transportation to
remuneratiye market.
On the route between Presque Isle and this
place, we passed the spot where the murderer
Cullen was hung from a maple tree by the
roadside. II is gravely stated that Cullen
stole the rope with which he was found sus-
pended; and that as he was fleeing from pur-
suit of the officers Of the law he attempted to
climb the tree; but when near the top his
feet slipped, one end of the rope catching
upon the limb of the tree and the other about
his neck, thus suspending him in the air with
nothing to rest his feet upon. His grave is
to be seen in this plantation, near the side of
The road in what is called ''the swamp"-a
dreary looking place indeed for disposing of
the body of even murderer.
! The season in this locality is somewhat

These Spectacles are manufactured from "Mi-
mute Crystal Pebbles" melted together, and are
called Diamond on account Of their hardness and
brilliancy.
1t is well known that spectacles cut from Brazil
ian or Scotch pebbles are very injurious to the eye
because of their polarizng light.
Having been tested with the polariscope the dia-
mond lenses have been found TO admit fifteen per
cent less heated rays than any other pebble.
They are ground with great scientific accuracy,
are free from chrOmOtc alterations, and produce a

The reports of cholera are creating ac-
tive measures in the larger cities to pre-
vent the dreaded disease getting foothold
within their borders. There is still some
doubt whether this is the real Asiatic
cholera, but it comes so near it, that it is
best to keep it as far off as possible. Our
down east cities must not expect to escape
it if they neglect proper sanitary precau'
tons. When the cholera visited this
country before, the percentage of mortal
ty was greater in Bangor than in many
southern cities.

Some Of the democr ratio papers having
asserted that the Good Templar Lodges OF
the State controlled the republican nomi-
nation for governor, the Lewiston Journal
says: ''Thc fIimsiness of such criticism is
apparent when it is remembered that the
GOOD Templar Lodges of the State are
''n large part composed of women and
minors, and that of the comparatively
flew voters in them some are of demo-
'''cratic proclivities. Perhaps some of
''these ingenious critics can tell us how il
would be possible to do any political work
through such organizations, where every
''word said, or act done. would at once be-
come public property. As matter of
fact the subject, so far as we know and
"belieye, has not been alluded to in any
lodge in the State and no communion
'tion Of any sort has been had with a sin
'gle one of them. with reference to the
nomination. We do not know that a
dozen members Of such Lodges were in
1.-THE Convention. Let these plain facts
'show how much reliance is to be placed
"on criticism coming from such partisan
sources

The New York Times notices the fact
that many Liberals were in the Maine Re-
publican State convention, and reasons
thence that the same thing will be wit
messed in other States, and that the demo-
Gratis will find they have gained no
strength from the fraud of last year. Very
likely the Times is right, but what then be-
comes of the idea said to be entertained
by some democrats of trying to repeat the
Greeley programme in some of our State
elections? We should like to see it tried
in Maine.

Some OF the democratic papers are dis
gusted with the attempt of their party to
make political capital out of the back-pay
business, and tell their readers few
wholesome truths about the matter. The
Memphis Avalanche speaks very plainly as
follows:
CAT any time the democrats could have de-
feated it. A splendid opportunity to plant
themselves on the solid rock of virtue and re-
form was in their grasp. Did they avail them
selves Of it Not if the official records tell
the truth. A majority of them voted for the
infamous measure. Others, afraid to vote for
it, but yearning for their prospective share
of the robbery. lodged at rollcal and when
the bill became law rushed to the Treasury
to secure their extra money early, to avoid ac-
cidents."
