PAYMENT OF THE GENEVA AwARD-The
New York Evening Post says:
In regard to the payment, due September 49,
of the Geneva award by the British Govern
ment to our own, and which is made through
members of the syndicate for the negoti-
alton of the new tives, we are informed, on
good authority, that the transfer has been prac-
tically concluded, and that no further amounts
of gold will be withdrawn from the market to
be paid into the treasury.
The transfer has been going on gradually for
several weeks, which explain the decrease in
the specie held by the banks, as witnessed by
their statements for the past few weeks, includ-
ing that of Saturday.

A Nomination from the Floor.

TO THE HONEST VOTERS OF MAINE.
For too plain to argue, it is believed that
thousands Of honest voters in this State far from
being satisfied with the purposes of the candidates
of the two political parties in the field, are hope
less of any reform through them and to whom furth
er partizan alliance is felt to be useless and slavsh
sacrifice. Salvation alone come of better class
Of public men, men to whom the people instructive
ly turn as the types of personal honor, and whom
caucuses well nigh seem to despise.
To refrain from voting because discouraged and
disguised with partizan reckessness is what no good
citizen must longer do; and yet to get pure and
selfish men before the people by conventional means
seems impossible. To call them by the popular voice
is all that is left to do. Realizing this most deeply
and that not even the hamper of personal desires
and obligations shall attach to the movement it is
determined to present in this informal way to the
people of Maine the name of the
HON. JOS. H. WILLIAMS,
OF AUGUSTA,
PEOPLES CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.
cultivated gentleman, statesman of the truest
mould, and citizen whose name is the token of
private and public virtue it is believed that he must
SO fully appreciate the present political needs of the
country that he refuse the unsolicited suf-
frages of honest men. PER ORDER.

Mr.. CONGRESSMAN BIRD of New Jersey,
returns his back pay to the treasury with
fragment of interest which had accrued upon
portion of it which he had invested. There
was one thing possible meaner than to take
the back pay, after he had given his receipts
in full for salary monthly for two years, and
Mr. Bird has done it. To have lively at
tack of conscience after he found that the in
tensty of public disapproval made it an un-
profitable operation is piece of most disgust
ing charlatanry. The men who drew the pay
and kept it, defending their course on prin-
clple, are in infinitely better position than
these cheap jacks who attempt to recover
lost position by tardy restitution.

WHEN Mr.. and Mrs. Perry of Sherman,
Aroostook county, return to their fireside in
their rural town, there is every reason TO be-
lieye that there will be scene; for in the
murder trial now going on in Bangor, Mr..
Perry testified that his wife's reputation for
truth and veracity was generally bad in Sher-
man," and to make it more emphatic, added
that he "never heard any one say any good

REPORTERs AND PISTOLS.

In the case of a reporter arrested for car
rying concealed weapons, Col. Charles A.
Gill, judge pro tenn. ofthe City Court, gave
an opinion of general interest to Journal
ISIS and to the public. Treating the statute
forbidding the carrying of concealed wea-
pons as constitutional, he stated that the
statute makes exceptions Of those whose
occupation requires them to travel at
night, ''during such travel" A newspaper
reporter is required to travel by night. The
prosecution claimed that he had no right TO
carry concealed arms in the day time; but
. man following that calling, whose BUSH
ness requires him to travel by night, cannot
reasonably be required to go unarmed Sli
the day, when he may be in the far
thest end of the city, seeking that which
may be Of incaleulable benefit 10 the
public, when night comes, and his
weapon Is needed for his safety, since be
would then be required to leave bis bust
ness to seek his weapon, aud thus suffer
injurious delay. A reporter is thrown in
contact with all classes of men, and requir-
ed 10 visit al manner Of places, always
more or less in danger. As a reporters
"traveE' is partly by day and partly by
night, the Judges opinion was that he had
the right under tina statute 10 bear arms
during the whole of such Gravel

so clearly as to break down the dis.rust

the best men in their State they have added
the prestige of two success ful drawings in
which they have distributed nearly mil

July concert promises to be a grand sue

the certificate of their bank that they have

The Paw of Letser carriers,

The following article, taken from the
Washington Chronicle, is worthy the con-
sideraion of all fsir-minded people:
Now that the subject of increased sala-
ries is being agitated, we desire to call at
tentiOn to our letter-carriers. They receive
on entering the service $500, and the limit
| fixed by law is ST 900. And in considera-
ton of the carefulness required and the
prolonged hours Of service, they sh ~ d st
| least receive the pay of frst-class clerk.
| Clerks are at their desks six hours, and
many of them employ their leisure hours
in either bookkeeping, or newspaper writ
| ing, or photography, or teaching, by which
they earn, in addition, to their salary, from
| $40 to $50 month.
The leiter.csrrier must be at the Office at
Gas and remain ON duty till night, so that
no opportunity for extra wolk is afforded
him. II the carrier is five minutes late a
substitute is put in his place, and his pay
for whole day deducted. Absence on &C
count of sickness is also deducted. He is
also required twice during the Sabbath to be
on duty.
When bill was introduced year or two
since into Congress to make the pay OF
carriers all over the country $1,000, it was
opposed by Mr.. Dawes, upon the ground
that plenty of men could be found to fill
the places for less money. But some one
very pithily replied to him that the time had
not arrived when this Government would
put up its Offices at auction, but by paying
well to increase the efficiency Of the SER
wise, adding that plenty of men could be
found to fill his { Mr.. Dswes) place without
any pay, simply for the honor. 1t requires
as high an order of talents to discharge
faithfully the duties of carrier as those of
first class clerk. The promptness required
of them shows the Importance Of their pc
sition. A few moments spent in innocent
gossip, such as any clerk freely INDUCES in,
may delay letter announcing the severe
sickness Of dear one, and we lose the
train that would have permitted us to reach
the sick room and take parting look; or
business man has note to meet-s few
moments delay may close the bank, and
his note goes to protest.
Sobriety and honesty are necessary quail
i6catioDs, for great trusts are in their hands,
and valuable letters are constantly passing
through their hands. They are required to
give bonds in 81 900 when entering the ser
vice. Intelligence and quickness of per-
ception, and what Mrs. II. B. Stowe calls |
"fsculty," are very requisite, and also good
memories, for 1t is necessary to memorize a
third of all the mails, SO frequent are the |
changes in the city, and so many letters |
come without any number or street. The
Postmsster-G General, in bis last annual re-
port, recommends that the salaries of the |
heads of his bureaus should be largely in
creased, as they receive only $1,000 and |
$500, which sum, he says, is totally mad
equate to support their families here Ger |
tsiuly, then, the salary of 81 900 should be
largely increased, to enable the carrier to |
support bis family, with the liability of sick
ness.
