The Vigilance and efficiency OF our DO

manner Wednesday night A Young
couple, who had been married during the
evening by the Rev Mr. Wheelock. retired
for the night to Il room in their boarding
house, but had not been there long when
two blue-coated guardians Of the citv's
peace forced their way into the house in
spite OF remonStrances and protests, entered
the room where the couple We're, and
dragged the young couple from their bed
charging them with the crime OF toInica-
ton. Cnhappily we cannot say that this
invasion OF his rights as a citizen and Il
husband neryed the young mans arm with
such yigor a to enable him TO thrash both
the trespassers soundly and then throw
them through the window Instead Of
adopting this heroic method, he produced
his marriage certificate. thinking that
would give him ample protection, but the
Jealous Dogberrys would not WELD their

the night the police were assured

| An interesting case was tried III Fort

District Court Rodney Fogg, who holds
a fat office at one of the granite quarries
on the coast. and whose zeal for the sue
cess Of his party is in proportion to his
salary. was at his home in Augusta on the
day Of the September election lie was
very active about the polls, in promoting
the success OF the party Of high moral
principles. In course OF the day he held
interviews with two men by the names Of
Wood and Brett. Those intelligent free
men voted the radical ticket They swore
that Fogg gave them $40 apiece Tor so
| doing. The laws Of the United States de-
| clare this to be serious offence. There
was no testimony introduced for the de-
fence, save that Wood and Brett were
rather hard eases. AS matter of fact it
might well be conceded that men of high
character do not sell their votes. 1t was
not denied that Fogg conyersed with these
men before they voted, and paid them
money afterwards. But in criminal mat
ters the accused has the benefit of any
doubt that may arise Somewhere in this
case the jury found one-just where, is
not perceptible to the minds of outsiders
But as soon as that doubt was discovered,
Fogg was acquitted We do not read

over a few things has been made ruler
over many things. But in the tullness Of
time he should have his reward tor con-
ver>lng before election with two voters
who are not to be believed under oath,
paying them $40 apiece, and yet not brib-
ing them Such stern integrity, unfalter-
ing regard for law, and touching and ten
der respect for the purity of the franchise
is worthy Of all admiration.
There be those who have doubted the
perpetulty of our form of government.
Dlsbelieyers in popular franchise have pre-
dicted that it would go down before the
open loodgates OF corruption, and the
country be betrayed by voters with bal
lot in one hand and in the other green
back at ten per cent discount We point
these doubling Thomases to two recent
historical spectacles. Let them consider
those Lynn shoemakers at work in the
Charlestown navy yard, and discussing
whether the ships planking should be
sewed or pegged to the tinbers Then
let them reflect on Fogg, interviewing
those Augusta treemen on their way to
the polls, and disnssing them with his
blessing, to vote as patriotism may die
tate, and afterwards amounting their palms
with 80 in currency. Who can con
template these things, and despair of the
republic

We won't say that a radio

We won't say that a radical paper
never corrects a misstatement. Many OF
them do so, upon having attention called
to the matter. But we are grieved to say
that the Bangor Wing is not OF that num-
Der. ltrecently announced that PASSIONS

so indecent that the authorities of Boston
had suppressed it in the interest OF public
morality. The Wing has never contradict

its appearance. On the contrary it has
ever since sinned against light and knowl-
edge by refusing to set the matter right
We regret that paper making such strong
claims to responsibility and fairness, should
so equivocate and lend itself to deception
But such is one Of the phases of poor hui

The history of the disturbance al Nicks-
burg does not materially differ from that
OF other difficulties in localities in which
the radicals and carpet baggers have had
ascendancy. Dishonest officials were band
ed to protect each other in fraud The
oifice-holders were in many cases CON
victed criminals; the Governor was mex
cusable in appointing bad men; and the
people were without protection from fraud
and robbery. The colored sheriff, one
Crosby, with the custody of 100000 in
taxes, had given bond not worth the pa
per it was written on. The citizens very
properly moved for an injunction to stay
his proceedings; and it was at this point
that the batfled sheriff called on the igno-
rant negroes OF the surrounding country
to come to his support. There could be
but one method by which to meet such an
lnroad as that, especially when Coy Ames
had shown his weakness and incapacity by
virtually encouraging the negro usurper
The white people had reason to fear the
worst from such an invasion. The leaders
of the negro mobs declare that Crosby
called them out, and the usurping sheriff
insists that Gov. Ames gave him authority
to do So But behind Ames is the radical
plan of carpet baggery, fraud and robbery
at the south, supported from Washington.
1t is the legitimate fruit Of the tree that
bears it. Nothing of the kind happens in
North Carolina, nor in Georgia, where
under Democratic ascendancy the two
races live in peace and harmony. The
time has come for this rascality and rob-
berry to stop and stop it must
