POLITICAL.
Gen. Butler Again a Candidate.


GLOUCESTER, Mass, Sept. 12.-Gen. Butler
addressed about 1900 people in this city this
evening, announcing himself as a candidate for
Congress- course he is impelled to take be-
cause of the troubled state of the South and his
improved health. After speaking at length
upon this topic, Gen. Butler passed to financial
matters, explaningeand defending his action and
votes. He thought it unwise that our bonded
debt should be paid in gold because thereupon
our bonds were Immediately sought as invest
ments in Europe. They went abroad by mil
lions upon millions aud We get in return large
ly articles of luxury not of necessity, inasmuch
that perhaps some 81, 500, 100000 of our debt is
now placed in foreign hands, to say nothing of
city, county and state debts, so that more than
$100,000,OO0 in specie go out of this country
every year to pay our interest. The effect upon
us has been an overstraned business, an over
stimulus to Importation, crippling manufac
lures aud increasing the value of our bonds UNI
til that bond which was bought for thirty cents
gold has now come up to $l.05, until the rate
OF interest which, up to that time, had not ex-
ceeded in this Commonwealth six per cent. in
large or extended investments, has now come
to be an average of nine to twelve per cent,
even when you mortgage your farm and house
to your savings bank. Taxation has become
nearly one third of the earnings and dividends
of ordinary business enterprise.
The proposition to increase the currency and
its by the President was next referred to,
and the speakers course for voting for expan-
sion defended. Nothing, said the Gen, could
have been more disastrous upon the interests
of New England in Congress than this binding
together o. her representatives under the fear OF
many of them that they would be broken dow Il
at home if they did not vote in accordance
with home sentiment as represented by the
press, thus throwing herself in the face of the
great West by what was deemed sectional
vote. 1t engendered more sectional strife in
Congress which will surely break out than has
existed there since the North and South di-
vded' on the question of slavery. The Gen
spoke two hours and was listened to attentively
Defeat of Moses.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 13.-The Republican
Convention nominated D. 81. Chamberlin fol
Governor; R. HI. Gleaves, the present incum-
bent, for Lieutenant Governor; r. b. Elliott
Chairman of the Executive Committee. Al
independent Republican Convention will b.
called as many delegates are dissatisfied.
The tax payers convention will probably en-
dorse the nomination of Chamberlin.

LADIES TEMPERANCE MEETING. is under
stood that several ladies, prominent members
of various religious denominations, will make
addresses this evening at Free street Baptist
church. When we state that Mrs. Hart and
Mrs johnson of Brooklyn, Mrs. MD. Moore
of New York, Mrs. j. M. Denman of Newark,
N. j., and Miss Frances e. Willard of Chicago
are the speakers, nothing further need be said
to ensure an overlooking audience. 1t is stated
that one of the ladies named has expended no
less than $4,000 in various benevolent enter
prises. What Portland lady stands ready to
follow her example? Although it is called a
ladies' temperance meeting, we infer that
gentlemen are not excluded, but that all inter
ested in the great cause are welcome.

A GooD JoKE.-A gentleman we'll known in
hairdressing circles recently purchased fine
red linnet, as he supposed, and paid therefor a
good price. Not long after making the pur-
chase he heard that he had been solo, the red
linnet being so by art and not by nature, as it
was naturally grey bird, and had been painted
for the occasion. An increased consumption Of
beer was the result.

Trouble between Russia and Germany.
New YORK, Sept 13.-The Worlds letter
from London of August 30th, says: hear from
source that commands my confidence, that
the disagreement between Russia and Ger
many, of which have already given you some
hints, is really serious. Russia was seriously
offended at the refusal of Germany to support
the Russian demands at the Belgian Congress-
and she was even more offended at the attempt
made by Germany to assume the role of arbi-
ter of Europe in the recognition of the Spanish
government. My information now points to-
ward a complicated intrigue whereby Russia
seeks to embroil France and Germany in
quarrel concerning the Carlists, and to use this
quarrel for purposes of her own.
