Two SORTS OF POLITICIANS. Brooks
Adams, youngest son of Charles Francis Al
ans, has something to say in the last number
of the North American Review on the new
party Nearly all the members of this remark
ably talented family manage TO keep INSTANT
ly before the public. We would say that they
a e politicians in the best sense of the term.
They profess opinions and advocate doctrines
from the standpoint of deep conviction. If the
pubic should ne to their way of thinking,
preferment would naturally follow. This is
very different line of operations from that gen.
eraliy adopted by the Logans and the Carpen-
tiers OF the epoch They spend their DAYS hunt
ing for popular caprices, and when they have
found them, weighed and calculated them, be-
come their exgonents, and secure office by the
trick.-Sdn Francisco Bulletin.

pagn which hardly promises the excitement
OF an ordinary shirmsh, is conspicuously I'M
necessary. 1t is the sort of thing that our
Democratic contemporaries in this state in
dulge in that the faithful may be stirred up;
but they have come to look upon it as some
thing in the nature of false alarm and now

weather, too, and it makes nervous people
feel apprehensive and disagreeable to sea evil

The Maine Editorial Excursionists.

The editors and their friends who have been
disporting themselves among the hills and
lakes of New Hampshire returned through
Portland Saturday noon. travel-stained, sun
burnt and dusty, but happy and undoubtedly
refreshed in body and spirit for their work at
home. They had good time all the way
around, especially in the White Mountains,
and tell very fair story at their own expense.
1t seems that when they drove up in coaches to
the Glen House and dismounted with some
parade, each adorned with the handsome white
and gold badge of the Association, lady on
the piazza asked her companion who they were.
He, a somewhat gruff old codger, answered in
a tone audible to them, "Some set of id
deadheads or other" This was near enough
the fact to be received with delight by the VIC
TINS. Friday night was spent at Wolfboro',
where in the evening the Association was
called together in the spacious parlor of the
Pavilion Hotel, with the genial Holman in the
chair, and the following series of resolutions
were unanimously adopted:

"CooNs. Baltimore american pub
fishes an account of great coon hunt in
Middle River Neck, in which the sportsmen
engaged were George Jones and Duckett, of
Baltimore county. In two nights they kill
ed twenty-seven, and thereupon claimed the
championship over Mr.. Scarf and his friends,
of Hartford, the account of whose exploits in
coon hunting was given two weeksago The
manner of proceeding adopted by the Balti-
more county sportsmen was us follows, ac-
cording to the american:
Jones got a pyrotechnist TO manufacture
great lot OF rockets and Roman candles of
unusual size. These were taken along, and
when the dogs freed any kind of game Jones
would climb up as far rs he could and let off
his fireworks The coons could not stand
this and at once tumhled to the ground, where
they were quickly dispatched by the dogs
Middle River Neck was in blaze every lit
tie viii the whole of Friday night and the
people living ihcIcabouts were greatly alarm
ed at tie numl cls and apparent closeness of
the falling stars, and wondered if the world
was coming to an end. Mr.. Jones says they
killed tweniy-sevcn coons, and that it was
the greatest sport he ever had in his life, and
that Hartford county gives it up that Balti-
more is ahead in coon hunting.
Hartford county will not give it up, indeed.
Mr.. Scarf would like to count the tails of
those coons first; besides the fifteen coons he
and his friends took We're al captured in
three hours of daylight from to 10 o'clock,
and it took She other parties two nights to
get twenty scveu. So Hartford is still ahead.

Hon. Reverdy Johnson has given TO the
N. Y. Herald his opinion upon the Louisiana
difficulty. He thinks Grant was wrong in
recognizing the Kellogg government in the
first place, but that having recognized it that
recognition was at once absolute and final.
Mr. Johnson may be technically correct, but
the common sense view of the case is TINT if
President Grant was wrong in the first place
in interfering in the domestic affairs of n soy.
creign State and recognizing usurpcr as
Governor, he does not set the matter right by
now unfolding his first wrong action. Two
wrongs never made a right.
