a hotel like this is to break up into cliques
but something of a human interest binds the
people together. They come to feeling like a
big family, and think tina. is one of the rea
sons why they enjoy themselves here" The
family feeling is pretty strong, and Mr..
Beecher is father of all concerned He is
the central figure everywhere; Sunday, at
the religious services, morning and night,
whether he preached or listened, and to- night,
at charade party. People flock to the edge
of the broad piazza when he comes in from
the croquet ground with an armful Of mallets,
to hear his gleeful "Our side beat we won
the last game" By some happy faculty, he
knows every one, new conner or old; and the

he beams on the odd hundred or so in the din
ing-room, as he enters it for breakfast, would
last through the day if it was not repeated at
each meal. His country parish extends a
good way beyond the hotel. He is known by
all the families around, and some Of them
have solid reason to remember him. One
farmer near here, with his farm heavily mort
gagged, found the mortgage paid. off, last year,
through Mr.. Beechers efforts. Besides pas
toral work of this practical kind and his
weekly sermons, Mr.. Beecher devotes little
time to labor. A drive or a trip up or down
on the railroad takes up the forenoon, and
alter dinner, he picks up the snort, heavy
mallet which is bis favorite, and, once on
the croquet-ground, does not leave it till it is
too dark to see. Occasionally he tries the
bowling alleys, but of late finds the exercise
too violent. Croquet is his favorte game,
1t is pretty cold, up here. There was sharp
frost, last night, but Mr.. Beecher got enough
interested in his game, Monday, to attack it in
his shirt sleeves. To see him ru,hng from
wicket to post, dropping on his knees to sight
the shots, rejoicing over the discontinue of
his adversares, and driving his ball along to
victory was a revelation of what can be done
when the man and malet come together.
Next week, Mr.. Beecher goes to the summit
of Mount Washington for day, but besides
this be has as yet planned no excursion from
the hotel After leaving here, bout Septem-
Der 81, he will pass short time in Peekskill
before returning to Brooklyn.

of our government to maintain them.
Their offence was that they would vote
the republican ticket when they could get
an opportunity. Their old masters tried
coaxing to get them to vote the demo-
cratic ticket, then bribery and threats OF
loss of employment, and finding that these
failed they organized the Ku-KluX Klans
to terrify with midnight visits and mas
sacre the hunted negroes into voting
against the republicans. The result in a
single country is the assassination of more
than one hundred. And the Argus helps
on such hellish work by paragraphs like
the above, intended to cover up the wick
edness which is done in the South by its
democratic friends,
In the very same copy of the Argus in
which is the editorial from which we have
copied above is a telegraphic despatch an
nouncing that SIXTEEN NEGROES
WERE TAKEN from aJaa IN Trenton
Tennessee, By mob Of whde men AND
MASSACRED,.
In copying the despatch the Argus UNI
dertakes to destroy its force by calling it
an improbable story We wish it were
not only improbable, but absolutely
false, for it is an atrocious deed that should
stir our people with Indignation as did the
massacre of the Virgnius crew, but it has
not been denied and we fear and believe
it is true, as horrible and "improbable' as
it may appear to be.
We trust the Argus will taunt us no
more with hanging out the "red flag in
relation to the negro question. When the
dispatches found in its own columns give
the lie to its editorials there is little neces-
sity for any notice of them by US. We
think no man with a drop Of republican
blood in his veins can misunderstood the
condition of things in the South, or that he
will be Indifferent to the welfare Of the
party by which alone justice and equal
rights can be secured to the prosecuted
colored people Of the South When the
organs of the democratic party in the
North join the Ku-Klux of the South in a
war of determination upon the blacks, it
is about time that honest and humane men
of all parties unite in support of the re-
publican party and the civil rights bill
God forbid that any northern man should
sanction bV his vote the atrocities commit
ted by the White Mans party.

RE-ASSEMBLING OF THE COUNTY
CONVENTION.


1t is understood that the Republican
County Convention will be re-assembled
to nominate new candidate for Senator
in place of Mr.. Mayhem, who, it is be.
lieyed, will request the withdrawal of his
name. The accusation has been made
that Mr.. Mayhem has been engaged in
selling liquor. 1t is not of course fair to
PREJUDICE nun, or condemn him in adj
vance of trial but at the same time it is
not fair that the Republicans of Kennebec
should have on their ticket candidate
against whom such a charge is pending
and awaiting legal investigation. AS a
man and a citizen, Mr.. Mayhem is en-
titled to all those Prescriptions of limo.
cence to which long sustained good
character entitle him; but as candidate
for office in the county of Kennebec. Mr.
Mayhem sees very plainly that he cannot
expect to be sustained while this shadow
is impending over him.

MORE BLACKS ASSASSINATED

The war against the blacks goes on
with increasing ferocity. The civilized
world was moved with indignation at the
massacre of the crew of the Virginius in
Cuba, but the democratic papers treat the
wholesale murder of the blacks in the
South as thing to make light OF. In a
recent editorial we mentioned the fac. that
in single county in Alabama one hum
dred colored people had been murdered
since the close of the rebellion and nobody
had been punished for it. How is such a
statement received by the democratic pa
persp How should it be received by any
public journal conducted in the interest of
good government Is it statement to
be ridiculed ? Is the murder of human be-
ings to be laughed at because the color of
their skins is black? Our authority for
what we stated was letter from citizen
Of Alabama published in the New York
Tribune, the paper founded by Mr.. Gree
ley, the late candidate of the democrats
for President. In that paper in its pres
ent circumstances we should not expect to
find exaggerated or fabricated accounts of
assassination in the South. But upon the
facts copied from this source the Argus
of Thursday morning comments as fol-
lows:
We had supposed the red flannel business
was played out, but it seems our neighbor at
the State capital still thinks it can excite rad
ical rage by the display of a red rag The
trick is as stale and Improbable as it is sig
nifcant of desperation in the political man.
ayers.
The story of one hundred republicans as
sassinated in one county is rather large for
belief. The figures should have been slightly
smaller to get even the gullible reader to
credit them.
The Argus may think the murder of
hundred colored men is a matter to be
treated with leyity, but the men and
women of this country will not SO regard
it. These blacks were human beings,
with affections, hopes, fears, like white
men, having human rights and the pledge

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS AND
FINANCE.

Three democratic State conventions have
been held this week. Their action upon
financial questions will excite good deal
of comment. The Ohio convention which
it was supposed would follow the steps of
senator Thurman in favor of sound cur
rency and honest payment of the national
debt, says not a word against imitation,
and squarely adopts the Pcndleton plan of
repudiation-the payment of the five-twen-
ties in greenbacks instead Of gold. In
Missouri the convention was equally as
heretical upon the finances. In Illinois
there was split in the convention over
the financial resolution. A square resolu-
ton in favor of returning to specie pay
ment was voted down, and one adopted
in its stead which has no meaning .Judg-
ing from the action of these conventions
and other democratic conventions which
preceded them, the sound currency men
will get little comfort or encouragement
from the democratic party anywhere. The
eHulctoHiah pan VI Repatriation Is ADOPT
ed so generally in the West that there can
be little doubt Of its re-appearance in the
national platform of 1876. We should

principles of success of the democracy.
