Explanatory.

10 Tie Editor Of The Press:
A communication in this mornings Pass
signed &c. (who 1 suppose is Mr.. Goodwin,
city engineer) questions the correctness of a
statement in regard to the Marginal Way. con-
tanned IN my communication on affairs of the
Portland and Rochester Railroad recently pub
lshed, and construes my reference to that
matter as reflection upon his department.
While the statement referred to is strictly in
accordance with the facts, as the records of the
city council will vouch, no reflection upon any
department or officer of the CITY government
was intended; and it is difficult to understand
how any could be inferred from the 'languaoe
used. The abandonment-or indefinite snsnen
sion-of work on the Marginal Way. was in
consequence of engineering difficulties encoun-
tered in its construction, which increased tho
cost so largely beyond the original estimates
that the city council refused to make the nee
essary appropriations for its completion The
work was resumed upon the directors of this
company assuming the contract for completing
it, at about one-half of its estimated cost. The
Marginal way has been completed thus far under
the general supervision of the city engineer. and
upon plans either furnished or approved by
him; and the directors of this company fully
appreciate, and cheerfully acknowledge the ef
ficIent services of that officer in MAKING the
work success. JOHN LYNCH

Good Words for BurIeigh,

The following extract from private letter
bears testimony to Mr.. Burlegh's interest in

why every soldier should rally to his support
to-day:
MY Dear Swett:-* The old regimen
(the 18th Maine) holds reunion at Portland
on the 10Th day OF August. If You attend give
my kind regards to all the boys, and especially
to the members of company F. You will see
many old faces which will recall old times. L
suppose the campaign is about opening, and if
you will interest yourself for Mr.. Burleigh you
will confer great favor on me. l cannot be of
any service to him except through my friends,

slider as a favor to me. He interested himself
for me, and it is through him L am able to sup

hard time to get along, and as he has shown
disposition to assist needy soldiers if they are

Democratic Victories in Tennessee.

Our Democratic contemporaries heralded
their party success in Tennessee at the late
election in flaring capitals. They did not,
however, include the following imperfect
summary of Democratic triumphs which
took place in that state during the month of
August:
Aug. l, burning OF the school-house at
Commerce, Smith county. Aug 7, massacre
of the Reeves brothers at Someryle. Aug.
10, burning of two churches near Cyoress.
West Tennessee. Aug. IL, Burning Of two
churches in Haywood county. Aug -,
midnight murder of Sandy PEBBLES, an inof-
fensive old colored man, by masked men al
Stewards Creek, Rutherford county. Aug.
10, unprovoked murder of Robert Banks, a
colored musician, near Kingston Springs, by
one William Kellam. Aug Is, burning Of
school-house at Gardeners Station, Weakly
county. Aug. IA, burning of school house
near Grant, Smith county. Aug. %, fiendish
murder Of Julia Hayden, a coored school
teacher, at Huntsville, by midnight maraud-
ers. Aug. "a, cruel and unprovoked murder
OF Dick Mckinney, an inofensive and aged
colored man, by maskers, lat Chestnut Mound,
Smith county. Aug. %, wholesale butchery
OF sixteen coored men, who were taken from
the Jail at Trenton, Gibson county,by armed
and masked men, and shot down like dogs.
Aug. 20, the finding OF the dead bodies of
three negroes fastened on raft floating down
the Tennessee river, with card attached to
their persons with the following inscription !:
''They have ticket to New Orleans, please
let them pass" Aug. 30, stopping of the
train at York station on the Alabama and
Chattanooga Railroad, and the deliberate and
unprovoked murder of Thomas Ivey, a COL
ored mail route agent.
The Nashville Bulletin declares that the
above are but few of the many outrageous
deeds which have been perpetrated during the
past month, and which, it declares, have
been prompted by the teachings OF prominent
Democratic politicians.

victories of this description will not fail to

The City's Representatives.

The Representative Convention completed
our city ticket on Saturday with great har-
mony and good feeling. They nominated the
three "old'' members by reclamation, as will
be seen in our report elsewhere, but Mr..
Pullen declined, in pursuance of purpose
long entertained, for business reasons. In
his place was nominated Percival Bonney,
ESQ.,, who can hardly be called new men,
Der, as he has served in a very creditabe
manner two terms in the Legislature. He is
strong man and good man. His extensive
acquaintance in the state and his familiarity
with all parliamentary matters, will render
him specially valuable member. The city
needs him there and citizens of all shades of
thinking should bear this in mind to-day.
Mr.. Bonney is gentleman of marked ability
and sterling integrity.
Mr.. Abbott is mechanic and a member
of the firm of W. L. Pencil & Co., extern
sively engaged in the steam and gasppe bust
ness. He bears good record as soldier and
should receive the cordial support Of all who
recognize the obligations which the nation
owes to its defenders. His record in civil and
business life is equally good, and he is rep
resentative man of a large interest in the city.
Mr.. Haseltine is wel-known in business
circles as member of the hardware house
of Eben Corey 6 Co. He is a man of the
highest character, is identified with the re-
ligious and moral organizations OF the city,
and merits an expression of approval from
his fellow citizens.
Although the friends of Mr.. Drummond
had large majority of the convention and
could have nominated whom they pleased,
for the sake of harmony they nominated by
reclamation the three old representatives
neither of whom could be considered favora-
BILE to Mr.. Drummond, and only filled the two
places with gentlemen who advocate his cleo
ton as United States Senator. Such consd-
GRAFTON is not always exercised by eager ma
jorities.
About the sold" members, Messrs. Thomas
and Walden, nothing need be said. Their
record of past service speaks for them. 1t is a
good representative ticket, embodying the
various interests of the city, and is the
ticket which every Republican should vote
to-day.
The Portland daily press., 1874-09-14

Mr.. Burleigh's political opponents are as
sertng that he is opposed to the ship-build-
ing interests of the country because lie is OPP
posed to the proposed reciprocity treaty. One
section of the proposed treaty provides for
free trade in ships, and another admits Domin-
ion built vessels to our coasting trade. The
first would transfer ship-building from Maine
to New Brunswick, and the second would al
low the cheap vessels of the Dominion to bid
for our coasting business to the detriment OF
our own people. Mr.. Burleigh is opposed to
these measures as are all of our ship-builders
and ship-owners. Try some more plausible
falsehood.

THE Adrertiser criticises the offering of
money for votes on the street. The publicity
and noisiness of the operation indicate that
there is more of fun and buncombe in it than
reality. No decent man, of course, would be
influenced in his political action by any
amount of money, and negotiations with
''low-down" fellows would not be publicly
made. So we may fairly consider the whole
affair joke. Other inducements than money

Mixed Tickets.

To-day there will be distributed at every
ward room, great variety Of mixed tickets.
As usual, the Democrats will have a fac-simile
of the regular Republican ticket with the
names OF several Of the Democratic candi-
dates inserted. These are circulated by the
Democrats for the purpose of deceiving the
Republican voter and stealing his vote. 1t is
simply forgery, although the law does not
recognize it as such.

A PalpabIe Fraud.

A little circular was extensively distributed
on Saturday night, containg summary of
the statements about Mr.. BOWS conduct as
councillor. The utter unfairness of the thing
is manifest from the fact that the bills ar
rayed as paid to him were chiefly the ex-
penses of the Governor and Council on their
travels. He had disbursed the money and
the orders were drawn in his favor, as chair
actually expended by him. The impression,
intended to be conveyed, that these sums
enured to his profit is entirely groundless, land
the attempt to deceive is glaringly apparent.
