POLITICAL.

Senator-elect Eaton of Connecticut has re.
signed his seat in the State Legislature.
A dispatch from San Francisco says that
Grover is elected Governor of Oregon The
Legislature is about equally divided between
the democrats, republicans, and independ'
ents.
Only one prominent republican journal Of
New York-the Albany Express opposes the
denomination of Gov. Dix. Its preferences
are manifestly for the Hon. A. B. Cornell.
The Baltimore Gazette says that not only
did Mr.. Chase, then Senator from Ohio, ad'
wise Gen. Scott "to disobey, himself, and or.
der his officers to disobey, any orders issued
by the President buchanan or the Secreta.
~ of War" but while Secretary Of War in
1861, a, the time the bridges north Of Balti-
more were burned, he went to Gen. Scott by
night and urged him to declare martial law as
far north as Mason and Dixon's line on hi:
own responsibility, although President Lincoln
had refused to do it..

The death of Hon. Virgil d. Paris has
been announced in our columns. Mr.. Paris
was born in Buckfeld, FEBRUARY 18th, 1907,
and was, accordingly, at his decease in the
GSth year of his age. He was son of JOSH
ali Paris, and cousin of Gov. Paris. He
graduated at Waterville College in 1927 at
the age of 20. After studying the profession
of Law, he became in 1881 Assistant Secre-
tary of the Maine Senate. From 1888 to 1886
he served as a member of the Legislature.
He was elected a member of the 25th Con.
gress, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death of Timothy ]. Carter, of Paris, who
then represented what is now part of the
second district; and in 1889 was reelected.
After the completion of his second term in
Congress, he was chosen State Senator from
Oxford county, in 1912 and ls43 When Ed
ward Kavanagh became, by the death of Gov
ernor Fairfield, Acting Governor of the State
Mr.. Parris was chosen his successor as Pres
ident of the Senate. In 1874, President Ty.
Ter appointed Mr.. Paris United States Mar.
shall for the District of Maine, and he con,
tinued to hold this Office during the admins
tration Of President Polk, till ls49. When
President Pierce was inagurated in 1853, Mr.
Paris was appointed special mail agent. and
subsequently held the Office of naval store
keeper at the Kittery Navy Yard, under Blu
ehanan.
With the pratical breaking up Of the Dem
ocratic party, Mr.. Paris retired from offic,
to his home in Oxford county. During thu
war he was one of its most bitter opponents
and at times did not conceal his sympathy
with the secession cause.
In his social relations, Mr.. Paris was high
ly esteemed by all who had the pleasure Of
his intimate friendship, as genial companion
and true friend.

special from this city in relation to the
democratic State convention to be held at
Portland on the 23rd, says:
Mr.. Joseph Titcomb, their standard bearer
of last year, being entitled to a denomination,
will probably be their candidate for Governor.
1t 10 quietly limited, however, that if it could
be demonstrated to some of the party mana
gers that new man, one who has never been
mixed up in party politics, and one, perhaps,
who has voted with the republicans, would be
the means of making an nrosd in the repub-
lican party, they would be led to go in for his
nomination. The opinions are in the main
unfsvorsble as to the wisdom of such a step,
and the framing of the platform appears to be
of greater importance. This will depend
altogether on the platform framed by the re-
publicans. In fact the running of the demo-
cratic machine depends entirely upon what is
done BY the republicans, and the most tina,
car be made of the republican mistakes and
shortcomings by the more sagacious ant
adroif Of the democratic leaders.

SOUTH CAROLINA.


 Designing to give our readers both sides of the South Carolina controversy We republisi, this week, the memorial of the South Carolina Taxpayers Convention of Feb. l9 (presented in Congress. week before last); the adress of the delegation of the Charleston Chamber of COmerce to President Grant, of March 27; the counter statement of South Carolina Re pnblicans, presented in the House April 1st; and an interesting letter from Meth odist clergyman in last weeks Christian Advocate:
 To the Senate and House of Representa-
 tires of the Congress of the United
 States:
 The memorial of the taxpayers and other citizens of South Carolina respect ively showeth that upon the recOnstruc- ton of the State Government and the ad- mission of Senators and Representatives into the Congress of the Uni:ed States, it was doubtless intended by Congress as it was expected by them that they would become partakers of the rights enjoyed by citizens of the United States and other state governments. The history of the country teaches that taxation without rep- resentation Is tyranny. Our revolution ary fathers had combined to resist such tyranny, and We feel assured that 1t was never the intention of the sons of these men to allow this very system to be sad dled upon any of their fellow citizens. It has, nevertheless, come to pass that the government established in South Carolina under the legislation of Congress has been made the instrument of effecting this monstrous oppression. The Depart ment of the State government which exer- cises the taxing power Is administered by those who own a mere fraction of the prop erty of the State. Seven years have elaps- ed since the reconstruction of the state government. and during that period, of the property taxed a majority of the mem bers of the legislature owned no portion whatsoever, and the remaining members owned so little that their pay as members constituted their entire interest as prop erty holders. The result Is that those owning the property having no vote in the government, and those imposing the taxes no share in. the burden thereof, the taxes have advanced yearly until, in many cases, they consume more than one-half the income from the property taxed. The annual expenses of the government have advanced from $400, ,O00 before the war to g. .0OO, ,OOO at the present time, and the following comparison of leading items of will best exhibit the change:

MAN OF FAMILY WANTS HIS SHARE. A correspondent of the Chicago Trib- une, who lives in Dubuque, Iowa, in view of the fact that congress will probably l authorize the printing of at least $44, ,000,- OOO new greenbacks, is troubled to know how he is going to get his share. The in- crease of the legal tenders to that extent will be little more than a dollar apiece to every man, woman and child in the Uuited States. 'I have a family of fve." he says, "and our share of the additional circulation will be five dollars. write to inquire how am to get it. Will Secretary Richardson send it to me by mail if I write to him? Or will arrangements be made with some of the banks whereby I can get it by calling upon them? I would not care about it so much but am at work on a salary, which the imitation will not have any tendency to increase that I can see: while do see that the premium on gold is going up, and the prices of clO- thing, groceries, etc., already show a ten dency to follow, even at the prospect of imitation. Furthermore, if do not get the money, I am afraid that some Jay Cook or Jay Gould, or other speculatOr who now has million dollars for every dollar own, will get not only his share of the ad- dltonal issue, but mine too, and use it in some wild speculation that will result in another panic, to my future loss. If you can give ne any information as to how can get my five dollars or, if you cannot do that. if you will explain to me any indirect way in which I am to be ben : efited to that amount by the inflation- you will confer great favor" As the correspondent is constituent of Senator Wright, one of the "cheap money" champ ions, and as the question is serions one, the Tribune suggests that the senator be called on for an answer.

MORE cUR1osrT1Es FOR BARN1yM


 Mr. Barnum has recently procured sev- eral horses of remarkable size. Three of those are placed in temporary inclosure on the south lawn of Waldemere, where all can see them free who chose to do so. One of these horses is of such extraordi nary size that a man six feet high, stand ing erect on an ordinary chair, cannot reach the top of his back.
 Thousands of persons of all ages visited my ''south lawn" during the next five or six days, and all were noticed to return in high glee. There accounts of the won- numbers to see it. At the end of the week the following communication appeared in the Bridgeport Standard:
 MIR. ED1ToR-Observing your paragraph concerning Mr. Barnum's wonderfully tall horses, took my wife down there yester- day to see the 'tfree show I found many persons gathered round that ''tem- porary inclosure on the south lawn of Waldemere" They were looking at two small ponies and the colt of pony, ten days old, which was only a foot and half high.
 They are indeed very curious. but as that was not the sight we went to see, I AA0AAACN OAAO VI 0AAO GEAAuACAS WuO "dS pdSo- ing and said: "Where is Mir. Barnum's big horseY
 "How big?" was the laconic question of the gardener.
 Wishing to be precise, quoted the ex- act language of your paragraph by say ing:
 ''I wish to see the horse of such an ex- traordinary size that a man six feet high standing erect on an ordinary chair, can- not reach the top of his back" Suppose you try it on that littlest fel- low" replied the gardener with grim and roar of laughter went up from the crowd. My wife slapped me on the back and exclaimed: ''That is another of Bar num's jokes" Now, Mir. Editor, I am fond of jokes, and the next time you talk about the difficulty of reaching the top of horses back" I'll thank you to in- form us whether we are to reach mp or down.
 The Albany Journal says: ''One of
