The Oxford Democr at takes up the sena.
torial question without any signs of tender
ness and discusses it with candor. Speaking
of Mr.. Hamlin it says:
For years personal friend and supporter of
Hon. Hannibal Hamlin-in this his native
county, where he has always had hosts of
frieuds,-we have no unkind words to say of
him now. We have delighted to honor him,
and in the last contest when it was so difficult
to decide whether to sustain Mr. Morrill,, whose
manly, independent course on the impeachment
question challenged the support of his constitu-
ents, as 1T won their admraton-in common
with many others in old Oxford we sided with
her gifted son, and battled for Hannibal-but
we were assured then, personally,a las were many
others-that under no considerations would he
be a candidate again. Nor was it presumed
otherwise until recently, when it is said his
friends put him forward again. This would be
all very well, but for the fact that his most
active friends who are putting up the job, are
men who hold office and are liable to the sus-
plelon OF seeking to perpetuate their own pow
er, rather than acting for the dear people!
And some of this class are men whom the peo-
pie do not desire to see retained in office longer.
The Democrat expresses its preference for
ex-Gov. Perham and predicts that he will de-
velope much strength. In conclusion it
says:
1t is high time that the merits of the differ
en-. candidates were considered by the people.

NOTHING better indicates the real feeling
which Gen. Butler has for the soldier of the
late war than the single fact that his but
ler's) man Friday-now in charge of the Bos-
ton custom-house, suspended veteran, os-
tensibly because his services were not re-
quired, but really because he was too much
of soldier to worship B. F. B.,-a case
which was so palpaby one of gross injus-
tice and persecution, that President Grant
in most unusual manner, issued an order
for his restoration. As soldier, Gen. Butler
was a greater failure, if possible, than he is a
national disgrace in Congress. Had man of
courage, experience and ability commanded
the army OF the James in May, 1864, 1t is
very likely that the war would have ended
that year instead of a year later

The French Crisis.

The news from France is of most st art
ling character. For more than week the
most intense excitement has prevailed and a
degree Of violence has characterized the de-
bates of the Assembly that would create as
constituent elsewhere. The Cover nment,
which for three years has called itself Repub-
lcan, is on trial in the Assembly, and
there is such deep feeling that members of
that body have to be protected from vio-
lence by the police, and the populace
IS already So turbulent as to require the
active efforts of the police to keep it in check,
and from making open demonstration.
AT present the Monarchist party is keeping
itself in reserve. Since the defeat of the
Brogle ministry, its friends have not under
taken so much 10 control us TO influence pub
lie affairs. Its friends in the Assembly feel
that President MacMahon is their friend and
although his ministry is but partially selected
from its ranks, it is its ministry to all intents
and purposes though it is OF responsible for
its defeat.
The conflict in the Assembly of late has
been largely of personal character between
Gambetta and his associates among the in
tense Republicans and the Bonapartists, who
are exceedingly active just now. This con-
fct is rather of personal bitterness than
on account of political difference existing be-
tween them, for whatever ground has been
gained by the Republicans has been OBJ
tanned by the aid of the Bonapartists, who,
for the accomplishment of different purposes,
desire first to get rid Of President MacMahon
and the Monarehists.
Doubtless the present activity of the Bona
partists and the knowledge that the followers
of the empire are secretly but energetically
know they canuot get by an open contest,
exasperates such fiery spirits as Gambetta,
and hence the cause of the recent disturb
ances in the Assembly and in the streets of
Paris. The Republicans have gained two or
three temporary victories of late. The vote
of Monday, by which urgency" was voted
on the constitutional reforms, is understood
to be victory against the ministry and in
favor of the Republicans who desire disso-
luton, and the Bonapartists who are ready
for anything which will be change.
For the present there is no quarter of the
world from which intelligence is more apx-
iously looked for than from France. Chance
holds the balance between peace and war, a
republic or a monarchy.

Still Another SenatOrship.

When Mr.. Hannibal Hamln was last a
candidate for the Senate, his fellowcitizens
were given to understand that, having OBJ
tanned this browning mark of their appreca-
ton and confidence,he was infexibly resolved
to retire from the political stage. Mr.. Ham
lin himself used language during that can
vass which was construed to mean that he
would not be, under any circumstances, a
candidate for reelection.
Apparently, he has changed his mind, and
is now willing, not to say anxious, to serve
his state and country for another term of
years in what the more classical Washington
letter-writers are wont to call ''the curule
chair" Whether his patriotic aspirations
are to be gratified, remains to be seen. The
odds are thought by shrewd observers on the
ground to be at present decidedly in his favor,
but it is evident enough that he is not to be
allowed to walk over the course. The Port
land PRESS, the leading Republican paper of
the state, is openly hostile to the candidacy,
while the Bangor Wing and some of the
minor organs preserve an ominous silence.
On the other hand, he has been cultivating
his corner of the civil service vineyard with
notable assiduty, as appears from this re-
mark of the PRESS:
Certain men-not many in number but of
great activity and experience varying
the monotony of their official duties under the

the state and informing all and singular whom
they meet, with the utmost positiveness and as
surance, that the United States senatorship
question is settIed-that Mr.. Hamlin is to be
his own successor, ano that the suggestion of
any other candidate is mere idle folly, worthy
only of derision.
Mr. Hamln's most dangerous competitors
are ex-Congressman and Ex-Governor Per-
ham, J. II. Drummond of Portland, and Is.
rael Washburn. Without disparagement to
Messrs. Perham and Drummond, we may say
that the election of Mr.. Washburn would be
rightly regarded throughout the country as a
victory for the cause of clean politics and hon
est government. AS member OF the Repub
lican old guard in Congress, as the first war;
governor of his state, and, later, as collector
ofthe Portland custom-house, he has approved
himself as man of equal integrity and
ability, of conscience and courage. On the
whole, perhaps, the strongest member of an
uncommonly strong family, he would be a
valuable acquisition to body that sadly
needs OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Republican.
