LARGE FIRE IN understandable large two
story tenement house on Bradbury street in
Biddeford, known as the Newbegin house, and
owned by Alfred Outlet, was almost totally
destroyed by fire early yesterday morning. The
fire was discovered in the stable and so rapid
was the spread of flames that some of the &C.
cupants were obliged to leave in their night
clothes.
The stable contai ned three Horseshoe val.
ued at $300-dump cart. wagon, sleds, sleigh
harnesses etc., all of which were burned.
The house was occupied by four families
Mr.. Outlet and Oliver Croto below, and
James E. Cote and Edmund Lalanne above
stairs.
The origin -nf the fire is supposed to have
been incendIary and appears to have taken be-
meath the stable or between two stables. The
full loss is estimated at $4,000. There is an in
surance of $3.50 in Penn Co., on the house in
the agency of j. M, Goodwin & Son. The &C.
cupants had no insurance on their furniture.

-, nth the mission of the older organiza-
ton.
Maine is large state, and small part of
the people even within radius of twenty
five miles attend the State fairs, while very
few, and only those interested and having
means, can go from Cumberland, Androscog-
gin and Oxford to Bangor-a fact which holds
equally true Of the eastern part of the State
when the fair is held in Portland. There is
ample ground for two societies even if their
purposes were identical.
We understand that the new society starts
under the most favorable auspices, and that
a large membership of stock-breeders and fam
ciers is already assured, comprising gentle
men of means and energy. The officers choS-
en-, Thursday, will at once take measures for
grand exposition the coming fall.
A TURNER'S ISLAND correspondent is
very indignant at the policy OF the town OF
Cane Elizabeth towards the villages which
asked to be annexed to Portland, and doubt
less very Justly so, but he will pardon us for
| declining to publish his communication as it
might involve US in libel suit to which we
| have no time to devote. The writer closes
his letter: "Mr. Editor, we ask you in the
name of God and humanity, is there no de-
liverance?" Parenthetically we would re-
mark that we are so generous, that for the
mere asking in his own name, we would give
him deliverance, provided it did not cost too
much. The only way we see now is to stuff
| ballot boxes-which isn't regarded quite fair.
| One thing he and his friends can do, refuse
to be taxed to pay $14OO which the town au-
thorities expended in Augusta last winter.
The Massachusetts Supreme Court has de-
cided that such use of a towns money is IL
| legal.

was thrust upon them. hy the Re-
construction acts, will convince the
white people that The policy Of
reasoning with, and attempting to
persuade the negro voter is useless.
and has never accomplished any
beneficial result.
The negro ranks have been &C.
mented in\xNerY campaign since
1867. by direct appeal TO tllr
prtiutiices OF their race: and the
real ISSUE, for they could compra
bend no other, has been the per
netnaiIon OF negro domination. BY
the exclusion OF white men from of
fee The leading political piinci-
Die ef the negro is his nnconqner-
bic hatred OF the white race. The
carpet baggers who have secured
and abused his support, fully M
devstooG his nature. Tor they have
been unable to obtain Office. only
when they have ppatiered to this
all absorbing prejudice, and in
dulre., in abuse and villainotls mis-
Of the white PEG
ule Of the South. We have barbe-
cuei and toasted the negro; invi-
ted their public speakers on the
stand witt, lis, aud engaged III a
sort Of poiitieo-social equality.
We have gone SO tar, as to place
one OF their race, Oil our State tick
1t for a prominent aud important
position, with y view. OF concilia
ton. We have IN every political
convention, through the press, and
from the stump, assured them of
our intention to HONESTLY protect
them Ill I'LL their rights OF citizen
ship. We have represented 10
them them the outrages\ that they
have perpetrated, and thA ruin that
has been brought upon u.s. by the
dishonest aud irresponsible men
tlcy have elected to office; bank
rupting the State, aud destroying
confidence both public aud private;
IN fact, we have used every eXpeli-
eNt, exhausted every argument that
we Knew Of, and yet at every elec-
fioa we have been met at The polls
By Al almost nnbroken trout, Of
the black race against the white.
The issue Of race has been made
BIZ their leaders aud however IN
fortunate, It may he for the best
interest OF both, there is no alter
native but to accept it. We DO
not see the safety, in longer de

hope, thai something might be
