The Democratic editor of the Louisville
Courier-J Journal, writing from Washington,
very frankly says that what the Democratic
party needs is brains. "We shall need" he
says, "a policy of our own, and, if this is to
work well and wear well, it must embrace
distinctly and intelligently, the many novel
problems which begin to press upon the social
no less than the political life of America.
Brains are indispensable to this business, and
hence, repeat, that it is a regretfnl feature
of the situation to note the absence OF any
higher purpose at this time than that which
relates to bread and butter"

give good account of himself before the
close Of his term.-St. Louis Globe.
In the last fight between whites and blacks

WITHIN ten years no less than 12,OOO,OOO
acres of forest have been cut down or burned
over in this country. Much of this timber is
used for fuel, twenty-five cities being on rec
ord as consuming from 5000 to 10000 acres
each. Fences use up much timber, and rail-
road ties require the product of 100000 acres
a year. The amount of pine and hemlock tim
ber yet standing in the forests of the timber
states is estimated at 225, 900, 100000 feet.

The Railroad Millennium.

The large portion of the people of Maine
living along the line of the Maine Central or
along lines tributary to that railway, embrac-
ing at least two-thirds of the population OF
the state, have abundant reason 10 rejoice at
the favorable result of the negotiations be-
tween the directors of that road and the
Boston and Maine. For nearly two years
the Boston & Maine has been practically
closed to the large freight business along the
line Of the Maine Central, to the great detri-
ment not only of the railroad company, but
to shippers and manufacturers in this state
and along the line of the Boston & Maine.
The increasing traffic between the flourish
ing towns on the Boston & Maine in New
Hampshire and Massachusetts, and the towns
in Maine along the Maine Central, has been
delayed, hampered and otherwise made haz-
ardous and expensive by the blockade in this
city. All this is now removed, and, under
the new policy of harmonizing all the rail-
road interests so as to most efficiently facili-
tate the public business, the roads will realize
greater prosperity while business and trade
will be stimulated. All parties have suffered
by these protracted railway wars.
In addition to the benefits which will ac-
crue to business, the people of Maine have
another cause for congratulation at the dawn
of this railroad millennium. The occupation
CT railroad lobbes at the state capital, is
gone. There being no cause for strife, there
can be no pretext for the 'third branch"
which, in connection with these conflicts,
has become so painfully prominent the past
few years, consuming so large a part OF the
attention of our legislatures that there has
been no time to properly consider questions
pertaining to the public welfare.
At best these contests, which were most ex-
pensive to the corporations, could not be 9TH
erwise than demoralizing in their effects upon
the legislators who had come to consider too
many questions from the railway point. The
new policy will not require lobbes at Angus
ia, and Maine legislatures will escape the bad
repute which has been attached to legisla-
lures of other states.
The peace policy must prove most benefi-
cial to our leading Maine railway, the Maine
Central. Year by yeaI its business facilities
and general efficiency have been increased.
Year by year its stock has appreciated in
value, and under the present economical and
judicious management its future is most
promising. The removal of the BLOCKADE
will not only bring the Maine Central into
favor with the business men of Maine, but
must be conducive to its financial prosper
ity.
It is now asserted that the Eastern will
readily enter into new contract with the
Maine Central similar to that already ratified
by the Boston g. Maine and Maine Central.

THE Bangor Wing has become selemnly
portentous. 1t announces that thus far
it has restrained itself, but that unless the
PRESS and the Advertiser explicitly retract
the unpretty things they have said about it
something dreadful will happen, the very
vagueness of which is horritying and blood
curdling. The Whig declares that it has
drawn its weapon 'and thrown the scabbard
awaJ." Augh-ugh. (This is as near as we
can come to an photographic expression OF
a shudder of dismay). 1t further says, with
delicious mixture of metaphors, "If you
want war, gentlemen, you shall have it to the
hilt." To all of which we can only say as
Cambronne did at Waterloo, 1.-THE Guard
dies but never surrenders."

The letter from Bangor elsewhere pub
lished, comes from prominent gentleman Of
that city, who speaks for himself and many
others. 1t indicates what everybody could
readily conceive, that Judge Peters candi-
dacy is ir answer TO the earnest aspirations
and persuasions of very large proportion oi
the Republicans OF Penobscot county and
that very lively and effective support will
be given him in that section. The position
of the Bangor Wing, which is, in effect, that
Judge Peters has no right to be candidate,
will hardly be palatable to those gentlemen
who cherish the idea that they have a right
to follow the dictates OF their judgment and
inclination, despite the impudent dictaton Of
Mr.. Hamlin's organ. The just and appre-
ciative description of Judge Peters in the let
ter will meet hearty concurrence in all parts
of the state, and the bullying attitude of the
Hamlin paper will only confirm and intensity
the fealty 10 Judge Peters.
