The Democrats of Maine held
their annual State Convention at Au-
gusta, Oh Tuesday of last week. The
resolutions Of the convention had the
ring Of the true Democratic metal in
them. Gen. Charles w. Roberts of
Bangor was nominated for Governor,
OF him a Democratic exchange says :
Gen. Roberts has already a State
record. He was one of Names bray
est and ablest soldiers during the Re-
bellion, and in all his public service,
of whatever nature, he has displayed
ability and fidelity to the general in
i,.ests. But his excellent character,
and his ripe experience III positions OF
trust and matters of importance are
not his only recommendations. He is
in hearty sympathy and accord with
the platform upon which he has been
nominated. He represents sound and
progressive Democracy, and he COM
bines in high degree the qualities in
which those who are looking for a
man to carry the banner of reform and
progress can conide He also rep
resents the emphatically expressed
preference of the party that nominated
him. The Democrats made the day S
work that resulted in his selection one
of the most creditable in their history.
Their candidate will receive vote by
which he may well feel hattered and
the party encouraged.

A FARCE ENDED.-Under the above
heading Il Washington despatch of
June Goth says that Kinds was acquit-
ted yesterday by the jury of the Grim
inal Court, of the charges contained in
one of the several indictments found
against him. The evidence showed
he had paid money to clerk in the
Post Office Department, but it was
not proven that it was paid for 4 cor
rupt purpose. The trial just concluded
was upon the principal indictment,
and having failed in this it is probable
that the Government will not urge
trial upon the remaining indictments.
The entire proceeding against postal
mail frauds has been unsuccessful,
weak and farcial.

The Republican papers are trying
to induce the people to forget the rot
ten and tyrannlcal record made at
Washington. They beg for contin-
ued lease of power. The eighty thou
sand Federal officeholders want to
hold over-they have no idea Of a sur
render without struggle The peo-
pie have already indicated what their
wishes are, and what they are deter
mined to do. The revolution last fall
was the forerunner of the overwhelm-
ing change in 1876. In Ohio and
Pennsylvania the struggle for regain
ing power has commenced, but the
masses are not moving in that direc.
ton. They have had enough of the
swindles and salary grabs and extrav-
agance and high taxation of the party
in power.

Having given detailed account
of the political and social condition OF
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Arkansas, Mr.. Nordhoff's last letter to
the New York Herald summarizes his
observations in regard to those four
States. In all Of them there has been
since 1868 great disagreement,
mostly by men who called themselves
Republicans, but who were for the
greater part camp-followers, advent
urers, soldiers of fortune, etc. But
public robbery was not the worst
crime of the men who arose in the
name OF the Republican party to gov
ern the Southern States. The gravest
offence of the State Governments was
their total neglect of the first duty of
rulers, TO maintain the peace and ex-
ecute Justice" Mr.. Nordhoff believes
that no Northern man can see Louis
lana as it is to-day without gaining a
high respect for its white people.
THE State is to. day as fit for self gov.
eminent as Ohio or New York. In
none of these four States is there "any
desire for new war, any hostility to
the Union, any even remote desire to
re-enslave the blacks, any hope or ex
pectation of repeating any Constitu-
tional amendment" The color line
he regards as a great calamity which
must be obliterated before peace and
prosperity will be restored. "But it
is Fedel al interference under the En-.
lorcement Act, and that alone, which
enables INSCRIPTIONS politicians to
mass the negro vote upon one side
and use it for their own aggrandize
ment." Colored men have done just
what their INSCRIPTIONS white leaders
have told them TO do, because they
knew no better, but the logic OF
events is leaving impressions with
them which will materially change
their action in the future.

A CHEAP REMEDY MIR. Wick
says, in his valuable Floral Guide,
that ten drops of carbolic acid, easily
detained from any druggist, put into a
pint of water and poured Oh the earth

worms, which do so much damage to
the plants. This is pretty good au.
thority, and the information may
prove valuable to some of our read

tism a speciality, and the prescription from
whicl. this remedy is compounded is all he
ever used in the treatment Of this disease.
In simple cases sometimes one or two doses
suffice. In the most chronic cases it is sure
to give way by the use of four or five bottles.
BY this efficient and simple remedy hundreds
Of dollars are saved to those who can lea st
afford to throw it away, as surely it is by the
purchase Of useless pre- scriptions
Let any sufferer who reads this purchase
small bottle and take il according to the direc-
tons around the package, and it will not take
long to convince him that paying doctors
fees is money thrown away-Lniments CT all
kinds are useless

throughout the United States and Canada. =
