Mr.. William M. Grosven0r, careful
observer of Missouri politics, has written
o letter to the New York Tribune to show
how the democrats are throwing away the
many years. He says that the Independ-
ent voters generally, and the German vot-
ers in particular of st. Louis, are now de-
termined to overthrow the democratic par
ty. Only the Catholics are earnest in de-
Tending it, They have good reasons to be
grateful to the democracy. Twelve out of
fifteen candidates on the democratic ticket
last April were Catholics, and were chosen
because they were such. An Independent
movement at that time undertaken was
partly defeated. When the democratic
Mayor died, another was nominated; and
this time the Independents fairly won the
day, but were counted out by fraud. The
whisky ring in St. Louis, also, is thorough
~ democratic, and controls every news.
paper in the city. These are some of the
reasons Mr.. Grosvcnor gives for believing
that honest men in Missouri have lost faith
in democratic professions of reform, and
mean from this time to bend all their en-
ergies to comprising the defeat of Bour-
bonism and corruption. Mr.. Grosvenor
proceeds to show that similar evidences of
want of principle. aud mere greed of
power, are every day exhibited by the
democratic party throughout the West,
and are rapidly destroying confidence in
the ability of the party to be honest even
for few months, when the plizc before
them, and depending upon their appear
ance of virtue, is SO magnificent. What
could be expected. then, of the democratic
party If it should win the prize, and place
no check upon its indulgence?

pEPuBLIcAN NOMINATION.
FOR GOVERNOR
aELDEN CONt<oR
OF AUGUSTA.

NoHINA ton or GENERAL ShADhN
C0NNOR.
The republican State convention he'o
at Portland yesterday was grand success
In numbers it was large, and in the CHAR
acter of the men who composed 1t 1t III
tingly represented the noble party that has
governed this State the last twenty years.
There were many of the men present who
at its first organization enlisted under It's
banner, but the convention was largely
composed of younger men, men VINO hao
seen service in the war, men who had ar
rived at manhood since the party was
formed. II looked and was body OF 1--we
men. enthusiastic, energetic. moved by
principle, and resolute to accomplish Its
work.
The nomination of a candidate Tor
Governor was effected with the utmost
harmony. The convention was unit tor
General SELDEN CONNOR. When his
name was presented as the nominee OF the
convention the announcement was greeted
with rapturous applause, in which the
whole body of delegates joined as one
man. Never was more fattering nomi-
nation rendered 10 any candidate for Gov
ernor in Maine, for it was not the triumph
of majority over strong minority, as Is
usually the case in State conventions but
the united voice of one of the best repre-
sentative assemblages of the republican
party that ever met to nominate stand
ard-bearer for the State campaign. The
appearance of General Conner upon the
platform and his handsome response to
the nomination were enthusiastically APP
plauded.
We have already published in these
columns a sketch Of General Conner.
which it is unnecessary to repeat. Suffice
it to say that he is in the prime of life,
literally educated, talented, honest, capa-
BILE in business and public affairs, APP
proachable and affable to all, and carries
upon his person the evidence of his gallant
nv in the war. 1t has been said that he is
young and unskilled in public affairs, but
there are some persons who believe or
affect to believe that no young man should
be advanced TO positions of honor and re-
sponsibility, and yet the history of the
world is full of evidence to show the ab-
surdity of such a position. General Con-
nor was old enough in the rebellion to
fight well for his country, and he is old
enough to fiji the place of Chief Executive
of the State with honor to himself and the
people who will place him there. He has
q sound head and heart which can be
trusted in all emergencies.
The platform will be found in another
column. 1t is made of solid timber. 1t
takes up national and State questions sep
arately, presenting boldly the issues upon
which the campaign will! be waged. 1t
justly acknowledges the merits of Gov
ernor Dingley's administration.
With such candidate and platform
Maine will roll up one Of the largest re-
publican majorities in September, provd-
ing proper effort is made. Let our friends
in every locality now see to it that the
needful work is done. Begin early, labor
diligently, and the highest success will
be ours.

A Dear Joke TO its Author.

Denver, Colorado, gave an instance of
a Joke being carried too far. 1t was per-
petrated years ago, but only lately came
to light in pu6lic dress. Some tame after
the Atlantic cable had been established,
a telegraphic operator at Denver sent
the following dispatch:
TO the Emperor Napoleon, Garden Of the Tuil-
iries, Paris, France:
Gov. Gilpin will not accede to the cessIon of
italy TO France. Please let Bohemia alone.
The operator supposed it would make
some fun in the Omaha Office, ana stop
there, as the station agents had general
understanding in regard to each others
jokes. BY some hook or crook the dis
patch went on, and diyed under the
ocean and came up smiling In the Gar
den OF the Tuilleries, in. France. The
manner Of its reception by Napoleon has
been lost to history. All that is known
is the Emperor did not pay for it, and
the facetious operator was hunted up
and obliged to pay a bill OF $ls7 30 In gold
for his little joke. That operator was
entirely satisfied with the result of Sc
dan.

The Catacomhs Of Paris.

= The exact date and history Of the cata-
combs seems to be lost in the mists OF
time, but it is tolerably certain that they
were first used as quarries and after
wards as cemeteries by the early Roman
possessors. Later, like the caLacombs
at Rome, they became the secret retreats
and scene OF worship of the early Christ
ians, until The Christian King, Clovis,
who has left so many monuments Of his
faith In the noble churches and cathe-
drals Of Paris, put an end to persecution.
At one time they were the notorious and
impenetrab1e Aaunts of bands OF thieves.
MANY years ago, however, the govern
ment took possession Of them, and they
have now returned to their ancient use,
that of a cemetery, and sooner or later
the bones of every man and woman who
walks the streets of Paris to-day must
rest with those OF their forefathers in tine
catacombs. AS the various cemeteries
of the city become crowded with the
dead, the older graves are opened and
the bones carefully cleaned and stacked
away in the catacombs, where they now
lie five yards deep on either hand tor
more than hirtf mile. Ths population
OF the catacombs somewhat exceeds
three millions, about double that OF
Paris above ground to-day. The latest
interment has taken place within ten
years.-ParIs Letter.

Saurce Of Artificial Hair.

The human hair market is supplied
mainly by France, Sweden and Russia.
Normandy, Brittany, and the Auyergne
are, however, the provinces which fur
nish the largest and best stock of hair.
Wherever q national headgear more or
less conoealing the hair is worn, the wo-
men part with their tresses very readily.
Germany, Switzerland and the Tyr0i
supply considerable amount of hair,
too, but its quality and color being very
common, the price for it, and conse-
quenuy the inducem ment to part with it,
is not very great. England and Amer
lea furnish very little hair, the only
source of obtaining it being from poor
factory and farm girls. The general be-
lief that most OF the hair 10 obtained d
from hospitals is erroneous. The hair
of sick, and stili more 80 OF dead per-
sons, is lifeless, and Can not be worked
properly. 1t breaks like straw when 1t
comes into the hands of the dresser.
Consequently the ladies who purchase
their tresses, crimps, chignons and the
like from tirst-class dealers, and pay a
good price, may be sure they wear the
hair of living, not OF dead persons.-N.

1F THE statement Is true that the de.
cree of court-martial is final, that there
is neither provision for appeal, review
nor new trial, Congress should at its
next session go amend the law as to
guard against the great injustice that
may arise from SO improper a. state OF
affairs. In the case Of General Fitz John
Porter it is admitted that q most unjust
and unwarranted sentence was passed
against brave and efficient officer, do
ing him great injury and depriying the
country, of his valuable services; yet, as
the law stands, it is held that in spite
of the fact of newly discovered. evidence
and other matters that would justify a
reopening. of the case in any court Of
law, the decision of coust-martial, rem
'dered in time Of great excitement and
with the facts but half investigated,
must remain. The victim of this in
justice is, by the decree of the Court,
stripped OF his rights as military man,
and as civilian has not even the right
to demand military board Of inquiry,
and the civil courts to which the deci-
sion drives him have no semblance OF
jurisdiction in the matter. Clearly here
is case demanding reform.
