ANIMAL MEETING OFFRIEND.S.

A correspondent of the Tribune, in attendance
upon the annual meeting of the New England So
ciety OF Friends at Newport, Rhode Island says
The question of holding these annual gather
ings alternately here and In Portland has absorbed
much attention. The question came up upon the
ptance of the charter granted by the State of
Maine. 1t was opposed on account of an article
inserted in it declaring that the personal property
of the yearly meeting shall not be exempt from
taxation. Eli Jones and George Richardson of
Maine who have in years past strongly urged the
change, saw nothing to fear in regard to taxation,
and earnestly advocated the acceptance OF the
Maine charter. They believe that the Legisla-
ture of that State would willingly and promptly
remove the Objectionable cause. George Bowen
of this city, and Benjamin Buifum of Providence,
opposed the acceptance Of the charter Augustus
Jones of Boston expressed the opinion that the
State of Maine would certainly tax the personal
property of the Society. A. " Smiley Of Provi-
dence spoke also against the charter. as there was
possibility OF the taxation by both States of the
funds and other property belonging to the board.
ing school in Providence. Upon the motion OF
George Rowland of Maine the whole matter was
deferred until next year, and the time honored
custom of holding the annual gathering in this old
city will be observed for many years without in
terruption. The fact that this decision has been
reached causes no little satisfaction and the psrty
who desire to hold the meetings alternately In
Maine are in the minority.

EASE ATTACK OF THE MAINE STAN
DAPD yGENEP1L CONNOP

INN ~ Wv CE " 4 "a II l. : Wv ~ VIZ
Mr.. EDITOR The last Standard contains a
base, cowardly and untruthfu attack on Gen. Con-
nor cowardy because the editor knows that what
his correspondent says and insinuates is not true
because he would make no such attack himself,
well knowing Gen. Conner to be true Christian
gentleman, with all that the name implies. He
knows him to be gentleman Of culture, of large
and Catholic sprit-a true patriot, devoted to the
interests Of bis State and Country, soldier who
dared to do for it, and man enjoying the fuli
confidence Of all his fellow citizens of every shade
of party bias. The Gen. is weak and inexperl-
enced saws the strong and experienced man who
is let into the columns of the Standard to throw
mud and dirt. Weak How weak Weak IN
any Of the elements that go to make the true gen
tleman? No man dare say it, Weak IN his de-
votion to his country? Is he not the peer in ev-
ery manly part, of c. p. kimball, c. W Roberts,
and even of the astute and learned editor of the
Standard, late candidate for Governor OF our
State? What great experience and strength have
these men pray tell me- that entitled them to ill
high places Of trust Weak lie had the strength
to 90 to the front, when his country called, and
put himself between the flag of his country and
her enemies while some men we know, were t
home, abusing the dead and the living, BY calling
the one Lncolns hirelings, and heapng the
coarsest and vilest epithets on the other. Gen.
Conner knows what law is, what Government
means what its for, and what it costs to maintain
it. lie is weak shout these base strong men, who
bear themselves under a fictitious name.-lle had
courage to go to the front and stay there till shot
down, giving the vigor of his young manhood for
us all-he has had the strength and courage to do
his whole duty and do it well in every place his
State and country have placed him. That almost
any form of abuse, of the men who were true to
their country should find its way into the columns
of the Standard does not greatly surprise me,
since saw published in its columns the attack of
the Rebel Gen. Hill on Senator Brownlow OF len
nessee. This Rebel General Hill justified the as
sassinaton of Gen. Candy by Capt. Jack, on the
ground that it was a just judgment on Candy, he
being southern man, for his fidelity to the
Union. Hill coupled with Candy Brownlow as
deserving like judgment for like cause. Brown
low replied to the rebels attack on the dead and
living the rebel rejoined, and this rejoinder of Hill
or so much of it as abused the Union side, the
Standard published, omting all other parts.
In keeping with this l deem the attack on Gen.
Connor-an attack / believe every fair minded
man of every party in our State will condemn.
FAIR PLAY.

REPUBLICAN NOMINATION.
FOR GOVERNOR.
SEI.DEN CONNoR
OF AUGUSTA.

THE ONO RAG-KONEY PA TORN.
The New York World, which has all
along declared that the democracy were
peculiarly a hard money party, is greatly
disturbed about the Ohio democratic plat
form, and pitches into it and those who
made it--Bill Allen being one of them
in the following lively manner:
1.-THE prescription Of these financial sangrados
is what might have been expected from theii
diagnosis. They would have the volume Of cur
rency made and kept equal to the wants OF trade
but we are panied to see that they do not also de-
mand that the number Of shovels and boots should
also be made and kept equal to the wants of trade
--by act of Congress. They would leave the
restoration of legal tenders to par, gold, to be
brought about by promoting the industries OF the
people, in every way except by reversing the
policy which has gone so far to ruin them.
The Ohio democrats 60 on to complete the SOLID
structure of which these are the airy foundations
They think it no shame that the government dis
credits its own currency by failing to keep the
promise inscribed upon every lega-tender note,
but they demand that the government shall cease
to discredit its own currency by requiring gold
instead of deprecated legal tenders for customs
dues-a fine continuance for promoting the indus
tries Of the country by cutting off fifteen per cent
The cap-stone of this fiscal policy is the ex
tnction of all the national banks and the substitu
ton therefor of free banks for discount and de-
posi-. only, under State laws solely But even
this policy is disfgurcd by their endorsement Of

siitue for national bank notes, but preserve for
ever Is the sole paper currency, with no provision
for their conyertibility with gold except by pro-
noting, in unspecifed ways, the industries OF
the people,
It is not worth while to discuss fiscal policy
founded upon such ignorance and fabricated with
such absurd incoherence.
Well, what will the World do about i!
The democracy of the West and South are
the leaders of the democracy, the fel,
lows who hold the party whip and control
the party platforms. Does the World sup
pose they don't know what they want, and
what their power isP What do they care
about the democratic platform in Maine,
whether it goes for hard money or rag
eurrencyP They know that Maine will
not give a single electoral vote for the
democratic candidate for President, and SO
the democrats of Maine will be of no ac-
count in the Presidential election. 1t is
the States that have possible democratic
majorities in 1876 which will shape the
next national convention and platform of
the democratic party, and to them we
must look for the principles and policy OF
the democratic party, and not to what the
weak factions in States like Maine and
Massachusetts may say in their resolu-
tons.

Secretary Bristow is confident that the receipt:
of the Government for the present fiscal year will
exceed the estimates by four and one half mill
ions, and the actual expenditures by thirteen
millions. The custom receipts will fall short Of
the estimates about four millions. The deficiency
in Gust ON receipts was very marked in Jonuary
February and March, when Congress was in SEES

Secretary believes that the treasury, on July LIST
will show cash balance of over fifty millions.

THE SUMNER AND FALL ELECTIONS

THE SUMNER AND FALL ELECTIONS
The first State election this Summer will
be held in Kentucky. August second. A
Governor, other State officials and legis-
lature are to be chosen. Kentucky elected
its member of the Forty-fourth Congress
last year. General Harlan is the republl-
can candidate for Governor, and James
b. McCreery the democratic. The Sena-
torial term of Mr.. Stevenson expires on
the 4th of March, 1873, and the legisla-
ture chosen this year will name his sue
cessor. OF course Kentucky will go dem
ocratic, but the republicans are ne 'erthe-
less determined to make a gallant fight and
get out their full vote. In 1871 the demo-
cratic majority was 1896, the next year
it gave Greeley only 1896 majority, but
last year the democratic majority on clerk
of the Court of Appeals, the only State
officer then elected, was 60,S44.
The next State election will be that of
California, September l. A Governor,
State officers. Legislature, Congressman
and local officers are to be chosen. The
legislature will have the choice of Sena-
tor in place of Mr.. Sargent. The republi-
cans and democrats will run straight tick
cts, but it is likely the Independents will
have ticket of their own, though it is
believed that the great mass of the indie
pendent voters will support the excellent
ticket already nominated by the republi-
cans. as both the ticket and platform are
eminently satisfactory to all fair-minded
men who entered the independent move
ment in that State four years ago.
The Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio and Indiana
elections take place in October. The Maine
election will be held September 18th,
while Pennsylvania goes over to Novem.
Der, when the last of the State elections
of the year will be held.
