DEATH OF A NOTED SEA CAPTAIN.

Captain Thomas G. Young, of Angus
tn, Me, was seized with an apoplectic
fit Sunday evening and died the next
morning. He was veteran whaleman,
and sailed out of New Bedford for forty
years. A correspondent of the Boston
Journal says: ''Near the close of the
war he achieved reputation for patriot
ism and personal bravery in refusing to
surrender his whaling vessel, the bark
Favorite, to the rebel pirate Shenandoah
in the Arctic ocean. Upon the approach
of one of the Shenandoah's boats, he
hauled out an old bomb gun which he
kept for signals, armed his men with
muskets, and warned the officer that he
would fire into his boat if he did not
draw off. The Shenandoah then steamed
alongside, the commander ordered Capt.
Young to haul down his flag, and the
following conversation ensued:
Haul it down yourself if you think it
would be good tor your constitution
if you don't haul it down we II blow
you out of the water said the officer.
BLOW away, my buck but may be
eternally blasted if | haul down that
flag for any cussed Confederate pirate
that ever tloated.'
The commander of the Shenandoah
admired the old fellows bravery so
much that he did not fire ut the craft, but
brought him and his crew off through
an armed boats crew."

A recent correspondent of the st. Lou
is Republican speaks in high terms of
the present state administration, and
predicts the denomination of all the
present officers. The writer thinks that
Lieut-Gov. Colman will probably run
for governor, and will, in that case, lie
cline his present position, and that Hon.
Nj. V. l.. McClelland. of this county, is
mentioned for the place, and would be
an excellent selection. He says of that
gentleman that he would give tone and
character to the position and fill it with
honor and dignity.
The Pittsburg Gazette chimes in and
says: president Grant has great pop
-nlar strength before the country. and
it would be y most wretched policy for
any man to seek to promote his own
advantage by lighting the President.
We have been speaking plainly and
frankly on the subject, and must still
say that while either Secretary Bristow
or POstmaster-General Jewell will make
acceptable candidates. our belief is that
eifhe, P,estient Grant, or some one
he mny select, will receive the nomina-

IT WAS to be expected that when the
Democrats took the city government of
Wilmington in hand, after the recent cleo
ton, that the public offices would be put in
the hands of members of that party, for the
most part. But it seems that a clean sweep
has been made, even down to the humblist
laborers in the hospitals, and others offices
of trust and charity. One or two parties
who have occupied such humble positions
that their political faith was hardly thought
of, have been made to vacate, after holding
their offices for years, through all sorts of
political changes. This kind of narro,yness
iswhat is now called "demagogre partyism."
The Wilmington rulers seem to have it in
its most malignant type. So long as eff
cheney and decency 60 for nothing in re-
tanning official positions, and men are sub
dued for opinions sake, and political chance
Is the only passport to public trust and
emolument, then so long we may expect
offlce-seeking and office-holding to be as
nasty a business as any other lottery.

Ex-senator B. F. Wade of Ohio was invi-
ted to make an Old-fashioned tariff speech
at Youngstown the other day, but he
declined on account of i'll health In his
letter he said "The only cause for
present evils is the want of q high protec-
tive tariff. This would enable us to do our
own work, and is the only remedy for the
thousands now out of work and who can find
no employment. No nation ever had a
better currency than we have now, and no
relief will come from any attempt to change
1t. What we want is to do our own work
at home. Look at France, just out of the
most disastrous and expensive war known
to history, and the enormous indemnity
she had to pay to Germany. What miracle
in her behalf enabled her to pay it off so
soon i'll gold? 1t was because France does
all her work at home, and consequently
owes nothing abroad. We should have a
tariff on all foreign finery that would make
our fools and wOuld-be aristocracy omen
their eyes. If any man or woman desires
to live in style beyond the skill of our
own workmcn, let them pay for their vanity.
But the Republican party have become
weak-knecd on this subject, and they do
not pronounce the word protective above
their breath. Oh, for the frmness, courage,

to let a law suit against such a corporation

the peaches, stated that he thought nothing
could be done with the American Steam.

entered into did not specify strictly that
the company would be held responsible for
