THE GOVERNORSHIP.

Perhaps the name most frequently mentioned, IS
that of Gen. Conner, gallant solter and an car
nest republican. So far as information ex-
tends among republicans of this county, the sug-
gestion is received with marked favor.-EiisTorth
4mericaa.
From present indications, as have stated
above, Gen. Selden Common of Augusta is meeting
with great favor a candidate. And, judging
from the highly complimentary things which are
daily SAID of him all around, it is doubtful whether
all Others aspirants for the gubernatorial honors
will not yield to him without contest.-Rockland
Free Press.
Gen. Selden Conner of Augusta, is mentioned
by the Press as suitable candidate for this high
office. From what is know Of this distinguished
gentleman, in this region, no question Of per-
sonal nature IS likely to arise to exclude his claims
and qualifications from fair and candid consdera-
ton. In his character, services, and consistent
republican principles there is much to commend
him to the people Of his native State.-Ortord
Itm0cfdf
And now the Argus has discovered that Gen.
Conner is the candidate of what it is pleased to
call he ring" 1t is not necessary to say that as
usual, the Argus is mistaken. The Press cannot
be classed as "rng organ" in the sense in which
our neighbors use it. We don't think the Bridg-
ton News or the Fairfield Chronicle could well be
classified with what the Argus calls "ring organs.
AS for Gen. Conner, he is no ring man thorough
republican, he has never attached himself to the
fortunes of any ring or clique. Two years since,
hundreds of personal friends were ready to bring
him into the field, but it was deemed wise to wait.
1t is a spontaneous and disinterested movement,
such as moved the democracy when Charlie Rob-
erts was brought forward by that party. The
trouble is the Argus foresees crushing defeat with
General Conner at the head of the republican col
umn.-Portlaad Press

THE NEW JUDGE.

The appointment and confirmation ofMr
ARENAS Libbey as one ofthe Associate JUS
tees of the Supreme Judicial Court, will
add to the Bench of our State a gentleman
well qualified by legal ability, judicial cast
of mind, manners, appearance. and pure
private life, to adorn the position to which
be has been called. At the same time il
will be recognized as an act of political
liberality, for Mr. Libbey is a democrat,
though not always sustaining the nomna-
lions or the measures OF his party. We
have no doubt that Mr.. Libbey will be an
impartial as well as an able Judge, allow
ing no political prejudices or opinions to
warp him from the strict line of justice.
His appointment was very strongly sup
ported by republicans, especially by those
who from personal acquaintance know his
fitness for the place. All the crcum-
stances attending the appointment are
highly creditable to him and gratifying to
his friends.

The Tribune remarks that Mr.. Thomp-
sons more stringent Interpretation of the
act of Jan. IA, 1875 appears to be correct,
but differs with him as to the amount of
contraction caused by the two acts, reck-
oning it at S12 ,000, 900 instead of Sl7, 0OO,-
900. This difference is not material, since
the main point is established by both wit
nesses that contraction of the currency is
absolutely taking place and the finances OF
the country tending towards restoration of
specie payment, lower interest, and the
turning of capital into the channels of pro
ductive industry.

TIE DECLINE GOLD.

Gold has now fallen to the price at
which it stood at the end of January,
a fortnight after the resumption bill
became a law, and one month before a
dollar Of greenbacks was retired. Re
ferring to tie decline, the Near York
World of Wednesday says: "The bull
speculation which was undertaken in
face Of the certainty that greenbacks
would be retired, may now be regarded
as definitely closed; for the whole
movement was virtually one though
several Parties took it up and abandon
Cd it in turn. We have therefore as
high a price for gold as we had SIX
months ago, while the legal tenders
have been decreased St, 80, 600 and the
fractional currency about S3,OOO,OO0,
against an increase Of not more than
S3,5OO,O0O bank notes; and we are at
the threshold of the season of our
most active exports Of produce.
Without reference, therefore, to the
great powers for improving the cur
rency now held by the Treasury, the
general situation points TO still lower
prices for gold"

DEPoPrLArION pY vIoLENCE.

Statistics show that during the past
six months about I03,5OO persons have
lost their lives by what is called "viO-
lence." Appalling as this showing is,
the violent deaths which are not in
cluded in it would far Outnumber these,
and, according to Dr. Draper and other
psychologists, have really carried off
nearly all the people who have died
within the past half year. Few men
die by the harmonious decay Of their
powers. Acute diseases, suicide which.
according to DR.. De BoIsmont, has
carried off 100000 Frenchmeu alone
since the opening Of the century,, ma
larial poisoning, injudicious regimen,
Overwork-all these and many more
common causes of death may fairly be
put down under the head Of violence.
The nOiseless murder which is DONG
the world to death attracts but little
attention, and We set down to "vio-
lence" only that which is noisy or
bizarre.

the highest rank in society;
in fact, quite the reverse, for it
was mostly composed of merchants in
rags and old irOn," as a witty friend of
mine has remarked. In a word, the
students entertained so little respect for
their visitors that they held to their asylum
and would not come out upon demand;
however, they were in danger, and their
friends importuned the Burgomaster for
help. The worthy Mayor granted the re-
quest in q rather unique way, for he or
dered out the fire department and had it
proclaimed that a frightful confagration
was raging in the east side of the city.
Away rushed the brave PomDiers down
avenue Kipdorf towards Borgerhart, the
whips cracking, the men shouting, the
horses prancing, and the engines dancing
up and down behind like mad, while the
little boys screamed with delight, and the
little dogs rolled over and over in the dust.
The Liberals hoped by this cOnfagration
hoax to induce the rioting Clericals ''tO
run with the machine" and thus give the
beleaguered Athenaum boys an opportunity
to escape; but the plan failed wofully. For
once in their lives the ragged merchants
cared nothing for the excitement of a fire;
they stood their ground and demanded in
earnest tones that the students be delivered
up TO them. By this time, as might be
supposed, the Liberals had smelled battle
afar Off and were congregating in strong
force. "a bas les Liberauxm was the cry:
"DOWn with the Catholics" the response,
and the opponents glared fercely at each
other and earnestly grasped their sticks and
brick-bats. Again came the shouts, again
| the replies; once more the brave LOOKS,
once more the firm self possession and pa
tient waiting, when tall Catholic adj
vanced to the Athenaum and sunk his,lOng
knife deeply in the wooden panel of the
door. 'DOwn with the Liberals!
Iwish I could kill them so y" he cried, and
darted a writhing glance Of scorn at the
assembled members of that hated party.
The crowd cast enquiring looks around and
recognized that the affair was becoming
serious, so dissolved the meeting and went
home to tea.
This then is the fuel with which our
contemporaries in England have built so
great fire; this is the incident that gave
the Times an opportunity to revel in histori-
81 "reminiscences, to haul up similar
events, or rather, events similar to the ex-
aggerated idea Of this one. Here it is all
in nutshell! The elements of war may
be concealed in this fearful demonstration,
but to the candid eye it does not look
| like it. f. G.

Tie OHIO 0rrporRING.

That was a grand old fashioned
rally which the Democrats had at Gal
lipoIis, Ohio, last Monday. 1t was an
enthusiastic opening of the campaign.
Twenty thousand people present to
listen to the words Of soberness and
truth from Gov. Allen, and George H.
Pendleton. A dispatch from Gallipolis
says the meeting far exceeds anypoliti-
cal demonstration ever held in that
section Of the State. The first arrival
of the morning was three steamboats,
from Charleston, West Va, lashcd to-
gether and literally covered with people.
Their arrival was heralded by firing a
National salute. This delegation was
headed by Hon. Henry S. Walker, who
made 50 gallant a fight for the United
States Senatorship in West Virginia
last year. Then other steamboats, with
barges dashed to them came IN from
different points up and down the
river. Large professions IN wagons,
carriages and on horseback
poured in from the back country.
There were flags and banners without
number, many bearing appropriate
notices. One from West Virginia was:
50 West Virginia greets Ohio's Govern
or. A thousand blessings on his head. "
Among many others there were the
following: jackson 5000; Grant
$4,000. You pay your money andyou
take your choice" We are sans
culoties because Wall street has strip

hoppers skip out together" United,

lee. The ball is in motion. Keep it
