The Truly LOYAL.

A funny phase OF Penobscot politics has
cot into the courts for settlement. The
Bangor correspondent Of the Augusta
Standard serves it up rs follows
Mr. q. II. ingalls,. respectable gentleman
"t li!> Guy. who has devoted the last thirty
years &" his life to the advancement Of religion
especially the republican branch of it, was an
applicant for the Post Office, place worth
some $1,000 per year. Ills petition was numer-
Nuatv signed by the magnates of the ever faith
iGl party, and the chances were altogether in
has, favor. Bat there We're other Richmonds
IN the field. and to prevent disturbance in the
iunllE concllatory council was called to arbi-
trate the matter.
The high contracting parties, including such
lNcoons rs Hannibal lIamIin, the late S. f.
Jersey and some DINNER luminares, finally
made a distribution Of the loaves in this wise
". j. Win@ate to have the Coectorshp, Col
aihAam the Post Office, and Dr. S. 3. Morr-
ON the Pension tgency-the latter to quiet the
riam OF Deacon Ingalls, by giving him Il yearly
Stipend Of SSi7GO.
Everything worked admirably but the ST.
i'@" The Custom House and Post Office
continued the even tenor of their way but
There was Il hitch in the Pension Agency. It
VA, all about that little agreement and the non
tullnent by Morrison Of the contract drawn
up by Hannibal and endorsed by all the par
les Morrison held the office four years, and
W is u va dNCttttDlc OlllccT 10 everybody eN-
cept brother ingalls,. During his term of SER
vice the Doctor is said to have sailed down
some 100000. Brother Ingalls, finds no fault
on that score, save that the moiety of salt prom
iSed him failed to reach his porringer, but mis-
carried somewhere between the Post Office,
Custom House and Pension Agency. At any
rate, brother Ingalls, who was magnanimous
enough TO surrender his claim to $4,000 per
year to keep peace in the family, for the prom
lSe OF the paltry sum of $1,700 II year, has re-
celyed 81 POO in all, since the struggle com
menced.
1t is to recover the ''back pay $6, 800, less

~ VIII be seen that the 81 200 paid is prinaa ia
re evidence OF the bargain between the par
ltcS. Hon. Lewis Barker is counsel for Ingalls,,
ana Is confident that the parties will have to
fulfill the contract.
Unless restitution is made satisfactory to the
ag@neVed party, understand Mr.. Barker will
Try the case ana press it to its utmost limit with
all the ability he can command. He will sum-
mon senator flamlin as hear, and other lead
ing Federal officials and laymen in the partv.
TO swear to the ''truth, the whole truth. and
nothing but the TRUTH
The Trial promises to open an oyster which
has been nursing and training for five wears.
We shall see how the sucker looks when laid
out on the half shell. -
| have not interviewed DR.. Morrison upon
the topic, but as the Doctor is a man of strate-
@y, Of an oily temperament, and surcharged
with subtlety, shall not be surprised if he
brings out his lpel as foil to the Deacon's
oyster knife. AS it stands, it is Il case between
''close communion" and universal salvation.
