An Appeal.
To the Editor of the Press:

10 the Edtt0r OF the Press
The following from letter of the Rev. G. 7.
Collins Trelawney of Plymouth, Eng. will inter-
est many. He writes SIN the adjoining parish
of st. Bordeaux, where once lived Sir Fernando
Gorges, and in the church of which parish there
stands very interesting monument of that
ancient and distinguished family, now sadly
out of repair. As the old church is undergoing
a thorough restoration, monuments as WELL we
have been appealing TO the representatives of
several families to whom he monuments belong
to repair their monuments, and such as we have
been able to identify, (the Fortescues, ,Stickleys
Byards, &c., have generously responded to
the appeal, but so entirely extinct has become
the noble family of Gorges that we cannot dis
cover single descendent; so their curious mon
ument, the most interesting of all in the church
must remain in its present mutilated condition,
as there are no available funds whatever for
this purpose. 1t has occurred TO me whether
we might not take the liberty of transferring
our appeal in this particular instance to our
friends in New England where the Gorges
played so conspicuous part in her early settle
ment, and could they be persuaded to under
take the repair in consideration of their connec.
ton with this once eminent family, Il under
stand that $40 will be sufficiently well know
how highly their generosity would be priced,
as coming from so unlocked for quarter"
This presents most opportune and felicitous
occasion for a graceful tribute from Maine to
Gorges, as principal actor in her founding, but
not less for an expression of the national sent
timent of good will toward our Mother Eng
land, with whom our relations, social and COM
mercial will be no less intimate in the fnture
than in the past. 1t will be trifle, but trifles
are often the most significant, and this will be
monumental.
Gentlemen Of New Hampshire lately erected
monument in church at Portsmouth, Eng
land, to the memory Of Colonel John Mason,
who holds the same historical relation to New
Hampshire that Sir Fernando Gorges does to
Maine.
1 have great satisfaction in laying the Rev.
Mr.. Trelawney's letter before the public, feel
ing that it will meet with prompt and cordial
response. j. WINGATE THoRNTCN,

INDIANA DEMoCRAcY.-The Democratic Con-
vention of Lawrence county, Indiana, which
met last week, passed the following resolutions
unanimously:
81. That we are in favor of the immediate
and unconditional repeal of the act of Congress
known as the Specie Resumption act of Janu-
ary, 1875.
2. That the debt of the United States gov
ernment, contracted in the suppression of the
Rebellion upon an inflated currency, cannot be
paid upon specie basis without bankrupting
the country and bringing financial ruin to the
producing, laboring and debtor classes.
B. That we are in faver of the redemption of
the five-twenty bonds IN greenbacks, according
to the law under which they were issued.
4. That we are in favor of the repeal of the
act of March 8, 1869, which assumed to con-
strue the law so as to make such bonds payable
exclusively in gold.
8. That we are in favor of the repeal of the
National Banking Law, and the substitution of
greenbacks for the National Bank currency.
6. That we pledge our county and individual
support TO the Democratic National, State,
Senatorial and Judicial tickets"

Political News.

The Chicago Tribune denies the statement
of the Democratic press that son of the
great Lincoln is to take the stump for Tilden
in Illinois.
Mr.. Watterson of the Louisville Courier
Journal tells his readers that Mr.. Tilden has
homely hand without glove and tells them
to infer the rest. The truth is Mr.. Tilden
is little dried up man who weighs III lbs.
The chances for the election of solid Re-
publican delegation to Congress from Mas
sachusetts this fall, are thought by the
Springfield Republican 10 be favorable.
The Petersburg (Va.) Iude1 rejoices over
the disturbances at Hamburg, S. c., by
which "a half dozen mutinous negroes lost
their worse than useless lives" The Inder
is strong for Tilden.
An enthusiastic meeting of the Illinois Re-
publican State Committee was held in Chica.
go on Wednesday. Encouraging reports
were received from all parts of the State, and
several sanguine members predicted $4,000
majority for Hayes and Wheeler in Novem-
ber.
The Germans of Milwaukee evidently are
not satisfied with the st. Louis ticket. More
than half the citizens of Milwaukee are Ger
man, and many of them have acted, hereto
fore, with the Democratic party. Yet not a
speaker of that nationality took part in the
ratification meeting; not one German occu-
pied a position on the platform.
Parson Brownlow suggests to Gov. Tilden
that if he should be elected President he
ought in justice and for the sake of his kind
of reform, to make Bob Toombs Secretary of
War, and "Admirap' Semmes Secretary of
the Navy,and with "Gen." NJ. C. Butler, the
hero of Hamburg, for Secretary of the Interi-
or, and Jubal Early for Post Master-Genera.
A significant political item reaches us from
correspondent in Kentucky. The writer
says: "By referring to the map you will see
that the town of Lawrenceburg is not far
from the centre of the bluegrass region of
Kentucky, and the county seat of Anderson,
thirteen miles southeart of the capital of the
State, twenty-four from the home of James
Beck, and in the Eighth Congressional (M.
j. Durham's) and the Seventeenth Judicial
District. In this town, early on the morning
of the Fourth of July, regular Confederate
States flag, with the names of Tilden and
Hendricks, was suspended from tbs dome of
courthouse, and from this elevated position
has gracefully waved ever since.-Hdrper's s

SOME one has ascertained that the plat
form as read and adopted by the St. Louis
convention is slightly different from the
official copy. For instance, as read and here
tofore printed the paragraph relative to re-
sumption of specie payment demanded that
the resumption clause be repealed. In the
official copy the word ''clause" is changed to
"date," so that the date of resumption is the
hindrance whose repeal the convention de-
manded. In the second place the Chinese
clause is omitted entirely in the official copy.

THE argus hears that President Grant
will send Gen. Sheridan to South Carolina
with every available soldier. This informa-
tion is undoubtedly the exclusive property of
the argus and we have reason to believe
that it is not true. If Gov. Chamberlain is
not able to protect the humblest citizen of
that state in the exercise of the rights of an
American citizen and cannot restrain the
political friends of the argus from intimi-
dating, beating and numbering defenceless
negroes, we trust that Gen. Sheridan will be
sent to South Carolina to the end that the
person and property of tbe humblest citizen
may be made as secure from molestation on
American soil as in foreign countries.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION.

The Republicans of Cumberland County are re-
quested to send delegates to meet in Convention in
Lancaster ball, Portland on THURSDAY, August
8, 1876, at 10 O'Clock m, to nominate candidates
for four Senators, Sheriff. County Attorney, County
Treasurer, and County Commissioner, to be support
ed at the State election in September.
Also to chooses County Committee, and to act on
any other business that may properly come before the
Convention.
The basis of representation will be as follows:
Each city and town will be entitled to one delegate
and one additional for every sixty votes cast for Sell
den Connor for Governor in 1875, A fraction of 35
votes in addition to the full number will entitle the
city or town to an extra delegate.
This basis will give the following delegates and ap-
