DEATH OF CAPT. CHAs. LITTLEJoHN.-Capt
Charles Littlejohn died at - o'clock yesterday,
at his residence on Waterville street, at the age
of GA years. His numerous friends will be
sally respected by all who knew him. He has
been suffering with painful disease at times
for two years or more, but has been out unit
within three or four weeks, since which time
he has been confined to his house, and his
friends confidently hoped he would be out again
until within few days. Capt. Littlejohn was
born in Portland. and commenced to gosto sea
when very young, and was master of a vessel
when still very young man, and so continued
until 1862, always successful, and was, we be-
lieve, never shipwrecked. In 1868 he went into
the ship brokerage and commission business
in the well known firm of Littlejohn & Chase.
In this business he was successful and remain
ed in it until 1869, when he retired from active
business, owing largely to his poor health
Since then he has engaged in business where
he has met with severe losses as his friends
we'll know. But all will agree that he was a
strictly honest man, kind hearted, generous to
fault, and had, we believe, no enemies. He
has long been member of the Portland Lodge
of Masons, also member of the Portland
Commandery of Knights Templar. He leaves
wife but no children. His funeral will take
place tomorrow at his late residence.

The widow of Mosher, who was killed
at Bay Ridge, Long Island, visited wes-
tervelt in the Eastern penitentiary, Penn
sylvania, on Saturday, and told him that If
he would tell all he knew about the kid
mapping Of Charley Ross she would procure
BIN pardon within ten days. The pris-
oner denied any knowledge of the sad af-
fair other than that he went into the con-
spiracy in the hope OF gaining the reward.
Mrs. Mosher pleaded with him to mako a
full confession, but he stouily asserted his
innocence in the matter. The interview
thus resulted fruitlessly.
A woman was lately elected superin-
tendent of schools in Iowa, whereat her
masculine competitor, one Huff, waXed
huffy, and sought to prove that the lady
could not, under the constitutional test of
citizenship, legally hold the office. The
circuit court sustained the irate Huff.
Thereupon IL Legislature passed a bill
which declares that mo person shall he
deemed ineligible, by reason of sex, 10 any
school office in the State of Iowa" Eleven
women superintendent were thereby made
happy.

GENTEEL HACK DRIvINa.-A four-in-
hand club has been organized by some of
the young men Of means and leisure in
New York, and they propose to drive
coaches from Madison or Union Square to
New Rochelle, and other points above the
city, taking passengers at so much head
and delivering parcels with promptness
and care. They will own their own turn
outs and drive them, not to make money,
but TO create sensation and crafty de-
sire to drive a spanking team for the ex-
element and pleasure of the thing. There
is no originality in the notion, as the young
bloods of England have done the same
thing time out of mind, and some of the
Brighton coaches are famous for the wealth
and rank ofthe drivers aud the amount of
money they have spent to crafty their
passion for this peculiar excitement.

Words to the Wise.

The best way to preserve the peace
of the Government is to keep in
power the party that conquered the
rebellion and secured peace. The
Democratic party is under the in
fuence of the ex-Confederate ele-
ment. No one can deny this. A
solid South for Tlden means South
ern supremacy in the Democratic
party, and nothing else. For loyal
men to blind themselves 20 this fact
as sheer madness.
If what the nation won, by hard
fighting, by the sacrifice OF halt a
million lives and $4,000, 900. 900, is
worth keeping, the party that
brought about the result in the face
OF rebellion and Democratic opposl-
ton must be kept in power until a
more loyal organization comes to the
front to take its place.
To accept democracy is to go
backward, to throw away the fruits
of the war, to place upon freemen,
black and white, the chains of sla-
very.
The issues is as plain as it was
when the rebel armies confronted our
forces in 1864. Tilden stands to-day
where Mcclellan stood then. Nc
Clellan's election would have given
existence to the Southern Confeder-
acy. Tilden's election will revive in
to life and restore to power all those
evil forces which were suppressed at
Appomattox.
Can the nation afford this ? Can
business men afford it? Can hu-
mainly and civilization afford it :?
Let the true state of affairs be
Numbered into the ears Of the people.
If we are to have peace in the future
the elements that disturb it must be
expelled from power. Democracy is
the disturbing element. BY accident
it gained control of the House of
Representatives, by design it must
surrender that control to the party
that has a right, by reason of its wis
dom, its loyalty, and its sacrifices to
hold il
