Captain BOytOn's Swim.

Captain Paul Boyton will go up the river
this afternoon On The steamer Bismarck, as
far as Bayou Goula, 100 miles above the
city. On Thursday afternoon, at i've o'clock,
he will don his swimming dress and take to
the water, commencing his journey down
stream. He will swim and float on the river
for twenty four consecutive hours, expect
ing to arrive at the foot of Canal street
at five o'clock on Friday afternoon. This
will be a longer run than Captain Boy
has ever attempted. The temperature Of
the water is moderately cold, enough SO to
chill an ordinary bather in fifteen minutes.
This feat will fully test Captain Boy
toms powers of endurance, and the
value of his life preserving dress, which
would be a handy thing to have on board in
case of shipwreck. He will be followed on
his Journey by boat containing disinter-
ested Judges. who will see that he performs
what he promises. He will carry refresh
ments with him in the form of little
brandy and lunch, and during the night
will make frequent signals, showing his
position in the river. In the water with
his apparatus the captain looks like some
huge sea monster, and his only fear is that
some hunter may attempt to take his life.

To the Editor of the Press

To the Editor of the Press
Thirteen years ago when James G. Blaine
was actively supporting the Union cause, Gen.
Hunton, his malignant ass ailant, was In the
rebel army and his estate at New Baltimore,
Va, was being protected by soldiers of the
Fifth Maine Regiment. To-day a Democratic
triumph has placed the ex-rebel and believe
unrepentant General, with sixty other asso-
ciates in arms, in Congress, and this one is now
the chairman of committee to investigats
Mr. Blaine and has made himself conspicuous
for his exhibitions of partisan malignity. The
man who should be on impartial investigator
as fair as Judge on the bench-stands accused
to..attemptng to prepare, and bias witnesses to
so testify as to ruin Mr.. Blaine.
Thank Godl James G. Blaine stands to-day
with his honor unsullied-a noble representa-
tive of the stern loyalty of the dark days OF
the war, and abundantly able thus far to hurl
defiance in the teeth of his enemies.
Why is it that his political enemies have
turned all their guns upon Mr.. Blaine? Sim
ply because he has proved himself the best
fitted of the Republican aspirants for the
Presidency to lead our party to overwhelming
victory.
Thus far the efforts of ex-Confederate leaders
have only served to st strengthen Mr.. Blaine and
call forth from the great mass of the Rspubli-
can voters deeper regard. 4 stronger attach
ment and more thorough admiration than
exists for any man named for the position.
Well did gentleman, who in the past has
been anything but Blaine man, 4emark to-
day: "Mr. Blaine has shown himself one of
the ablsst as we'll as one of the most brilliant
men of the times" FIFTH MAINE.

CLAW and RIaine.

When James G. Blaine rose yesterday In the
House of Representatives to defend himself
against an accusation involving all the offences
charged against Henry Clay, he simply recalled
and repeated history by his manly bearing and
bold defiance of his foes. When Henry Clay
was assailed in 1S24-25 there were many
mean-spirited exhibitions, many evidences Of
envy and hatred, but there was no such spec-
men as that of the man who came forward
few days ago for the purpose of destroying the
reputation of james G. Blaine. 1t is not for
us to impugn motives, but we think history will
be searched in vain for another evidence of
such cool, deliberate, and merciless cruelty as
that displayed by Mulligan against Blaine. He
seems to have been inspired by Satanic pur-
pose No considerations, whether OF Mr.
Blaine himself, of his family, or of his high
standing before the country, moderated his re-
venge. He became tbeimpersonation Of Hate;
and yet, as in all such cases, his pretended pa
triotism became an actual persecution, In
hunting down Blaine, he has simply enabled
Blaine to vindicate himself, aud to show to the
country that ne has passed the fiery furnace
unscathed-at least, If not unscathed, so puri-
fed by the ordeal as to qualify him BY this very
W.
The attack upon Henry Clay fity-two years
ago only sealed him. So it will be- with the
young statesman from Maine. Indeed, be has
established himself in the popular affection
more firmly by the very manner In which
he has met and routed his assail-
ants. We know him now. All that there Is
of James G. Blaine has been thrown open to
his couDtrymen. Every scandal, public and
private, has been raked up and spread before
the world. He will go into the Presidency, IL
nominated at Cincirnati, purified by the
flames of persecution. No new falsehood can
be hatched against him. If the Republicans
are as true to him as he has been true to them,
they will write his name on all their banners,
and he will carry them to triumph so sure, and
to an administration so secure that all the fran
chises rescued from the rebellion will be con-
solidated into the bone and fibre of our institu-
tions. tits worth something to have man who
has defied and trampled under foot every ale
cation against his public and private character.
Before we put such man into high-position.
it is an indestructabe guarantee of his future
fidelity that, in addition to his own personal
vndication, we have tried him In regard to
lofter necessities-his fitness for government
bis fidelity to principle, and his conscientious
devotion to great and underlying obligations
A statesman who has run such guantlet and
been pursued by such enmities, Is, we believe,
better qualified to carry the burdens and TO dis.

Republican National Convention.

The next Cniou Republican National Convention
for the nomination of candidates for President and
VcePresident of the United States will be held in
the city Of Cincinnati, Wednesday, the fourteenth
day OF june 1876, at II O'Clock noon and will consist
OF delegates from each State equal to twice the num-
Der OF its Senators and Representatives in Congress-
and OF Two delegates from each organized Territory
and the district of Columbia.
In calling the conventions for the election of dele
g1tes the committees of the several States are re-
commended to invite all Republican electors and all
other voters, without regard to past political dit
ferences or previous party affiliations who are
opposed to reviving sectional issues and desire to
promote friendly feeling and permanent harmony
throughout the country by maintaining and enforcing
all the constitutional rights of every CITIZEN incud-
ing the full and free exercise OF the right of suffrage
without intimidation and without fraud; who are in
IaVor OF the continued prosecution and punishment
OF an ofcial dishonesty, and economical adminis-
traton OF the Government by honest faithful and ca
forms In government as experience may from time to
me suggests who are opposed to impairing the cred
OF the nation by depreciatng any of its obligations
and IN favor OF sustaining in every way the national
faith and financial honor; who hold that the common
scno0l system is the nursery of American liberty and
should be maintained absolutely free from sectarian
c0ntFol who believe that for the promotion of these
ends, the direction of the Government should con-
tnue to be confded to those who adhere to the prn-
the Constitution and the laws and who are in favor
OF recognizing and Strengthening the fundamental
principle OF National Unity in this Centennial An
nyersary of the birth OF the Republic.

AND now comes the Chicago Tribune with
remarkable piece of news. Not only were
Mr.. Blaine's parents and all his brothers and
sisters Catholics, but shis excellent and ami
able wife is one, and the children are being
raised in that faithv' Now this is news. The
good people of Augusta, the native place OF
the ex-Speaker's wife, have always regarded
her as an active member of the Congrega-
tional society, and member cf that church.
They must, however, be laboring under a
mistake all these years, since the Tribune is
very positive about the matter. We further
more learn from the same positive authority,
that Mr.. Blaine "can hardly be called a
Protestant" as she belongs to no Christian
denomination" Heretofore there has been
the best cause to believe that Mr.. Blaine was
a member of the Congregational church in
Augusta. The members of that church and
Mr.. Blaine himself have hitherto been very
positive that he was Congregationalist.
They are doubtless wrong. The Chicago
Tribune is infallible, and like G.. w. cannot

TIE tribune hears of two Cincinnati dele
gates converted TO Blaine by visit to Wash
ington, last week.
The Kennebec Journal learns that Gen.
Samuel j. Anderson of this city will be pre-
sented as Democratic candidate for Cover
nor.
Rumor in Washington says Sunset Cox is
liable TO 90 over TO the infationists sufficient
ly to crafty Mr.. Hendricks, and perhaps
help Cox for the.vice-presidency
Brstow is said to be Iowa's second choice,
and, according to the Chicago Tribune, there
is renewed activity among his supporters in
the West.
Maine Republicans are so nearly unani-
nous and enthusiastic for "Baine of Maine''
that on the subject of second choice they are
probably rather "Hayesy" than otherwise.
Mr.. Conkling's friends are said to be conf
dent, and gossip intimates that Messrs. Nor
ton and Bristow's friends have made COM
bination. 1t may be remarked that gossip
frequently lies.
Speaking of the ignorance of a Memphis
band, of national airs, local Democratic pa
per says that ''Dixie' is the national air Of
the South, and as the band can play that
there is no good cause for complaint.
General Dix, who ought to know, says that
Tilden ia an unfair politician. He thinks if
Tilden is nominated the Bill Allen crowd will
bolt, and oice versa; but, bolt or not, he
thinks Tden win prove weak candidate.
The Boston Advertiser says that Mr..
Blaine, whom it has so ably defended during
the assault of the Mulligan guards, declares
that his friends must not demand his nomin-
alton because he has been so wrongfuly
used by the ex-Rebel Committee in Congress.
Mr.. Robson has not called the chiefs of
bureaus with which the Cattells had dealings,
and there is demand that he shall summon
Paymaster Bradford home from Europe. On
the other hand, it is said that the internal
revenue returns credit him with an income
of $4,000, back in 1866.
The leading Democratic paper in San Fran
cisco intimates pretty broadly that ex-Sena-
tor Casserly was defeated for delegate to St.
Louis in the California Democratic State Con-
vention by fraudulent vote. These re
formers" even cheat each other.
Ex-senator Brownlow looks upon Gov.
Hayes as probably the strongest of comprom-
Use candidates. He says that he has excellent
executive ability and the confidence of the
people, is an available candidate, and mas no
bitter opponents, no questionable record, and
nothing to put his party on the defensive.
