Concerning Nuisances.

The conductor of the Bangor Daily Com
mercial has for a long time uttered pro-
tests against q terrible nuisance that has
been permitted to exist for three months,
in a building directly opposite his office.
A collection of wild animals, managed by
one Dan Ducello, is housed there, for eX-
hibition to such misled spectators as can
be enticed by the sound of a discordance
from the usual instruments OF such places,
reinforced by the grinding of hand organ
Of diabolical size and power. The effect
Of the roaring of lions, bowling Of tigers,
laughing of hyenas and chattering of
monkeys, to the accomplishments of such
a band upon the indispensable peace and
quiet of newspaper office, may be I'M
agined. Let any one who has endured
such nuisance for an hour or two, mag
inc it stationed under his window for six
months. with no escape from it.
Mr.. Emerys appeals to the city solicitor
for the enforcement of the law, and for his
rights us a citizen and tax payer, are met

And all this sad lament because jeff Davis is
not to be amnestied, 50 as to appear Dem
ocratic hero ut the Centennial Celebration. We
have great fear that the editor of the journal
who is one of the Commissioners for the State
will get mad and not 90 to Philadelphia lust
on account of it. Prog. Age.
We wonder that the Age, with its ac-
customed sharpness, don't see special rea-
son why we should attend that celebra-
ton, without reference to jeff Davis.
That paper has for many years accused
us of sympathy with rebels. and at Phil
adel phla is to be comm emorated the re-
bellion OF hundred years ago. We
want to refresh our memory with rcmin-
iscences of Geo. Washington Thomas
Jefferson, Ben. Franklin, John Adams,
and all the rebels of that time-and to
forget as far as possible the patriots Of to-
day who have got rich on paper credits,
shoddy contracts, salary grabs and whis-
key thieving. We shall go, sure.

Lands has been acquitted Of the muir
der Of Carruth, the Nineland editor. That
he put bullet in his head was admitted,
but the lawyers confused the jury with a
theory that Lands was insane, and that
the doctors killed the man by poking in
his brain after the ball And besides Ian
dis Is rich. But, in all truth and justice,
there was never cooler or more deliber-
ate murder since Cain. If this sort Ct
thing is to continue, it will be necessary
for an editor to be as expert with the pis-
tol rs the pen.

The statement lately published in some of the
papers in this State that Lucius II. Murch has
become assistant editor of the Progressive Age
is entirely untrue. He never has written IA line
OF editorial matter for this paper. For the last
few weeks that the Weekly Advertiser was
published Mr.. Murch, who was editor of that
paper, furnished us with some local news items
for the Age, and he continued to furnish some
of the same class of items for II week or two
after the Advertiser suspended publication. but
he has had no other connection with this paper
in any way. Mr.. Murch is Il Democrat of the
most radical kind, and is now one of the lead
ers of his party in this city and county, being
at present Il member of the Democratic State
Committee. and also chairman of the Demo
cratic County Committee, it is not at all
likely we shall ever employ him as assistant
editor of this paper. Prog. Age.
1t seems that the statement alluded 10
gave Mr. Murch Il position of too great
consideration-and that by the eXplana-
ton OF the Age he descends from the po-
siton Of assistant editor to that of an oc-
casional furnisher of local items, who
comes and goes rs he is hidden, from
week to week. The sheer with which
the Age parades the standing in the
DellocIatlc party ol tne member Oh Inc
state and county committees who con-
SCENTS to become its lackey, is lily con-
cealed. Whole columns of the Ages
abuse of the Democracy, end with this
sinister thrust, and some mock compli-
meats to ga Democrat of the most rad
cal kind who, as the representative OF
the party in this county, gives the Age an
opportunity to set its own party on the
broad grin by the allusion quoted. lone

to make the Democracy laughing stock
at least without an inquiry as to whittier

ment for its misdeeds, as to nominate its
head, the notorious Boss Shepherd, to be

this matter, as in the San Domingo bust

ton of the merits of the municipal lin
provements" which have bankrupted the
District of Columbia, and are now charged
upon the National Treasury.
The Republican party have proved no
exception to the general rule that parties
long possessed of power tend inevitably TO
corruption. The Custom house frauds. the
Sanborn molety contracts, the populations
and embellishments of the Post masters
and Paymasters, the Pacific Mail Bribery,
the Credit Mobilier swindle, the navy ring
frauds, and the robberies Of the whisky
thieves, all perpetrated within the bosom
Of the party of Republican office holders,
are evidences Of the crying need tor puri-
fication and reform The bribery at cleo
tions, the open purchase of seats in the
Senate of the United States by promises of
office and payments Of money, and the
loose and Indifferent way in which politi-
cal corruption is regarded in many quar-
tiers. are mournful signs OF a decadence of
honor and conscience in our political life
1t rests with the people to say whether
the government shall be still further de-
graded, and the men who have brought
it to its present low estate intrusted with
longer lease Of power. Shall it be said
that the breed of noble men is lost, and
| that the conduct OF affairs in this Republic
permanently captured by political buck
sters, by men who make merchandise OF
office, and treat power as perquislte Of
their personal ambition

The charges Of Blaine concerning the
responsibility of JEFF. Davis for the death
of Union prisoners, has brought out a re-
spouse from the ex-president of the con-
iederacy, He says that both federal and
confederate records, disprove the charge,
and that all the ingenuity of government
attorneys failed to substantiate it. He
says that no exchange could be procured,
after repeated applications, that northern
prisoners received all the attention and
care that was possible under the circum-
stances, and that 5000 more confederate
prisoners died in northern prisons, than
Federal soldiers in southern prisons, al
though the number of prisoners held in
the South were 10000 in excess. The let
ter concludes as follows
Mutual respect is needtul for the common
