The democratic government of Texas has man

more than its receipts during the past year.
The Steubenville CO., Gazette is one Of those
democratic journals which still rebel against

put Tilden and Hendricks at the head.

When Mr.. Proctor Knott received the Caldwell

any one know Of its existence, except his confed-

he also suppressed Caldwell's affidavit for whole

he had received it by the same mail that brought
the copy to the Boston Herald. This was a posi-

REUNION OF MAINE SOLDIERS AND
SAILORS.
PORTLAND, MAY 3lst, 1876.

PORTLAND, MAY 3lst, 1876.
To the Erecuige Committee of the seyeral Regi-
mental Organizations, and Soldiers and Sailors
Of Maine generally, rho Serced IN the late Re
belhon.
At a meeting of the Executive Committee Of
the Association of Maine Soldiers, held in Grand
Army Hall, Portland, May II, 1875, at which were
present representatives from nearly all of the reg
iments of the State, it was decided that an En-
campment, as originally proposed, is impractical
BILE the present season, and in place thereof, it
was decided to invite the several Regmental Or
CARNATIONS and Batteries to celebrate their re-
spectve reunions at Portland, on the same day.
and Thursday, August 10, 1875, was fixed as the
time. 1t is proposed to make an excursion to one
of the islands in Portland harbor, on that day,
where the several organizations will have an op-
portunity to hold their annual meetings, and such
other exercises as they may desire. Arrange
ments, however, will be made by the General
Committee, for amusements proper to such an &C.
casion, together with breakfast arrival of the
steamer at the island, and mammoth clam bake,
in which all will participate without regard to
ganization. Steamers will start for the Island at
A. NJ. On the evening of Wednesday, August
9th, 1876, a general Camp Fire will be held in
City Hall, Portland, at which all are requested to
attend. 1t is expected that this will be of the
pleasantest features of the reunion. General
Chamberlain, President of the Association, will
preside. Suitable music is to be in attendance for
the occasion. The General Committee, in order
to make the necessary arrangements, will depend
upon the reports of the Executive Committees of
the several organizations, which must be submit
ted to the chairman Of this committee as early as
August lst stating the number of persons who
will be actually present. 1t must be distinctly
understood that provision will be made only for
those so reporting. Soldiers and Sailors who are
not connected with any existing organization, are
requested to notify the committee by letter, so
that they may be provided for. Arrangements
can undoubtedly be made with the several rail-
roads for reduced rates. and also with the hotels.
1t is expected that the expense Of the re union
will not exceed $l.75 per man.
Organizations and individuals on arriving in
Portland on the afternoon of August 9th, are re-
quested to report at the headquarters Of the Gen
eral Committee, at Grand Army Hall, corner OF
Congress and Casco streets.
