A letter received from Lake
Superior day or two ago, contains rumor
that Judge Clough, at the expiration of his
term of Office, is to take his family to New
York State and leave them, and that he is to
travel year in Europe before settling down
to bus;n ness again-Hwdson Star and Times.
We are pleased to learn that there is no
foundation whatever for the above rumor, and
that Judge Cloughs family will remain in
Superior at least until next winter.
1t would be hard to gather
together anywhere a pleasanter and more
agreeable and sociable lot of people than the
large party which surprised Col. Hayes and
his estimable lady at their residence on Fifth
street, last evening, and passed away the
time until well along toward the wee sma'
hours in pleasant conversation, music and
charades, not forgetting to mention the fine
collation. of good things provided by the
ladies. Such gatherings are quite rare in
Superior, but when they do occur, always
prove perfect success.

having left Duluth on Tuesday morning,
April 9th. She was followed in the afternoon
by the steam barge D. W. Rust, which got
caught by the ice last fall and wintered at
Duluth. During Tuesday night the steam
barge Mary Groh, owned by the Ashland
Lumber Company, and which wintered at
Bayfield,, arrived at Duluth and after taking
on miscellaneous cargo consisting of cattle,

Hatred of the Wrong Glass.

@"eA q" "a tAo " EoAS OAASSs
The debate in Congress upon the am
nesty question, in which Blaine made
such serious mistake for himself and
| MS party, was intended to arouse north
ern resentment towards not only the
| specially exempted Davis, but the whole
| people of the Southern states The de-
! sign was to inflame anew the slumbering
fires born OF civil war, to tear open the
healing wounds and rouse up the shock
ING passions of civil discord. IL has had
to certain extent that effect, among un-
reasoning and hide-bound politicians-the
men who wait Tor their leaders command
to adopt any course or opinion that is
likely to aid them in reaching the public
crib
This course is npatriotic-terriblv and
wickedly 50. 1t not only hinders that re-
conclllatlon and peace which the country
needs and demands but it kinlles resent
ment toward the wrong class The ex-
| cesSes anu passions Of the war are over,
and cannot now be helped. But the
wrongs now existing, the perpetrators of
which the people Of the whole country,
north and south, have reason to hate, are
those which sin against integrity and
corrupt both public and private morals
They are the crimes of men who steal,
cheat and deiraud on every favorable oc-
caslon and in every possible way. The
inventors OF the whiskey frauds and all
the abettors thereof, should be especially
abhorred, even though the trail, running
back through Joyce, Mcdonald and Bab-
cock, reaches to the feet of his excellency
the President The successful rogues
whose skill is such that their plans can
even direct suspicion SO near to the rep
resentatiye Of the nation, deserve especial
| public condemnation. 1t is likewise those
who swindle the ignorant and confiding
negroes, as in the case of the Freedman's
Bank fraud, that a Just wrath should
encompass. The reprobates who have
bound, robbed and impoverished entire
states, like Louisiana and South Carolina.
and placed scoundrels and thieves in iu-
dicial seats, especially give affront to the
whole country by blackening the fair
fame Of a nation. There should be in
dlgnation towards those who have so
confused and bungled the accounts of the
national treasury that nc one can tell the
national indebtedness, as well as for the
party that in the U. S. Senate labors to
suppress inquiry. For the promoters of
extravaganza that runs riot in govern
ment expenditures, the frauds in all de-
partments, and the absence of good old
fashioned honesty, there should be right
eous Indignation. For the faults. real or
alleged, that belong only to the past, and
which people are willing to forget in
the cause of nationality, union and pros
perity, there should be only oblivion. He
is not friend to the country who strives
to hinder this thrice blessed work. Let
us forget the faults of the time when laws
were silent, and punish those of to-day
which are defying all law.

The St. Lawrence Railroad.

The meeting held at Augusta on the
26th in the interest Of railroad communi-
cation between Quebec and the Maine
coast, was very well attended. Speeches
were made by prominent citizens, show
ing the desirability and practicability of
the enterprise. From Lewis, on the south
bank of the st. Lawrence, opposite Que
bee, the distance is 80 miles to the Maine
boundary. Forty-tive miles of this line
have been built, and next season 80 miles
more will be completed, bringing the rails
within Is miles of the boundary line From
the Maine boundary to the present termi-
nus of the Somerset Railroad, the distance
is 81 miles-where it will connect with the
railroad system of Maine.
We see that plan prominently before
the meeting, in this connection, was the
building of railroad from Augusta to
Wiscasset, to furnish an ocean outlet tor
this business, and the fact was cited that
Col. Long of the T. S. army made sur
vey of the Wiscasset and Quebec route 40
years ago. The speaker omitted to state
that Col. Long made three surveys from
the coast to Quebec-one from Portland,
one from Wiscasset, and one from Belfast
and that his report gives the Belfast
route the preference as more eligible and
advisable than either OF the other routes. =
| These reasons have lost none"of their force
since a railroad has been in operation
from Belfast in direct line nearly hall
the distance to the border
The fact is that railroad transportation
to the sea will always 60 by the nearest
and cheapest route and when trains from
the St. Lawrence commence to reach the
Maine Central, that company can senC
them to tide water at Belfast, on roaC
already built and running, in competition
with any and all other routes. This wa:

and the plan was set forth in the column:

special interest now attaches to every de-
tail of the mysterious seven. Many of
their appliances. it was remarked, were
"home-made' The gags were children 5
rubber balls, pierced with stiff wire.
The masks were drawer legs, with some
one hole, some two, for the eyes. When
the fellows noted that Mr.. Whittlesey was
watching them carefully for some mark
of identification they blindtolded him but
he observed that one OF them was of very
commanding stature. Mrs. Whittlesey
seems to have displayed rare wit and
presence Of mind throughout her trying
confinement. When being bound she
doubled up her hand so that she might
loosen the cords, but was commanded to
lay her hand flat Seeming to obey, she
still raised the hand enough to work it
out of the ropes when the time came. The
two or three burglars left to guard the
premises at the house took their depart

THE CRUSHING LOSS.
The full extent of the loss was not
known until O'Clock, when the bank OF
ticials had had time to fully examine their
affairs. The savings bank people, on the
floor above, wish it understood that their
securities can be in no way affected, as
their vault is entirely separated from that

Editors and Publishers Association.

The Editors and Publishers of the state met
in the Senate Chamber on Thursday evening OF
last week. In the absence of President Drisco,
Vice President VIM. Noyes took the chair. Mr..
Elwel read very interesting account OF the
last summers excursion. Several new men,
bers were admitted. Histories of the press in
several counties were read. The following Of
ticers were elected for the ensuing year.

A resolution of sympathy with Mr.. Dri>co
was adopted.
On Friday morning Il business meeting was
held, at which it was voted TO make a summer
excursion to the Centennial, and a committee
of arrangements therefor appointed. Various
matters Of business were transacted. In the
afternoon an essay was read by Mr.. Simpson
Of the Belfast journal. The kennebec Jour-
Lal says
The essay occupied just one hour i'll its deliy-
cry. 1t was Il finished and eminently appropri-
ate production, fitting into the space designed
for it, and rejecting credit upon Mr.. Simpson
as quick thinker and ready writer. If there
was any disappointment it was in the fact that
he gave his brothers of the press gang more
solid meat and less of crisp pie crust and sweet
meats than was expected, though these were
seen and keenly appreciated by his intelli-
gent audience, quiet vein of humor running
through and illuminating the whole. The
feast was greatly enjoyed.
On motion of Mr.. Elwell, the thanks of the
Association were extended to Mr.. Simpson fol
his admirable address, and copy of the same
requested for publication. Mr.. Homan re-
marked that the essayist had given us happy
relation of his own experience.

Such life as Mr. Winslow's it seems to us
illustrates the tendencies of the times. We see
it in the demoralizing influences of the gleat
war, the rage of speculation, the haste to get
rich by short cuts, the unsettng effect of a
false medium of exchange, and the canker of
corruption which has crept in with such ex-
travagance and bad politics. Boston Herald.
Yes, and it illustrates still further that
the most dangerous and corrupt politi-
clans are those who claim superior merit
and virtue because of their exalted piety
who insult religion by false preten-
sions, and under its cloak rob honest men
who have made no such professions The
banks of Boston and the stockholders of
the Post would be better off to-day if that
paper had been managed BY man who
knew what business integrity meant, even
though he sometimes attended the theatre,
or even went fishing Sunday. This re-
forming politics BY religious fervor that
begets forgery can scarcely be called an
improvement.
