The proof was insufficient to hold them, however,

We have been shown by the venerable Rev. W.
A. Drew, small daguerreotypc Of a scene on the
Kenncbec river, in this city, taken Nov. 26th,
lS49. The scene represented in the picture is on
the east side Of the river opposite the town land
ing, and looking from the "lazy pole, an institu-
ton long since departed, but which will be recall
ed by many Of our older citizens The picture
shows 9 large and full rugged ship which had re-
Gently been launched, lying at the wharf. The
name Of the ship is Commonwealth" and it was
built under tbs superv ision of Master Jones, who
turned out good many vessels in Augusta. The
ship-yard and ways from which the vessel glided
may be seen in the rear. q little to the left, and
near the vessel are schooner and little steamer
that used to glide up and down the Kennebec on
her regular trips. Prominent among the build
ings are shown what is now St. Catharine's Hall,
and the large residences Of Judge Fuller, Gov.
Cony and Gen. Sewall. The ship lies just south
of where the old distillery used to stand. The
picture brings back wildly the scenes of other
days, and many Of oar people would be glad to
look upon it.

THE PRESIDENCY,
Blaine'S Opinion In Regard TO
The Situation.
THE LOUISIANA BOARD CON.
MENCE TO COUNT.
The Board Composed of HOnOra-
bic Gentlemen.


New YORK, November 20. Senator Blaine
passed through the city Saturday. In converse
ton with reporter, he said there was no founda-
ton for the Washington Iumor connecting his
name with the presidency of the Senate. The
traditions of parliamentary usage in the Senate
and his own personal wishes would be equally op-
posed to such step. lie seemed little sensitive
lest any one should imagine he could entertain for
moment the thought of such thing.
In regard to the Presidential election, MI
Blaine remarked that for twenty years he had
feared just such a crisis as is now uIon u, aud
that the strain was coming on the weakest part
OF the machinery OF the federal constitution. He
expressed the opinion that both Governor Hayes
and Governor Tlden had exhibited admirable
prudence and propriety during these last eventful
days. To their bearing, he thought was due in
great part, the cessation of public excitement on
tie question.
New YORK, November 20. A New Orleans
despatch to the Times says many democrats are

countenance attempts to defraud the republicans
out of fruits of honest victory.
Efforts at compromise have been made with
Kellogg and Packard, but unsuccessfully. Dem
ocrats animated to Packard that he could be gov
ernor If he would influence the Board to give the
electors to TIlden. lie replied that he had no
influence with the Board which was composed of
honorable men.
A similar proposition was made to a member of
the Board who Indignantly refused to listen to
them and protested against any further attempts
to influence the action OF the Board.

Mr.. EDITOR :-Iu the Lincoln Couny News Of
