Senator Hamliu Of Maine, whose lncompetency
has been especially conspicuous in his Efforts to
tinker the post Office laws of the country, says he
don't care fig for the newspapers. The re-
mark was entirely supertluous, for no one ever
supposed that he did after his successful efforts
during the last session to circumscribc their circu-
lation hut the newspapers VIII have to care for
him. The press takes no stock IN Hannibal liam
ln-Bostozs Herald.
Thus speaks Of Names honored and
lono-tried Senator. one Of the nastiest,
most .jesuitical and unscrupulous Demo-
cratic newspapers in the country. The
occasion of this attack on Mr. Hamlin was
his recent speech in the Senate on the Post
Office laws and rates, one OF the most clear,
full, and comprehensive statements OF the
purposes and necessities of the postage
questions ever given in Congress. 1t was
listened to with great interest by the mem
bers of that body, and the leading Re-
publican and Democratic Senator'S alike
commended and endorsed it. The legis-
lation he advocated was promptly voted
by the Senate. No candid person can
read the speech without being struck with
the fairness of its arguments and the
thoroughness with which it presents the
history and the practical workings OF the
Post Office Department. For this the
Herald and other violent Democratic
sheets abuse the venerable Senator

The Philadelphia North American thus alludes


to Mr.. Blaine:
"The contemporaneous expressions, similar in
reason and conclusion, drawn from the east, west,
centre and south, show that Mr.. Blaine is gaining
new friends daily and in every part of the land.
No man named has any equal advocacy, and with
out disparaging an it Is safe 10 say that no one
who has been suggested has any share of Mr.:
Blaine's various CONNIE nda,ions. lie has gained
at all points since be was first named, and contin-
ues to gain"
The scandal mongcrs have at last commenced
the work of demoli,hng Mr. Blaine, SO far with
very poor success. lie meets the charges as fast
as they are put forth, and hurls back the
ISLANDERS so enphatcally to give the public con-
fdence in his integrity of character. 1t Is but
just to Mr.. Blaine to say that while his political
enemies have made many insinuations as to his
great wealth and the manner Of its requirement,
so far no dishonest practices have been proved
against him and. in this respect. his public record
stands uusullicd and arnished.-Bridgfon

never was remedy so popular wherever known,

principles and calculated by the most acco nplished

the cures made by il have not only been numerous
but remarkable As to excite pubic attention ana

remedy even before compounded.
While many are anxious To make public their tes-
tmony in favor of the Radical Cure, others and

GOTERNOR TILDENS DEFENCE.
Gov. Tilden stands charged with very grave Of
fences in the management of the st. Louis, Alton
and Terre Haute railroad. He is accused, in con-
nection with others who got the property under
their control, of grossly abusing the trust to his
own enrichment and to the injury of the rightful
owners. IT is the conviction of candid men who
have examined the subject that the charges are
well-founded.
Until now no reply has been made on behalf of
Governor Tilden At length an answer is present
ed, and the peculiar circumstances surrounding it
deserve special note Last fall the Tammany fac
ton in New York nominated for Judge of the
Marine Court one j. 7. Sinnot who had been, and
still practically was, clerk in Mr.. Tilden's law
Office. lie was beaten by % 600 majority. A few
weeks ago his successful competitor died. Al
most before the body of the dead Judge was cold
Gov. Tilden, without sending the nomination to
the Senate at all and in defiance of the adverse
popular verdict, appointed Sinnott TO the vacancy.
This proceeding was doubly censurabe, both be-
cause it trampleG upon the will of the people who
had rejected Sinnott by overwhelming vote
and because it disregarded the obvious propriey,
if not the legal obligation, of consulting the Sen
ate as part of the appointing power. But there
was evidently some peculiar and close connection
between Tiden and Sinnott and the appointment
was made .-A{bdHy journal.

FROM QUEBEC TO THE SCI.

TO tie Editor Of tie Jouraal
1t may be interesting at the present time, to ex-
anime the relative distances of Montreal and Que
bee from the two best harbors on our coast, first
by the present railroad connection with Portland,
then by the proposed route from Q lbec to Wis
casset we find them as follows;
From Montreal to Portland by the
Grand Trunk, ~. miles.
From Quebec to Portland by the
Grand Trunk, 80
From Quebec, by way Portland 10
Augusta, $50
From Montreal, by way Of Port
land to Augusta, 800
Now compare these with the distances by the
proposed route from Quebec. We have 2fo miles
from Quebec to Wiscasset 81 miles less than from
Montreal to Portland. We have from Quebec to
Portland by way of Augusta, 21S miles; saving
over the present route from Quebec to Portland of
II miles. This is very significant fact showing
that Augusta is on the direct route from Quebec
to Portland, where there is one of the best har-
bors in the State, and AZ miles nearer than by its
present railroad route; also bringing Quebec by the
way of Augusta nineteen miles nearer Portland
than Montreal is by the Grand Trunk road The
computation by which this result is reached, it
may be desirable to present, and is as follows:
