Governor Hayes is so pure mar: That the
Democrats can't lie about him. In illustra-
ton, this crcditablc retraction is made by
the Cincinnati Enquirer Of the bounty mo-
! ney story: Some three weeks ago we re-
ceiyed from Cleveland, Ohio, letter signed
John Somerton, in which some charges were
made against Governor Hayes in connection
with the bounty money of a lot of desertcrs
from his brigade. We published the letter
in good faith. Since that time the Cleve-
land papers have called upon John Somer-
ton to come forward and substantiate his
charges. They say that no such man lives
in Cleveland. AS John has failed to make
himself known. we conclude that we were
imposed upon. We feel that we owe Gov
Hayes an apology

Those languages are exceedingly concise, and he
who writes 10 them does well. And if they are
not translated WELL it is not the fault Of the writer
evidently but Of the translator. But Mr.-do
please give the devil, be he Greek or Choctaw

rors, especially when he translates them for you

On Tuesday evening the Christian Band
Of North Warren held their annual meeting
in their hall. The exercises consisted of select
readings, an original poem, an original essay and
music. Rev. Mr. Written was called upon for re
marks, at the close of which Mr.. VIM. Lawry pre-
sented to him, in neat Speech "Neander's Church
History" in five volumes. A very unexpected and
acceptable favor.
nv Association was pleasant affair. The stage
scenes were good. The WAX Figgers" some
thing of novelty and burlesque. The tables
were well loaded with the generous gifts Of OUT
citizens. The net receipts were about S55. This

The library history is quite an Interesting one,
as it has been patronized very generally by all
classes. Its existence dates back twenty lone
years, and its number of books, though not large
is about four hundred, is choice, consisting oil
standard works OF general ana special histories
biographies, encyclopedias, scientific works, and
miscellaneous. The last part has been the most
read though all show thai they have been used.

must stop. Let them stop, says Buckner. 1t is

used by spectators, and this effort to make the

NalIomell Local Mems.

Hon. Neal Dow was greeted on Monday eve
ming by one Of the largest and most attentive aud
fences ever assembled in Wilson Hall, numbering
at fair estimate at least one thousand people, all
apparently interested in the eloquent and conyinc-
ing address Of the speaker. The General seems
to have lost none Of the enthusiasm or vigor OF
his younger days, when his persistent efforts
reused the people of this State to take advance
ground on the temperance question; ground that
has been nobly maintained to the present time,
giving Maine world wide reputation as the
founder of prohibitory legislation against the
traffic in intoxicating liquors. We will not attempt
| to give a synopsis of Gen. BOWS lecture and can
only say that for nearly two hours he held his vast
| audience to the line of his argument, without
| sign CT tagging interest on the part Of anyone
present. BY special invitation the members of
| st. Patrick's temperance society were in attend
ance and occupied seats reserved for them near
the 'front.' while the officers took positions assigned
upon the platform. The society was cordially
welcomed by Rev. Mr.. IaLecheur, President of
the Reform Club, and Mr.. Z. Stafford President
of st. Patrick,s society, responded appropriately.
Excellent music was provided by an extemporized
choir Of amateur singers from the various soc:e-
ties of our city. At the close of the lecture the
pledge was signed by many in the audience, and
votes of thanks were extended to Gen Dow fer
his able address, and to Mr. Wilson, proprietor of
the hall; for his courtesies ON the occasion. On
the whole this may be considered one Of the most
successful temperance meetings ever held in this
city. Notice was given of another regular meet
ing at City Hall, two weeks from Monday eve

UROPE.
The Turkish InsurrectiOn.

London January Is. The Times publishes
letter from Vienna, giving the following details of
the instruction in the Turkish province Partly
from sincere wish to end the instruction, and
partly from anxiety TO escape intervention, the
sublime Porte is making great efforts to achieve
paclhcation unaidcd. The new Turkish COM
mander Mukhtar Pasha, and the new Governor
All Pasha, are to cooperate to that end The
former by military dispositions and the latter BY
political and diplomatic activity. The severe
checks the insurgents have recently suffered, and
the large achievements the Turks have lately
ceived, render offensive operations by the insur-
gents very improbable. Mukhtar Pasha seems
likewise to have instructions not to operate against
the insurgents but to begin by the occupation OF
important positions, aud the debauchcs of the
Montenegrin frontier; thereby sort of Gordon
will be drawn to prevent the Nfontenegrns assist
ing the insurgents, and the Turkish arms being
turned against those attempting to pass the from
tier. So tar as munitions of and provisions
are concerned such disposition might answer
but it would be ineffective against the passage Of
arms OF mountaineers. The sort of truce thus es-
tabshed with the insurgents will be utilized by
the Governors summoning an assembly of notables
at Nostar, to draft report of the grievance of
the country to be sent direct to the Sultan. The
Sultan Will then consider all the just complaints
and make special concession to Herzegovina
While Herzegovina is within the province of Bos-
MIA, 60 concessions will be possible without ex-
tending them to Bosnia; also which is scarcely
practicable on account of the much larger popula.
ton of Masselmons, in Bosnia, who are already so
excited and so fanacal that there ia great danger
Of an outbreak leading to serious excuses In
order to solve this difficulty Herzegovina will be
created an independent province. The circum-
stances Of the two provinces are very different
the proportion of Mohamedans to Christians in
Bosnia being at four to six, and Herzegovina
about one to two. None of the powers will .rudge
Turkey the merits of pacityng the insurgents I'M
aided. On the contrary, all of them will be re-
lieved from much Inconvenience and anxiety only
after the previous frutess efforts. It is doubtful
whether at this eleventh hour one is likely to be
much more successful.

eral oranges which they represented, which they
said were prosperous.
