IFrom the Bangor Wing and Courier.
The State TreasurerShip.

We are sure that the general public will
share the unfeigned regret with which we
announce that Hon. Silas c. Hatch feels
Obliged 10 decline being a candidate for
reelection to the Office of State Treasurer,
which he has filed with such conspicuous
ability and success for The past three years.
Mr.. Hatch seriously contemplated retiring
from the office last year. but was dissuad-
ed by the earnest desire of his friends and
prominent citizens throughout the State,
who appreciated the value of his services
to the State; but the personal considera-
tons which he waived at that time have
become imperative. his own impaired
health and q peculiarly sad case of con-
firmed invalidism in his family, demanding
his release from the fatigue and confne-
ment Of such responsible official duties.
Having fully decided upon his course after
mature deliberation, Mr.. Hatch has very
CONSIDERABLY deemed it proper to have the
the claims of applicants to be presented
and considered by the representatives of
the people. -ee-'
During his occupancy of the position
Mr.. Hatch has won the confidence and re-
spect Of the public whose interests he has
had in charge, by the unremittng zeal he
has displayed in guarding every interest of
the State, and bis good judgment and sa-
gacity have been employed to the great
advantage Of the financial affairs of Maine.
He is recognized by all having an eye
ton ard the public funds as a veritable
"Wateh-dog of the Treasury and the
namber of doubtful claims that have been
thwarted by his vigilance would make a
long list. We doubt if this or any other
State has ever had an official in an impor-
tant position of trust who more thoroughly
identified the public interests with his
own, and in retiring from the office of
Treasurer at the close of his present term,
Mr.. Hatch will have the satisfaction of
leaving our State finances in a most ex
cellent condition, with record of his own
which himself, his personal friends and
his wide constituency may regard with
pleasure.
Mr.. Hatch would undoubtedly have been
reelected Treasurer by the unanimous
vote of the republicans of the legislature,
and the duty Of choosing competent and
worthy successor for that very responsible
position will be among The most important
Of the coming session.

The old rebel spirit survives the fall of the Con-

democrats and four negroes killed.
The Nashua Telegraph says Of the republican
meeting at Concord last week: ''The absolute
fact is that the demonstration was the most sue

1t is admitted in Alabama by democrats that
their apparent great victory in the late State cleo
ton was due simply to the non-voting of the ne

Why We Are Republicans.

The reasons why republicans should
continue to support their party are many
and potent. Chief among these. howev-
er. is the appearance of the same men and
party who upheld rebellion in the South,
supported by the democratic party of the
North, moving heaven and earth to unite
the South solid in favor of the election OF
Tilden. The democratic circular printed
in the columns Of this paper explains the
plans and purposes Of this recognized
rebel party. He who reads it with under
Standing will comprehend why republi-
cans are upholding their party as they did
during the time OF the war They will
see that they are confronting the same
men that they met at the cannon's mouth
for four years, actuated by the same prin-
ciples and convictions now AS then, chang
ed only 10 making their fight with ballots
instead Of bullets. In recent speech
George William Curtis presented in a
masterly manner the leading issue between
the two great parties and the reasons why
be Is a republican. He said:
We shall never understand the political situation
Of this country until do absolute justice TO the
men of the South. They were as brave as we
were, and " there be boy in blue in this hall he
will be the first to cry amen TO what l say. The
war wss terrible, was long and bloody, because
We met men as detetermined as ourselves, because
il was . bitter, desperate fight Of Americans with
Americans. They were wrong throughout in
principle they were wrong as i conceive. They
were Usong in their end, don't stand here for
an inssa1tt 70 forget that if our hearts were brave
20 we're theirs; that II our homes are wasted SO
Are The irs; that IL we believed in our cause so
did thsy saJsheirS. But they fought against every
force Of the human heart they fought sgainsl

A Solid South.
A NORTHERN DEMOCRATIC APPEAL TO THE
SOUTHERN "FRIENDs OF THE CAUsE."-
mo LOOSE TALK BEFOREHAND"

The following circular is being distributed very
generally throughout the South among discreet
friends Of the democratic party;
[PRIvATE.]
The successful Presidential candidate must have
1855 votes In the Electoral College. If the Southern
States vote as unit for Mr.. Tilden, he will be
elected hey ond q doubt By Southern States is
meant those States in which slavery existed at the
commencement Of the late civil war. These States
tl6, including West Virginia. have in the aggre-
gate 1873 votes in the electoral college:

be made;' and that sfinanciers agree in
declaring that revival of confidence in
American railroad enterprises, can only
be expected, when a radical change takes
place in the different States" The
Consul at Frankfort, the central bank
ing city of Europe, says, "the Germans
believe they have been deceived and de-
frauded;" they find that sovereign
States deny and disregard their guar
antees;" and, he adds, "the interest
offered by European enterprises is equal
to the usual rates of interest in the
United State. Hereafter, this capital
will find abundant use in its own coun-
try
We're Wisconsin beyond the need of
foreign credit she might, possibly, afford
to repei it. But, with the northern
part of the State unbroken, and her
vast resources lying dormant, it would
seem unwise to bar out the means
necessary to develop them. Without
credit the State cannot advance. Min
nesto quickly reetracted her restrictive
law. Wisconsin should do likewise.
Transportation is a commodity, and is
sold as are other services. If its price
can be fixed by law, SO can that of other
Commodities furnished by associated
capital.
The argument concludes: 1.-THE rates
of fare and freight enforced by law in
Wisconsin are indefensible. They are
proven to be unreasonable. The railways
are compelled to furnish transportation
below cost. In view of which, Edmund
Burke's utterance is pertinent and true
to-day: Men have no right to what is q OF
reasonable"
