MAINE GRANITE IN THE CENTEN

The regular Philadelphia correspondent of the
Portland Press gives the following description of
the granite work exhibited at the Centennial by
the Bodwell Granite Company;
"The great display is made by the Hinsdale,

down from the Maine headquarters. Its official
designation is at o." The first monument is
made of Haowell granite in the form of sar-
c0phagus and is the most elaborate piece of work
in granite on exhibition. The base is surmounted
by a design Of drapely which required two work
men six months to cut. 1t could not be more
graceful in marble. The cutting required two
men q whole year. 1t has been sold for SS000
The second is q pedestal of stone from the same
quarry ornamented with polished cylindrical pill
lars from the Vinalhaven quarry, surmounted by
life-size statue Of Hope cut from granite. The
company have another monument in the form of
an obelisk cut from Vinalhaven granite with poll
ished trimmings. These all show the great pro-
gress which has been made in the finish of granite.

lstcs OF the granite from the various parts of
Maine, the Bodwell Company have cubes about
ID inches on side, from their quarres at Mt.
Desert, Spruce Head, Vins.haven, Jonesboro'. and
the East Boston quarry near Rockland. The Mt.
Desert specimen is Of delicate salmon color,
while that from Jonesboro' is rather more pro-
nounced In the same direction. The exhibition by
this company will do much to bring Maine gran
tie into notice and is one of the most attractive
features IN that portion of the building"

THE FELICIANA EPISODE.
1t i getting tolerably evident that the
"wbiteiine" policy OF the Democracy is to
be followed out with special enthusiasm
during the pending campaign-at least in
some sections of the country. A few
weeks ago the democrats in indianapolis
refreshed themselves after the fatigue of
municipal election by shooting down ne
groes inFthe street; and that only one of
the victims shot persisted from his wounds

tons of the marksmen as to the natural
unsteadiness of aim resulting from too
deep indulgence in the favorite democrat
beverage. The other day State Senator
of Louisiana was MORALLY wounded and
his companion instantly killed by an as
sassin, who posted himself at safe dis
lance, and picked off his victims as calm
ly as if he were cunning for any other
sort of game. And now we have at East
Feliciana, a repetition Of the familiar pleas
antry of the Southern negro hunter.
At the very time when the National Cen
tennial Exhibition is in successful prog
ress in the City of Brotherly Love, and
good-natured people North and South are
congratulating themselves that all bitter
ness of feeling between the sections has
passed away, we have the editying spec

down negroes and kill them in cold blood

something the democrats in the House viii not

is to be interviewed. For moral reform party
the democrats have been peculiarly unfortunate
in their selection of officers in tdat branch of Con-
gross where they have the majority. Taking the
specimens they have offered as a sample, the
country will hardly give them the opportunity to
increase the list. Fnzaugh declares that his or

in the assertion, but it vii! none the more save

his democratic friends remains to be seen, but

more important to vindicate the rights OF

liberty than to cater to the preludices OF
Southern "white-iners" and those who
sympathize with them. Especially is this
true in view of the fact that the riot at
indianapolis, the attempted assassination
Of Senator Twichell, and the Felicana
massacre have followed one another SO
closely as to indicate the adoption OF
settled policy by the extreme democrats
"a policy Of hatred and assassination
and negro-killing. Probably the utter
ances of the ex-Confederates now in Con-
eress and the harangues of rebel memo
rial orators have served to cmbolden the

campaign. The question which the 10y
al people of the country have presented
to them for settlement is whether it is
worth while to entrust the control of the
National Government to the hands OF
men who signalze their first partial sue
cesses by such bloody and brutal meas
ures. If the control OF the lower
House of Congress has infused such
fresh life into the negro haters and
negro hunters of the South. it is
surely not unreasonable to inquire what
would be the result if the whole mach!n-
ery of the Government were in demo-
! and tho had no
place to look for protection.

A FITTING ANS WER.

4 FITTING ANSWER.
The resolution adopted Thursday by the
third district republican convention, and
the terse but comprehensive statement OF
Hon. John l.. Stevens, are a fitting reply
to the contemplate insinuations which
some men and some newspapers-a lew
of them pretending to be republican, too
arc making to impair the confidence
which the republican masses of the nation
have in ex-Speaker Blaine. He has been
charged with improper transactions while
in public Office, but every accusation has
been disproved. Met at every point OF at
tack by most conclusive exculpatory evil
dence, his accusers have asked him 10
prove his innocence; and even this I'M
reasonable demand he has responded to.
And at last his enemies have turned round
and substantially said: "True, you have
fully met every charge you have ex-
planned every ground tor reasonable sus-
picion; you have proved your innocence
but you entered Congress poor and now
you are rich"
A thousand times has this mean ins:nsa-
ton been made and thousand times ans
wered but still men and papers that know
the insinuation is groundless, repeat it.
The republicans of Maine who know and
honor James G. Blaine, and who know
how wickedly false and groundless are
insinuations rejecting upon his political
or personal integrity. have been justly in
dignant at such assaults upon the leader
and statesmen whom they love. But
when paper pretending to be republican
repeats such baseless insinuations to ad-
vance the interests of another candidate,
they cannot refrain from giving expression
to their feelings. Let the answer of the
republicans Of the district which Mr..
Blaine has SO faithfully and ably represen.
ted for fourteen years. 60 from one end OF
the country to the other. as the answer
of his neighbors and fellow citizens who
know his whole life. and who fully under
stand from what honorable sources have
come every dollar of which he is possessed.
