LETTER FROM BOSTON,,

To tie Editor Of The Kennebee Journal.
Now that the Presidential muddle is nearly At
an end, business is beginning to revive, and tie
streets Of Boston present far different appearance
from that which they have worn these last eight
months. Indeed, trade has not been in ssch e
condition for the past two years as tits now. N.r
chants have bought just as little "a they could get
along with, for the past year or two, ard the man-
ufsctorcs have sent out just enough to supply the
trade. ald no more. No wonder there has been
a constant cry of "hard times" No wonder beg
gars have thronged our streets, for thousand. Of
men, women and children have been thrown out
of employment through the failure Of firms, the
inability of men to pay so many hands, the stop
ping Of large factories, and the cutting down Of
the prices paid for labor. All this has made it
mater Of great difficulty for the poor to get along
no one IN comfortable home with plenty to eat,
has aoy idea of the hardshps and privatiops which
the families Of mechanic. and laborers have had
to undergo.
But, think Heaven, things are wearing bright

We have frequently referred to the importance
of providing and keeping in proper condition in
various parts Of city. reservoirs and hydrants
for use in case of fire; and large expenditures
have been made by our city authorii es in building
reservoirs, and the subject of hydrants has been
somewhat discussed. We learn that a difficulty
has been experienced in some cases in filling and
keeping filed reservoirs already constructed, and
at times they have proved utterly inadequate to
the emergency. With our hillsides studded with
living springs of abundant lowage, it would seem
that locations might be selected for reservoirs that
would insure water supply; and from these
fountains in elevated positions, pipes might be laid
to Second or Water streets, with hydrants attach
ed which would be available at any moment TO do
efficient execution. The reservoir Academy
street near the residence of Judge Baker might be
tapped by suitable sized pipe, and an abundant
supply of water brought to Second street, where q
hydrant would answer every purpose for the safe
~ of property IN that vicinity now without ade-
quate protection. We feel justified in urging
adequate preparation for any and all emergencies.
The time may come when fires shall occur under
less favorable circumstances than we have ordi-
narily experienced. Heretofore the elements have
favored us remarkably, and our fires have been
subducd without extensive damage. 1t may not
always be so at any rate It is well to be prepared
for the worst.
At citizens caucus on Friday evening last at
City Hall, for the purpose of nomination candi-
date for Mayor for the ensuing year, the vote was
declared as follows: William Wilson SO, John
W. Clark 70, +. .. Brown and William Wilson
was declared the nominee. On Saturday morning
Mr. Wilson declined accepting the nomination,
and another caucus called for Saturday even
ing.
Al the caucus OH Saturday evening, Mr. John
W. Clark was no minated candidate for mayor Of
this city.
An alarm of fire on Saturday afternoon last was
caused by the ringing Of the Baptist bell Tor re-
ligious meeting. The fremcn were promptly on
hand ready for any emergency.
Northern National Bank building in this city,
has been treated to new coat of paint, and new
signs take the place of old ones, giving a neat ap
pearance TO the premises, and indicating enterprise
and prosperity. The Savings Institution is in the
second story of the same building, and shares in
the distribution of new paint and shining signs.

The secret of Randalrs abandonment
of the filibusters, also the conservative
course Of Fernando Wood and other New
York democrats is explained by our Wash
ington correspondent as follows Ran
dall's somersault from an extreme fillibus-
ter to conservative has surprised many ;
but some very plain and forcible tele-
grams from the business men OF his own
District very readily account for the
change. He was politely but emphatical-
ly informed that if he continued to
act with the revolutiopiss he would
very soon be requested by his con-
stituents to step down and out. And
so Of Wood and most of the New York
delegation. In fact, kilograms OF this ma
ture kept constantly pouring in from all
parts OF the country to those members who
had shown disposition to go with the fill
clustering element and the result is that
they have dropped their company at once
and forever"

Inauguration Day.

The inauguration of Rutherford b.
Hayes as President of the United Stat9f
will take place at Washington to-day
Owing to the brief time for preparation
the demonstrations in honor OF the event
cannot be as large or brilliant as have been
usual upon similar occasions. One oil
our correspondents at the Capital writes
US: 1.-The shortness of time left to prepare
for the Presidents inauguration, has in
terfered seriously with the intended GER
emonies. The parade may not occur at
all or ii there Is one, must nee
essarily be small one. Very
many military civil organizations that had
intended coming in force, have by reason
of the uncertainty. given up the visit.
Others can only come by reason OF their
nearness to Washington, as for instance,
those of Philadelphia, New York, Harris
burg. Baltimore. &c. Even the time hon
ored Inauguration Ball, which was to
have been given in a modified and less
exlravagant form than heretofore, has
been given up, rs there Is no time Tor
preparation, issuance of tickets, or for the
ladies' toilets 1t is now proposed that
after the Inaugural procession OF the day,
the evening shall be devoted to Il grand
torchlight procession and illumination OF
Pennsylvania Avenue, which is mile
long between the Capitol and the Treas
ury. This will probably close the cere-
monies of the day. Extra precautions
are being taken for the protection of the
President-elect against any would-5c as
sassin."
President Hayes will lie the nineteenth
President of the United States. Eighty
eight years-twenty-two full terms of the
Presidential oflice-have expired since the
first President of this country was installed
in office. The new President comes to
his Office through sharper and more
prolonged contest than any of his prede-
cessors, but his hands are unstained by
any attempt on his own part TO influence
the decision Of the question as between
the claim of himself and his competitor,
Mr.. Tilden, and his title to his Office rests
upon the acts and decisions Of a tribunal
established by the democratic party.
When the passion of the democrats have
cooled, they will see how supremacy alb
surd are their silly EXPLANATIONS about
President Hayes having stolen his Office,
not being legally entitled to it, etc. They.
of all men, are the last to dispute his IT,
tie. 1t will avail them nothing to keep
up their lunatic imprecations and denuci-
atoms. When the electoral count was fin
ished in the presence of Congress-
there was an end OF the fight for pos
session of the Presidency. We apprehend
the Inauguration ceremonies will be de-
Gently performed to-day, without the APP
pearance of any assassin to prevent them
or any disorder to interrupt or mar them
and the whole people Of this country will
sustain President Hayes as the rightful
chief executive of the United States.

grams have been sent from the Office
of the Western Union Telegraph
Company in this city to the New York
office. Included in this freight are all
the messages sent from this city TO the
Southern States having reference to
the recent politica; campaign. They
are TO be destroyed at once. II qnes-
toned by any Congressional Commit
Tee as to why this course was deter.
mined upon, the officers of the Com
pany will hold that under the Consti-
tuition no citizen is to be deprived Of
his liberty or property without due
process of law. The kilograms are to
be made way with in advance OF any
process Of law reaching the Company
to the end that subsequently, there
may be no occasion for violating it.
If there is nothing wrong in those
dispatches if they will not serve to
expose mass of rottonness and corr

Senat or Sherman is one of the lead
ing Radicals who are asserting the le-
gal right of the President of the SEN
ate to count the Electoral votes. A
very marked change has come over
his views upon the subject since 1865,
when,s ON the question Of the repre-
sentation of several Southern States
in the Electoral College, he said:
"Suppose, IN the joint convention
the vice president shall take up piece
of paper in his hand. a thing that will
inevitably occur, and says: 81 have
here what purports TO be the certifi-
cate of the State of Louisiana; sup
pose he should say the Stale of Louis
lana is in rebellion against the Gov
ernment that by the proclamation of
the President it is declared TO be in q
state of insurrection, and that that
condition of affairs had been recog-
nized by both houses of Congress -
therefore, viii not allow the vote of
Louisiana to be counted in the elect
oral vote Suppose he should SO de-
eide. Any member from the
House of Representatives or Senate,
who is Of the opinion that the vote of
Louisiana ought to be counted, will at
once enter his protest, and say that
Louisiana has a right to vote. How
shal that question be decided? Shall
the vice president decide it, and shall
his decision be final. SAY NOT"

They declare determination to abide
by the laws of the lana and to demand
obedience thereto on tbe part of others

not right, aud 10 submit to nothing
that is wrong. Able speeches were
made by General Durbin Ward the
permanent President of the Conven-
ton {; Gen. Ewing, Gen. e. W., Nor
gan, Hon. George ii. Psndleton and
others, all showing determination on
the part of these great leaders not to
submit to the threatened usurpations

Two days before the Louisiana Re-

Two days OetOre the LOutslan6 ht-

work, the Chicago Tribune expressed
its views in the following language: :
"The Republican party cannot SUR
vive the election of Republican pres,
ident, should the American people, in
the light of all the facts, come
to the conclusion that such an
election was dishonesty secured !;
that it was a matter Of arithmetic-a
fOrcible reduction of the vote on one
side to whatever number may be re-
quired 10 let the other side have the
electoral delegation. We do not con-
template any such action by the Lou
isiana returning board, and will there
fore refrain from referring to the dis.
asters TO the party that would follow
i'm its train"
just such rascally work was done
by the Returning BOARD, and yet the
Tribune quietly acquiesces in the in
famous result, and asks the people of
the whole country to submit to be
robbed of the right Of choosing their
rulers.

occurred in a New Jersey town few

they would expose q villainous con-

whom they were addressed in the

the impntation of riscality implied in
the demand for them2 Under the
circumstances, there is but one an
