port at Granite Hall, where they will be furnished
with programme, which will include business
meeting at o'clock in the afternoon, and pub
lie meeting in the evening at which an Grafton

rected Us TO SAY to the 18th Maine boys, that by
presenting this circular to the ticket Agents Of
the Maine Central, and the Knox and Lincoln
railroads, they will be furnished with round trip
tickets at one fare" 1t is probable that others
will do the same.
We hope every comrade will make special
effort to attend this meeting, and renew the
memories of lS62.65. You will confer favor on
the committee by notifying comrade =. p. Getch-

From the Bath Times,
"ThrOugh Baird Il Co."

| Chase's Chronicle hiss q letter written by its
nominee for Governor, Rev. ii. {. Munson, and
addressed to Hon. VIM. ID. Kelley, of Phlladel-
phia the leading infis,isnist in the National House
of Representatives. The letter lis nearly col
umn and half in the Chronicle and ali but the
last two lines is ostensbly devoted to "the cause
OF our riots" The following extract will serve as
specimen of the style a clergyman can adopt
when he undertakes to play the politician;
Ten years ago there nation more pros
porous, to-day none more miserable. How s.iit

pres in political economy along with the brainless
scribben who edit the majority OF our papers,
may attribute our calamitles TO over production,
extravsgance, redundancy of currency sun spots
and comets, but the science of finance Is beginning
to be studied, not in the glimmerlng light of nc
ton, tradition and prejudice, but IN the MONDAY
of fact and philosophy"
Asa specimen of pulpit rhetoric, the above will
pass as the clap trap of demagoguc, it is fully
equal to the average; as a contradiction Of mate
rial and incontrovertible facts it is successful
as contradiction ever can be in such cases. As
an exhibition of proPriety and good taste, it
would do credit to the usual style of "Gov." Pills
bury; but that is q matter which chiefly concerns
the men who have nominated him for Governor
and who however few in numbers, are doubtless
very respectable as individuals. If they feel hon
ored by having their candidate characterize the
ablest and most talented men in the republic as
brsinless scribblers,' the rest of the world will
not be likely to go into "spasms" on that account
The term itself, however, is an expressive one,
and the quotation we have already made from the
Rev. candidates letter is not an inapt illustration
of what might be expected from quarter prop
erly described by that term.
As we have said, the letter, all but the last two
lines, is ostensibly devoted TO "the cause of our
riots" The object and occasion of the letter ap-
pears in those two last lines, and in just these
words ;-"Thanking you for your favor through

A PECULIAR SCENE OF THURSDAYS PRECIOUS
UUTBREAK.

A PECULIAR SCENE OF THURSDAYS FRRoCIOUs
OUTBREAK.
From the Chicago Inter- Ocean, July D.
Women first came to the front rampant riot
ers yesterday. The taste of blood which the me n
bad had in the early part of the day seemed to
have infamed the women. The night before last
there were q few, half crazed with liquor and
smarting under their real or fancied wrongs, who
wore bold enough to yell for pillage. Yesterday
there was ripening of this sentiment and the
result was an Amazonian outbreak in the after
noon. In the neighborhood of West Twenty
second and Fisk streets there are a number of
planning mills, sash, door and blind factories and
lumber yards. Just northeast of this are the
homes of many of the most FESTIVE CT the rioters.
These men run down in a few minutes to Halsted
street through alleys, open back yards ETC., and
disappear as suddenly in the event of an attack
from the police. The men were glutted with then
encounters of the forenoon. Now was the wo-
mans opportunity, and they at once began to i'm
prove 1t. Hundreds of these Amazons congre-
gated in the vicinity of Twentieth and sk streets
The nearest factory from that corner was the
Goss 4 Phillips place. The crowd rapidly in =
creased. Women with babies ia arms Joined the
enrsged female rioters. The streets were butter-
ing with calico of all shades and shapes. Hun
dreds were barehesded, the disheveed locks
streaming in the wind. Many were shoeess
Some were young. scarcely women in age, and
not at all IN appearance Dresses were tucked up
round the waists. Open busts were as common
as a BARRIERS char. Brswny, sunburnt arms
brandished clubs. Knotty hands held rocks, sticks
and wooden blocks. Female yells, shrill as
curlew's cry, filed the air. The swarthy features
Of the Bohemian women were more horrible
TO look on in that scene than their in the Hal
sted street riots. The unsexed mob of female IN
cendiaries rushed to the fence and yards of Goss
Phillips Manufacturing Company. The con
sternation which this attack created extended to
Twenty second street, at that hour very quiet. A
crowd of men gathered GU Fisk street to witness
this curious repetition of the scenes Of the Psr-
sian Commune. The fence surrounding the yard

Sham Economy.

1t is not forgotten what a blowing of
trumpets there was all over the country
last winter about the economy of the
democratic House, and how much it had
saved by the reduction of the appropri-
atoms. Readers of democratic papers, if
they credited what they read, must have
supposed the democratic party in the
House had accomplished great things in
the way of economy. Well, how did they
do II?
One step which they took was to refuse
to pass any appropriation whatever for
the army. The United States has but a
small army, but small as it is it must be
paid or it cannot exist. The sum neces-
sary to be appropriated for its support was
S29,O0O.000. The democrats in the House
put their heads together and said they
would not vote dollar for the army. And
this they called economy. IThey cut down
the appropriations just s29 900 900. and
this was trumpeted through tie democrat
ic papers as a great stroke Of economy
The result is that the army has only
been kept together by the extraordinary
efforts of the administration, while we
have had upon our hands the Indian war,
the disturbances on the Texan border,
and the great strike which but for the
army would have been far more disas-
trous than it has been. The army has
saved by its services in REFRESHING riot
alone far more than the appropriation neo-
essary for its support. A company OF
regulars at Pittsburg at the beginning OF
the strike would have prevented all the
destruction of property and lives which
occurred there by the riot. To say moth
ing of the vastly greater probable evils
which the army aided so essentially to pre-
vent, 1t has rescued from the mob immense
amounts Of property. and proved itself so
efhcient an agent in quelling riot that the
governors OF three democratic States have
had to invoke its assistance.
But this is not all. The army exists and

paper of the country:
If any respectable democrat has the least doubt
left in his mind as to the damnsble folly and wick
edness of attempting to make the title to the

time, we advise him to read and ponder the fol
lowing deliversnce of Citizen Conroy, one OF the

not President by the voice of the people, but by
chicanery and fraud. Therefore don't obey his
proclamstions. If he attempts to call $4,000 men
we will all enlist and then let him take care that
he does not have to leave Washington as Louis
Philippe left France in lSiS." If the President
should find it necessary, as he probably will not
find it necessary to call out 10000 men, we trust
