The Atlantic House.

With the advent of hotlweather comes again
realizing sense that close at hand the citizens
of Portland have the lovelest of beaches and
most comfortable summer retreats in the wide
land and among them all none is cosier or
more pleasantly situated than the old house on
Scarboro' beach. 1t has not only been contin-
ually growing in public esteem, but this season
has grown in size, having been enlarged by an
addition of forty-four by fifty feet in size. A
new parlor has been added, commencing where
the old office was, seventy feet long, finished in
black walnut and ash, and furnished with light
summer furniture, which gives it cool and
airy appearance. The new office faces to the
west. Thirty feet has been added to the dining
room, making it sixty feet long, and giving
room to seat one hundred and twenty guests.
Thirty-two new sleeping rooms have also been
added; large and thoroughly ventilated cham
bers, with charming views of the sea,
"The sea, the sea, the hopen sea-
as James Yellowplush eloquently puts
it. These rooms are particularly to be
commended for their comfortable fur
nishing; and any man who cannot sleep
soundly in those beds can have no music in his
SOUL The halls are broad, airy and high-post-
ed. The piazza is extended, giving a fine prom
enade of two hundred and fifty feet in length.
The rooms are arranged in suites for families,
and number seventy in all. The work has been
done by Portland workmen, o. G. Robinson be-
ing the contractor. The painting was by KEEL
sey, and the plastering by Levecque.
This locality has always been favorite resort
for our citizens. A little this side Of it is the
site of the old tavern where Gen. Jedediah
Preble with his company of jewellers, was
showed in for many days, SO graph ically de-
scribed by Parson Smith about hundred years
ago. A few rods to the westward stood the old
fort, built by the first settlers to defend them
selves against the Indians who haunted the
swamps through which our pleasant drives now
pass. In the distance is seen Old Orchard,
Wood Island and Prouts Neck, and in front
the broad ocean, with Richmond's Island, of
historic fame, to the left. The bathing is very
excellent having white sand surf beach with
very little undertow, so that ladies and children
can battle without danger, and the water is
warmer than in the harbor channels.

ODD FELLOWS PICNIC.-M. G. Palmer, Esq,
President of the Old Orchard Beach Associa-
tion, has very kindly invited the Odd Fellows
of this city TO hold their annual picnic on their
grounds at Old Orchard on the 4th of July.
These grounds comprise two hundred and forty
acres of beach, meadow, forest and uplands,
and will furnish such facilities for bathing,
lounging, rambling, balling, &C., as can hardly
be found com bined in any other place. The
forests of pines and oaks are magnificent and
are traversed by roads and paths in every direc-
ton, and if the members of the Order do not
have grand time it will not be for want of a
good place to visit.

DROWNING AocIDENT.-There is rather
strange case of casualty and crime at st Johns
buiy. Last Sunday four boys were capszed
while sailing in boat. They were all good
swimmers, but being intoxicated, .only one of
them was able to reach the shore, the others
being drowned. The boy who was saved told
where they had purchased the liquor, and the
whole village became ind ign ant and demanded
that the rumseller be punished A warrant
was issued and the man arrested and taken in
to court, but before the case was called he gave
the officers the slip and escaped. Diligent search
has been made, but as yet without success.

THE ARIoNs' EXCURsIoN.-By invitation of
ex-Commodore A. NJ Smith, the Arion Club
was taken down the harbor yesterday on the
yacht Ray. The party was very pleasant Que
and delightful day was enjoyed. They left
here at ten o'clock and ran down to JEWELS
Island, where they had lunch and spent
few hours in roaming over the island. At one
o'clock they set sail for Little Chebeague where
jerks served fine dinner at 3 O'Clock. The
remainder of the afternoon was spent in So
cial manner. They returned in the evening al
fen o'clock.

STATE OF LOUISIANA, J
Executive Department. }
Whereas, have been officially informed that
on the 23d day of November, 1876, Percy Smith
was willfully and feloniously murdered in the
parish of West Feliciana, and that J. W. DIXON.
ate of said parish. is accused OF having COM
mitted said crime; and whereas said j. W..
Dixon has fed from the justice of this State.
and it being important and highly necessary
that the perpetrator of such crime be brought
to justice and dealt with as the law directs.
Now, therefore. I. FRANCIS 7. NICHOLAS,
Governor Of the State Of Louisiana, have
thought proper to issue this my proclamation.
calling upon the good people of this State to

stands charged. And by virtue OF the powers
vested in me by law do hereby offer reward
of FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS for the arrest
and safe delivery of said J. W. Dixon in any
Jail or prison of this State, and upon his con-
yiction of the crime of which he is accused.

these presents and caused the seal ofthe State

That interchangeable reformer, DR.. Te-
bault, of the Taxpayers Union, is not
satisfied with exposing the enormous
indebtedness Of our city, and ringing it
into our ears even in these solstitial
times, that we are going to the bad un-
der our present administration much
faster than we have any idea Of, but has
discovered and exposed still greater
horror and affection Of our unfortunate
community in the existence among us Of
five thousand vidangeurs thrown out Of
employment by the monopoly Of the
odorless machines, which the Board Of
Health has required to be employed in
the sanitary excavation business.
It is true that another eminent ply
stefan, DR.. Jones, dissents from DR.. Te-
bault's estimate OF the corps Of vidan-
geurs, and places it at the moderate
figure of 200. But as between two doc
tors on sanitary question, what COM
mon layman dare have an opinion?
Some persons are presumptuous enough
to hesitate in the acceptance of DIR.
Tebault's financial statement Of the
city debt, especially in view Of the dis
covery announced to us by the Doctor
himself, Of small error Of over half
million in his statement against the
city. But when the Doctor ventures
into sanitary statistics, and gives au
chemically the number of our vidan.
geurs, and when another doctor dis
counts his estimate some 1900. we fee
bound to stand aside and let combat.

exhaustible pine forests OF our sea-
coast. The only supply now for this
numerous fleet Is furnished from the
lands held by private persons, which
constitutes an inconsiderable portion of
the natural forest. The remainder is
all held by the government for home
steads for the negroes, who respond in
loud outlaws at the bare idea Of living
on such lands, and If they don't guffaw
they curse and swear at the folly Of the
government which deprives them Of
the right Of subsisting from the pro-
ducts Of the labor Of cutting the lum-
Der from these sealed forests.
Had these lands been put in market
and sold at any time during the last
twenty years they would have been
bought up and passed into private use
and opened to labor and industry, thus
supplying source Of support and en-
ployment for large and meritorious
class of people. Now, whilst we can
not embrace, to the extent claimed by
the Fourierites, the doctrine Of the duty
of the government to furnish employ
ment for the idle labor Of the country,
we cannot but recognize the oppressive
folly and injustice of such an admins
tration as includes and deprives large
class OF the people of the means OF prose-
cutting their industry. And, decided as
we are, against all violations of and re-
sistance to laws, bad and wrongful
though they may be, our experience
and all our impulses Of philanthropy
and humanity, do not permit us to re-
gard with much favor or sympathy the
vexatious proceedings set on foot by the
government authorities in this State
against the people who resist or disre-
gard this unwise, unjust and anti
social war against labor, through the
the sealing up large and valuable ma
terial Of commerce and industry.

But, to make an honest and binding
debt, It must be legally incurred, in
strict conformity to the law authorizing
the contract and the power of attorney
of the party creating the obligation.
Everybody is presumed to know the
law. Every man who lends money or
sells anything to another must know
the authority of the party with whom
he deals. States and corporations have
neither a legal NOR moral obligation for
debts incurred by their agents beyond
and without authority Of law and Of
their principals.

The newspaper that has not it's own,
exclusive "only solution" for the labor
troubles is very contemplate affair.
The Pic. has hers, Of course, so she
puts on her paper cocked-hat, assumes
a magisterial air, and takes society by
the shoulder and admonishes it, as the
beadle did "Poore Joe." "Move on,
sir! move on! Don't you never no more
let me catch you standin' around"
Emigration is what this country
wants-it is the only sovereign remedy
for cases like this. Look at countries
that have plenty Of emigration. like Ire
land, for instance, and you find labor
happy and contented and prosperous.
If population goes on increasing, and
inventors inventing, and capitalists dis
charging labor, they must all emigrate.
The last one Of them must "go some
veres." And the surplus labor; why
that must abandon the cities and high
ways Of travel for the country" during
the heated term, we suppose, while the
other fellows emigrate. By fall things
will have cooled down and they may
come back, but the sylvan retreat, the
shaded by-way, the cool sequestered
country path. are the places and
routes which the laborer must
seek in these piping solstitial days.
After the first white frost they may
venture to return; the dusty streets and
highways will be sprinkled by the au-
tumn showers and the crowded thor
oughfares will have realized that ideal
October which the poet describes as
lonesome. In the meanwhile their
oppressors will have vanished, sloped,
like the thief in the night. There will
be no capitalists there to discharge
them, population will have stopped in
creasing and the Patent Office will have
nailed above its closed doors clap
board, upon which shall be traced in
charcoal the one word Of cheer, "EMI-
GRATED" Then, where shall be found
the wretch so hardened as to lay his
hand upon his stomach and say, "And
yet am not happy?"

Antelope, New York correspondent of
the Picayune, referring to an improve
ment in South Carolina consols says
that it Is due to the information con-
veyed to capitalists that very few Of the
bonds which were before the Funding
Board of that State will be thrown out.
Antelope then adds that "the peculiar
action of all the Southern States whose
bonds are not in favor is hurting the
credit of those States every day."
This is all right and proper, but it
suggests the duty and policy Of these
capitalists discriminating between the
defaulting States and those which have
made honest and full provision for, and
have promptly met, their interests and
guaranteed future payments Of their
bonds.
The Southern States" ought not to
be Jumped together, as having any in
solido liability on their several debts,
or being responsible for each others
shortcomings, and affected by the de-
linquency Of any particular one.
These States are independent and en-
tirely separate in their responsibilities
in regard to their debts.
When the New York capitalist finds
good reason for advancing the consols
OF South Carolina because they are in.
formed that very few Of the bonds
coming before their Funding Board fol
consolidation would be thrown out, il
should suggest the more reliable infor
nation on which to advance the
Louisiana consols which have al
ready been passed on, and which
are limited in the number to bt
issued, which are made constitu
tional contracts. can never be assailee
or questioned, the interest of which il
promptly paid and guaranteed for thu
future more strongly than any bonds
ever issued in this country. There is NJ
possibility Of going back on or ''throw
ing out" such bonds. Their issue az
consolidated bonds settles forever al
questions as TO their validity,

The United States government must
bear the chief responsibility for all this
trouble about log cutting and rolling in
this State. The cruel disturbance Of
industry, the interruption Of valuable
commerce and the great oppression and
vexation Of legal proceedings instituted
by the government and enforced by a
Judge who holds his court at Hartford,
Connecticut-of legal proceedings
wherein the defendants have to join
issue with and incur heavy costs and
make deposits and give bonds against
prosecutor who has nothing to pay,
who commands and controls the judi
cial officials, reveal a case Of practical
hardship and wrong doing, which could
not be patiently borne by the people
living under an absolute monarchy.
The necessity Of such hard and oppres-
sive proceedings cannot be palliated by
any pretext of willful and criminal per-
versity on the part Of these victims Of
this cruelty. It has come to the govern
ment by virtue Of its own unwisdom,
improvidence and bad administration.
The enormous extent Of timber lands
held by the government in this State
have been sealed and kept out OF mar
ket and use for twenty years by virtue
of foolish law enacted during our civil
war. These lands which are worthless
| without the timber, and will never un.
der any cultivation yield a subsistence
to the cultivator, were set aside exclu.
sively for homestead entry. This was
dene in view of securing homes and
lands for the emancipated slaves. Al
the time of it's passage intimations were
thrown out that mule would be addec
to the gift of forty acres Of these lands
But the mule never came and the pool
negro declined the gift of forty acres o
wretched SANDY piny woods land
without the privilege OF cutting thu
timber therefrom. This privilege would
enure to them after i've years
of cultivation of his forty acres
During that time he must live OF
pumpkins, gourds and grasshoppers,
and the negro is too far advanced II
civilization to be content long witt
such diet. So there were no acceptor'
of this benefcent donation, and thi;
vast area of heavily timbered countr.
was withdrawn from market. Thus
great industry was destroyed, and
commerce paralyzed, Of the extent Q

There is always great outcry of re-
pudiation by dealers in securities,
money lenders and others, when judi
cial decision is rendered declaring the
invalidity of debts incurred for States
and corporations, by agents exceeding
their authority and acting fraudulently
This is absurd, and among an intelli-
gent, law-abiding people, reprehen-
sible. Reputation means the de-
NAL Of an honest debt or claim.
There can be no such repudia.

Stanley Mathews, the Warwick OF
President Hayes, and chief exponent
and champion Of his policy. made a
speech to the Republican Convention in
Ohio, whereby he sought to conciliate
the Bloody Shirts by rather unneces-
sary abuse of the Democracy.
This was rather cheap mode Of
allaying the manifest bitterness
and discomfort OF the Wadeites
and Blaineites. and as the stout English
blacksmith said of his wIfe's daily
amusement Of belaboring him with a
broom-stick- pleases her and don't

be much affected by such mauling as
the redoubtable Buckeye Senator may
think he was inficting for the diversion
of the far more unhappy and uncomfor-
table anti Hayesites, who, by frequent
Interruptions, taunts and insinuations,
manifested anything but very frater-
nal and affectionate regard for the
Presidents organ and champion.
Nor was he more successful in his at
