THE first faint sweet breath of Autumn Is
stirring the tree-tops. The foliage is taking
on a rusty tinge. The fields are browning
fast The full corn is ripening in the ear.
Summer flowers have had their day, and the
golden rod and aster, heralds of the fall, clus.
ter thickly by the roadsides. The skies are
lower and grayer. What song of birds or
chirp of crickets there be has melancholy
sound. The wind that rustles through the
leaves is singing the swan-song of the season.
Before long the foliage will put on the dol
phin hues Of death. Then but little while
and the leaves will seek their graves in the
ever-welcoming earth, always yearning to
shelter its children in its bosom. There
must be something peculiarly worthy in this
Summer to entitle it to its rest so soon. 1t
seems but days ago, and few at that, when
we felt the eager, querulous air of Spring,
shared with all things about us the impatient
expectation Of the season. Now the fall
feeling, half yearniug, half regret, Possesses
US. We even fancy we smell the faint odo,
of dead Autumn leaves-is it only fancy. or
that fine imagination which is prophecy
The stay of the Summer seems briefer thar
ever before. Has it been so? Or does eact
year hasten its fight, warning us, none Zoe
gently, OF the fas.s-nearing day when we toe
shall seek TIE bosom of the kindly earth
worn out with our toll or our play. and
thankful for rest?

HOW TO GET GOOD TIMES.

a Pennsylvania paper sets up the following
guideboard as saoacing the aoay to good times:
Curse the capitalists; frighten them all you can.
DO not let them go into business. If they shoy
any opposition to do so, call a meeting; get up
set of rules and regulations for managing the
business so as to break them up as soon as posi-
ble and threaten those aoho aoiz not go IN under
the rules, aratd they gather up their money and
ledve the country, as they haze already begun to
do. Nothing helps times so much as to let men
kno'o that If they get more By aoorking hard than
yoa do By idleness, yoU aoiH compel them to d.
0ide They aoiH aoork all the harder for such en-
coorogement. Go right ahead aoiA your COM

sOLON CHASE ON SPECIE PAY
NIENTS.

with this sum specie payments can be
resumed at cnce, and the promise that is
written ON the face of the greenbnclx to pay
the dollar, made good. This would give
Bill a good dollar for his work, and the
wounded veteran good money for his pen-
sion, which is only justice and fair play to
Bill and the veteran; that is, Bill not only
would work for gold wages as he
does now, but would buy his goods
at gold prices, and thereby save
another large item of the $25434 that
is pr ressed out of him annually
SPECIE PAYMENTS IS THE ONE
THING NEEDFUL IN OUR PRESENT
CONDITION., AND WILL CURE Us OF
MANY FINANCIAL ILLS. The m oment
you have got specie payments, Pendleton,s
and Buffers theory of paying the bonds In
greenbacks, which means neither more or
less than more and meaner money, be-
comes obsolete. If Congress i'm It's blum
derings did not agree to pay the principal
OF the bonds i'm gold, il ought to have
agreed to, and specie payments will make
the agreement what il ought to be. The wit
ofman cannot devise any scheme that will
bring nbsut specie payments other than re-
deeming sreenbacks with gold; that il, let
somebody else have some good money be-

STATE QUARTERLY CONVENTION
OF THE
REFORM CLUBS OF MAINE,

The quarterly Convention Of the Reform Clubs of
Maine will be held at
Bangor, Wednesday and Thursday, Sept.
4th and 9th.
The several Conventions holden under the auspices
of the Reform Clubs Of this State have been exceed
ngly beneficial in their results, and we trust that
this one, which is soon to convene in the Queen city
of the East, may not only awaken new interest in
the temperance work in the old county of Penobscot,
but may be instrumental in forwarding the grand
mission of reclaiming men throughout the length
and breadth Of the Pine Tree State. With this OBJ
ject in view, we trust the various Reform Clubs In
this State will send full delegations to the Conven-
tion and thus aid in "rescuing the perishing' and
elevating humanity.
The following arrangements have been made with
the railroads and steamboats, for the round trip
One and one-ffth fare on Maine Central and its
branches. One fare on Grand Trunk and branches
to Danville aud Yarmouth functions. One fare on
Portland & Ogdensburg, Portland g Rochester R. R,
and Bangor and Machias Steamboats,.
Delegates M. c. and G. I. R. R. will enquire for
reture tickets. The Secretary will furnish return
checks on the P. &. o. and P. & R. R.R.
Per order State Committee.

Mr.. Bayard (see Argus of friday COM

currency should be enlarged, so as to absorb
the national bank currency, and in reply said
that as the national bank capital is taxable.

so produce more untaxed wealth,

Gen. Anderson In RebuttaI,

In speech delivered at Kennebunkport the
other evening Gen. Anderson denounced the
editorial article which appeared in the PRESS
of Tuesday, Aug. 27 under the caption San
derson in the war" as ''filled with falsehood
and Misrepresentation of myself" If there
was any Misrepresentation it was self-misrep-
resentation, fer the article in question was
based upon and largely made up from Gen.
Anderson's published utterances. The PRESS
has, he said in his Kennebunkport speech,
"grossly misrepresented me and made false
statements concerning your candidate" But
he was careful to make. save in one instance
mentioned further on, no specific denial of the
charges brought against him. Will he point
out the falsehood and Misrepresentation? 4?
He further accused us of "trying to change
the discussion to issues of the time of the
war;" We can readily understand Gen.
Anderson's dislike to have his war-hlstory
repeated and commented upon. He seems
heartily ashamed of it now. But we did not
look forso weak and commonplace defense
as that contained in his general denial. He
would have been wiser to keep silent,
The words of his we quoted are matter of
record. He cannot we'll deny them. Indeed
on that point this is what he says: ST am
unable to state whether the quotations of my
speeches are true since have no record of
anything have ever said. The quotations
may be true."
AS the quotations are the very gist of the
article of which he complains his denial is
wonderfully narrowed down. The report of
his speech in 1862 is rer5atim copy of re-
ports approvingly published in two Democrat
ic papers, the Boston Courier and the Maine
Democrat. The reply to Paris and Morrow
in the Democratic Convention of 1868 was
taken by shorthand reporter as it fell from
Gen. Anderson's lips. If he does not deny
these reports he must then take exception to
our inferences. Very well. The record is
before the people. They can Judge for them
selves. We have shown how utterances like
his were regarded by the South at that time.
How they were received by the loyal North
is matter of common knowledge.

House Conference of 1861 by the Hon. A. G.
Jewett. OF that he says: "The PRESS goes
on to the Preble House Conference and
quotes Mr.. Jewett, a high-fying gentleman
from the Eastern part of the State. I re-
member the Preble House meeting. I went
In and found Mr.. Jewett making a spread
eagle speech denouncing Mr.. Mcdonald. I
do not remember what he said but that Mr..
Mcdonald treated him with silent contempt.
Mr. Jewettis quoted as saying: Gen. Anderson
took bold and unequivocal ground in favor of
the right OF secession, argued that any State
had a right to secede, and that there was no
constitutional right in the Government to
oppose such secession by force denounce
that as an utter falsehood."
Well, that is Mr. Jewett's affair. He can
answer for himself. He knows if he told
"an utter falsehood," as Gen. Anderson

accuses him of doing. He knows II the
speech which Gen. Anderson stigmatizes as
"spread-eagle" was a speech In defense of the
Union-apparently Gen. Anderson considers
all appeals to the patriotic sentiment OF the
country as "spread-eagle." Mr.. Jewett can
tell us for what he was denouncing Mr.. Nc
Donald, and what sentiment Mr.. Mcdonald
treated with silent contempt"
This is the only specific denial Gen. An
derson makes. That raises question of
veracity between him and Mr.. Jewett. The
rest, the quotations from his public utterances,
he confesses his inability to deny. Indeed,
after letting them pass unquestioned all these
years he cannot well interpose denial now.
We can but sympathize with him in bis de-
sire to forget them, in the shame and disgust
with which he now contemplates that unfor-
tunate war record.

The argus does not pursue its attempt to
prove that all Republicans should accept the
greenback as constitutional money because
the Republican justices on the Supreme
Bench decided the legal.tender acts to be
constitutional. Perhaps it sees that this sort

Democrats should refuse to accept the green

of meeting and took convenient seat.
President Mumford presided and the usual
business routine was gone through with, in
Guiding voting In new members. The ques-
ton of finance engro9sed considerable atten-
ton, but was finally settled by the adoption
of monthly dues Of 20 cents per member.
The meeting was then addressed at some
length by President Mumford upon the SUBJ
ject of Protection to American industries -
The speaker reviewed the tariff question at
length. and charged the present state of suf-
fering among the laboring classes in Penn
sylvanla as direct outgrowth of a protective
tariff. He stated that at Minneapolis there
were at present 800 men who would gladly
work at eighty cents per day. He digressed
somewhat from his legitimate theme
to generous censure of the press
of the. country and of St. Paul
in particular, whom. he said suppressed top
les that ought to be known and discussed by
the workingmen. He upbraided the GLOBE
and Pioneer Press for their false prophesies
of the evils sure to follow upon the passage
of the silver bill, all of which was especially
interesting to the GLOBE man, who remem-
bered how that paper fought for the bill.
The society then adopted the following ques-
ton for discussion on next Monday evening,
viz: ''Resolued, That the system of per-
forming the city work by contract is injuri-
GUS to the workingmen's interests and af-
ter requesting general participation in the
discussion by all members the society ad-
iOurned.
