BEDFORD, Me, August I0.-E. II. Gore,
the Greenback candidate for congress from
this district, presided over the meeting at the
city hall last night of the citizens of York
county, and In short speech introduced
General Butler, who spoke for two hours. He
SAID he came, not to make a speech, but to
commune with the people on the public in
terests of the day. He had left old parties,
and belonged to the Democratic party until it
attempted to destroy the Union; was with
the Republican purity till it deserted its
founders, the laboring men. The capitalists
now hold the Republican party bound hand
and foot. Hayes violated every pledge, and
betrayed the negroes of the south. The eff
fort of Grants administration to strengthen
the public credit was swindle. He reviewed
the history of the greenback currency, and
claimed that It should be made legal tender
for all debts. both public and private.

arrived at the executive chamber with re-
QUESTION for Hiram III Kimpton. A tele-
gram from Governor Rice, at Saratoga, di-
Iects full hearing. The indictment upon
which the requisition is based charges John

Kimpton with conspiracy to bride the South
Carolina legislature. Each side is well repre-
sented By counsel, and they say the matter
will be fought at every point; that the case is
purely political; that the present State gov
eminent is DESTROYS of repudiating certain
bonds issued in 1872 and which have already
been scaled down fifty per cent; that KImp
ton is desired as a witness to the alleged ir-
Irregularities in their issue, in order that the
State may repudiate the balance, and that he
has refused to compromise the matter IN &C.
eordance with the negotiations the State au
thorihes have been making the past two
months.
