HARD MONEY.
An ExulauatiOu.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Tn an article Of your paper
there appeared some severe criticisms upon the
conduct Of the master and officers of the ship
Screamer during her last voyage from Havre.
AS landsmen are very apt to err when they at
tempt to write upon nautical affairs am per-
sonally content to overlook the msrepresenta-
tons made in your paper, but owe it to my
officers to publish an explanation, so that the
blame that these worthy young men are IN
justly bearing in the public mind, may be
placed where its belongs. In this case lay
the blame upon our consul at Havre, who L
believe allies himself with a notorious set of
sharks at that port in procuring crews for
American vessels. When got my ship out
side the pier.head, l found that not half m y
signed the articles at all, while others had been
shipped under false names; but was then at
sea aud obliged to pursue the voyage as best
could. We had a long and stormy passage l
gave orders that the men should be treated in
the usual way, and had a care for their health
and comfort. In fact it would be suicidal in
any shipmaster to abuse and disable his crew,
as the safety of all depends upon them. But
there were several occasions during the voyage
when owing to their incapacty we were obliged
to resort to extreme measures in order to save
the ship. What would you prefer Mr.. Editor, il
you were at sea in storm In a ship on her
beam ends? Would you prefer to go to the
bottom because an incapable crew were afraid
to pump, or would you prefer to have the Off
GERS drive them to their duty? 1 think you
would find your philanthropy would rot avail
you much at such time, and you would de-
| eide with me that the ship must be saved.
The responsibility of the captain Of ship is
| very great when at sea, and the law gives him
| coIre spending authority. think there are
! very few American shipmasters who abuse it.
| But how is it with the parties whom he has to
| deal with on shore? mean the shipping mas
tiers and conslls. They have no responsibility
at all. They send a crew without knowing OF
caring whether they are good or bad, aud their
| fees must be forthcoming forthwith. When
these are paid and the landlords have pocketed
the advance wages, the matter is settled so fal
as they are concerned while the unfortunate
captain has to fight for dear life during whole
voyage. Many of our shipping officers. espec
tally abroad. are in the hands of the worst de
scriptlon of sharks. 1t is about time there was
| reform in the system Of appointing consuls al
seaports who are entirely ignorant of maritime
matters and who instead of aiding the ship
master with valuable advice are quite iucapa
BILE OF doing so, aud in many instances conspirt
to rob him.

The NEW FOUR PER CENT. LOAN in its
great success marks another important era in
the financial history of our government Its
popularity does not arise alone from its abso.
lutte security, its frequent interest or its easy
conve rtibility; it is emphaticslly loan of the
people to the people, and its smaller denomina-
tions allow the masses to participate in its ben
efts as well as the capitalists, at the same time
insulting them against the loss of their hard
earnings which has occurred SO frequently of
late years. To the Maverick National Bank of
Boston, Government Depository and Fiscal
Agent, (and the first bank to place the ban
before New EnglandD is due much of the re-
markable success of the Four Per Cents in the
East, and this bank is doing an immense bust
ness ID furnishing the bonds to banks and
bankers as well as the people throughout New
England. They offer the purchasers the same
facilities as the government, with much saving
of time in delivery of the bonds

Good News from the Fifth District.

CALAIS, Aug. 49,
Mr.. EDToR:-My business has caused me
during the last two weeks to be on the road in
this county and in Hancock county, and have
found the people nearly unanimous for honest
money. The exceptions are sore-head Repub-
lican or played-out Democratic politicians.
1t is plain that Greenbackism is not flonrishing
in either of these scounties, and it is also az
plain that the Democrat who has property Or is
willing to pay his debts abhors the doctrines of
Leo Miller aud to-day is quite as loud in his
condemnation of such teachings as any hard
money Republican.
The political questions of the day have been
fairly presented on the side of honest money
by the Hon. Eugene Hale. who common, ed
Tuesday last at the county convention, and has
spoken to his constituents, made up of all par
ties, at DenDysville, Pembroke, Lubec and
Calais. Mr.. Hale, from his long service in
Congress and his prominent position on the
appropriation committees, was the man who
could explain the whole wickedness of the
agitation of the past five years, and be could
also make the defence of his party in Congress
quite as ably as any one. He showed that the
legislation of the Republican patty was for the
whole people, quite as much for the laboring
man as for the rich man. He showed how
closely identified the interests of the employer
and the employed were, and he certainly had
the sympathy of his Calais audience, judging
from the attention they gave to hiS every word,
and the applause at his many well turned
points.
At no time has Mr.. Hale stood SO high in
the estimation of his constituents. They may
we'll be proud of him. He is one of the lead
ing men in this Congress, cool always, never
loses his head, good parliamentarian and
ever at his post. He is sharp on his opponents,
and his thrusts are alwayslkeen and effective.
His vote this year will be as large as he ever
had, in spite of the Greenbackism in Waldo
county 1t wouldn't surprise me if he gained
more votes from hard money Democrats than
he loses by Greenbackism The Greenback
Club in this town is losing Republican MEM
bers every day; it is as loudly denounced now
| by people who two months ago were members
of it as by the staunchest hard money Repub-
lican. 1t is every day becoming more clearly
demonstrated that the Greenback movement is
| simply side show Of the Democratic party, and
Republicans have no desire to play second fiddle
| to such people. The Fifth District will endorse
| Mr.. Hale by rousing vote, and he will not
| dishonor them.
HARD MONEY.

1t seems that the daylight which the PRESS
let in upon the promising truck and dicker ar
rangement agreed upon by the assemblage of
Greenback and Democratic leaders at the Fall
mouth Hotel on Monday night had the effect to
break up the nice little scheme by which Mr..
Stuart was to withdraw from the Democratic
ticket and Mr.. Turner from the Greenback
ticket, so that all the soft money men could
SPOOL issues on Cushman and Littlefeld.
Yesterday meeting of the Democratic county
committee was held at the Preble House to
carry out the plan. When they got together,
after reading the explanation o. their little
game in the mornings PRESS, they looked at
each ether rather blankly and somehow the
things didn't seem as captivating as was ex =.
pected The two youthful politicians from the
city with the natural impetuosty belonging
their tender years and inexperience were hot
for going ahead, but the older and more level
headed members from the country realized the
solemnity of trying to carry out plot which
had been discovered and publicly exposed and
consequently would have none of it. The can
didates who were to be pushed off the ticket,
too, did not develop that alacrity in getting out
of the way which might be expected of patriots
having only the good of the 'party' at
heart. So after protracted and melancholy
conference, in which many of the faithful par
ticipated, the committee voted that the ticket
should stand as fixed by the convention, the
Portland members only having the sublime
nerve to vote iu favor of carrying out the Fal-
mouth House intrigue. There are rumors OF
| fresh attempts at trade, but the thing IS evil
IDENTIFY cold and lieless. A detected conspiracy
| is a bursted bubble; the roundness of outline
and pris .natic beauty are gone-nothing re.

The following explains itself:
To the Editor ofthe Boston Globe:
The following card appeared in an evening
paper:
All efforts on the part of the crew of which was
member and myself having failed to get on any
series of races with Messrs Faulkner and Reagan,
now submit the following the last and final prop
osition: will row Messrs Faulkner and Reagan
two sculIers' races three miles under the national
second with Mr.. Reagan-$500 aside each race
Course to be mutually agreed upon. herewith
place in your hands $780, $3.50 forfeit for each race
and it this amount is covered by the oath, will meet
these gentlemen To arrange preminaries. / am,
truly yours, M +. DAVIS.
Portland, August 10, 1878.
In reply to the above final crack" l desire
to inform Mr. Davis that I gave him more
credit for manliness than the above card would
seem to indicate him to possess. AS is we'll
known he defeated me, with ease as be claims,
| and spares no pains to make known the fact
that he can do it again quite as easy, ii not
| easier. As for the offer to row Mr.. Reagan,
the latter would only be too glad to engage 10 a
contest with Mr.. Davis for $500 to $1,000 a side,
the race to come off over the Charles River
course on Wednesday, August %, 1873. Fur
Their, to show that myself and partner are not
disposed to ''quit," we will allow Mr.. Davis to
select any other oarsman in the world for a
partner, ard Mr.. Reagan and myself will row
| them palr-0ared race. Should Mr.. Davis &C.
cept the above propositions L will bind myself
| to row him sDgle-scull race Notwithstanding
his Wanted superiority. To an unpre JUDGED
public we refer the above propositions, feeling
that ii Little Davis does not see ft to &C
cept them, that the failure to get on his 'fina
crack" as be calls it, lays with himself solely
as 1t can readily be seen that he can get no fair
| er terms from any other oarsman in America.

THE CAMPAIGN In YORK.



Representative Reed spoke at Newfeld yes
terday afternoon to an audience that filled the
Congregational church to repletion. Hon.
S. @. Adams presided and introduced Mr.. Reed,
who spoke an hour and three.quarters on the
financial question. There was much enthusi-
asm manifested and at the close of the meeting
three cheers were given for soar Next Repre-
sentative"
In the evening Mr.. Reed spoke at Wood
bury's Hall 10 Cornish. The hall was packed
and many who desired to could not get in,
such was the jam. B. F. Pease, Esq, intro
duced Mr.. Reed who spoke an hour and half
and held the close attention of his audience.
Evidently the Republicans of York county
are up and doing, determined that no intrigues
of the Democracy shall prevail against them.

A FEW THOUGHTS ABOUT ADAN.-One of
our popular assemblies will discuss the
question of Adam next Sunday. This is we'll,
the subject is one of stirling interest, it has
been neglected too; quite too long, by all means
let Adam be discussed. He was not a perfect
character, not he. he made quite number of
mistakes, and it can't be denied bat what he
married too early. Let us not try to cover up
Adams faults, there is no such thing as
getting around the fact that in getting married
at the age he did, he did it in contempt of
chapter SO, section 5 of the Revised Statutes of
Maine. Eve was under Is, and yet, Adam did
not present to the town clerk any written
consent of any one to her marriage. Again
he took out no marriage certificate, and yet
Section 4, chapter SO says 10 plain terms that
all parties intending marriage "shalr' there is
no discretion in the matter but they shail)
cause notice to be recorded in the clerk's
office, and this. Adam did not do. 1t may be
said that Adam did not have copy of the
aforesaid statutes, but that must net be
allowed to shield him; it was his business to
have a copy, and it is a maxim of law, that
| ignorance of the law excuses no one. But
| aside from that and some little matters which
| at this late day should be overlooked, Adam
was most respectable man. Doubtless in
his young days he was lonesome at times, but
in his old age he had company enough, and it is
presumed that when he was candidate fol
| Office for the last hundred years of his life
he ran ahead of his ticket. We are rather
glad that Adam is to be discussed. There are
things about Adam which the young ought tt
know. For instance he was domestic man
and stayed 10 nights when first married. HI
was hard money map, therefore honest HI
didn't speculate 10 stocks, though he was thu
largest stockowner of his age, but kept clea
of the "gold ROOM" while on the best o
terms with the bulls and bears of his time
There is one thing more to be considered and
that is. that those who will discuss Adam mex
Sunday have discussed everything else AM
after Adam will be nothing-we rejoice there
] fore that Adam is to be discussed

GALE AT PEAKS IsLAND.-The gentle show
er in this city at p. m. yesterday was a yio-
lent gale at Peaks Island. All the tents but
two at Evergreen Landing were blown down.
and trees foot in diameter snapped like pipe
stems. A boat at Sterling's Landing filled and
sunk, and another at House Island. There
was no loss of life however. The rain fell in
torrents and objects at the distance OF a lew
rods were obscured.
