A CATAMARAN-Au odd looking craft the
rived here from Salem, where she is owned,
Sunday, and yesterday she attracted the atten-
ton of large number of persons. The Aneri-
can catamarans ara not like the timber ca:a-
marans seen on the coast of Brazil, that 90 I'm.
der and throughput never over-the Water at
great speed, and keep their crews constantly
soaked with salt water; nor like the flying
proas of the Malays, that sail 20 knots an hour
close-hauled, and lie within two and half
points of the wind at that; bat they have kind
of cross between the two first-not so utterly
uncomfortable as the first, nor SO fast as the
latter. Dromedary consists of two hulls, each
80 feet long and % inches wide, held distance
of IS feet from each other by stout cross-.im-
bers, the bulls drawing IS inches of water. In
one of these cross-tmbers the single mast is
stepped, and on this mast is hoisted single
sail such Except 10 materially as is carried by
Chinese junks, having Ave yards and contain
ing 1O3 yards of canvas Der racing sail will
contain 200 yards] The accommodations for
the crew consist of a tank or Car, about 10 feet
long, feet wide and feet high, which sits
upon the after part of the Frame work, which
connects the long, narrow bulls or supporting
tanks. A little dory, which is hauled up and
slowed away on the framework when sailiog,
completes the catamaran's it-out
Her crew consists of Massrs. George W.
Mansfield and Edgar Blake of Salem, the
former being the queer-looking crafgS builder.
Mr.. Mansfield informs us that she is rather
slow in going about, as might be expected, but
that with proper management she meyer mis-
stays She sails about fifteen knots an hour,
and will do better than this when in good sail
ing trim. She left for Salem last night.

Gentlenoen:-I have the honor to acAnowl-

The declarations made by thu Republicans of

enunciatng as they do the conceptions of the
nature and functions of our National Govern

hearty approval and concurrence. As the
utterance Of faithful and influential consttu-
ents Of the party which restored the Union

tuition the explicit and emphatic prohibition of
infringement upon the rights and privileges of
citizens of the United States and whose history
is replete with benefits to the whole country,
they demonstrate that that party is still the
party OF the people, the defender Of the nation

DEEP AND SLY.-The secret meeting Of the
Greenback and Democratic leaders of this
county, which was held yesterday at the Fal.
mouth, was fully attended. and while the re-
porters were excluded Except the New Era
representative we are enabled to give reason
ably full report of the meeting, and what it
was intended to accomplish. The intention of
the callers of the meeting was to provide, if
possible, for the union of the Greenbackers
and Democrats in this county. The friends of
General Anderson have become alarmed at the
outlook. The defeat of Mr.. Cushman in the
Democratic County Convention defeated the
nice little arrangement which had been made,
to sell out the Greenback movement to Ander.
son. Before the convention, it was common
talk that Cove was to be bolted by the Demo-
cratic Greenbackers, and General Anderson
supported, but after the convention and Cush-
mans defeat, the leaders of the Democracy
found that, if Cove was to be sold out. the
leaders of the Greenbackers must be well paid,
hence the meeting of yesterday, when a secret
understanding was arrived at on the following
points: The Democratic candidate for Sheriff
is to retire in favor of Mr. Cushman, and the
Greenback candidate for Clerk of Courts in
favor of the Democratic candidate, Cove to be
quietly ignored ard the expenses Of publishing
the Greenback organ is to be paid by the
friends of General Anderson. By this "pool-
ing" of candidates. both parties to the con-
tract will get something. The meeting of
yesterday was well planned, aud Mr.. Daniel
w. Proctor deserves, and we trust will receive.
due credit for his efforts to bring about the
union of the two shows, which will after this
exhibit under one canvas, unless they are scared
out of their little game by this prem ature
exposure of the intrigue.
