WE are surprised that the Argus should
take the trouble to deny that Tilden ever

Two things were strange to General Grant
when he landed on the Pacific shore, the

the acquaintance of both. At the California
Theatre, where he witnessed the great bur-

lowing lines in his honor:
And now, as the ruler of the Queens nayee,
l am pleased our honored guest to see,
Who has sailed the briny ocean o'er,
But has never seen the good ship "Pinafore

Fruits of Democratic Rule in Ken
lucky.

The condition of State affairs is 1amentable. We
are cursed with the worst system of assessment
of any State in the Union and our system of assess
ment is one degree better than system of collec
tion. Our public schools are in a decaying state;
Cur rivers are mot navigable; our Pententiary is
FULL and the State Treasury has suspended payment
Our Judiciary exctes feelings of respect the fee
system and elective Judges have degraded it and
brought it into contempt. The fee system prevails
in every department, and it is fruitful source OF
trouble. Lawlessness prevails everywhere, our
courts seldom punish crime, and Judge Lynch is the
chief protection in many counties. On the Supreme
Bench of the State the Democratic party placed a
man whose chief merit was that he once blacked
boots and is now undergoing judicial investigation
for backing his record And they have placed at
the head of the Executive Department man
whose record during the War is making many votes
for the Republican party in Ohio This is no over
drawn picture of the result of the reign of Bourbon
ism. This State will support Tilden in the National
Democratic Convention, but it will not be long be-
fore the support of Kentucky will be of questionable
value.-Louisville Post and News, Qnd Dem9
If the ablest political historian in this or
any other country should spend 30 years try
ing to depict the beauties of the Democratic
party, he could not get a more accurate pic
ture of its true inwardness than the above
extract. The photograph is natural as life.

Mr. EDIToR:-We learn that quite contest
is going ON between Judge Goddard and Col.
Fred n. Dow, over the post office. The Judge
makes a good officer, but his opponents claim
that he has held the Office eight years and
should retire. Col. BOWS friends ask his ap-
pointment upon the ground Of his having per-
formed some service to the party. We fail to
see why the contest should be confined to these
two gentlemen. There are others whose
names have been mentioned, who are in every
respect as well qualified for the position, and
the appointment of either would be more popu-
lar, and give more satisfaction to the Republic
cans of this city. Among the names mention
ed are Augustus F. Gerrish, Daniel W. Fes-
sender and Munroe A. Blanchard.
That our post office is model one no one
will deny, and it is owing in large degree to
the excellent corps of officers employed there:
If there is to be change the appointment OF
either of the three gentlemen named would
give great satifaction to our citizens, and
would be recognition of deserving merit

The following Juniors have been appointed
to take part in the exhibition at the close OF
the term: w. I Cole, Brunswick; G. Ell. Cut
Ter, Harrington; F. A. Fisher Westford,
Mass; H. l.. Staples, Parsonsfeld.
The College has lately been presented with q
fine collection of fossils by Rev. Dr. 1. P. War
rem of Portland. They are all of the carboni-
ferrous age and were found in Pennsylvania.
The collection is an extensive and valuable
one and is said by Prof. Lee to be unexcelled
in any college cabinet in the country of its
SIZE Coming at this time when the study Of
geology is being pursued they form valuable
addition to the present collection as a means
of practical instruction to the classes and
greatly assist the student in acquiring a
thorough knowledge of the study which could
be obtained in no other way. Prof. Lee is
making additions to the geological collection
all the time and hopes in the no distant future
to have specimens as thoroughly illustrative OF
the science as can be obtained. The fine spec
linens of the various minerals found in the Vi
entity of Brunswick furnish an excellent OPP
portunity to exchange for fossils, and in this
way numbers Of fine specimens have been OBJ
tanned. The contributions from the Alumni
have been quite numerous, so that In every
way the College seems to be increasing its
geological stores
