At the Kellogg-Spofford investigation in
Washington, ID. c., Monday, jules Sc
veignes in continuing his evidence admitted
that he made three afiidavits, voluntarily; had
held position in the Castom House, bnt re-
signed when he became a witness; admitted
that he had told lies, but was never bribed;
signed the affidavit to show how easy it was
to get up such documents, knowing them to
be false. Mr. Drouett Ca democrat had told
him that if he recorded his vote in the logi--
lature for Spofford that he could get what
money he wanted, but he refused was APP
preached on the cars on his way to Washing
ton and informed that by supporting SpoffUrd
he would be taken care of: Cavanac had also
told him that Spofford would divide his salary
During the further examination of witness he
said he was told $500 would be given for 90
ing over to the Nichols legislature. but he
never received the money. Senator Kellogg
Intercepted the witness who testified further
as follows: Elder told him that Cavanac was
getting up affidavits for Spofford To show that
there was no quorum in the Packard legisla-
lature that elected Kellogg. Elder said he
wanted only five to break the quorum, and
that that was the plan, and if they could sue
coed in breaking the quorum Kellogg would
be unseated before this session was over.
Murray said that by testifyng for Spofford
they could get all they wanted, and Cavanac
said that Spofford when seated, would divide
his salary among those who stuck to him.
Cavanac wanted an affidavit similar to the
one witness gave to Elder; witness mentioned
the names of four men with whom to break
the quorum, including Murray and himself.

American Shipping.

The greenback platform contains the
following declaration:
''The decay of American shipping is a sub
eject that justly causes anxiety and alarm and
its revival should enlist the closest attention
of our entire people, and we demand such
legislation as shall cause its revival
The absurdity OF the greenback conven-
ton in adopting such declaration as the
above is all that will cause it to be noticed
by those who are interested in American
shipping and its revival. Why not accom-
pany it with other resolutions demanding
such Legislation as will make the
crops grow, or cause water to run up hill,
or produce any other phenomenon in ma
ture? As to what kind of legislation is
necessary to cause the revival of Ameri
can shipping the declaration above is as
dumb as All oyster. Whoever reads IT
would come to the conclusion that legis-
lation is needed to revive American ship
ping, but it would seem that the wise men
who discovered that fact ought also to
have had some opinion about the measures
to accomplish the end desired.
1t is generally known that American
shipping is not osperous-though doing
better this year than for several years past
but would it aid our shipping interest
any to repeal our navigation laws and allow
the cheaply built vessels of other coun-
tries to compete with our well-built Maine
vessels in the coasting trade? Ask the
Bath ship-builders and ship-owners, or
those of any other part of the State, what
they think of that kind of proposition as
an aid to the revival of American ship
ping? 1t would simply make IA bad matter
a great deal worse. As this is the only
kind OF Legislation concerning American
shipping of which much is said nowadays,
and this chiefly by New York mer-
chants and democrats, we are under the
necessity of believing that the grecnback
platform favors such legislation If it
does not mean that, will some of the wise
men of the party explain what Legislation
it does mean, by the declaration in
its platform in regard to American ship
ping?

The GOvernOrshfp.

The Bangor Wing and Courier of yes
terlay publishes the proceedings of the
meeting of republicans of Sagadahoc
county, declaring in favor of Judge John
A. Peters rs the republican candidate for
Governor, and adds
This cordial expression from the Republi-
cans of Sagadahoc County finds echo in a
spontaneous feeling throughout the State in
favor Of the nomination of Judge Peters for
Governor. Our correspondence and all our
intercourse with Republicans in recent trips
across the State attest the strong ana UNI UNI"
sal desire for the candidacy of judge e'.i
and il is certain that his indication OF Will
lingness to accete 10 the desires OF MS ieiio"
citizens Womb not only settle the question OF
candidacy at once but would be received ev-
erywhere with fhe utmost enthusiasm. we
know whereof we speak when we say that the
occasions have been very rare in any state
where in Gubernatorial canvass there has
been such unanimity of feeling among the
leaders and masses of the party in every sec
ton. as that which has been manifested in all
parts Of Maine in favor of the nomination OF
Judge Peters for Governor. Certainly pop
ular call to public honor and duty has rarely
come in manner more complimentary or
more entitled to serious consideration; and
while we are aware that Judge Peters is cx-
tremely averse to re-entering political life,
and has constantly declined to consent to and
has in every way discouraged the use Of his
name, we must still unite with the Republi-
cans of Sagadahoc in expressing the hope
that he will consent to make personal sacri-
fees for the public good.
We endorse all that the Wing and Cour-
Ter says above in relation to the universal
sentiment of republicans in the State in
favor of the nomination of Judge Peters
as the republican candidate for Governor.
We have sought to ascertain as well as we
could the sentiment of republicans con-
corning the nomination for Governor, and
the result is spontaneous, cordial, united
expression for the nomination of Judge
Peters. For ourselves we only desire that
candidate who will best unite the republic
cans and all Others who are opposed to the
greenback -democratic fusion, and give the
greatest possible strength to the republi-
can ticket That candidate we fully be-
lieve should be Judge Peters, and we
most heartily join our voice and that of
the republicans OF Kennebec county in ia
vor of his nomination. His name is the
name above all others of the many hon
ored names mentioned for the candidacy
TO lead the republican party in the great
campaign now pending.

ApDrODriate Resolutions.

The Portland Press says at is rumored
that the following preamble and resolutions
were submitted to the committee on resolu-
tons of the greenback convention recently
held in this city, but were suppressed on the
ground that while they correctly reflected the
might cause alarm among the honest rank
and fie:''
Whereas, The success of the Greenback
party is largely dependent upon the preva-
lence Of hard times and poor crops, and
whereas we recognize in everything which
conduces to the production of these an agent in
the illustration of the evils of John SHEER
mans resumption policy and whereas we be-
lieve the more poverty that prevails the bet
ter if it only makes more Greenbackers,
therefore
Resoired, That we hail with JOY the advent
of the potato bug and see in the reports of it,,
ravages the harbinger of Grecnback victory
Resoired, That we will discourage the kill
ing of this Greenback ally and will do every
thing in our power to foster and encourage
it in its depredations.
Resoired, That Paris Green is one of our
worst enemies, and ~ such we protest against
its manufacture and use
Resofced, That the recent severe frost has
largely increased the Greenback strength in
this State, and therefore we look forward with
hope to more cold snaps-the colder the bet
ter.
Resoired, That we will allow the circula-
ton in this State of no almanac unless it pre-
diets killing frosts in every month Of this
summer.
Resotred That the next anniversary of the
Declaration of independence be turned into a
day of fasting and prayer for the continuance
Of hard times, as the greatest boon that can
fall TO the lot Of the National Grcenback par
ty.
