A Religio-speculative Association.

New York, June 5.--Anot Ter Roman
Catholic western colonization meeting
was held here last night. The aggre-
gate subscriptions to the required fund
of one hundred thousand dollars, now
exceed thirty-two thousand. John
Kelly, in explaining the plans of the
association, said: The land was in
tended to be disposed of in alternate
sections, the intermediate ones to re-
main the property of The association,
and by simple emigration and the inn
provement Of the other sections the
value of the company's land would be
so increased as to yield large profit to

day says: Hon. Nathaniel Niles, the
Young lawyer who succeeds Adams as
one of the government directors of the
Union Pacific railroad, may not know
as much as his predecessor, but he has
given the subject study, and as for
practice, the people can trust the man,
who, when speaker of the New Jersey
assembly, smiled at summons and
complaint for one million dollars dam
ages, which powerful railway combi-
nation served him with, and continued
more cheerfully than before to show ON
the floor, as in the press, that the OBJ
iects of the railway were unjust and
against the public veal.

As 10 stough,on,s Statement.

New York, June 5.-The Sm's
Washington special says: The return
of Ministers Stonghton and Kasson
from st. Petersburg and Vienna, re-
spectively, has revived the rumors of
impending changes in the diplomatic
service. There is no reason to believe
that Kasson will abandon his soft posi-
ton, but it is said that the climate of
Russia has so impaired Stoughton's
health us to make his resignation pos
sble.
The Herald and Sua ridicule Minis
ter Stoughton's declarations that the
nihilist troubles are greatly exaggerated.
His statements mainly agree neverthe-
less with the views recently expressed
by Bishop Tozer, of the English church,
who returned few days ago from
an extended confirmation tour in Rus
sia, and who is well known in this city
as an observant traveller and conscien-
tious writer. They also agree with the
statements of the archbishop of Alaska
and recent intelligent writers for Lon
don papers.

ought to direct its movements.

mended ex-congressman John B. Haw-

A DISGRACEFUL ACT.

Hon. Edward Noyes Falsely Accused OF
Bribery.
WATERvMLE, Sept. 15.-Hon. Edwin Noyes
was arrested Saturday for alleged bribery of
Frenchman named Daniel Butler, the COM
plainant being Charles B. Gilman. who is not
a voter here, and is the person who shot Mr..
Noyes in October, 1877. Mr.. Noyes was exam
ined before Judge Aver (Dem.) of West Wa
terville today and promptly acquitted The
Judge III dismissing the case said complain
ants witnesses could not be relied upon.
The testimony of witnesses showed that But
Ter concocted a story and represented to differ
emit prominent Republicans that he had been
to Burnham and got five voters and wanted "a,
that being the amount paid for HORSE hire,
which amount Noyes paid. Butler before see
ing Noyes declared himself Republican and
circulated Republican votes at the polls during
:. the day No pretense was made that the four
dollars was for any other purpose than for the
team.
No magistrate in Waterville would grant

graduating them on the vindication of the Re-
publican party as well as himself.

Anniversary of the Republica

Anniversary of the Republican Party
WORCESTER, Sept. 15-The twenty-ffth
anniversary of the formation of the Republi-
can party was observed by grand mass meet
ing at Mechanics Hall this evening The hall
was crowded and great enthusiasm prevailed.
Gen N p Banks presided and in his OPEN
ing remarks said the career of the Republican
party was identified with and part of tie
most important events of the world in the last
quarter of "a century. The abolition of slavery
and reconstruction of the country form page
in history almost without a parallel The
party was formed in the face of one of the
most powerful parties that ever ruled nation.
For three-fourths of a century that party
ruled with iron sway, but in four years after
the young Republican party was organized that
old party was routed, and after four years of
war was crushed Its craftsmanship following
the close of the war has seldom been equalled.
Born III Massachusetts,, the party spread rap
idly in the North and has eXerted a great
influence in the country and world. An inn
mense foreign immigration has been carefully
protected and diplomatic relations with the
world conducted with conSummate skill. 1t
remains for the Republican party to see that all
native born citizens are protected in their full
rights, even though e. cry battle field OF the
Union is to be again contested and conquered.
Brief addresses were also made by Senator
Dawes, Hon. Lewis Barker of Maine, Hon.
Geo. b. Loring, Hon. Edward l.. Pierce and
others.

ed-three in the West and three in New Eng
land and New York. Within month, also

national bank circulation which will have
been issued within month will amount to
about $2,OOO000 The Boston and New York
banks especially, which some time ago with

tion are now renewing it, and are making ur-
gent demands upon the Treasury for notes OF
