JOSEPH S. FARRAR,

After receiving the foregoing statement in
writing from Farrar. returned to Calais and
there saw Mr.. Martin again. He said he had
not had time to make out the statement, but
would make it out and bring it to me in the
morning. During the evening L exhibited the
writing to C. II. Whidden and Edgar Whid-
den of the Calais Times, and they read it,
also made an accurate copy of it. The next
morning Mr.. Martin appeared at the hotel, went
to my room and said he had not had time to
write out the statement but would do so then,
and sat down at the table TO do so, and asked
me for the statement from Farrar and said he
would put his statement in the same form.
handed it to him and went out of the room on
an errand. When started to return L met
him below and asked him how he got out of
the room, as had locked the door, He said
the servant let him out, and asked me to go
into the parlor with him. 1 did so, and he
said Mr.. Rolfe had returned and they were
suspicious that was not all right, that l was a
stranger and they were afraid to give me the
statement He said if L would bring letter
from Mr.. Blaine, or some other leading Repub-
lican, they would give me all the facts. told
him that Downs and Pike were both away and
l could not get letters from them to bring with
me. He said if L would telegraph to Blaine or
some other prominent Republican, and get an
answer that it was all right, / could have the
statement. 1 told him Blaine. Frye, Hale and
Reed were all away, and l could not and
should not telegraph to any one, but might get
a letter from some one and return. L asked
him to give me Farrar's statement, but ne re-
fused, and said that Rolfe and Farrar wanted
him to get it from me.

THIS is a good time to take testimony.
Here is what Secretary Sherman said when
asked what reply he would make if anyone
wanted to know why Cornell wasn't fit to
be Naval Officer at New York if he is fit to
be Governor of that State: 81 shall say
frankly that the ability of Mr.. Cornell to ad-
minister the duties of naval officer was nev-
er questioned, nor was his honesty and eff
cheney ever assailed; but he placed himself
in antagonism to certain features of admin
istration which the President desired carried
out in the Office of which he was the head,
and his removal became necessary as mat
ter of consistency and discipline. have
the very highest respect for Mr.. Cornell per-
sonally, and hope he will be elected Gov
ernor. He will make good officer, and,
more than all, in this contest he represents
principles that are vital to the safety of this
country" So it is only question of disci-
pline! Had the Administration been as
frank two years ago serious misunder-
standing might have been avoided.

VALUE OF Moral GRIT.-A correspondent
OF the Interior quotes Gen. Taylor's celebra-
ted order :" a little more grape, Captain
Bragg" and comments as follows: The fact
is that one half of the evils we complain of
in Christian communities can be remedied
by little show Of grit. DR.. Campbell, of
Rochester, has told us how the Christian
men of that city succeeded in suppressing the
whole vile brood of unlicensed and disre.
putable grog-shops of Rochester. 1t re.
minds me of victory not less important
won in our own smaller city over the trade
in Police Gazette and all their kind expost-
ulations and moral suasion were as idle as
whstling; but when three men simply put
a little more grape into their guns the
enemy quickly surrendered. In one short
half day we secured the signatures of all the
clergymen of the city, ~,ll the teachers and
officials of the schools, all the incumbentS
of the count officers, and half the number
of leading citizens to paper, pledging
themselves not to trade where one of these
papers was exposed for sale or kept on
demand. In that half day the work was
done. There was not a Police Gazette or
Days DOingS to be had in the city for love
or money by night fall. Before that they
had invaded our schools, lain upon our
hotel tables, been free reading to our boys
upon every news-counter, and been
unblushingly exhibited upon the posters of
the public highway. Such things do not
listen to reason or pity, or to decency, but
at the click of well.loaded gun they will
come down as nimbly and as humbly as
Davy Crocketts coon. Load up your guns,
brethren and the remedy you seek is found.
Not words or tears, but little more grape,
is what is needed.

that he can anneal bars of iron or steel at
