The President and Congress.

After the receipt of the Presidents
veto of the Army bill, the Democrats in
the House undertook to pass it, but
failed, the vote being 100 to 11O-not
ed. The joint caucus committee then
held IA meeting, and agreed that the
sixth section of the bill should be so
amended rs to permit the civil author
ity to keep the peace at the polls. This
was regarded as "a partial backing down.
The House Democrats held another
caucus day or two later in which they
agreed to give up their proposed inter-
ference with the civil authority, and
also the point with reference to attach
ing riders to Army bills.
The Republicans then held secret
caucus, and voted to oppose the Dem
Ocratic bill. Senators COnkling and
Edmunds took prominent part in this
action. This is the way matters stood
up to Tuesday, when the House passed
the Democratic caucus bill under the
operation of the previous question.
The bin was not explained. No debate
was allowed. A substitute offered by
Mr.. Robson was voted down, and an
amendment which Mr.. COnger desired
to offer was not received.
Opinions differ as to just what this
new bill of the Democrats means, but it
is evident that they believed they could
not coerce the President, and expect
they now have a bill so framed that he
will sign it. ..

~ There is a reign of terror in St.
Petersburg. The nihilists are creating
the greatest alarm to the government.
Everywhere people are arrested and
hurried off to prison. If man is sus-
pected, the police take the whole fami-
ly and connections. Eightythree lOdg-
ing-hOuse keepers are in prison for not
reporting within twenty-tour hours
their latest arrivals. The Car and his
ministers dare not go out of doors with
out guard there ale few pedestrians
or carriages in the streets; covered
prison vans with an officer behind the
driver, are hurrying along; an endless
line of pOrters acting as watchmen are
to be seen they sit at every door, arm
ed with sticks, and Cossacks gallop
around cracking their whips. All this
shows that the government in trying to
suppress nihilizm, knows not where to
strike. The whole structure of that
vast empire is honey -combed with it..
This state of affairs may have been ag-
gravated by the war, but its seat was
laid generations ago. The causes COM
menced with the rule of despotic power

Some days ago Laconia, N. H., was
thrown into high state of excitement
by the robbery of the National Bank of
that town. During Wednesday night
burglars forced their way into the bank.
and by the use of their tools and pow
der broke into the vault, from which
they took $4,000 in notes and over
$4,000 in cash. The noise of the explo-
sion about 3 a. m. awOke several peo-
pie in the neighborhood, who gave the
alarm, but the robbers escaped with
their booty, leaving behind, however,
Il large amount of valuables.

SHoCKING.-Oneo of the saddest cases
of murder by religious monomanlac
on record in New England was the kill
ing of little girl five years old at North
Sandwich, in Massachusetts,, on Thurs
day. Charles F. Freeman, who has
generally been regarded as sane on
other topics, arose from his sleep early
Thursday morning, and going to the
bedside of his little girl, with the ut
most GOODNESS stabbed her to the heart,
and then took the body of his child to
bed with him and went to sleep. His
wife was cognizant of the whole affair,
and consented, both believing that an
act of religious faith, greater than that
of Abraham of old, had been perform
ed. These unfortunate people are now
in jail. Freeman and his wife are held
for trial.

SPRING.
The organ grinders were Il little pre-
mature in heralding "Spring, Spring,
gentle SPRING" and there was some
thing of a discount on the traditional
May Day, but there is good reason to
believe the happy season has come at
last. Anyway, the nuIsemaids and theil
youthful charges have taken to per-
ambulating the Common, the boys have
begun to play marbles and Chop
Scotch" the base ball players have
suddenly blOssOmed into activity, and
circus posters have begun to appear on
the fences and dead-walls. In few
days the cries of the fruit vendors, the
pest of late Users, will be transferred
from ''Pie-aps" (popularly supposed to
mean "pie apples') to Strawberries"
The latter fruit has already made its
appearance in the markets, being quite
as early as usual and by no means high.
The berries are sold at from 30 to so
cents per box. Among the signs of the
warm season, too, are the preparations
for excursions and pleasure travel. Ex
tenSlve arrangements are being made
ut Nantasket Beach, Revere Beach, and
the other seashore resorts neal Boston
to accommodate increased crowds. New
hotels are going up in one or two places,
and the railway and steamboat COM
panies are also extending their facilities
for warm weather excursions.
RARE BOOKS AND AUTOGRAPHS.
Several noteworthy sales at auction
of rare libraries have recently taken
place in Boston, on account of the
deaths of their owners. In a recent
collection thus disposed of were a large
number of illustrated works, the illus
trations being in many cases artists
proofs, often obtained at great cost,
while the owner, private Boston gen
tleman, had further enriched the volume
by Extending" or adding other pic
manded high prices. In the same col

The State Convention.

The Republican State Convention which
was held in Bangor yesterday was one of the
largest gatherings of the kind that ever as
semblcd in Maine and was as distinguished in
quality as in numbers. The delegates who
composed it represented the intelligence and
enterprise of the State, and reflected the OPP
inions of the honest masses of the people
The croakers who believe that the country is
going to the dogs or are sorry that ii is not; the
tricksters who dishonesty suggest that there
is way to pay debt without paying it; the
disciples of school of political economy
which teaches that money is simply II creation
of law and that ANYTHING is a dollar which the
government sees fit to call so; the jugglers
who profess to be able to revive business by
using the currency as magic wand and the
communists who think society owes them a
living and denounce capitalists as robbers
were none of them there. Neither were the
men who believe it safe to turn over the
country to the rebels and traitors of 1861.
The convention was distinguished AS well AS
by the men who were excluded as those who
were admitted.
The work of the convention was two-fold-
TO construct platform rejecting the opinions
of the Republican party and to nominate a
candidate acceptable to Republican voters.
Both duties were performed we'll The plat
form is clear and concise statement of the
cardinal principles of the Republican faith,
and is evidently the work of men of strong
convictions who had the courage to say pre-
cisely what they thought. Nothing could be
better than its declarations regarding the cur
rency. Not the faintest concession is made
on this point. All schemes to tamper with
al. .f rIat. ..,l
demned. The Republican party of Maine
once more announces to the country that it
believes in currency based on coin and re-
deemable in coin, and that only, and that it
will not abate one jot or title of its demand
on this point in answer to a senseless clamor
no matter how loud and general it may be-
come. The resolution commencing the ac-
ton of the President in vetoing the appropr-
alton bills is timely and well-deserved rec
ognition of the firm and uncompromising
course of the Chief Magistrate
There will undoubtedly be feeling of dis
appointment in the western part of the State
over the nominee of the convention. Espe-
cially will this be the case in Portland, be-
cause two of the candidates before the con-
venton were residents of this city, and were
men either of whom would have made a wor-
thy standard bearer. But that some should
De disappointed was inevitable. The cOnyen-
tion had to choose from "A large number of can
didates, and the substantial unanimity with
which it united on Mr.. Davis at the last i.
conclusive proof that he WAS regarded, under
all the circumstances, us the strongest man
that could be nominated. 1t shows also tina,
he WAS !he candidate of no one man nor ring
OF men, but the popular choice. Undoubted
ly the fact that the east is to be the battl,
ground this year had strong strong inhuenc,
in bring the convention to the conclusion il
finally reached.

senator Blaine's Remarks at the
State Conventions.

Senator Blaine, who was looking in splen-
did condition, notwithstanding his con
slant labors during the extra session, re-
marked that speech from the platform would
seem to detract from rather than add to the
eloquence of such magnificent gathering
which was in itself the herald of the victory
that the republicans of Maine are bound TO
roll up in September He said we have to
fight the old combination of greenback-demo-
crats or democratic,greenbackers and whcth-
er one or the other formed the head of the fu-
sion, it is plain that the old democratic party
has bill Of sale of the whole concern. He
asked every republican who had been led into
that delusion, if any such were present AS
spectators, where they could expect the
greenback movement to land them except
in the old democratic-rebel camp. IN proof
Of the inyariable and inevitable drift
Of the fusion movement he cited the Con-
gressionai record of Representatives Ladd
and Murch and said if two more constituent,
subseryient and persistent democratic voters
for the worst measures of that party could be
found, he would like to have them named.
In this connection he referred to the intense
hostility Of those gentlemen to the presence
