Motion to. quash #. Ja. for costs issued
by the clerk of tho Supreme Court to the
Sheriff Marion county, against appellees,
individually and not as administrations; and
also to set aside sale made Hereunder for
inadequacy of price. . ..t..
SINRAIL, G. j.,
Held
/. An executor or administrator as a
sutton, assumes individually the risk Of
costs. It is entirely proper, therefore, to
adiudge costs to be levied DE 60nis l)r0priis.
Section 1890 of the Code of 1871, provides
a method by which the executor or admin
istrator nay exonerate himself from the
liability II the the Court awards the GER
titcate therein suggested, he may be dis
charged from individual liability although
the estate may be insufficient to pay its
debts.
I'd. The other branch of the motion is
to set aside the sale. There is nothing to
guide our judgement except the return OF
the Sheriff, which is regular. If a serious
condensation of the sale wore intended to
have been made, the concomitants explaha-
tory of it's character ought to have been
shown. ...
Motion denied.

Young Men to the Rescue.

L am pleased to see SO many young men
at the Republican headquarters, looking after
the interests of the party that saved the nation.
This is right. There is every reason for the
young man to feel proud of his party, and when
he attends public meeting in the City Hall
he need only look over the room to see that
the party that saved the nation is the party
that makes up the responsible part of the com
munity. How is it with the Kangaroo party?
Look on the stage or over the Hail. and say
are there the men to entrust the affairs of the
country to? What are they? They represent
the disconnected, sorehead, irresponsible part
of the community, men whose names are not
suggestive Of solvency. Many of them would
call it smart to beat a man out of ten dollars
in fiat promises to pay. With them the rule is
never to pay any debt they can avoid paying
The truth is the men who lead the party in
this city are if one half said about them be
true, a bad lot. They are a fine set to lead i'll
a new party. All they glory in is to cheat
somebody, and raise issues that if carried out
would ruin the country. The Argus is an an
mex to the whole concern You ask a Demo-
cratic business man if he is in favor Of the
banks being legislated out OF existence. He
will tell you it can't be done, and yet, by his
vote and influence, try to unsettle the business
of the country. This shows our young men
that one side of the fusion party stands for
commercial reputation and national disgrace
while the other means deception and trickery.
However, the honest people are going to "set
down. OH the Smith Garcelon game on the Sth
of September in way that will teach men
that honesty in politics is the best policy.

SEQUEL TO THE UNION REGATTA.
The Cumberlands Win by a Third of
Length.

Those interested in boating were today fav-
ored with two races, both growing out of the
regatta at Lake Sabago yesterday.
The first race was a match in working boats
between Lewis TONNES of Saco and VIM. Shay
of this city. The distance was one mile, start
ing at the lower Great Eastern wharf and hin
ishing at the Union wharf. TONNES got away
with the best of the start, but Shay soon got
even, and the men were level for one-third OF
a mile, when TONNES began to draw away IRON
his opponent and gradually improved his lead
Shay succumbed when off Franklin wharf W
the greater youth and strength OF the oaco
man. Townes continued leisurely to the nh
ish, winning as he pleased. Mr.. Shay informs
us that he was out-boated, TONNES having
much lighter and better boat than his OWL
and that he was suffering from rheumatism
and could not do himself justice. He INTENDS
to challenge TONNES for another race
The second event was the undecided anna
teur four-oared race of Wednesday between
the Unions and Cumberland crews. Owing to
claims of foul being made in the Sebago race
by both crews, the uncertainty of deciding Oh
the merits and the referee not being able 10
see the fouls from his position at the start the
race was ordered to be rowed over yesterday
afternoon. The course was two miles, starting
at the Union wharf with the turn at the lower
Great Eastern wharf. Each crew had sep
arate stake boat, the crews turning from star
board to port, otherwise the race was rowed
under the National Rules
At 6p. IN. the boats were called into line, the
IT,,.o Irax do
start the Cumberlands were first to take the
water, but did not gain any advantage. The
Unions rowing more strokes, and forging to the
front gradually, kept well under the
wharyes, cheating the tide, and led to their
stakeboat by length. There was no change
in the positions of the crews until one mile and
fve-eighths had been rowed, when the Cum
berlands, who were rowing well out in the
tide, bega1sto get ON level terms and at quar-
ter of mile from home had begun to show
the way. The race from this point was one OF
gaminess and desperation, the finish being
most exciting, with the Cumberland boys only
a third of a length to the gaol. .Time-14.32.
Both crews deserved praise, not alone for their
good rowing, but also for the manly way in
which they severally bore victory and defeat,
the Unions acknowledging themselves out
rowed, and the Cumberlands wishing them bet
ter luck next time.
Mr. L. Benemelis acted as starter in the
working boat race, and Mr.. Dyer Pearl of the
Dauntless Club, New York, as referee in both
races The pleasant and satisfactory manner
in which the race was decided was proper
termination to the happy gathering of the
Unions and their friends on their annual pic
mic at Sebago. The races were witnessed by a
very large crowd.

The Portland g. Rochester.

Yesterday Mr.. Wescott, the owner OF the
Rochester road, was sufficiently well to be out
He says that there is not, neither will there be,
any lease of the Rochester to any road. 1t is
possible, as all things are possible in this
world, that when some of the contracts with
other roads expire, if new contracts cannot be
made on as favorable terms with those roads,
then perhaps they will be made with other
roads. He says that Mr.. Gill does not own
any interest in the Portland & Rochester to
his knowledge, and he thinks he ought to
know. When the new organization OF the
road will take place he cannot say definitely;
anyway not before his receivership of the
Rochester expires in October. The road will
always be run in the interest of Portland, and
in such a way as shall enable it to make the
most money.

sephine had clear, high soprano and sang
sweetly, and received much applause. Hebe
in her one song was encored and received
basket of flowers. Her manner was bewltch-
ingly graceful, But Deadeye made everybody
shout with laughter Buttercup took her part
splendidly. She is perhaps II years old. She
