Our citizens should not forget that repub-
lican city government voted to assume the ex-
pense of building Fishery over the dam
across the Kennebec, in addition to the two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars previously
donated to the Spragues, and for which we
are heavily taxed annually to pay the interest
The proper authorities are taking steps to
construct such Fishery, and they in turn
have demanded of the city the performance
Of the agreement on the part of the city to
build it for them. Notice to that effect was
served on the present city government some
months ago, and the matter was referred to
the city Solicitor, who reported that in his
judgment the action of the present city gov
eminent in voting to assume the liability was
wholly unauthorized and without legal effect,
and therefore the Board of Aldermen
refused to take any measures for building said
Fishery. Messrs. Baker & Baker, counsel
for the Spragues, obtained copies of the
record with view to legal proceedings to
compel the city to carry out the vote of the
former Council to construct the Fishery, but
il IL now understood that DESPERATE Eff
FORT Is TO BE MADE TO ELECT REPUBLICAN
CITY CONVENIENT THAT WILL BUILD IT, and
relieve the Spragues of that burden. With
this object in view the employees of the
SPrague corporation are to be bniidosed into
coting the republican ticket
If the tax payers Of Augusta do not want
to follow in the footsteps of the city of Eliz-
abeth in the State of New Jersey, and become
bankrupt, they must keep the control of their
Affairs out Of the hands of the ring which
has piled such heavy debt upon them and
stands pledged to add the expense of This
Fishery to ii. Re-elect the present govern
ment and save yourselves from this new dan
ger.-Nationat Democrat.
The opposition in this city must be in a
desperate strait to resort to such lies and
clap-trap Is the above contains in order to
prop their waning power.
We have it from the lips of the counsel
of the Spragues, Baker & Baker, that the
Spragues have no intention of institutina
illegal proceedings to compel the city t,
build fshway; that they are as well sat
isiied as the City Solicitor himself that tn.
city is not holden by its vote to build it
that they came to this opinion months ago
and that the City Solicitor knew it before
he published the above article.
II the taxpayers of Augusta need an,
more evidence to convince them that the
National Democrat and the Maine Stand
ard will stoop to any lies however base
any means however INSCRIPTIONS, to make
capital for the democratic party, they have
it in the above article. r..l s
It is piece Of sheer falsehood and clap
trap from beginning to end, just worthy o
such . character as our present Cit,
Solicitor snd the small fry of Overseers o
the Poor. &C., who are anxiously striving

Congress and the Federal Flee
ton Laws.

The Washington Correspondent Of the
cans to carry out the programme of forcing
the democrats to pass the repeal of the Fed
eral Election laws by means of their own quo
rum, should not be understood to prove the
inability of the republicans to stop this legis-
lation at a subsequent stage of the proceed
ings. 1t was not the purpose of the leaders
to cause much delay in the passage of the
bill at this time. They knew very well that
there was a quorum of democrats in the city
to-day, and that after few roll calls these
men would be brought into the House and
would pass the bill whether the republicans
voted or not.
The republicans have not, in consequence
of their failure to-day, lost control of the
Legislative bill That measure now goes to
the Senate, where, after a contest more or
less prolonged, the obnoxious paragraphs are
certain to be stricken ont. Then the whole
subject will be referred to a conference COM
mittee The Vice President will unquestion-
ably appoint three Senators, two at least of
whom will be opposed to the repeal of the
election laws.
The Speaker will appoint two democratic
representatives who favor this measure.
This conference committee will be unable to
agree, and will report its disagreement to the
respective houses. Other conferences will be
appointed, and until either the republicans or
the democrats conclude to recede from the
position they have taken no compromise can
be effected.
The controversy will be renewed in the
House after two or three conference commit
tees have failed to agree. 1t has been under
stood that almost ever since the democratic
caucus ordered this legislation to be attached
to the Legislative bill it was the purpose of
the democrats, at the last moment and when
il should become necessary to prevent the
failure of the Legislative bill, to recede from
the position they have taken in regard to the
Federal election laws. and allow the bill to
go through. The republicans certainly never
will surrender, and if the democrats persist,
as many of them threaten to do to-day, an
extra session will be inevitable.

Nerve Inquietade and Its remedy.

Restless nerves, at least those that are con-
stantly so, are weak ones as well. The true
way to tranquilize them thoroughly is to
strengthen them. 1t may be, nay. ii very
often is necessary to have recourse TO seda-
tive or even an opiate, in dangerous cases of
nervous inQuietude, but the continued use of
sucn unnatural pallIatives, is greatly to be de
precated. Though not, in a restricted sense, a
specific for nervousness. HoStetter's Stomach
Bitters is eminently calculated to allay and
eventually overcome it, a fact which the re-
corded experience of many goes to substan-
iiate. This inesiimable tonic, by promoting
digestion. assimilation and secretion, touches
the three key notes upon which the harmony
of all the bodily organs depends, and the re-
suit is that fresh stores of vitality diffused
through the system, of which the nerves re-
ceive their due apportionment, and grow
tranquil as they gather strength.
