A Powerful Auxiliary.

For some time past il has been apparent
that The Belfast Journal would cut loose
from the party Of which ithas 30 long been
one OF the leading papers, rather than con
sect 10 the abandonment OF the honest
money principles 1t has always advocated.
The Journal regards honesty a. the best
policy, while the party TO which 1t has be-
longed has adopted an entirely different
policy. which is the policy OF dishonesty
50 far as the question OF our National
finances is concerned. Last week the
Journal placed at the head Of its column.
the name OF Hon. Daniel F. Davis. the Re-
publican candidate for Governor, and in an
editorial. which We reprint in another col
umn, defines It's position and gives good
and sufficient reasons for the step II has
taken. Republicans gladly welcome the
valuable assistance which this powerful
journal will give them in the light against
the heresy Of soft money and sgsinst the
Vaccinations Of those who are willing to
sacrifice the best interests OF the country
for the sake OF place and power.

WASHINGTON. ID. C.. July 5, 1879.
Instead Of attracting people TO this city on

themselves among the numerous agreeable re-
sorts in the neighborhood and on the Potomac

the Declaration Of Independence and eulogized

where in the country so general and hearty

What the country may expect from
Southern Brig sdiers aud their Northern a.
lies in Congress, should the Democracy
again obtain complete control of the Gov
ernment, may be inferred from the fact
that already large demands are coming
from abroad for confederate notes and
nesrly a million dollars OF confederate scrip
of denominations from ten dollars to one
thousand has been shipped TO England and
France during the last two weeks. The
notes most in demand are those issued by
the Montgomery alabama County bank
ia '6l and Richmond Bank Note Company
Of the same year. Quite q premiEm is

federate money WAS sold In New York.

correspondent sends the following 10
the Bangor Wig relative TO the resigna-
ton OF Prof. Fletcher. late Principal OF the
Castiue Normal School:
'At a recent meeting OF the trustees OF
the Maine State ormal schools, the resig-
nation OF G. T. Fletcher. ESQ. Principal OF
the Eastern school located al CAstine was
received and accepted. At the previous
meeting OF said board. be was reelected for
another year.
The reasons for his resignation are poor
health and 4 desired change Of location
from the sea atmosphere. Mr.. Fletcher
has been connected with this school for
twelve years, indeed we might say tina, he
established 1t, In asmucb as he opened aud
organized the school In 1866. At tina, time
the school was very small, and the faculty
consisted Of Principal Fletcher and Mrs
Fletcher. his assistant. Under the earnest
and efficient work Of the Principal. the
school has constantly Increased In the
character OF the work done, until IL has
reached a standing which is probably equal
to that Of any Normal School 10 New Eng
land
He has not only built up the school, but
has sent out large number OF students
who have taught aud are teaching. from
W SAiuefuia, viii success.
spreading wider and wider the influence
imbibed at the CasiiDe NOrmsl School.
The greater number OF these teachers are
filled with the enthusiasm Of their princi-
pal, and the influence Of such q man will
ever increase in usefulness.
BY his resignation. the school and the
State have met with a loss. We regret
that such q change was unavoidable, and
hope that he may locate In the interior OF
the State where his health may improve,
and his influence - an educator, still be
hsd In Maine.
Mr.. Woodbury. OF the Pennington Nor
NAL School has been elected rs Mr.. Fetch
er's successor. He has been teacher 10
the Pennington school twelve years, hay-
ing done very satisfactory work. and comes
TO this position highly recommended. We
hope and trust that be will oil the prinei-
palship u Castine. with credit to himself,
to the school and the State"
