Governor,s Council

The Governors Council has been in session
this week at the State House.
Hearings were had on petitions for the par
don of jeremiah Buckley of Lewiston, confn-
ed in Auburn Jail for liquor selling, and Sam
uel Thurston of Calais, in the State Prison for
rape. No action was taken in either case.
Liquor Agent Bigelow appeared before a
committee of the Council and gave his reason
for not taking the liquor from the former
agent, Mr.. Chase. In substance his reason
was that he had not been furnished with an
assay of the liquors which he had refused to
take. 1t seems Mr.. Bigelow some time since
submitted the question of taking Or rejecting
the liquors to the Council and they decided
that he should take them.
The matter of the pardon of Simeon Yeaton,
proprietor Of the Brewer House, was further
postponed to enable his counsel to be heard.
AT a former session partial hearing was
had, in which S. c. Andrews, Esq. appeared
for Yeaton, and Mrs. L. M. n. Stevens of
Stroudwater for remonstrants, of whom there
are manV

A FEEBLE BOOM.
Scion Chase Addresses Moses G. Dow
and a Few Others in Deering.

Even the name of Scion Chase could not
call out enough of an audience to fill Morgan's
Hall at Morrill's Corner last evening. In fact
when Moses G. Dow, ESD, called the meeting
to order, counting the orator and the reporter
of the PRESS there were 90 persons present,
and while few more came in some went out,
and the number with which the meeting began
kept about the same to the close.
Mr.. Dow took the stand and made brief
speech closing by saying that he was confident
that the distinguished gentleman who was
with them could and would tell them what they
ought to do To this darkly mysterious an
nouncement Mr.. Dow added the interesting
fact that he is himself in fauor of woman
suffrage, which scores one for Lucy Stone.
He closed by introducing Mr.. Chase as
''Maines great operator in the field of agita-
ton and finance"
Three earnest Greenbackers clapped their
hands when the sage of Chase's Mills came
forward, but the applause came better and
with more spirit the rest of the evening as
Mr.. Dow started it at every appropriate place.
Mr.. Chase then delivered his usual speech
varied only by a few local illusions and a ref
erence or two to the Hon. Daniel F. Davis He
referred to the melancholy fact that Senator
Blaine at one time had been in favor of silver
dollar OF 420 grains, which went far to convince
the venerable speaker of the truth of the doc
trine of total depraviy overlooking the fact that
the Democratic allies of the Greenback party
made dollar of 412 grains legal tender. Leav-
ing the Senator Mr.. Chase glided with ease to
John Sherman, whose system of resumption
had caused an over-production of ministers
He feared that by getting pork down to five
cents pound Sherman had compelled people
to economic on the gospel" and ''to get be-
tween pork and the Lord" charge which if
true ought to make Sherman ashamed of him
self
There were touches of rare pathos and elo-
quence scattered through the speech, contrast
ing strongly with the quaintness of the rest
and there is no more reason to dispute his sin
certify and earnestness now perhaps than when
he was publishing his Poor Mans Tracts in
which he showed how the laboring-man was
being cheated with rag money. The fact is
Mr.. Chase, like Sir Joseph Porter, X. C. B..
means well but he don't know
At the close he referred to the platform of
his party in this state, and squarely endorsed
it, and predicted Smiths election "Them
steers" were brought out, of course, and made
to do their part in arousng those present
He set himself squarely against any breach of
the national faith, and referred in sarcastic
manner to those who advocated an unlimited
issue OF irredeemable paper currency

Excellent Reporting

One of the best specimens of reporting we
have seen for many day is the account of the
Masonic dedication at Belfast, published in
the Belfast Journal in a supplement this week.
The report covers two whole pages, and be-
sides the account of the dedication, which is
very full and entertaining, there are sketches
OF several prominent Masons, among them one
OF Hon. Josiah FL. Drummond of this city,
who was the orator of the occasion. A fine
portrait of Mr.. Drummond heads the
sketch. The Journal has reason to be proud
of its work

SwINDLING IN CHARCoAL.-A novel method
of swindling in charcoal, where parties buy a
whole load, has been adopted by some dealers.
They have large and small cart full, have
the two carts weighed by the city weigher, and
receive certificates from him of the amount of
charcoal in each cart. Then they sell the
load in the small cart and show the certificate
OF the large cart as proof that all the char
coal is given the purchaser represented in the
certificate. The proper way for purchasers is
to weigh each load they purchase.
