To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal:
The name of +. F. Pillsbury, as candidate
for Senator, has bad effect for the demo-
Gratis in this place. Only yesterday promi-
nent democrat, who was soldier in the last
war, was heard to say, that "when his party
put up such men for him to vote for as Eben
f. Pillsbury. the author of the Kingfeld Riot,
it was time that he and all other soldiers who
are democrats, left that party" and he pro-
posed to "vote for Davis this fall"
That is the way Pillsbury is looked on down
here

HANNIBAL HAMLIN.
An Ansesest Of he Nsssor sfshs Senate.


Washington Letter to the Chicago Times.
A good story is told about Hanni-
bal Hamlin, who is one Of the old.
est senators. and who IS yet unrec-
onciled with the administration. The
venerable Hamlin has very
marked down.east accent. He was
one Of tho party of Republican sem
ators who early in the Hayes adj
ministration, called upon the presi-
dent to demonstrate with him upon
bis southern policy. During the
conference Mr. Hamlin occupied q
back seat, and sat with his hands
rammed down to the bottom of his
breeches pockets, while his head
leaned forward upon his breast. He
was an intent listener to all that
was said, both by the senator's and
the president. He began to talk
about the possibility Of bis policy.
The president was in his most ge-
NAL, hopeful mood. He spoke 10
glowing terms of the beauty OF the
common brotherhood that section
atty should be forgotten, and that
the sweet spirit OF Christian infiu.
ence should come TO purify the con.
tests of politics. "Our southern
brethren have erred" said he; shave
been bitterly punished, aud now let
US forgive and forget. Let ua, dear
senator's, take the erring brother to
our bosom and convince him by the
warm throbbing of our hearts for
him that he is Of our blood, our kith
and kin. The effect of such q noble
policy" said the president, "wilI be
to touch the heart of the South to
its very depth, and out of those
depths shall gush the well-spring of
gratitude that will insure Republic
can victories in at least Eve States
in the South" 1t was noticed, as
the PRESIDENT went on, tina. Hanni-
bal Hamlin was. becoming perfectly
hyst erical with rage. His blood was
pumped up under his withered
cheeks his eyes sparkled and
snapped until he looked ten years
younger. When the president made
the statement that he thought his
beautiful policy would carry at least
five States in the South, Hannibal
Hamlin could stand it no longer. He
got up, walked around ia front of
the crowd of senators and strobe up
to the president, exclaiming: "You
cahn't kerry damned taown, sir |"
He spoke not another word, but in
stantly departed, and since that day
the form of Hannibal Hamlin, once
vice-president of the United States,
has never darkened the door of the
White House.

man, of irascible disposition and
great independence of character. On
one occasion committee from Con-

to inspect his work.
"You come to 'spect my work, eh?
Vat you know bout my work ? Vat

The gentlemen, conscious CT their

The committee did 90 back to

Gus laughter. the result of their in

When Hon. Levi Woodbury. was

Hasslar was referred to the presi-

"Six thousand dollars, SIR"
"Why, Mr. Hasslar, that is as much

President Jackson sympathizing

Hasslar's demand, and at the close
of the Sext cabinet meeting told the
joke to the great entertainment of
the gentlemen present.

scarcely turns the scale at q pound
weight In using them no more eff
fort Is required than 10 ordinary
walking. The wearer steps with bis
usual stride. and is amazed to find
himself skimming over the ground
80 rapidly with so little muscular eff.
fort. Mr.. Hobbs explains the mys-
terry OF this rapid movement in this
manner: A man whose stride is 32
inches will travel 45 inches or one
half farther with the pedomotor.
This is because the body is in rapid
motion. For instance, says he. the
traveller starts and while be raises
one foot to step he continues rapidly
onward until that foot is set down
and the other raised to mako anoth-
or step. This gives him moro mo.
mentnm and away he goes over two
miles in the same time to accom-
plish mile with the feet. No eff
fort OF the body ia required for their
use, as 10 skates. The traveller sim
ply puts one foot before the other
and finds himself whizzed along at a
lively rate.

An Income Tax.

The Arrears of Pension bill having

TO the front the question of reimpo-
sing the income tax to furnish the
means to meet tho drain upon the
National Treasury nect ssary to pay

Congress will now have to appro-
pirate the money to pay the arrears
OF pensions, and in doing so must
provide the ways and means there
for In the shape of new taxation, and
we know of no more fair, equal and
just tax than an income tax.

millions $500, 900, OOO) of personal
property, almost all of which escapes
taxation, and that this estimate does
not inclade merchandise. but simply
capital (money) from which large
incomes are derived, it is time that
the National Congress took up the
question of an income tax, so that
all kinds of property from which in
comes or profits are derived should
bear it's fair share of taxation for the
support of the government.
The laboring man cannot have q
COW, hog, or even dog. without
the tax gatherer calling for the "lit.

cannot escape taxation upon mis-
stock of goods; every man is called
upon to pay his quota of the annual
taxation of the country, excepting
only the capitalists Of New York
Boston, Philadelphia and other great
centres OF wealth, where they put
their capital (mouey) in shape
where the tax gatherer cannot r,ach
it, and the whole amount of taxa
ton they thus escape the payment
of. is levied upon others who can i'll
afford to bear the burden.
The only remedy for this great
evil is the imposition of tag that
shall reach the annual income of all
men from whatever source they de-
rive income or profit. The only
way in which such tax can be
evaded is by perjury, and II the
