The Thomas Amir.

The ThOmas Amir.
The sad ARRAY between Augustus and
Charles Thomas was the common topic Of
conversation in all sections Of the city Sat
urday, and frequent inquiries were made as
TO their condition. 1t was rumored on the
streets that Charles had died but there was
no foundation for such a report, as both of
the men are doing we'll. 1t is said that the
quarrel began in the first place over the pos
session of q single block of wood but better
authority would have it that there were pecu-
mary troubles between them, that one Of
them holds mortgage upon the place of the
other, and that on or about the day the meet
ing which terminated in so bloody a manner
occurred payment fell due. But be this as
it may it is to be hoped that hereafter each
will give the other respectful distance, and
that the community will not be called upon
again to hear the recital of so disgraceful and
bloody q quarrel between men, least Of all

WASHINGTON, October II. The republi-

land, but do not expect to elect their State
ticket. The party is in better condition than
it has been for years, being united and work

George william Curtis Resigns.
NEW YORK, October IL. George William
Curtis has resigned the craftsmanship of the
Richmond County republican convention.
His letter sets forth his position and views
with regard to the republican party. He was
sorry to learn that certain articles appearing in
IIarper's Weekly had created such a feeling
among the republicans throughout the State.
He thought every true republican should be
governed by his own conscience, and as to
himself he would vote for the Devil if he was
at the head of the ticket, if his conscience
taught him to do so. Mr.. Curtis closed by
rendering his resignation as chairman of the
convention. After stormy scene his resig
nation was accepted and David w. Judd
was elected to fill the vacancy.

Arrest OF . Burglar, and Some OF HI
0neratlnns.

arrest OF burglar, ana some OF His
Operations.
For several months burglaries have been
of common occurrence in certain section of
the county, and, not without reason, the
people began to be thoroughly aroused over
the matter. On the night of the 25th of July,
the store of Mr.. Cram of Mt. Vernon was en-
tered and seventy dollars in money, and quite
an amount of goods were taken. On the
same night and in the same quiet village, the
store of Hon. Moses s. Mayhem was broken
into and burglarized of some Of its contents.
September 10Th the stores of Geo. Mantor
ane Postmaster johnson, at Readfield, were
entered during the night and relieved of some
of their contents. A few nights later the
place of Morrill, & Gordon, at Readfeld
corner, was broken into, and on October 9th
the store occupied by Mr. Caswell and owned
by Daniel Craig was robbed and burned.
These depredatiors being brought to the
notice of Deputy Sheriff Soule of Winthrop
he set about the matter of fcrretng out the
criminal or criminals, and on Saturday saw
fit to make the arrest of Joseph Estes, at a
place this side of Readfeld Corner. Part of
the goods found in his possession have been
recognized As belonging to some of the bur
glarized stores. Estes is not spoken very
highly of, and in fact his record is not an en-
viable one. The officer who has followed up
this matter certainly deserves credit for his
success
Estes had a hearing at Readfield, Saturday,
before Trial Justice Whittier. and was bound
over for his appearance at the December term
of the Superior Court. One thousand dollars
bail was required, and being unable to obtain
it, the prisoner was brought to Augusta, and

Unjustly Accused. z

There are good many democrats who,
when the candidacy of Tilden is mention
ed, commence TO abuse him. claiming that
he should have insisted on his right to the
Office at the time he was elected. Now
while The ARGUS does not believe that
the democratic party owes Mr.. Tilden
denomination, but rather owes duty to
itself, to the people, to the country to
clearly comprehend and make plain the
Hamitonian tendencies Of the republican
party aud TO as clearly define its own posi-
ton against these centralizing tendencies,
and to select as standard bearer her
best man, be he Tilden or some other man,
TIE ARGUS does not believe IN this I'M
just accusation of Tilden. During the
scenes that followed the election of 1876
did not you in common with TIE ARGUS
compliment the temperate, dignifed land
patriotic course of Mr.. Tlden? Did we
not rest easy in the confidence that dem
ocratic majority in congress would not
permit fraud2 Who then thought OF
the base conspiracy that was later carried
out under the electoral commission law.
No, no,Igentlemen, be consistent. We take
the broader grounds and believe the dem
ocratic party owes no man "a nomlna-
ton because he has been cheated
out the fruits of an honest VIC
tory. 1t was not Mr.. Tllden
who was wronged by the great fraud Of
1861. The democratic party was cheated
out of victofy-not Mr.. Tilden. 1t was
the American republic that was wroDged,
not Mr.. Tilden, What is he to the dem
ocratic party. or the democratic party to
him2 Nothing. What the democratic
party-what the American people must
do. is to fight over again the same ground
that was fought in this country century
ago. It's duty is to maintain a govern
ment which shall be neither a central
despotic power, nor loose and weak asso-
citation of communities, with no power at
all as a whole. There is this difference
now that those who are contending for q
strong central power are not doing SO
from principle, as was done by Alexander
Hamilton and his Federalistc followers,
but for the purpose of crushing out al
laws and principles of justice and equality
