An informal meeting of the bondholders of

who were present are residents Of Boston and
vicinity. The financial condition # the
to S236, 900, andas now arranged is payable as
follows: Sl0.25 each year from 1880 to
1884, inclusive: Sl4. $50 in 1886; $40, 250

making the total debt S26l .S4l.5l. The
proposition of the town, to pay 80 cents on
Sl-paymeEt to be made in municipal bonds
of the town in lieu of the bonds now held
the bonds to pay per cent. interest, and the
interest to be paid annually or sem-annually
was discussed at the meeting and con-
sidered at considerable length, and the pre-
vailing sentiment seemed to be that the prop
osition of the town should be accepted, and
that measures ought to be taken TO insure
concert of action in the matter on the part of
all the creditors. Joseph Tucker, a former
town treasurer of the town, was present at
the meeting, and he and another Maine
party, who was present at the meeting, are
to see that the official authorities Of Wiscas-
set also take whatever action may be neces-
sary on their part to bring about the prompt
adjustment of the towns affairss

Furthermore, Crowell voted split ticket
part of it included greenback and part re.

''Hiram Coy of Gardiner. is ready to swear
that republican offered him SIS, to vote as
he wanted him to-" If this is so, Hiram's
market value rose amazingly after the effort
he made TO sell his rofe to republican for
81. This is the truth, and can be substan-
tated on oath. As regards the names inn
mediately following Hiram's notice-Howard
Norton, Sam Norton, Fred Norton, John Po-
land, William Hanson, Alexander Hanson
and Henry Tyler-which one would suppose
referred to citizens of Gardiner. Mr.. Wads-
worth, the city clerk will certify that no such
names appear on the voting list of the city.
If the sole effort of these statements was to
prove the character of either Mr.. Goodepeed
or the Globe, they would be unnecessary; for
any one who is acquainted with the gentle
man, would readily say, without the use of
affidavits, that the accusations are inconsis-
tent with the man, and no one surely would
require afiidavits to establish the falsity of
any political statement in the Globe. Its
character was too well established when it
was an organ for Ben Butler, and since it has
stopped even lower, to- associate with Pills
bury, who can be so obtuse as to question its
morality? Yet, amidst all these broad and
general statements which that paper has
made. it has here. and there located = few
specific cases Of fraud, but the prompt and
emphatic manner in which these statements
have been met and refuted, show the weak
ness of the Pllsbury-Globe plan. For this
reason it is pleasure to nail one more false
hood of these minions, and show that the re-
puted author of these stories refuses to father
them.
If the Globe correspondent intends to give
US more in due season, as he says, our only
advice is that it may be na9afactured out OF
more substantial substance.

| Baker a. Bakers Letter TO Chief JUS
tice Appleton-Pr Proceedings Before the
Supreme Court Postponed to Dec. I'D.
The following order of the Governor and
Council of Maine was made public Saturday
| Ordered. That the Secretary give public
notice that the Governor and Council will he
| in session from Dec. LIST to the 18th. for the
| purpose of examining the returns of votes

have reasonable opportunity to be heard
either personally or by duly authorized coun-
sci.
Immediately after the PRONUNCIATION of this
order Messrs. Baker & Baker, counsel for
Senators and Representatives elect, addressed
the following letter to Chief Justice Appleton /:
AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. %, 1879.
Hon. John appleton, Chief Justice Supreme
Court Of Maine:
Since you issued notices on the petitions
for mandamus to show cause why Senators
and Representatives elect should not be al
lowed to examine the official returns of their
elections, and since the Associate Justices
of the court have unanimously consented to
meet with you at Augusta on Tuesday next,
to hear those petitions, we are informed that
the Governor and Council have passed the
enclosed order.
tits the undeniable right of our clients under
the laws of the State to examine the election
returns to-day, as it has been every day since
the Governor and Council declared by formal
order that the returns were open, and then
persistently refused to exhibit them. Our eli
ents will moreover insist at the proper time
that the twenty days assured them by law for
application for correction of returns, shall
not begin to run against them until the re-
turns are actually and practically open to their
examination.
But assuming that the enclosed order Of the
council thus publicly issued will be carried
out in good faith by affording our clients full
opportunity to examine the returns on and af-
ter Dec. LIST, we do not deem it our duty to
press hearing on the petitions on the day or
dered. but will make them returnable at the
December term of your court for the county
of Oxford, which begins Tuesday, December
I'd, 1879, as that is the earliest term of the
court that will be in session in the State, and
respectfully ask a new order of notice, re-
turnable accordingly.
Respectfully yours,

IF between sixty and seventy at
tendance at the Republican County
Convention on last Saturday, a be
termed a large turn out in this coun-
ty, then it was large. The President
and assistant secretary added much
to its largeness! 1t was rather tame
and spiritless too. Nobody wanted
to address it. One of our ministers
even went back on it. The portly
pedagosue shook his CORY locks,
may" when called upon to explode.
Col. Harris left the room rather than
tackle the questions at issue. I. E.
Freeman was finally induced to say
something about the minister who
wouldn't declaim, the Devil snd the
Republican party, in which he finally
brought the Devil out ahead about
twenty laps and sit down much ex-
hausted. Robt. Miller had only one
crank wound up, and that was howl
against the Democrats for turning
Republicans out of places and
putting Democrats in. It is sad.
The voters will surely indsgnate
against such internal wickedness.
They certainly will not tolerate it.
How can they? 1t is impossible?
The country will go to the Devil if
they do! Nobody but Republicans
should hold offices. They never
steal anything! They are all honest!
They wouldn't stuff a ballot box!
They never intimidate votersi They
don't bull-doze any one! They love
the soldier and are endeared to the
negro! Why shouldn't they hold all
the Offices forever? Mr.. Miller is
satisfied they belong to the Republi-
can party, and if the people will not
vote them to the party, it is a chris
tian duty to steal them! That is
"loilty" to the country! After steal.
ing them, then pirate about defend
ing the purity of the ballot-box, is
Republican honesty! Shame on
such brazen efrontery. Do these
fellows think all their hearers are
party blind?
