Obadiah nm .Tafferson

Mr. EDITOR: see by Thursdays Argus that
Obadiah, the ancient, has turned up again, and
like Mrs. Pardiggle in Bleak House, has thrust
under our nose Gnstead of tracD Jefferson.
1t is wonderful to what uses this old veteran
puts the sage of Monticello. He makes his
opinion upon public matters as elastic as .
rubber ball. Let the subject be what it will
out Obadiah whisks Jefferson's works and
proves that this "Good Father of Democracy"
was an ardent exponent of the principle and
its ardent advocate. A few months since
Obadiah proved that Jefferson believed in the
power of the general government to issue treas
ury notes enough to meet the demands OF busi-
ness Only think of Jefferson believing the
government ought to go into the banking busi-
ness
Now he has discovered that Jefferson was the
ardent friend of such rascalities as Garcelon,
Chase and Fogg committed in this State. We
shall hear next that Jefferson was in favor of
asking Congress to interfere in the local affairs
of States 1 demur at this abuse of the de-
parted statesman. L say to Obadiah that no
body believes Jefferson was Greenbacker.
Nobody believes he ever dreamed that eight
such men as Garcelon, Chase, Fogg and COM
pany could be found in Office in any one State.
No, Jefferson believed that the majority should
The fact is the old fellow should quote Pills
bury's works in favor of the steal, and not from
that of man who never had while living
feeling in common with anything like the
thieving Democracy of this State.

LOYAL League of Portland,

The association recently formed in this city
is rapidly increasing its membership and very
many of the best Republicans Of Portland are
among its members. The League, now tenn
porarily located, will, in few days, complete
arrangements for permanent quarters, and the
prospect for the organization is very fattering.
The following letter from the Hon. N. Webb
will be read with regreu by its members.
PORTLAND, Feb'y 6, 1880.
Nm Z. Small, Secty., Portland:
Dear Sir,-I have to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter informing me that the
Loyal League of Portland have elected me as
president, and asking my acceptance OF that
position.
While fully sympathizing with what 1 un-
derstand to be the objects proposed by your Or
ganzation, am compelled to decline the hon
or of being its president
. The prosperity of such an association, and
the successful accomplishment of the ends it
aims at, require of its officers more constant
attendance at its meetings. and more active
participation in its action than it will be possi-
BILE for me 20 give.
Very truly yours,
NATHAN WEBB.

CORPORATION BONDS.
The Legality Of those Issued by the
Pennington Village Corporation Prob
ably to be Tested in the U. S. Court

Tn accordance with call issued by num-
her of the holders of bonds issued by what is
known as the Harrington Village Corpora
tion," meeting was held in Arcade Hall,
Pennington, on Thursday last to take such
measures as the spirit of the meeting might
suggest in regard to prosecuting suit for the
payment of these bonds. There were present
at the meeting gentlemen representing some
$4,000 of the bonds, and the opinion was
generally expressed that legal measures should
be at once taken to secure the Just rights ana
dues of the bondholders. These bonds were
issued some ten years ago, to aid IN the eAten-
sion of the Androscoggin railroad from west
Pennington to its present terminus IN the
village proper. Soon after their lssue' now
ever, an injunction was obtained and served
upon the Treasurer Of the corporation TO pre-
vent his paying the interest upon these ponos'
on the ground Of their illegality, and since
that time nothing has been paid out upon
them and no steps towards payment at any
time taken.
At the meeting committee was chosen ana
Walter Nichols, Esq, acting under thelr in'
structions wrote to Hon. w. w. Virgin OF tins
city yesterday requesting him to name a Gay
when the committee could confer with him up
on the feasibility of suit in the United states
courts. A consultation will probably be heio
early next week. Judge Virgin, uid ne
advise prosecution, will undoubtedly be re-
tanned as counsel by the bondholders.
Quite an amount of these bonds are heid oy
business men in this city, among the holoeri
being Mes,rs Allen & Co., II. M. Howes' "
Fl. Bangs and others.

The Calais Times says: Notwithstanding
the thousands of deer that have been recklessly
killed the past few winters, their numbers seem
to be undiminished at the head-waters. The
annual slaughter for this year has commenced
and promises to be greater than ever, although
venison at this season is almost worthless The
attempts to enforce the game laws are weak
and in most cases abortive; and all interested
in the protection of deer can only listen to the
reports of their slaughter with indignation and
disgust, feeling powerless to prevent it to any
great extent"

that yesterday morning there were traces of
