Wednesday the Republicans of Ferry and
Point villages celebrated the election of Gar
field and Arthur by grand parade and torch
light procession. AT 8 o'clocks the;procession,
under command of Capt o. L. Roberts, con-
sisting of the Garfield and Arthur Guards, 60
men; Color Guard, IA boys; so men in citizens
dress, also drum corps, and headed by Col
Inns brass band formed on Monroe street.
They marched through the principal streets of
the village, thence to Point village. back to
the Ferry to Union Hall, where they partook
OF bountiful collation. prepared by the Re-
publican ladies of the two villages, after which
the band entertained the audience with some
choice selections. Everything passed off
so agreeably at the hall that we regret to be
obliged to mention anything disgraceful on
the march. The procession was twice as
saulted with stones and missiles, demolishing
six colored glass lanterns and iniuring few
transparencies Luckily no one was seriously
injured. 1t will be perceived that the young
Democracy is in the first stage of development
in this village. The Examinations at Point
village were very fine, and Ferry village was
ablaze with candles and lanterns some of the
Examinations being especially noticeable Pic
lures Of Garfield and Arthur were hung out
surrounded by flags and bunting, fireworks
were displayed at various points, the red fire
lighting up the procession with marked effect

Druidic VOyagers,

The Augusta and Gardiner papers tell of a
family who have been occupying log house
boat at Farmingdale, the head of the family
being druidic physician, DR.. James Davis by
name. They tell how the party sailed down
the Kennebec and outside Small Point, be-
tween Halfway Rock light and Ragged island
to Portland, where the inhabitants were very
much puzzled to make up their minds in re-
gard to the nativity of the new corners. Dill.
gent search has been made after this strange
craft, but no one can be found who has seen it
In this section Of the coast. The supposition
is that if the doctor and his family started for
the city they must either have stopped to rest
or have been cast away during the voyage

Jubilee Supper at Congress Square
Church.
Congress Square society last evening held a
jubilee celebration and supper at their vestry
In recognition of the payment of their church
debt. About year ago the pastor Rev. w.
e. Gibbs, personally undertook the task of
raising funds by solicitation and sub
scription, and aided by the more active mem
bers of his church he accomplished the desired
result last May, but the celebration has been
postponed until now when the evenings are
longer and the general circumstances moro
favorable.
In spite OF the storm large number of the
parish and friends assembled at the church
about p M, and while gathering listened to
fine voluntary on the organ by Mr.. Walter
Goold. About 7.30 p. m. the audience, num-
boring some 325, repaired to the vestry, where
was spread before them an elegant supper pre-.
pared by the worthy ladies of the church The
tables were very handsomely and tastefully ar
ranged. There were some twenty-five attrac-
tive young ladies and twenty-five young gen.
tlemen who served the guests. Mr.. Charles S.
Fobes called the audience to order and re-
quested all to partake of the feast, which was
done with unfeigned pleasure.
At about $50 p. m. the musical and intel
lectual exercises began and continued until 10
O'Clock, opening with Bleumenthal's "Les
Deux Anges" on the piano, finely executed by
Miss Alice Philbrook, followed by song, Gil
bert's "When Torrance comes home" sweet
ly sung by Miss Annie e. Greeley
Mr.. Fobes then remarked that they had
come to have good time because of being out
of debt, and limited that little debt even now
would not be undesirable, as it gave some-
thing to work for. OF course he reioced that
the old debt was paid, but often little debt
unites the church. He only favored it in the
way of new enterprise for the good of the
church, and only of such character as could
be promptly met. Most of the gentlemen who
spoke did not so regard the debt question.
Several sentiments were given and apprc-
priatey responded to. "Our church, /" by Rev
w. E. Gibbs; "Our Friends" by Hon. Nathan
Webb; Cur State Convention" by M. P.
Frank, Esq; "Our Workers in other Fields"

ple," by Mr.. P. II. Turner; "Our Invited
Guests" by letter from Rev. E. c. Bolles of
Salem, formerly pastor of this church, and a
church-debt parody.

Republican Rejoicing at Gorham.

The Gorham Garfield and Arthur Club cell
ebrated the recent Republican victory We'd
nesday evening in grand style. There was a
general illumination throughout the village
by the same parties, and quite as elaborate
and brilliant as on the evening of the Republi-
can demonstration in September.
The Gorham House was beautifully illumin-
mated and decorated, and lady in the front
OF the house, who personated the Goddess of
Liberty, attracted much attention and received
repeated cheers The residence of Edmond
Cannon, Esq. looked finely. Besides COM
plete illumination of his house, he arranged in
front large Transparency with these words
thereon, Intelligence Vindic ated; Let us Re-
joice.''
long procession of citizens headed by
the Gorham brass band, and escorted by the
Garfield Guards, Capt. Summersides, with
torches, marched through the streets of the
village. The ringing of bells, the booming of
cannon and the cheers of the procession in
front of the residences of Republicans made it
an occasion of good cheer and great rejoicing.
After long march through the streets the
procession occupied the capacious hall of
Joseph Redlon, which has been used as the
Republican headquarters. Here the Repub-
lican ladies had prepared bountiful and ele-
CANT hot supper. Over five hundred Republi
cans were seated and fully feasted and the &C.
casion was very enjoyable. Remarks were
made by Messis. Corthell, Waterman, Robbie
Mcclellan and others Capt Summersides, with
appropriate remarks, mustered out of service
the members of the Garfield Guards. Earnest
cheers were given as the names OF Harding,
Redlon, Hinckley and other active Republi-
cans were called. Edward Harding, ESQ.,, an
extensive and successful manufacturer of
clothing, has acted as chairman of the COM
mittee of arrangements, and to him and his
fellows, the members of the club and the Re-
publican party of Gorham are indebted for
successful final rally. At late hour, on mo-
ton, the resident adjourned the club sine die
and tomorrow the political flags OF the party
will be taken in, and will be ready for next
time.

A BUTLER INTERVIEW.
SOME VIEWS OF GEN. BUTLER ON
THE ELECTION.
What He Thinks of New York.

Yesterday noon reporter for the PRESS
hearing that the case in the United States
Court, in which Gen. B. T. Butler had been
engaged the past few days, had been contin-
ued, thus ending the present proceedings, and
leaving the General at liberty called upon him
at the court room to get his views, if possible,
on the late election in New York. Gen. Butler
was busy conversing with Messrs. A. P. Gould
and S. G. Strout, but in few moments was
prepared to talk. As the general had not
had any dinner, however, the reporter Wis
tied him at the Falmouth Hotel, and before he
left for Boston gained his views on several i'm
portant points.
In answer to question as to what, in his
opinion, caused the Republican victory in New
York, the general said:
l think the victory was due to the treachery
of Boss Kelly Early in the day he evidently
became convinced that Grace would be defeat
ed if he continued to run behind So fast He
therefore made every effort to save him, even
at the expense of III ncock trading off, if nee
essary, two votes for Garfield for one for
Grace. By this means he saved the latter, but
at the sacrifice of Hancock. Then again coun-
ties that were strongest for Tilden in 1876, fell
off heavily in their majorities this year.
What, General, do you think of the talk
about Democratic managers throwing out the
vote of New York OH the ground Of fraud?
think, said he, just as have very lately ex-
pressed myself, viz: The Republicans claim a
very great victory in New York, but the frauds
which are alleged, would, if proven, in my
Judgment. throw the vote of that state out of
the count-would change the whole result
There is no such popular majority in favor of
the Republicans that they should plume
themselves SO much as they do, upon what
they term their very great victory. 1t is not
great victory to elect majority in the
House, given to them by gerrymandering in a
couple OF states the year before, with Senate
ad 1ittedly against them, and President adj
mittedly elected by 5000 or 10000 votes thrown
away, by some cause, in single state.
What effect. General, do you think the tariff
question had on the election?
don't think that business scare had any
perceptible effect, or rather not that great
Importance many are inclined to give it. Un-
doubtedly the tariff question affected very
great many men all over the country; first, the
men who employ labor were very largely
afraid OF the effect of a change of the tariff,
and they bulldozed their employees into voting
their ticFet. In New Jersey this plan didn't
work SO well because the manufactures are
carried on by small Individual manufacture
ers, while in New York they are great corpora
tions, employing numbers of men who cannot
be so independent.
AT this moment thesGeneral had to leave as
1t was five minutes of three and his baggage
was already on the carriage.

OF course, the central figure. and deservedly
obtained the recognition of the large audience
present. His sharp-shooting was excellent
and his acting was vigorous and natural. Some
OF the points he made last night were very eff

he has wonderfully improved as an actor. He
has selected for his company artists who are
