10 Kansas and Indiana, are lying in the
New York Custom House with duties uIl-
paid. Bills to remit the duties have been
introduced into both branches of Congress.
The Senate bill was opposed by Voorhees,
Friday, because the people concerned are
only a 'parcel Of niggers", as the Indiana
Senator expressed it. The old virulent
not departed from his breast.

THE editor of the Okolona States has been
interviewed by travelling newspaper corre
spondent who told him that the Northern
Democracy repudiated his wild utterances.
To that he replied: ''Repudiates Inc? Bah!
How can it repudiate me without repudiat-
ing its history, without repudiating its prin-
ciples as well? :. Why do they SYM
pathize with us, vote with us and sustain us
in the face of the fact that we nullify your
accursed amendments, and thereby make

Maine Mines.

To the Editor of the Press:
think your paper would confer great
good upon the whole community if it could
give some trustworthy information in regard
to the mines of Maine. The impression made
upon the mind of the writer by constant peru
sal of the mining-news columns of a leading
commercial newspaper of Boston is that they
are, without exception, in a prosperous and
very promising condition. Will investigation
confirm this impression? or am l, like many
others delnded by the loaded columns of
that highly respectable commercIaI authority.
The above communication coming from
an eminently respectable source, is well wor
thy consider ation The great difficulty of
securing absolutely reliable information
respecting any mining operation has led the
PRESS to proceed very cautiously in. all mat
ters of comment on the business, for if
there be fair or evena possible chance of the
development of an industry in Maine which
shall be useful and profitable to our State it
is the duty of us all to encourage it or at
least not to discourage it. At the same time
it should be remembered that under the
most favorable circumstances, probably not
more than one in twenty of the mines
Upclcu VIII SNSi pS NolhCQ
people ought not to invest money wildly in
them under influence of the excitement
which seems inseparable from the mining
business. The suggestion of our cores
pondent respecting the use of the news
columns of a Boston paper to work up an
excitement about Maine mines touches sub
ject which has given rise to much surprise
and comment 1t is not difficult for a
thoughtful and observing reader to set a
proper value on information from that
source. We may have occasion hereafter to
trea somewhat more at large of this subject
but the present purpose is merely to utter a
word of warning against too great enthusi-
asm about enterprises which at the very
| best are doubtful.
THE Bangor Commercial complains that

The Camden Herald has contributor
who writes in verse. His latest 'piece of
poetry opens in this agonizing way:
o, can it be that men of God are bribed and led
away
From holy precepts which they taught, in wicked
paths to stray;
o, it be that men of God, born of heavenly
birth,
Have fallen from their humble sphere to make a
hell ON earth.

The Mayor.

In again presenting William Senter as
their candidate for mayor the Republicans
of Portland feel that they are supporting a
candidate qualified for the position for which
he is nominated, and deserving of the hearty
support of every member of the political
organization which puts him before our
citizens. Mr.. Senters high character, strict
integrity, successful business career, and
intimate association with the material inter
ests of the city should commend him to the
favorable consideration of all voters; and
certainly his candidacy should command
the earnest support of Republicans. The
support given him ought to be, if made COM
mensurate with his merits and the impor-
tance of the issue he represents, the largest
ever given to a Republican nominee in Port
land. BY proper effort it can be made so.

THE BLACK LIST.

Here is the list In black letters of the men
who, by an unhappy accident being in
important official positions, deliberately
abused their trust, perverted the laws which
1t was their sworn duty to execute Justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and who not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but smirched the
fair fame Of the State whose officials they
unfortunately were. Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
may receive the just punishment of being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly of being wicked.
To this list is appended the names of such
other men as have taken Offices to which
they knew they were not elected, and who
become equally guilty by taking advantage
of the vile conduct Of the original malefac-
tors:
