The Piscataquis Slate Controversy.

Mr.. David r. Straw of Guilford went to
Boston on business Thursday, and while there
was arrested on a writ in favor of VIM. j.
Sutherland, who CT inns damages in the sum
of $4,000 for an alleged conspiracy ON the
part of Straw and others to injure the repata-
ton of Sutherland in consequence Of which
he (Sutherland) sustained serious losses in a
slate enterprise in which he was interested in
Maine. Mr.. Straw was committed to Jail, fail
ing to procure bail in the sum of $40 900 equal
to the amount of the dddannuna) and yester-
day morning he was brought before Judge
Lord on hobeas corpus, for the purpose of
having the bail reduced. At the preliminary
hearing it appeared that Sutherland had prev
iously brought a suit against Mr.. Straw in this
State for $15O,00O and Judge Fox fixed the
bond at $1,000, and that just before eommenc-
ing a suit in Massachusetts Sutherland had
discontinued mis- Maine snit. In view of this
Judge Lord was doubtful if Mr., Straw should
be required to furnish any bail, and reserved
his decision till to-day. In the meantime Mr.
Straw is at liberty, having given recogni-
zance in the sum of $1,000 to be present to-day

State Reform School.

DIR. George A. Lewis, a member of the pres
emit House of Representatives from Spring
field, gave very interesting and profitable
lecture to the boys of this institution on tenn
perance Thursday evening last A large per
cent of the boys of the school can truly say
that strong drink has destroyed the happiness
OF their homes and consequently they have
been obliged, through their hayward habits to
find home in an institution of this character.
Frequently during the Doctors remarks the
boys were moved to tears and at the conclu-
sion of his lecture he urged them to repay
him for his efforts by promising him never to
use intoxicating liquors in any FORM In re-
spouse to the speakers earnest request, the
entire school, numbering one hundred and
twenty-eight boys, pledged themselves against
the use of strong drink

Mrs. Hunts Lecture.

Philanthropists and reformers have for SO
many years agitated the subject of temper
ance that we sometimes wonder how there can
be anything new under the sum- to say upon
this topic. The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union think that at last the best solution
of the problem has been reached and that in
this question science and religion must work
hand in hand and thus free the country from
the crime and misery that incompetence has
caused. 1t is announced that tonight in Re-
ception Hall, Miss Mary H. Hunt of Boston
will lecture under the auspices of the w. C
I. q. of Portland, ON scientific temperance ed
ucation. This new phase of the subject and
one that implies so much for the rising genera
ton should command the serious consideration
of all. 1t will be seen by the religious notices
for Sunday that Mrs. Hunt, who lectures to-
night at Reception Hall, will by invitation
speak in Chestnut street church Sunday after
noon and Congress street NJ E. in the evening.
Woman's work in the temperance cause will
be her subject

exhilaration, lightness, increase of muscular

the same testimony. In fact, every one who

The Readiuster Spirit.

The well-knoWn "Chasseur writes
from Richmond to the Alexandria Gazette
as follows:
"Suppose." l asked some Readiusting
leaders. "that the National Democratic
Committee OF America, with Senator Wal
lace as chairman, should call meeting to
decide whether the Funder or Readjuster
electoral ticket was acceptable to the DEM
ocrats Of the Union. would you submit to
their decision ?"
"No," they said; ave don't acknow-
ledge the authority OF the United States
Democratic Committee"
"whose authority do you submit tor"
/ naturally inquired.
"To no ones. We don't consider our
selves bound by anything or anybody"
Now, all rieht.minded, thoughtful men
can draw moral from this. The Reid
justing party OF Virginia are worse than
Tammany OF New York. They refuse to
make any compromise with the opposing
wing OF the Conservative party.
The Funders can do no more. They are
in the right their olive branch has been
cast aside; their overtures contemptuouslv
rejected. and the ReSdiusters, spurning all
aid from the Democracy, aud recognizing
no authority Of any party whatsoever, have
decided to "gang their ain gait"
Looking at the matter calmly aud coolly,
without partisan bias, / think that in uniting
State issues with national issues the Re-
adjusters have committed political suicide.
"Chasseur" is cOol-headed man. He
does not allow bis feelings to run away
with his judgment. What he says OF the
Readjuster spirit and intentions is worthy
- 10 80 hn 20
OF the Readjuster party.
The Readiusters are boilers from the
regular organization OF the Democratic par
~. The Convention which assembled here
in May represents the regular Democratic
organization. That Convention sent dele
gates to Cincinnati and framed the regular
Democratic electoral ticket. The delegates
were bonored with places OF dignity in the
Cincinnati Convention, and thus the State
Convention and the party that sent them
were recognized as the regular Democratic
Convention and the regular Democratic
party OF Virginia. Since their return home
the delegates have been acknowledged by
General HANCOCK himself, 10 letter to Ma.

Now, we would like TO ask those persons

The Virginia Difficulty.

We admit ourselves out OF patience with
the Democracy Of Virginia. We can see no
excuse for the insensste folly which they are
displaying.
What right have they, possessing ma
jority OF 10000 in the State. TO turn It's ele-
ven electoral votes oyef 10 Garfield and the
Republican organization:
They are all for Hancock and English.
The Conservative electors and the Read
ulster electors are instructed TO vote for the
Democratic ticket, If chosen. Upon the
only important point In controversy they
are all agreed. And yet, TO crafty the fool
whms of some blatant leaders, they are CO.
ing to allow their candidate 10 lose the State
when it is in their power to give it to him.
The Conservatives and Readiusters, as
they respectively affect to be called. are
divided upon purely local issues. The for
mer-and they are in the right-believe in
paving the States debt. The latter-and
they are in the wrong-believe in repudi-
ating most OF it. But what has all that
to do with the presidential contest? Are
the conflicting principles OF the factions to
be carried out by the nomination OF two
sets OF presidential electors, each to vote, if
endorsed at the polls, for the same man?
There is but one course TO pursue in the
emergency, and steps in that direction must
be taken at once. The two Democratic
electoral tickets must be withdrawn, and
one to be made up from them substituted.
The leaders OF the Conservative and Read
iuster wings OF the party can arrange a
com promise in an hours sitting, and so end
the difficulty. II this Is not done II will be
the business OF the Democratic National
Committee 10 interfere in the name OF that
common sense which seems TO have desert
ed the minds OF the local magnates.
| We do not consider the possibility OF one
or the other OF the Hancock tickets win
ming in triangular electoral contest. al.
though it is quite probable that such would
be the case. The central idea is that we
want no such dsgraceful spectacle in ouI
campaign as two Hancock Democratic tick
cts running in the same State.
The party can easily afford to lose Vir
ginia. 1t does not particularly need tn,
State, for we shall have $50 electoral votes
enough and to spare, without hers. Bu
Virginia is stalwartly Democratic, and Il
allow it to be otherwise is TO put reproaci
