feeble and had to be assisted up the steps.
She trembled like leaf as she rested on the
arm of officer Ingalls,. Mrs. Could on the
contrary, appeared self-possessed, as if she
were laboring under false accusation. A
brief preliminary consultation between coun-
sci. clients and court, resulted IN the bail
fixed by Major Jones being affirmed,
viz, S20, 900 in the case of Mrs. Howe. and.
in the case of Mrs. Gould, $4,000. 1t is
understood that this is in consequence of an
agreement between the government and the
defence, whereby the latter consented to
waive examination and allow the cases to 90

To the Business Men Of Maine.

While our brethren in Ohio and Indiana
have the credit of having contributed largely
to the republican victory in those Statea, and
while to-day the business men of New York.
New Jersey and Connecticut are moving as
never before, to save our industries from an
impending calamity. are not we here in Maine
little behind our duty upon these important
questions? Most assuredly, what is the cor
rect thing for business men in the States 1
have named, is also correct for US. and for
one, hope before this week closes, there
will be an organization of business men in
every town and city of this State in the in
terest of the election of Gen Garfield to the
| Presidency.
| The democratic party cannot present one
claim entitling it to clamor for a change.
In everything, as compared with 1850, when
that party was in power, and opposed to a
change, to-day under republican rule the
country is vastly better off, and democracy
demands change. They have advocated no
one thing for twenty-five years that would
have been beneficial to the business interests
of the country: but they have advocated
many things, which. if they had been carried
into operation, would have been ruinous to
tie country.
| Every measure put forth by the republican
party, which would be beneficial to all our
industries, has been strenuously opposed by
the democratic party. When we had four
| = 4 Al -
human beings upon the auction block, as we
now sell cattle; when the bonds of the United
| States sold for only 50 cts. on the dollar
when our imports exceeded our exports
when labor was poorly paid; when our bust
ness industries were in panic; when civil
war was hanging over the land, just ready to
cngulf us in blood, and a democratic presi-
,ient sat in the chair at the White House,
saying there was no power in the constitution
to stop the flowing of blood. the democratic
party was opposed to change. Now, in
1880, when there is not slave in all the
land when no man can sell human flesh and
blood under sanction of local law; when oul
bonds sell in the markets of the world fol
10 per cent; when our laboring people are
well paid: when our exports largely exceed
our imports when all our business industries
are prospecting and booming; the democratic
party, not satisfied with this prosperity, moi
pleased with this wonderful transition from
civil war, human bondage, business depres
sion and financial ruin, to peace, liberty
good times and financial success, at HON,
and abroad, now loudly clamor, bray ant
shout for a change. Let us see to it that the,
do not get it this year. Business men, rally

Prof Chadbourne of Massachusetts, in
speech made at Athens, Ohio, Oct. LIST, made
the following statement, which appeared in
the papers of Ohio. Being an owner In two
cotton mills, he stated that he had made the
following proposition to his democratic part
ner: s.That they would have an appraisal
made of the property at its present cash value,
and if Gen. Garfield was elected he would
purchase his partners interest at 10 per cent.
advance, but if Gen. Hancock was elected he
would sell his interest at 10 per cent. dis
count" The Professor further stated that
theirs was not a business likely to be as
much affected by the changeof administration
as many others, vet he would give bonds TO
to carry out the above agreement. and would
pay large bonus for the chance to enter
such an agreement either way. Straws tell,
