The Newest Religion.

Last week the New Religion said of Gar
field that he is "a man suspected of the
most dishonorable transactions, nay more.
proved guilty of them by Congressional
Committee and the PRESS thereupon ac-
cused the Norway mi-occasionally y-relg-
ious weekly of bearing false witness against
its neighbor. This week the New Religion
eyades the accusation-it does not attempt
areply-and quotes from the utterances of
some Republican papers in 1873 Its silence
is virtually withdrawal of the charge made
that General Garfield was proved guilty of
the most dishonorable transactions by a
Congressional committee.
But silence is not enough. In this case it
is suppression of the truth-a deed some
times as malicious and wicked as the bear
ing of false witness. The only Congression-
al Committee ever called to sit in Judgment
upon General Garfield or his acts was the
famous Poland Committee which investi-
gated the Credit Mobilier. That committee,
made up of two Democrats, two Republicans,
and one Greeley Liberal, unanimously pre-
sented after careful investigation and full
hearing OF testimony, a report which recon-
mended the expulsion of two members of the
House of Representatives, and said in regard
to six members who had been accused of
wrong-doing in connection with the Credit
Mobilier:
The committee do not find that either of the
above named gentlemen, in contracting with
MI Ames, had any corrupt motive or purpose
or was aware that Mr.. Ames had any; nor did
either of them suppose that he was guilty of
any lmpropriety or even indelcacy in becom-
ing purchaser of this stock. The committee
have not been able to find that any of these
members OF Congress have been affected in
their official action in consequence of their in
terest In Credit Mobilier stock. The commit
tee lind nothing in the conduct of either of
these members in taking this stock that calls
for any recommendation by the committee.
That is the verdict of the Poland committee.
One of the six members acquitted by the
verdict is General Garfield. That is the
Committee, instead of "proving him guilty
OF the most dishonorable tr ransactions," un-
animously report that he was not guilty. This
verdict the New Religion, in common with
other Democratic papers, deliberately sup
presses. 1t makes the assertion that he was
accused OF corrupt practices bJ the commit
tee, but persstently refuses to publish the
verdict of acquit'al. This suppression of
the truth in order to aid SANDER is bad
thing for the secular press to do. What it
should be called when done by professedly
religious paper we leave to our readers and
to the readers of the New Religion to deter
mine.

New YORK Tribune: The Democratic
brag, when you come to analyze it, has no
thing behind it. The "union and harmony
they talk so much about does not exist. 1t
is what they hope for, not what actually is.
They have not got it yet, and if they ever do
get it it is far from being so formidable as
they would make it appear. For they have
been beaten before when they were in per-
feet accord and presented solid front; and
beaten, too, when the Republicans were
dissatisfied and divided, which they are not
now, for the party has not been so absolute
ly harmonious and enthusiastic for the cause
and the ticket since 1868.

The Corporal was in town couple of
days during commencement exercises, but as
has been the usual custom with the Govern
ors of our State, did not march at the head of
the procession, or sit at the right hand of the
President at the commencement dinner, but
spent his time loaiing at his boarding house.
Reason-was not invited; probably because he
got the President in bad fix last year
Brunswick Correspondent of the Argus.
The facts are, Governor Davis was in
vited to attend the commencement at Bruns-
wick but had previously made an engage
ment with Prof. Rounds of the State Nor
NAL School to attend the graduating exer-
cises of that school, and as he is an ex-officio
Trustee of Normal schools, he felt it his
duty to forego the pleasure of attending
Bowdoin exercises. Gov. Davis was in
Brunswick Wednesday ON his way to Farm
ington, from y O'Clock a. m. until 2 p. M,

WHAT a pity the Maine Democrats were
not as courteous as the members of their
National Committee. While at Bangor
they should have sent an ambassador to
Garcelon bearing this message: In refus-
ing to allow your name to so before the
State Convention you have taken from the
people the privilege of electing you second
time to the Governorship and of vindicating
in your person the crime committed upon
the constitution by a conspiracy founded
upon force and fraud in refusing to give eff
feet to the voice of the people in calling you
in 1870 to execute the high trust of Govern
or of the State of Maine.' That would
have been as truthful as the address made
to Tilden.
