Magazine Notices.

Appleton's Journal for March opens with
the first installment of novelette, from the
French, entitled, The Return of the Princess,
which gives some striking inside views of ha-
rem-life at Cairo. The Duke of Argyll's sec.
ond and concluding paper, First Impressions
of the New World, is given. There is most
interesting article ON Russian Nihilism;
a very striking satirical essay, under the title
of Turkish Effendi on Christendom and Is
LAM biographical essay on Theophile Gau
tier; and two papers, respectively designated
Flesh Color, and Life at High Pressure, which
embody numerous anecdotes and some telling
hits az social follies. The freshest feature of
the number is a group of three poems, trans
lated from the French poet, Francois Coppee,
accompanied with an Introductory note.
These poems are intensely dramatic and in
their way, very notable. Ole, called the Ben
ediction, made great hit in France when it
was first published. 1t describes thrilling
incident in the seige of Saragossa-of priest,
who with the fatal bullet in his breast, fn-
ished with his dying breath the benediction
which closes the mass, with the murderers
grouped before him. The editor discusses cur

The LOYAL League.

The New Era-Leader, with characteristic
unveracity, says that there exists in the city
of Portland secret, oath-bound order, most
ly made up of Republicans, and having for
its objects the restriction of suffrage and the
establishment of a monarchical form of gov
ernment; and it intimates that the LOYAL
League of Portland is that order. There is
not word of truth in the statement of the
Era. No order of the kind described exists
among the Republicans of this city or else
where. The Loyal League is neither oath
bound or secret in its workings. tits organ
ized like any other political club, its declara-
tion of principles is openly made, and the
objects of its existence were proclaimed in
the public prints at the start. No grips nor
passwords are required to gain admittance
to its meetings, no oaths need be taken nor
ritual gone through with to secure a place on
its roll of membership.
The Era asks if the PRESS will tell ''exact-
ly what the Loyal League of Portland is
driving at" With pleasure. The statement
of its purposes was published by us some
weeks ago, but We willingly republish it for
the benefit of the Era. Here 1t is:
Whereas, Agreat national contest Is impend-
ing, involving some of the most important
questions ever brought before the American
people; and
Whereas, In our own State of Maine after a
full. free and fair canvass and election, an at
tempt has been made to subvert the will of the
people and strike deathhlow at our Republi-
can form OF government, by robbing the people
of their Legislature, by detying and overriding
the Judgment of our Supreme Judicial Tribu-
nal and by determined and persistent at
tempt to overawe the law-respecting and law
abiding citizens of this State; therefore
Resolved, That we, citizens of Portland, do
organize and join ourselves together under the
name, The Loyal League of Portland, for the
purpose:
/. Of supporting and maintaining by moral,
social and political influences the principles of
republican governments government Of the
people, by the people and for the people, and
exercising every proper means in public and
private, for the maintenance of the political
faith of our fathers.
2. Of resisting and exposing corruption and
promoting reform in our national, State and
municipal affairs, and striving to elevate the
idea OF American citizenship.
Resotred, That the condition of membership
shall be absolute and unqualified loyalty to re-
publican government and fealty to the princl-
pies OF the Republican party.
The meeting at which this declaration of
principles was adopted adjourned subject to
the call of the Secretary, and not to await
the mysterious coming of the following ci-
pher, which calls to eonclave the circles of
the secret, oath-bound organization of which

LEWISTON Journal: BRICK Pomeroy is
pretty courageous man, caring little for
public opinion, but heis not willing to rest
under the imputation that he is responsible
for the acts of the Fusionists in Maine. He
says the secret organization with which his
name is associated in the popular mind is
the creation of men of the stamp of Kearney,
Blanton Duncan, and Congressman De La
Matyr, ,ho wish to escape the discredit
which rightly belongs to it. 1t is gratifying
to know that Pomeroy is not wholly incap-
able of feeling shame, but it is not pleasant
to know that there is political organza-
tion of so discreditable character that he is
ashamed to have his name connected with

Votes in the Loyal League are taken after
the usual manner of deliberative assemblies
and not by ''bringing the fist to the shoulder
by bending the elbow" as in the secret So
ciety that the Era so zealously champions.
Members of the Loyal League recognize
each other, as people usually recognize each
other, by sight, and do not go through the
following mystic formula:
II 1, a member of the 3. p. L., desire to
learn If you are also a member, after getting
your eye. make this motion Ia placing of the
left hand to the throat in an Indifferent man.
ner that, unless looked for, would easily escape
observatory with the left hand, as much as to
say, the industries of the country are choked,
and L endeavor to relieve them.
You being a member also, recognize the
meaning of the sign and reply thus (raising the
right hand and bending the elbow and when
the hand to form fs0 with the right hand
signifying that they shall be relieved by the
ballot backed by the strong right arm.
In using words of recognition the
challenging party says ~ =;
Der of the B. P L. replies when
the challenger finishes the sentence fby saying
the import of which needs no ex-
PLANTATION to any who are liable to find their
way into this order.
In brief, the Loyal League is political
club having for its object the furtherance of
certain declared principles, open to all men
who support those principles, and working
in the light. 1t is not secret, oath-bound
organic ton, working in the dark, rigorous
ly restricted in membership, governed by
fantastic ritual, meeting in closely-guarded
conclave, and providing for recognition by
means of signs, and gripsand passwords.
The Era regrets that it has no money to
purchase the secrets of the Loyal League.
There are none to purchase. The Republic
can party has not gone into trade, as the
New Era accuses thirty thousand Democrats
and Greenbackers in Maine of having done
"PERLEY" telegraphs to the Boston Jour
nal: s'There is some probability that Sena-
tor Blaine may authorize his friends to OPEN
ly organize Presidential canvass in opposi-
tion to Grant. Ever since the Harrisburg
Convention Blaine's friends have insisted
that he ought not to make his candidacy de-
pendent upon Grants determination wheth-
er he himself should be candidate or not,
but that he should openly assert himself, and
that his only chance for success before the
convention would be to openly take the field
as candidate, and to abandon the policy of
waiting events, which he seems hitherto to
have adopted. Some of Blaine's friends have
said to-day that as result of conferences
which have been held here during the past
week it was quite possible that he may de-
termine upon new departure, and may en-
deavor at least to form an organization to
prevent any of the Western States from in
structing for General Grant. Should this
policy be determined upon, it is probable
that the first effort will be made in Illinois.
1t cannot be said that Blaine has yet decided
on such course, but the indications are
that he will.
