The Stolen Letters.

Hasn't the whig word a worn to say concern
ing those stolen letters which it received from the
hands of Corporal Davis for publication? Dares the
Whig deny it did so? Dares tho Wing deny that
Davis obtained possession of those letters unlaw-
fully, aud in way that stamps him as neither a
gentleman or man.-Bangor Commercial.
Yes, the Wing has word to say ON those
letters. They are the tracks in the lsnow left
by the fleeing burglar; they are the mask drop
ped by the housebreak er; they are the tell-tale
traces of the thief who comes in the night;they
are evidences of guilt left by the robbers dis
turbed in the division Of their plunder, and as
such, and like all such, they are the property
of the law. More than this, they are confess
sions, and belong to the public in the interests
of right and justice.
What court ever hesitated to condemn a
criminal on his own confession? What officer
of Justice ever failed to take into his possess
sion documents which would lead to the con-
viction of a felon? These letters are part of
the evidence which we offer to the people of
Maine, who are the tribunal before which
these great criminals are arraigDed, and the
Whig is entitled to the gratitude of all honest
men for furnishing these documents, which
would convict in any court in the world. We
propose during the present campaign to repro
duce the letters of these confessed burglars,
that our readers may see their crime in all its
ideousness.-Bangor Wing.

And the women? What is to be said OF
them with their marvellous color combinations
and their picturesque appearance and the vir-
ginial downcast style of look which has come
in with tight-cut, flowing garment and the
penthouse-roof style of the tangled eye-darken-
ing locks? Here is a girl in chromatic scale
Of burnt sienna drapery. Several different
tints blend and mingle and cause her to re-
semble living walking cup of rhubarb and
magnesia, like what the nurse of our childhood
inflicted on our shrinking selves as we sat up
in bed shivering in our nightgowns and lister ed
to the gentle tinkling of the teaspoon that her.
aided the nauseous draught Children now
know nothing of filthy physic; and this fair
girl, with hyacintbine locks and sparkling blue
eyes, little recks what horrid memories she
has inspired us with. This grand creature is
the goddess Juno, with suavely flowing robes
of grass-green, bordered at the edge with gol-
den tracery, and bonnet lis it a bonnet, or is
it not rather the nimbus of the gods?) all
studded with big ox-eyed daises. How ma
jestically she movesl Who is it? She was
once little barefooted model running nudely
in the mud; now she has married a great
painter, whose ideal is Greek, so his wife wears
Juno's dress. and looks monstrous we'll in it,
tOO, ny OuuO. I1oro COiueS, Suroly, our laQy OF
despair, who has eaten of Dead Sea fruit, and
has found it calcined with bitterness and salt
tasting tears. Her brow is sad, her eyes are
wide and dark trimmed; her face is long and
angular; her garments are sad-colored, and
might be stained, from their appearance, with
the dews and tolls of years of travel-green
that has turned blue, pink that has faded into
yellow, white that has merged into pale gray
these are tie tints she affects: her hands are
white and worn-in one she carries lily, for
she is an admirer of Burne-J Jones-and her
husband keeps large draper's shop in the
city. And the little lady here is a poetess,
decked with barbaric-looking gold ornaments
and a back-and- crimson gown. What a,prety
little face it is, and what speaking, frightened
looking, fawn-like eyes! She writes Of love
well, who could help loving her? And this
one is musician, the inky locks thrown back
and curling into wavy rings, like a Medusa
head. She has composed an anthem and
"Miserere," and wears brown dress, with
pleatings at the waist and straight dull folds,
like the Madonnas of Fra Angelica.

The York Republicans.

The meeting of the Republicans of York
yesterday was large and enthusiastic and
auspicious of success. The pleasant town of
Alfred, the scene of so many political
gatherings, has rarely if ever witnessed a
greater one. The convention was prompt
and harmonious and nominated an excellent
ticket; and the meeting which followed was
fitting ratification of its proceedings and
an augury of triumph in September. Among
those in attendance were many who acted
with the Greenbackers two years ago, but
have now returned to the old party in which.
they are persuaded, lies the hope of the
country. 1t is evident that the columns are
up to their full strength once more, and
that York county will throw an old-fashion-
ed Republican majority this Fall.

Is General Anderson a Hancock
Veteran?

The following appeared in the editorial
columns of the Argus yesterday August 5th I:
is not the Press mistaken? 1t states that
Gen. Anderson of this city is an officer of the
Hancock Veteran Association. Gen. Ander-
son has never received notice of his appoint
ment to such position, and in fact is not in
any way connected with such an association. OF
course Gen. Anderson will appreciate the kind
ness of our amiable contemporary in attribut-
ing to him an honor that does net belong to
him. The statement in the papers to that
effect some time ago must have been mistake.
Possibly the PRESS is mistaken. The au-
thority for the statement it made concern
ing General Anderson is found in the edito-
rial columns of the Argus, July Goth. The
Argus editorial paragraph read thus:
"Gen. S. j. Anderson of this city, and Gen. c.
w. Roberts of Bangor, have been named by the
Executive Committee of the National Associa-
tion of Hancock Veterans as members of the
National Committee from Maine. Both are
excellent appointments"
The Argus is poor authority in matters
political, we know; but we did not suppose
it would misrepresent its own candidate for
Congress. Even now We do not know
which of the Argus's statements to believe.
1t does not retract the first.

THE dissatisfaction of Indiana Demo-
Gratis with their candidate for Governor,
seems to be increasing. The New Albany
Ledger, the principal Democratic journal
in the southern part of the State, says,
why not bounce Landers from the Demo-
cratic ticket% He will probably get bounced
very high by Porter in October" This is a
fair sample of the political aspect out there
as related by gentlemen who pass through
Washington. The latest intelligence is that
Hon. William Fleming, one of the present
State officers in Indiana, and Democratic
high priest of the strong Democratic county
of Allen, has stated recently. that Indiana
will go Republican by 10000 or. 12 900, and
that it will not be safe FOR ''the boys' to
bet otherTise. As there are some distin-
guished representatives of the Indiana Dem
ocracy now said to be in Jail for fraudulent
voting in Indiana, it is thought that the
success of the Democracy this fall in that
State will not be as great as in 1876, when
it is estimated they polled 10000 fraudulent
votes.

adjourned, says the Indianapolis Journal, a
