A Town LIGHTED BY EnEcrRrcrrY

Wabash, Ind, boasts of being the
first town to adopt the electric light for
general illumination. A beginning was
made March 81, with four Brush lamps
of 8, 900 candle power each suspended
on the flagstaff of the court house. A
seven horse power generator supplies
the electricity. The contract called for
a light equal to a gas burner at dis
tance of 2,640 feet from the lamps.
The tests were said to be satisfactory.
Many visitors from adjoining towns
were present to witness the first trial
of the new method

Judge Tourgee, author of "The FOOLS
Errand,'' in speech at the Republican rati-
fication in New York city, took exceptions
to the remark of the speaker preceding him,
to the effect that after the next census the
solid South would cease to be factor in our
pelitics. Judge Tourgee said, II am ac-
quainted with the men who are to take the
census in the South, and they can as easily
pack graveyard in the census as in the
ballot box. If I am not mistaken, you will
find more grayeyards in the census than vo-
ters to match them in the North. The
South is not going to lose its grip on the ma
ton if it can hold it by any ordinary or ex-
traordinary MEANS"

EDITOR Benedict, of the Burlington (Vt.)
Free Press, says that the Grant men had Sc
lectcd the Vermont Senator as their second
choice, and chad there been dozen less
votes for Grant and a dozen more for Blaine
on the first ballot, or had the confident
boasting of the Blaine men at any subse-
quent time been near fulflment, doubtless a
combination, fully planned, would have
been consummated, which would have car
ried the day, and given the party Mr.. Ed
munds for President" He adds: cat IL
O'Clock on Tuesday morning Mr.. Conkling,
If he had chosen to do so, could have named
the head of the ticket. An hour later all
that was left TO him was to name the tail of
it. When, on the thirty-ffth ballot, the
signs that the collapse of the deadlock had
come became unmistakable the Grant leaders
hurriedly passed the word that they would
go for Edmunds on the next ballot"

The Credit Mobilier Affair

The article elsewhere printed concerning
General Garfield's connection with the pur-
chase Of Credit Mobilier stock speaks for it
self and stands in need of neither elucida-
tion nor comment. 1t is a complete refuta-
tion Of the charges made against the Repub-
lican candidate for the Presidency and full
exposure of the distorted statements and
false deductions upon which these charges
are based. Perhaps it is unnecessary to
give so much space to the exposure OF a
slander which never obtained credit with
men familiar with public affairs. But the
story of the Credit Mobilier has passed out
of the minds of people, and he malice and
merdacity of the Democratic press
might, unless exposed, make some impress
sion upon the minds of voters unacquainted
with the facts. The full statement which
will be found in another column leaves no
excuse for crediting or repeating the ca
lumny

WORDS of good sense from the Chicago
Inter-Ocean: "The IDter-Ocean would fight
like salamander for Republicanism were
there no leader at all. With such leader
as Garfield it can do it's best with hearty
goodwill and enthusiasm. 1t has no ex-
cuses for its warm espousal of the cause of
General Grant. 1t has nothing but words
of commendation for the men who stood
with it in the battles of the preliminary can
vass. 1t has no fault to find with the Grant
leaders, and not a word of censure for those
who followed them. There are no sore
spots in the Grant ranks, and no breaks in
their line. They accept Garfield as their
leader, believe in him, and are proud of
him. The Blaine men and Sherman, well
as they may do, shall not lead us in the
fight. We are in front, and mean to stay
there, defending Garfield against everything
and everybody, and ready to fight the De-
mocracy all along the line. In such fight
we would rather have one good loyal Blaine
man Or one true Sherman man than score
Of pretentious scratchers or hundred do
mesticated kickers. In this battle the work
is to be done by the veterans who, as Grant
men, Blaine men, Sherman men, Edmunds
men, and Washburne men, fought their
fight in convention to the end, and came out
of it the same stout-hearted stalwarts they
went in. They understand that the CAM
paign is to be no child's play, but they are
ready for work, and they will win,''

ty Of the House of Representatives. Though
partisan he is capable of some fairness.
he is not man of wealth, and never will
be. Garfield's strength is personal and pc
culiarly among the people. He lifted him
self, unaided, from the humblest paths to
the position in the history of the country
which he now holds. He is studious man
with strong leaning toward scholarship.
He hasn't the face of a scholar, but he has
the impulses of one. He will never have so
much culture as to prevent his longing for
more, and he will never have so much as to
mar the sturdy common sense by means of
which he has journeyed to an eminence few
have reached"

THE REAL CHARACTER pEvELorEd.
LETTER OF JUDGE BLACK.
PHILADELPHIA, February 10, 49,

MY DEAR SIR;-From the beginning of the inves-
tigation concerning Mr.. Ames's use of the Credit
Mobilier, believed that General Garfield was free
from all guilty connection with that business This
opinion was founded not merely on my confidence in
his integrity, but some special knowledge of his
case. Imay have told you all about it in converse
tien but desire now to repeat it by way of remind
er.
assert unhesitatngly, that whatever General
Garfield may have done or oreborne to do, he acted
in profound ignorance of the nature and character
of the thing which MIR. Ames was proposing to sell.
He had not the slightest suspicion that he to be
taken into ring organized tor the purpose of de-
frauding the public did he know that the stock
was in any manner connected with anything which
came or could come within the jurisdictsoa Of Con-
gress. The case against him lacks the scienter
which alone constitutes guilt.
In the winter of 1870 told General Garfield
of the fact that his name was on Amess list: that
Ames charged him with being one of his distribut-
ees; explained him the character origin and OBJ
jects of the Credit Mobilier pointed the connec
ton it had with Congressional legislation, and
showed him how impossible it was for Member of
Crngress to hold stock in it without bringing mis-
private interests into conflict with his public duty.
That all this was to him perfectly new revelation,
am as sure as can be of such fact, of any fact
which is capable of being proved only by moral cir
cumstances. He told me then the whole story of
Trains offer to him and Amess subsequent socita-
tion and his own action in the premises much as he
detailed it to the committee. do not undertake to
reproduce the conversation but the effect of il all
was to convince me thoroughly that when he lis
tened to Ames he was perfectly unconscious of any
thing evil I watched carefully every word that fell
from him ON this point, and did not regard his mar
ratiye OF the transaction in other respects with
much interest, because in my view every thing else
Insignificant did not care whether he had
made bargain technically binding or not; his in
tegrty depended ON the question whether he acted
with his eyes open. If he had known the character
of the proposition made to him he would not have
endured it, much less embraced it.
Now couple this with Mr.. Ames's admission that
he gave no explanation whatever of the matter to
General Garfield, then reflect that not particle of
proof exists to show that he learned anything about
it previous to his conversation with me- and think
you will say that it is altogether unjust to put him
ON the list of those whos knowingly and wilfully
Joined the fraudulent association in question.

A Republican State Convention
WILL BE HELD IN
Wednesday, June %, 1880
At O'Clock A. NJ,

for the purpose of nominating candidate for Gov
ernor to be supported at the September election,
and two candidates for Electors of President and
Vice President of the United States and to trans
act any other business that may properly come be-
fore the Convention.
The basis of representation will be as follows:
Each 9th, town and plantation will be entitled to
one delegate, and for every seventyfve votes cast
for the Republican candidate for Governor in 1879
additional delegate and fraction of forty votes
in excess of seventyve will be accorded delegate.
The State Committee will be in session in the
ante-roem of the Hall at o'clock, on the morning
of the Convention, to receive the credentials of
delegates
For the first time in the history of Maine the at
tempt was made in 1879 to deprive the people of
the right to choose their own officers and to cor
ruptly continue in power those whom the people
had rejected. The authors, abettors and accom-
plices in this crime against free government are
now seeking to come before the people under some
new party name-availing themselves of an alias,
the common resort of those who seek to escape the
responsibility and punishment of their crimes.
Against these men, under whatever name they
may appear, all those citizens who condemn the
nefarous plot to destroy the right of suffrage are
invited to unite. without regard to past party ali
ations to preserve honest Government for the hon
est people of Maine.
