the Congressional Convention TO be held a;
Ellsworth on the Eth day OF June next.
the Delegation fsvoring the nomination Of
Hon. Seth l.. Milhken received sol votes
agains, 90 votes for the Delegation favoring
the nomination OF VIM. C. Marshall and
the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Resolred- That inasmuch a. " aldo County
has not had the honor Of sending Repre-
sentative 10 Congress for twenty four Years.
and since during all that time ~ith the e1-
ception Of one year, she has given large
majori,ies TO he Republican candidates
which have been presented by Knox. Wash
ington and Hancock Counties. il is now due
to her in justice and fairness, and in aceor-
dance with previous Understandings, that
the Republican candidacy should be eonced-
ed 10 her by the other Counties Of the Dis
trict and that we earnestly invite the other
towns Of this County 10 unite with Belfast
in demanding from the District that which
is so justly our due;
Resoired-That with confidence and pride
We present to the District as our candidate
for the Republican nomination as Represen-
taiise TO Congress. the Hon. S. L. Milliken
of this city, whose answering hdelsy to the
Republican party, and whose arduous labors
and distinguished services in It's cause, en-
,itles him TO its consideration and support.
After the adoption Of the foregoing reso-
buttons, Mr.. Milliken being called for, made
an eloquent speech in which he paid hand
some tribute to his opponent, Mr.. Marshall.

Another final" dehay,e of Coy Garoelon

Another final" dehayse of Coy Garcelon
and council in the counting out business. has
been published by them in pamphlet form. as
its great length precludes its newspaper
publication. SThe defence is modified so as TO
NEE, new points. and in substance consists
Of assertions of the legality of the count out,
and charges that the alterations and eorrec-
tons Of returns have been made by republi-
cans. Gen Chamberlain is charged with
'duplicity," and republican ex-councils With
changes of returns to count out democrats.
As to the last charge, it is sufficient to say
that there is no truth in it, and that not sin
gle case can be found in the history of the
state where returns were ever altered TO
count out democrat, or where correction Of
returns were allowed on only one side. The
great trouble with the charge that republi-
cans have altered the returns, is that in every
case thess returns we're canvassed by the
council as changed, and therefore must have
been altered before they left that body. The
more defences the late governor and council
make, the worse they appear.

A Good Thing.

1t is a good thing for the State that the
Greenback party is to be fused and melted
into the Democratic party and that hereafter
We are to have only single direct hight.
When this fusion is perfected. as 1t Will be,
We shall see the Democratic party returning
to It's former doctrines of hard money. III
has Welded and ignored it, record on tins
question only to win Greenbackers, and when
it has fairly bagged them it will undonbted-
" be again hard money party. This will
be thoroughly good thing for the State and
country. II will make both the great par
ties in accord upon the money question. Ii
will thus remove the currency from the do
main Of politics and restore to Us once more
constitutional currency, which no one wall
again attempt TO unsettle. Business conn
dence will then cease 10 be disturbed by
fears Of imitation. reputation, and oommun-
ism.

most absurd and uonsensical and vet most
dangerous They tend to destroy business
confidence and business honor. The, men

Of society, The old Democratic doctrine.
We believe 20 be reaciionary. and dangerous
TO good government. but if the party gets
back to its old ground. Ne believe IT will be
a conscrva,or of public and private faith.
Hence We say that it, swallowing Of the
greenback organization. and the consequent
disappearance Of the greenback doctrines

The vein crops out about 100 feet north
of the shaft +; its direction is in line running
northwest and southeast. The vein Of
quartz seems to widen very rapidly as it
descends and al about three feet below the
surface are two veins Of argentiferous galena,
one about twenty. and the other about six
inches wide. Old miners who have visited
the place pronounce it similar To the mineral
bearing quartz of California, and say it con-
tains small quantities Of the silver ore
known as the "carboriates" and "chlorides.-
The company have secured 300 acres Of
land and propose to oNcavate the old shaft /;
