An Attractive Excursion.

The Maine Central Railroad offers for Friday
9th inst. an exceedingly attractive excursion
in connection with the opening of the Samoset
Hous; on Mouse Island The beauties of
Boothbay Harbor are we'll known, and Mouse
Island is the gem of the harbor. The wav
thither lies by the M. C. R. R. to Bath, where
will be waiting the new, large and elegant
steamer Sebenoa. The voyage from Bath to
Mouse Island through the rock-bound inland
passages, between verdant islands and past
beetling headlands, with no motion of the
water sufficient to disturb the most delicate
stomach. is in itself thing of surprising in
terest ana pleasure. AT the Samoseu, House
one may be certain that everything possible
will be done for the comfort and conven-
fence OF guests, and then in the afternoon
comes the smooth and charming sail back to
Bath and the ride home to Portland arriving
early in the evening. And all this for the sum
of one dollar The announcement elsewhere
published gives the particulars of this delight
full trip which we can cordially commend

Accident to Fred Plaisted

AT Silver Lake week ago Ross and Plais-
ted were amusing themselves by fishing for
frogs when Fred received sharp prick on the
heel of his right foot. Since then the foot has
swollen very badly, and the injury was
thought by Plaisted to be the bite of snake.
DR.. Blodgett of Boston performed an operation
on the foot Saturday evening, and, if Plaisted
should be a winner in either of the races for
which he is entered today, it will be because
he has more pluck than oarsmen ordinarily
possess, DIR. Blcdgett says the injury is not
the bite of a snake, but an abcess produced by
irritation caused by the copper heel cups in
which the oarsman's feet rest, and which bind
them on the recover. Plaisted Saturday even
ing seemed determined to row today, but
has been advised by the physician and others
of his friends not to do SO. His desire to row
comes from the belief that, if he fails to appear
on the line, his motive for not appearing will
-misconstrued, and people will think he was
afraid; but Dr. Blodgett, President of the Dol
phin Club, says it would be cruel for Plaisted
to row half dozen strokes in his present con-
dition, and that he might be incapacitated
from rowing for months if he starts in either

THE U. S. MARSHALS.
A Vigorous Protest from Judge Fox.

Owing to the Democratic Congress having
failed to make any appropriation for the pay
OF United States marshals, thus blocking the
wheels OF Justice in the United States Courts.
Judge Fox wrote to Justice Clifford the fol-
lowing vigorous protest:
"The Marshal (Marshal Murray has already
advanced to the government 81, 800, for which
ne Will get no interest, and 1 do not think
that under such circumstances those who run
the courts at Washington should have the
DrasS TO ask him to increase this amount a sim
gle cent. 1 should be ashamed to do it. The
plan they suggest of issuing certificates to the
Jurors would not work. Jurors would not be
inclined to accept them, as the bank would
wal want the lions share and would deduct 10 to
~ per cent, as there is no certainty that they
would ever be paid. The government, of
course, would not be bound, and the marshal
would act quite unNisely to render himself
personally accountable. L would never advise
a juror to accept such trash. There is one way
the Department of Justice can ;obviate the
whole trouble. The Marshal has in his hands
money enough to pay juries andswitnesses.if he
could apply it to either of these expenditures,
put ne is restricted by their modern red tape,
as 1t is nearly all specially appropriated to pay
witnesses. Let the department authorize him
to pay the jury from this amount, after paying
the witnesses, and we can go along. Will you
see II they will not send him telegram au-
thorlzing him to thus apply the funds in his
nands! Ii not shall adjourn the court and
discharge the jury the moment he advises me
he!ls out of jury funds, and shall endeavor to
nave the records show quite distinctly the
cause OF the adjournment. understand the
Marshal hired portion of the amount he has
advanced AID is now paying interest upon it,
Justice Clifford, in forwarding Judge Fox's
letter to the Attorney General, strongly rec
commended its suggestions, but neither of these
judges seemed to remember that the red tape
OF which they wrote was distinct provision of
law, which forbade the use of public money
Tor any purpose except that for which it was
appropriated.

A Conclusive Answer

"
The Bangor Commercial calls on ex-Gov.
DINGHY to respond to Mark Harden's charges
that he, as we'll as other Republican Cover
nors, did not participate in the canvass of
votes, but allowed the Council to declare
whom they pleased elected, without verifying
the facts himself There is no need of any re-
ply to charges from such source. For the
enlightenment of the Commercial, it is suf-
ficient to say that in every case in which the
committee of the Council reported any change
in the result from what appeared in the du-
pllcate returns as made to the Secretary of
State, and as published in all the newspapers
and accepted by the public as correct,I the ex-
governor personally investigated the facts
and that he did not approve the council re-
port declaring the names of persons elected,
until he ascertained by such examination that
the results of the tabulatons of the council
were correct Perhaps, if the editor of the
Commercial will call on the publisher, Mr..
Bass, he will learn that ex-Gov. d. not only
personally investigated the facts in the case
OF a defective" legislative return from Ban.
the ex-governor took the ground Tin which 1.-THE
council concurred) that Mr.. Bass should be de-
clared elected in accordance with the vote of
people, notwithstanding technical defect in
the return. AS to the charge of signing GER
tifcates and commissions in blank it is enough
to say that they are always thus safely signed
in blank, because the commission or certificate
must accord with the nomination or report
previously approved by the governor, as APP
pears of record; and if the Secretary of State
should fill out blank paper thus signed with
name not appearing of record as nominated
or approved by the governor, it would be null
and void.-Le,cistOn Journal
