The Removal of the Rattle p,o nc

Col L. S. Bangs of Waterville, department
comma nder of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, has addressed the following card to the
order:
Comrades-Having in common with many
other comrades of the G. A. r. in this depart
ment, signed remonstrance to the Legislature
against the removal of the battle flags of the
Maine regiments from the Capitol, upon the
application of the executive committee of
soldiers reunion, it is but just to them and
those they represent that should express nv
regret at having done so. without being proper
~ informed OF their plans and purposes, and
tho safeguards they had themselves prescribed
In their petition The G.. A. R. seems by this
action of mine and of my comrades to be
placed semi-oficially in an attitude of opposi-
tion to the wishes of the most distinguished
soldiers in our State, most of whom are mem
bers OF our order, and all of whom are as
anxious to see our tattered battle-fags sacred
ly preserved, as we can be-
Ii we have involuntarily placed ourselves in
false position let us make amends bv con-
sidering, first, by whose authority the Legis-
lature became the custodian of these flags, and
second, whether the safeguards proposed for
their removal, protection, and safe return, are
not sufficient to secure our consent and an
prOVal.

The meeting of the Methodist Social Union,
entertained by the NJ. e. church on Monda y
evening, as previously reported in the PRESS,
WIS very successful, both in point of numbers
and interest. One hundred and fifty came
from Portland. A bountiful supper was spread
in the vestry, and in kind and quality and
neatness Of arrangement fully sustained the
already we'll known reputation of the Gorham
ladies in this direction. After supper all re-
paired to the audience room and listened to
music and several recitations by young Miss
Goldthwait of Portland, niece of Geo. e.
Thompson. Her reciting was very fine for one
OF her years, showing the possession of great
natural talent. She was encored several times.
We predict for her brilliant future. The
charming operetta "Genevieve,' which has
been in preparation for several weeks will be
given next Friday evening for the benefit of
the Congregational church of this place.
