THE Springfield Republican gives the fol :
lowing brief account of a New York jour-
nalist who was, perhaps, one of the best
representatives of his kind. He was GER
tainly able and Industrious and accomplished
in his profession:
Ivory Chamberlain, whose death has Just
been announced, was remarkable illustration
of the anonymous character of New York, and
one might say, of American journalism. From
1868 to 1874, Mr.. Chamberlain was the political
leader writer of the New York World and did
more than any other contributor to give the
paper its influence with the Democratic party
and an error of Judgment ON his part, in Mr..
Marbles absence, destroyed this influence ire
vokably by printing the "change of base'' edi-
torial, discrediting Horatio Seymour, on the
eve of the election in 1868 In 1874 Mr.. Cham
berlain became leader writer on the New York
Herald, and his work there was distinguished
by the same individuality as on the World and
the same power of forcible political expression,
Wrapped in his work, modest almost to morbid
retirement, Mr.. Chamberlain remained to the
day of his deauh scarcely known in his profess
sion and absolutely unheard of by the large pub
lie which he daily addressed for 16 wears and
whose political opinions he did much to mold.
Mr.. Chamberlain carried, farther than most
journalists, the conscientious belief that per-
sonal predictions or even opinions should
have no share in guiding journalists pen
when the general policy of his paper required
different course, and he continued the warm
est individual relations with Horace Greeley in
1872 at time when he was heaping up person.

A Vigorous Protest.

The report made to the Legislature bv
the joint special committee within whose
province the consideration of the arguments
| and recommendations of the Governors
message come, is vigorous protest against
the incorrect statements, the false deduc-
tions, and the dsingenuous reasoning gener
ally to be found in that notorious paper.
The import of of the Governors message
was that the State of Maine is lahoring
under most unequal and very burdensome
taxation, that its laws are framed ia the in
terests of the rich and for the oppression of
the poor, and that the tendency, encour-
| aged by legislation, is to the accumulation
OF great landed estates and to the heaping
OF distress upon men of humble means.
The only fair inference to be drawn from
the message is that this assumed state of
things is the work of the political party
which has controlled the administration.
with one exception, for quarter of a CEN
tury. The only instance adduced is the
maintenance of our laws concerning the
collection of debt.
1t happens that most of these laws were
enacted while Maine was under the control
OF the Democratic party, and that whatever
ameioration has been made in them has
been made since the State came under the
control of the Republican party. The po-
litical organization which has governed this
country since 1860, has proved itself here as
in all other parts of the Union, the protec-
tor of the oppressed; and to it-not to the
Democracy-the country owes the advance
in humanity, in political freedom, and in
industrial development it has made. The
committee whose report we are cousid-
ering do right in making their protest and
deserve the thanks of all good citizens.
The title of the committee has been
laughed at by the Argus-which serves
Governor Plaisted in triple capacity, that
OF organ, organ-grinder, and organ-grinder's
monkey-as pompous and otherwise absurd
1t seems to us fitting title. If Maine is
not commonwealth, what is 1t? and II
our legislators are not called together to
consider its state, what are they called to
Augusta for?

How Grant Learned to Smoke.

Gen. Grant has explained how he became
attached to cigar. When at West Point he
tried to join other cadets in smoking, but the
experiment did not agree with him, and he
did not form the habit, nor did he begin to
smoke much until he began fighting the battles
OF the war. Engaged in all the early contests,
he found cigar of some service in relieving
the mental strain upon him, and when bat
tie was in progress he often had cigar in his
mouth but still he was not an inveterate
smoker On other occasions he probably did
not smoke so much as most men of moderate in
diligence. To his surprise he found the news
papers making point of his smoking, and
very soon boxes of elegant cigars began to ar
rive at his headquarters from all parts of the
country. There were so many that all officers
attached to his immediate service were sup-
piled, and with such supply he assisted in
sampling until, as the campaign went on he
enjoyed his cigar on all occasions and has
since smoked as much as the best of men. He
thinks the newspapers influenced him great
deal on the tobacco question.

GOSPEL truth from the Hartford Courant.
Mr.. Blaine did his country no better service
during his term in the senate than Just be-
fore leaving it when he introduced his reso-
luton for committee to consider the mode
of electing a president and vice-president
and OF counting the electoral vote, with in
structions to report such changes as may
seem desirable, before the second Wednes-
day in 1882. 1t is disgrace to the late con-
gress, as to its predecessor, that, notwith-
standing the peril to the country which was
made manifest by the election of 1876, no
provisions were made to avert such dangers
for the future. There was only one reason
for this culpable neglect, namely, that feel
ing confident of its hold upon both houses of
congress the Democratic leaders preferred to
retain the power to decide any doubtful
questions which might arise, in a partisan
manner. If they had thought more of coun-
try and less of party their tenure of power
might have been more extended.

POSTMASTER GENERAL JAMES has great
qualifications for journalism if the follow
ing description of one of his gifts bv the
New York Tribupe is trustworthy. The
Tribune says: One popularity of Postmas-
ter General James which will strike most
persons coming in contact with him is his
good nature. He has the happy faculty of
doing business surrounded by bores without
losing his gracousness or his temper, and
he can get rid of an obnoxious visitor in such
way as to make him think he is comforting
favor when he is being literally edged out
of the loom.

appointment to those Republicans who
favored it at the start. The Fusionists,

perhuman feat of swallowing each other.

concern at gulp. They've got it;

Rescued from Death.

The following statement of William
j. Coughlin, Of Somerville, Mass, Ii SO
remarkable that we beg to ask for it
the attention of readers. He says:
''In the TALL of 1876 1 was taken with
a violent bleeding of the lungs, followed
by a sever cough. ! o o began to
loso my appetite and flesh. l was so
weak at one time that 1 could not leave
my bed. In the summer Of 1877 l was
admitted to the city hospital. While
there the doctors said 1 had a hole in
my left lung as big as a half dollar. /
expended over a hundred dollars in
doctors and medicines. l was so far
that l was dead. 1 gave up hope, but
q friend told me of DR.. VIM. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs. l laughed at
my friends, thinking that my case was
i~ncurable, but l got a bottle to satisfy
them, when to my surprise and gratih-
cation, 1 commenced to feel better.
Ny hope, ono dead, began TO revive,
and to-day 1 feel in better spirits than
l have the past three years.
~ write this hoping you will publish
it, SO that every n afflicted with Dis.
eased Lungs will be induced to take
DIR. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs,
and be convinced that Consumption
can be cured. l have taken two bot
ties, and can positively say that it has
done more good than all the other
medicines 1 have taken since my sick
ness. My cough has almost entirely
disappeared, and 1 shall soon be able to
go to work. Sold by druggists.
