special investigation on our part, and
. should have been duly credited when
copied into the columns Of the Argrs.
We have always noticed that the best
papers are most particular in giving
credit for matter taken from their hum
bier contemporaries. They lose nothing
BY such delicate courtesy, and give little
assistance to struggling enterprise. The
filching Of such items, however, Is com.
mon thing with the two leading Portland
dailies.
We do not aspire to write articles
which the Argrs will quote. We never
expect to attain to such eminence In
journalism-in fact. We don't want to.
1t is a surprising coincidence. that when
ever we have advocated any measure,
which the Argus supported, some bad
result has always followed. For instance,
about year ago, We advocated the seat
ing Of Plaisted As Governor. The Argus
kindly eondescended to quote our views
on the question and to commend them.
Plais,ed was seated, and We have the
msanest and cheapest State government
on record. The Argus has improved .
good deal in the past two years. and has
maintained . better reputation for truth
and vsracity than usual; but it still needs
to learn that Portland is not the bigges,
town in the country and that Portland
dsilies are not tie best conducted.

THE NOMINATIONS To COUNTY OF
FICES.

Governor Plaisted, on Thursday, made
nominations 10 oil vacancies which are TO
occur next week, in county Offices. The
Fusiouists make no concealment OF their
belief that the Council will decline 10 con.
firm the Governors purely partizan APP
polntments The appointment 10 these
vacancies OF gentlemen whom the people
not many months since, declined 10 elect
TO Identical positions, is another proof that
Fusion has thoroughly demora.iZed the
Maine Democracy and made the party
name an obvious misnomer. SO sensible
q thing as the nomination, irrespective OF
political creed, OF the present incumoents
who have the sanction OF the people, pro-
badly. was not generally expected, after
the peculiar phases OF Jscksonlanism which
his Excellency has embodied. The result
probably will be that for the next twelve
months, most, II not all, the ffteen couu-
ties In the State will get on with slightly
diminished force OF County Commission
ers Androscoggin, Somerset and Han
cock are the only counties in the State In
which vacancies occur in the orice OF
Sheriff, and in these cases the law makes
admirable provisions for Jscksonlan crises.
There are but three vacancies in the office
OF Clerk OF Courts. The Courts can pro-
vide in part for any difficulties arising from
a shortage OF Clerks. Tsere is but one va
csncy in the ONCE OF County Attorney
and that in Franklin county, and the Court
can there be OF material assistance.
The bluuders so many OF US obviously
make iu having our own ways, strange 20
saw, DO net make most OF US any the less
fond of them, aud even Governors are like
the plain people" Meantime, We may
look forward 10 further Executive move

traordinary economy OF the civil service,

mon-pure love for the Constitution, as he
understands il, on the one hand, aud, on
the other hand, by the Executive Council,
out OF a love equally servent for the Con-
stitution, as interpreted by the Courts.
This, we say, on the Fusion assumption,
that the Council will decline 10 confirm the
recent Executive nominations.
The wisdom OF the fathers In providing
various constitutional checks on individu-
al ambition is we'll illustrated in the pres
ent e1igency. The admirable co-ordina-
ton OF authority which our fundamental
law provides for, never worked better than
IL now does, preventing unwsrrsnted and

and evergreens, and although the weather
was bad and stormy the house was filled
and the evening much enjoyed by all pres
ent. Some Of our citizens make prac-
tice OF having tree and Christmas festi-
val at home, and in large families this Is
by all means the best way to celebrate the
occasion. No better enjoyed evening
anywhere than was spent at the residence
OF f. A. Young by the family and boarders
on Christmas eve, under the superinten-
dance Of Mr.. Walter Johnson, the tele-
graph operator. In the large sitting room
tree was arranged in the bay window
elegantly decorated containing large
amount OF presents, and Illuminated with
wax candles, and as every window was
lighted, out as well as indoors had bril-
liant appearance. A nice treat OF apples,
oranges, nuts and confectionery was fur
nished, and the evening was spent very
pleasantly, all seeming To- feel that the Re-
deemers birth although an event so many
generations ago was still having It's effect
on human hearts. Many OF the presents
were quite valuable. Mr.. aud Mrs. Young
