of Pennsylvania, disregarding the gem
eral opinion which obviously prevails
among the rank and file of the anti-Cam
eron voters have refused to submit the
unfortunate differences which exist to a
vote of the Republicans of the State.
They raise the black flag and boldly de-
clare that it is not a question of the will
of the majority, but simply one of their
own self-will and arrogance. They say
they have decided that the people are
incapable of self-government, and that
they need the rule of Boss committee
chosen by convention whose delegates
were never chosen at all. They will
not go into a new choice of cam
didates, because they say they would
be beaten. They say the majority Of the
Republican voters are in favor of bad
men for office, and that therefore they
will no longer be Republicans But they
Say they will call themselves Republicans
still because by that means they may
steal a few votes. They say that if nine
tenths of the Republican party want a
candidate who does not belong to their
clique they will not be ruled by the nine
tenths. They say awe can kill your
party and we will do so if you do not give
us the Offices" They are footpads, and
are bent solely on making violence win
for them what they have not the num-
bers to command. They say: "Stand
and deliver. Your nominations or
you life" They pretended to be will
ing to submit to popular vote, provided
they should be allowed to degrade the
men already regularly nominated bv
ruling them out from the contest. Had
this infamous proposition been acceded to
the bolter leaders would have bolted the
next convention. They insolently say
that they will vote only for members of
their own little gang. The main body of
the Independents now see the insincerity
Of their leaders. 1t is coarse and unmiti-
gated political piracy. 1t is Il mixture of
secessionism or minority rule with Ku-
Kluxism or political ruilianism. Every
true Republican will see that
the Regulars offered to stake
the nominations which they had
already legtimately made to save the
party from division. No true Republican
will follow the destructives who, since
all pretext has been taken from them,
still 60 on in the effort to destroy the
party without preteXt Let those who
are tired of Republicanism fight it. They
will find that it is founded OH rock, and
that the gates of hell cannot prevail
against it.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
REPORT.
A LARGE SAVING MADE THE LAST
YEAR.
Several Old Bills Collected by the
County.

Yesterday we were enabled to present our
readers with the County Treasurer's report, for
Cumberland County, and to-day we lay before
them that of the Commissioners. 1t will be
seen that they have made qnite a saving,
and also collected several old bills that have
been some time pending.
The first part of the report gives the disposal
of cases that have been before the Commits
sioners and have been previously reported in
the papers.
Upon protest of Neal Dow against the pay
ment of the bills for services of the special
deputy sheriffs in the suppression of the liquor
traffic, an order was passed, requiring itemized
bills for such services, to be filed with the
commissioners before payment would be
allowed
An order was passed authorizing the county
treasurer to hire sum of money for the use of
said county, not exceeding So ,000 for term
of time not exceeding five months, at a rate of
interest not exceeding five per cent. per an
mum.
Also orders were passed summoning certain
trial justices to appear before the County Com
missioners for examination in relation to their
official action; and an order of notice to the
City of Portland, that more office room in con-
nection with the registry of deeds is required
fol the accommodation and convenience of
said county.
The bills audited by the County Commits
sioners during the year 1881, upon the various
accounts, amounts to the several sums as herein
after set forth:

Village Improvement Society On
Peaks Island.

A Village Improvement Society" On
Peaks Island
A movement has just been begun on Peaks
Island, which if vigorously prosecuted .cannot
fail to bring that almost unnot iced suburb OF
this city into prominence as sammer resort,
and also as a delightful home for any Portland
er. Peaks Island has long been visited by our
citizens during the summer months, but how
many have ever considered the plan ofsmaking
a permanent home there? And yet there is
almost nothing to prevent; house lots may be
purchased on the island at merely nominal
rates as compared with city prices; the cost of
living is very much less than in the city; the
place is noted for Its remarkable healthfulness,
and the school privileges are equal to and in
fact a part of the Portland school SYSTEM a
steam ferry connection the year round gives
ready access to the various employments of the
city. There is no reason why the mechanic,
the clerk or the merchant of Portland should
not have his house and family on Peaks Is
land.
The movement referred to was inaugurated
at meeting of the Islanders on Thursday
evening" presided over by e. G. p. Smith, Esq.
Enthusiastic speeches, alternating with music
by the Island Cornet Band, were made by the
chairman, Messrs. Jones, Trefethen, Brackett'
A. G. Sterling, Fisher Rev. 7. P. Adams,
Mr. Woods, gentleman from Massachusetts
who happened to be present, Mr.. Patten and
others. The general sentiment seemed to be
that the Island had been favored by nature
with attractions far exceeding those of Old Or
chard and other watering places in the yicin-
ity, and all that was needed was little enter
prise and activity ON the part of the residents.
1t was argued that shade trees should be inn
mediately set out along Island avenue and the
cross roads, new roads laid ut-particularly
drive way around the Island-and a public
garden planned. Various other Improvements
were suggested, and committee of prominent
citizens was appointed by the chair, to report
at the next meeting scheme of general i'm
proyement.
A resolution of thanks was voted to Capt. G.
A. Knowlton for providing so good accommo-
dation in the matter of ferriage during the
winter mouths, and especially for his morning
aud evening trips; and assuring him of the
general appreciation of his unfailing gener
osity.
The meeting was then adjourned, to meet
subject to the call of the committee.

Wnman,s Workroonn.

The managers of the Woman's workroom
request that persons in need of common cloth
ing, such as dresses, aprons and undergar-
ments, to call at Miss Mobiles, 156 Spring
street, and examine their work. They have a
large assortment, and unless they can dispose

that class of poor who are earnest to help
themselves.

ceipt of $500 from Mrs. d. NJ. Rea, So 90 from
Mrs Dslliff, and $4,000 received through Miss

Potato Cars.

An improvement has been made in potato
cars and the prospect is that potatoes will
henceforth be conveyed safely to market, no
matter how cold the weather. The improved
car, which is now about to be introduced, is
specially arranged for the regular diffusion of
continuous heat, which can be retained for
any length of time. 1t may be called warm
air car One of these has been running on the
Maine Central Railroad since November, and
has given complete satisfaction The requisite
heat is obtained from four S-inch kerosene
burners, which are attached beneath the floor
Of the car and covered with iron plates. The
burners are fed from an adjacent oil tank,
which holds about thirty-fve gallons, enough
for ten days use. The car is so constructed
that the heat from the burners is conveyed be-
tween the lining all around the freight, SO that
an even temperature of IS degrees can be kept
up as long as the oil holds out at compare
lively trifing expense.

The Pennell Case.

At the present term of the j. j. Court suit
for 5000 was entered in favor of Mrs. Lemira
P. Pennell of this city, against Drs Cummings,
Brooks, Small and Foster. She claims that
these physicians in January, 1881, made GER
tifcate, in which they stated that they had
examined her, as to her mental condition and
found her insane, needing the restraints of an
insane hospital; that the municipal officers of
Portland upon the strength of this certificate
sent her to the insane hospital at Augusta,
and had her there confined five months She
alleges that, in fact no such examination was
made; that two of the doctors signed said GER
tificate on the strength of the alleged examin-
alton of the other two, and in fact, she was
not insane at said time, or at any time since.
The case goes over to the April term. Hon.
J. J. Perry and 81. d. Hadlock, Esq, are
counsel for Mrs. Pennell. Drummond &
Drummond will appear for the doctors.

A CUP OF TEA
And What It Did for a Family in Lisbon.


The investment in green tea made by the
Saindou family, at Lisbon. has been disas-
trous to that town in more ways than one. We
chronicled, in the early part of the winter, the
poisoning of the family, and the critical i'll
ness of several of them, caused by drinking a
decoction of tea bought from peddler and
supposed to have been colored with some poi
sonous mineral.
There are eight in the family, and all except
the smaller children, who, it is supposed did
not drink the tea, were more less affected, and
have been unable to do any work since the I'M
fortunate draught.
The poison seems to have entirely deprived
their muscles Of strength, and they are in
feeble condition. The town officers have had
To take care of them, in the meanwhile, and
have made several attempts to dispose of the
burden. The Saindous declined proposition

tickets for the family, little and big. The
tickets cost eighty dollars. The Saindous were
very destitute They sold even their stove
and their bedsteads to obtain money to pur-
chase necessaries, and realized only few dol

A Catastrophe Averted.

Mr. Charles Jordan, belonging at Cape Eliz.
abeth was driving sled loaded with cabbages
over Commercial street, yesterday afternoon,
and got the shoe of his sled caught in the rail-
road track, just as freight train was backing
down. The engineer of the train tried to slow
down, but found it impossible and the locomo-
tive struck the rear of the sled pushing it
along the track for some distance. One of the
horses was knocked down and dragged along
with it. The sled was badly smashed and the
cabbages strewn in the street. The horses
were taken to Ling & Hollands stable, but
were found uninjured. 1t does seem as if long
freight trains should not be allowed to back
down the street. The engine should precede
and very long trains not be permitted.
