Tie Third Maine Regiment has
opted resolutions asking the sena-
Tors and representatives from Maine
to favor the establishment of invalid
homes for Confederate soldiers. In
response the Georgia legislature
adopts resolutions, declaring that the
Maine regiment has acted with a
f'magnanimity which touches every
Southern heart" Copies of the reso-
'<stion were forwarded to the officers
The regiment and to the governor
Maine. Thus step by step does the
after remembrance of the late wal
disappear, while an era of good feel
ing is inaugurated in its stead.

JUDGE BLACK rebuked, with scath-
ing force, the electoral fraud" of
1876. He portrayed, with pungent
force, the low state of political morals
which had obtained. Men who scorn
to lie and cheat and lie in business
would do both in politics. In an ar
tiele from his pen which appeared in
1877, he said:
Perhaps it is too much to expect
that body of politicians in these de-
generate days should act with scrupu-
lous honesty like the men who filed
high stations in early times. The
false philosophy of Seneca, that all
immoralities are justified when done
regnandi causa. gains ground rapidly.

81 PLENTY of proof is accommodating
Jas to the truth of Dorsey's revelations.
Mr.. Thomas w. Phillips, of Newcastle,
Delaware, who was great friend of
Gan field, says that when he visited
Garfield at Mentor in 1880 Garfield on
one occasion said to him: 1.-The sad
dest thing of all is the large amount
Of money that is going into this cam
paign. If this continues it is only a
question of time with the nation"
Aud yet the man who is alleged to
have given expression to those regrets,
wrote to Jay Hubbell to stir up Brady,
then assistant postmaster general, to
greater activity in collecting cash to
bribe voters. 1t would have been
Setter for Garfeld's memory if Phil
(. nps had not spoken.

ffoNE;TY is a predominant feature
in no sort of society or public relation
at Washington. The civil service law
allows thirty days leave of absence
with pay, and sixty days with pay in
cases of sickness. Since the civil SER
vice law went into effect very large
number of clerks, usually healthy,
have been reported sick. lnveStiga-
tion showed that these sick clerks
were having good times at summer
resorts, and that their certificates were
signed by a broker who used to peddle
pills in distant state. No doubt the
broker made more by granting fraud
Sulant certificates than he ever made
"a the pill business.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 12.-Blaine

published Tuesday, purporting to be

future. He said he rarely noticed
sensational paragraphs of any kind
but he would in this case. and say that
the views attributed to him were pre-
cisely the reverse of those he held
He did not believe Butler could be re-
elected governor of Massachusetts,
and had the fullest confidence that a
Republican president would be chosen
next year. The Republican party, he
added, would be found far stronger in
the elections in 1883 than either in
1873 or 1879.

NEW YORK.

INV YORK, May, 12.-Thers was a weak
feeling at the opening, and prices were
shade lower generally, couple of south
eastern roads being exceptions. During
most of the day trading was lifeless, even
less than usual being done. There was one
triveal rally, but the gain was more than
lost in the closing hour. Omaha showed
considerable weakness, and ST. Paul was
not fully sustained. The impression in
some circles has been that to-day's weak
ness in prices has been manipulated by a
Smith Morgan combination with the idea
of increasing the short interest. Some
of the shrewdest traders have covered their
shorts to-day, believing that rapid turn
Ia prices would be sean. Transactions as
a whole have been without much influence.
Louisville & Nashville has decliued oa
sales which were thought to have come
from the Newcomb party and to have
been given for the purpose of cover
ing shorts IN the stocks. There
is rumor that harmony has been essa b.
lished between the Newcomb and the
Baldwin interests in Louisville, and thai
the result is likely to be a cessation of at
lacks and an advance in the prices. The
bear explanation Of the late decline is
that the company has been selling stocks.

The Tewksbury Inquiry.

BOSTON, May 12.-In the Tewksbury
hearing to-day, Gov. Butler introduced a
telegram from the superintendent of the
Soldiers homo at Augusta, Me-, Civ
ing the cost of provisions at that institu-
ton, which he claimed was much less
proportionately than at Tewksbury. Fran.
els B. Records, professional book-keeper
testified to the loose system of keeping &C
counts at Tewksbury. AS far back as he
knew there was no evidence to show that
the superintendent had received conces-
sions from tradesmen. The governor here
announced that with the exception of two OF
three books and one witness, he had no
further testimony to offer. His excuse for
protracting the hearing was that he deemed
it a duty to present accumulative testi-
mony upon certain points in view of the
charges IN the public prints that he had
proven nothing.
