Hardin a Fine Chairman j..

Ex-Governor Hardin performed his
arduous duties as chairman of the
state democratic convention with sig
nal ability and fairness; and, consid-
ering the size of the body and the in
adequacy of the hail in which it sat,
remarkably good order was, in the
main, preserved. The rules were
carried out literally and impartlally,
and whatever may have been the re-
suit in any particular case all will adj
init the fairness and honesty of the
proceedings. This is a satisfaction
to every democrat in the state who
has the success Of the party at heart:
and while every credit is due to the
convention itself too much cannot be
said in praise of its able and disting-
ulshed presiding ofieer.-Lerington

A Deadlock Maintained.

The deadlock between the Con-
gressional candidates of the Seventh
District was brought to this city yes
terday, at the Suggestion Of one of
the aspirants, Judge Elijah Robinson,
of Pike County, for the purpose of
discovering a key that would open a
trail to the coveted prize. The gen.
tleman mentioned and five others, I.

took a hand 10 ~effecting a combina-
alton that the delegates from eight
counties hammered and picked at for
three days at Montgomery City with
out reaching the goal.
JudgeRobinson's idea was that the
inventors of such an intricate piece OF
mechanism were the proper mechan.
les to reveal the mysteries of their in,
genuity. and in order to afford al OPP
portunity for them to exercise theil
skill, remote from the confusing in.

Dick Norton vas beginning to thinl

He would rather hazard his chance

was agreeable to anything. He want
ed a new deal very bad, and woult
have been willing to flip pennies TO
it. A. H. Edwards kept silent, wit
az evident willingness to take a ham
in either game. But Deacon Crew
upset all these schemes by ~refusin:
to gamble. Col. Hutton also assume,
a ministerial air. He, like his broth
er, the Deacon, from across the wal
er, is a diligent reader Of the Globe
Democrat.
Another proposition was to settl
the question by leaving it to a con

Barker cat OF the Race.

As Jno. NJ. Barker is now out of
the race, we will have to support
another aspirant for Congress. The
majority of our people are for Robin

binson. Judge Robinson is a man
that can boast of considerable legal
experience, and as there is no ques-
ton as to his honesty, capability and

half. Nothing but Democratic blood

The Portland daily press., 1884-05-15

Capt. Jacob Mcclellan informs the Tran
script that it is within his memory that the
first steamboat in our waters was the Kennebec
and not the Patent. The Kennebeo was o
lumber scow, rugged with side Wheels brought
here from Bath, by Capt. Seward Porter. in
1922 IT ran to tho islandS mat summer as a
pleasure boat. The next year Capt. Porter
brought the Patent here. Capt. Mcclellan was
q school-boy when the Kennebec arrived, and
he graphically describes the excitement of the
school upon the occasion. 1t was Master Cur
ley's school, on Free street, near where Wal
ter Corey's furniture factory now stands. The
steps of the school-house commanded view Of
the harbor, and the master had arranged that
the scholars should see the phenomenon from
these steps, coming out by divisions for the
purpose. The arrival of the steamer had been
expected, and as it came up the harbor the
first division was ushered out upon the steps.
But before they had satisfied their eyes with
the novel sight, there was a rush from within,
the master was pitched off the steps, and the
whole school broke for the wharf, Master Cur
ley bringin up the rear. 1t was such great
event, that the breach of discipline was con-
doned, though the teachers of that day were
apt ito stand upon their dignity" more strenu-
ously than now.

The New Marshal.

Joseph D. Decsle the new City Marshal of
Portland, is a man of middle age, fine physi-
que, aud has been for several years past the
efficient and satisfactory Waterman of the
First National Bank. He went on the police
force about 1868 and in 1870 he was appointed
deputy marshal by Mayor Kingsbury. He
served in that position until 1872 when he re-
signed to accept the above mentioned position.
He has also been warden of Ward 1, where he
has always resided, and has always been found
an excellent and faithful officer in VIII ateyer
position he has been placed. He will probably
qualify shortly. AS the appointment took
place in the afternoon it was not generally
known yesterday but those who had heard Of
it commended 1t highly.

The New York Panic.

The news Of the failures in New York we're
bulletined at the Merchants Exchange yester-
day, and the board was quickly surrounded by
merchants and other members of the Ex-
change. When the news came that the Phe-
nix National Bank had failed, there was more
than the usual interest manifested, as that
hank is the New York correspondent of the
Traders National Of this city. Mr.. Edward
Gould, the cashier Of the Traders, said he
could hardly believe the report, as the Phenix
was very conservative institution. Mr.. VIM.
e. Gould, Cashier of the First National, tele-
graphed his correspondent in New York and
received the following answer at p. M:

House has settled all the trouble.

was that the failures would probably clear the
atmosphere, and once more put the business Of
this country on legitimate basis.

The Civ Of Por,lasa a.

The Rockland Courier says that the machin'
cry of the wrecked steamer will be saved, and
possibly the hull can be foated and beached,
and the copper upon it, worth some $500,
saved. Mr.. Hersey settles promptly for all
wreckage found. Fifteen of the twenty MISC
ing trunks have been found. Over thirty of
the forty bales OF cotton on board have also
been picked up. There were 2o4 cages of tin
bound to Eastport for coming purposes, which
can be saved in damaged condition. A
large quantity of other freight has also been
rescued, much of which can be used. The
wheel-house and wheel drifted off and were
found at Seal Cove. Singular TO relate, it
sustained no damage whatever, save the
breaking of the windows.
Yesterday, Mr.. John Englis, of the firm Of
John Englis & Son, the well know steamboat
builders, who constructed the Falmouth, ar
rived in town and is stopping at the Falmouth
Hotel. He met the International officers at
President Hersey's Office, and possibly his visit
may have reference to the new boat which the
company will build.
