In spite OF the attacks make On Gen
eral Grant by portion Of the press,
it is har.l to believe that in the recent
Ward-Grant smash-up, the great
American hero figured in any other
capacity than as Il victim. 1t should
require pretty strong evidence to
prove implicitly in fraud On the part
of a man who few years ago was the
foremost citizen Of the world.

POOR GEN. EAGAN.
The Reported DOWNFALL OF Brave Volunteer


"Y0u have, indeed. fallen low was the sad
remark Of Justice Scion B. Smith at the Tonbs
yesterday To an aged man, who showed every
indication of tramp.
For Gods sake forgive me, Sol = pleaded
the man. Liquor has been my curse. For 10
years have been its slave. But from this day
forth | viii be a changed man. I viii quit
drinking and make solemn vow that not an
other drop Of that poison VIII pass my lips
again"
1t has now such a strong hold upon you
that you couldn't stop il if you tried ever so
hard, remarked the judge. 4And, besides,
where could you go? You have no home your
wife wont recognize you any more and your
friends pass by with horror and disgust"
We'll, what of that2" said the prisoner. q
can live on forty millions can't /? What need
care for them2"
Forty millions? Why you haven't got
forty cents" said Justice Smith.
i tell you, Sol. / have i"
" How did you become possessed Of it9"
why, Pve earned it, 10 besure. Where else
do yen think?"
Drinking has somewhat unbalanced your
mind and I'll change the complaint against you
into insanity" said the Court. You viii be
better treated in an asylum than in the work
house. Officer, remove him.
Please, Judge, will you let another officer
take him." said Court Officer Maurice Finn,
whose eyes were filed with tears.
Why can't you?" said the Justice IN q tone
of surprise.
He was my general IN the war, your Honor"
said Finn, and he was so kind to me that I
don't like to repay him in this way. though 1
know it is done for his good. he treated the
men who fought under him as he would his
brothers. 1t is sad for me, sir, to see my Old
dear commander in such position as this, and
/ and others will see that lie is properly cared
for at the asylum
The man was none other than Brig.-Gen.
Thomas W Eagan, who fought in the battle OF
Gettysburg under Gen Meade, and was parti-
eipant of almost every battle at that time. At
the close of the war he was made an internal
revenue officer.
EGen. Abner Doubleday, in his account Of
the battle of Gettysburg Up. 1861, says: He
tGen. Ward, of Birney's division. Sickle's
corps attempted to strengthen his force at the
Devils Den, by detaching the Goth Pa. from
his right, and although De TrObriand (eom-
handing Third Brig had no troops to spare,
he was directed By Gen Birney to send the
10th n. Y Third Brig, under Col Eagan, TO
re-enforce that flank. Eagan arrived too late
to perform the duty assigned him, as Ward
had been already driven back, bat not too late
to make gallant charge upon the rebel adj

At the recent Maine Department Convention,
an account of which appeared in our last issue,
the eligibility question was taken up and
tabled, as 1t was thought the National COnyen-
tion would definitely decide that at an early
day. The Lewiston ladies came to the meeting
instructed to vote against the admission Of
loyal ladies. They are so strong in num-
beTs, and their Post is also strong and have q
large relief fund, so that they feel they do not
need outside help. But the President, Mrs.
A. G. GeteheIl, is a lady Of intelligence and
culture, and while she spoke earnestly on her
side Of the question, gave others careful
hearing. The meeting throughout was very
pleasant and we think they have elected
good board OF Department officers.

we're in the city today. They, in accordance
with vote passed at the last session of the
Governor and Council, visited the farms of
John Smith and Lemuel Rolf at Dcering,
Joshua l.. Whitehouse at West Falmouth,
James L. West and James l.. Pierce at Fal-
mouth. These farms contain all the cattle
in that section infected with the foot and
mouth disease. In the evening the Governor
and the committee of the council held a
meeting at the Falmouth Hotel for the pur-
pose of looking up the law and see what
liability there should be growing out of the
damage and see what expense there would be
incurred by the State in taking care of the
disease. Locke and Bolster were appointed a
subcommittee to look up the law and report
at the next meeting of the Governor and
Council All express satisfaction at the ar
rangement taken to prevent the spread of the
disease. They found that 43 head on the
farms mentioned above had been infected
but only eight are now sick, though all
are in quarantine.
