Maine Veterans in massachusetts.
BosToN, Sept. 4th, 1888.

DOSION5 CtpI. fIu3 1000.
To the Editor Of the Press:
The veteran soldiers and sailors in eonnec-
ton with the Grand Army Posts of the De-
partment of Massachusetts, last night con-
cluded two days eneampment and gather
ing at the Point of Pines, a noted seaside re-
sort The attendance yesterday was i'm
mense although many Posts were not repre-
sented by any organized delegations.
was reminded Of my native State Of
Maine by the fine appearance of Hiram G.
Berry Post and the more significant fact
that the Maine Veterans were present in
large numbers. 1t would be difficult to find
a Grand Army Post here without some
Maine soldiers in its ranks.
Independent of all these the Maine Veter-
ans in this State have an organization OF
their own, which is in a flourishing condi-
tion. Col Francis S. Hesseltine, the presi-
dent, is one of the leading lawyers of Boston,
and his elegant offices at No. 10 TremontSt.,
are frequently graced by the presence of Wis
iting veterans from Maine, and a cordial
greeting is always ready for them. Under
Col Hesseltine's able management the assO-
citation promises to attain still greater pros
perity, as he is not only man Oflfne admin
istrative ability, but popular and forcible
public speaker.
What struck me the most forcible on yes
terday-and it may have been true of the
night before-was the alarming prevalence
of drunkenness among the Grand Army men,
even to the commanders Of Posts. 1t was
universally conceded-and with deep regret
that there was more drunkenness yester-
day than during the entire week in Portland
Now this may have been the result of the alb
senee of open bar-rooms in Portland (al-
though the boys could get drinks or the re-
straining influence of a purpose not to dis
grace the order at the National Eneampment
At all events, take it as a compliment to
Portland, and the general good order that
prevailed there during the encampment.
One lesson was learned yesterday, and l
| think it will bring forth good fruit. The
next annual gathering will hardly be held at
a hotel with an open bar and every appli-
anee necessary to tempt the veterans to a
too free indulgence in intoxicating drinks.
| The better class of Grand Army men were
so disgusted with the scenes of yesterday-in
and out of the ranks-that they will hardly
countenance a repetition of them next year.

LONDON, Sept. S,-The examination of Mr..
Stead, editor of the Pail Mali Gazette, Mrs.
Jarrett, Bramwell, Mrs. Booth. .Coombs Mr..
Jaques, and Mrs. Maury, the defendant in
the Eliza Armstrong abduction case, was re-
sumed in the Bow street police court this
morning. Mrs. Jarrett, at the opening Of
the court, began to cry. Mrs. Armstrong,
the mother of Eliza, testified that Mrs. JAR
rett obtained her daughter from her on plea
of needing the child to assist in the house
work of her home. The witness secuted the
idea that she knew anything of the charac-
ter of Mrs. Jarrett other than was represen-
ted by the prisoner herself, that she was a
woman of respectabilityl and denied in the
most emphatic manner that she had sold her
daughter for immoral purposes. Eliza Arm
strong was cross-examined, and said that her
father mother and six children lived in one
room. She admitted that with the except
ion of the indignltieS referred to In her teStl-
mony yesterday her abductors had treated
her kindly.
Eliza on her cross-eXamination frequently
contradicted herself, and her evidence con-
fiicted with that of her mother. She con-
fessed that she did not go to sleep when the

Mrs. Armstrong was cross-eXamined. She
was bold and defiant, and vulgarly abused
Mrs Jarrett and Mrs Russell. The witness
admitted that she had been three times fined
for being drunk, once for assault and once

The movement to elect Hon. VIM.
M. Evarts to the senate from New
York is assuming extraordinary pro-
portions. Petitions to the legisla-
ture are springing up all over the state,
and the fact is unmistakable that tie
great body of the republicans of New
York, and in fact of the country, are
for him. Notwithstanding all this,
he may not win. Many of the poll
ticians are against him, and his pin
cipal opponent, Minister Morton, has
great wealth to back him. 1t is great
ly to.the credit of Mr.. Depew that he
will not be candidate and favors
Evarts. 1t looks now as if it would
be Evarts or Morton, and the choice
will be made inside of two weeks.

GENERAL GRANT AND THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Every patriotic American ought to
resent the depreciatory and insulting
things which find utterance in some
quarters with reference to General
Grant. What has happened during
the last twenty years to cancel the
debt of gratitude which this nation
owes to the man who led her armies
to victory? Twice he has been called
to the Presidency, and in answering
those calls he relinquished the military
rank, the retention of which would
have provided amply for his old age.
But he made mistakes as president
Very true; what president does not?
And how could it be reasonably ex-
pected that q man whose training and
achievements had been in the field of
arms should prove completely success
full in the field of craftsmanship? His
mistakes reflected on his Judgment,
but never on his character. Retiring
from the presidency, he made tour
of the world, receiving everywhere
the honors due to the greatest soldier
of his time, and coming home with {
mind broadened and we'll stored
with the fruits of his experiences
Settling down then to private life, hs

From what we can learn of the
state of feeling in Orleans county it
would seem as if large majority of
the citizens were in a state of rebel
lion over the decision of the commit
tee in locating the county buildings
at Newport. One enraged CORE
spondent thinks it will be necessary
for the towns of Greensboro, Glover,
Barton and Westmore to seek Gale
donna county, Craftsbury, Albany,
and Lowell, Lamoille county, and if
that cannot be then re-map the state.

justice over error and the BARTON

verdict is an outrage. We shall sec
