| census of the city taken in the night time
showed that it had population of only SO,
900, a census taken in the daytime during
working hours gave it population of more
than 10000 1t was upon this basis that
representation should be accorded. But the
ministry took the other side of the question,
affirming that numerically the city of London
was entitled to butone representative, but,
out of sentimental considerations, this num-
ber had been increased to two, which was as
far as the government would go. London
seems to be about as well represented in Par
Lament as New Haven is in the legislature.
t'He was stranger and he took us in" re-
marks the Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle con-
cerning Henry Varley, the English evangel-
list, who was invited by the 'tevangelical''
ministers of Augusta, Georgia, to visit that
city and conduct series of union revival
meetings. He accepted the invitation. His
sermons filed the largest churches in the
city, and the Augustans were delight
ed with him. ''Efad he confined him
self to Bible teaching and scriptural ques-
tions,'' says the Chronicle, ''his mission
LHlRns nave euueu DIS auSplclously dS 11 Oc-
gan" But Mr.. Varley presently preached a
sermon in which he "adverted to slavery
and the colered neople in a manner that was
SO offensive that several ladies and gentlemen
in the congregation left the church" The
incident became the topic of the town. There
was talk of 'tdenouncing" him in the public
press. Some of the more fiery spirits were
even for ''instituting other pronounced
measures to procure his Immediate depart
ure.'' They were restrained, however; and
the evangelical pastors endeavored to dis
suade Mr.. Varley from repeating his indis-
cretion. The effort was failure, though,
and, when they shut their pulpits to him, he
went on preaching in the colored churches.

GENERAL LAWToN,s CASE.

The case of General Alexander R. Lawton,
whose nomination as minister to Russia has
been withdrawn by President Cleveland, is
an interesting one. In executive session
Senator Edmunds objected to his confrma-
ton on the ground that his political dis
abilities had never been removed To this
the Georgia senators replied that he had re-
ceived full pardon from President johnson
in 1867. Senator Edmunds insisted that this
did not remove his political disabilities. He
quoted section of the Fourteenth amend
ment. The portions which he held to apply
to this case are as follows: ''No person shall
hold any Office under the United States who,
having previously taken oath as an officer
of the United States to support the constitu-
tion of the United States, shall lave engaged
in insurrection and rebel against the same,
or given aid and comfort to the enemies
thereof. But Congress may, by vote OF
thirds of each house, remove such dis
ability" Then the Georgia senators con-
tended that General Lawton had never taken
an oath to support the constitution of the
United States; that the oath he took was a
mere oath of allegiance. But the Rspu blicsns
seemed determined to defeat confirmation,
so the nomination was withdrawn.
The statement that this nomination was
reported adversely by the Senate Cemmitte g
on Foreign Relations seems to have been in
correct. The committee, it is now said
simply reported the nomination back to the
Senate with the facts in the case, but with
out recommendation. Before reporting the
nomination the committee privately intima-
that General Lawton was ineligible, for the
purpose of afording an opportunity for the
presentation of any opinions which the adj
ministration might entertain upon the sub
ject, or for the withdrawal of tho nomination
the desire of the committee being to avoid
the necessity of making an adverse report if
possible. By the course taken by the com
mittee and the Senate opportunity was
left for the future removal of General Law
toms disabilities, if any were found to exist,
or for his appointment during the recess of
the Senate, if, upon investigation, it should
be found that he was eligible. Had he been
rejected by the Senate he could not have
been renominsted to the position or sppoint
ed during the recess.
It does not seem necessary for the Presi-
dent to appoint anybody to represent this
country abroad who is not yet clear of the
rebellion, or about whose position there is
any doubt. This incident will furnish the
occasion for a good deal of criticism.

you cannot pull them apart.
They are very excellent goods,
and have the advantage of being
reversible, the back being made
with a smooth sateen-likc finish.
There are many grades on the

have a good line of new colors

PALM ER'S
LIVER PILLS.

We doubt if there ever has been placed
on the market, such Perfect and Effective
Liver Pills for the cure of Biliousness.
Bilious, Sick and Nervous Headaches,
Chronic Constipation, Dyspepsia, Mala-
ria, Chills and Fever, Dizziness, Distress
After Eating, Bad Taste in the Mouth.

preston of Spirits; Purifying, Enriching

I have never found in all my practice,
any Liver Pills of SO great value as Palm
-er's Liver Pills for the treatment of Bilious
ness, Bilious Headache, Malaria, Liver
Complaint, Chronic Constipation and all
disorders caused by bilious state of the
system. They are entirely unlike all
other Pills, and are marvel to all who
use them. DIR. 1. S. MILLER.
These Pills are not Quack or Pat
ent Medicine, but have great Medicinal
Virtue and Power. So eminently sue
cessfuI have they been, that our best
physicians and most worthy citizens furn-
ish us with testimonials of cures effected,
which seem miraculous and would hardly
be believed were it not for the abundance
of proof and its unquestionable reliability.
Ask for Palmer's Liver Pills, and if
your druggist does not keep them, don't
allow him to put off on you any other
Pills that contain Mercury or Morphine,
which they say will answer equally as
well, but insist upon taking no other but
Palmer's and your druggist will get them
for you.

tend to show that torpedoes are not sufficient
for the defense of fortified places against iron
clad vessels of the first class, has recently
been conducted by the italian naval authori-

of the Italia so far resisted the explosive
powers of torpedoes that although her steel
plates were displaced and bent and the water
entered her compartments she maintained
her position.

Republican State Committee.

From Bangor Wing and Courier of Jan %. !
The Republican State Committee met at
Augusta last evening and organized bv the
election of Hon. J. II Manley as chair
man Hon. Geo. G. Wing, Of Auburn,
declined a reelection, after having rem
dered the party most conspicuous and val
liable service in the campaign recently
closed, in which Maine made a magnificent
record under his leadership. In the selec-
ton of his successor the committee has
shown admirable Judgment. The cam
paign in Maine in 1886 will be an exciting
one. The democrats, encouraged by the
accident which gave them their President,
will make vigorous contest for suprem-
acv in this State, while the republicans on
their part will not be satisfied with simply
defeating their opponents. but mean to make
the victory one that will be significant of
the great republican triumph to follow in
1888. In order to do this the party needs
a cool and able leader, a good organizer,
one who is capable of planning and carry
ing through successfully an aggressive
campaign. Such leader the party will
find in Mr.. Marley, and we therefore con-
gratu ate the republicans of Maine upon
the suspicious organization of the State
Committee. We are also pleased to note
that Hon. John L. Cutler, who ably repre-
sented Penobscot County on tie committee
in the last election, has been reelected
member of the Executive Committee.
