Postmaster Marley, of Augusta, makes the fol-
lowing false statement:
'l10W long since was it that the Governor
and Council the Republican members Of the
Senate and House signed and forwarded to the

hlmailon a> supervisor of Internal Revenue :

and Bangor Wing both backed it. 1t became 50

Early in 1874 Mr. Manley was nominated Gy
President Grant, upon the recommendation Of
the Commissioner of Internal Revenlle and the
Secretary of the Treasury. Supervisor Of Inter
mai Revenue. His nomination Vas made upon
recommendation of his superior officers and
was based upon the record he had made AS an
Internal Revenue Agent. The position was an
important one and carried with ii a great deal
Of political patronage. 1t was made in the
midst OF the United States Senatorial campaign
and as Mr.. Maney was known to be an ardent
advocate Of The reelection of Hon. Hannibal
liamIn, his promotion was opposed by the
Portland Press and by some of the opponents of
Mr. Hamlin. Neither the Governor or the
Council, or the Republican members of the Sem
ate and House signed and forwarded to the
United States Senate formal protest against
his confirmation, nor did the present Governor
of the State, as Speaker of the House, sign it,
nor did the Bangor Wing back it. The state
ment is an absolute fal>ehood and the editor of
The New Age either is ignorant, which is his
misfortune, or prefers fal>ehood to truth. Mr..
Manley learning that his nomination was being
used against the reelection of Mr.. Uamlin. it
being alleged that he would use the patronage
of the office to aid Mr.. Hamlins reelection,
called upon Mr.. Hamlin and asked him 20 have
his name withdrawn. With characteristic
courage and fidelity Mr. Hamlin replied: You
were nominated because of the good record YOU
have made as Revenue Agent, and will stand
by you to the end if it costs me the Senatorship"
Mr.. Manley insisted upon the withdrawal of his
name, and at his request it was withdrawn.
Some years later, the Senate of the United
States unanimously confirmed him for one of
the most important Federal offices in New Eng
land.

PLENTY 10 EAT AND NOTHING TO DO AT AL
FRED. MISTAKEN VOTE OF THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS.
lBiddeford Journal.
We observe with no little surprise that the
county commissioners of the State at the con-
vention just closed in Augusta. recommended,
by very general vote,'' the adjustment of
the system of workshops connected with coun-
ty iails. Whether they propose any substitute
for it, or whether they believe the old system
of enforced dleness is the best thing for both
prisoners and taxpayers, does not appear. As
Jail workshops have thus far been established
in but four counties, Androscoggin Kennebec
Sagadahoc and Cumberland, the system cannot
be said TO have. been fully tested, and in alb
sence of no more definite reasons for its aboli-
ton than at present appear. we shall beg to
differ with the honorable commissioners, at
least. so far as York county is concerned. We
have long believed and are now firmly convinc-
ed, that the peculiar system of Jail economy in
force in this county should be radically chang
ed; that The best good of both prisoners and
freedmen in our domain would be greatly en-
HANGED by the establishment of Jail work
house somewhere within our county limits.
From time immemoral, ii has been law of
necessity a> well as a law of the State to order
the commiital to the Jail in Alfred of able bod-
ed men and women arrested for petty otfenses,
and keep them there i'll dlenesS from thirty
days to six months each. at the cash expense of
h e law-abiding taxpayers of the county.
While pursuing this course for long series of
years, under the deusion that we were severely
Furnishing the guilty law-breaker, we have in
fact simply been supporting and educating
class of inveterate bummers who have become
almost habltua pensioners on our county treas
ury. They are made up of WORKOUT drur kards,
lazy men of decayed moral sense, and ne'er-do-
wells who think it more honorable to borrow
without leave than to beg. Then. there are
persons who. having no fine sensibililies to be
shocked, actually go to Jail as a matter of pure
economy; they are principally rum-peddlers
and wife-beaters They argue the question this
way. IF can pay my fines and get free board
through hot summer or hard winter by lust
doing nothing at all. it will be money in nv
pocket Aud SO it will. Old jail habitues can
stand IA great deal of such punishment Indeed,
tc that class OF persons thirty days in jail is lit
Tie less than holiday season during which they
recruit their energies l>ted in debauchery
and crime, only TO return to their wallowng in
the mre. knowing that in due season they will
again be turned over to the very tender mer-
cie> Of Capt. Stevens. The sad fact ia connec-
ton with the foregoing is, that very large
percentage of these classes of culprils in this
country go from our two cities of Biddeford
and Saco. and as the record shows. their num-
beers are rapidly Increasing. The whole num-

A SUMMARY EXECUTION,

Captain Enstrom believed that the mutineers
ned. he had neither leg irons nor handouts
with which to secure prisoners, and so shot the
carpenter and steward where they stood. Then
he asked Toton and RefuS if they would turn to
and obey orders. They promised to do so and
their first duty was to heave the corpses of
their late comrades in rebellion overheard.
The five men worked the brigantine safely
into Brisbane. There the three surviving NUT

by the colonial authorities. The wounds of

to enter "A hospital. The last heard of him was

AN ANXIOUS TIME.

Capt. EnStrom and his mate, after battening
down the hatch. began taking in the top>alls
and the flying jib. When the mate went for
ward to the jib downhaul he found the sailor
Johanssen skulking behind the capstan armed
with capstan bar. Sylvaniu> covered Johans-
sen with his revolver and ordered him to sur
render. The captain came forward and began
to reproach Johan>sen, when the latter said he
had been coerced by the mutneels and was only
too willing to lend Il hand if the captain and
mate would trust him. They took him at his
word and he went to the wheel and thereafter
worked faithfully.
For four days the three worked the vessel
and then the captain and mate ossened the fore
hatch and, firing pistol into the hold, called
on the mutineers to tumble up on deck, to
throw down their weapons and surrender. The
mutineers came up one by one and were rang
ed in line on the port side of the ship. They
threw down their knives, but when asked for
the revolver muttered that they had lost 1t in
the hold
