A Tardy Defense.


Among the speakers at the Jacksonian BAN
quot in Boston, Friday, were Ex-Gov. Garcelon
and the Hon. John w. Deering. The former $
speech was practically repetition of the speech
he has made annually at gathering of some
kind ever since the winter Of 1879. 1t was de-
fence Of the count-ont. The Ex-Governor con-
tended that the council was governed in all it did
that winter by strict regard for the constitution
and the laws, and expressed himself as ready
and anxious to appear before any tribunal which
would like to listen to him and defend it. The
Ex-Governor has already appeared before one
tribunal and attempted to do that very thing
but with very poor success, as the Democratic
members Of it, after listening to his explanation
could not find one exculpatory word to say o
the transaction in their renOrt.

There is decided feeling of antipathy
between ex-governor Curtin and secreta-
ty Bayard which is said to date back to the
time when Curtin was the war-Governor
Of Pennsylvania and sent troops into Del
eware to protect the DUPONT Powder
works, from destruction. This animosi
ty 1t is said, was the cause of Congress-
man Curtin being rotated from the Chair
manship of the Foreign Committee by
Congressman Belmont.

General Sherman denies the report that

he said If Gen. c. F. Smith had lived
Gen. Grant would have been eclipsed by
his superior abilities and would never
have been known to the world as a great
commander. An exchange says that Gen.
Gardner who was mastering officers In
Maine during the war madI the remark.
There is something of difference be.
tween Sherman and Gardiner, as to the
value Of their opinions on Military mat

The provision of the statutes relative
to fees received by the Secretary of
State and the Attorney General of the
state are not the same, the Eastern argus
to the contrary Notwithstanding. There
is specific provision that the Secretary
Of State shall settle with the Governor
and Council annually, in December, for
all fees received In the Office and pay the
same into the treasury. There is no such
provision In regard to the fees received
by the Attorney General.

The Deal Trade In ST. John.

The first shipment of deals from st, John,
says Mr.. Lawrence in his footprints" was to
Cork. in 1872, in the schooner Amerlia, Capt.
Spencer, by Il. Hamlin, Son < Co. They were
cut by hand. A modest beginning, certainly, hut
the opening Of business which has grown enor-
mously, and at the end Of over sixty years con-
tinues tc be the great industry Of the country.
The shipments from st. John to transatlantic
ports last year were smaller than the shipments
in any year since 1879 when the figures were
about the same-one hundred and tifty-two mil
lion feet. Alexander Gibson the Nashwaak
lumber king, leads all others in the magnitude
Of his shipments, having sent abroad during 1883
over scventy-stycn million feet. w. NJ. McCay
comes next with twenty-five millions, while X.
A. K J. Stewart rank third with twenty millions.
The shipments of 1884 were 1874 ,S29, S25.

are constantly being made. A force of
$50 hands, male and female, Is employed.

As long as the world stands and there
Is the country and the town, there will
continue to be discussion as to which is
the most desirable place to live. Some
of the local papers of the State arc reviv-
ing the discussion just now. To my mind
its most absurd thing to lay awake
nights over. Both the town and the
country have their advantages as well as
their drawbacks. The fact is the town
was made for one class of individuals
and the country is kept in its rural sim
plicity for the abode of another class of
individuals. To be sure the classes get
mixed somewhat and then there Is trouble,
as for instance when man who was cut
out for first rate farmer tries to be
second rate merchant or a good wide
awake trader tries to get rich on farm
and finds that his turnips cost dollar
each and other crops In proportion. There
is a sort of sociablity IN small coun-
try village or even where there Is no vii
lage which is entirely wanting in Il city
be 1t ever so small. This social life be-
gets good morals, cheerful living and a.
a rule broad and liberal views of Ii in
general. City life too often begets just
the opposite of thu Sc. TO the average
observer 1t would seem that the country
was the most desirable place to rear chill
dren no matter what their distinction
Is to be in after life. The greater
of our great men were born and
reared In the country and most of them
IF humble parentage. Some one has re-
marked that God made the country and
nan made the town"

The Kennebec Journal says: One of
the busiest and most valuable men In con-
Quoting the business of the late Reunion
was Hon. +. C. Burleigh, State Treasurer.
Though not conspicuous in the crowd, he
was employed day and night in quietly at
tending to the financial concerns entrust-
ed to his hands. His detailed report of
the receipts and expenditures, published
in another column, Is an exact statement
of every dollar which he received, and the
manner In which it was expended.

Some one who ought to know better
than do asked me the other day if did
not think that the railroads were slowly
but surely getting the people into their
power. Well must confess it does look
so at times but then times change and
people are getting more liberal and not
80 captious Of their right. A law that
Expresses any one at once becomes so OBJ
noxcious that If not repealed it is allowed
to become dead letter. | have known
Judges of our courts who were so careful
to uphold the dignity of their courts that
they would imprison a witness who dis
Obeyed summons to court. But that Is
all gone now. The other day half dozen
men in Portland disrcgarded a summons.
When taken before his Honor they ench
Of them had different excuse for their
disobedience. One thought 1t was too
stormy, another was busy and still an
other said he heard court was adjourned
Think of the result If such excuses
had been given in the United States
court in the days of Judge Fox! But
nothing dire was melted out to them. So
it was in Somerset county the other day
when witness refused to accept wit
ness fee when summoned and a deputy
sheriff had to ride two days to overtakc
him and bring him into court The wit
ness fee he refused to take was stolen
and he was not even reprimandcd. The
same lberality exists In medicine as veil
as In gospel. 1t seems to be an era of
more freedom.

The result, of course, was gratifying to
the Democrats, but was received with no
boisterous demonstrations. The eathus-
iasm was over in an hour. All felt hat a
days work had been done, and well done.
Again, the true inwardness of yester-
days contest; the real reason why
in the Second ward Underwood was
showed under yesterday, was because
the Republicans revolted against their bos-
ses. This defeat means their retirement
from power, and none know this fact
better than the bosses themselves. All
honor then to the Republicans who aided
in the election of Moroney, Whitcomban
Murray. Their action was a singing
rebuke to their party leaders, the effect of
which, may or may not teach them a
lesson, all depending upon their capacity
TO learn.
