Democratic Harmony y

A special despatch published in the
Portland Argus in regard to the meeting
of the democratic State committee held in
this city, on the 9th inst, is rather con-
fusng 10 the average reader The writer
starts off with the announcement that the
meeting held was the most harmonious
tor some time" mo discussions" he
says, "of any kind arose" Near the
close of his despatch he adds: 1.-The re-
ports from the various counties were en-
couraging in the extreme. and the SEES
sions OF the gathering were declared to
have been most successful and harmoni-
the best meetings of the State committee
they ever attended"
SO far everything was lovely" in the
democratic wigwam and the goose hung
high" All were harmonious and happy.
But upon examining the despatch farther
and carefully we find that it contradicts
itself and discloses state of feeling in the
meeting quite the opposite of "harmo-
NOUS" rs regards the management of the
party After one of his glowing senten-
ces upon "harmOnv," the writer saws
"While expressions Of dislike in regard to
certain appointments to federal Offices in
Maine Were occaSion0llV WiCred, the feel
ing was general that the President and
heads of departments at Washington had
been HariSe(V ddriScd by men pretending
to represent the democratic party of
Maine. :" etc. Who uttered these expires
sions of dislike" and who are the demo-
Gratis in Maine that "unwiselv advised
the President. and pretended "to represent
the democratic party of Maine P" 1t is
plain to outsiders that this language
means that some persons received blow
at the meeting, and that there was more
bitterness than harmony among those who
delivered it,
Farther along the writer discloses more
of the existence and workings of this
same spirit. He says "A resolution WAS
adopted instructing the Sta.e committee
to inform the heads of departments at
Washington that Mr.. J. p. Bass of Ban
gor did in no wise represent the wishes
or desires OF the democratic party OF
Maine. and that his course in attacking
the appointments of democrats was caus-
ing discord and dissension in the party
and should be looked upon with dstrust
by all good democrats.
The adoption of a resolution like this
signifies that the Simon Brown faction
succeeded in crushing Mr.. Bass of Bangor
in committee 1t would require a pow
erlul microscope to discern the least ind-
cation OF 'harmoay" in the passage OF
such resolution. Its real Specification is
that there is trouble in the democratic
wigwam. and that it will become greater
instead OF less as time roll, on. Mr..
Brown got his triumph in committee by
hard work. and Mr.. Bass will turn the
tables on Brown later and have his VIC
tory Notwithstanding the Argus re-
porter's glowing description of the "har-
monious" meeting of the committee the
little which he discoses of the true in
wardness" of the gathering has sinister
look for the democracy OF Maine.

The Blair Educational Bill.
SPEECH OF SENATOR HALE IN FAVOR OF THE
ALLISON AMENpMENr.

The alarming extent of iliterscy in the
South has properly attracted the attention of
the country aud Congress TO the means by
which it may be diminished. The Blair bill,
proposing to appropriate MANY millions for
the education of illiterste children all over
the country. is intended to benefit the South
much more than the North, as a much larger
proportion of its population. black and white,
belong to the so-cslled illiterste class. Dis
cussion has arisen as to the right and power of
Congress, under the constitution, TO make the
appropriation called for. but this question
seems TO have been satisfactorily answered in
the affirmative. The great defect in the bill
is the mode of application and division of the
fund, its proposition being to distribute it
