AUGUSTA, Me, March 26.-Charles n.
Stain, who gave the information that
led to the arrest of the murdererS of
Cashier HarrOn, of the Dexter bank,
made Il full confession yesterday, in
which he implicated his father and
Oliver Cromwell in the Messenger mur
der, committed at Norfolk, Mass. 1t
was planned by Rufus Goldsmith, Crom-
we'll and his father, at the latter'S house,
in the fall of 1874. 1t was learned that
Messenger had large sum of money in
his possession, received from the sale of
some cattle. In his confession, young
Stain says: ''JuSt prior to the robbery,
by previous arrangement, the three met
in the woods, near Messengers house,
Which was four or five miles from fa-
theirs. | drove my father over
and Goldsmith SAID Messenger is
all alone and no one is around.
We have examined the premises and
they are clear for US" They started for
Messengers house about 9 o'clock in
the evening, father carrying Il valiSe
containing masks, DISCUSSES. revolvers
and full kit of burglars tools. About
IL o'clock they came back to where |
had been stationed, and we all drove
On W mcuiiclu III INC NdSoH. AIIlNlHS
home about 1880 Il. M, | overheard u
conversation between father Cromwell
and Goldsmith, in which father said
Messenger had the best grit OF any man
he ever saw. He would not tell where
his money was. They gagged him and
tortured him, but he would not reveal
the hiding place Of his money. Finally
they left him tied to a bedpOst and
gagged, where he was found dead next
morning. They found 81 800 in bureau
drawer, after hunting over an hour, and
took it away with them. Father and
Cromwell said they didn't care if the
old cuss did die. Goldsmith, so Stain
says, is at large, and is known to the
authOritiesas general crook and
counterfeiter. Goldsmith claimed tn
have been in Providence on the day Of
the murder.

SENATOR DAVIS RESOLUTION.

The GLOBE notes with a great zeal OF
satisfaction that, instead of attempting
to startIe the senate with the brilliancy
of his oratory, as his friends predicted
he would, Senator DAVIS is starting Off
in his senatorial career in practical,
business-like way, and with an eye Sill
gle to the interests of the section he rep
reSentS.
The resolution introduced by the SEN
ator yesterday is in the proper dlrec-
ton. He proposes to have congress
authorize the president to bring about
an understanding with the British au-
thorities whereby survey can be made
from Lake Superior, at the. mouth OF
Pigeon river, to the Lake of the Woods.
for the double purpose OF establishing
the correct international boundary line
and of promoting our commercial inter
ests by connecting all the waters of the
Northwest.
Senator DAVIS proposition is no
chimerical scheme. Its practicability
is not questioned by those familiar with
the country through which the pro-
posed survey is to be made. If his res
olution is adopted and the president
succeeds in inducing the British gov
ernment to act conformity with ours in
this matter, the probabilities are that
the results will be of stupendous I'M
portance to the Northwest.
If Senator DAVIS will just keep
ahead on the line he has started out on,
and will vote for the MILLS tariff bill
as he goes along, he will receive well

nation on whirlwind. In the mean-
time Mr.. CHII.DS and Chairman JONES
have their heads together devising
plan for manufacturing the whirlwlnd.
Whatever else may be the outcome OF

certain These three friends of Mr.
BLAINE are digging political grave for
him SO deep that he can never be resur-
rected from it. If Mr.. BLAINE really
has no designs on the Republican noml-
nation he ought to muzzle his friends,
because they are not only creating the
impression on the public mind that MI.
BLAINE is a dishonest man, but they
are doing a great injustice to other Re
publican presidential candidates. There
are SHERMAN, ALLISON. GRESHAM,
HARRISON, HISCOCK, and a score or
others quaking in their boots every time
BLAINE's name is mentioned. Relying
on Mr.. BIArNE's sincerity in declining
to be candidate, they have respectively
launched out their booms on uncertain
waters, and it is too bad to have them
tossed about in this reckless way.
1t is certain that if BLAINE wants the
nomination he can get it. If he doesn't
want it, and we are inclined to think he
does not. then his friends ought to quit
this silly gabble about an irresistible
storm sweeping over the convention
and carrying him into the nomination
