IMPORTED LABOR.
Congressional Investigation Committee at
Boston.
superintendent of Poor Mr. wrightln-
ton Testities before the Board.

BosroS, Aug. 27.
The congressional investigation committee
commenced its investigation here today. Mr..
Wrighdnton Superintendent of Poor testi-
fed that for % years he had tine supervision.
of emigrsnts landed in this port. During
the year ending June S0062.
The increase in lunacy in the State he
thought was due to immigration. Fifty-sev-
en- paupers had been stopped at this port
during the year and 46 others believed to
have been imported under contract. Fully
250 paupers brought here by immi-
grants assisted by the Take Society have been
sent back, Much trouble was caused by the
Prussisn Jews, the worst class of emigrants
Steamship companies may encourage the
emigration of paupers, but it was difficult 10
prove the intellectual superiority of emgrants
Of the present day over those of several years
ago is marked, but the greater proportion of
the former require more relief than those of
previous years. The present law is not suf-
ticient TO operate on this side. There should
b. eagents in ports across the water. The
only way to stop contract labor is by impos.
ing duties which will make it too expensive.
Col. Louis Montgomery was the first wit
ness at the afternoon session. He testified
that he was special agent of the lst special
treasury district. Ii was the custom of alien
fishermen coming into Massachusetts TO
seek employment and the cutsom had be-
come common. The proportion of aliens TO
the whole number of persons engaged in
the fishing industry was 70 per cent and
principally from the provinces. They will
work for less than Americans and American
fishermen are SO scarce that the owners are
compelled to hire them. These men work
on shares and are paid in United States
money and then return to their native coun-
try. On many of these vessels the captains
are aliens. obtaining their licenses by subter-
fuge and the witness had some suits now in
progress growing out of such cases.
The commission here adjourned until to-
morrow.

REvENGE,
The Gardiner Boys satiats Themselves
at the Expense OF the Augusta.

A very large crowd turned out yesterday
to see the Augustus ''mop up" the GARDENERS.
They saw some ''moppings done but not jus,
of the kind they looked for. If revenge
is sweet" the Garliners. will have no craving
for confectionery for some time. The Au-
gustas put up a .rneky game,
Davis and Webster did the battery work
for Gardiner. Davis pitched well while
Webster's catching has never been excelled
on these grounds. Ferdy and McManus
started in as Augusts's battery, but the for
mer was very wild and gave way to Under
wood in the fifth inning, The features of
the game were the battery work of the Gar
diners and and the batting of Freeman aud
Small for the Augustus. Wednesday the
Augustus play the Lowells, the champions of
the New England league. They will have
Small and Rogers for battery and will en-
deavor to show the large crowd that will
be present thar they have not for
gotten how to play stiff game of ball. Be
low is the tabulated score:

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Hon. II. NJ Heath made ringing speech
on the tariff at Mt. Vernon Saturday even
ing
Col. w. c. Pummer of Dakota, and Hon.
James Morrison of Phillips, addressed a
large audience in Vaughan's hall, at Strong,
Saturday evening, notwithstanding the show
er. The speakers dwelt mainly upon the
tariff and the enthusiastic applause which
greeted their telling points showed that the
audience appreciated their remarks. The
republicans will show large gains in Frank
lin county this fall Hon. w. l.. Daggett
presided at the meeting.
There was a largely attended and enthusi-
astic flag raising at Athens Saturday. Ad-
dresses were made by Mr.. Stckney of Ath-
ems, and Hon. l.. II. Webb. The ware band
furnished some excellent music. A large
home choir sang some appropriate selections.
The people in this section are not admirers
of democratic free trade. The republicans
will make handsome gains here this fall.
There was an enthusiastic republican rally
at Rangely Friday night. The people turned
out in spite of pouring rain and filled the
hall. The speakers were Col. W. c. Plum
mer and Hon. James Morrison. Both con-
fined their remarks principally to the tariff

A Deserved Compliment

Mr.. l.. G. Trott of Boston, the Publisher
papers in New England, was present at the
recent races at Capital Park and pays the
Park and the management the following high
compliment.
The Park is located nearly in front of
the Capitol and on the field where many of
the Maine regimets were encamped during
the war. Across the Kennebec is the Unit
ed States Arsenal and the grounds of the
Maine Insane Asylum. Back from the State
House rises a majestic hill to such an alti-
tude that in in New Hampshire it would be
there are numerous springs, the water of
which is equal to the best known in Maine,
and is so pronounced by the State Assayer.
To the attractions must be added the charm
of rich agricultural country well titled and
as green and fresh as in June. All this is
viewed directly from the track. The buildings
and fences are all new and well appointed.
The grand stand will seat about twelve hun
dred people.
The Association is most liberal with its
patrons, the horsemen, furnishing straw, hay
and grain free during the time the horses
are here. Large and comfortable stalls
have been built. The track is considered by
men well qualified TO judge, one of the best
and fastest in the State. The footingi is easy
and not inclined to be cuppy. Nelson is
here with fine stations, one of them--,lat
most remarkable stallion-Nelson 2.2l IA.
Mr.. Nelson is doing all in his power to make
this meeting and the Park Association enter
prise a success.
Then followed description of the races
covering several columns which has already
been published it length in the Journal Mr..
Trott but voices the sentiment of the large
number of horsemen who were present at
these races.

MILLS ANXIOUS.
His Stock in Trade DWindlins Away.
and How they Fared In
the House and Senate


Especial to Kennebec Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27
Representative Mills. who has been absent
some days making democratic free trade
speeches, is wild over the discovery made
while he was away that the appropriations
for the current fiscal year have nearly wiped
out his principal stock in trade, the lawful
treasury surplus He spent nearly whole
day with Secretary Fairchild figuring to find
some way to keep the surplus. To increase
his agitation he was informed by the secre-
tary that the receipts of the governme Mt
from custom duties had fallen So 900 200
below the estimates during the past four
months He found that few million dol
lars might be saved by having the House re-
fuse to agree to certain Senate amendments
to the appropriation bills still unacted upon,
but as the most of these amendments are in
the nature of appropriations that are neces-
sary, he hesiiates about trying to get the
House to reject them for fear of losing votes
for his party. In company with Secretary
Fairchld he then called on Cleveland and
had conference lasting nearly half the
night. What, if anything, was agreed upon
at that conference has not transpired.
Owing to the great interest manifested in
the financial status of the government for
the present fiscal year. the following state
ment has been prepared at the treasury de.
partment in regard TO appropriations for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1852, made at
the present session of Congress in the regu-
lar appropriation bills

Rev. DR.. Griffis, of Boston, Sabbath
evening, in the Congregationalist Church,
gave an interesting and valuable lecture on
Corea, its history, language and religion,
and showed in what way it was recently
opened to the world and what are the reasons
to hope that this nation of fifteen millions of
people may advance on the lines of Christian
civilization. The striking tribute he paid to
the nine French Catholic missionary priests
who voluntarily gave their own lives rather
than betray their converts to death, showed
that he is no bigot DR.. Grifis thinks that
Cores is a promising field for missionary
labors. He has written and publiehed val
liable book on that country.
