Gentlemen Who WohhIe.

TIE resolve to repair the capitol went
through the Senate yesterday as was ex-
pected. The vote In favor of it disclosed
quite as many remarkable conversions as
was the case 10 the House. Thus, on the
9th day of January Senator Sargent who
yesterday voted to keep the capitol at Angus
ia, said in reply to this question, "How would
you like to see the capitol removed to Port
land:"l
81 would hold up both hands for It, From Han
cock county we could go TO Portland In less time
and for less expense than is required TO come
here to Augusta. And when we should get To
for room, and the prices for sustenance and shell
Yer would be more moderate. You could put the
ZSo souls attracted by session like this into
Portland without knowing it, whereas there is
great cOmmotion in Augusta when thew arrive
large number of business men who either are
business before committees, have business IN
Portland. Were the capital In the great CONNER
cial city Of the State they could do their business
with greater ease. Portland is always accessible
from all parts Of the State. Augusta is not. al
though the Maine ne Central y remedying the dc.
feet somewhat by running the Legislative train"
Senator Rand who voted yesterday In favor
Of keeping the capitol at Augusta, on the
same day, In answer to the same question,
said:
al should like to see 1t moved and Portland is
business centre Of the State, has the accommoda-
tons and is in all respects first class city for the
capital q a State like Maine. l am In favor Of
Senator Sleeper whose name also appears
In favor Of Augusta, said:
Eyes, want TO see 1t moved. think II should
De In some other place."
Even the affection Of Senator Collins for
Augusta is of recent date, for on January Q
he said:
81 should like to see the capital in some bright
er, smarter place II we are to have such long ad-
Journments. think the time is not very far dis
tant when IL will be in Portland. Think Should
vote TO have it there"
Senator Nickels ON the 9th of January
was real mad apparently and expressed him
selfin this fashion:
Move 1t out Of Augusta anyway. Augusta is
too hard TO get TO, and has too few accommoda-
tons when you get there"
Senator Nckels now votes to keep 1t in
Augusta.
Senator :Burrill, who yesterday voted to
keep the capital at.Augusta indefinitely, on
January 10 was of very different mind,
for he said:
81 think that the State capitol should be moved
out OF this town at the earliest possible moment.
Portland the great metropolis Of the State. Per
ssonaly should rather see II In Bangor, but pre-
Ter Portland next"
Senator Hill In January thought 1t ought
70 DC moved, but yesterday he had changed
his mind.

unaef1ook to do for the above gentlemen
what not one Of them attempted to do for
nimsei, reconcile their January declare.

In charging the grand jury. Judge Cum
ningham, Of Conway county, Arkansas,
alluding to the assassination of Mr.. Clayton,
uttered these brave words: Political assas-
sinations do not originate from men In the
humber walks Of life, but from some fine
haired gentlemen who pretend to be respect
able, and they are the men we are after.
They tell yon 1t is politics, Democratic poll
tics. l have been fiattering myself that l
was Democrat, but / must have been mis-
taken. would just as lief punish Demo-
cratic murderer as any other. want to ap-
peal to you as Democrats to punish crime
whether the criminal be a Democrat or not
and II you always do that the Democracy
will rule the country. You must stop this
ballot box stealing and force and fraud or
yuur property will not be worth the paper
the title is written on. The meanest man in
the county is the professional politician.
They try to scare you with the idea of negro
domination. What does the law say? 1t
says that they may vote. The rights of citi-
zens must be protected. / would have at
every little precinct in the country free
ballos and fair count. The law guarantees
to every American protection. The question
is not, Is he Democrat or Republican, a
black man or white man, but is he an
American citizen? and his rights must be
protected on election day as on every other
day." Had every Southern State a few as
brave and independent men as Judge Cum
bingham we should hear little Of political
persecution or fraud at the ballot box in that
section.

The Arrest Of the Tough

10 Me Editor OF The Press:
May / be allowed to crave small space in
your paper to correct an article beaded "a
Hard Fellow to Handle" in your issue of
this Tuesday morning, which is misleading,
not being the facts of the case. and in justice
to myself, therein stigmatized as "a bare
headed man came pushing and putting
through the crowd with the air of a person
OF unquestioned and supreme authority. and
demanded that the officers use their prisoner
more gently" And af forwards as "the man
who had come putting through the crowd"
ETC., and finally stating that ''the man made
threats, however" and ''it would have been
the proper thing If the officers, without any
words. had arrested this man on the spot,
handcuffed him. and sent him to the lookup
for interfering with an arrest
l consider did not exceed the duty of any
humane and good citizen, as there are lots Of
witnesses TO prove that the officers used ex-
IRENE and unnecessary force and cruelty
with the prisoner referred to, and after he
had been handcuffed and was helpless, and
especially Officer Hussey choking the man
until he was nearly smothered, which proba-
| bly, would have been the result had not re-
monstrated with him, which did in a very
| quiet manner, and only after the prisoner
was In the van, and still being strangled,

ing the prisoner was gently tapped on the
arm, whilst In the van and requested that as
he had his prisoner under complete control
he should desist using such harsh measures
and stop choking him Immediately, or ]
would report him, he thereupOn released his
vice like grip on the mans throat whereup.

To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
Among the many wise suggestions of our
worthy Mayor, notice one which seems to
me otherwise. / refer to the recommends
tion that the name Of ::"Market Square" be
changed by official act to Monument
Square," Why change it? Market Square
is shorter, fully as musical and easy to
speak as Monument Square; and besides
the name Market has the prior right there.
We need not be ashamed to follow the
example of older and larger cities. Boston
for instance which sticks to its old fashioned
names for her parks and squares though
many OF them are no more euphenious or
elegant than our Market Square. Hay
market Square retains the same name
throughout all its Improvements and addi-
lions. Dock Square was not changed to
sam Adams Square" when the statue Of
that illustrious patriot was placed there.
Scollay Square is Scollay Square still not
withstanding the statue of Winthrop occu-
pies the site Of the old ''Scolay building D
30 let us build the Soldiers and Sailors
there.

Her Only Brother. Translated from the
German. portland: Loring, Short d Har-
mon) This is we'll told tale Of German
lie and manners and embodying much that
is quaint and picturesque. The personages
introduced are not numerous, but Of marked
individuality. and the parts they play In the
development of the story admirably consls-
tent throughout In spite of the mistaken
self-denial of the sister and the intrigues of
her only brothers frivolous wife, she is united
to her faithful lover before we take leave
of her. The loss Of this brother is large
part Of the pathos of the story, but for its
pr incipal heroine all's well because it ends
well.
The pilgrimage to Germany and sojourn
there for month or years is the dream of not
few who will find In this and many sim.
liar volumes much to familiarize their minds
with scenes and modes which they fondly
hope will one day be as well known to them
as the customs of their native land.
CHM & Company, who made their first
reputation as publishers by an admirable
series of text books in the classics, seem now
bent on attaining still higher rank by text
books in mathematics and physics. They
have recently issued a second edition of Pro-
lessor Byerly's excellent treatise on the
Integral Calculus. Seven years use of the
first edition has proved its practical value /;
and In this enlarged and improved form it
will be found even more valuable than be-
fore, both to students and to working mathe-
maticians.
They have also just published a new
treatise on Plane Analytical Geometry by
Professor John d. Runkle of the TECHNOLOGY
cal Institute in which the fruit of MANY
years practical teaching is embodied In a
very neat, clear. Ineligible book full of ad-
mirable examples; and treating equations of
the first and second degree in an unusually
complete manner.
CHM & Co. have also just brought ont q
volume of $50 pages on General Astronomy

happy combination of literature and sci
ence,-as readable. in those portions which

but increases the compression of facts and

for use in colleges and scientific schools, Blu,

interest in the Oldest, most venerable and
sublime Of the physical sciences.

The advocates of the prohibitory amend
ment submitted by the Massachusetts legis-
latare are preparing to make very earnest
fight in its behalf. Col E. II. Haskell,
chairman of the Prohibition Campaign Com
mite. tells the Boston Herald, that the or
ganization of the prohibition sentiment of
the State is being rapidly pushed, and taking
practical shape for effective work. Special
attention will be paid to the thorough prepa-
ration of literature, which will have for its
chief purpose the demonstrating, by abun-
dant facts and data. the efficacy of the prohi-
bition principle and the fallacies so gener-
ally prevalent as to the working of high
license. Special effort will be made to cover
every point and argument which may be
necessary to show that high license does
not restrict the sale of intoxicating liquor, or
abate the evil of drunkenness. The cam
paign is to be made in every sense non
partisan and noL-sectarian one, and is to
have the hearty support Of number who,
until recently, were advocates Of the license
system,
