The editor Of the Bainbiidge, Ga, Dem.
ocrat, in writing up his trips to Ohio in
1855 and 1889, after his arrival at John
sons Island says: 1.-THE prison ration
was one pound of fresh, light bread, and
third of pound of bacon, or twice that
quantity of fresh beef, and little sugar
and coffee per day. This was big eating
for the soldiers from Lees army, We
were In clover. Such had not been the
case there all the time, however. For a
long time the prisoners had been really
starved by the Government in retaliation
for alleged atrocities practiced on U. s..
prisoners at Andersonville and other
points in the Confederacy. Subsequent
history proves that the Confederate Gov
ernment fed the prisoners in Its hands as
well as its own soldiers in the field, but
the Yankees never would believe that the
rebels marched, fought and won battles on
pound of corn bread per day, with now
and then, when it could be got, a quarter
of pound of villainous Nassau bacon"
We do not think that any of General Lees
soldiers died from starvation while in
camp, but our soldiers did die while in
the pen at Andersonville by the thousands
as tie direct result of starvation. 1t is a
very difficult thing for an individual to
acknowledge the error Of his ways If he
has committed crime. He can always
color his side Of the story,

IT is but three weeks until the election,
and the indications are for decided Re-
publican victory.
Mr.. Campbell has not proven good
candidate for the Democracy; his nomi-
nation was opposed by the better element
Of his own party, but they were utterly
helpless to stem the tide against such
boodlers as Bernard, Brady, Dalton,
Cogan, Mullen, and others whose connec-
ton with the taIly.sheet forgers has made
them notorious throughout Ohio, and
many Democrat has already pronounced
against him, while large numbers are
luke.w arm in his support. In his speech
OF acceptance he expressed himself as
opposed to election boards for which Gov.
Foraker took him TO task. showing that
no honest man ought to be opposed 20 a
law which gave to each man the right to
vote once, (but only once) and have his
vote honestly counted, and that the boards
were non partisan. consisting Of Democrats
and Republicans alike. Mr.. Campbell found
he had taken an unpopular position on
that question and in his next speech found
fault with the class Of men appointed by
the Governor. OF course this was assail-
ing the character Of Democrats whom the
Governor had appointed on such boards
for which the Governor again called time
on him, as well as did many of his Demo-
cratic friends. In his next speech he said
il was not the boards or the men ap-
pointed that he was opposed to, but he
believed they ought 10 be elected by the
people. Gov Foraker again asked him
how could non.partisan board be
elected, II would be all Republican or all
Democratic, since which time we hear
very little from Mr.. Campbell on election
boards, only that the clerks are all Re-
publicans.
The Democrats cry against the third
term has fallen fiat, having no influence
on good thinking men of which the Re-
publican party is composed. That Gov.
Foraker has made one OF the best Cover.
nors Ohio ever had cannot be denied, and
we have only TO quote from the public
speeches Of such men as Major Mckinley
Gen. Sherman, Grosvernor, Foster, and
others Of our most prominent men In Ohio
With such candidate, why should W,
not be victorious at the coming election
thereby leaving the administration Of
state affairs In the same good hand where
II has been for the past four years'

THE propriety Of removing General
Grants remains TO some more congeDial spot
is being agitated in the papers. It Is now
evident that the proprietors Of Riverside
Park expected to create boom in real
estate In that vicinity when they granted
permission for the Generals remains TO
rest there, but they soon discovered that
the people did not care to invest In one
corner Of a grave yard for site to erect a
domicile. Geaeral Grants remains should
have been inferred ut Galens. ILL.,, or In

ACCORDING to the enabling act passed by
Congress at its last session, North and
South Dakota, Washington and Montana
became States on the first OF October In
the elections on that day the constitutions
framed by the recent conventions, were
adopted, with subsidiary changes which
had been left to apopular vote. Prohi-
bition and woman suffrage are defeated in
Washington, and South Dakota rejects the
minority representation scheme. The
liquor men were particularly unfortunate.
Thinking their cause safe in North Dakota,
they concentrated their iorceson its south
ern neighbor and namesake, with the re-
suit that prohibition is carried in both
states. The States Of North and South
Dakota and Washington went decisively
Republican, while Montana is so close al
TO leave the result still in dispute. In
South Dakota the question Of the location
OF the capital was the overshadowint
issue. Votes for prohibition and votes fo
party were freely traded with partisan
of this or that aspiring city, fortunately no
to such an extent as to prove fatal to thu
temperance cause, Pierre finally captured
the prize. In Montana noteworth,
feature was the trial of the Australian
system of balloting, which was found t.
be entirely free from the cumbrous ant
tardy features which were feared. The
result in Congress will be an accession o
at least six Republican Senators and fiv'
Representatives When Il Is remembered
that the roll OF the House at present stand
1874 Republicans, 161 Democrats, the i'm
portance ofthis addition will be seen
though the Republicans will have at bes
but eight, and II they lose Montana, bu
six msjority.-ADvANoE.

MuRAT HALsTEAD Of the Cincinnati Com.
mercial Gazette made a serious charge
against candidate Campbell on the Demo.
cratic ticket, about using his position
while IN Congressto further his own inter.
eas. Campbell denied ilat once, but the
evidence appeared to be so plair that
there appeared to be no doubt Of his guilt
But last week the matter exploded In
very shor. order when II was ascertained
that Mr.. Campbell's name had been placed
on the so.called document by forger.
When this was ascertained Mr.. Halstead
wrote to Mr.. Campbell making a complete
retractlon, which sets Mr.. Campbell right
before the world, so far as the ballot box
Is concerned. The forger has fed 70
Canada, and we hope that he will soon be
brought TO justice. Governor Foraker
made use Of the ballot box matter on the
stump AGAINST his competitor as he sup
posed he had right 10 do 50, but when
he found out II 70 be a false statement, he
too, at once recalled as far as possible
what he had said.

On Friday, Mr.. Eben Sawyer and daugh-
ter Mrs. Frank Brown of Baldwin Cum
berland CO., who have been the past week
visiting Mrs. l. y. Salisbury, their niece
and cousin, returned home.
Mr. l. n Salisbury and relatives have re-
ceiyed the sad and truly shocking intelli-
gence, that Everett, the son of brother,
Mr.. Frank Salisbury, formerly of Lamoine,
was, with another young man, burned to
death, in a camp in which they slept while
working in a mill at Brush Greek, Butte
Co. California The young man was res
cued from window and vas conscious
long enough to state that all he knew of
the facts was that having retired first, he
was awakened long enough to see Everett
with his candle in his hand as he came up
to bed, they sleeping in the upper part and
together We learn the young man died
shortly after.
Quite a number of our citizens took ad-
vantage of Capt. Winterbotham's liberal
reduction of price on the fine ferry boat,
and attended the Hancock Baptist Associa-
ton at Salsbury's Cove, which, by the way,
was very interesting session. The un-
limited hospitality of the citizens of Eden,
will long be remembered, especially by
those who on account OF the storm were
detained till Friday The Lord loveth
the cheerful giver."
On Saturday morning as Mr.. G. w.
Young was milking valuable young COW,
she commenced to be uneasy and kick, and
looking to see if it was not flies that dis
turbed her, the COW fell over dead 1t Is
supposed that an overfeeding of green
corn squash. &C, may have been the cause,
as she was previously in good health.
On Monday Capt. J. H. Bragdon, whose
vessel. the John F. Coolidge was recent
ly launched at Milbridge, and has been
loaded at the quarry at Somesville for New
York, left for Somesville expecting to sail
at high water.
On Sunday. at O'Clock, p. NJ, Rev. F.

tical sermon in our district school-house
