high station, together with some confi-
dence in the continuance of your good
will, and in that of the state at large,
lnclines me to ask that my name be once
more considered as tnat of candidate
for the Senate.
"The country has been in no such
peril since the rebels fired on Fort
Sumter. The same forces and interests
and men, or their children, control the
government now which ruled before the
war. Cheap labor and free trade with
nations whose people are in the chains
of poverty will reproduce substantial
slavery here, both white and black, and
spread it all over the country. Cotton
is again king.
"Three-fifths OF the cotton is sold
abroad; under free trade nearly all
would soon go there. and the South de-
mands free trade that she may receive
in exchange the cheaper products of
half-paid toil-thus destroying our
Northern industries or reducing our
people to the level of her own and the
laborers of foreign lands. Only those
who live like slaves work for the
wages of slaves.
Ignorance at the South is the secret
Gf all this. Until there is. universal in
telligence there is no constituency any
where to which reason can appeal. Inc
process has already cost us more than
the whole period of the Rebellion, and
we shall not fully recover for many
years of come.
NO ignorant people ever yet received
good pay, and in the end general intelll-
gence will overcome all the institutions
of arbitrary power.
= "The crisis is above party. 1t is war
for our homes. The whole people must
arouse. Young men, this is now your
country. Above all appeal to you.
"The recent elections, which are the
manifest work of the gods visibly de-
stroying those who, it is self-evident, are
politically mad, demonstrate that there
is now an opportunity to carry New
Hampshire by 10000 Republican majori-
ty. Let US do that and choose the
Senator afterwards,n

The Case of f. d. Chase.

Boston, March 81. Edgar D. Chase,
who was arrested last night ON the
charge of forgery, was taken to police
headquarters this forenoon, and after
ward his picture was taken for the
rogues' gallery. Although the evidence
against the man is alleged to be strong,
Chase does not seem to thoroughly real
ize his position and takes matters calm
ly. He is the son of Captain Chase of
Augusta, Me-, we'll known lecturer on
the Civil War, and also member of the
militia of that place.
Boston is not the on y city that he has
operated in, but it is alleged that he has
also numerous victims in New York and
other large cities. In court today,
Chase's case was continued until Mon
day.

SEAlERS IN PERIL.
Thousands of Men in Danger of Being
Crushed in the Ice

st. Johns, N.F., March 21.-A terrible
northeast gale visited the coast of
this island last night and caused
immense damage i'll ST. Johns Many
new houses were blown down and several
other buildings partly unroofed. The
whole coast of Conception Bay was swept
by the storm. Many villages were de-
yastated and large section of railway
line flooded. The wires are down in all
northern localities and it is impossible
to learn the extent OF the damage done.
The worst feature of the storm is that
the seal fishery is now in progress and
twenty-five steamers with between six
and eight thousand men were hunting
seals right in the centre of the storm
area. 1t is feared the effect upon them
will be very serious. Much anxiety will
be felt until the steamers can be heard
from as the ice foes may crush them.

strike occurred here several years ago,
memb of the union were paid regu-
lar stipend of Sc week. About six

Threats in Paterson.
Paterson, N j., March 21.-The strike
of silk workers of this city is spreading
so rapidly that before the end of the
weekaaH the mills will be forced to
close.
A bout 20, 600 persons will be thrown out
of work. A number of anarchists from
New York have crept into the ranks of
the strikers here and are melting the
men to violence. One of these urged the
men to burn the mills if they did not
get the wages they demanded. He de-
clared they owned the mills JusG as
much as the manufacturers, as their
work had built them up.
More trou BILE is feared among the dy-
ers. The police were called upon twice
Yesterday to queli disturbances at the
dyeworks of Jacob Weidmann at River
side. When Weidmann took on his
hands after the strike week ago he
signaled out the ring-leaders and refused
to take them back. These men have
since been spending their time between a
corner saloon and the dye-works, inti-
midating the men at work and threaten
ing to kill them unless they strike.

AIDED BY EUROPEANS.
Evidence Found Among the Papers of the
Brazilian Insurgents.

Brazilian Insurgents.
Rio de Janeiro, March 21.-The Portu-
guese warships on which Da Cana and
his officers took refuge were permitted
to leave the harbor only under the ex-
press stipulation imposed by the
Brazilian government that Da Cana and
his officers shall remain on board the
ships until the governments of Portugal
and Brazil have settled the question as
to their ultimate destination. The action
of the Portuguese naval officers who pro-
tected Da Cana and his officers has
reused strong feeling of indignation in
official as we'll as civil circles. 1t is
known that President Peixoto is in
possession of documents OF the utmost
Importance as showing that aid was
systematically given the insurgents by
the officers of other European vessels.

found, however. The reporter asked
him if the advices from Washington
were that the President had made up his

was no need of the committee coming.
Mr.. Ives said: ''There was no intima-
ton in the dispatch as to the acrlon the

pictures of Ex-Governor John Ireland, oil

and written the following verses concerning

"oId Tige" has heard the csnnons roar,
And breathed the sulph'fous afr, '
Where tn earth was layed in human gore,
And scores were dying there.
He bravely faced the lannon's mouth.
And like Spartan brave,
Dealt lusty blows down in the South
The long Lost Cause" 10 save.
He met the clash OF FURNISHED Steel
And heard the whiz of lead,
Not knowing when he too might feel
bullet through his head.
He heard the shells unhallowed sonnd,
And saw the lannon's blaze;
Though murd'rous hail was screaming round
He met II face to face
No crash OF iron nor flash of gun,
Though fired by deadly foes.
Could make the gallant Tiger run,
ASail nEeatinp knows
His cause was lost few laurels won
By Southern soldiers brave.
With broken sword and empty gun,
Some i'll an unknown grave.
But Uncle John" came out all right
And is hero still:
He's always right and quick to fight:
Don't dare his iron will
He laid his lrgsty rife down.
His sword IL in It's sheath
For him there is a noble crown,
Awaits him after death. ~
Though poets eulogize his name
And write in metre well.
The story OF his well-earned fame,
viii not his merit tell.
