\ Fair Proposition as to a. Divi-
si0n of iile DelegatiOn.--The
i,eatI, OF Il Good Man.

Mr.. EDITOR: As the goat and
lamb have lain down together,
each ilnck should exercise the ul-
most good faith toward the other,
and heal for all time the unfortI-
nate breach now existing between
The two factions-cleanse both
Aocks III the same pool and make
Il selection based on deserts, re-
gardless of whether the delegates
are Cashmere goats or herino
sheep. I am reformer aud agree
With the forty; let our delegation
be composed of both goats and
sheep.
Who will be the candidates for
the convention from this county,
is question the people are begin
ming to ask with considerable an&-
iety. Now, there is no lack Of
material, and good material at
that; we have heard the names Of
various farmers proposed for the
convention and any of those pro-
posed would make acceptable del
egates, but II goodly number re-
fuse to enter the race; and so it is
with the lawyers, some of them
positively refuse lie allow their
names used and decline to be can
didates. The fact is, there seems
to be desire to have as few can
didates in the field as possible
and every means employed to
avoid a bitter or even a hot cam
paign.
suggest the following ticket,
and when they "git thar" they
mast behave themselves: B. R.
Tillman, J. C. Sheppard, R. B.
Watson, N. G.. Evans, H. H.
Townes, and J. B. Suddath.
Gentlemen will you kindly serve
us? County of Edgefeld, will you
not lay aside all prujudlce and
vote unanimously for this conserv-
ative-reform delegation?
H. H. Townes, without his con-
sent or knowledge, was last No
vember placed on the independent
ticket, but at his box on election
day, the day be first ascertained it,
be denounced the action of The
parties who did it, I am informed,
and publicly requested that he be
not voted for, and he aud his son
voted the regular Democratic tick
ct and cast their vote also for the
Constitutional Convention.
This section is.greatly grieved
over the death of Mr.. Joseph Thur
mond, man whose name wher-
ever known is the synonym of
honor and success-one of the
largest farmers on the west side,
and one of few men who made
money on negro labor. He accu-
mulated a handsome property AMI
proved himself an exception to the
rule that a liberal man cannot
become rich.
Affable, genial, and whole-soul-
ed J. VIM. Thurmond has been
amongst us recently. Scarcely had
he left when he was summoned,
together with his mother, to the
bedside of his dangerously sick
sister, Mrs. P. B. Whatley. Mrs.
Whatlev, altho' she has been very
near deaths door, is now conva-
lescing.

loose rock removed from the road, and

THE FEssENDEN CASE.
Fessenden and Proctor Said to be the Same
Man.

The Kennebec Journal says Secretary
Fessenden's prompt action in tracing
the forgeries of his name by the so-called
Nicholas Edwards Fessenden, to their
source has rid the state of rascal VINO
had all his plans laid for taking out OF
il good haul of stolen property. The
fellow who masquersaded under that
name is gone and is not likely to return.
But he took with aim SO far as learned,
only type writer and little additional
criminal experience, whereas he lacked
by few days, if all his plans had
worked, of carrying off, in furs, cloth
ing from Boston firm, possibly money
from the Bowdoinham railroad station,
and perhaps "swag"from Portland, prop
erty that would have represented more
than $1,000 in value.
There is little, If any, doubt that this
mans real name is George H. Proctor,
and that he as served time in prison
for burglary; also that be came to
Portland early IN the winter and made
that city his headq quarters, living there
under his real name.
The Journal then gives the PRESS
story of Proctor's doings while in this
city, and adds:
While in Portland Proctor called on
Chas P. Shaw. and tried to get employ
ment on the Maine Central. He may
then Lave appropriated some of the
Maine Central's stationery, for his first
letter to the Buffalo furrier was written
upon it. Secretary Fessenden has the
complete bundle of the letters, and they
are very interesting reading. They are
cunningly worded and skillfully writ
ten, especially those in which be cramps
his handwriting to resemble that OF a
woman. A little inspection reveals the
fact that they are all written by the
same hand with the exception of the
typewriter letter purporting to come
from Mr.. Boyd, which bore type writ
ten signature. They were not SO cum
ming, however, as not to arouse the sus-
picion of the Buffalo fur merchant, who
perhaps was more than usually cautious
owing to the size of the order. Proctor
had lived in Buffalo. and knew the firm
when it was Chase & Comstock, and
he also knew the residence of Comstock,
for one of the kilograms was sent to the
number and street of the residence. The
letter by which he first attempts to get
the confidence of the Buffalo firm comes
from W E. Baldwin, rajlroadscommission
er," introducing the proposition of send
ing the furs.
