TITE PEEBS. S SATURDAY MORNING, DEC. 2, 1871^ th Wh»« A”*0,,,,, f ne Has any one heard of the Delnocrat wll° wi favors “the passive policy,” and who, at the same time, acknowledges the incorrectness of to the opinions which he consents to waive for J certain purposes that are well understood? 1 Who knows a Democrat, “passive” or other wise, who has become an advocate of the L fourteenth amendment? Would a reward oi 0| $500 each lead to the discovery of more than ,r ascore in the whole country who are willing s; to look upon the fifteenth amendment kas a ci finality—a measure which, if they had the tl power, they would not instantly overthrow c Where is the Conservative of the non-resistr ant school, who does not now, as ever, re- 1 gard the reconstruction acts and their execu- e tion by the use of a military force as a piece s of tyranny and usurpation only equalled by the worst acts of the most corrupt and wicked of the Caesars Nay, the pre- gress of liberal opinion among Conservatives i has been so slow that there can hardly be found a member of that party in good stand- f ing who does not to-day as on the 4th of Ju- 1 ly, 1863, believe in his heart that a great i wrong was done the South in meeting its ex- hibitions of righteous indignation by an ap peal to arms. There are none who are at length willing to recognize the negro’s civil and political equality and his l ight to social toleration. It is not pretended that there is anything more in the “passive policy” than a 1 nA«nn4inn nf ootivo pffnrtB tn f Via great body of liberal legislation passed since the war by denying its validity and ignoring its provisions. The speakers and the jour nals that advocate the new movement openly disclaim any other purpose in giving up resist ance than the foxy one of gaining a position thereby which will enable them to resist with some effect. “Let us once get back to the White House,” say they, “and we can soon find means to overthrow the amendments and the civil rights bill by the use of the executive machinery. A few months of silence—then triumph!” How does this differ from the “passive pol icy” of a burglar who is conveyed bound and handcuffed, but unrepentant, to prison f The Democracy, as a party, had many things not to be thankful for Thursday,and not the least of these was the last letter of John Quincy Adams. The old guard doubtless wish a plague to this new convert and most brilliant letter writer in America if he per sists in declaring the party beaten a year be fore election. Mr. Adams sees but two ways to defeat Gen. Grant’s election in 1872—the disbanding of the Democratic party, by sub duing the pride of the party and breaking the bonds of party discipline, or a resort to civil war The latter has been tried once by the Democratic party but with indifferent suc cess. It looks as though Mr. Adams would succeed Frank Blair as the “enfant terrible’’ of the Democracy. It is said that the advocates of State aid to railroads do not propose to move for a direct subsidy, as this would involve an amendment of the Constitution, which there can be no hone of effecting' but. t.hev will make a sitren uous effort before the Legislature to secure such an enactment as will make the State guaran tee the interest on a specified amount of bonds issued by the companies. There may be a difference but ordinary people cannot see it. A Washington special says it is officially announced that Secretary Fish will retire from the Cabinet at once, and that Judge Pierrepont of New York, will be his succes sor. Secretary Fish has continued at the head of the State Department the past six months on the entreaty of the President. Fridat gold dropped to 110J, the lowest rate since April 13th. The highest rate this year was 115f, which it reached Sept. 23d. The lowest rate since the close of the rebel lion was 110, which was the price November 4,1810. _ Notwithstanding the unusual calls upon the treasury during the month of November, Secretary Boutwell reports a decrease or the national debt amounting to $3,462,080.18. The amount of the reduction since the inaug uration of President Grant is $211,211,892.10. Boston had a water panic Friday morning, caused by the freezing up of the screens at the mouths of the mains in the gate-house at the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. The supply in the city gave out at 3 o’clock in the morning, but at a late hour in the evening a moderate supply of Cochituate was received again. Religion* Intelligence. The York and Cumberland Association of Universalists will hold their next meeting at the India street church in this city Thursday and Friday Dec. 14th and 15th.

Pending the installation of Mr. Day, the society will be reg ularly supplied by clergymen in the Universal ist denomination. The M. E. church at Naples is enjoying some revival. Four persons were recently baptized, and three added to the church. Their house of worship has been painted the past season and some other necessary repairs have been made. An embarrassing church debt is nearly liquid ated, much to the satisfaction of all. The Methodists of Garland are agitating the question of building a new church. It is esti mated that such a structure as they think of erecting will cost about $2000. Over $1500 have already been subscribed. A Sunday School Teachers’ Institute will be held at Norway, on Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 19th and 20th, at the Congregational church. The organization of the Sunday School Insti tute for Somerset county was made on the 14tli of November at the Baptist church at Skowlie aan, by the election of Itev. II. Pierce as Presi dent, and Dr. W. H. Stevens as Secretary. The Sunday School Institute for Cumberland county wiH be held at North Yarmouth Janu ary 23d and 24th. That for York county will, probably, bo held at Alfred on the 25th and 26th of January., Nearly the requisite amount of funds neces sary to complete the Baptist church in Belfast has been raised and the work' on the building has been contracted for. The ladies of Gouldsboro, have purchased and had placed in the tower of the new church, —not yet finished—a fine-toned composition bell weighiing 800 pounds. Eev.

George Jackson, a graduate of Oberlin who has been preaching in Michigan, is to have charge of the Congregational church at Kobbinston for one year, Seven persons were admitted into the Wash ington street Baptist church at Eastport, at the last communion service. Several others are about to unite with that church. Kev C G Harwood, formerly of Bluehill, is pastor. The Bridgton News states that Kev. A. Lin coln of New Bedford, Mass., who has of late been supplying the Harrison and North Bridg ton Congregational pulpits, has gone back there, for the purpose, it is said, of removing his family and goods to Bridgton. The Advance gays that when furniture was piled up in the Chicago churches, pew-cushious converted into beds, and “loaves of bread took the place of hymn-books and Bibles," “it was j one of the holiest acts of consecration."

No new commissions re 11 be issued until this debt is covered, fonatlian Welch, who died recently at Gro 1, Vt., left his real estate, valued at $12,000, d< the benefit of the Baptist Church, of which a] was a member. The Broadway Tabernacle Church and Socie- Jj. have invited the Rev, William Taylor, of h verpool, England, who occupied the pulpit h the Rev. Hr. Storrs, of Brooklyn, last sum- c, er, to accept the pastorate vacant by the re- h 'nation of the Rev. Dr, Thompson. The so- e: ety give a salary of $9,000 a year, and will pay ic expenses of Mr. Taylor’s voyage to this j mntry. Dr. Manning, Roman Archbishop of Eng- 0 ind, publiclv teaches that, ill the matter of s location, “England has a right to Anglican, ,Gotland to Presbyterian, and Ireland to Catho- ic, education.” On this principle says the a jeiv York Observer, we could settle the ques- r ion very easily in this country, where the Ro- I lanists are in a small minority, but claim to ave the right to dictate in this matter. t If all Ministers had the plainness of utter nee of Father Hennessy', (Roman Catholic) of iergen city, N. J., the cause of temperance i rould be greatly advanced. In a reoeut sermon ie said: “I am going to get a list of all grog shop and in place proprietors, and if they don’t close i heir houses every Saturday night at twelve i ’clock, and not open them until Monday, I rill not allow themselves nor their vives to come near the altar. They must ;ive up their unholy work. Let them be coii eut with selling groceries. It is better to make ifty cents a day honestly and justly, with the ilessing of God upon it, than ten dollars a day vith the curse of God upon it. Remember that ;he money gained in this dirty work will not profit you long. It will vanish like the froth an the river. You are carrying souls to de itruction and ruin; you are robbing the widow and orphan, the poor and needy. Cease, cease your work, then, and resolve to get an honest and decent living. The Unitarians report encouraging progress in the collection of their $100,000 fund. The returns are not qll yn but the Liberal Chris :ian says “that. *«*liss some strong and wealthy smirches tan lamentably m tlieir duty, there seems every reason to believe that the maxi mum of $100,000 will be reached. Eev. A. Coquerel collected in this country about $9,000, in aid of his church, schools, and charities in Paris. He would have done better, but the Chicago fire burned over his harvest ground. Statistics of the Congregational churches of California for the last year: Ministers 59; churches 57, eight having been organized and threo extinguished during the year; members 2,481, .of whom 385 were added during the year, 140 by profession and 239 by letter; Sunday schools 53, with 5,603 members, Amount raised for current expenses, $57,026; for church erection, etc., $39,529; for charities, $0,220.— The reported value of church property is $286, 850, and the debts $19,671, which last item is certainly greatly to the credit of California. A Narrow Escape.—Mr. Greeley had a narrow escape to-day, and it happened in this wise. He booked his name at the Indian Head and after making a call upon some friends i£ turned for dinner. On calling for his bill he was invited to “register.” Supposing that the clerk was unfamiliar with his chirograpliy, he replied that he had done so. The clerk insist ed that he had not; II. G. insisted that he had. Whether the matter under any circumstances, would have reached the dangerous stage of “you lie, sir,” we cannot say, but luckily the philosopher inquired the name of the hotel.— When informed that he had dined at the Merri mac House, he paid his bill, registered and “smiled” as he explained his mistake to mine host who felt quite elated that he had hand somely entertained so distinguished a guest unawares.— Nashua Telegraph, 19tft. Items. A New Albany bride “skedaddled” from the church when the groom was about to lead her to the altar, and vanished down the street. No cards. Andrew Jackson Davis, it is said, proposes to write a book on insanity; and judging from some of the productions of his pen, that is his “best holt.” A vnnno woman in Pliiliuiolnhia wti/i 1..1 been divorced twice, and is somewhat noted for her beauty of the brunette type, recently mar ried her third husband, a flaxen-headed strip ling of seventeen. It is related that four murderers in Russia were recently placed, by way of experiment, in four beds in which cholera patients had lain. They did not know the character of the beds, and did not take the disease. They wore, then compelled to sleep In new and clean beds, which thoy were led to believe had been occu pied by persons who had died of cholera, when three of them died within four hours. The story is told of a negro who prayed earn estly that he and his colored brethren might be preserved from what he called their "upset tin, sins” “Brudder,” said one of his friends at the close of the meeting, “you ain’t got the hang of dat ar word. It’s besettin’, not «ip settiu’.” “Brudder,’ replied the other, “if dat’s so it’s so. But I was praying de Lord to save us from the sin of intoxication, and if dat ain’t a upsettin’ sin, I dunno what am.” STATE NEWS. ANDROSCOGGIN COUNTY.

Potter of North Bridgton, informs the Bridgton News that last winter he cut down an oak tree on his place which measured six feet across the stump, and from which he obtained five cords of wood. He remembers distinctly when the tree was no larger round than his arm. “Tall oaks from little acorns grow.” The News says the Bridgton Academy is to be re-opened Feb. 27, 1872, under the care of a popular teacher from Massachusetts, of expe rience and distinguished ability. The Bridgton News says the Pondicherry Mills continue in full operation. These mills emnlov from seventy to oicrhtv h„n,l« ufacture shawls, ladies’ cloakings, rei>ellauts,&c. The manufacture of repellants has been their chief business since June last, but they are now changing to the production of other goods, among which is a neat looking summer tweed, which particular kind they are for the first time manufacturing. Mrs, Charles O. Kilborn of Bridgton posses ses a turkey which sat on nineteen eggs and hatched out nineteen turkeys, all of which are. alive and pecking, says the News. FBANKLXN COUNTY. The Chronicle in alluding to the caution given by the Kutland Herald againt one Bev. Swan ton Banks, a Methodist minister, who is col lecting money in different parts of New Eng land, ostensibly for Freedmeu’s schools, says' “If memory serves us, this‘apostle of tliefreed men’ spoke in Farmington sometime during last spring, aud received a liberal collection."

Yes, a million of men, to say nothing of the ladies, know by experience that Chrlstadoro’s Excelsior Hair Dye produces shades of color that seem to have been brought out by nature herself. They know, too, that it is free from all injurious matter, because they have used it for years, and thus tested it by a process more certain than even chemical analysis itself. In fact, the daily experience of multitudes of both sexes, con firms the declaration of the first analytical chemist in America, that the Excelsior dye contains “nothing deleterious to health.” A good dressing should be used after the dyeing, and the best is CHRISTADORO’S HAIR PRESERVATIVE. nov29-eodlm W48-50 BOYS LITTLE DREAM.

During the year that I occupied the Japan Tea Store, ending Nov. 1, I retailed 1000 bbls. of flour; 400 consecutive barrels without the return of a single one, and only 14 bbls. were returned during the entire year. This unusual success was largely owing to the quality of flour selected, and partly in the manner which it wa* sold, and that was to recommend it precisely what it would prove to be. This will bo my future course. My flour, will all be bought from first hands direct, which will enable me to retail it at the lowest whole sale prices. As 1 have a record of every barrel of flour previously soM, and the purchaser’s name, by reference to which I can judge very nearly what grade of flour will suit the same customer. Very truly, W. H.
