We see it on TV, we get calls on the phone
By the prophets of doom, they won't leave us alone.
The planet is dying and there's no time to spare.
They spend all our days sowing seeds of despair.
We get enough bad news to harden our hearts.
This fear that we feed on is what's keeping us apart.
To say that we're doomed is just an obvious remark.
And it don't make you right, it just keeps you in the dark.
I don't want to live angry, I don't want to live scared.
I don't need no more prophets crying "brother beware."
just put some work in my hands and give me a dollar to spare.
And don't let me sow those seeds of despair.
Well, this earth is a graveyard, it will swallow our bones.
It was here long before us, It will be here when we're gone.
And it's a vain generation that looks for a sign.
Don't you think we could make better use of our time.
Yeah, the air could be cleaner and the water could too.
But what we do to each other are the worst things that we do.
And we can treasure our freedom behind our locked doors.
But God speed the day when we're lonely no more.
I don't want to live angry, I don't want to live scared.
I don't need no more prophets crying "brother beware."
just put some work in my hands and give me a dollar to spare.
And don't let me sow those seeds of despair.

Adyen SDK for iOS
With Adyen SDK you can help your shoppers pay with a payment method of their choice, selected from a dynamically generated list of available payment methods. Method availability is based on shoppers’ location, transaction currency, and transaction amount.
You can integrate the SDK in two ways: either make use of the default UI components and flows preconfigured by Adyen (Quick integration), or implement your own UI and checkout experience (Custom integration).
Installation
Use CocoaPods to integrate the Adyen SDK into your project. For this, add the following line to your Podfile and run pod install
.
pod 'Adyen'
Quick integration
If you want to quickly integrate with Adyen, use the default UI elements that we provide for selecting payment methods, entering payment details, and completing a payment.
For this, instantiate CheckoutViewController
, present it in your app, and implement the CheckoutViewControllerDelegate
protocol for callbacks. All UI interactions are handled by Adyen.
let viewController = CheckoutViewController(delegate: self)
present(viewController, animated: true)
The following CheckoutViewControllerDelegate
methods should be implemented:
- checkoutViewController:requiresPaymentDataForToken:completion:
This method requires you to fetch payment data from your server and pass it to the completion
handler. Upon receiving valid payment data, the SDK will present a list of available payment methods.
For your convenience, we provide a demo server. You can find information on setting up your own server here.
- checkoutViewController:requiresReturnURL:
This method will be called if a selected payment method requires user authentication outside of your app environment (in a web browser, native banking app, etc.). Upon payment authorisation, your app will be reopened using the application(_:open:options:)
callback of UIApplicationDelegate
. The URL used to open your app should be passed to the completion handler.
- checkoutViewController:didFinishWith:
This method will provide you with the result of the completed payment request (authorised, refused, etc.).
For implementation details, refer to the Quick integration guide.
Custom integration
With custom integration you will have full control over the payment flow and will be able to implement your own unique checkout experience.
This approach requires instantiating and starting a PaymentRequest
and implementing the PaymentRequestDelegate
protocol for callbacks. The PaymentRequestDelegate
callbacks will provide you with a list of available payment methods, the URL for payment methods that require an external flow, and the result of payment processing.
For implementation details, refer to the Custom integration guide.
Examples
You can find examples of both quick and custom integrations in the Examples folder of this repository.

Felixstowe Book Festival returns for a seventh year from 27 - 30 June. Its wide-ranging programme includes several events for children and young people at Felixstowe Library.
The children's events kick off on Friday 28 June with the launch of Felixstowe.docs, an anthology of poetry and short stories written by young people from Felixstowe Academy about their town. The project was facilitated by our BLOC youth arts programme and steered by Felixstowe-born Young Adult author Hayley Young.
Children aged 9+ can also meet author and Suffolk librarian Sophie Green, who will be talking about her debut novel, Potkin and Stubbs on Saturday 29 June.
A full list of Felixstowe Book Festival children's events at the library follows.

Apache Flink 1.11 has released many exciting new features, including many developments in Flink SQL which is evolving at a fast pace. This article takes a closer look at how to quickly build streaming applications with Flink SQL from a practical point of view.
In the following sections, we describe how to integrate Kafka, MySQL, Elasticsearch, and Kibana with Flink SQL to analyze e-commerce user behavior in real-time. All exercises in this blogpost are performed in the Flink SQL CLI, and the entire process uses standard SQL syntax, without a single line of Java/Scala code or IDE installation. The final result of this demo is shown in the following figure:
Preparation
Prepare a Linux or MacOS computer with Docker installed.
Starting the Demo Environment
The components required in this demo are all managed in containers, so we will use docker-compose
to start them. First, download the docker-compose.yml
file that defines the demo environment, for example by running the following commands:
mkdir flink-sql-demo; cd flink-sql-demo;
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wuchong/flink-sql-demo/v1.11-EN/docker-compose.yml
The Docker Compose environment consists of the following containers:
- Flink SQL CLI: used to submit queries and visualize their results.
- Flink Cluster: a Flink JobManager and a Flink TaskManager container to execute queries.
- MySQL: MySQL 5.7 and a pre-populated
category
table in the database. Thecategory
table will be joined with data in Kafka to enrich the real-time data. - Kafka: mainly used as a data source. The DataGen component automatically writes data into a Kafka topic.
- Zookeeper: this component is required by Kafka.
- Elasticsearch: mainly used as a data sink.
- Kibana: used to visualize the data in Elasticsearch.
- DataGen: the data generator. After the container is started, user behavior data is automatically generated and sent to the Kafka topic. By default, 2000 data entries are generated each second for about 1.5 hours. You can modify DataGen’s
speedup
parameter indocker-compose.yml
to adjust the generation rate (which takes effect after Docker Compose is restarted).
Note Before starting the containers, we recommend configuring Docker so that sufficient resources are available and the environment does not become unresponsive. We suggest running Docker at 3-4 GB memory and 3-4 CPU cores.
To start all containers, run the following command in the directory that contains the docker-compose.yml
file.
docker-compose up -d
This command automatically starts all the containers defined in the Docker Compose configuration in a detached mode. Run docker ps
to check whether the 9 containers are running properly. You can also visit http://localhost:5601/ to see if Kibana is running normally.
Don’t forget to run the following command to stop all containers after you finished the tutorial:
docker-compose down
Entering the Flink SQL CLI client
To enter the SQL CLI client run:
docker-compose exec sql-client ./sql-client.sh
The command starts the SQL CLI client in the container. You should see the welcome screen of the CLI client.
Creating a Kafka table using DDL
The DataGen container continuously writes events into the Kafka user_behavior
topic. This data contains the user behavior on the day of November 27, 2017 (behaviors include “click”, “like”, “purchase” and “add to shopping cart” events). Each row represents a user behavior event, with the user ID, product ID, product category ID, event type, and timestamp in JSON format. Note that the dataset is from the Alibaba Cloud Tianchi public dataset.
In the directory that contains docker-compose.yml
, run the following command to view the first 10 data entries generated in the Kafka topic:
docker-compose exec kafka bash -c 'kafka-console-consumer.sh --topic user_behavior --bootstrap-server kafka:9094 --from-beginning --max-messages 10'
{"user_id": "952483", "item_id":"310884", "category_id": "4580532", "behavior": "pv", "ts": "2017-11-27T00:00:00Z"}
{"user_id": "794777", "item_id":"5119439", "category_id": "982926", "behavior": "pv", "ts": "2017-11-27T00:00:00Z"}
...
In order to make the events in the Kafka topic accessible to Flink SQL, we run the following DDL statement in SQL CLI to create a table that connects to the topic in the Kafka cluster:
CREATE TABLE user_behavior (
user_id BIGINT,
item_id BIGINT,
category_id BIGINT,
behavior STRING,
ts TIMESTAMP(3),
proctime AS PROCTIME(), -- generates processing-time attribute using computed column
WATERMARK FOR ts AS ts - INTERVAL '5' SECOND -- defines watermark on ts column, marks ts as event-time attribute
) WITH (
'connector' = 'kafka', -- using kafka connector
'topic' = 'user_behavior', -- kafka topic
'scan.startup.mode' = 'earliest-offset', -- reading from the beginning
'properties.bootstrap.servers' = 'kafka:9094', -- kafka broker address
'format' = 'json' -- the data format is json
);
The above snippet declares five fields based on the data format. In addition, it uses the computed column syntax and built-in PROCTIME()
function to declare a virtual column that generates the processing-time attribute. It also uses the WATERMARK
syntax to declare the watermark strategy on the ts
field (tolerate 5-seconds out-of-order). Therefore, the ts
field becomes an event-time attribute. For more information about time attributes and DDL syntax, see the following official documents:
After creating the user_behavior
table in the SQL CLI, run SHOW TABLES;
and DESCRIBE user_behavior;
to see registered tables and table details. Also, run the command SELECT * FROM user_behavior;
directly in the SQL CLI to preview the data (press q
to exit).
Next, we discover more about Flink SQL through three real-world scenarios.
Hourly Trading Volume
Creating an Elasticsearch table using DDL
Let’s create an Elasticsearch result table in the SQL CLI. We need two columns in this case: hour_of_day
and buy_cnt
(trading volume).
CREATE TABLE buy_cnt_per_hour (
hour_of_day BIGINT,
buy_cnt BIGINT
) WITH (
'connector' = 'elasticsearch-7', -- using elasticsearch connector
'hosts' = 'http://elasticsearch:9200', -- elasticsearch address
'index' = 'buy_cnt_per_hour' -- elasticsearch index name, similar to database table name
);
There is no need to create the buy_cnt_per_hour
index in Elasticsearch in advance since Elasticsearch will automatically create the index if it does not exist.
Submitting a Query
The hourly trading volume is the number of “buy” behaviors completed each hour. Therefore, we can use a TUMBLE
window function to assign data into hourly windows. Then, we count the number of “buy” records in each window. To implement this, we can filter out the “buy” data first and then apply COUNT(*)
.
INSERT INTO buy_cnt_per_hour
SELECT HOUR(TUMBLE_START(ts, INTERVAL '1' HOUR)), COUNT(*)
FROM user_behavior
WHERE behavior = 'buy'
GROUP BY TUMBLE(ts, INTERVAL '1' HOUR);
Here, we use the built-in HOUR
function to extract the value for each hour in the day from a TIMESTAMP
column. Use INSERT INTO
to start a Flink SQL job that continuously writes results into the Elasticsearch buy_cnt_per_hour
index. The Elasticearch result table can be seen as a materialized view of the query. You can find more information about Flink’s window aggregation in the Apache Flink documentation.
After running the previous query in the Flink SQL CLI, we can observe the submitted task on the Flink Web UI. This task is a streaming task and therefore runs continuously.
Using Kibana to Visualize Results
Access Kibana at http://localhost:5601. First, configure an index pattern by clicking “Management” in the left-side toolbar and find “Index Patterns”. Next, click “Create Index Pattern” and enter the full index name buy_cnt_per_hour
to create the index pattern. After creating the index pattern, we can explore data in Kibana.
Note Since we are using the TUMBLE window of one hour here, it might take about four minutes between the time that containers started and until the first row is emitted. Until then the index does not exist and Kibana is unable to find the index.
Click “Discover” in the left-side toolbar. Kibana lists the content of the created index.
Next, create a dashboard to display various views. Click “Dashboard” on the left side of the page to create a dashboard named “User Behavior Analysis”. Then, click “Create New” to create a new view. Select “Area” (area graph), then select the buy_cnt_per_hour
index, and draw the trading volume area chart as illustrated in the configuration on the left side of the following diagram. Apply the changes by clicking the “▶” play button. Then, save it as “Hourly Trading Volume”.
You can see that during the early morning hours the number of transactions have the lowest value for the entire day.
As real-time data is added into the indices, you can enable auto-refresh in Kibana to see real-time visualization changes and updates. You can do so by clicking the time picker and entering a refresh interval (e.g. 3 seconds) in the “Refresh every” field.
Cumulative number of Unique Visitors every 10-min
Another interesting visualization is the cumulative number of unique visitors (UV). For example, the number of UV at 10:00 represents the total number of UV from 00:00 to 10:00. Therefore, the curve is monotonically increasing.
Let’s create another Elasticsearch table in the SQL CLI to store the UV results. This table contains 3 columns: date, time and cumulative UVs.
The date_str
and time_str
column are defined as primary key, Elasticsearch sink will use them to calculate the document ID and work in upsert mode to update UV values under the document ID.
CREATE TABLE cumulative_uv (
date_str STRING,
time_str STRING,
uv BIGINT,
PRIMARY KEY (date_str, time_str) NOT ENFORCED
) WITH (
'connector' = 'elasticsearch-7',
'hosts' = 'http://elasticsearch:9200',
'index' = 'cumulative_uv'
);
We can extract the date and time using DATE_FORMAT
function based on the ts
field. As the section title describes, we only need to report every 10 minutes. So, we can use SUBSTR
and the string concat function ||
to convert the time value into a 10-minute interval time string, such as 12:00
, 12:10
.
Next, we group data by date_str
and perform a COUNT DISTINCT
aggregation on user_id
to get the current cumulative UV in this day. Additionally, we perform a MAX
aggregation on time_str
field to get the current stream time: the maximum event time observed so far.
As the maximum time is also a part of the primary key of the sink, the final result is that we will insert a new point into the elasticsearch every 10 minute. And every latest point will be updated continuously until the next 10-minute point is generated.
INSERT INTO cumulative_uv
SELECT date_str, MAX(time_str), COUNT(DISTINCT user_id) as uv
FROM (
SELECT
DATE_FORMAT(ts, 'yyyy-MM-dd') as date_str,
SUBSTR(DATE_FORMAT(ts, 'HH:mm'),1,4) || '0' as time_str,
user_id
FROM user_behavior)
GROUP BY date_str;
After submitting this query, we create a cumulative_uv
index pattern in Kibana. We then create a “Line” (line graph) on the dashboard, by selecting the cumulative_uv
index, and drawing the cumulative UV curve according to the configuration on the left side of the following figure before finally saving the curve.
Top Categories
The last visualization represents the category rankings to inform us on the most popular categories in our e-commerce site. Since our data source offers events for more than 5,000 categories without providing any additional significance to our analytics, we would like to reduce it so that it only includes the top-level categories. We will use the data in our MySQL database by joining it as a dimension table with our Kafka events to map sub-categories to top-level categories.
Create a table in the SQL CLI to make the data in MySQL accessible to Flink SQL.
CREATE TABLE category_dim (
sub_category_id BIGINT,
parent_category_name STRING
) WITH (
'connector' = 'jdbc',
'url' = 'jdbc:mysql://mysql:3306/flink',
'table-name' = 'category',
'username' = 'root',
'password' = '123456',
'lookup.cache.max-rows' = '5000',
'lookup.cache.ttl' = '10min'
);
The underlying JDBC connector implements the LookupTableSource
interface, so the created JDBC table category_dim
can be used as a temporal table (i.e. lookup table) out-of-the-box in the data enrichment.
In addition, create an Elasticsearch table to store the category statistics.
CREATE TABLE top_category (
category_name STRING PRIMARY KEY NOT ENFORCED,
buy_cnt BIGINT
) WITH (
'connector' = 'elasticsearch-7',
'hosts' = 'http://elasticsearch:9200',
'index' = 'top_category'
);
In order to enrich the category names, we use Flink SQL’s temporal table joins to join a dimension table. You can access more information about temporal joins in the Flink documentation.
Additionally, we use the CREATE VIEW
syntax to register the query as a logical view, allowing us to easily reference this query in subsequent queries and simplify nested queries. Please note that creating a logical view does not trigger the execution of the job and the view results are not persisted. Therefore, this statement is lightweight and does not have additional overhead.
CREATE VIEW rich_user_behavior AS
SELECT U.user_id, U.item_id, U.behavior, C.parent_category_name as category_name
FROM user_behavior AS U LEFT JOIN category_dim FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF U.proctime AS C
ON U.category_id = C.sub_category_id;
Finally, we group the dimensional table by category name to count the number of buy
events and write the result to Elasticsearch’s top_category
index.
INSERT INTO top_category
SELECT category_name, COUNT(*) buy_cnt
FROM rich_user_behavior
WHERE behavior = 'buy'
GROUP BY category_name;
After submitting the query, we create a top_category
index pattern in Kibana. We then create a “Horizontal Bar” (bar graph) on the dashboard, by selecting the top_category
index and drawing the category ranking according to the configuration on the left side of the following diagram before finally saving the list.
As illustrated in the diagram, the categories of clothing and shoes exceed by far other categories on the e-commerce website.
We have now implemented three practical applications and created charts for them. We can now return to the dashboard page and drag-and-drop each view to give our dashboard a more formal and intuitive style, as illustrated in the beginning of the blogpost. Of course, Kibana also provides a rich set of graphics and visualization features, and the user_behavior logs contain a lot more interesting information to explore. Using Flink SQL, you can analyze data in more dimensions, while using Kibana allows you to display more views and observe real-time changes in its charts!
Summary
In the previous sections, we described how to use Flink SQL to integrate Kafka, MySQL, Elasticsearch, and Kibana to quickly build a real-time analytics application. The entire process can be completed using standard SQL syntax, without a line of Java or Scala code. We hope that this article provides some clear and practical examples of the convenience and power of Flink SQL, featuring an easy connection to various external systems, native support for event time and out-of-order handling, dimension table joins and a wide range of built-in functions. We hope you have fun following the examples in this blogpost!

Introduction¶
This is the documentation for the PyLiT extension for Sphinx.
This extension provides support for a variation of Dr. Donald Knuth’s Literate Programming concepts, extended to also support generation of Git code repositories from the documentation. This tool was originally written to support production of lecture materials for Computer Science courses taught for over 10 years by the author. It was used privately during that time, and is now being released as an open-source package,
Note
There are several packages listed on PyPi with pylit in the name. I first used this name in 2003 as part of my Computer Science Master’s Thesis project at Texas State Uniersity, and I registered the pylit.org name in 2005 [Bla05]. If this causes confusion, I apologize to the others trying to build similar systems.
Features¶
The PyLiT extensions provide a simple way to embed named code fragments in reStructuredText source files. Rather than relying on Sphinx include mechanism, these fragments can be extracted automatically into conventional source code files in a standard (well, almost) Git repository for processing by normal development tools.
Each fragment can be written in any supported language, and may contain special comments which identify other named fragments to be included in the produced source code at the indicated point. This is in keeping with Dr. Knuth’s original concept of Literate Programming.
What is not supported at the moment is the macro feature of standard Literate Programming.
A functional Git repository can be produced from the embedded source code. However, the history in this repository will have time stamps that do not reflect when the code was actually produced. Instead, the history timeline will be compressed but linearly accurate, based on the current state of the reStructuredText files processed by Sphinx.
The background on how this package came to exist and why it supports the current feature set is provided in the development notes. See Development Reference.
Prerequisites¶
The PyLiT package depends on Sphinx and therefore needs at least Python 3.5 to run. It also requires Git to manage repository production from Literate Programming source files.
Usage¶
See pylit-quickstart for installation guide and a quick getting-started reference.


>From :The Desk Of : Mr James Nigerian National Petroleum Company Contract Awarding Committee Member: Executive Council. Dear Friend, REQUEST FOR YOUR UNRESERVED ASSISTANCE I am James Abure, I know this letter may come to you as a surprise but it was borne out of my sincere desire to share a mutual business relationship with you. First, your strictest confidence in this transaction is highlt solicited. This is by virtue of its nature as being confidential and top secret. I am a government official with a statutory corporation and a member of an adhoc committee set up by the Federal Government of Nigeria to review contracts awarded by past administration. In the course of identifying, scrutinizing and recommending payment for all valid contracts executed, we discovered a huge sum of money amounting to US$ 75.5 million (Seventy-five million five hundred thousand dollars) on grossly over- invoiced contract already awarded and executed for the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. Having cleaned the Augean Stable, we intend to transfer the balance of US$ 75.5 million presently floating in our Apex Bank of Nigeria to our own benefit and advantage. However we ask for your unwavering assistance in this regard because as civil servants we are prohibited under the civil service code of conduct from operating a foriegn account or running a foreign company unless after retirement. In this vain we want you to front for us as a partner to enable us lodge the funds speedily into your account. Bear in mind that no risk is attached to this project and all logistics are in place and modalities worked out for the smooth conclusion within a stipulated time. This is in accordance with the fact that you must never betray the trust already reposed on you. We have decided to compensate you with 30% of the total sum for your support, 60% for us, while 10% is mapped out for miscellaneous expenses ( local and international). Please if interested, provide your confidential phone and fax number to enable me contact you for further discussion on this matter. Please advise in your return mail, which time is confidential enough to call you. And also call me if you are interested in the proposal with this number - 234 8 Looking forward to hear from you. Best Regards, James Abure.

--- layout: post title: "Shepherd's Pie" date: 2019-06-12 16:35:00 +0000 tags: nostalgia image: imagecredits: ---
I made shepherd’s pie for dinner last night.
This isn’t a cooking blog. I’m not going to share the recipe here. I didn’t take any photos as I sautéed the minced lamb with carrots and onion or sealed casserole dish with mashed potatoes.
Shepherd’s pie has been one my favorite foods for as long as I can remember. I have vague memories of being quite little and having family members mock me for asserting that that was my preference.
I’ve never been terribly fond of meat. That’s a story for another day. But if you grind it up – pork or beef or lamb – it’s pretty tolerable.
I decided to start writing down some of my thoughts and my memories about food because there are lots of issues I want to explore and unpack: my own tastes and habits but more broadly, some observations about how society interacts with food. I don’t really plan to start writing down recipes here – although I might. I’ve been toying with the idea of taking my wine drinking to a more serious, sommelier level. So I might use this as a space to list the adjectives that come to mind as I drink a glass or two or three. I might write about my family. I might write about other people’s families. I don’t know yet.

An autumnal sweetcorn soup using gamey pigeon breasts. Roasting the cobs gives a really nutty flavour.
For the sweetcorn stock, preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
Place the sweetcorn on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
When the sweetcorn is cooled, stand the cobs upright on a chopping board, and cut down as close as possible to the core to remove the kernels. Set aside the kernels and cut the cores of the sweetcorn in half and place them in a large saucepan. Cover them with the water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 20 minutes, then strain into a jug and set aside, reserving both the stock and the kernels.
For the braised sweetcorn and wood pigeon, reduce the oven temperature to 160C/320F/Gas 3.
Season the wood pigeon with salt and pepper and heat a large frying pan.
When the pan is hot, add one tablespoon of the oil and place the pigeons into the hot pan. Cooked until coloured all over, and then place them in the oven for 10-12 minutes. The pigeons are done when the thickest part of the thigh is pierced with a skewer and the juices run clear.
When cooked, place the pigeon crowns on a plate, cover and set aside to rest for 10-12 minutes.
Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and blanch the onions and carrots for 2-3 minutes. Drain and refresh in ice-cold water. Remove the onions and carrots and place on a plate lined with kitchen roll.
Heat a large frying pan and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add the bacon and cook until crisp and golden-brown. Add the onions and cook for a further two minutes.
Cover the bacon and onions with the sweetcorn stock and bring to the boil. Add the sweetcorn kernels and carrots and simmer for five minutes.
Add the butter, season with salt and pepper and set aside in a warm place while you remove the pigeon meat from the carcass.
To serve, pour the sweetcorn and bacon soup into a large serving bowl and arrange the pigeon meat on top.

Neville demands improvement after England's win over Czechs
England women's coach Phil Neville was pleased the side returned to winning ways with a 3-2 friendly victory over the Czech Republic on Tuesday but said the scoreline should have been far more comfortable.
REUTERS: England women's coach Phil Neville was pleased the side returned to winning ways with a 3-2 friendly victory over the Czech Republic on Tuesday but said the scoreline should have been far more comfortable.
Leah Williamson's deflected 86th-minute strike beat Barbora Votikova in the Czech goal to give England their second win since finishing fourth at the World Cup in July.
Neville made five changes to the side that lost 2-1 to Germany at Wembley last weekend but lapses of concentration at the back showed they need to improve significantly in 2020.
"We got the win I think that was what I demanded for the team," he told BBC.
"We should be beating Czech Republic by more than 3-2. We dominated the second half but we were careless in possession and with the final ball or cross."

21.2 MIME and Email Format Handling
Python supplies the
email package to handle parsing, generation, and
manipulation of MIME files such as email messages, network news
posts, and so on. The Python standard library also contains other
modules that handle some parts of these jobs. However, the new
email package offers a more complete and
systematic approach to these important tasks. I therefore suggest you
use package email, not the older modules that
partially overlap with parts of
email's functionality. Package
email has nothing to do with receiving or sending
email; for such tasks, see modules poplib and
smtplib, covered in Chapter 18.
Instead, package email deals with how you handle
messages after you receive them or before you send
them.
21.2.1 Functions in Package email
Package email supplies two factory functions
returning an instance m of class
email.Message.Message. These functions rely on
class email.Parser.Parser, but the factory
functions are handier and simpler. Therefore, I do not cover module
Parser further in this
book.
Builds m by parsing string
s.
Builds m by parsing the contents of
file-like object f, which must be open for
reading.
21.2.2 The email.Message Module
The email.Message
module supplies class Message. All parts of
package email produce, modify, or use instances of
class Message. An instance
m of Message models a
MIME message, including headers and a payload (data content). You can
create m, initially empty, by calling
class Message, which accepts no arguments. More
often, you create m by parsing via
functions message_from_string and
message_from_file of module
email, or by other indirect means such as the
classes covered in "Creating
Messages" later in this chapter.
m's payload can be a
string, a single other instance of Message, or a
list of other Message instances for a multipart
message.
You can set arbitrary headers on email messages
you're building. Several Internet RFCs specify
headers that you can use for a wide variety of purposes. The main
applicable RFC is RFC 2822 (see http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html). An
instance m of class
Message holds headers as well as a payload.
m is a mapping, with header names as keys
and header value strings as values. The semantics of
m as a mapping are rather different from
those of a dictionary, to make m more
convenient. m's keys are
case-insensitive. m keeps headers in the
order in which you add them, and methods keys,
values, and items return
headers in that order. m can have more
than one header named
key—m[key]
returns an arbitrary one of them, del
m[key]
deletes all of them.
len(m)
returns the total number of headers, counting duplicates, not just
the number of distinct header names. If there is no header named
key,
m[key]
returns None and does not raise
KeyError (i.e., behaves like
m.get(key)),
and del
m[key]
is a no-operation.
An instance m of
Message supplies the following attributes and
methods dealing with m's
headers and payload.
m.add_header(_name,_value,**_params)
|
|
Like
m[_name]=_value,
but you can also supply header parameters as keyword arguments. For
each keyword argument
pname=pvalue,
add_header changes underscores to dashes, then
appends to the header's value a parameter of the
form:
; pname="pvalue" If pvalue is None,
add_header appends only a parameter
';
pname'.
Adds the payload to
m's payload. If
m's payload was
None,
m's payload is now
payload. If
m's payload was a list,
appends payload to the list. If
m's payload was a single
item x,
m's payload becomes the
list
[x,payload],
but only if m's
Content-Type header is missing or has a main type of
multipart. Otherwise, when
m has a single payload and a Content-Type
whose main type is not multipart,
m.add_payload(payload)
raises a MultipartConversionError exception.
m.as_string(unixfrom=False)
|
|
Returns the entire message as a string. When
unixfrom is true, also includes a first
line, normally starting with 'From ', known as the
envelope header of the message.
Attribute
m.epilogue can be
None, or a string that becomes part of the
message's string form after the last boundary line.
Mail programs normally don't display this text.
epilogue is a normal attribute of
m: your program can access it when
you're examining an m
that is fully built by whatever means, and your program can bind it
when you're building or modifying
m in your program.
m.get_all(name,default=None)
|
|
Returns a list with all values of headers named
name, in the order in which the headers
were added to m. When
m has no header named
name, get_all returns
default.
m.get_boundary(default=None)
|
|
Returns the string value of the
boundary parameter of
m's Content-Type header.
When m has no Content-Type header, or the
header has no boundary parameter,
get_boundary returns
default.
m.get_charsets(default=None)
|
|
Returns the list L of string values of
parameter charset of
m's Content-Type headers.
When m is multipart,
L has one item per part, otherwise
L has length 1. For parts that have no
Content-Type, no charset parameter, or a main type
different from 'text', the corresponding item in
L is default.
m.get_filename(default=None)
|
|
Returns the string value of the filename parameter
of m's
Content-Disposition header. When m has no
Content-Disposition, or the header has no filename
parameter, get_filename returns
default.
m.get_maintype(default=None)
|
|
Returns m's main content
type, a string
'maintype'
taken from header Content-Type converted to lowercase. When
m has no header Content-Type,
get_maintype returns
default.
m.get_param(param,default=None,header='Content-Type')
|
|
Returns the string value of the parameter named
param of
m's header named
header. Returns the empty string for a
parameter specified just by name. When m
has no header header, or the header has no
parameter named param,
get_param returns
default.
m.get_params(default=None,header='Content-Type')
|
|
Returns the parameters of
m's header named
header, a list of pairs of strings giving
each parameter's name and value. Uses the empty
string as the value for parameters specified just by name. When
m has no header
header, get_params
returns default.
m.get_payload(i=None,decode=False)
|
|
Returns m's payload. When
m.is_multipart( ) is
False, i must be
None, and
m.get_payload( )
returns m's entire
payload, a string or a Message instance. If
decode is true, and the value of header
Content-Transfer-Encoding is either
'quoted-printable' or 'base64',
m.get_payload also
decodes the payload. If decode is false,
or header Content-Transfer-Encoding is missing or has other values,
m.get_payload returns
the payload unchanged.
When m.is_multipart( )
is True, decode must be
false. When i is
None,
m.get_payload( )
returns m's payload as a
list. Otherwise, m.get_payload(
) returns the ith item of the
payload, and raises TypeError if
i is less than 0 or is
too large.
m.get_subtype(default=None)
|
|
Returns m's content
subtype, a string
'subtype'
taken from header Content-Type converted to lowercase. When
m has no header Content-Type,
get_subtype returns
default.
Returns m's content type,
a string
'maintype/subtype'
taken from header Content-Type converted to lowercase. When
m has no header Content-Type,
get_type returns
default.
Returns the envelope header string for m,
or None if the envelope header was never set.
Returns True when
m's payload is a list,
otherwise False.
Attribute
m.preamble can be
None or a string that becomes part of the
message's string form before the first boundary
line. Only mail programs that don't support
multipart messages display this text to the user, so you can use this
attribute to alert the user that your message is multipart and that a
different mail program is needed to view it.
preamble is a normal attribute of
m: your program can access it when
you're examining an m
that is fully built by whatever means, and your program can bind it
when you're building or modifying
m in your program.
Sets the boundary parameter of
m's Content-Type header
to boundary. When
m has no Content-Type header, raises
HeaderParseError.
Sets m's payload to
payload, which must be a string or list,
as appropriate.
Sets the envelope header string for m.
unixfrom is the entire envelope header
line, including the leading 'From ' but not
including the trailing '\n'.
Returns an iterator on all parts and subparts of
m, to walk the tree of parts
depth-first.
21.2.3 The email.Generator Module
The email.Generator
module supplies class Generator, which you can use
to generate the textual form of a message
m.
m.as_string and
str(m)
may be sufficient, but class Generator gives you
slightly more flexibility. You instantiate
Generator with a mandatory argument and two
optional ones.
class Generator(outfp,mangle_from_=False,maxheaderlen=78)
|
|
outfp is a file or file-like object
supplying method write. When
mangle_from_ is true,
g prepends a '>' to
any line in a message's payload that starts with
'From ' This helps make the
message's textual form more safely parseable.
g wraps each header line at semicolons,
into physical lines of no more than
maxheaderlen characters, for readability.
To use g, just call it:
g(m, unixfrom=False) This emits m in text form to
outfp, like
outfp.write(m.as_string(unixfrom)).
21.2.4 Creating Messages
Package email supplies modules with names starting
with 'MIME', each module supplying a subclass of
Message named like the module. These classes make
it easier to create Message instances of various
MIME types. The MIME classes are as follows.
class MIMEAudio(_audiodata,_subtype=None,_encoder=None,**_params)
|
|
_audiodata is a byte
string of audio data to pack in a message of MIME type
'audio/_subtype'.
When _subtype is None,
_audiodata must be parseable by standard
Python module sndhdr to determine the subtype;
otherwise MIMEAudio raises a
TypeError. When
_encoder is None,
MIMEAudio encodes data as Base 64, which is
generally optimal. Otherwise, _encoder
must be callable with one parameter m, the
message being constructed; _encoder must
then call m.get_payload(
) to get the payload, encode the payload, put the encoded
form back by calling
m.set_payload, and set
m['Content-Transfer-Encoding']
appropriately. MIMEAudio passes the
_params dictionary of keyword argument
names and values to
m.add_header to
construct m's
Content-Type.
class MIMEBase(_maintype,_subtype,**_params)
|
|
The base class of all MIME classes; directly subclasses
Message. Instantiating:
m = MIMEBase(main,sub,**parms) is equivalent to the longer and less convenient idiom:
m = Message( )
m.add_header('Content-Type','%s/%s'%(main,sub),**parms)
m.add_header('Mime-Version','1.0')
class MIMEAudio(_imagedata,_subtype=None,_encoder=None,**_params)
|
|
Like MIMEAudio, but with maintype
'image' and using standard Python module
imghdr to determine the subtype if needed.
class MIMEMessage(msg,_subtype='rfc822')
|
|
Packs msg, which must be an instance of
Message (or a subclass), as the payload of a
message of MIME type
'message/_subtype'.
class MIMEText(_text,_subtype='plain',_charset='us-ascii',_encoder=None)
|
|
Packs text string _text as the payload of
a message of MIME type
'text/_subtype'
with the given charset. When
_encoder is None,
MIMEText does not encode the text, which is
generally optimal. Otherwise, _encoder
must be callable with one parameter m, the
message being constructed; _encoder must
then call m.get_payload(
) to get the payload, encode the payload, put the encoded
form back by calling
m.set_payload, and set
m['Content-Transfer-Encoding']
appropriately.
21.2.5 The email.Encoders Module
The email.Encoders
module supplies functions that take a message
m as their only argument, encode
m's payload, and set
m's headers
appropriately.
Uses Base 64 encoding, optimal for arbitrary binary data.
Does nothing to m's
payload and headers.
Uses Quoted Printable encoding, optimal for textual data that is not
fully ASCII.
Does nothing to m's
payload, sets header Content-Transfer-Encoding to
'8bit' if any byte of
m's payload has the high
bit set, or otherwise to '7bit'.
21.2.6 The email.Utils Module
The
email.Utils module supplies miscellaneous
functions useful for email processing.
Decodes string s as per the rules in RFC
2047 and returns the resulting Unicode string.
pair is a pair of strings
(name,email_address).
dump_address_pair returns a string
s with the address to insert in header
fields such as To and Cc. When name is
false (e.g., ''),
dump_address_pair returns
email_address.
encode(s,charset='iso-8859-1',encoding='q')
|
|
Encodes string s (which must use the given
charset) as per the rules in RFC 2047.
encoding must be 'q' to
specify Quoted Printable, or 'b' to specify Base
64.
formatdate(timeval=None,localtime=False)
|
|
timeval is a number of seconds since the
epoch. When timeval is
None, formatdate uses the
current time. When localtime is true,
formatdate uses the local timezone; otherwise it
uses UTC. formatdate returns a string with the
given time instant formatted in the way specified by RFC 2822.
Parses each item of L, a list of address
strings as used in header fields such as To and
Cc, and returns a list of pairs of strings
(name,email_address).
When getaddresses cannot parse an item of
L as an address,
getaddresses uses (None,None)
as the corresponding item in the list it returns.
t is a tuple with 10 items, the first 9 in
the same format used in module time covered in
Chapter 12,
t[-1] is a time zone as
an offset in seconds from UTC (with the opposite sign from
time.timezone, as specified by RFC 2822). When
t[-1] is
None, mktime_tz uses the local
time zone. mktime_tz returns a float with the
number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC, corresponding to the time
instant that t denotes.
Parses string s, which contains an address
as typically specified in header fields such as To
and Cc, and returns a pair of strings
(name,email_address).
When parseaddr cannot parse
s as an address,
parseaddr returns (None,None).
Parses string s as per the rules in RFC
2822 and returns a tuple t with 9 items,
as used in module time covered in Chapter 12 (the items
t[-3:] are not
meaningful). parsedate also attempts to parse
erroneous variations on RFC 2822 that widespread mailers use. When
parsedate cannot parse
s, parsedate returns
None.
Like parsedate, but returns a tuple
t with 10 items, where
t[-1] is
s's time zone as an
offset in seconds from UTC (with the opposite sign from
time.timezone, as specified by RFC 2822), like in
the argument that mktime_tz accepts. Items
t[-4:-1] are not
meaningful. When s has no time zone,
t[-1] is
None.
Returns a copy of string s where each
double quote (") becomes '\"'
and each existing backslash is repeated.
Returns a copy of string s where leading
and trailing double quote characters (") and angle
brackets (<>) are removed if they surround
the rest of s.
21.2.7 The Message Classes of the rfc822 and mimetools Modules
The best way to handle email-like messages
is with package email. However, other modules
covered in Chapter 18 and Chapter 20 use instances of class
rfc822.Message or its subclass
mimetools.Message. This section covers the subset
of these classes' functionality that you need to
make effective use of the modules covered in Chapter 18 and Chapter 20.
An instance m of class
Message is a mapping, with the
headers' names as keys and the corresponding header
value strings as values. Keys and values are strings, and keys are
case-insensitive. m supports all mapping
methods except clear, copy,
popitem, and update.
get and setdefault default to
'', instead of None. Instance
m also supplies convenience methods (e.g.,
to combine getting a header's value and parsing it
as a date or an address). I suggest you use for such purposes the
functions of module email.Utils, covered earlier
in this chapter, and use m just as a
mapping.
When m is an instance of
mimetools.Message, m
supplies additional methods.
Returns
m's main content type,
taken from header Content-Type converted to lowercase. When
m has no header Content-Type,
getmaintype returns 'text'.
Returns the string value of the
parameter named param of
m's header Content-Type.
Returns m's content
subtype, taken from header Content-Type converted to lowercase. When
m has no header Content-Type,
getsubtype returns 'plain'.
Returns
m's content type, taken
from header Content-Type converted to lowercase. When
m has no header Content-Type,
gettype returns
'text/plain'.

SCENES from OCCUPIED MARYLAND [exerpts from OR Series 2, vol. 1, part 1, p.563 ff., under the section heading UNION POLICY OF REPRESSION IN MARYLAND] BALTIMORE, April 19, 1861. Mayor GEORGE W. BROWN to PRESIDENT LINCOLN: ... Under these circumstances it is my solemn duty to inform you that it is not possible for more soldiers to pass through Baltimore unless they fight their way at every step. ... [Gov. Hicks attached his endorsement]
PHILADELPHIA, April 23, 1861. Honorable SIMON CAMERON, Secretary of War: DEAR SIR: Since I wrote my last of this date I have been informed that the Baltimoreans and Marylanders have destroyed the whole of the bridges on the Northern Central. This seems to have been a mere spite action and must convince the Government that those loyal to the Government in Maryland are in a vast minority. As soon as the capital is safe from attack it seems to me that the Government should at once turn on Baltimore and place it under martial law and require that it should pay all damages to the railroads it has destroyed and to their business.
Yours, truly,
BALTIMORE, July 1, 1861. Lieutenant-General SCOTT: The board of police was arrested this morning at 4 o'clock. Troops have been stationed at the principal squares of the city. All is perfectly quiet. We greatly need cavalry for patrol duty. N. P. BANKS.
FORT McHENRY, August 25, 1861. ... I have adopted stringent measures to secure quiet but they are so ordered as to attract no notice. The regiments are well drilled to street-firing and in half an hour I can have 1,000 men in any part of the city; in forty minutes five times that number. ... JOHN A. DIX.
FORT McHENRY, August 31, 1861. Honorable M. BLAIR. In regard to the "Exchange" and other secessionist presses in that city. I presume you are not aware that an order for the suppression of these presses was made out in one of the Departments of Washington. ... I think a measure of so much gravity as the suppression of a newspaper by military force should carry with it the whole weight of the influence and authority of the Government especially when the publication is made almost under its eye. There is no doubt that a majority of the Union men in Baltimore desire the suppression of all the oppsition presses in the city but there are many -- and among them some of the most discreet -- who think differently. The city is now very quiet and under control though my force is smaller than I asked. There is a good deal of impatience among some of the Union men. They wish to have something done. The feeling is very much like that which prevailed in Washington before the movement against Manassas. It would not be difficult to get up a political Bull Run disaster in this State. If the Government will give me the number of regiments I ask and leave them with me when I have trained them to the special service they may have to peform I will respond for the quietude of this city. Should the time for action come I shall be ready. In the meantime preparation is going on. I am fortifying Federal Hill under a general plan of defense suggested by me and approved by General Scott. Two other works will be commanded the moment I can get an engineer from Washington. On the Eastern Shore there should be prompt and decisive action. I have urged it repeatedly and earnestly during the last three weeks. Two well-disciplined regiments should march from Salisbury, the southern teminus of the Wilmington and Delaware Railroad, through Accomack and Northampton Counties and break up the rebel camps before they ripen into formidable organizations as they assuredly will if they are much longer undisturbed. ... JOHN A. DIX.
Reffered to General McClellan. I believe the "Exchange," "Republican" and "South" should be suppressed. They are open disunionists. The "Sun" is in sympathy but less diabolical.
Baltimore, Md., September 4, 1861. DIX to McCLELLAN: No secession flag has to the knowledge of the police been exhibited in Baltimore for many weeks, except a small paper flag displayed by a child from an upper window. It was immediately removed by [the police]. They have been instructed to arrest any person who makes a public demonstration by word or deed in favor of the Confederate Government and I have prohibited the exhibition in shop windows of rebel envelopes and music. ... If there is an uprising on the Eastern Shore under the influence of the rebel organizations in Accomack and Northampton, or if the Confederate forces cross the Potomac we may have trouble. I shall endeavor to be ready for it whenever it comes. ...
Baltimore, Md., September 5, 1861. DIX to McCLELLAN: Fort McHenry which has not sufficient space for the convenient accommodation of the number of men necessary to man its guns is crowded with prisoners. ... It is too near the seat of war which may possibly be extended to us. It is also too near a great town in which there are multitudes who sympathize with them who are constantly applying for interviews and who must be admitted with the hazard of becoming the media of improper communications, or who go away with the feeling that they have been harshly treated because they have been denied access to their friends. ... If as is supposed Fort Lafayette is crowded may they not be provided for at Fort Delaware? ... I certainly do not think them perfectly safe here considering the population by which they are surrounded and the opportunities for evading the vigilance of their guards.
BALTIMORE, September 15, 1861.
DEAR GOVERNOR: I thank you in the name of every truley loyal man in Baltimore and in my own poor name too for your arrest of the traitors whom you have sent to Fortress Monroe. A great and a good work has been done. Rebellion has received a staggering blow. I hope General Banks will take care that the Legislature shall not sit at all. There are thin-skinned Union men enough who will seek to get a quorum for the sake of the $4 a day. General Kimmel is one of them. He told me a day or two ago he wanted to have a chance to pass his foolish resolutions. I bade him take up his musket rather and go to the field. The arrest of W. Wilkins Glenn, the proprietor of the "Exchange," has given intense satisfaction. Beale Richardson and his writing editor Joice, of the "Republican," are very violent and would grace the Tortugas.  They too would do well at Tortugas. A Mr. Hodges here told me last evening that any amount of money could be raised to continue the "Exchange," but said he, "What's the use? We can't get it through the mails." I still think they will try to keep it up just for a vent of their spleen and sinister designs. Our provost-marshal, Mr. Dodge, whom I have just left, is anxious to have it bought up by the Union men but that's impossible. It is in debt some $40,000 and would be worth nothing to the Union cause because all its supporters are rebels who would instantly withdraw. My own judgment is that it should be suppressed out and out if it is continued. The "South" [newspaper] has stopped after trying to get up a Polignac revolution. May's arrest has caused infinite pleasure because of his hypocrisy and malignancy. The effect of these arrests must determine very rapidly the status of the floating population who are ever on the watch for the stronger side. I have already heard of cases in our favor. We are determined to prevent any rebel voting if he will not take the oath of allegiance. It is to be done by a system of challenging. The new mayor has already surrendered the pistols retained by the old police and evinces a reaidness to co-operate with the Federal authorities. His name is Blackburn. It is intimated that General Howard has taken the hint and will not accept the rebel nomination for Governor. If he does he should be sent at once to Fortress Monroe, and so too of Jarrett, the rebel nominee for comptroller. I hope the Government will not release a single one of these prisoners let the circumstances be what they may. The effect upon the public mind depends largely upon firmness at this juncture.
Faithfully, yours,
Baltimore, Md., September 20, 1861.
Captain BRAGG,
SIR: I do not wish any searches made in private dwellings by the military. I prefer it should be done by the police. You have very properly reported to me the case of Doctor Henkle and I shall put it in the hands of the provost-marshal in Baltimore. I do not wish any persons to be stopped who have shotguns and who are evidently going on sporting excursions. They should not be detained or interfered with in any way. Your duty is to examine vihicles passing out of the city of Baltimore and suspected of having concealed arms or goods destinated to the disloyal States.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
BALTIMORE, September 23, 1861.
MY DEAR JOHNSON: My belief is that the peace convention is defunct. Still I have taken measures to have them watched and will inform you promptly of any movement by them.
Sincerely yours,
BALTIMORE, September 25, 1861.
MY DEAR JOHNSON: * * * In regard to the peace convention I still think it defunct; but it will be well not to be thrown off our guard and if there should be any indications of its revival I shall be informed of it. From present appearances there will be no opposition to the Union tickets either in this city or county. Much will depend, however, upon the turn of events. If the rebels should lick us or obtain any decided advantage over us the rebel sentiment here will revive. Otherwise it will remain cowed as it is now. I do not think it would be wise to cease making arrests entirely. Some evidence that the power is with the Government should be kept before the eyes of the discontented few. It has a most salutary effect.
Yours, truly,
Baltimore, Md., October 10, 1861. DIX to SEWARD: SIR: I have carefully examined the papers in the case of Dr. A. C. Robinson and have some doubt about the expediency of allowing him to return to Baltimore until after the fall election -- say the 10th of November. He has been a very violent secessionist, and even through he should take the oath of allegiance and abstain from any act of hostility to the Government he would not consider himself precluded from a participation in the proceedings of his party in support of the peace ticket. He is not a dangerous man like Wallis but I would rather have him away from Baltimore for the next three weeks at least. It looks very much as though we should carry out ticket without any organized opposition. I am confident at all events that Maryland will be a Union State in November. Until then I think it would be wise to let those who have been active against the Government and have influence remain out of the State if they are not in it now. It is understood that Doctor Robinson is in Richmond at this time though he may be nearer home. If you will allow me to suggest a course in regard to his friends seeking his release it would be not to discourage them but to hold out the expectation that he will be permitted to return shortly on taking the oath of allegiance, and it ought not to be less than the one prescribed by Congress.
NEW YORK, October 11, 1861. L. J. BRENGLE, Esq. MY DEAR SIR: The result of the election in Baltimore proves the wisdom of the action of the Government in having the prominent traitors arrested. Even the secessionists in Western Maryland are reconciled and even approve it for they dread civil war within the State. At the same time, however, I learn from a very reliable source in Allegany County that a secret movement is on foot by the peace party, i.e., secessionists in disguise[,] to nominate an opposition ticket; and for the purpose of defeating the Union ticket the commissioners, nearly all secessionists, have lately had a meeting and appointed the rankest secessionists as judges of election. I mention the name of one so appointed for Cumberland, W. O. Sprigg, well known as a rabid secessionist, having a son in the rebel army. Amongst the opponents of the Government the foremost in Allegany County are Judge Perry and Doctor Fitzpatrick. The former appointed young Brien, now an officer in the rebel ranks, foreman of the grand jury and permitted him to come into court with a large secession badge on his breast. I mention this fact as a glaring instance of his proclivities. He and his Confederates[,] Doctor Fitzpatrick, W. O. Sprigg (who I believe has also a son in the rebel ranks) and if I mistake not Devecmon, the lawyer, are the head and front of the secret movement now going on. They are in constant communication with the rebels in Virginia and are doing all the mischief they can. Now it seems to me these people should for a while be placed where they can do no harm. If the Government could be made aware of the state of things I think they should give these gentlemen free quarters at Fort McHenry or Fort Lafayette from now until after the election. The quiet and safety of the State of Maryland would be promoted by such a proceeding and an election result obtained which could not but have a most beneficial effect upon the whole country. ... C. E. DETMOLD.
Washington, October 29, 1861.
Major General N. P. BANKS,
GENERAL: There is an apprehension among Union citizens in many parts of Maryland of an attempt at interference with their rights of suffrage by disunion citizens on the occasion of the election to take place on the 6th of November next. In order to prevent this the major-general commanding directs that you send detachments of a sufficient number of men to the different points in your vicinity where the elections are to be held to protect the Union voters and to see that no disunionists are allowed to intimidate them or in any way to interfere with their rights. He also desires you to arrest and hold in confinement till after the election all disunionists who are known to have returned from Virginia recently and who show themselves at the polls, and to guard effectually against any invasion of the peace and order of the election. For the purpose of carrying out these instructions you are authorized to suspend the habeas corpus. General Stone has received similar instructions to these. You will please confer with him as to the particular points that each shall take the control of.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
[Lincoln, in a July 1861 speech to Congress, had complained that Confederate elections, "where the bayonets are all on one side of the question voted upon, can scarcely be considered as demonstrating popular sentiment."]
Baltimore, Md., November 1, 1861.
DIX to DANIEL ENGEL and WILLIAM ECKER,
... I consider it of the utmost importance that the election should be a fair one and that there should be no obstruction to the free and full expression of the voice of the people of the State believing as I do that it will be decidedly in favor of the Union. But it is in the power of the judges of election under the authority given them to satisfy themselves as to the qualifications of the voters -- to put to those who offer to poll such searching questions in regard to residence and citizenship as to detect traitors and without any violation of the constitution or laws of Maryland to prevent the pollution of the ballot boxes by their votes.
[Substance of a memoranda of an order issued by Major Andrews, of the Second Delaware Volunteers, to Captain Moorehouse of the said regiment, under which order Mr. E. K. Wilson, of Snow Hill, Worcester County, was arrested.] "The memoranda states in substance that -- All persons who have lately uttered expressions of hostility to the Government or have spoken disrespectfully of the President of the United States are to be arrested and detained in camp." [Dix corrected the military officer]: "Our mission is not to annoy or invade any personal rights but to correct misapprehension in regard to the intentions of the Government."
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
SEWARD to JOHN S. KEYES, Esq., U. S. Marshal, Boston, Mass. ... You will ... please inform all the prisoners confined at Fort Warren that this Department will not recognize any person as an attorney in such cases, and that if the fact comes to the knowledge of the Department that any prisoner has agreed to pay to any attorney a sum of money or to give to him anything of value as a consideration for interceding for the release of such prisoner that fact will be held as an additional reason for continuing the confinement of such person. You will also please say to the prisoners that it is the wish of the Government that they should communicate whatever they may have to say directly to this Department.
