. ©The Maine Election. | Some of the less sagacious of the Radicals affect to believe that the | Maine election, of last Monday, presages a victory for Grant and they strive to feel jubilant over it. The Maine election is perfectly satisfactb?y: to the Liberals. The State holds elections annually, but as there is an over‘whelming Radical majority there never is anything like a contest except on the years of Presidential elections ; the opposition then make a contest only for the purpose of preventing the party in power from gaining on its former contested vote; it is a fight for prestige and nothing more. - The same is true of the Radical party in such Democratic strongholds as Kentucky and Tennessee. The‘lesson’’ of the Maine election may be taught in a few words: In 1868 the State gave Grant 28,030 majority. At thée September election of the same year it gave the Republican candidate for Governor 20,403 majority; at the election last Monday it _gave a majority of 15,000 for the Radical ticket. Here-is a clear loss, of 5,000 majority on the State ticket and about 13,000 on the Grant vote. All concede that the proper basis to calculate from is the State vote. We have, then, a gain of 3 per cent. on the whole vote in favor of the Liberals., Considering the circumstances, this is certainly a very handsome showing. But let us carry the comparison a little further. All admit the Presidential contest will, practically, be settled by the October elections. In ’6B the Republican majority in Indiana was 961. It will require less than one per cent. gain to overcome this. . The majority in Pennsylvania was 9,677; less than one per cent. of a gain will give the Liberals a majority there, and something less than two per cent. of a gain will carry Obhio. - Now, the Liberal Republican strength is admitted to be much stronger in these States than it is Maine, but if it develops even less than one half the proportionate strength the States of Pennsylvania and Indiana will both give good, round Liberal majorities. 1f the same proportionate gain is made in Indiana that has been made in Maine it will eleet Hendricks by about 12,000 majority. If the Radicals can.extract any comfort from the Maine" election returns they are welcome to do go. One thing is sure; the Liberals are well pleased with the state of affairs which the election has developed, for it indicates the almost certain election of the Democratic tickets in all the doubtful States and the consequent election of Greeley to the Presidency.— LaPorte Argus.

While our’ Radical exchanges are telling their readers that “if the Liberals elect Greeley pensions will surely be given to the Rebel soldiers,” it might be well for them to request their readers to look at a few factsin rela tion to this matter. At the Philadelphia Convention that nominated Grant a Sounthern delegate offered a resolution favoring the payment of pensions to therebel soldiers, Instead of being instantly voted down or kicked out of the convention, it was received and regpectfully referred to the committee on resolutions. This committee met and one of its members, from Virginia, appeared as the special champion of the proposition to iccorporate the resolution in the platform of the party. It was discussed at length, warmly advocated and opposed, but it was finally decided that it would be impolitic to adopt it. This clearly shows.that there is an element in the Radical party that earnestly favors pensioning the rebel soldiers, if not, why did they recognize and discuss the proposal?— Not one word or sylable of the kind was even offered, much less entertained, either at Cincinnati or Baltimore, This is a plain statement otanactual occurrence and norespectable Grant man or newspapar will attempt to deny it,— If any body favors paying pensions to the rebels it would appear to be the Grantites, o

A few more such “victories” as the Radicals - acheived in Vermont will wipe their party omt. The Liberals have made a gain of over 3 per cent on the vote of '6B and that too, when no effort was made, for there was absolutely no hope of electing a single officerin the entire State. They have reduced Grant’s majority in 1868 over 6,000 and made a hadsome gain on the State. election of that year. The. same proportionate gain throughout the country would give all the donbtful States to Greeley and insure his ' election by an overwhelming vote. If Radical Vermont hag done this well what may we expeet of Pennsylvania,. Ohio and Indiana? Instead of giving a Liberal gain of 3 per cent these States will give not less than ten per cent. of the old Republican yote to the Liberal candidates; buth State and National,

Our readers will very distinctly remember how bitter the Radicals were in their denunciation of the Republican Senators who voted ‘against the 'impeachment of Andrew Johnison. They were all denonuced as traitors to their: ‘country and were formally read out of their party. - No' Radical could de‘nounce ‘- them in, sufficiently strong. terms and their golitieal; death warrant. was signed, sealed and -sworn to. by: every “trooly loil”, man in the country. And now comes this same Radical party and voluntarily nominates the antiimpeacher, ex-Senator John B, Hen: derson, as ‘its_ candidate for Governor’ of Missouri. . His present lquon of Grant'makes his loyalty first~class: .

SPEECH OF HORACE GREELEY AT PORTLAND, MAINE. PORTLAND, Aug. 14.—The follow- { ing speech was made by Mr. Greeley at higreception here: . “He bad struggled throughout life for, firet, impartial and universal liberty : “#econd for the unity and greatness of our common country ; third, but by no means the least, when the former end was attained, for an éarly and hearty reconciliation, peace and harmony among our countrymen. - He recognized the propriety of a candidate for the Presidency making no speeches; yet there is a truth to be uttered in behalf of those who have placed me before the American people in my present attitude, which does them such honor that I claim the privilege of stating it now. The truth is that no person has ever yet made the fact that he proposed to support, or actually did support my nomination at Cincinnati or Baltimore, or any action which result’d in sending delegates 16 either conlention, the basis to a claim for offiée. No one who favored my nomination before either convention has sought office at my hand, either for himeelf or any one else. Nor has any ‘one suggested to me that I might strengthen myself as a candidate by promising support to any one to any important offices whatever. In very few instances I am certain some of the smaller fry of politicians have, since my double nomination, hinted to me, by letter, ithat I may increase my chances by providing themw a post office or some such place. T'o my voluntary correspondents respective, I have not usually responded to these overtures, but I now give general notice that should I be elected I will consider the claims of these unt'mely aspirants after those more modest and reticent shall have been fully satisfied. [Applause.] In two or three instances I have been asked to say whether 1 would not, if elected, confine my appointments to the Republicans. -I answer to those by pointing to that plank of the Cineinnati platform wherein all who concur in the principles therein set forth are cordially invited to participate for their establishment and vindication, I never yet heard of a man who invited his neighbors to raise a house, proceeding to kick them out of it as soon as the roof was fairly over his head. For my own part I recognize every honest man who approves and adheres to the Cincinnati platform as my political brother, and, as such, fully entitled to my considence and friendly regards. - : One other point demands a word.— Those adverse to me ask what pledges I have given to those lately hostile to the Union to receive their favor and support. I answer that no man or woman in all the South has ever asked of me directly or through another, any other pledge than is given through all my-acts and words. From the hour of Lee’s surrender down to this moment no Southern man ever hinted to me an expectation, hope or wish that the rebel debt, whether Confederate or State, ghould be assumed or paid by the Union. No Southern man who could be elected to the Legislature or made a Colonel of a malitia regiment ever sug-gested-the pensioning of rebel soldiers, nor any of them even as a remote possibility. All who noghigated me were perfectly aware. tba upheld and Justified Federal legislatioh to suppress ‘Ku-Klux conspiracy and outrages, though I had long ago insisted as strenuously as I now do that complete amnesty and genuine oblivion of the bloody, hateful past would do, more for the suppression and utter extinction of such outrages than all forced bills of guspension of the habeas corpus ever devised by men. Wrong and erime must be suppressed and punished ; but far wiser and nobler is a legislative policy by which they are prevented.— From those who supported me in the South I have but one demand, justice ; but one desire, reconciliation. They wish to be heartily re-united and at peace with the North on any terms which do not involve the surrender of their manhood. So long as they obey and uphold evéry law consistent with equality and right they desire a rule which, alike for white and black, shall encourage industry and thrift, and in| which I fully concur.' Between the | sth of November and the 4th of March next quite a number of Governors and other dignitaries, who, in the abused name of Republicanism and loyalty, have for years been piling debts and taxes npon their war-wasted States, will follow the example of Bullock, of Georgia, and seek the shades of private life. 'The darker and darker those shades, the better for themselves; and for mankind, and the hope that my election may hasten the much desired hygeria of thieving carpet-baggers has reconciled to the necessity of supporting. me many who would otherwise have hesitated and probably refused, Fellow-citizens, the deposed and partially exiled Tammanny ring has sto~ len about thirty millions from the city of New York. That was a most gi“gantic robbery, but it harled its contrivors and abettoys from power and ‘splendor to infamy. But -the thirsty carpet-baggers have stolen at least three ‘times that amount, stolen it from the -already impoverished and needy. They still found their prosperous ?nillainy in ;in the highest places in the land, and are addressed as honorable and excellency. [Applause.] > . I think I hear a voice from the honeat people of all the States orderin% that their iniquity shall beindulged no longer at the furthest than till the 4th of March next: By that time those criminals will have heard of the national ‘verdict ‘&t‘d@bﬁﬁcbﬂ_‘ that will cause ‘them to fold their tents like Arabs, and s silently steal away. That, I trust, will be the end: of their stealing at the -cost of .the good of our country and ‘the well being of our people. = . . John A. Dix, the Radical candidate for Governor of New York, was one of s ’s officers, He then became .2 Republican, but afterwards Johnsonized and wag confirmed by a_Republican Senato as Minister to Franco.— fice but will be beaten in New York by at least 50,000 majority. o

Greeley and Wilson, and Jefl, Davis. One of the most persistent objections urged by the Grantites to the election of Mr. Greeley is, that he went on Jeff, Davig’ bail bond. This is urged as the unpardonable sin, which can never be excused by a gentine Radical. It is seized hold of as one of the very best items in the campaign to array public prejudice against Mr. Greeley, and is rolled under the tongues of ten thousand Grant orators as peculiarly a sweet morsel. -

. What these fellows will do when they read the following, it is somewhat difficult to say, but we rather guess they will find the sand crawling from under them, about with the same rapidity that the great political land slide is overwhelming them. On the 22d of March, 1867, Henry Wilson introduced in the Senate the following joint resolution. It was referred to the Judiciary Committee, and it ap* pears to been there smothered:

WHEREAS, Jefferson Davis, a citizen of the State of Mississippi, was captured by a military force in the service of the United States on the 11th of May, 1865, and bas since been held in close confinement as 8 prisoner of war, and as a prisoner of State in Fortress Monroe, Virginia; and, WaEREAs, The said Jefferson Davis stands charged on the highest authority with the heinous crime of conspiring to murder the late President of the United States, Abrabam Lincoln, and is also indicted for treason; and, WHEREAS, The said Jefferson Davis has persistently declared his innocence of the offenses charged against him,and, through his legal advisers, by all medns known to ‘the Jaw has sought and demanded a pub-~ lic, speedy trial by due process of law before a civil tribunal of competent jurisdiction; therefore, sl Resolved, by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring, That the longer conflnement of the said Jefferson Davis without & trial, or the assignment ‘of a specific time for 4 trial, 18 not in accordance with the demands of justice, the spirit of the laws, and the requirements ofthe Constitution ; and that common justice, sound policy and the National honor unite in recommending that the said Jefferson Davis be brought to a speedy trial, or that he be released from confinement on bail or on his; own recognizance. ? "Now let us héar from the office-holders’. organs another chorus of denunciation against Mr. Greeley for his shameless and: treasonable course in signing the bail bond of .'the arch traitor. These are pretty wprds, and are calculated to have a wonderful effect on popular prejudice. But unfortunately for all this crushing argument against Mr. Greeley, it is now discovered that the Radical candidate for the second place on their ticket, not only was. willing to release Jeff. Davis from confinement, on his giving bail, “but on his own recognizance.” :

What a terrible traitor this Henry Wilson, to be willing to release this incarnate firc-cater.and unsubdued rebel to liberty, “on his own recognizance.” Is this possible ? The mild-mannered Henry. The good natured Senator from Massachusgtts- Could he have been such a quasi traitor to have even thought of such_ a thing? Why, the great crime of Horace Greeley, in signing Davis’ bond, pales into insignificance before this _most audacious actof the candidate for the Vice Pres: dency. Now, let loose the whole pack of Administration orators, and at once and forever demolish the Nattick shoemaker. How can a genuine Radical vote for him? He can’t—of course he can’t. =~

"THE Salt Lake Herald gives an explan ation of Grant’s Indian policy in Utah which re-convicts the andmniistration ot the neglect and folly that have been so often charged in connection with Indian affairs. It appears that the Indians who are creating all the trouble in that Territory are nesrly starved because -the government has failed to comply with treaty stipulations, and as that paper truly says, “hunger will make savages of even the “gentle. From all reports,” adds the Herald, “the Indians are in a starving condi“tion. 8o long as the people of San Pete “furnished them food they were friendly, “except the few renegades that made the “raid on Twelve Mile Creek; but when “the supply of food was stopped, in obe“dience to instructions from Indian agent “Dodge, Tabby, the chief, sald+he was no “longer able to control his men.” e

- A REWARD is offered for the discovery of a Republican who. has not several hundred times made use of the expression: “I don’t see how a Democrat can vote for Horace Greeley!” A committee of Republicans has been in gession for. some time, endeavoring. to change the phraseology, but have not yet succeeded .in getting up a sentence that relieves their minds so happily as the above. As it is only about two months until election time, we suggest that they continue to gfgg/the/expression in its present form,

- 'DEMOCRATIC clubs should be organized ig every township in the county, without any delay. Our opponents are thoroughly organized and in good working trim in every county in the State. Numbers will not bring success unless a "proper use is made of them. Cannot our friends in the several townships organize within the next ten days? Preparations should be made to bring every voter to the polls, and in order to do this, we must know where our voters are. This. matter of organization should be attended to immediately. ' ;

If his health, which is now quite poor, will permit, .John B. Niles, will address the Liberals of this county sometime before the election. His heart and whole sympathies are thoroughly enlisted in the success of the entire Liberal ticket, and he probably will speak at various other places in the north part of the State, before the election ; at present the feeble state of his health absolutely prevents his doing 80.—LaPorte Argus. i

Snake Taming in England—A CuriousDomestic Sceme. | A correspondent of the London Times. tells thisstory: .. =- = exo I happened to know the gentlefman and -lady against whom a complaint was recently made because of the snakes they keep, and I should like to give a short account of my first visit to them. Mr. M., after we had talked=for a liftle while, asked me if I had any fear of snakes,and, after a timid “No, not very,”.from me; he produced out of a cupboard s large boa constrictor, a python; and several small snakes, which at once made themselves at home on the writing table among pens, ink, and books. I was at first a good deal startled, especially when the two large snakes coiled round and round my - friend, and began to notice me with their bright eyes and forked tongues; but soon " finding how tame they were I ceased to feel frightened. ‘After a short. time, Mr." M. expressed a wish to call -Mrs. M., and left me with the boa deposited on an arm chair. T felt a little queer when the rep‘tile began gradually to Eome near, but the ‘entrance of my host and hostess, followed by two charming little children; put- me Atmyeasengain, . ' -t oCh .After the first exchange of civilities she and the children went at-once to the boa, and, calling it by the:most endearing names, allowed it to twine itself mast gracefully about them. I sat talking for & long time lost in wonder at the picture before me. Two ‘bedntiful little girls, with their charming mother, saft, before: me with a boa constrictor (as thick round ‘as a small tree) twining playfully around the lady’s waist and neck, and forming ‘a kind of turban 10und her head;expecting to be pefted and made much of like a kitten. The children over and over again - took its head in their hands and kissed its mouth, pushing aside its forked tongue in doing so. The reptile seemed mifch pleased, but kept turning .its head con- | tinually toward me with a curious gaze, until I allowed it to nestle its head: for a moment up my slceve. Nothing could be prettier than to see this splendid serpent céiled round. Mrs,” M. while she stood to pour out our coffeet He seemed | to adjust his weight so nicely, and every coil, with its beautiful ‘marking, was relieved by the black velvet dress of the lady. It was long before I eould make ‘up my mind to end the visit, and I returned soon after with a' friend (a: distinguished M. P.) to sée my snake tamingy fequaintance pgain. . 0 T oL, About a year ago Mr. and Mrs. M. were away for six weeks, and :left: the boa in charge of a kéeper at the Zoo - The poor reptile moped, slept, and refused to be comforted, but when his master and mistress appeared he sprang upon them with delight, coiling himself around them, andshowing every symptom of intense delight. The children are entirely devoted to their “darling Cleo,” as they call the snake, and they smiled when I asked if they were ever. frightened at it. .= -

; Capers of Lightning.. The lightning cuts up.some queer capers sometimes, and a narrow escape from death is told by one of the Connecticut papers: “The electrie fluid entered at the window of a room in the second story. where a boy lay in bed, but not asleep. It leaped across the room to the wall, crossing the bed whére the boy lay, and tore both the sheets on the'bed intofragments, scorching one badly, but leaving the boy unharmed. It ripped lath'and plastering from the wall and scattered them all over the room. Then it descended to the lower: floor, and into a closet, smashing - a ‘large quantity of crockery. It hurled two lamps from a mantel piece in the kitchen across the room, overturned and smashed a clock on the other side of the chimney, and then separated into three. bolts, two of which went down through & brick hearth into the cellar, while a third went out at the side of the house, ripping the boards in pieces. The boy, wild .with fear, came running down stairs) entirely naked, and don’t. recollect whether he took off his night shirt himself, or whether the lightnirg took it off for him.- He was unharmed, not even stunned. He. said that he lay ‘cuddled’ down i%to the bed, (a large feather bed), with ' the clothes drawn up over his head so. that hecould not see the lightning, and that there was a noise as if some one had fired a cannon ‘in his ears, that there was a burning heat and a general tumbling of everything, and that he thought he had staid there about long enough, and so went down stairs.” Ak -

True as Gospel. e The singuiar similarity of tendency between the utterances of the Grant extrem ities and the Straight Democrats i§ certainly one of the ;proofs that, though traveling by different roads, they "are all going in the same direction—from Greeley and to Grant. The Cincinnati Com: mercial says: “First, we hear Ben, Butler cry out: ‘Can the loyal people of the north shake hands with/ thiese southern: rebels?” ~ And then:we hear Blanton Duncan cry out: ‘Can the people of the south clasp hands with those men who have wronged them from the termination of the war?” Soon afterward we hear the old Abolitionists, Garrison and Phillips, abusing Greeley in the most violent way, and at the same time we hear the old fireeaters, Toombs and Wise, .vituperating Greeley in the most frantic style. Bat, in the meantime, we are inclined to believe that quite a number-of the decent people of all parties and sections- have become weary and disgusted with the cruel quarrel which such men. as these would keep' up forever. They prefer shaking hands with to shaking fists at each other. Of this.last business there. has been enough' during’ the past half century.” bk oo Phillips, Butler, Morton, Duncan; and all the Grant supporters, and the supporters of a straight Democratic ticket, bave the same object in view—the reclection of Grant.

A Sick Mother Loses Her Child Overboard — Conductor Refuses to Stop ‘the Train—The Child Found Dead. The Fort Scott (Kansas) Moniter relates the following sad story-of an accident.on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, last week: “A. train bound for Texas had on board a large -number of travelers and emigrants, among them a lady with a little boy aged seven years/who bad the ague. ‘When about ‘sixty miles below the State line the boy, who had been walking about the car during the evening, fell off. This was not known by the mother until the. train had gone two miles, and the lady sought the conductor and asked him to back the train, which he irefused to do. The lady then asked tke conductor to stop the train and let her off, which: the conductor also refused to’do, and, in spite of her tears and entreaties, carried her down-:to the station, where she 'was compelled to stay over night and wait for an up traia the nex! morning. On the return the’boy was found. He had crawled up the embankment among the grass, and resting his curly head among the wild flowers of the prairie, and drenched: with the terrific thunder storm of Fridaynight, he was dead.” ' . e Shocking End of a Bridal Tour, We learned of a fatal accident that occurred at the Hawk’s Nest last week, and which resultéd in -the death of & young couple named Auron, who were on their bridal tour from .the east. They had come to view the beauties of this lovely place, and on going too near the edge of the cliff they both lost their footing, and were precipitated below, killing them in. stantly. . On coming to their assistance their bodies and faces were found to be mangled-so fearfully as' to be unrecognizable. . The lady fell on her head, mashing it into atoms and. breaking her breast into a jelly. The gentleman’s brains were knocked out, and his body ‘broken to pieces., Their friends have been telegraphed for, who are supposed to be at Buffalo, New York.— Charleston (W. Va.) Courier.
