Tilt; VOTE IN MAINE.
Although the first reports of the election in
Maine seems to indicate Republican gains in
all the principal towns of the State, it should
not occasion any misgivings as to the general
result in November. There are several rea
sons why not only Maino but all the New
England States, may reasonably be expected
to co even by an increased vote for the Re
publicans as the result of the very cause which
will condemn that party_in all other sections
of the country.
In tho first place the great manufactures of
that section have a very large pecuniary inter
est dependent on the favors bestowed by the
Radicals at the expense of the producing clas
ses of theother States. This gives the mon
oy power there to the service of tho Republi
cans.
Then the mass of the voters in those States
are unlike those of the other States in that
they are sb utterly under the control of their
» omployers that their votes are less expressive
of their own sentiments and wills than of those
of their employers, who are bribed by the
onormous favors bestowed on them in the form
of protective tariff's and other class legisla
tion.
Thus while tho mass of men in those States
have the privilege of voting, their votes are as
absolutely controlled by their employers as if
they were owned by them. This does not
apply to the agricultural sections of tho great
North and West.
In addition to this it can scarcely be neces
sary to remind our readers, who recollect tho
wonderful achievements of Ilulbcrt, that
where the Radicals have full control, as they
have in all New England except Connecticut,
they can make their majorities as large as they
wish by “sharp and quick” manipulation of
tho election returns. And while in States
where their control is unlimited they can do
this nhd make their majority whatever they
please, in those States where the majority is
against them the people will not submit to
such fraud. Rather than porniit their iniquity
to he exposed by a change of the party iu
power, the radical leaders of the Republican
party will resort to the most desperate meas
ures of fraud and violence. Tho only hope of
the return of justice and peace is in the tri
umph of tho Democratic ticket by such an
overwhelming majority as will intimidate the
destruetionists and cause them to yield peace
fully to the popular .will. It is idle to expect
any other termination to the present contest
but (he triumphant establishment of the right.
The temporary prevalence of injustice and
wrong may defer the triumph of the right;
but by the irreversible decreo of Heaven, in
the end eternal justice must prevail, and this
will inevitably sink Radicalism into the bot
tomless pit of popular condemnation.
The increased majority of the Radicals in
tho large pities is no more than should have
been anticipated, since those “ulcers on the
body politic,” as an eminent writer has justly
denominated large cities, are the strong holds
of Radical corruption. The vote from the
rural districts even of Maino will probably
show a different result, but it is half an ac
knowledgement of defeat when Republicans
exult over their success in that section. It is
as if the Dutch boasted of their triumph in
holding Holland. Indeed,* should the total
vote of Maine give tho Radicals less than
27,00f) majority it will be a loss to them since
18GG, when they last had their full strength at
the polls.
Let the people, then, keep their spirits
cheerful in the struggle. Let them remember
that they cannot afford to allow the Radicals
to cam' the election in November. It is not
a mere party contest. The success of the
Democracy is the -only hope of tbe people for
' perservation of civil and religious liberty. In
such a struggle doubt is weakness; hesitation
C iwardice; and desertion of our cause in this
extremity is criminal beyond tbe pale of com
mon guilt.
Grant.— lt may not be generally known,
but Grant is a poeL While at West Point,
and afterwords during his military career, he
frequently amused himself with “metrical
(imposition.” Here is a sweet little epigram
thrown off by him some years ago in a moment
of intox—we mean of inspiration :
“Into the pure and crystal cup
A gill I poured of ancient rye,
And as with this I mixed it up
The water smiled—and so did I.”
Wbnt it Will Lead To.
Have candid, inodorate men, enbsidCiefl
what will he the consequence of a triumph of
the Jacobin party in the coming electron ? '
Men of violence, revolutionary in their spirit,
intent upon carrying out impracticable theo
ries, is it safe to leave the Government longer
in their hands? The country has had no mo
ment of repoSe since they eafuo into power,
and every sane man must sec that it can have
none while such men rule. Should their
Presidential ticket be elected, and the majori
ty in Congress still bo with them, they will
claim that their policy, their most extreme
measures, have been indorsed, and they will
be more violent than ever. Should there be
any who believe that Grant would be disposed
to moderation, is there any one so weak as to
suppose that he emild restrain them? No,
they would cast him aside as they have John
son, and as more than likely, they would have
treated Lincoln, had he lived.
The history of the French Revolution is full
of instruction and warning. Tiiero the nr d
erate men, one after another, all went down
before the fury of tho Jacobins. So it ha
been in other countries, and will be here, until
the party itself shall be put down, by the up
rising of tho sober-minded, order-loving people,
who have become tired of the violence of fanat
icism, and alarmed at the prospect of inter
minable disorder and over-increasing extrava
gance and corruption.
Does any man hope for repose for stability,
for order and prosperity, with the Government
in the hands of such a party ? It is without
practical wisdom, without statesmanship, and
devoted to visionary theories and impracticable
schemes which as experiments will fail, and
and yet will be persisted in to destructive
ends, because there will be wanting both ca
pacity to discover, and candor and patriotism
to adopt, measures of deliverance and safety.
And while they have been making a show of
reducing expenditures, for effect upon the
Presidential election, no sooner will they re
ceive the popular indorsement, and the further
lease of power, which they are seeking, than
they will come iu with deficiency hills to pro
vide for expenditures which they have well
known their policy and the greed of their par
tisans would demand, hut which have been
artfully kept back till after election. Assured
of a continuance iu power, the flood-gates of
extravagunce and corruption will ba opened,
and they will find pretexts for running up the
expenditures by hundreds of millions, and debt
aud taxation will increase to an extent that
will despoil the country of prosperity, crush
enterprise, paralyze and impoverish industry,
and turn tho people into sullen and hopeless
bondmen to the consolidated wealth of the
owners of the banks, bonds and factories, or
diive them to revolution.
Wo warn capital to beware of toe fate which
it is provoking. Push not the people to des
peration. With the strength to take what they
need, they will not long go hungry or naked.
Beware of the cry of bread or blood 1
Bread or Blood l
It has been heard in other lands—o, with
what terrible associations! Let not wealth,
and monopoly, and greed, provoke the repeti
tion here, of what we shudder to contemplate,
but which cannot be avoided, if this Jacobin
party is still to rule over us. If in their short
sighted selfishness and folly, tho banks, tho
scrip-barons and the cotton lords buy the elec
tion for these oppressors and robbers of the
land, the time will come when their ill-gotten
and ill-used gains will perish before the wrath
of the people, and freedom will be won amid
scenes which it will Lave been the tolly
of tbe money-kings not to have averted
by timely concessions, and their madness to
have provoked by haughty bearing and un
sparing and crushing exactions.-— IT. Y. DcmO'

A Wonderful Individual.
All great cities arc full of strange charac
ters, but at present New Orleans excels in this
respect. Living there is an individual whose
remarkable career is almost without a parallel
in the annals of romance. He was born in
Indiana and is new about forty years of age.
Ilia name is Edward Caruthers. Being en
gaged in a personal difficulty with a man
named Simpson, at Madison, in the tall of
1846, he killed his antagonist and fled to the
American army then entering Mexico. At the
battle of Chepultepeo lie wasjjtaken prisoner
and lay for months in a Mexican dungeon.
Being released at last he married a Spanish
girl and settled on the Rio Grande. Here be
ing attacked by the Indians, himself and fami
ly were carried into.captivity where he again
spent two years. Effecting his escape ho join
ed a ranger company, and was shot in a fight
with the Camanchcs, scalped and left fur dead.
He, however, recovered and joined the Wal
ker expedition to Nicaragua, where he was
wounded, captured aud again imprisoned.
But being again released be sailed for the Uni
ted States. The vessel he was in was wrecked
and he barely escaped with his life, lie was
one of the passengers on the ill-fated Evening
Star, and again escaped death where so many
perished. lie is now a resident of New Or
leans, and delights in relating adventures
which are certainly remarkable to a last
degree.
How Tuev Get Guns. —Much surprise is
often expressed in relatiou to liow and where
the negroes in some sections obtain the new
Enfield rifles with which they parade. A cir
cumstance related to us by Major Mnxson, 6f
South Carolina, may help to unravel the mys
tery :
Some weeks ago a coffin was received at
Newmarket, a station on tlie railroad about
Dorn’s Mine, in Edgefield District, marked to
a noted Radical. The suspicions of the sta
tion master being excited by its weight, it was
opened and found to contain new Enfield rifles.
These were taken out, and in a few days after
the coffin was delivered to tho person to
whom it was directed, who had the prudence
to keep silent in regard to the loss of the con
tents.—lidbvtkin Gazelle , lOIA.
A f. icil JKadica! Ot.itoi.
The Mobile Tribune giving an account of a
Radical meeting held in that city, describes
one of the "orators,” and reports his speech as
follows:
“His wool stuck out on each side of his
head like the sails of a ‘clrooiior running be-,
fore the wind. Hu wore an old threadbare
blue Coat, adorned with brass buttons, ami
binding so tightly under the arms that the lat- '
ter members hung off from his body at an an - j
gleof forty-five degrees. A huge paper collar |
doubled up his ears and forced him to walk on j
tip-toe.
110 wa.- received with “immense applause,”
particularly by the Democrats who attended in
large numbers in anticipation of fun.
“Feller citysuns,” be began, “I rises to
drcvi you cl is ebenin on de half of Grant and
Coldflax. AVc hub rites as black men an rites
as white men, for de biblo sez dar’a stars of

vens of God would feed de nigger what had

ticket—de same as dey feed King Solomon In
all he glory on top of de Rocky Mountains—
I say (here the speaker raised his left foot
aloft, bent his body forward, and bringing hi
elbow to within a few inches of tho railing
before him, beat the air slowly with his right
fist) —I say dat what de Tribune say "bout
what I say ’bout de panoply ob de ravens is a

applause.]

(Thunders of applause, amid which the
speaker gracefully retired, his paper collar
entirely gone, and immense rips in his coat
immediately under his arm pits.”)
Negro Senators Expelled.
On Saturday the 12ui hist., after a full dis
cussiou of the claims of negroes to occupy
seats in the Senate, they were expelled by the
vote given below. It will be observed that
while the Democrats could not have ejected the
negroes against the united vote of the white
Radicals, enough of them voted with the Dem
ocrats to throw them out, while a tew note
consistent in their devotion to ntgro superior

list for future reference:
Those voting in the affirmative are Messrs.

A Striking Medi* •! XV.’At.
There is no career which so it.j idly wears
away the powers of life, Because there i; no
other which requires so great an activity, both
of body and mind, as that of tho medical man.
He lorn to hour the changes oi the weather,
continual fatigues, irregularity in liia meals,
broken rest, and to live frequently in the midst
of miasma aud contagion, if iu tho country,
to traverse considerable distances through by-
Janes and dreary paths, on horseback, ami
sometimes perhaps on foot, exposed to storms,
and wind, to brave all dangers, to gc to the
relief of suffering humanity—and this ton
frequently without any remuneration. A
fearful truth for.medical men lias been estub
lished by the table of mortality, of Dr. Caspar,
published in the British 11 view —t iz : 01
I,UOU members of the medical j icfessiou, GUO
died before their 02d year, whilst of persons
leading a quiet life, such agriculturists, or
theologians, the mortality is only 347 in a
thousand. If we take Id individual, of those
classes,] 43 theologians, 40 agriculturists, 85
clerks, 32 soldiers, will reach their seventieth
year, hut of 100 medical men twenty-four
only will reach that age. They ar sign
posts, on the road to health, but they rarely
tread in it themselves. How emphatically
may it be said of them, “In the midst of life
they aro in death and how important that
they be found as the wise virgins, with “their
lamps trimmed, and they themselves waiting
for the coming of the bridegroom.”
At a spiritual meeting in Brooklyn, the spirit
of Thad Stevens was present, and iu response
to the question, “How are you situated?” re
plied, “Red hut!” Leading Republicans,
take notice.
Despairing. —The Ohio Stale Journal, the
leading Radical organ es that State, is desper
ate in view of tho situation. It concludes a
dolorous leader on the prospect as follows :
“For Heaven’s sake, friends, work! Yvork
fi-om this day until the election, or we are
beaten in Ohio, in Indiana, in Pennsylvania
in New Y ork, and in the whole country I”
An old gentleman was relating a story of
one of the St. Lawrence boatmen : “lie has
a hard head,” said lie, • lor lie stood under an
oak in a thunder stonn, when the lightning
struck the tree, and he 1 dodged it seventeen
times, when finding he could uot dodge it any
longer, he took nine claps in succession on his
naked head, aud never even flinched.”
Donator Doolittle on Negro NuiiVage.
The above uumod g ntlenian addressed a
Democratic meeting al Adrian, Mich., on tho
28ih ult,, and spoke on the sul jeet of negro
suffrage, as follows:
“The States of the South have as much right
to fix tho qualifications of their electors as the
States of the North, under the constitution.—
To deny that is to deny that the constitution is
the supreme law of the land, over the South a9
well ns the North. Let us now practically
apply the doctrine upon this point contained in
tho platform of the republican party—this
double-faced platform, that has a dark face for
the South and a white face for the North
—this double-tongued platform, which de
clares that tho people of tho North have
a right to determine for themselves, in their
Stales, who shall vote, while in the South the
people of the North, or rather the radicals of,
the South, have the right to say who shall vote,
and not the people of those States themselves.
Suppose the Chief Justice of the United States
should be called upon in the State of Pennsyl
vania to refer to the Constitution, and. should
open that volume and read tho words which it
contains. Does it not contain the same words
when he opens it in Pennsylvania that it con
tains wh3n he opens it in Virginia? Does fit
read any different when read in Virginia from
what it reads to the people of Pennsylvania ?
A man must be a fool to suppose there is any
difference in it.
I have stood in the Senate of the United
State.- and seen those men who in 1865 united
in resisting this'usurpation upon the constitu
tional rights of the Smith, denouncing the idya
of forcing negro suffrage down the throats jof
unwilling people—men who-stool by me and
then represented three fourths of the republi
can party—l have seen them go over, one by
one through the influence of caucus dictation.
But fellow-citizens, there were two or three
spirits in that body that have not bowed the
knee* to Baal. There is Lbxon, of Connecticut,
and Norton, of Minnesota, who with me stood
with the Republican party when it maintained
tho.doctrines of Lincoln and Johnson in a re
construction policy based upon the rights of
the whites of the Southern States. They have
stood-by the const nation they took an oath to
support, and they have not broken it. I claim
no merit in this that I had kept my oath when
other men hud failed to do so. It was a s<)l
ernu duty 1 owed the constitution ami the
country 1 loved. When I entered tho Senate
of the United States, I raised my right hand,
and in the presence of Almighty God swore to
support the e institution of th 9 United Status.
That oath, which was thu> taken, was regis
tered in heaven as well as upon earth, and
there is no earthly eon side atinn, no eavtldy
power, no party dictation, no caucus resolution,
that can drive me to a violation of that oath.

Civil War and Repudiation.
These n.ro the two great bugbears that the
Radicals are holding up as the consequence of
a Deinoerntic success in the Presilentlal elec
tion. Who is to create a civil war in the event
of Seymour's election, wc cannot imagine, un
less it be the Radicals and "the negroes, and
no such threat from them will scare any one
very badly. So far as the Southern whites
are concerned, there can certainly be nothing
to apprehend, as all they ask for is equal and
exact justice, and that the Democrats propose
to give them. We mean that every unjust
and oppressive law that lias been placed upon
the statute books shall he fairly adjudicated
by the highest courts, and a Democratic exec
utive will enforce that decision, no matter
what that law may be, or how greatly it is in
conflict with (lie principles of either the Dem
ocratic or Radical party.
Repudiation, in their view, means paying
the bondholder in the same money that the
laborer, the mechanic, and the soldier arc paid
in—the legal tender of the country. To call
tiiis repudiation, however, comes with a bad
grace from the Radical party, who made our
greenback currency and stipulated on the
back of every note that it was “good for the
payment of all debts public cud private, ex
cept duties,” etc. They themselves want to
repudiate the whole greenback issue, by de
claring that these notes shall not be a legal
lender in all* cases specified in the contract
made with tlieiy receivers.— N. Y. World.
The Radicals are extremely solicitous übout
the sensibilities of the Democrats in regard
to the fact that large numbers of negroes in
the Southern States are beginning to vote the
Democratic ticket, Who forced negro suffrage
upon the unwilling people of the South ? The
Radical party. If tlie black pets of Radical
ism choose to vote with the Democrats, we
can’t help it they are forced to vote by the
Radicals. If they vote the Democratic ticket
it is not the fault of tho Democrats, but of
those who made them voters. If you, Messrs.
Radicals, had not forced the ballot into their
hands, they would not vote the Democratic
ticket or any other. Hut you have put the
club into the hands of the negro, and if he
uses it to break your own heads, you can
blame noliody but yourself. Don’t come cry
ing to us about it.— Si. Joe Gazette.
llou the < use Stands.
Thp following extract is from a speech de
livered by Hon. C. L. Vallandighain, in But
ler county, Ohio, on Friday last:
How stands tho ense now 'J be white men
of the South laid down th.-ir arms with tho
eloso of the war, and having fought ns they
say, in good faith, surrendered also in good
faith, determined henceforth to abandon—ns T
tell you they have abandoned, l cave not what
is said for political effect—-tli thought or pur
pose of contending against the authority of the
Government of tho United States. Having
given it up, they are determined to he goop
citizens, patriotic citizens—not “loyal,” w.c
aro not lovnl—but patriotic citizens, attached
to the Constitution of tho United States and
tho Union of our fathers. This Congress
knew that if these men were restored to their
rights, a- they ought to have been restored
upon their surrender ; as the Roman ’ restored
their civil rights to those who fought against
them in (heir civil war: as the Britons re
stored their opponents in their wars of the
Roses, and in all other civil conflicts that have
arisen in Great Britain ; they knew that if
these white men were restored to their rights
they would vote the Democratic ticket, and to
prevent Ahem from giving their influence to
the Democratic party, you iiuvo been taxed at
the rate of three millions a year. That is the
secret of it. Nor is that all.
They knew, further, that if, at the eloso of
the rebellion, these white men of the South
were not disfranchised—disabled from bolding
office or voting—the negroes-would vote with
the white men of the . South, and it would
secure the return of the Democratic party to
power. Knowing this, they were resolved'npt
only to disfranchise these men, but to feabvurt
and destroy their State governments, after
having given a solemn pledge in Congress that
the day after the war was over, and the South
had surrendered, all the States should have
their rights and privileges unimpaired. They
were resolved to destroy these State govern
ments, and to put upon them five military
despotisms, and every district was under
the control of a military commander,
who had tho power of subverting civil law,
destroying the Supreme and Inferior Court
of these States, taken away their powers from
even Justices of the Peace, from country offi
cers, and Committed the entire civil power of
those districts, including two and three States
each, so that civil suits to recover sums of
twenty dollars or five dollars were tried by
military commissions, beeimse there was no
thing hut martial law there. And why all
this? To-dav, through the power of the mili
tary commission, and at the expenditure of
nearly a thousand millions of dollars, they
have subverted the regular State governments
there, and substituted w hat they call “recon
structed” State governments.
Alarmed at tho complaints of the people,
their fearful outcry, they undertook at tue
close of Congress to relieve the e reconstructed
governments of the army and restore civil
authority. As'a consequence, the negro, f >l
- instincts, began to vote with his mus
ter, aud they trembled lest these seven State
shall give their electoral votes for Seymour
and Blair.
And now, not content with haying spent
three hundred millions a year during three
ye:n u of pence, they are about, on the re-as
i gambling of their Congress, to reconstruct tlf«
reconstructed negro governments by sending
back tiie army there and increasing the ex
penditures again. Arfd- all this h a part of
this Republican administration, a continuation
and amplification of v h you are kindly
promised if you will only vote for Grant and
Colfax.
Terrible Earthquake.
The following meagre accounts of the late
awful earthquake in Mouth America, were
reported in Sunday's dispatches by telegraph :
New York, September 13.—The ship Guid
ing Star brings advices of a terrible earthquake
in Peru and Ecquador, in which 25,000 lives
wove lost and a dozen cities destroyed.
The stpresliip Fredoiriais reported destroyed
by an earthquake. She had only 100,00 • dol
lars worth of stores.
Neither tho State nor the Navy Departments
have official reports of the earthquake, though
its occurrence is fully confirmed by private
letters.
The crcw r of tli.o Fvgdonia consisted of 13
petty officers and 1 I trends, none were of
American birth.
The earthquake incidents: ntTu-quois ix
hundred persons were drowned by tidal waves.
The Aroquipa tower of Saint (Jataiiens Church
is the only edifice left standing. Nearly all the
inmates of the hospitals arid prisons pprislied.
The course of the river is changed. Mount
Mistic is discharging lava and mud, which
emits a sulphurous odor. No one dare go
where the city was. People are living in tents
at Punctirphatas. Hundreds were crushed by
falling houses. At Arica an American hark
loaded with guano was swallowed. At Tre
quin one hundred and fifty lives, mostly chil
dren returning from school, were lost. The
town of Shegre was swept away, only twenty
five hundred inhabitants escaping.’ Tbe nitre
works nt Esquignoe were destroyed.
Bellinghurst, the British Crmsnl, was killed.
The American bark Condor was lost— crew
saved. The loss at Quininee (?) is two ipil
mions and a half. At Chiucha Islands there
was first a hurricane, then an earthquake, and
then a tidal wave. Several English vessels
wore damaged. A Prussian bark was wredd
ed. Over three hundred thousand people arc
without shelter or broad.
Cotton. —From present appearances, there
can hardly be a doubt that the cotton crop in
this section of Georgia and Florida will not
only bo cut off one-half by the cuterj itlar and
bull-worm, but every lock of the present crop
will have been carried to the gin-lmuse and
most of it taken to market by the first of De
cember. Within a week from to-day the fields
that huvo not been picked will be perfect y
vGiite, and will have to be very ranid
to prevent loss.— Bainbndge Argus.
