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' craL 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.

[Great applause.] Rut, brudders, I does say—l does say an I’ll icinstate what 1 say, 1 does say dat Go.l will feed his black people charged wid wuk,” (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 ity by voting to retain them, l’reserve this list for future reference: Those voting in the affirmative are Messrs.

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. - We publish the following .Act for general information : An Act to provide Jurors for special or c-allod Terms of the Superior Court of the coun ties of this State fur the trial of Criminal cases.

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 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.
