Inateadof firing the re publican heart, the “ victory ” in Maine alarmed every* republican nominee from New llainjwdrirc to Floriila.

The Onlral Railroad. A glance through the report of Presi dent Wad ley (or the year ending the 31st of August is sufficient to disclose the reasons for the recent rapid rise in Cen tral.

All parts of the road ixmtribute<! to this hamlaome result—the increase of earnings on the Savannah division footing up $160,532 on the Atlanta division, $30,036; of the lank, $15,544; and on the Southwestern ooal, $Tv\287. Even the Tyson county awl produced $1,460 more than it did in 1S77. Tliese gains an* attributable to the recovery from the fever epidemic of 1876 and to the increasing prosperity of the farmers in the sections of the state tra vers'd by the n»ad and its numerous branches. The increase in net earnings is also due to au economy that was both strict and wise.

The wharves are lwire, industrial enterprises un closed up and nearly every tailoring man is out of employment. A meeting last Monday of nearly all the charitable :iss«gel ations devehqast the fact that with the ex ception of the Howard*, funds are nearly exhausted. Tlie Howard* furnish no state ment of the funds on hnnd; it may not tie consistent with the rules to do so. Provi sions are most needed, and iu my opinion the Orleans relief committee is the best or ganized for such distribution. They have re{M»rted the need of 00,000 rations in addi tion to wlmt have l>ee» issued I have no idea that that will Ik*enough.
