The Nation, on the other hand, anticipates very
favourable results to the Republicans from the
October zlections. It says Seymour may carry
Pennsylvania (doubtful), New York (not certain),
Connecticut (which will go Republican if Pennsyl-
vania goes so in October, and possibly will go so
in any event), Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey (a State which
there is a chance of Grant's carrying), Oregon,
Alabama (which is as yet doubtful), Arkansas,
Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, and Virginia, and Grant
will still have more than he needs." Of all the
modes of calculation which have as yet appeared
the most ingenious is given by a gentleman who
numbers the letters of the alphabet, then takes

:e each ticket, and triNealdition of
all is the total number of electoral votes, counting
the three excluded States. Of this number the
alphabet gives the Democratic ticket 177, and the
Republican 140, which is a confirmation of what
BB air asserts, that Heaven has decreed Democratic
s cress :

A Republican caucus on Monday evening, Aug.
24, at Northamptonshire, 'Western Massachusetts,
chose delegates to the State Convention as fol-
lows :—W. Hill, Webster Herrick, B. S. Johnson,
C. S. Crouch, W. F. Arnold, Luke Lyman, H. S.
mere, S. T. Spaulding, Arnold Barson, Christopher
Clarke. They were specially instructed to urge
the calling of future conventions on the basis of
Republican votes, instead of that of polls, without
regard to party. A Grant and Colfax club was
formed with Colonel Luke Lyman as president, as
vice-presidents, L. G. Dudley and Bela Gardner;
secretary, H. S. (-ere ; treasurer, N. B. Hussey,
and executive committee, Colonel J. B. Parsons, J.
C. Ames, and Enos Parsons.

The largest Republican gathering of the season
was held at Bath (Maine) on Tuesday night, when
E. A. Storrs made a two hours' address, and Henry
Tallman renounced his connection with the Demo-
cratic party, with which he has acted for 40 years,
and gave his adhesion to what he believed to be the
party of progress and of peace.
The Congressional nominations in Maine are as
follows :—Republicans—First district, John Lynch ;
second, S. P. Morrill; third, J. G. Blaine; fourth,
John A. Peters; fifth, Eugene Hale. Democratic
—First district, Charles A. Shaw ; second, Alonzo
Gareelon ; third, E. %V. Farley ; fourth, George
W. Ladd; fifth, Amos Wisewell. The Republican
majorities in 1866, in all the districts, were as fol-
lows :—First district, Lynch's majority, 3,958 ;
second district, Perham's majority, 6,421 ; third
district, Blaine's majority, 6,581 ; fourth district,
Peter's majority, 5,485 ; fifth district, Pike's ma-
jority, 4,378.
The day for holding the Connecticut Republican
State Convention in New Haven had been postponed
from Sept. 2 to Sept. 10.
The Republicans were called to meet at New Ha-
ven on Sept. 2, to nominate candidates for Presi-
dential electors.

The Westfield Democrats had chosen as their
delegation to the State Convention at Worcester,
September 2, to nominate Presidential electors :
Reuben Noble, Henry Fuller, George Rose, Leo-
nard Atwater, W. W. Shepard, John Avery, E. P.
Parks, Munroe W. Perkins, J. H. Wessels, and
Thomas Horrigan.
The Pittsfield delegates to the Democratic State
Co nvention,to assemble Sept. 2, w ere—C ebra Quack-
enbush, John C. West, George Y. Learned, D. C.
Munyan, W. M. Root, T. E. Cole, Thomas F.
Plunkett, P. Allen, A. E. Goodrich, John E. Mer-
rill, Owen Coogan, and J. N. Dunham.

Apparently the campaign in the Southern States
gets more and more bitter, despite the somewhat less vio-
lent language which the orators have been warned to em-
ploy. Not that they do not allow themselves full
swing on all subjects but that of open war against
the present State Governments. They make up for
their enforced silence on that point by gross abuse of
their opponents. Wade Hampton says, in a speech made
in Anderson District the other day :—" These scallawags
and traitors should be branded with infamy and eternally
stigmatized. . . The word scallawag is used by
drovers to describe the mean, lousy, and filthy kine that
are not fit for butchers or dogs. . . . They have dis-
honoured their State, and heaped everlasting shame on
their families . . . There are no words in the English
language to express the utter contempt entertained by
me for these renegades and traitors"—white Unionists,
namely. For a year or so after the war a ma n suspected
of being a Yankee took his life in his hand when
he went into Anderson district; it is ono of the darkest
corners of the South. Possibly speeches like this last one
from Hampton may do something towards bringing back
tne halcyon days of 1865. Another gentleman, speaking
at the same meeting, says ;—" Who is Scott, before
kigh (leaven? He is the best-looking omnibus driver
I have seen in some time." " Scott" being General
Scott, a hard-headed, sensible Western man, a brave
soldier, and probably gentlemanly enough to think
meanly of himself if he should foam at the mouth and call
names when discussing the character and claims of his
political opponents. Colonel Thomas was another of the
Anderson orators, and of him we hear that " Colonel
Thomas then described the South Carolina Legislature as
a conclave of ignominy, ignorance, baseness, and depra-
vity."—Near York Nation.

On Monday morning an accident of a very alarming
nature took place at the Edgehill station of the London
and North-Western Railway Company, near Liverpool.
It appears that the train which leaves Rainhill generally
about 9 a.m. arrives at Edgehill in ten minutes or a quarter
of an hour, where the engine is uncoupled, and the carriages
descend the tunnel by the aid of brake-vans to Lime-
street station. On Monday morning the train approached
Edgehill more rapidly than usual, and the points at the
siding for shunting being open, the engine dashed through
and struck some empty waggons. There was a regular
smash of the waggons, the buffers of the engine were
broken, and the engine itself badly damaged. The pas-
sengers in the carriages at the fore part of the train were
severely shaken, and several of them were cut and bruised,
but none dangerously. As soon as the debris was cleared
away, the train proceeded down the tunnel to Lime-street,
where greatly exaggerated rumours concerning the acci-
dent were afloat.
