TUESDAY EVENING, NOV. 81, 1s4a.
THE GLOBE.

All our neighbors here, with the exception of
this journal, have greeted us with some sort of
notice, but the Globe continues to look down
upon us with contemptuous silence, and this, too,
notwithstanding we have several times Haunt
ed our Standard in lis very face We should
be justified, perhaps, in meeting this silencewith
the like dignity but it would not be appreciated;
we are young, and must not put on airs
Z The Globe seems to be, like its party, in
very peculiar position just now Its daily circu-
lation cannot be, we imagine, much over five
hundred, and its weekly in proportion. No longer
The Government organ, levyng black mail upon
office-holders, it has lost it's consequence. In
fact, it has been stated in the columns OF the
paper, that it was now published at an annual
sacrifice of some five or six thousand dollars
The publishers must have lined their pockets
wellin their PALMER days to stand this yearly de-
bit without hinching Some will be uncharita-
BILE enough to conjecture that the Globe has not
kept it's post in such disastrous circumstances
from motives Of pure fidelity to- its parIya party
that always keeps its sentinels foraging starv-
ing-but that it has been buoyed with the hope
Of once more getting hold Of the Congressional
printing, a contingency that would undoubtedly
furnish a very handsome Offset for its present
outlay; but here again, it seems to US, there are
certain powerful elements at work that threaten
to wrench this prize from its grasp. What with
Calhoun men, and Buchanan men, and Van Bu-
rem men that are not Globe-and-B Benton men, we
really think that the chance Of securing Globe
majority is somewhat doubtful, unless the Wings
may happen to be Of opinion that the Globe will
do them less injury than any other paper estab-
lished in its place. 1t seems to us, too, 1--WE
hope this interest in their affairs may not be
considered meddlesome and impairment that the
Globe itself has felt the awkwardness of its po-
sition, and sought, by getting up quasi quarrel
with Mr.. Kendall's paper, (the Expositor,) to
create a supposed rival with whom it may ulti-
mately share the spoils in case its own strength
be insufficient to secure the whole.
The Globe is an enigma just now. To-day it
attacks Mr.. Clay with sort of counterfeit zeal
in avery long prosy article about the tariff
which nobody thinks Of reading; tomorrow it
lets in communication favorable to Mr.. CAss; ;
the next day it has something soothing for the
Calhounites, and then throws out sugar-plum
for Mr.. BUCHANAN or Mr.. JOHNSON, all this time
secretly cursing the fate which compels it to
temporize with these troublesome gentlemen,
and contrasting its present humiiating condition
with the proud stand it once occupied, when it
had only to thunder its edicts from the Vatican
to bring all stray and unruly democrats" back
to the fold.

Mr.. Adams in Kentucky-A few days pre-
vious to the departure Of Mr.. Adams from Gin
cinnati for Pittsburgh, he crossed the river, at
the earnest invitation Of the citizens of Coving-
ton, and was welcomed to the city in an apprO-
pirate address by the Hon. James T. Morehead,
U. S. Senator from Kentucky. MIR. Adams re-
piled, as usual, in very happy and eloquent terms.
In the course of his remarks, he alluded to the
invitations which he had been honored with from
different public bodies, cities, and individuals in
the West. The following passage from his
speech is an honorable and just tribute to Mr..
Clay:
:" Not only have received invitations from
public bodies and cities, (continued MIR. Adams J
but also from individuals, among the first Of
whom was that great man, your own citizen,
who, during very large portion of my public
life, and in various public capacities, and in sew
eral instances in matters relating to your inter-
ests, has been my associate and friend, and the
recollection of whom, brings me TO the acknowl-
edgment, before this whole assembly, that in all
the various capacities in which have known
him to act, whether as associate as assistant or
acting independently of me, in his own indvid-
ual character and capacity, | have ever found
not only one of the ablest men with whom
have ever co-operated, but also one of the most
amiable and worthy. have received cordial
invitation from him to visit him at his residence"
Mr. Adams at Piitsburgh.-Mr. Adams reach
ed Pittsburgh on Thursday afternoon, rather I'M
expectedly. The impression was that he would
not arrive until the next day, and the prepare
lions for his reception were made accordingly.
The distinguished visiter was received by the
Mayor of the city, and escorted to the Exchange
Hotel. A great concourse of persons had assem-
abled at the hotel, and as he entered it he was
created with three enthusiastic cheers. On
Friday morning the military, fire companies, tenn
perance societies, literary associations and ci,i-
zens, formed in procession and passed through the
principal streets. Mr.. Adams rode in an open
barouche, drawn by four horses. In the same
carriage were the Mayors of Pittsburgh and AL
leghany, and the Hon. Mr.. Grinnell, who is ira
yelling with Mr. Adams.
Having arrived at the Exchange Hotel, the
procession halted and gave three cheers. Mr.
Adams was then conducted to a stand prepared
for the occasion, and welcomed to the city in
handsome address by Wilson McCandless, Esq,
to which the venerable man responded with
much feeling.
Mr.. Adams was to leave Pittsburgh yesterday
morning for the East.

MISSISSIPPI ELECTIONS.

We have as yet but few returns from the cleo
lions in Mississippi. In Adams county the vote
for Governor is: Htf04H
Clayton, Wing 679
Williams, bond-paying Dem. 81
Brown, repudiator BAL
Three Wings, Mcssrs. Winchester, Cotton,
and Maxwell were elected to the Legislature.
In Harrison county a repudiator is elected TO
the Legislature, but there is slight Wing gain.
From the complexion Of the vote in Adams
county, we have no doubt that the Regulators
have succeeded by decided majority SO roguery
is vet in the ascendant.

BY THIS MORNINGS MAIL.
MAINE. THE STAR IN THE EAST,

For the first time since the blghting era of
the vetoes, we have cheering news from Maine
There We're four naela.'ess Of Congress to elect
last Monday, and only one of the districts gave
Wing plurality al fhe State election in Sep
TENDER. We hoped Severance would be elected,
and would have compounded for that. But our
latest advices import that in the Kennebec Dis
rict Luther Severance, a first-rate Wing, is
elected by 1900 majority while in the Lincoln
District, Freeman II. Morse, Wing, is probably
elected-a most unexpected triumph. Returns
from nearly all the towns in the district give the
following result-bcing Wing gain Of some
1900.
For Freeman H. Morse, Wing, 3,441
/" Charles Andrews, Loco, 2,474
Abolition and Scattering 674
Morse ahead Of all 293
The towns to be heard from gave Morse LOG,
Andrews ass, Scattering Al, in September. So
Mr.. Morse has to gain l03 votes in those towns
to elect him, and we are confident he has done
it. This is the Comet District, extending some
200 miles from the Atlantic through the heart Of
the State to Canada Lincoln and Oxford coun-
ties being connected by a single township
(Greene) in Kennebec.
But this is not all. 1t is believed that even
the Eastern Hancock and Washington District
has elected Thomas Robinson, Wing. Thirty
Scattering SO. What the residue Of the district
will do we can not say, but we are confident
Cary is not elected. On the previous trial, the
Loco preponderance in this district was some
1000, divided between two candidates.
In the strong Loco District of Waldo, &C.,
there is pretty certainly again no choice-Mr
Scattering" leading Benjamin White, the reg
ular Loco, very handsomely.
Three cheers for the rising "Star in the East"
MASSACHUSETTS The Representatives elect
stand 176 Wing to 1875 Loco: 10S no choice
Many of these last are towns which have voted
not to send and dissolved the meeting; some
have exhausted their constitutional rightto send
Probably not over forty more will be chosen, and
a majority of these Wings. 176, the present
Wing number, was one-half the House last WIN
ter The Wing majority in the House can hardly
be less than 50 and the Senate will add to it 25
on Joint ballot, when the vacancies in the high
err branch are filled in Convention Of the TWO
Houses
VERMONT Hon. Jacob Collamer, the regular
Wing candidate, has, to moral certainty, been
elected to Congress from the Third District in
Vermont, which, at the State election, failed to
make choice, through disagreement of the
Wings. We have returns from thirty-four towns,
embracing three-fourths of the district, which
give the following aggregates:
Vote in Sep. Vote in Nov.
J. Collamer, Wing, 5000 4,l90
I. B. Ransom, Loco, 4,163 2,942
Abolition and Scattering 1,125 6l3
Majority against Collamer, 800; for c. 635
The remaing towns gave only 145 majority
against Collamer in September. He is Of course
elected now. So the delegation from Vermont
is complete-three Wings to one Loco Tribune.

Fire.-Last evening about seven o'clock, a
fire was discovered issuing from the roof Of a
house on Seventh street, near Pennsylvania
avenue, occupied by William H. Narrower, as a
stove and CRATE mandatory. ss aa
The fremen were early upon the spot but
owing to there being no water in the plugs,
some considerable time elapsed before they could
get to work. Notwithstanding the delay, they
confined the fire to the roof of the house in which
it originated The loss will not be over $500.
Why was there no waterin the plugs will the

CONVICTION OF THE MURDERERs or THE TE'

The three Indians, who have been on trial
for the murder of the Tegarden family, have
all been convicted. They are TO be sentenced
this morning-io be hung. The usual time
after conviction, and before punish
meni, is about twenty-five days. OF those
who furnished the poison that maddened these
men, we have nothing to say. Their conduct
was reprehensible, but, terrible was the rein
button. They were hurried from this world

These indians have had, as we believe, a
fair trial. Their able counsel have done all
they could do for them, But, the facts were
such as left the jury little or no room for hest
taion.
After two of them had been tried, they made
a foil confession Of their guilt.

BLOODY WORK IN kENTUcKY.---We learn

caucus. reiterated the charge; upon which Mr..
Clay assaied him with huge Bowie knife.
