The Maine Election.

We have this morning, returns from
It's towns in Maine of the election which
took place in that State on Tuesday for
Governor. These returns foot up ma
jority for Morrill,, Republican, of 5000.
The vote in the State is very light, and
the majority is therefore smaller than it
was last fall. But this cannot be called a
Democratic gain, as the vote for the Dem
ocratic candidate in the IT'S towns heard
from is $40 less than it was in the same
towns last fall. Maine is Republican all
over, and the assurance of this fact felt
by the Republican there made them less
anxious no doubt, TO vote than they other.

The MAN WHO BROKE THE TELEGRAPH
&c CABLE.-The letter Of Professor Morse
gives perfectly clear and understands
BILE explanation of the cause of the break
ing of the Atlantic Geographic cable, and
fixes the blame of the disaster where it
properly belongs. Mr.. Bright, the head
engineer, who had the laying of the cable
under his sole direction, appears to have
been the culprit. He had put the blame
upon ca mechanic" but Professor Morse
says that he ordered one of his subordi-
mates to apply the brakes, the ''mechanic"
hesitated, Mr.. Bright repeated the fatal
order. and the mischief was done, The
Professor sarcastically remarks that Mr..
Bright generously" gave a certificate
generating all persons on board the ship
from any blame for the disaster. Anoth-
er very important fact stated by Professor
Morse, is that the cable was running out
but very little faster than the rate at
which the ship was going.

The Testimony Law.
G. 4. LATHROP, Scc'y.

The Iowa City Republican, in speak
ing Of the opposition SO fanatically and
foolishly made by Ben NJ. Samuels and
his supporters. to that portion of the new
Constitution which declares that "any
party to a judicial proceeding shall have
the right to use as a witness, or take the
testimony Of any other person, not dis
qualified on account of interest, who may
DC cognizant of any fact material to the
case,' reminds these Democrats of some
facts which must be rather unpleasant to
them. Thus it states that every Free
State in the Union, with but two excep-
tons, has precisely the same law of evil
dence which Mr.. Samuels and his friends
SO bitterly denounce. Ex-Gov. Hemp
stead, of this city, was chairman of the
Committee on resolutions, adopted at the
late Democratic State Convention, and
probably was the author Of those resolu-
tions. But in 1850 Judge Mason, Ex-
Gov Hampstead, and Judge Woodward,
were Board of Commissioners to revise
the laws of the State. Sec. 1883 of the
revised Code. as reported by them, con-
tains the following clause
Every human being of sufficient ca
pscity to understand the obligation of an
oath, is a competent witness in all cases,
both civil and criminal, except as herein
otherwise declared"
Thus it is seen that the very man who
offered the resolution against the present
testimony law, in the late convention, as
sisted in amending the old code SO as to
make it conform to the present law -
Turth, that Judge Mason-who came
very near receiving the nomination for
Governor, in the same Convention-as
sistsd in thus amending the Code.
Thus, seven years ago, Judge Mason,
Governor Hampstead, and the other bright
and shining lights of the Democracy, oc-
cupied on this point what is now consid-
cred Black Republican ground. What
reason have they to give for deserving, as
they have, these plain principles of truth
and justice Dub. Rep.
