THE MAINE ELECTION The result of
the late Gubernatorial election in Maine
shows ON increase Of about ten thousand
Democratic votes over the number polled at
the Presidential election. This looks as if
they were gradually emerging from their
darkness; faint streaks of returning day are
visible in that land of sunrise. Maine is
just as certain to pull down the black flag Of
still blacker republicanism as she is to re-
main free from the clutches of Mormonism
The Maniacs" are altogether too enlight-
ensd people to remain long under po-
litical eclipse.

VICKsBURG. SHREVEPORT AND TEXAS RAILROAD
In calling attention to the progress of the Pacific
road in last weeks issue, took the liberty Of re-
fecting upon the President and Directors of Our road
for their Incidence and supineness. It gives us
pleasure to announce that this portion Of the line
from Shreveport to Texas is under contract Messrs
Hodge Landrum and Howell men Of property, talent
and energy, have taken hold Of the work, and have
given their bond for $25 900 to complete the road in
the time specified,
They receive part in cash as the work progresses
and the balance in bonds with ample securities Our
are sufficient to build this twenty miles, and
put it in running order in twelve months, il these
gentlemen display their usual industry and enterprise.
Oneourth Of the grading is already completed which
renders the undertaking comparatively easy one to
accomplish.
We would urge upon our neighbors in Texas the
importance of making a connection with us. Let
them grade their road and take up the iron, on the
branch which dverges to SwansOn's landing, by the
time our portion is finished. They cannot rely upon
the lake, which is filling up rapidly, and is navigable
only few months in the year, while we have navi
CATION ten and often twelve months. They may con-
dently expect our road to be built to the Mississippi
in four or five years. With such inducements, they
cannot hesitate as to what course they should pursue
To reach Shreveport by continuous line of railroad
neighbors.
As soon as the road extends from Vicksburg to
Marshall the capitalists, and perhaps the general
government, may take the road in hand and complete
it to El Paso, and from thence to San Diego, on the
Pacific. We bound together by the ties of mutual
interest and mutual dependence. Letus act in unison,
and we may yet be able to accomplish all that our
most sanguine hopes have suggested.

the abilities of Col Orr, the newly elected Speaker

Col. Orr is, perhaps, the most popular man in the.
House, at the same time that be is one OF the most
able, though no one doubts or denies the very din
tingushed abilities of Mr. Phelps. The latter gentle
man is, however, little colder hammered than the
genial Caroinian. and is somewhat less ready than
his competitor. Col. Orr is an accomplished parlia-
mentarian q man Of fine presence, as you know,
and as Think, statesman Of the very first order
As debater his position is in the first rank, his
graceful oratory adornng the representative chamber
and the popular assembly alike. And what, besides,
is no unimportant commendation, considering how
the speakers chair has been filled for the last two
years, he is an honest man. whom the corrupt lob
byites, who were supposed to be too near the little
iron man Of Massachusetts, will find it impossible
to approach. Col Orr is man Of altogether another
stamp from the late speaker: know few public mem
who may be safely trusted to act according to hip
convictions Of right and less liable to the corruptne
influence of the lobby. Emphatically, be Is . man
of honor. and possesses the genuine chiyaric eeBgs
