Glorification at the Election.

After the polls had closed yesterday after
noon, crowds focked to our Office to learn the
result. As the returns came in from the sew
swal wards, they were greeted with repeated
cheers so also were the returns from the
country towns.
In the evening the Office was crowded, and
the street In front of it was filed with an anx-
ious crowd As the returns came in they were
announced to the gathering outside, and were
received with deafening cheers.
At s o'clock in the evening the Portland
Band appeared and played some patriotic airs.
A procession was formed aud an immense
crowd, under command OF Col. William A.
Winship as Marshal, marched to the residences
of the candidates elect and greeted them with
cheers, which were responded to by Mr.. Spring
Senator elect, and Messrs. Larrabee, Woodman
and Lynch, representatives elect, in brief but
patriotic speeches. Mr.. Webb was absent
from the city. Afler visiting the elected MEM
bers Of the Legislature, the procession march
ed to the office of the Press, and gave rousing
cheers for the Union cause and the candidates
elected. During the progress of the procession
fireworks were let of, and the greatest enthu-
siasm was displayed.

Legality Of the Enrollme Mt Law.

The constitutionality of the law usually
styled CONSUMPTION act, has been denied by
some and questioned by others, and the Presi-
dent has been appealed to to suspend its ope-
ration till a case could be made up under it,
to have its constitutionality passed upon by
the highest judicial tribunal of the country.
We are told that when the bill was before the
senate, among all who opposed its passage no
one suggested unconstitutonality as an objec-
ton. Its constitutionality was virtually adj
mitted by all. Since it has been put in opera
ton few cases have been brought before judi
cial tribunals of more or less Importance, and
in no single instance that we have heard Of
has decision adverse to the law itself been
pronounced, except by Judge McCunn of New
York an officer elected by a constituency
similar to that which returned James Brooks
and Fernando Wood to Congress- man who
was ordered without the lines Of the Army of
the Potomac by Gen. Mcclellan, as an unfit
man to mingle with his soldiers.
The most important decision yet rendered
under this law is that by Judge Cadwalader of
Philadelphia, in the District Court of the U.
S. for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania
Judge C. fully affirmed the constitutionalitHof
the act. We have his decision before us, but
it is too long for our columns. In relation to
it the Philadelphia Press says:
In regard to the constitutionality of the
transcription act the opinion of Judge Cad
waader is positive, and the reasons upon
which it is based are clearly stated, and suffi-
cent. Assuming that Congress does not pos
sess the right to permanently establish for the
whole country military government, and is
unauthorized by the Constitution to enact
law which would compel men to remain for an
unlimited time in the military service of the
Republic, it shows that the act has no provi-
sion which is illegal upon these or other
grounds. The organization of armies under
the act ceases when the purpose for which it
was devised is fulfilled, and, no matter how
long the war should last, the term of service
of drafted men cannot exceed three years.
The opinion is positive in this, that 'such linn
itations OF the time would have prevented the
compulsory requirement of military service
from being unconstitutional, though it had in
cluded every able.bodied male inhabitant."
The strength of the argument, the lucidity of
its statement, the importance of the subject,
give the opinion claims upon the attention of
| the thoughtful citizen.

A Gain in the House of Repre-
30 sentatives.
Every County Gives Union Majority !!
GLORY ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY /!

Maine sends greeting to all creation, includ-
ing rebeldom. Monday, the 14th of Septem-
Der, 1868, will be ever memorable in the annals
of its history. In one of the most exciting
and desperately contested elections ever held
in the State, with draft bearing heavily upon
her people, with everything that could be done
to mislead the public mind, to contend against,
we have met the enemy, and they are ours.
A more complete rout was never experienced
by a vanquished party. Not copperhead is
to be found. Maine has sent the encouraging
word to her soldiers, that their State will stand
by them to the glorious end of this rebellion.
She has sent, in the most unmistakable Ian
guage, to the leaders in the rebellion, that
Maine will stand by the Government with her
men, her money and her votes.
The Union triumph is complete, exceeding
the expectations of the most hopeful. Maine
wheels gracefully into the column with Yer
mont, Caiuornia anu NeVaua, WIN ner zo,VOO
majority. Thanks to the loyal men of Maine,
who have come up SO nobly, and thanks to the
men of other States, vino have rendered such
valuable service. t E9ms
The Union men Of this city were jubilant
last evening, over their victory. As the news
came in from the different sections of the
State, it was received with the most deafening
cheers. Thousands Of citizens paraded the
streets with a band of music. The represen-
tatives were called upon and informed of their
until . late hour in the evening. Such time
Of rejoicing has not been known for many

The Result.

We give in our columns this morning re-
turns from 100 cities and towns, which show
the following result of the vote for Governor:
Cony, 4S,455; Bradbury, 29,429 Showing a
majority for Mr.. Cony OF 14,0l6
The vote in these towns last year was 2S,920
for Coburn, 1870 for Bradbury, and 1925 for
demonstrating a majority for Mr.. Coburn
of 44Sl.
The total vote in these towns last year was
$3.50. This vote is largely increased this
year, and if the remaining towns come in in
the same ratio, the majority for Mr.. Cony will
be from eighteen to twenty thousand.

There are, at the present time, acting as
volunteer nurses of the sick and wounded in
the hospital at Annapolis, five ladies of Port
land. Their labors are painful and arduous.
Their cry TO their friends is incessant for con-
tributons to help alleviate the suilerings of our
noble defenders.
One Of them, in recent lettsr to her mother,
says: at made my heart sink little lower than
l ever want it to sink again, when / saw men
brought up on stretchers from boat which
had just come from Belle Island The island
is long and narrow, containing three or four
acres, destitute of vegetation, and on it the
rebels have placed 5000 prisoners. They have
stripped them of everything but enough to
cover their nakedness; they have taken their
overcoats, blankets, and even their shoes and
stockings, to say nothing of money and other
valuables. One man l saw brought in to-day
had been lying on the island, without any coy
ering from the scorching sun Of August, for
twelve days; and, all that time, burning up
with typhus fever He was barefooted and
bareheaded, and the sorriest looking wreck l
ever saw. He will doubtless die. 1t is enough
to move heart Of stone to hear their stories
of their treatment there, but not complaint
did hear. They were free to talk when able,
and the Maine men bad many questions to ask
when they found had just come from there.
You spoke of sending me box when found
what was wanted. You cannot send amiss-
everything is wanted If you can wish you
would ill something with jelly shrub, barberry
water, pickles, or anything else. thought,
this morning, l would fast for the rest of my

among them of every comfort, aud the thank
fulness with which pickle was received by
those most needing. The convalescent ones
have to take what they can get. Anything
acid is most acceptable, as well as jellies for
extreme cases.
0 dear, never realized, it seems to me, that
there was all this in reality, although have
thought so much of it in the abstract"
Yes, noble souls of Portland, there is all
this in reality 1t is no dream. Although you
