The Mafse klection.

Since the official returns began to
come in, the radicals have ceased crow.
ing about the Maine election. They
committed the old folly OF hurrahing be-
fore they were out of the woods and
while the only returns they had were the
sanguine estimates of their party friends,
they shouted themselves hoarse over the
heavy gains they supposed they had
made. The official returns are now be-
ing counted and our radical brethren
sing exceedingly small. At first they
claimed 10000, then $4,000, then $4,000,
and now it is extremely doubt
full whether tho radical majority
will exceed $4,000. If this be the case,
it will exhibit an increase Of twenty-five
per cent CD the Democratic vote and
about five per cent on the Republican
vote over that of last year. Such radi'
cal victories" are not very dangerous
and don't exhibit much of ground
swel1' in favor of the Congressional pol
icy. At that rate, the Democracy will
carry all the States in which elections
are yet to be held.

WHISKY AND WATER "A novel case of
double swindling is now being Investl'
gated by the United States authorities
in this city. 1t appears, thus far, that
some parties in New York contracted
with other parties in this city for one
hundred and fifty barrels OF whisky at a
very low figure. The New Workers were
to have the barrels fraudulently stamped
The arrangements were made known TO
deputy collector by one of the persons
interested, who, at the same time, slipped
a loan of 1000 into the collectors hands,
The barrels were duly shipped-one hun
dred per Baltimore railroad, thirty by
Camden and Amboy railroad, and twenty
per Raritan canal. The collector, how
ever, seized the entire lot before 1T left
