The Maine Election.


PORTLAND, Me-, September 10, 1865.
The result OF the Maine election has been q
surprise to everybody, and to none more than
to the Radicals themselves. Up to noon to-
day the most saucuinc Of them did not talk
Or dream Of doing. more than to keep up
their majority to within few thousand Of
Inst year. an absolute gain WIS beyond
their calculations. Much Of the result Is due
to the extraordinary energy Of the Radicals.
their complete organization and the Inn
voters, much more, however, to Tho listless-
cnce Of the Democrats. They began
badly, got worse rs they went on,
and ended in miserable faseo. Tho Demo.
cratic leaders seemed to assume that every
yeass would support them this year as q
matter Of course. and In no part Of tho State
has anything like systematic canraas been
carried on BY the Administration party.
Through their remlssncss tho State Is once
more handed over to the tender mcrcles Of
"Iligler law" Little or no Governmsut
election. Tho Kistcry Navy Yard WAS the
only point where roters wcrc gained BY any
thus Obtained has been neutralizcd By the
promises which Senator Fesscudcn hos dis
frILutetl by Wholesale among the. other
ot1lccholdcrs Of making everybody md every
thing right a. " asnlnkton.
Portland city has cast comparatively
small votc. The great fire swept away some
Of the most Democratic wards, lcay!nE more
than t8o thousand voters housclesa. Great
numbers Of these have len the city. OF
those who remain large proportion are Irish,
who for the Inst tsTo months have been loua-
cd and fed BY the Radical Mayor and cotpo-
ration. and have to look to tho sane source
for their support during the winter. This
circumstance h1s been used to the best al-
vantage, and probably accounts for many
Irish votes that we're cast for tho Re-
publican ticket. The Fenlan. excite
meut will probably explain few more
votes thrown In the came direction. Nor
wns the circumstance OF the City Marshal
presiding over tho polls and closely watch
fng the ballots without Its influence upon the
numerous little llQuor store keepers whose
establishments a word from that civic func'
tlonary would close.
Whatever the explanation here and else.
where, 1t is certain that quite number Of
Democratic Irish have this year voted With
the Radicals.

IlKE CDUP DsETAT.

Tic article which VIC copy elsewhere from
the New York Times, the sc,ni-oficial organ
of the Administration, may be taken as the
reply OF Andrew johnson and his dcsper-
ndocs to the Maine election. It is au arowa1
Of the purpose, which, VIC have repeatedly
declared, If entertained by the President, TO
recognize the Coppcrheads and rebels in tho
next Congress as the real Congress OF the
United Stats, provided tue Copperhcads
carry sufficient number of districts tlis fall
to make a majority Of tho Housc, counting
The excluded rebels in thc number. It is u
distinct avowal Of 1 reasonable anu rcvolu-
tionary dcrIgn-a purpose which would be-
instantly met By the Impeachment nf the
President, and his removal from Office. II,
In such case, Andrew Johuson shoull.tssuc
an order to any military officer, directing
the employment OF force against the lawful
Congress, the act would c0ne within the
definition OF treason, and would subject him
to capital punishment, trh:ch he 'cou'd surely
