The State election in Maine on Mon
day the 9th, 50 far as returns are re-
ceived, shows large reduction of the
Republican majority for Governor, from
what it was last year. One hundred
and nine towns give Chamberlain rep.
27,T45 against 81, 600 last year. In the
same towns Pillsbury (dem. gets 49,
68S, against 1866 last year. The to-
tai vote Of the State will be about 100,
600, or 10000 or $4,000 less than last
year. Chamberlain's majority will be
from $4,000 to $4,000, not over half OF
that last year. The Democrats claim
10 have elected seven Senators to the
Republicans twenty four. They will
also have added something TO their
strength in the House, though the Re-
publicans will still be largely in the
majority.
The result is imputed not to any es-
sential change in the public sentiment
on national affairs, but in part to that
apathy on the part Of many republicans
which often attends confidence of de-
cided victory; but mainly to q great
rallying OF oil who were opposed to
some particular enactments Of last year
regarding the sale of ale and cider
These enactments many republicans
are opposed 10, and joined their votes
with those of the democrats to effect
their repeal. The general prohibitory
law is not likely to be disturbed, it be.
ing considered part OF the established
policy Of the State.
To the enquiry why these republicans
turned against the republican party al
this time says the Boston Traveller
we suppose many q Maine Republican
viii reply, in the words OF Blutus:--
This is my answer, Mot that / loved
the party less, but that l loved Run
more"

q shrewd and industrious politician, by
a system Of bargaining and trading with

to control vote sufficient TO make him

Republican organs, not only refus-

on him; and third candi late, Fay,
was put in the field with the avowed

LONDON, August, 20, 1867.
DEAR JoUREAL---Once more in Lon
don, and it is refreshing to be where
our own language is spoken, and to
know that we are SO far ON our road
home. 1t gives the heart peculiar
cheer, which Charlie demonstrates in
outbursts of comic song, now and then
winding up with little heel and toe
dance, in our old room at the Charring
Gross Hotel. crying out Lets do up
this old town in haste now, and start

Our trip from Paris was very pleasant,
with one exception, which you must
know about as you may sometime have
taste of it. Everybody that has ever
crossed the Straits of Dover dread it as
they do death, for in nine cases out Of
ten it is but little better than the fore
taste of giving up the ghost. Although
it is less than thirty miles across, and
takes but two hours TO make it, il is two
hours Of extreme misery The Atlantic
and German Oceans seem to keep up
a constant contention in this narrow
channel for the mastery, no matter what
the weather is, like two armies at war,
their angry waters clash and pile up
against each other terrifcally, and their
fearful roar plucks the courage from the
gravest hearts. Only small sized short
steamers can live TO ferry it. and these
are kept going twice per day to take
passengers and the mail to and from the
continent; there is no getting around
or avoiding it, and these steamers are
tossed about like a plaything, assuming
all angles, now diving into a gull, or
sliding down the side Of cross-waye,
now on bearns-end grooming. dashed on
all sides, seeming to labor as II in the ag-
onies Of death. The spray and waves

with the scene on board. which I will

the dock in waiting. We must go down

Coon PROSPECT FOR WuEAr.-A
writer in the st. Louis Democrat makes
some observations on the wheat ron
OF St.. Louis county, which, as the
weather has been similar, will probably
apply through ont the West. lie says:
"W heat was sown through the coun-
try to q larger extent than any previ.
Gus year. In the moist and warm
ground it terminated and sproutcd
within four or five days, and continued
growing till the frosts of the latter part
of November, when it showed u robust
stand, such as has not been seen for
many a fall. The thick coat of snow
(also grumbled at as q matter O fcourse)
now covering the ground, is another
blessing. III at snow shelters our wheat
as under a universal dollhouse, and Il
good one, too, keeping the plant alive.
but not allowing it's growth which is
the best possible condition. These
two points necessary to the much need
ed coming crop have already gained n
well implanted stand, and its preserva-
ton pending the rude days ofmid-win.
ter. Nothing more is to be feared now
but a too wet spring and hail is a local
accident in years, and to places. AS
the last fall and this winter are similar
to those of 1856 and 1861, we may rea-
sonably expect a yield equal to the ex-
ira good crop Of 1857 and 1862"
