From the ". y N0ltO1l-

From the ". Y. Nation
Two months ago the Democrats were going
to carry Maine. One month ago they were
going to reduce last years Republican ma
jority of eleven or twelve thousand. But this
week, the expression of public opinion at the
polls being the very fullest ever had in the
State, the Republicans carry it by majority
almost equal to the heaviest majorities that
were given when we were all full of the ex-
element of the war. Probably there never
was anywhere in the country so hot political
canvass. How high the feeling ran may be
seen in the fact that political rioting-a very
rare thing in New England-was not uncom-
mon in the last days before election, and on
election day, when, to be sure, the Democrats
had some excuse in their disappointment.
Probably there are not five hundred
able-bodied men in Maine who have
not attended several political meet
ings since the middle of August
speeches have been made wherever hundred
men could be got together, and some of it has
been extraordinarily good speaking; there
was no end to the prpcessionizing, button
holiDg, and "work" generally. AS the Boston
Post remarked, the men of Maine shave lately
heard the great political and financial issues
Of the day discussed by able men of both par
ties" Fessenden, Wilson, and Pendleton
put the financial issues as plainly before the
people as it is possible to put them, and the
political issue-that stated by Blair-was the
theme of dozens of orators in every town.
The result shows, to borrow from
the Post again, that the people of
Maine ''are not blinded by prejudice
or enslaved by party ties" and have had no
difficulty in deciding what is their present
duty to themselves and the country at large"
1t was model American political contest
plenty of frank discussion and intelligent COM
prehension of the questions involved, at least
a suffciency of enthusiasm, and, at the end a
pesceable submission to the result. The effect
of this election will be great. We suppose it
makes Pennsylvania safe for the Republicans
in October; and though the loss of that State
would make the November election a mere
fOlmslty.

The various departments have got in
all their estimates for expenditures for
the next fiscal year. and they foot up
three hundred millions Of dollars. The
amount is in excess Of the estimated
revenue, and will necessitate increased

Appropriations indicate that they will

The Western tobacco interest Is making
an earnest effort for the repeal OF sec
tons seveuty-eight and ninety.four of the
Internal Revenue act, approved July ~,
1868. Memorials from the Ninth Ken
lucky, Eighth Indiana, and First Illinois
Districts, and from Peoria, Ottawa, Rock
ford, Medota, Elgin, Joliet, Galesburg,
Kankskee, and Morris, illinois, and from
Michigan City, praying for the repeal OF
these sections, we're presented to. day 10
the House. The memorial from the Chi
caqo district contained three thousand
names. The Ways and Means Commit
tee briefly considered the question to-day.
The memorials claim that the time named
in those sections is altogether too short in
which to dispose of their stock OF to-
bacco on hand, and ask that it be exempt
from the operations of the new law. The
committee will probably extend the time.
Ben. Butler has presented the memo
rial of Blanton Duncan, of Kentucky,

The Committee on Roads and Cansls
have commenced to examine skilled
engineers, under oath, in relation to the
erection of bridges across the Ohio
river, so that they may be able to decide
on the width of span to be fixed in the
pending bill.
To tho surprise Of many, the high
tariff men carried their point to-day, and
succeeded in getting the House to pro-
coed with the consideration of the bill
pending at the July adjournment, to
increase the rates Of custom duties from
SO to so per cent. The Eastern and
Northern Republicans and many of the
Southern members united in taking up
the bill, and we're Joined by some
Western Republicans who voted
against the increase in July. The
Pennsylvania iron interest is engineering
the bill, Moorhead, of the Pittsburg dis
trict, having charge Of it, while the iron
manufacturers of that State are hurry
ing their memorial forward to influence
legislation. As matters now look, the
Southern members hold the balance Of
power, and are incliued to go for an in
