The Theatre Francais.

Since the French theatre was closed by the farewell
performances OF Madame Ristori extensive and ex-
pensve alterations have been made in every part Of
the edifce. In fact it may be said that the entire In
terror Of the theatre has been removed to make room
for new noors which, holding their respective seats

line of steamers of the North American steam

creases the distance of transportation the price
is to be correspondingly decreased 1t is esti.
mated that the contract will not cost govern
ment more than $4,000 if the railroad is COM

There is probably no increase of the public

To the Editor Of the Press:
The Tanners of this city and Auburn, with
detachment from Hebron and Turner, parad-
ed our streets last night 1t was the conclud
ing demonstration of the campaign Both
this city and Auburn were brilliantly illumin-
ated, but there was too much moon for the ter
restrial display to produce its best effect.
To night the Germania Band will give a
concert in Central Hall under the auspices of
the Grand Army of the Republic. This will
be followed by other concerts and lectures,
making eight in all for the season. Tickets
enough have already been sold to make this
series of entertainments success notwith-
standing the great cost. The Post of the G.
A. r. in this city is doing an excellent work.
1t is decidedly an energetic organization.
But Very little lumber will be carried over
to next spring by our lumber manufacturers;
not more, probably, than three or four hun
bred thousand think they are selling closer
than ever before. This scarcity of lumber
taken in connection with the small amount of
bricks which will be wintered, must seriously
retard building operations with us in the early
spring OF next year. No lumber "driye" will
be got in before June, but there will be small
lots of logs drawn to the mills from the imme

When Seymour addressed the crowd in New
York on July 4, 1868, he took occasion while
proiessedly addressing the Republican party
to throw this menace in its face:
Are you not exposing yourselves, your own
interests, to as great peril as that with which
you threaten us? Remember this, that the
bloody, and reasonable, and revolutionary doc
trine of public necessity can be proclaimed by a
mob as a0eH as by government.
In less than two weeks the poison took effect
and the most disgraceful riot ever known in
this country broke out in New York city,
against the draft apparently, but ending in
fire, rapine and murder. This is the man and
these are his teachings that honest men are
asked to support within few hours for Presi-
dent. The ghosts of the slaughtered inno-
cents-immolated by his incendiary language,
might well rise from their untimely graves,
and to the minds eye of this inciter of MUIR
der, seem to shake their bloody robes at him as
their murderer!

Where are Then?

On the day succeeding our State election in
September the Argus, smarting under the de-
feat its party sustained, apologized for the
paucity of its vote in this city as follows:
THE VOTES LosT.-The Democratic votes
lost in this city through inability, under the
present arrangements, to get names on the
lists was not less than three hundred
Such story as the above might have its
effect abroad, but here it was only laughed at,
as it was known to be one of those excuses for
which the Democratic press is so noted when
it suffers defeat
Put if anything were wanted to show the
lack of truth in the Argus paragraph, it may
be found in the fact that our Board of Alder
men has been in session two days for the pur-
pose of adding names to the voting lists, and
not fifty new voters have made their appear
ance to have their names inserted.

Overheard acith the JOmUHs,

TO change faLk face to face with the enemy
is bold neutrality-suspicious. in our
political annals decidedly Napoleonic in its
conception-and it might be wonderfully sue
cesstM. Its boldness, not to say audacity
would be no drawback to its success with the
American people.
In word it is suggested by authority emit
tied to consideration that the present Demo-
cratic Presidential candidates be withdrawn
and OTHERS SUBSTITUTED BELIEVED
TO BE MORE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE SYMPATHIES OF THE MASSES
OF THE PEOPLE. The great strength
shown by the Democratic party in the re-
cent elections, has demonstrated what
have been done If aoisdom and sagacity
had prevailed more fully. The question now
before the leaders seems to be, shall we fight it
out on the old line or shall we change base, dis
concert the enemy, arouse the masses, dpd
aclieve victory;-[Argats of Saturday, Oct. 18th.
Will the Argus of to-day and tomorrow ask
the people to vote for candidates not Gin ac-
cordance with their sympathies"?

On the first page we print communication
from gentleman who has something to say in
behalf of the Grand Trunk railroad. He actu-
ally went West over this route and returned
safely, and will no doubt be regarded with the
feeling of mingled awe and respect excited by
those who rode at Balaclava, or by DR.. Living
stone when he returns from Central Africa.
He acknowledges that it was ga little rough"
part of the way, but declares that on the whole
it was rather pleasant ride. He deserves at
least to be heard as the man who has a good
word to say in behalf of the best-abused rail-
road in Amer ica

liberty, the voices of all the martyrs to free

Shall 1t be THi7.tu Thousand?

Shall we carry the State of Maine by 10000?
Shall the Dragging followers of modern De-
moeracy have another lesson in simple addi-
ton? In September, by no sort of figuring
could they make 10000 to read more than 49,
900! They seemed to be worked up on the
matter, but the majority in Maine never rose
above $4,000 on their slate!
Once more this sum is to be put to them.
The majority is to be made 10000 as easy as
moving with machine, if the loyal men do
their duty. If they do not do not see it neces-
sary now, they never will, it seems to us.
Let us then deal one more blow to this mon
ster of INSTRUMENTATION and secession which
has been roaming over this fair land for the
last few months, and we shall not be plagued
with it longer
One round majority of 10000 in Maine will
gladden. the hearts of co-workers all over the
land, and help to swell the grand total!

The Classics. III the ArgatS
Office,

Where is "Mrs Harris?" That dear old lady
has resigned her position in the editorial staff
OF the Argus and her place is now filled by
terrible fellow who scolds like a fshwoman
and quotes Latin like Cantab, thus:
Non tbi, Carolus Quartus, non tibi dabimus
rumptitoozum nostrum.
The office of this adventurous fellow who
carries the classics into the barbaric wilds of
the Argus Office is to apologize for the Louisi-
ana Rebels who have recently been graciously
pleased to take the affairs of that State into
their own hands in defiance OF law and in mo-
mentary forgetfulness OF the little lessons
taught them by Messrs. Butler and Sheridan
Our student of Virgil is pleased with the spirit
of these assassins and gives them his applause
1t matters not to him that the Rebels have con-
spired to carry Louisiana for Seymour and
Blair by fraud and violence.
1t matters not to him that dispatches from
New Orleans tell this story:
The New Orleans papers received here to-
day show that the riot there the other night re-
suited in the killing OF six colored men and the
wounding OF dozens of others, while but one
white man was killed. The colored population
are afraid to venture outside of their houses.
Another dispatch says:
The excitement continues at fever heat.
Many private houses and Grant Club rooms
were sacked last night. Lawless parties are
forcibly disarmng negroes. The Times men
aces Gov. Yarmouth with Punishment.
| A second dispatch gives still more enter
| tanning account:
Correspondence from Louisiana in the pos
session OF the Union Republican COMPRESSION
al Committee, shows that the present troubles
between the whites and blacks in New Orleans
have long been premeditated by the Rebels of
that city. Their object is so to frighten and
| intimidate the negroes on the eve of election
| as to make them afraid to cast their votes on
| election day. 1t is anticipated that the vote
in the State will be very close, and the Rebels,
| not being able to perpetrate fraud by the New
| York and Philadelphia system of naturaiza-
| ton, do the next best thing of numbering Re-
publicans henceforward until election day.
The conclusion of the whole matter is that
the Rebellion has broken out again in Louisi-
ana. The loyal men "dare not show them
| selves in the Streets" The stars and bars
once more supplant the stars and stripes. And
this is the spectacle that excites in the Argus
such mental exaltation that it even goes the
| length of quoting "latin."
All, well, this will soon be over Murder as
branch of industry has had it's day, and after
Tuesday Grants par fiat will begin to take eff
feet. Then pray heaven the Geographic wire
may never again in all our history tell such a
story of outrage, murder and sin against liber-
| ty as it told but Saturday morning.

Great Republican Meeting
in FreeDOrt.

We understand that the Republican meet
ing at Freeport Friday night addressed by
Gen. George f. Shepley of this city was one of
the most successful and enthusiastic of the
campaign. The town house was crowded with
eager listeners to the eloquent words of the
speaker, who was interrupted by constant ap-
pause DIR. Wells presided. The meeting at
rreeport was pleasant episode in the cam
paish' Let Portland do as well to night, when
the same speaker who never fails to interest
his hearers and to utter words of wisdom and
eloquence, will again take the platform.

WHAT SEYMOUR AND BLAIR FLAG REP
REsENTs.-Not hundred miles from Salmon
Falls there is a Seymour and Blair flag
stretched across the street by means of line,
one end of the line being attached to store
and the other end attached to pole ON the
opposite side of the street. Two men going
into a store in close proximity to the
one supporting the flag, inquired of
the proprietor if he had any cider. Re-
ceiving reply in the negative, they then
enquired if he had any rum, receiving a reply
similar to the first, and being informed that it
was against his principles to sell intoxicating
drinks. The men then asked what he had that
flag up for if he did not keep anything to
drink, and on being informed that he did not
support that flag, and that it was attached to
the next store they posted off for the ne1t
store where it is tobe hoped that they got the
