MAINE-BEFoRE THE ELECrioN.-
We copy, for the benefit Of those of
our readers who are curious to know
everything about the recent election in
Maine, the following from the Mobile
Register of the Odd: 8. :
We have been permitted to make the
following extracts from q letter written
in Maine by, q distinguished gentleman,
formerly q candidate for the Office of
Governor Of that State, and directed to
a relative now residing in this city. The
letter was written some two weeks be-
fore the State election s'iti ~ = 7.
eve do not expect to elect ., Demo
crat for Governor, for Chamberlain is
a very popular man, and the temper
ance and other local questions are en-
teling largely into this gnbernatorial
election. A large number of Demo-
Gratis and prominent members of the
various temperance societies win vote
for Chamberlain for Governor. Think
the State will 60 from twenty to TWEEN
ty-five Thousand tor the Republicans
but, strange as it may sound to you,
after such a victory as this in Septem.
Der, this, State will cast her electoral
vote for Seymour and Blair in Novem.
Der, for upon the question whether
such men as Butler, the spirit of Stevens
Sumner, Logan and the rest of that
nefarious crew, shall again rule the sbiF
of State, heDemocrats of Maine arr
united, and you may assure youl
friends in the South that even in tn,
extreme East they have warm friends
and upon the first Tuesday in Novem
Der next they will show by their vote
that this is white mans government.

Brown, Of the firm Of Brown & Bier,
contractors for building the large Cath
Ole church in this city, that every
brick in this mammoth building con-
tains a quantity Of fine gold. This fine
editice probably contains more brick
than any block in the city. For along
time the workmen and bricklayerf
have noticed small specks in the bricks
resembling gold,. but which, of course
they little thought was in reality the
precious metal. Yesterday Mr.. Hemp.
Ter, the architect, having pulyerized
several of the bricks, ascertained hey.

that they really contained gold. Tho

Battle Of The Giants.
PINCHBAcK AND CAMPBELL.

Pinchback is becoming Disguised with
Tuesday he spoke out in the meeting
against Campbell, of Iowa, and other
carpet baggers, who came to. Louisiana to
breed feuds and contentious between diff
erent classes of citizens, in order that they
might get all the offices he denounced
carpet-baggers for violating their pledges,
and affirmed that the colored people, if
left to themselves, would vote for the re-
moval of all acknowledgements and for
universalsc suffrage. For :shirnself he re-
nounced all party ties, and would vote for
and with those who honestly recognized
the equal rights of his race and people.
So profound was Campbelrs disgust at the
reasonable utterances of Pinchback that
| he left his seat in the Senate and retired
| from the hall. ~
Pinchback is not the only colored Radi.
| cal who has manifested his contempt and
! repugnance for the carpet-baggers. These
feelings are becoming general. After
using the colored people to get all the fat
officers, jobs and special laws, the sharp
carpet-baggors would now leave their fol
| lowers out in the cold, and in order to hold
them in subsection oppose most violently
any extension of suffrage to the white
population of the State. We desire the
| honest opinion; of any respectable Radical
at the North on the decency, modesty and
manliness, of the gentleman from Musca
tine, who after foisting himself into his
place in the Senate by the grossest disre
gard of all law, has the audacity to de
nounce the people of this State and city
among whom he has come as an entire
stranger, as rebels wo ought all to be dis
franchised, and is reproved therefor by 6
colored man of his own party who was
born and raised in this city.
Such unparalleled insolence and audaci
ty are quietly borne with by our people
aud yet we are charged with n tendenc,
to violence, disorder, and turbulent hos
tility to freedom of speech and opin
ion.-[N. o. Times.

More About The Riot

1t seems that the negroes who engaged
in the riot on Canal street, after breaking
Dumonteil's windows and doors, proceeded
down Rampant, firing off pistols and boot
ing and yelling fearfully. They broke into
the soda and cake store Of Mr.. Jno. Bris-
olara, on the corner of St. Peter and Ram
part Streets, and literally smashed the con-
tents. The show cases contained cham
payne and cordials, which were made away
with. MIR. Brisolara was standing on his
gallery with Lis family at the time, and
says he saw the negroes pour coal oil upon
his wooden steps, and endeavor TO set fire
to the premises. Some endeavored to dis
suade the incendiaries from their work
while others urged them on. A colored
officer Of one Of the clubs came up in time
to save the house from being burned.

After the riot last night, . company
of Radical negroes, dressed, our infor-
mant stated, in Zouave uniform, ran
down Bayou Road, and came to q halt
near the intersection of Bayou Road
and Esplanade streets. just then, a
cab containing white man who had
been wounded in the melee on Canal
street, came by. The negroes seeing
the white man in the cab, rushed for
it crying out "Kill him - "kill him ~
A white man, who was with the me-
gr0es and seemed to have some infln-
ence with them, finding that the man
was wounded, begged them to desist,
as the man would die soon anyhow
The cab drove on, and the negroes re-
NAMED, making use of the most threat
ening and violent language. They de-
clared that they had had q slight scrim-
mage on Canal street last evening, but
were not well prepared. Next time
they would be armed with pistols and
torches and would use both. This
threat, taken in connection with the
fact that an attempt was actually made
to fire the store and residence of gen..
tleman on the corner of st. Peter and
Rampant streets, together with Pinch
backs threat in the Senate, certainly
demands the attention of the authors
