TIE NEWS FROM MAINE.

The returns from Maine are glorious
It was expected to go Republican, Of
course, but it was not expected we
would gain ten thousand votes. Tho
majority is estimated at from 10000 to
$1,000. Last year our majority was
something over 1000. This Is cheer
ing to the cause, and there was general
rejoicing throughout the country. AT
the principal cities there were great Re
publican jubilees over this result. This
news will give confidence to the Re-
publicans, and we now think we shall
carry every Northern State except New
Jersey. The triumph will be greater
than it was four years ago. j. G. Blaine,
Chairman of the Maine Republican State
Committee, telegraphs the following
from Augusta. 1--WE have carried every
Congressional District, even where the
vote is the lowest, by over $500 major
ity. We have carried every county, re-
gaining the three that were carried by
the Democrats last year. We have
elected every Senator and seven-eighths
Of the House of Representatives, and
have rolled up a popular mallory for
Gov. Chamberlin of 10000"

THE DANGERS THAT THREATEN
THE REPUBLIC.

On Thursday evening, Prof. Norton,
of the State Normal School, delivered a
lecture upon ''The Dangers that Threat
en- the Republic" 1t is difficult to say
briefly that which ought to be said of
this effort. Passing in rapid review
the history of the country, the speaker
enumerated the principles upon which
it is based and by which it has develop
ed into colossal proportions; and ar
guing of the future from the past and
present he showed that the sun of the
year 1900 will shine upon this mighty
nation bounded on the North by the
Arctic Circle, on the East by the Allan
tic, on the South by the Isthmus of Da-
rien, and on the West by the Pacific.

and fifty millions of immortal beings.
gathered from the four winds of heav-
en- and destined to make our giant en-
pire the abode of liberty and the en-
bOdiment of virtue, intelligence and
purity, or to hurl it into blacklist ruin.
He then compared this governmental
experiment with those of Greece and
Rome, and pointed to the reasons why
the causes (which combined to over
throw the latter do not exist in the for
mer. Then in eloquent, mastery Ian
guage, he considered the elements of
evil which are instilling their deadly
poison into the heart of our society and
threatening more terrible destruction
than that of the medieval ages: Among
these were especially noted:
]. Disregard for sacred things !;
drunkenness; RIGHTEOUSNESS skepti-
cism.
Ii. Physical degeneration. Under
this head the Professor dwelt at length
upon the laws of health, the Injurious
habits of diet, and the vicious indulg-
ences which are sapping the foundation
of life in thousands of men and women.
III. Political corruption. Bribery
slavery to party; immortality in high
places these must cease or the glory
of our approaching day viii be chang
ed to the blackness of darkness. The
bands of prejudice, riveted by the false
ideas and crimes of the past must be
broken; the Republic must be regen-
Grated and purified; it must be made
to rest upon the broad and only just
basis of Impartial Sufferge, irrespective
of color or sex.
The entire production was logical
profound, powerful and earnest to an
extent seldom equaled. No intelligent
person could have failed to be convinc.
ed that every sentence was the express
ion of deep feeling, and that the
whole was the creation of noble, un.

LYON COUNTY FAIR POSTPONED.

Owing to the late continued wet
weather, and consequent high water, 1t
has become absolutely necessary to
postpone holding the Lyon County
Fair. It is therefore, by order of the
Boardof Directors, postponed until Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, October
9th, 9th, and It'll. 1t is hoped by that
time the weather will have become set
tied and favorable, and that tho friends
throughout this and adjoining Counties
will be more fully prepared to attend
and present for exhibition the stock,
grain, farming implements, ETC., with
which the country abounds. If the
stock alone, of which Lyon and adjoin-
Ing counties has good cause to boast, is
present at the Fair, it will be one of the
most interesting and profitable exhibi-
tions ever held in Kansas.
Let everybody then prepare to attend
and exhibit the best of whatever he has
go that after the Fair no one will have
it to say, as has been the case heretofore
eff had known before what 1 know
now, 1 could have taken premium as
well as not" Bring. whatever you have
and let your neighbors see it. You will
have the advantage OF what they exbibi
and thus the benefit, will be mutual.

CONSOLATION GoNE.-For a number
of weeks the Democrats have been con-
sOling themselves with the thought that
there would be great Fraction" in the
Northern States. They fail to see the
Fraction" so far, and their consolation
is gone. They grasped atthe hope of
this reaction like drowning man at a
straw. But now they must go under.
Their leading paper in New York,
the World, admits that the election of
1868 will be repetition of that of 1864.
This is not good year for reaction so
far.

GREAT EARTHQUAKE IN SOUTH
AMERICA.

New YORK, Sept. 13.-Lettcrs from
Lima, Peru, give additional details of
the earthquake and its effects. The
earthquake commenced at half past five
o'clock OH the 18th of August, extend
ing from Bolivia to the southern parts
of Chilli, on the coast, and over 100
miles inland. The towns and cities
mentioned in the dispatches of Satur-
day night were literally ruined, as all
buildings which were not destroyed
were so badly damaged as to require
destruction for prudential reasons. ALL
public edifices in africa were destroy
ed, including the Custom House, which
contained more than four million dol
lars worth of goods, all of which were
lost. The crew of the Fredonia num-
bered 81, all of whom were lost, as was
also Mrs. Dyer, wife of the Lieutenant
commanding. The scene beggars de-
scription; railroad rails, cars, machine
ry, gun carriages, household furniture,
barrels, dead animals and mutilated
corpses are lying about in confusion.
The city numbered 10000 Inhabitants,
and its multitudes stand hopeIessly
beggared on the beach. Three hundred
lives were lost. A conflagration burn
ed nearly all that was not demolished
by the earthquake, and drunken rab-
bic robbed and despoiled what re-
manned.
At Lima there was not much damage
done, although the shocks lasted about
four minutes, creating the utmost con-
sternation. Admiral Turner, with the
frigate Powhattan, left Lima with a full
cargo of provisions, and had arrived at
africa to succor the Americans and 9TH
er inhabitants. Over million of dol
lars has been raised. The business hous-
es of Lima having connections on the
coast suffered immensely. One house,
that of Gibbs s. Son, lost over million
of dollars. Nearly all the towns and
villages in the province of Humita are
destroyed and reduced to shapeless mas
ses. At Iquaquc the shock lasted over
four minutes, after which wave came
and destroyed about three quarters of
the place. Nearly all the provisions and
condensing machinery which supplied
the inhabitants with drinking water
were destroyed. Provisions and water
have been sent them from Valparaiso.
One German house at Iquaque lost over
S400,O0 worth of property. Over 600
people were destroyed at Ariquipa.
The shocks continued at intervals, near
| ly one hundred having occurred in three
days. The city is one mass of ruins.
The river has changed to three coIors
| showing volcanic erruptions and Mount
Nusti was actively throwing ont lava,
smoke and quantities of mud. The riv-
er emits sulphurous odoF and rocks
and earth are constantly falling from
the Mountain crater. At Pancaripata
hundreds of lives were lost by being
crushed to death by the falling of hous-
es when the earthquake occurred.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
TOPEKA. Sept, IL. 1868.

ScpI. Ii, 1COO. y
The recent acts of atrocity perpetrat-
ed by hostile Indians upon citizens Of
Kansas, with other accommodating cir
cumstances, indicate with an unerring
certainty that general Indian war Is
inevitable. The United States forces
in this Department are too few in num-
Der to answer the emergency, and the
appeals of our frontier settlers for pro-
lection and redress cannot with honor
be disregarded.
The undersigned, therefore, hereby
calls into active service, for period OF
three months, unless sooner discharged.
five Companies of Cavalry, to be or
Oanized from the Militia of the State,
for service on the border. Each man
will be required to furnish his own
horse; but arms, accoutrements and
rations will be furnished by Major
General Sheridan.
One company to be recruited in the
Republican Valley, will rendezvous al
Lake Sibley; one company in the Solo
mon Valley, will rendezvous at Ayers
burg; one company will rendezvous at
Salina, one company at Topeka, and
tho remaining company at Marion
Center.
Recruiting officers will be designated
for each company, and when notice OF
the organization of a company shall
have been received, the men will be
mustered and company officers appoint
ed. Each company will consist of not
less than eighty (80) nor more than one
hundred 900 enlisted men.
AS the State has no funds at present
from which the men hereby called into
service can be paid, it is expressly I'M
derstood that all claims for service
must await the action of the next Leg
islature.

Hon. Schuyler Colfax, Speaker of the
House of Representatives, the "to-be"
Vice President of the United States,
and former ardent and earnest advo-
cate of "the red man." has undergone
a change of feeling. In a public speech
at Omaha he referred to the deplorable
condition of Indian affairs in Colorado
and Wyoming, and said he would urge
upon Congress immediate and decisive
action against the savages; he believed
that nothing less than severe punish
ment would bring them to terms.

When the Republican party came in
to power in 1861 they found rebellion
on their hands which the Democratic
party had been thirty years threatening
and organizing. To save the Govern
ment against the attacks of these vile
men cost quarter of q million of lives
and S3,O00,000,000. With this blood

1t commenced when Mr.. Carney's name

All who have been West during the
past few months arrive at the conclu-
sion that a general Indian war is newt
able. This is the conclusion of Gener-
ais Grant and Sherman, Schuyler Col
fax and Governor Crawford. The U.
s. Government can have the consola-
ton of knowing that it has placed arms
and ammunition in tho hands of the
Indians to murder the citizens which il
is bound to protect. We publish below
