The Ecstcrn Argus, q Democrat
ic paper of Portland, Maine, comes
to us jubilant over the result in the
State election. It takes the view
We have already presented to our
readers, and we are glad to find it
confirmed by observers on tho spot.
The Argus says
Radical rejoicing over such figures
as these are suggestive of the JOY
Of the man who expected to be hung
but had his sentence committed to
Imprisonment for life. y x
If the conservative men Of other
States can do as we'll as have those
of Maine, compared with the vote
Of 1866, the last test vote, Seymour
and Blair will be elected beyond i
peradventure x y Every:
body knows that the election last
year was fought on local issues, and
that but a small vote was cast in
comparison with previous years.
The Democratic gain from 1865
will be, say 0. 500 in total vote Of
III, 5S4, or about S 1-2 per cent.
Add this per cent. of gain to the
conservative vote OF Connecticut in
1866, and we have a conservative
majority Of 5.453. Apply the same
rule to New Hampshire on tho vote
Of 1866, and we have a conservative
majority Of 593 /; to Now York. and
we have a conservative majority of
1920 /; to Pennsylvania. and We
have a conservative majority of 20
3O1 to the vote Of Ohio in 1867

point. In justice to this city, it
ought to be stated that the Produce
Exchange of Dubuque, in connect
ion with the leading business men
of the city, as early as March, 1867,
took the initiative in this enterprise
by appointing q cnmmittce, Of hich
the writer was q member, to draft
a form Of articles Of incorporation
for bridge company; that circulars
were sent into the country inviting
the cooperation Ct all the towns On
the railroad west Of Dubuque and
a bridge convention was held April
3rd, 1867 under the auspices of the
Produce Exchange, and articles
were subsequently, reformed and the
company organized. Mr.. Allison
was absent at the time the move
ment commenced, but he returned
and lent his aid. Three hundred
thousand dollars and more, Of the
stock was taken, and is now held
by the citizens Of Dubuque. Mr..
Allison has one Hundred thousand
of it himself ; [not many members
Of congress are able to hold so
much y about two hundred thous-
and dollars of the stock is held by
Iowa men outside Of Dubuque.
The company, upon it's organiz-
alton, made Mr.. Allison a direc tor,
and sent him to New York to ne
gotiate for it !; which service he per-
Termed and charged and received
the moderate fee of two Thousand
dollars from the company. If for
this disinterested service he is to be
commended over all others, why,
let it be so but it is nevertheless
true that there are Dubuque men of
much humber preten.ions, who are
entitled to as much credit as Mr..
Allison, and who have not received
and never expect to receive one cent
for their services. Mr.. Allison has
the talismanic touch that converts
to gold, in his own pocket, whatev-
er he is connected with as a public
man The history of his official
life shows, that though he has pros
pered pecuniarily himself, his con.
stituents arc none the better off for
his connection with public affairs,
and their interests would be much
safer and better cared for in other
hands.

We are constantly in receipt Of
letters from soldiers who served In
the volunteer force during the war
making inquiries in reference to tho
law passed by Congress admitting
aliens who had enlisted to citizen
ship. In 1862 Congress passed a
law on this point. and declared any
alien Of the age of twenty-one years,
who has or shall enlist in the armies
of the United States, may receive
his papers and be admitted to citi.
zenship without being required to
previously declare his intentions.
For the benefit of those seeking in
formation on this point, we publish
the law as follows:
Any alien of the age of twenty
one years and upwards, who has enlisted
or shall enlist in the armies of the United
States, either the regular or volunteer
forces, and has been, or shall be hereafter,
honorably discharged, may be admitted to
become u citizen OF the United States upon
his petition, without any previons deelara-
ton Of his intention to become a citizen of
the United States, and he shall not be re-
quired to prove more than one years resi-
dence within the United States previous
to his application to become such citizen
and the Court admitting such alien shall,
in addition to such proof of residence and
good moral character, as is now provided
by law, be satisfied by competent proof. OF
snch person having been honorably dis
charged from the service Of the United
States aforesaid.
It will be seen that this law does
away with the declarations of inten-
tions, and entities him to his nat
uralization papers upon applying to
the Conrt, proving his enlistment Or
honorable discharge from the army
and ono years residence in tho
country. Y. World.

The Government, like a spend
thrift, is spending more than it
gets and if the debt is to be paid,
substantial reforms must begin
somewhere, and speedily. In the
first place, with no injury to the
public service, the Standing Army
can be reduced onc-half or two
thirds. 1t is now supported at an
enormous expense. The Frcedmen's
Bureau, for which Gen. Howard
asked over 81, 900. .000in one year,
and for which Congress appropriate
cd oyer se, 600, 600 in 1866, and
the next year nearly s4: 600, 900
not counting what was expended
upon it Indirectly and through the
Army-must be abolished. q
Coneressio pay should be re-
duccd at least to. $500 per annum,
which is 1000 more than the pay
was when the radical party came
into power-which radical party in
creased their pay 5000, 600 year.
The enormous expenses for Con-
gressional printing and stationery
including in the list Buffalo combs,
brushes, gloves, erasers, scissors
and knives by the gross-should be
reduced. The waste in Congress
would support two or three we'll
regulated States. If Congress had
really desired reform, tc less en- tax
alton or to improve the credit Of
the Government, it could easily
have been done.-N: Y. Express.
