A Fire-Eater.

To the Editor of the Press: n.. p. -,ia
In the summer of 1867 / met in England
young man from Charleston, s. c., who be-
longs to family Of wealth and good social po-
sition and is a fair representation of very
large class of southern young men, Such was
his hatred of the government at Washington
that he would not take passport, because he
said he would not recognize the government
so long as he could avoid it. When he APP
preached a country he could not enter without
the broad seal of the U. S., then be would ask
for it. He repeatedly said that the South
would try it again next year if there was the
least prospect of success And said he,
'when the Democratic party get into power
look out; we will give it to you Yankees then"
1t is just that sentiment and fixed purpose
OF these southern bot-bloods that Wade
Hampton and other leading men in the South
have expressed since the nomination of Blair;
a sentiment and purpose which northern
Democrats say are confined to the compare
lively few persons who declare them Blair
was nominated for the purpose of revolution
aud we see in the recent action of the Georgia
legislature what would take place if Seymour
were to be elected. There would be genera
persecution of Union people in the South and
they would be silenced or exterminated The
spirit that made Andersonville possible and
Libby prison fact is as rampant now as when
the rebellion was in full blast and the chivalry
were numbering our sons and brothers. The
only way to cast out this spirit of rebellion
and hate, and to bring an enduring peace and
a permanent prosperity, is to elect Grant and
Colfax; and how any fair-minded man, no
matter to what party he may belong, can vote
for Blair and revolution, is thing I cannot
understand. With Grant we will have peace;
with Blair war. j. s. OF MAINE

VictOrYf

The result of yesterdays work, al sno" :" Ny
the returns in another column, may perhaps
surnr;se some of our friends in other States
who sp,nosad that there was possibility that
the neonl. of Maine were on the point of sur
rendering the hero of Little Round Top to the
hero of Kingfeld. The election was contested
more stubbornly than any previously held in
this State. The Democrats brought out every
man, and the Republicans were not far behind
them in fidelity to better cause The whole
vote is at least six and perhaps ten thousand
larger than that of 1850, (the largest hitherto
thrown) and will certainly reach $780, 600. Re-
turns from 203 towns give Chamberlain 49,1S9,
and Pillsbury 35 49S votes. The same towns
last year gave Chamberlain 81 1913, and Pills
bury 2S,031. The rate of increase OF the Re-
publican vote on that of last year IS thirty
three per cent, and that of the Democratic
vote twerty-one per cent. The same rate OF
increase in the towns to be heard from will
give twenty thousand majority. This majority
after a contest of such violence, with the
largest total vote ever thrown, certainly en-
titles us to exut exceedingly.
In the LIST Congressional District Mr.. Lynch's
majority viii probably be about $500. Returns
from ali of Cumberland County except Seba-
go a d thirteen towns III York show vote OF
14,1z8 ,or Chamberlain and II 1884 for Pillsbury.
THIS probably does not differ much from the
vote for Lynch and Shaw. Ar
In the other Congressional Districts the Re-
publican nominees are certainly elected.
There have been handsome Republican gains
in every County in the State. York has been
radoamad arnd oiv ly in
coin, judging from such returns as we have re-
ceived, is also again on the Republican side.
Knox is the only County that remains Demo
cratic, and the two Senators from there will be
the only Democratic members of that body.
The returns do not show very fully what
change there will be in the House of Repre-
sentatives, but it is enough to know that the
Democratic minority will be reduced. The
Republicans gain one Representative in this
County from the Scarboro district
Estimates made at later hour than our own
give even more favorable results, the returns
from 100 towns indicating an increase of thir-
ty-four per cent. on the Republican vote OF
last year, Democratic gain of nineteen per
cent. on their vote, and net Republican gain
of about 1000, or over $1,000 majority in the
State. The same estimate gives Lynch 31O0
majority; Morrill, 500; Blaine $500; Peters
400; Hale $500.
The amount of hard work that has been done
in this campaign is almost inconceivable, but
to all who have labored on TIE side of truth
and right, the result brings ample compensa-
ton GLORY enough for one dayr' The enc
my Is now PROSTATE, and will not show fight
again this year. Copperheadism in all the
States has received a staggering blow which
will do infinite harm to the cause of Seymour,

Seymour's Cewardicc,

General Paine, member Of Congress from
the First, or Milwaukee. Wisconsin District,
brings to light the following bit Of history:
When the news Of she fall of Sumter was
received in this city, Governor Seymour was
stopping At the Newhall House. The city, on
the receipt OF that news, WAS abaze with in
diignation, and Democrats and Republicans
ankle burned to avenge the insult that had beon
offered to our flag. A meeting of business
men, irrespective Of party, was held at the
Chamber OF Commerce, and stirring addresses
were made. Every voice was for war.
Some one mentioned the fact that Gov. Sey-
mour was in town, and it was at once resolved
to have speech from him. One of our most
highly respected citizens-a personal acquain-
lance of Seymours-hastened to inform him
of the intended call. He was found in the n
dies parlor of the hotel, received the Milwsu-
kee gentlemen most cordially, and represented
himself in the best of health. But when in
formed that the crowd would presently call
upon him for speech, he promptly replied
that he should not respond But you must

"A Fizzle and no Mistake"
Hearing the Returns.

9 Radicalism was too much for Democracy last
evening sure The gentlemen composing the
late organization known as the Democratic
party, commenced packing their carpet bags
early in the afternoon of yesterday, and by
shutdown they had all departed for some dis
tant cline, at least none of them were to be
seen. The most earnest inquiries of anxious
friends could not ascertain the whereabouts OF
any of these sorrowful individuals. At the
first dispatches they disappeared, just as JEFF
Davis crept out of Richmond when he receiv-
ed the telegram from Gen. Lee.
City Hall was crowded full at an early hour
with enthusiastic Republicans, whose very
faces seemed to glow with the joy they felt over
the great victory for equal rights achieved by
the loyal people of Maine. 1t was inspiring to
hear the shouts which went up from their pat
riotic lungs.
M. L. Stevens, Esq. was made chairman of
the meeting, and the applause which greeted
the announcement of the glorious Republican
gains, as the vote of town after town was de-
clared, was perfectly deafening. Could the
Radicals of Bangor, Augusta, Bath and Bruins
wick have heard the Union cheers given them
By their brethren of Portland they would have
deemed them sufficient compensation for
their glorious work of yesterday.
In the intermission between the reading of
dis atohes, eloquent and soul-stirring speeches
were made by Nathan Webb, Esq, Rev N. M
Gaylord of Boston, Lieut.. Gov. Woodford of
New York, Hon. G. w. Woodman and Hon.
Israel Washburn. Mr.. Gaylord and Governor
Woodford have both done good service during
this campaign, aud now that the loyal Repub-
licans of Maine have got the enemy on the
run, we hope these gentlemen will go to their
respective States. and push this rerreating en-
envy into the last ditch. Mr.. E. w. Locke
reused the enthusiasm of the crowd I'D to
fever pitch by several Of his stirring songs, one
of which, entitled "Getting tine News" was
written expressly for the occasion
A contribution of $81 was made in behalf of
Mr.. William Burnham, who was severely in
jured Saturday evening while making arrange.
ments for display of fireworks at the City
Hall. The people responded promptly to the
request of Mr.. Webb, that they "send along
ten cents" to this worthy gentleman.
The crowd dispersed at late hour, all in
good humor and spirits, and all rejoicing with
each other over the glorious encouragement
which Maine sends to her sister States.

Mrs. EATON AGAIN.-A curious history is
unfolded by the arrest of the husband of Mrs
Gen. Eaton, in New York. She, it will be re-
membered, is the woman concerning whom
there was great excitement during Gen. Jack
sons Presidency, Gen. Eaton being Secretary
of War. Some of the Cabinet members refus-
ed to recognize her in society," but their HOSTILE
ty was afterwards abandoned, and Mrs. E. was
pronounced one of the bellies of Washington
After the death of her husband, she made the
acquaintance of handsome Italian dancing
master, about twenty-one years of age, PANIED
Antonio Buchignani, of whom she became en-
amored, and he, lean ming that she was wealthy,
made love to, and married her. This ill-assort-
ed marriage (she being sixty-fve) shut the
doors of fashionable society against her for
time, but in year the matter was overlooked,
and the lady was again received in society.
She procured the appointment of librarian to
Congress for her husband, which Office he fill
ed for two years. During this period he sue
ceeded in gaining the entire confidence of his
wife, and her fortune of $4,000 was placed at
his disposal. Everything went merry as a
marriage bell, when the unfortunate woman
master had absconded with her money and
her granddaughter to Italy, where they spent
two years together as man and wife, making
the tour of the Continent. The other day she
learned of his arrival in New York and at
once procured warrant against him for ADAM
donment. He admitted the charge, but alleg-
ed that he had no money. The justice requir-
ed him to allow his wife SO per week, which
he finally agreed to do, and was discharged
from custody. Since he has been living with
the granddaughter he has had two children by
heroine of them is still living. Mrs. e. is an
intelligent and well appearing woman, about
Is years old, and says, with all her husbands
faults, she still loves him dearly; that she did
not care for her money-he was welcome to
that-but she was greatly injured by bis dis
turbing the peace of the family by living Grim
inally with one of its members.

WARNING TO SOLDIERS AND SAILoRs-Ldnd
Frduds.-Agents are travelling through the
country representing to soldiers and sailors
that for the sum of $25 or $50 they can obtain
a clear title from the government, without ac-
tual settlement, for eighty to one hundred and
sixty acres of land, under the Amendatory
Homestead act of March q, 1854 They in
struct the soldiers and sailors to fill up the
blanks sent to them, swear to them before their
commanding officers, and return them with
the required fee, and that in from thirty to
sixty days they will send them a good title
to the land from the Government. The num-
Der of soldiers and sailors who al e deceived by
these false statements is very large, and notice
has been sent by Commissioner Wilson in ev-
cry case to which his attention has been called
that titles cannot be given in such cases with
out proof of actual settlement The following
infoI nation in regard to the act in question
will prevent the soldiers and sailors from be-
ing imposed upon:
