furnish its readers with them, although the Of

State-especially those plantations that have
not been legally organized, bnt from which re-
turns have been framed by one or two of the
leading Democrats in Aroostook county?
The truth is the Argus is afraid to do it.
The leaders OF the party deceived the masses
before the election by assertions and promises
that the Republican majority in the State

Wi,well in the 9Th district And now that
the majority for Gov Chamberlain has rolled
up to over 10000 and Mr.. Lynch has been re-
elected by majority of more than 2200 and
Mr. Hale has defeated Wiswell by thousands,

Mr.. Delmar is in a fair way TO become QUO

Mr.. Delmar estimates the receipts from Gus

first three months If that time, ending on sept

months will he at least $100000OOO instead OF

chairman of the house committee appro-

The document is quite long, and shows by an

riod from Internal Revenue $3.50 900 900;
AMI from miscellaneous sources $45, 100000;
making grand total OF $3.50 100000 n'oi. Sri
The decrease in the expenditures by reduc-
ton of the interest account, abolition of the
Freedmen Bureau, reduction of the army,
the end of Reconst ructiop and other items, is
estimated at $S1, 100000. s.-...-. 4.,....
This deducted from last years expenses,
which were augmented by the payment of the

The Democratic papers speak of the great
soldiers mass meeting in Philadelphia as a
"puppet show" Our Geographic dispatches
show how well the vast assembage deserves
that title. 1t is composed of the same men
who got up the puppet shows at Vicksburg, at
Gettysburg and at Appomattox. Rebel papers
didn't like those demonstrations at all, and
they don't like that at Philadelphia. auj ri
But the Philadelphia convention is avery
significant affair nevertheless. D. 1t indicates
the substantial unanimity Of he men who pu
down the FIRST rebellion on the subject of put
ting down the second. One by one all the
distinguished Union soldiers, with the single
exception of Hancock, have come to the sup
port of their old ehieftain, Grant. The letter
of Gen. Sherman TO the conye ution sets thu
question about his loyalty to the principles fol
which he fought forever at rest. He cooper
ates with Grant as heartily as when he march

reticence to "clailn" him as they did Gen. Dix

THE GREAT POLITICAL REVOLUTION AMONG
IRISH. AMERICANS. We venture to assert that
very few individuals in this Republic ever ex-
pected to witness a revolution so rapid and
extensive as that which is now taking place,
in political sense, among our countrymen in
these United States. Up till lately by-word
for their slavish adherence to slavery loving
and corrupt Democracy, they are now spewing
it out of their mouths with contempt, and
joining the ranks of Republican freedom, not
IN tens or fities, but in thousands, in every
city and district of the Union. Of the power
and Importance of this movement we can ask
no more significant nor conclusive evidence
than the fact that the New York irish People
has. in ITS last issue, openly declared for Grant
and Colfax and the Republican party. We
sink all past differences with pleasure, and
hail new laborer in the field in the cause of
universal as well as of Irish liberty. We orig
mated the noble work. Let it go on and pros
per. Truth will triumph and principle will
prevail For all the toll and obloauy we have
endured we already feel more than half re-
warded.-Irish Republic.
