wood was thrown aside as too hard for the

of the West Indian wood and out of that the

geston of the following paragraph and all &c
for Grant and Celfax: .ge.et I-H
In 1850 the Republicans assembled in large
numbers at their headquarters, on Broadway
to receive the election intelligence Glowing
returns came in, one upon another, from every
quarter, which rent the air with cheers, and
reused the gathering to the highest pitch Of
enthusiasm. At length there came this dis
patch: est. Lawrence County, seven thou
sand majority for Lincoln" This was toe
much for one individual, if possible more ex.
hilarated than his companions He mounted
the rostrum, waved his hat in thr air, and
moved that they make the whole id thing

mendous cheering a.s ~. -.r

jFrhe pstaiari,y Of tiSani as a Candidate.
Ever the most ffcurable Democrat will soon
J5eeIp to disrfust his newspapers when they re-
iterate the hackneyed assertion that Grant is
not popular candidate and that his name ex-
cites no enthusiasm The fall elections are &C.
know lodged to be in great degree influenced
by an anticipation of the grand November
struggle that winds up the campaign, and by
the estimation in which the candidates of the
two parties are held.
Since the nomination of Grant at Chicago,
elections of a more or less general character
have been held in Vermont, Idaho, Colorado,
New Mexico, Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana and Nebraska, and municipal elections
in Connecticut, Delaware and New Jersey
Vermont increased her Republican majority
of 20165 in 1867 to 27 .32o, showing net Re-
publican gain of 7,164.
be- Maine increased her Republican majority of
1867 by nearly nine thousand on the fullest
vote ever thrown in the State.
Pennsylvania, which in 1867 gave an adverse
majority of 922, under the inspiration of the
name of Grant now gives Republican major
ity of many thousands. Ohio, which last year
elected Democratic legislature, is not only
redeemed but rolls up a Republican majority
worthy of the people that trod Valandieham
under foot in 1863 Indiana, though invaded
in her Southern counties by Rebel army, gall
lantly holds her own, and Nebraska gives two
thousand Republican majority now while she
gave only 145 in 1866.
| Colorado and all the territories mentioned,
| with the single exception of Idaho show SINH
| lar results.
In Connecticut the change is remarkable.
Only last spring the Copperheads carried the
State and elected English for Governor AT
the recent municipal elections the Republican
candidates received an aggregate majority of
| nearly 1900! So Connecticut pronounced for
| Grant.
| The city of Wilmington, Delaware has also
recently held an election for local officers and
that, too, was carried by the Republicans by SC
large majority that our friends there not
altogether hopeless of redeeming the State
| The charter election on Tuesday at Newark
N j., which was regarded as a test vote by
both parties, indicates that New jersey too
will pronounce for Grant in November
So from one end of the Union to the other the
soldier who is attended by the Angel of Peace
is received with glad acclamations Of rejoicing.
| If he is not q popular candidate what shall We
say of Seymour?

So great has been the energy, so indomtable
the courage OF its people hat stranger could
hardly believe the fact when to-day, he wit
nesses the stately and capacious blocks and
the magnificent hotels and residences of the
natural seaport" of Maine. If possible, the
disastrous fire has quickened thf energies of
Portland. The terrible heat of its burning
blocks has added heat to the daring enterpris-
es of the leading citizens of Portland. After
the terrible calamity of 1866, we now Fl nd them
putting forth every energy to secure the grand
est of railroad enterprises-the Ogdensburg.
Would they have dared to attempt it before
July 4th, 1866?
If Portland does once in a while, to the
minds of those OF us who live in the rural dis
tricts, assume to be the State of Maine we can
afford to let it do so, for its wealth and above
ALL its enterprise makes it the pride of every
citizen of Maine. We can't we'll be Jealous,
nor can Portland, with any show of dignity,
contend for the State House. Somerset Re-

The Republican and democratic stables each
had two in, and it was understood that one
stable companion should help the other. The
betting was even when the macs came on the
course, although there were some doubts about
the democratic colt Blair, who was said to be
a boiler. After one or two false starts the DEM
ocratc colts got off with the lead, but the dem
ocratic colt Blair soon came in collision with
his stable companion, Seymour, and cut him
severely in the hoof, discovering the fact that
it was slightly cloven, and he seemed at this to
go a little lame and fell several lengths to the
rear; but the Republican colt, Grant, was pull
led double, while the democratic colts, running
now pretty nearly together, closed up the gap.
But at the Maine turn the son of Jesse made
a brush, closely followed by his stable compan-
ion, Colfax, and opened gap of about twenty
lengths between himself and the horses of the
democratic stable. Ulysses was soon pulled
hard again and Horatio began to close the gap,
but it was evident from his distress that he was
poor weight-carrier, while the Republican
nag took up his weight-whch was heavy,
too-very easily, and seemed certain of the re-
suit Five to one was now freely offered and
not taken.
At the Pennsylvania turn Horotio made
rush for Ulysses, but the cut on his hOof by his
stable companion, which had always been con-
sidered suspicious, now began to tell and he
showed signs of lameness. At the Ohio turn
Ulysses let out link, and catching a sight OF
a rebel flag on the grand stand he increased
his stride still more, while the audience shut
their glasses and declared the race over, for
Ulysses was now running easy and increasing
his lead at every stride, while Horatio, his
chances being over, was being pulled up. 1t
was evident, too, that the Republican colt
being long strider, would do better in the
straight work of the home stretch, while the
democratic colt had been beaten in what was
considered favorable ground for him namely,
the tortuous part of the track.-[N. Y. Post

A MIGHTY PRoJECT-The idea of connect
ing the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by a ship
canal seems at the outset to be almost as CHI
over. the Atlantic. Yet this subject which was,
discussed as long ago as the middle of the six
tenth century, is revived again. The propo-
sition is to extend the canal from Panama to
some point on the bay of Aspinwall. a.distance
of about 45 miles. The greatest elevation in
this distance is $50 feet above tide water The
estimated cost of construction is fifty or eighty
millions of dollars. Why may this not be
done? Already ships of light draught are
passing through the Suez canal from the Med
iterranean to the Red Sea. The account from
which we CLEAN these particulars says:
The deepest cutting required is 1856 feet, the
average cutting 40 feet, and the summit cut"
would be about four miles long. For canal
270 feet wide on the surface, $50 feet wide at
the bottom. and 81 feet deep, the estimated
cost is $80,000,000. But by the Gulf of Darien
it is said that the highest elevation is but forty
feet, and that the distance from navigable
water on one side to navigable water ON the
other is but thirty -four miles. This is, per-
haps, an under estimate, so far as the distance
between the navigable waters is concerned,
but there can be no doubt of the favorable ma
ture of the topography. The Atrato river
which ampties into one ocean, and the San
Juan, which empties into the other, have their
head waters in the same swampy plain and a
canal practically for boat navigation was cut
through as far back as 1888. This shows the
feasibility Of the work, and is certainly an in
terestins matter of history, for the cutting of
that canal was quite as complete demonstra-
ton as all that has been accomplished by M
Lesseps at Suez, by the expenditure of fifty
million dollars. -,- - ~ ~. - -
