Maine.

The State election in Maine will take
place on the 18th inst, and the Bangor
Democrat lately published statement
of the chances of success fer the Democ-
racy, based on the division of the Radi-
cal organization. According to this
estimate the Prohibition party will
draw off oue-seventh. of the Radical
vote, and from that fact, the Democrat
hopes to accomplish something definite
this year. 1t estimates that in all the
sixteen counties of the State the popu-
lar vote will stand respectively, in
round numbers, thus: SMITH, 1000 ;
CHAMBERLAIN, $4,000; HIcHBoRN, 5000.
This would make the total
vote, in round numbers, 100000
against 13l, 900 in 1868, and lO3,-
600 in 1867. AS a majority elects,
there will therefore be no election
of Governor by the people; but that
duty will devolve upon the Legisla-
ture. This being conceded, the Democrat
then proceeds to canvass the chances Of
parties in that body. Proceeding on
the basis of the table from which the
popular vote above given was de-

From the London Standard
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
His Visit 10 Glasgow.

This gentleman is the lion OF Glasgow
and its vicinity just now, himself and
party having established themselves in
that city, and made several excursions
in the neighborhood. On Wednesday,
en- route to Glasgow, they passed
through Dumfermline, and visited the
Abbey Church and ruins. Mr.. Davis
then paid visit to Stirling, and left for
Callander in the evening. The news
soon spread that the ex.President was
in the town, and as he left per train in
the evening three hearty cheers were
given by the large concourse of people
congregated on the platform. Nj. Davis
afterward paid visit to Dollar. AT
Glasgow he visited the Exchange,
where, in expectation of n visit, there
was a crowded attendance. The assem-
blage opened a passage in the center of
the hall, up to which Mr.. Davis walked,
and at the end of the room entered his
name in the visitors book. On leaving
the building Mr.. Davis was loudly
cheered.
The shipbuilding yard of the Messrs'
Napier & Govan was also visited; after
which the party returned to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Smith, Benvue, Dowanhill.
On Thursday, Mr.. Davis, with DR.. Chas.
Mackay, left Glasgow for Oban. Mr.
Smith and a number of friends accom-
panied him some distance down the
Clyde. On leaving the Broomielaw
quay, where there was large con-
course of persons, Mr.. Davis was fol-
lowed by ioud cheers, which he &C.
knowledged by raising his hat and
bowling repeatedly. A similar demon
stration was accorded him at Greenock,
Dunoon, lunella, Rothesay and Tighna-
bruaich, the crowds who were assem-
bled at the different piers exhibiting an
eager desire to have a sight at the fa-
nous ex-President of the Southern
States.

How m Bostou Woman Protects Her
Hu.band,s Purse and Corrects His
Morals.
The Boston Herald is responsible for
the fol lowing: The particulars OF
strange and most amusing affair were
last evening brought officially before
the attaches of the Second Police Sta
ton. Late in the afternoon, quite a
good looking and well appearing young
married man, named George Wadleigh,
who, with his wife, Is stopping at No. 7
Chickering place, was passing to and
fro along that now broad, and, in some
respects, rather dangerous thoroughfare
known as Hanover street, when he met,
accosted and was duly recognized by
two young and prettily dressed damsels
of ye "Electa Cypria" school of morals.
After the usual sidewalk preliminaries
were over, George being well supplied
with legal tenders, wanted these soiled
doves to accompany him to an oyster
saloon near at hand, and partake of
some oysters. They freely consented,
and in due time the trio were cOzily re-
freshing themselves over three steaming
hot bowls of New York oysters. Becom-
ing suddenly i'll, or for some other ex-
cuse, one of the damsels quietly took
herself away, leaving George alone with
the other dove. Directly check telling
the score he had to settle was laid before
him, when, to his great astonishment,
he found that his well-tilled pocket.
book was gone. In his wrath he
hastily left the saloon, and commu-
nicated to Officer Bartlett, of the
Second Station, his trouble. The
girl he left behind him was Immediately
arrested and taken to the statien-house,
and search was at once instituted for
her companion. In the meantime,
George hasteued off to Chickering place,
and with face longer than the phiz of
a Harvard student, shortly after noon
day yesterday, told the story of his loss
to his dear little wife. She took it very
quietly, was not the least agitated, and
his story being done, she simply said to
him, George, you have much smarter
and better wife than you have any idea
of. Here is your pocket-book, with all
your money. saw you enter the saloon
with those girls, and managed to take
the pocket-book from your pocket.

rived, the Democrat gives to its party in
the Senate-bearing in mind that the
Prohibitionists are to run Independent
Senatorial tickets in every county
nine members elect to the Republicans
eight, and claims no choice In the
fourteen remaining districts. These
vacancies will therefore have to be filled
by an election of the House and Senate
in concurrence. Hence the probable
complexion of the House becomes an
important speculation ia it's turn. In
Representatives a plurality will elect;
and as the two wings of the Republican
party will run separate candidates In
each district, taking the foregoing popu'
lar vote as the basis of an estimate, the
Democrats will elect eighty members
and the Republicans seventy-one. This
makes the House Democratic by posi-
tive majority; and in conjunction with
the Senate. the fourteen untitled Sena-
torships will be supplied with Demo-
Gratis. So that the two branches of the
Legislature would stand thus: Senate,
Democrats %, Republicans s; House,
Democrats 80. Republicans II. After
the Legislature shall have thus taken
it's fixed character, the choice of Frank
lin Smith, Democrat, as Governor be-
comes a certainty, and the politics of
Maine are changed. This, of course, is
speculation, but it comes from a we'll
informed source, and is well calculated
to infuse life, animation and pluck in
the Democrats of Maine during the
present canvass.

written by the former to aVlrginia paper

a hostile meeting, but the matter was
amicably adjusted, however.

Robbery OF the san Francisco Mint.

Robbery OF the san Francisco Mint.
The settlement of the affairs of the
retiring officers Of the United States
Branch Mint in this city, says the San
Francisco Ibd, has proceeded satisfac-
torlly and smoothly ustil within few
days past, when it has been discovered
that deficiency has suddenly been
made in the coiner's department of
$4,000. As is alleged, on high authori.
ty, this deficiency has been made, un.
doubtedly, since the lst of August, Up
to that date all the transactions of
the coiner's department, ike those
of the melter and refiner's, have
been found in the satisfactory condition
which always characterized them. Bnt
since cleaning up and final settlement
began, the operatives have been much
demoralized by parties running out and
IN, with threats and reports of re.
movals and charges of subordipates.
and the expectant officials have had
their share of responsibility in this con-
fusion. The theory of the officers in
charge is, that the $4,000 alleged to be
missing has been distracted In a lump
by some person or persons whs have
had access to the bullion, in the custo.
dy of which they had no responsibility.
The transaction is not a eefalcatiop.
but if the gold has disappeared it is a
downright theft of bullion by persons
as vet 1nknnwh. Great efforts will be
made to clear up the affair, and, if the
figures still show the deficit to exist,
the thief may yet be discovered. This
matter will occasion real regret every
where, and if it had not been for this
unexpected piece Of dishonesty on the
part of irresponsible parties, the affairs
of the Branch Mint would have been
closed with great credit to those con,
cerned.

Dexter Beats his Bes, Saddle Time.

On Friday afternoon, after the neat
of the day was past, Mr.. Bonner drove
the famous Dexter in a roadwagon over
the Fashion Course to give him 1ast
brush on the track. He found the course
like plowed field, in consequence OF 1t
being deeply narrowed for the running
meeting held there next week, so that
fast driving was out of the question.
John Murphy, the famous trottlng
iockey. who rode Dexter in his memora-
BILE match against time over this track,
when he went in 2:1s Is, observing
that Dexter was moving freely. and
fast, asked Mr.. Bonner's permission
to breeze him around under the sad
die, which was given. Procuring an
old and heavy saddle. Murphy mount
ed his old favorite, and sent him around
the track. He found his little horse ex-
tend himself in his long vigorous stride
so fast and freely, that he requested Mr..
Bonner and the lookers-on to time him
a mile from stand to stand. The track
had been deeply narrowed five feet
from the fence, so that he had to go out
wide on the track to get tolerable going.
A fair seud-off, and the white-legged
equine locomotive shot forth on his mile
career at marvellous rate of speed, and
when the watches were stopped as the
horse crossed the score again, their
hands showed the time of two minutes
and seventeen and hree.quarter Sec
