A TRUE SOUTHERN REPRKsKHrATIvK.


ton that another delegation has waited
upon General Grant in relation to Csb-
met appointment Tnis time 1t is the
Southern CongteEsmen who think lhAs
the new President Is in need OF their
counsel. They suggest that either ex-
Senator Creswell, OF Maryland. or Hor-
nee Maynard, OF Tennessee, would DO ae-
ceptabao 10 their section Of the 9 Union
This, we think. Ia very likely to
be Eue, ior both Mr.. Maynard and
Mr. Creswell 6Tc man OF ability, were
both. loyal to the Union during the
war. and would. therefore, dlly repre-
stnt the loyal element Of the South in
General Grants Cabinet. Nor is II proba.
BILE that, In canvsssing, In his own mind,
ahe merits of different gentlemen, the
President would be likely TO overlook
them, but would permit their qualities
and position to have due weight with
him before msktng his choice Of Cabinet
Ainislers. Ip making that choice, how
ever, we think, as we have said more
than once, that General Grant may
be very safely LEFT to come
to an unassisted decision. Bu.

cemetery at Hyde Park numbered over
three thousand, all on foot, OF decent
and well.behaved class of people.
When the third coffin was about beng
lowered into one of the long and regu-
lar row of excavations, n woman rushed
forward and with desperate energy threw
herself upon the coffin, crying, You
shan't bury my William You shant!
YOU shan't Give him back to me! Or
if YOU won't, bury me with him !" FL
nally the poor creature, betraying in her
distracted face all the strongest emotions
of a passionate sorrow, was prevailed up
on to let the coin be lowered to its place.
But as'the men began to shovel the earth
in on top of it she threw her eyes up to-
ward heaven, clasped her tremulous
hands, and, expression of the widest des-
pairing anguish in her face, which those
who saw will never forget, exclaimed,
+" Oh, Almighty God! take me-take me
to where my William is - And with
frequent repetitions of this strong I'M
ploration, she passed with weary steps
out of the cemetery gate.
The rest of the interment ceremony
was marked by no especial incident, and
the large assemblage present dispersed
quietly when all had been consigned to
the grave.

Maine Election.
HANDSOME REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

HANDSOME REPUBLICAN VICTORY.
The State election of Maine occurred
last Monday and considering the divis-
ions among the republicans, resulted in
a handsome republican triumph. The
third candidate for governor, ran on a
Prohibition platform, and of course drew
only from the republican ranks. Gov.
Chamberlin is reelected by over 5000
majority, and the legislature is straight
republican by an overwhelming MAORI
ty, thus securing the right sort of man
for U. S. Senator in place of Fessenden,
deceased last week. The vote is very
light being over forty thousand less than
last year. The republican vote diverted
to the third candidate, added to Cham
berlin's majority, makes the usual I'm
ion republican majority IN the State.

WHICH Is THE BEST CLOTHES WIRING
Err AFTER careful examination, we rec
ommend the +" Universal" as the best
and strongest machine.
1t has patent cog-wheels (Rowells
patent double goar) with very long and
strong alternating teeth, which, together
with the patent stop" (Which on no
other wringer) allows the rubber rollers
to separate sufficiently to run through the
largest article easily, yet cannot separate
so far that the cogs will disconnect and
lose their power, as in the case with 9TH
er wringers, whether the cogs are on one
or both sides of the shaft.
1t also has the peculiar advantage of
two pressure screws, SO arranged that
each screw presses on both ends of the
rolls alike, the same as if it was in the
centre, while the two together give dou-
BILE the capacity for pressure.
The " UNIVERSAL has its iron parts
either wrought or malleable, and is built
SO strongly and substantially that for
years it cannot be broken in wringing
garments by the strongest person.
Our readers may be quite sure they
will find the Universal wringer a
good and serviceable article. = Boston
Traveller.

The Union republican majority in this
State will be even somewhat larger than
first reports indicated last week, and will
settle at about 10000. The Senate is
unanimously republican as before, while
most of the few towns that elect demo-
cratic representatives, are republican.
and did SO from local divisions. Consid-
ering the light vote this majority is ire
mendous, and ON the whole is not so good
a vote to gain from next year as we had
hopedl

ceived fatal injuries.
Near Jonesboro Ind, on the Union

Thomas Carlyle is not very hope

perate velocity The scum of the world

adopted by the legislature soon TO meet
Nor will it elect senator who Will IN
tentionally do anything to support the
administration, which has nothing to
hope or nothing to fear from any man 1t
may choose. Andrew johnson, If elect
ed, as he probably will be, will do Moth
ing purposely for it, though his presence
in the Senate, as the champion of his pe-
culiar views, will be less likely to harm
the administration than embarrass his
own political associates. The republican
party, therefore, having nothing to lose
and the democratic party nothing to gain
by his election, it should be neither fear
ed nor regretted.
This election, resulting from such evil
dent want of principle and of ordinary
political sagacity, should be a lesson not
only to the republicans of the south but
of the north. 1t should chasten person.
al ambition, and lead the supporters of
the administration to be cautious, firm,
and practical. 1t should, at least, teach
republicans politicians and presses one
thing-that nothing is to be gained by
talking about or acting upon the theory
that the democratic party is a broken,
powerless, and perishing organization.
Wrong in every issue, during fifteen
years it has fought on, bearing burdens
such as no political party in this country
could have staggered under and live. 1t
still lives. Though defeated, it is still a
power in the land. 1t has able, adroit,
skillful and accomplished leaders, great
wealth, and the means of influencing
large masses of men. 1t behooves those,
therefore, who mean to carry the present
administration successfully through and
keep the government out of the control
of party which has in its ranks, in ad-
dition to its other elements of power, the
great body of unrepentant rebels, to be
on their guard. They should subordi-
nate personal ambitions and rivalries,
loves and hatreds, to the demands of lib
erty, justice, and patriotism. The men
who carried the nation through the war,
made the country free, sustained Mr..
Lincoln and elected Gen. Grant should
realize that the men who still believe in
the :" lost cause do not mean to trust
any republican they cannot use. They
should realize, too, that neither state,
the nation, nor an emancipated race are
safe in the keeping of political organ.
ization which numbers in its ranks the
men whose only regret even low for the

CAUSE OF SENATOR FEssENDEN's
DEATH.--A post mortem examination of
the body of Senator Fessenden was made
on Thursday morning. A report in the
Portland Press says itwas found that
just above where the smaller bowels en-
ter into the larger, the canal had con-
'tracted so as to be entirely closed, and
the bowels fora foot or more above the
obstruction were in high state of in
-fammation. A perforation was also
found above the obstruction, and it was
the opinion of the physicians that at the
time he first called the, doctor, on Tues
day, the 21st day of August, he made
this rupture, and that human skill could
avail nothing toward saving his life
and that when he felt the severe pain a
lew hours before. his death, after return
ing to his bed, he probably increased this
rupture, bringing ON immediate dissoIu-
ton; that this trouble had been coming
on for some time back. Mr.. Fessenden
having been sufferer from chronic d.
arrhea for at least a year past, and that
the few days before the physicians we're
called the constipation, which he looked
upon as a favorable sign toward restor-
ing a.healthy action to the system, was
really most alarming symptom.

The BENEFIT OF BEING LATE.-There
is sometimes an advantage in being late,
and two men found it so at Avondale
last week. 1t was rule of the mana
gers of the mine that any man arriving
at the mouth of the shaft for the pur-
pose of descending, after the bell tolled
seven, should not be allowed to work
that day. Monday morning two men
came late, but only by few minutes.
The person in charge of the cage refused
to let them go down, at which they grum-
bled and swore, and threatened to be
even one day with the unaccomodating
official. They saved their lives by the
means.
