a Jolly Defeat in Maine.

The Radicals, on Monday, achieved vic
tory in Maine; but let few more such VIC
tories be won, and the party Of moral
"ideas" is undone. The Governor is
chosen in the Pine Tree State every year;
aud MIR. Chamberlain has now for four con-
secutive terms been elected as the Radio al
candidate. In 1866, when he was first
nominated, his majority was 27,690 In
1867, this was cut down to 1882. In 1858
his majority was 1886. The contest this
year was looked for with especial interest,
inasmuch ss it was to be the first Northern
State election Of any political Importance
that would occur since the Grant admins
tration came into power. The result, as
announced in our telegraphic advioes, is
significant enough. The Radicals have
again carried the State, it is true; bat with
clear, loss since last year, of over fourteen
thousand Vetes.

hold out for any length of time against
the n,inesoSners. On Monday morning last
the funeral of q miner was announced,
to which all Of the miners were inVi-
ted except the Welsh. The story now pre-
vailng to some extent in the coal regions, ac-
cording to the correspondent alluded to is,
that when the Avondale miners went to their
work on Monday morning the wooden petition
in the shaft was fred with kerosene oil by
some person standing in the tunnel, forty feet
below the top of the shaft, and the work OF de-
struction thus began. To give color TO tnls
horrible assumption of the mine being hred'
one man states that the brattice, (meaning the
centre portion of the shaft was less burned
below than above, and that lift we're set on hre
from the furnace in the mine the lower part
would be totally consumed, and the upper
would be the least affected. The story is Alto
oetber too horrible for credence.

Our Liverpool steamShip Line.

Steam, of late years, has come to be the
arbiter Of commerce, and cities thrive and
prosper just in proportion as they choose to
avail themselves of it's power. The South
ern seaports are at this time engaged in an
active commercial rivalry. Each is strug
Cling hard to secure and fix, for its own
sdvantage, that great stream Of trade which,
as vet, seems shifting from point to point,
and ready to submit itself to the contfol of
the first community that shall display the
bolduess, energy and tact to grasp 30 rich
prize. The Gulf ports are practically out
of the ring The most natural outlet for
the immense yield Of the Mississippi Valley
would undoubtedly be the water courses
that Aow to the Gulf; but the saving Of
time by the shipment Of produce via the
Atlantic ports outweighs all other con-
siderations, and the trade Of the great
West exhibits steadily growing ten
dency to seek our seaboard. With
reasonable exertions on our part to
extend needful facilities, this tendency
can be shaped and encouraged 30 as to be-
come the permanent and Interchangeable
course of trade. Charleston combines in a
surprising degree the natural and artificial
advantages which should entitle her to the
lions share of this great Western business.
Her great railway lines stretching out to
the very banks of the Father Of Waters; her
fine steamship lines, connecting regularly
and frequently with the Northern cities,
and her noble harbor, all point to bright
and prosperous future for our city. But
chiefly, can she claim q rightful precedenc 9
over her rivals inasmucn as she has al
ready established line Of staunch and
splendid steamships to Liverpool, which
are, we trust, to be but the pioneers Of other
lines Of direct steam communication be-
tween the South and Europe. It has already
been stated in TIE News that this great
enterprise, SO successfully inaugurated last
season, through the energy and public
spirit Of the house of R. Mure & Co., is to
be maintained by the same house during
the season now opening. A cable telegram,
received yesterday, announces that the
first steamer will leave Liverpool for this
port direct, on or about the OH Of o ct ober
Shippers from all parts Of the Southwest
can rely upon the most reasonable rates
and the quickest dispatch by this line, and
merchants in our own State, Georgia, Ala
bsma, Florida, Tennessee and even Mis-
sissippi will promote their interests by or.
deriug imported goods direct by these
steamships. We earnestly invoke the good
Offices Of oar contemporaries Of the press in
behalf Of our enterprise, which it should be
3 matter Of pride with the whole South to
sustain.,w

The Lancaster Railroad Movement.

A spirited railroad meeting was held at
Lancaster Courthouse on last sales day,
which was largely attended by persons rep
resenting the wealth, intelligence and va
ried interests of the county. Communioa-
tions were read from Charlotte, Camden
and Chester promising hearty cooperation
in the movement to extend railroad faoili-
ties to Lancaster, and resolutions were
unanimously adopted urging the County
Commissioners to subscribe the sum Of two
hundred thousand dollars Of stock toward
the construction Of railroad from Laneas-
ter Courthouse to Camden, Chester, Char
lotte, N. c., or to any other point Of oon-
nection with the general scheme Of rail-
roads in the South, which they may deem
most advisable, and which may hold out
the best promise of success. A committee
was then appointed to act in conjunction
with similar committee on the part of
Kershaw County, to apply to the presi-
dent and directors of the South Carolina
Railroad, and ascertain if the Camden
branch can be purchased, and if so, upon
what terms, and to report the same to an
adjourned meeting to be held on the first
Monday in October.
A responsive meeting was held in Char
lotte, N. c., on the 9th instant, at which
much encouragement was given to the pro-
ject. Delegates were present from Lancas-
ter and Kershaw, and the meeting was ad-
dressed by DR.. DeSaussure, Of Camden
Messrs. Moore and Connors, Of Lancaster;
and by DR.. Fox, Governor Vance and Gene
raj Bsrringer, Of North Carolina. Reso-
lutions were passed warmly commencing
the proposed enterprise, and giving pledges
of assistance in its prosecution by liberal
subscriptions to the stock. Charlotte de-
clares that she wants more direct route
to the seacoast and more markets opened
to her trade.

Making hdisors to Order.

There is general litter among news
paper men at the well-intended but utterly
visionary proposition Of a Virginia College
to create "Chair Of Current Literature"
to become Journalists to learn the "princi.
"ples and practice Of the profession. The
knights of the quill declare with one voice
that the true editor is "born, not made, "
and that the best possible training to de-
velope latent genius for journalism is a
term of service either as printers devil or
in some other equally practical capacity in
connection with the off &c of q live news
paper. The learned faculty, we fancy, will
find it puzzling question to decide what
special branches should be taught, or rath-
er what should not be taught the youths
whom they would train up as the lights of
the Fourth Estate. For the journalist diff
fers from all other professional men, in
having no specially, on which he can afford
to concentrate his attention. There is no
department Of human knowledge from which
the newspaper will not, at times, need in
formation, and hence the best editors are
eften those who have the Unborn power and
tact to avail themselves with discrimination
and in season. Of the brains and varied at
tsinments of other people. Another OBJ
vious objection to the scheme would be the
impossibihty Of providing suitable ''pro-
fessor OF 'urnsiism." Mdnifestly none but
a prso'ical and first class journalist could
I'LL the place. and it is very certain that no
such man could be found who would accept
it. Oa toe "hole, We are much inclined to
concur with Western paper which advises
