EXTENSIVE RELIGIOUS REvIvALs.--The In
dependent of this week has collected accounts
of religious revivals from various parts of the
country, which indicate greater inten-
sity of interest among the churches, es-
pecially those of the Methodist, Presbyterian
and Congregational persuasions-than has
prevailed for at least year past 1t appears
that the reports of the past week show twelve
thousand three hundred and forty accessions
to churches, or conversions. Even this large
number is considerably within the truth, for
in the reports of revivals among the Presbyte-
rians and Congregationalists no estimates Of
the number of conversions are given.
Special interest has been excited by the
preaching of Mr.. Hammond, in Rochester
N. Y, where, on single evening, as many as
one hundred and Fifty have risen to ask for
prayer, and in that of Mr.. H. f. Durant in
Dover, New Hampshire. The latter was for
several years regarded as one of the ablest
lawyers at the Boston bar, but a few years
since felt called to assume the duties of a lay
preacher which he has done with remarkable
success.

WHAT WILL THEY Do WITH THEM p
The short and simple announcement that each
Senator has six tick cts of admission to the
Senate galleries on Inauguration day and each
Representative two of the same, and further
more that "the demand for tickets is very great,
has world of suggestiveness. How these
honorable members must be tormented by Gu
rious constituents, to each one of whom they
are solely indebted for their nominations.
How their slumbers will be disturbed by inn
Fortunate people who will come to them a
midnight to torment them. How many pretty
girls will try the effect of their blandishment
upon them in the hope to secure the coveted
pasteboard. But then, the honorable mem
bers will endure even this for the sake of serv
ing their country.

The LATE GEN. WYMAN B. S. MOOR, whose
death in Virginia was announced Tuesday
morning, has long been prominently known in
the business and political circles of Maine.
He was born in Waterville, November 3, 1874
and consequently was only 30 years old at the
time of his decease. He graduated in 1881 at
Waterville College, now Colby University and
was admitted to the bar in 1884, after pursu-
ing the study Of law at Cambridge, Mass.
Becoming rapidly conversant with political
affairs, he was elected to the Legislature in
1889, and was afterwards Attorney General
from 1874 to 1848. John Fairfield having died
in December 1847, before the expiration of his
term as United States Senator from Maine,
Governor Dana appointed General Moor to
fill that position in which he served till the
election of Hannibal Hamlin by the Legisla.
ture in 1848 After retiring from the Senate
he devoted himself to business, and acquired
large property from railroad and other invest
ments. In 1857 he was appointed Consul
| General to Canada by President Buchanan,
and filled that Office in creditable manner
till the Republicans obtained possession of the
government in 1861. Since that time General
Moor has not been called to any public posi-
ton, having continued to act and vote with
the Democratic party. His health has been
failing for some years and our brief dispatch
announces that his visit to Virginia in the
hope of restoring his shattered constitution
was of no avail.
General Moor was a man of striking person
al appearance and of dignified and courteous
address. As an attorney his skill was known
and appreciated among the members of his
profession, while his shrewdness as a politician
was of great service to the Democracy in the
old times when that party was in power. His
name is identified with some of the most i'm
portant railroad projects in the State, espec-
tally the Penobscot. and Kennebec, now
known as the Maine Central, he having been
the contractor that built that part of the line
between Bangor and Watervile. As Attor-
ney-General he prosecuted the Indictment in
the most celebrated murder case in the annals
of Maine, that of Coolidge for the murder of
Matthews.

MoREDEMocRATIc BEJoIcNGs.-Th thun-
deriug burst of merriment with which the Ar
gus greets the untoward result of Mondays
election is not so amusing as the smothered
chuckle of its daily Conservative ally. The
one Is the guffaw of an avowed enemy OF Re-
pubcanism while the other is the more re-
served but not less genuine expression of joy
on the part of one that has plotted in secret,
consorted with the enemy, fought the Repub-
lican party with innuendoes, ambiguous dec
larations, captious criticisms and mysterious
ghosts of accusations, and has labored TO pring
about by indirection what it dare not openly
advocate. The Conservative journal has had
its REVENGE upon the Republicans, and a store
Of iealousies. envious feelings and spiteful
nreiudices have been gratified. 1t hated Mr..
Drummond, it hated the City Committee, it
hated the whole Radical organization. 1t has
made more Democratic voters in two months
than the Argus could make in year, because
it wore fiimsy mask. 1t has made its mark
as democratic paper, and we wonder that the
Argus IN paying it the compliment of being q

SO obscured by the typographical error which

servative contemporary if it is willing to stand
| by its proposition that Mr.. Drummond's defeat
was a rebuke for his conduct in supporting
| Mr.. Ha Min and that the Senatorial question
was in issue on Monday. 1t will perceive that
| if this was the case it will hardly be able to
maintain its other proposition that the Morrill,
men" constitute majority of the Republicans

hypothesis is true, they were all Hamlin votes
1t has therefore proved, if it has proved any
thing, that the Republicans of Portland are
Hamlin men, ten to one, and that they desired
| to endorse Mr.. Drummonds course at Angus
ta being defeated by the coalition of few
Morrill, men with the Democrats. We com
mend our contemporary to all good Democrats
