The MAINE ELECTION.-As the chief subject
OF interest in The late election was that of the
selection a L. s. Senator, the vote of the
gubernatOrial ticket was expected to be small.
Many local questions and various combinations
TO secure members Of the Legislature for favor
tie candidates to the Senate contributed to
make the majority small. Notwithstanding
local and senatorial questions, Mr.. Perham re-
ceived majority Of about one thousand larger
than Gov. Chamberlain last year. There is no
longer much, if any, doubt but that a majority
of the mt mbers of the Legislature are favorable
to the election of Hon. Lot NJ. Morrill, to the
L. s. Senate.

pearance. and this morning were vigorously
making the earth bare again. Query:-Is not
the corporation liable for damages which il per-
mits TO be inflicted on this Improvement, or have
the property holders, who have been taxed for
il, no recourse at law? Y.
IL is our belief that the corporation is liable
fer damages in this case, and We wish some of
the injured property holders would have the
pluck TO test the matter in the courts. A swing
ing bin for damages is about the only thing that
will bring the corporation officials up to the
work Of executing the laws against animals
running at large. A more ridiculous farce
than tie late pretence to execute them
was never enacted. III the police "took
up" any of the stray animals they carefully
put them down again in the same spot, for no. a
Log, COW, goat, or goose is missing from its &C
customed stamping ground. And If any Of them
did get so far On the road to confscation and
determination as the Workhouse, we apprehend
they were speedily "pardoned OUT by our
kind hearted Mayor, to get rid OF the clamor of
the owners, every one OF whom doubtless put on
a poor face and alleged that each individual
hog, COW, sheep, goat, or goose impounded was
the special prop, stay, and support of larger
family than followed John Rogers to the stake
Our Board OF Health also undertook to do
wonderful things in the abatement OF the ANNA,
nuisance, but were similarly bamboozled By the
pig-owners, and ended by giving them per mis-
sion TO keep to the limit 81 of ten hogs in a pen
or lair, until il suited their convenience to kill
their crop. 90 killing time" will occur with
these hog Lords when the general wirding IN of
mundane s-aITs takes plaee-not whit sooner
and then well wager that in certain hog infrst-
ed wards Of this city the pigs will out-sqaeal
Gabriel's trump.
