For example, Mr. @. L. White, in his ad-
dress before The Third Wand Club, X re-
,orted as stating there were Is, 0oo. .co'orel
vote1s in Illinois. Perhaps ha aaid, or
meant to say, 1900, which w,ala be much
nearer tho true number. The colored pop
nlation Of Illinois, BY the State census Of
1866, was abont 1G, 900, and at this TIME is
not far from 20, 000, Of which number
something less than one in fiye, or 1000,
are voters. The counties in which the col
ored population can be rockoned as any-
Thing moro than *tscattering," are the fol-
lowing: Adams with 500; Alexander,
1900; Cook, 5000; Madison,
1000; Randolph, 1900; sangamon,
$50; ST. Clair, 1,00O; Morgan, 500;
Fno1, 450; Gallatin, 500. The other coun-
ties have from o to $50 each, the total he.
ng, ns before stated, about 0,000, with
ess ttnn 4,nDo voters. The largest num-
her OF co1ored voters in any Northern
Ststo is in Pennsylvania. where they num-
her oser 10000; in New York there are
soon; in Ohio, 1900; in New jersey,
a.600; Illinois, 5000; Indiana, $500;
Connecticut, o,i0g. In the Bcrder States
they are more numerous thus, in the little
state of Delaware there are 4,o00 colorod
voters; in Maryland, ~, 600; in Kentucky,
',oo0; in Missouri 1880; in West vir-
ginia, 1000. But their great strength is
in the Gulf States, where, in several, they
outnun.ber the whites. The total colored
vote in tho United States is 500, 600, Of
! whom rot to exceed $1,000 ere north Of

One Of the most gratifying results of the
Ohio election is the triumphant rstnrn to
Congress of General Beatty, Of the Mans
field district, which was deemed "close
and doubtful" The General was an out
spoken revenue reformer. His platform
on the ta1iH question was tho lowest rate

TIE following facts IN regard to the Red
River expedition are published in the Detroit
Post:
On Saturday or Monday last the British
Minister in Washington, in the name of the
British government, made a formal application
to The government of the United States,
through Secretary Fish, for permission to
pass transports engaged in the service of the
Red River expedition through the Sault St.
Marie Canal. Minister Thornton has given
official assurance to Secretary Fish that the
trouble tn the Red River country has been
peaceably and entirely settled by an agreement
between Her Majesty's government in the
Dominion and delegates representing the en-
tire population of the Red River country, and
that the purpose of the present expedition is
purely a peaceful one. Thereupon Secretary
Fish telegraphed to Gov. Baldwin, the dis
patch reaching the governor on Tuesday, CIV
ing the official statement made by the British
Minister, and saying that in view of these
statements the President desires the Chicora
and other vessels of similar character, that
is, we suppose, unarmed vessels employed as
public transports, may pass through the Ca
nal, provided they do not carry troops or
munitions of war. In accordance with these
instructions from Washington Gov. Baldwin
has sent the proper directions to the Superb
tendent of the Canal.

SATURDAY. Morping, May 81, 1870.
An Elective Judiciary,


Last Tuesday in New York Judges. were
elected for the Court of Appeals as well as
for the city courts, and the result is instrrc-
tive upon this question of choosing the indie
larry by ballot. For mary years the persons
selected by the Tweed's and Sweeney's to sit
upon the benches of the several tribunals of
lSo calied) justice in that State, have been
pregnant examples of what follows from leay
ing 10 political wire pullers the control OF these
eiectlons; but the issue of Tuesdays bal!oting
Is interesting in another aspect. 1t shows
That when the bench of the highest tribunal
Is to be filled for term of fourteen years and
no officers purely and avowedly political are
to be voted for. rot one half of the legal vot-
ers care to 20 to the polls 1t certainly could
be no very great hardship to deny the people
that privilege which is so lightly esteemed
and so abused. For the highest seat in this
Court of last resort in the Empire State a
man Stanford E. church, was triumphantly
elected who had no other than political claims
to entitle him to the honor. In the Demo-
cratic National Convention of July 1866, he
consented to be one of the stalking-horses
from behind which were thrown the shafts to
kill the ambitious Chief Justice and the
champion of Reputation.
For him the New York delegation cast it's
vote steadily, ballot after ballot, just as New
Jersey threw hers for Joel Parker and Pei n
sylvania for Asa Packer, with common I'M
derstanding that when the suspicious mo-
ment appeared to be reached, they should
each abandon their straw men and vote for
the person they really meant should succeed
all the time-Horatio Seymour. The trick
was successful SO far, but the people refused
to ratify. Now they reward Mr.. Church with
position for which he is wholly untitled by
reason of his political relations and past train
ing. The inevitable consequence of throng-
ing these nominations into party caucuses or
conventions is the choice of demagogues for
judges; and they feel during their whole
official term that they owe fealty to those who
elected them, and to whom they must look
for continuance in Office. No fair man
familiar with the names, no matter what his
political preferences may be, will hesitate to
admit that as lawyers and citizens those who
were defeated on Tuesday were incomparably
the superiors of the successful candidates.
From these mon we shall have just such ac-
ton and such decisions as have made the
metropolis of the county kissing and a
bye-word in years past which are a tray
esty of all law and which render order i'm
possible and justice a hopeless pursuit.

The Oxford Democrat supports Hon. Will
liam P. Frye as candidate for the Republican
nomination for Congress in the Second Dis
trict, and says there will probably be no can.
didates before the convention but Mr. Frye
and Mr.. Morrill,, the present member.
WE have seen letter, says the Bangor
Wing, from Gov. Chamberlain, in which he
states lost emphatically, that he will not be
the candidate of any party at the approaching
Gubernatorial election. Coy. Chamberlain
during his administration, has conferred last
ing honor upon the State of Maine, and wi
retire from the chair with the respect and es.
teem of the entire State.
The Missouri Democrats are not at all pleas
ed at the refusal of their State Central Com
mittee to call State Convention this year,
and some Of them are signing an independent
call and demanding State ticket.
THE Democrats of the Fourth District of
Indiana are quarreling in advance over their
nominee for Congress, some wishing Hon.
John S. Reid, who made the race against Mr..
Julian in 1868, and others wishing Hon. David
S. Gooding, nominated.
J. G. Gibbs, colored man, who delivered
the Grafton at the fifteenth Amendment Gel
ebration in Jacksonville, Fla, told his hearers
that the three great elements of strength now
in their possession are brain-power, muscle
and the ballot, and that the three most i'm
portant things for them to do TO improve
themselves and bless their State, are to live
upon their own land, educate themselves ant
their children, and vote with the Republican
Party.
The N. Y. Standard charges the late Re.
publican defeat upon Horace Greeley, and says
he prefers to "dieker" instead of fight, and was
the chief cause of restoring Tammany TO
power by heading the mutlny of the young
Democracy.

hoiise, and fifteen pounds In cash. Il was
also, voted to pay salary Of forty-five pounds
year, to be increased three pounds per year
until it should amount to yearly payment of
seventy-five pounds sterling. 1t was further
stipulated that this salary should be paid one
fifth in cash, the remainder in beef, pork, corn,
rye or labor, giving the pastor the privilege of
choosing what articles he would take with this
Limitation, that he should not claim more than
one third OF the salary to be paid in this man
ner in any one article. The parish, also, voted
to furnish him with twenty. five cords of wood
year delivered at his house.
Immediately upon having secured a pastor
the people set about building house of wor-
ship, and the next year, 1890, the work OF build
ing was begun under the direction oil COM
mittee consisting of John Peabody, Daniel
Brigham and Phineas ingalls,. The first meet
ing house, as it was called in early days, was
built at some distance from where the present
house of worship stands. The site of the old
house can be determined, however, by the old
churchyard in which are sleeping now three
generations of the honored dead. The build
ing, at present occupied by this society, was

modious Town Hall rendered it useless. and it
was then soon removed.
The original parish Of Bridgton included
more than the present extent of the town !;
while there are now in the town two other
Congregational churches; the second, organic
ed at South Bridgton in 1929, of which Rev.
Joseph P. Fessenden, brother OF the late Gen.
Samuel Fessenden, was the pastor for more
than twenty-five years; and the third, organic.
ed North Bridgton in 1882. The First Parish
has fund Of twenty eight hundred dollars,
eighteen hundred of which was realized from
the sale Of ministerial lands, and one thousand
the gift of Robert Andrews. The society at
South Bridgton has fund of five thousand
dollars, the gifts of Enoch Perley and Robert
Andrews of Bridgton, of Thomas Perley of
Boxiord, Mass. The history of few churches
in our State would show more uniform pros
perity than would that of the First Parish of
BridgtOn. G.
