We are pleased to learn that Mr.. Elwell
editor ofthe Portland Transcript, prepared
q lecture entitled 1.-The Land We Live In, "
which he is now prepared to deliver before
lyceums and other institutions. 1t is design
cd to combat an idea which has become al
together too prevalent, that the State of Maine
is an undesirable one to live in, and that the
means of living and enjoyment are to be had
much easier in some far off locality. This
false notion has sent thousands of Young men
to the West, to learn that hard work and
hard fare are to be found there, and to come
back with their bones racked by maarious
fever. 1t has urged thousands to the distant
shores ofCalifornia, to sink in the whirlpools
of vice, or live in penury, rags and dirt
The facts are. that when all the advantages
of Maine are taken into account-its varied
products, its access to the sea, its healthEul
climate, abundant means of living, and even
of wealth, no State in the Union is its superb
or. Those of her sons and daughters who
don't believe it while here, will realize the
fact when they have left it. We hope some
day to have a delivery of this lecture in Bel
fast.

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

In less than three weeks the annual election
takes place in the old Granite State For
years and years it stood as firm as adamant
in the Democratic ranks, and even of late the
radicals have been able to carry it only by the
most meagre majority. 1t has always seemed
on the verge of coming back to its first love
But now, more than ever before, does the
prospect brighten.
The radicals are in a bitter quarrel among
themselves. Two new parties have sprung
into existence, made up, as in all such cases,
in by far the largest proportion, of the domi
nant party. There are four tickets in the
field entirely distinct--viz: the Democratic,
the Radical, the Temperance and the Labor
Reform. The new parties are showing much
| strength, and are full Of enthusiasm and
pluck. 1t is generally predicted that the
back of radicalism is to he broken at the
March election. If so, God be praised
The Philadelphia Age, very properly ques
tons the right of Mr.. Senator-elect, Breve
Brigadier Gen. Ames, who carried the Mis-
sissippi election at the point of the bayonet
and cot himself elected T. S. Senator, on tn,
ground that he is not a citizen of Mississippi
1t says
CHOW it is very plain that Lieutenant-C olone
Ames (Brevet GeneraD, of the State of Maine die
not go to Mississippi to establish his domicile. HI
went there on duty as an officer. If he has since
made that State his residence he should Affirmative
ly show it. His mere presence in the State will
not establish it. He came there in the character
that is prima facie, just the opposite Of volunta
ry resident; soldier moving about under orders
This question has wide importance. Itinvoves the
power of the Executive to send thousand or ter
thousand soldiers into any state territory, to de
termne the elections, by their ballots, instead 81
their bayonetS. This ought not to be possible

THE PAPER CREDIT INVESTIGATION.
This matter has SO far advanced as that
the committee on investigation has been
formed 1t is constituted as follows


majority would allow upon this committee is
Mr. Slower of Harpswell! What a magnif-
cent sense Of fairness possesses the controll-
ing party at the State House. To the party
that has nearly one-half the voters of the
State they give actually one committee man
out of ten! And that, too, in an investiga-
ton that is seeking to find the hole in which
a million dollars of the peoples money has
disappeared
Why did not the President of the Senate
have the courtesy and fairness to place on
the committee such a man rs Phlander j.
Carlton9 Is it because Mr.. Carlton is toe
thorough, when charged with duty, and
might go so far as to probe this corruption
And in the House, why is the Democratic
party not represented by such a man of eX-
perience and thorough integrity rs Hon.
Isaac Reed9 Mr.. Slower is undoubtedly q
very honest man. but one not SO much accus-
toned to matters of the kind, perhaps, as &c

and insist on thoroughness of investigation

coupled with the foreshadowings Of the

the corruption is too great to be investigated
