Political Notes,

Hon. NEAL Dow, in letter recently pub
lshed, thinks that while third party may
be the only alternative in States where noih-
ing is to be hoped fer from existing parties,
yet that in this State. the Republican party is
now SO thoroughly temperance that temper
ance men will do the cause the greatest good
by acting cordially with that organization.
NORTH Carolina, according to latest ac-
counts, has gone Democratic by from five TO
| fifteen thousand majority. Cobb, in the lst
district, and Dixon to fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by the death of Heaton and Thomas,
fall Republicans in the I'd district, are GER
tainly elected. The election of Walden icon
servative) over Dockey (Repubican) is GER
tain. Gillian CONSERVATIVE to fill Dawes va.
cancy, and Rogers CONSERVATIVE are elected
to Congress from the 4th district. Rogers
beat Harris about 900 votes. Beach (conser.
vative) is elected over Scott (Republcan) in
the 9th district. Hooper CONSERVATIVE is
doubtless elected over Jones (Repubcan) in
the It'll district. Both houses OF the Leeisla
ture will be largely Democratic; some claim
two-thirds in each house.
PARTIAL returns from Utah indicate 2OO(
votes for Maxwell, the opposition candidate

The course of the Press in giving the pub
lie chance to see both sides of the consoida-
ton question, is producing the desirable re-
suit of drawing out such an amount of infor-
nation as shall enable the public TO study the
question intelligently. On our first page to-
day will he found communication showing
the constitutional provisions made in Illinois
in order to guard against the dangers of con-
soldation. We gave some notice of those
provisions some time ago, but it is well to
have them presented more in detail. Anoth-
er remedy that has been proposed is to have
the track owned by one corporation and the
cars by others. 1t is somewhat remarkable
fact that this plan was adopted on the first in
PRODUCTION of railways into England. In 1901
the "Surrey Iron Railway Company" was in
corporated with capital $175O00 and liberty
to borrow $4,000 more. All persons were to
be allowed TO put rolling stock upon the road
and to run individual trains upon it at rates
of toll fixed by law. The motive power was
then horsepower. On the introduction of
steam the ownership of the track and rolling
stock was concentrated in the same hands.
1t is questionable whether return to the
former system would not be wise. To the
suggestion that the State should own the
track there are grave if not conclusive objec-
tionc

Sunday night, the Assistant Secretary of
State, at Washington, received a despatch
from U. S. Minister WasEhurn, at Paris, con-
filming the announcement that the Prussians
had won two great battles. The Prussan Min
lister Baron Geeoit, also received similar infor-
nation.
While searching for the murderer of Nathan
in New York Sunday, the police discovered
and arrested Eagan, who assaulted and robbed
Jackson, the keeper OF a loan office, last March.
Eagan confessed, and gave the name CT his
accomplice, who was also arrested.
Henry Barnhart, a member of the City
Council, and dealer in flax, was fatally shot
by Thomas Atchison, a rival in business at
Dayton, Ohio, On Saturday. The shooting was
deliberate, and perpetrated during contest
for load of flax. Three shots were feed, one
through the body below the navel. Atchison
was arrested.
A fatal stabbing ARRAY took place in Spring
field Ohio, on Saturday night. about twelve
o'clock, in which David Stevens, plasterer,
was dangerously stabbed in the abdomen, by a
machinst named EPerry Webster. There is
little hopes of Stevens recovery.

the modern confessional in this city and New
YORK, that were startling, but we have no time
or disposition to go into details. Little dis
turbance was made, the police force being
strong enough to defend free speech. But one
fellow was taken out, and the hat of second,
who determined to keep it on his head as an
indication of contempt, was summarly tossed
off by an officer after repeated requests 10 the
rowdy to remove it.

The Recent Battles.

1t is probable that Napoleon fully realizes
the fact that he is not dealing with the stupid,
unintelligent, unenterprisng Austrian. Dis
guise it as he may, it is clear that the recent
defeats he has received are severe blow to
him. His line has been broken, his plan OF
campaign deranged, and his best general de-
feated. OF course this is ineXpressibly gal
ling to the French. 1t is not the harvest of
glory they were expecting. Well may they
ask Of the Emperor, "Where are the victories
you promised us?" Napoleon says every
thing can be re-established, and there is no
doubt that his soldiers, keenly alive to The
sense of national disgrace, will struggle des-
perately to regain their lost ground and pres
tise, and, with military genius at their head,
like the first Napoleon, might by proper STRAIT
egy turn the tide of victory even now, as at
the battle of Marengo. But France has no
such general in any prominent position. The
Emperor while not himself adequate TO the
emergency, prevents any ADLER man from con-
Quoting the campaign. Moreover, it has been
generally conceded that the French had a
greater advantage at the beginning than they
pected by many that it would be the Prus-
SLAMS who would suffer the first reverses, and
that if they were victorious at all their sue
cess would be due to their obstinacy and the
discipline acquired in actual warfare. On the
contrary, Prussia has commenced victorious,
and it is difficult to see how her chances Of
defeat can be increased as the war advances.
In one respect Prussia has a most important
advantage over France. She has, as the lat
ter has not yet, one commanding mind to d.
rect her operations and give unity to all her
military movements. Till France can have
this the valor of her troops will produce but
inadequate results. If the Prussians follow
up their success promptly the third Napoleon
may find his Waterloo without going outside
of France.
AS far as can be ascerained at the hour of
writing, the situation is as follows: The
French right is driven back on Nancy, leav-
ing Strasbourg uncovered, and the south or
French bank of the Lanter river in the hands
of the Prussans. The Lanter is small
stream near the boundary, flowing in a south
easterly direction. The possession of this
river will give the Prussians an excellent
strategetic position between the Rhine and
the Vosges, and forms base for operations in
the vicinity of Strasbourg. Saarbruck is re-
taken from the French, who have also been
compelled to abandon Forbach anu st. Ayolt.
1t is thought Bitche is untenable if not al
ready taken by the Prussians. Regarding the
left of the French army there is no reliable
intelligence. 1t is reported that Thionville
has been attacked and taken by the Prussians,
but the report as yet lacks confirmation. 1t
is also reported that the French centre at
Metz has been attacked. This movement if
not already made, can hardly be postponed
great while. Then will come The great bat

however, will be on county commissioner. L

claims will be earnestly presented, prominent
among whom are Luke Brown, Esq. and Geo.
Chadbourne, ESQ.,, of Bridgton and Henry

GEN. BANKS ON THE WAR.-At The re-
union of the Army and Navy of the Cult IN
Boston on Friday, Gen. Banks devoted con-
siderable time in his remarks to affairs on inc
Continent. His views on this SUBJECT are
summed up as follows:
Our duty is now as heretofore that OF neu-
tralty. Ii is natural, from the character OF
our population the nature OF our principles
and our origin, that we should SympathiZe
with the northern States OF Europe. Our
view of religion, of government, of progress
| and popular rights, would carry us with the
| North but the contest in Europe is not now
OF that character. Denmark, Sweden, Swift
zerlaEd, Hungary and probably Russia, sym
pathize less with the Northern than with the
Southern leaders in the pending war. Prus-
STA has made enemies OF Denmark and Swe.
den by her rapacity Tor teTrif ori0t possessions
| on the Baltic Sea, and OF Austria by her
course in Southern Germany. She has alien
| ated Switzerland, and alarmed Holland and
Belgium by her diplomacy. Every State thai
borders upon her territory. Denmark, Sweden
Switzerland, Holland, France and Austria
have been converted from the position of neu
trality or friendship, to one of implacable hos
! tiity.
| 1t is unnecessary for us to become the par
|
regards intervention with the rights of othel
States, cannot be more questionable. The
absolute supremacy of Prussia in the Baltic
Sea destroys Denmark and Sweden, and shut!
Russia in the Gull OF Finland in the sdmmer
as the ice restricts the navy to the harbor O
Cronstadt in winter. The possession of Hol
land by Prussia, which is in keeping with he
policy, reduces England to fifth rate power
A Prussian King in Spain destroys France
and threatens the eXisteu re of Italy and Aus
tria. 1t is not to be supposed that any of tn
States of Europe will yield to such absolute
domination of a single power.

to Austria, because they are necessary to he
autonomy. France, for aueht have to say
might extend her boundaries to the Rhine
and Denmark should be restored SchIesw
and to Holstein, of which she was robbed b
Prussia and Austria. Spain should have
republic or monarchy, with President O
King chosen from her own people, whcheve
she pleases. Cuba should have its independ
