THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT AND CONSOLE
DATIoN.-The Augusta Standard in an article
laudatory of Judge Rice, says:
To him we are largely indebted for the de-
feat OF several vigorous attempts to remove the
seat OF government from our city, and by bring.
ing about the consolidation OF the Maine Cen
trail and Portland & Kennebec railroads he has
put the question of removal of the State CAPT.
tai at rest and permanently secured to our peo-
pie the advaI tages resulting from that location
Had the Maine Central road remained discon-
nected with the P. & X. road it's interests
would have been greatly promoted by remov-
ing the seat of government to either Portland
or Bangor, SO as to secure the travel to and
from it over that road, and by uniting the pow
erful influence OF that corporation with that OF
either of the cities of Portland and Bangor
the removal would have BEEN very certain to
have been accomplished IN short time. Hap
averted by neutralizing the interests of the
Maine Central by consolidating with the Port
land & Kennebec, and We happen to know
that one OF the Leading objects OF Judge Rice
in consolidating the roads was the settleme mt
of this removal question.

A DoLEFUL LooK.-There is but one chance
for the Democracy-one means of escape from
the hopeless position in which we are placed
we must vindicate the party's reputation for
honesty. We ale drifting, we are driving head
long toward ruin and utter extinction. In two
months our party will have ceased TO exist un.
less something is done TO avert such fate. We
have lost California, where there was every
possibility of success; we have lost Maine
where there was little hope; we shall lose Ohiv,
OF course. and Pennsylvania aud New York.
IL seems thai we shall lose every State in the
Y nion-unless, perhaps, it be Delaware. Del
aware may stand alone to uphold our priDci-
pies and to sustain the party; but the rest of
the Union will ere long be arrayed against us,
unless an effort is made to get rid of the load
of disgrace which has been brought upon us
by the notorious swindles of the ring rulers OF
TammaDy Hall. 1t is useless to say the Re-
publcans are worse; it is in vain to point to
the iniquities of Southern Legislatures, or the
gross extravagances of the Washington gov
eminent. The answer is simple and conclu-
sive 10 the question, "Would you substitute
Boss Tweed and his style of rule?" We must
do more than talk; the case is not one for ar
gument-we must act.-Neoo York Democrat

HE New York Herald says, General Grant,
In his late reconnaissance of the oil region,
was received from point to point with popular
demonstrations of welcome, embracing pro-
cesslons, mass meetings, arches of flowers and
evergreens, fireworks, sereDades, &c, and was
cheered with the good will of peol lie WHO are
In earnest. From these significant mauiesta-
tlons of popular respect we think it may be
safely assumed that General Grant in Pennsyl
vania is good for another election by an undi-
minished majority

The Boston ADVERTISER says there is

Butler on the general principal of all politi-
appointments, which is that they owe their Sc

A CORRESPONDENT of the Commercial ADJ
peftaser predicts that the Republican nomi-
nees for President ard Vice President will be
Gen. Grant and Charles F. Adams and that
Gen, Hancock and John @ Adams will la

that is THAT the prophet seems to have been

IT is now asserted that Gen. Brice the Paw

Oh the retired list. As early as 1864, it was a

In the fall the difference between the temperature
