MAINE FARMERS IN COUNCIL.
Tt EsDAY-OCT. 8.


Yesterday the clouds overhung a eoinbre
landscape. Portending rain cast a gloom
over the face of nature and dampened the
feelings of men. The same cause that has
made most of our fairs partial failures,
may cause thin attendance at this semi an
nual session of the Board of Agriculture.
Skowhegan, the place chosen for this SEES
sion, is at the terminus OF the Portland &
Kennebec railroad, ON the Kennebec river.
1t was separated Feb. 8, 1928, from Canaan,
of which it was formerly part, and incor-
porated under the name of Milburn. This
name was changed to Skowhegan, its origi-
nal Indian name, and which signifies place
TO tratk, in 1886. 1t is thirty miles from Au-
gusta, five from NOrridgewock, and sixteen
from Burnham Juction.
Not many of the Board put in an appear
ance this morning. President Gilbert, Vice
President Sweet, Secretary Goodale, Per
ciyal of Maine State, Lucas of Somerset, Col
burn of Kennebec, HAYES Of Knox, Lang of
Waldo, Boardman at Large, composed the
advance guard The rain which began in the
night continues to pour out its treasures
aquoreous. This will keep many farmers in
doors, and at home, and tend to thin attend
ance.
The meetings of the Board will be held in
the Methodist Vestry, where ample accom-
modatons are found for one and all. A good
session Is devoutly TO be hoped for, and we
trust an unfavorable beginning may result In
good ending.
A business meeting was held this morning,
partly informal, but no matters of Importance
came up for action. Preliminaries were dis
posed of so far as circumstances made prac-
teal. No lectures or discussion were had
this forenoon. The spirit seems to be fervent
and the courage good of those members
present, and doubtless much of interest and
importance will transpire before the session
closes.

THE OUTRAGES IN GEORGIA.

When the history of the outrages per-
petrated in the State of Georgia, during
the recent election, is written, it will ex-
hibita series of outrages as startling as
those perpetrated in Kansas by the bor-
der-ruffians OF Missouri, and which bought
the blighting. whitening curse of the peo-

party. Not only were the negroes barred
from the polls by legislative enactments.
imposing upon them an exorbitant poll
tax, but by main force were they driven
from the ballot-box, their rights denied,
and the dearest privilege of free man
worthlessly taken from them. This dis
graceful exhibition gives us an inside view
OF the practical workings of the system of
local self governm ent," so much desired
by the Greeleytes, as opposed 10 the pres
ent system Of what they term "federal
Capitalization" Thus would it be

ment predominant in all the States.
Thank God. the recent elections show
that such calamity does not await us in
the near future. --- .
In referring to the recent election in
that State, the Savannah (Ga) Republi-
can, q Greeleyite organ, coolly charges a
seolored man. who was driven away from
the polls in that city, with "obstinacy"
and want of perseverance, because,
probably in fear of his life, he did not re
turnsto vote. 1t tells the story thus.
Avery came up to the box under super
vision Of these gentlemen to vote, and was
challenged for non-payment of poll-tax.
He replied that he was an owner of real
estate. and had paid his taxes, but had no
receipt. While the managers were pre-
pairing to administer the necessary oath

TIE GLORIOUS VICTORIES.

We, have carried Pennsylvania by a
majority which may possibly reach 3d.
600, and made gain in Congressman !;
Ohio il ours by majority ranging from
1000 to IL, 900; and we confidently ex-
.pect, although close State, that our tele-
graphic columns will show this morning
that Indiana shares in the republican
triumph. It may, however. be some days
before decisive returns are received.
Nebraska and the elections in the munich
palities of Connecticut and New Jersey,
although really republican victories that
wOnld furnish considerable enjoyment on
any ordinary occasion, are as drops in the
bucket in comparison with the sweeping
and decisive victories in the former States.
We might rejoice in being able to carry
them At any time. but to have these large
and important States wheel into line now,
keeping time to the music that has been
waited them from. the Pine Trees in
aAfaine, is substantial ground for the most
profound gratitude. PENNSYLVANIA is this
year most essentially the keystone" to
the republican arch, and shines grandly
in its place to-day. Ohio was the battle
ground selected beforehand for the mass
ing Of the sore-heads and disappointed
factions. and anxious eyes looked to that
State for large ''liberal" gains and an ex-
'hibition Of Greeley's strength. But. as in
Maine, it proved as unreal and shadowy
as spiders web--as brittle as rope Of
sand - y s .es'
And then again, these elections decide
beyond doubt the fact that the country
believes in the .'silent man." and is will
ing to trust4him in the Presidential chair
for the next four years. The last hope Of
Greeley and his followers has crumbled
to everlasting smash. According to the
showing Of their own party papers it was
absolutely necessary for the success OF
their national ticket that they should carry
two of the three States that have just pro-
nounced their emphatic verdict against
him. Doubtful indeed is it if Greeley
carries State north of Mason and Dixon's
line. 1t would be but poetic justice should
he derive his entire strength from those
States OF the South representing most
strongly the unrepentant rebel element.
Then let every patriot rejoice as he has
right to, and give three times three
lusty cheers and rousing tiger" for
the October States!

News From Washington.

Washington, 2. The letter of Earl Gran
vile was read at the Cabinet meeting to- day,
occupying nearly two hours of the session.
The particulars of the letter cannot be ascer-
tanned for the reason that the cabinet men,
bers decline to converse on the subject SEEM
ing to have general understanding that it
would be improper to furnish anything con-
corning it for publication, pending the CORES
pondence on the subject of the Alabama
claims and the differences of Interpretation of
the United States and Great Britain respec-
lively. 1t is known however, from reliable
source, that the letter is in the character of
an elaborate argument against the claim of
the United States for indirect damages. 1t is
firm yet friendly in tone, and expresses the
hope that both nations will be able to come
to an understanding which will eventually
carry out the treaty of Washington. Ac-
cording to what the British government be-
lieves is the true intent and meaning the let
ter is in accord with the recent utterances Of
the British press. The Secretary of State
will not reply to Earl Granville for some
days, as time is required for the considera-
ton of the points and arguments of this I'M
usually long diplomatic letter. From init
nations in high quarters the government will
adhere to its position submitting its entire
case, ''claims for indirect and consequential
damages" included, with willingness to abide
by the decision of those designated by the
treaty to effect an adjustment of the differ
ences between the two countries.

regard the proceeding as farcical. To-day

IN by twenty or thirty members was not
passed, but was referred to the judiciary

could the Senate put another on or could it
