PIsCATAoUrs ENLARGED.-We have received
a Photographic view of the proposed enlarge
ment of Piscataquis county issued by those
who are earnestly in favor of making the
change, showing the towns that will be alb
sorbed from Somerset and Penobscot and defin-
ing the boundries of the reconstructed county.
The statistics show that Piscataquis county
has population of 1889, and eight towns
from Penobscot county, viz: Dexter, Garland,
Charleston, Exeter, Corinna, Stetson, Newport
and Plymouth, with population of II, 74O; also
add six towns from Somerset county, viz: Har-
mony, Cambridge, Ripley, ST. Adams, Palmy-
IA and Detroit with population of 5,721, Civ
ing Piscataqus county a population of 81, $50;
leaving Penobscot county with population of
$1,000, and Somerset county with a population
of over $4,000. The matter will of course come
before the Legislature, when warm time is
anticipated.

NORTH CAROLINA SENATORIAL CONTEST =
The senatorial contest in the North Carolina
legislature is expected to continue for several
days, as the friends of the rival Democratic
candidates are known to be earnest and likely
to be persistent for their favorites. Republ-
cans from Raleigh within day or two,say that
the chances of POOLS reelection through the
division of the Democrats are about even,
while it is conceded by both parties that the
Republicans, if they fail of success, will at
least be able to dictate to the Democrats whom
they shall elect. Vance, Graham and Merri-
mon are the most prominent out of half doz-
en- candidates, with the chances that the Re-
publicans will favor the latter, who is a former
law partnerof the new solcitor-general, Phil
Ups. Vance is altogether out of favor with
tne Republicans, on account of his recent ex-
IRENE ana proscriptive course, and is least like
ly OF the contestants to succeed.

LEWISTON & AUBURN RAILRoAD.-We are
informed that within the past few days the en-
gineers have been making some changes in the
route of the proposed L. & A. R. r., with
view of saving cost in its construction The
route has not been materially changed but
slight notifications have been made from the
the Maine Central r. R-the track being
thrown nearer the river. A slight change has
also been made in the position of the track,
near Auburn Foundry. 1t is estimated that
these changes will save from $4,000 to $50, 900
on the cost of constructing the road. The ques-
tions of land damages have been adjudicated
by the Coupty Commissioners, who will make
their report next week. Meantime, proposals
for bids for constructing the road will be issued
within few days. 1t is decided to locate the
Lewiston depot on Lincoln street. west side,
about 600 feet from the first Cross Canal Lands
have already been purchased of private parties
for the purpose. New streets will be located
on both sides of the station. There is now eve
ry prospect that the building of the road will
be speedily entered upon.-Leaeiston Journal

The Temper Of the south.

How does the South take the cleo
ton? is question frequently askcd.and
which the Southern papers have, with
more or less reserve, undertaken in =
number Of instances to answer. On the
whole, answers are in the highest de-
gree encouraging. Without going in.
to detail, or quoting at length from
our exchanges, it may fairly be said
that the following conclusions are gener-
ally accepted:
/. The election is acknowledged by
most Of even the bitterest opponents Of
Republicanism 10 be an irreversible
judgment against the extreme Southern
view Of reconstruction. 1t is accepted
as a declaration that no issue On which
parties divide in such way that the
sympathizers Of rebellion are on one
side, can ever be made again in this
country, with any hope that the major.
ity will not be overwhelmingly against
those sympathizers.
=. 1t is accepted as, on the whole a
good.tempcrcd act on the part tf the
North, aud not as an act Of bitterness o,
hostility. Indeed, VIC doubt if any con-
siderable number Of persons were ever
de;uded by the theory 50 commonly I'D.
va"ced by Liberal" Republicans tina,
t" refuse to restore the Democracy tc
power was an unfriendly act to the
South.
:. The conclusion il lnlost univer
oil that the result Of the election secures
an opportunity tor the South to quiet
ly but encrgetically de:ote itself t. its
material interests, and imposes the duty
Of doing 50 without delay, u"disturbet
by any plans or hopes connected with
a,ional politics.
4. 1t is generally felt that the larg.
proportion Of Southern men, heretof -
opposed to tho Republican party, who
have taken up the cause Of Gen. Grant
is strong guarantee thai: every honcst
effort to make tie state governments
pure and efficient will be helped, as fl,
as possible, ut Washington.
On the whole, it may be REASONABLE,
