Lester from u Candidate for the Pr'


Lester from u Candidate for the Pre-
ssdency ut the Louisville COnyen-
ts0n.
Joseph Il. Edgcrton, of Indiana, the gen.
tleman whom Grants managers were anxious
to have nominated by the Louisville side
show, with the hope of thus defeating the
Libelnl ticket in Indiana, has written a letter
which shows little sympathy with the Bour-
bon impracticablcs. After expressing his
earnest desire for reconciliation and his
earnest devotion to Democratic principles lie
declares his belief that Grant is Il man with
out moral or intellectual elevation, and with
out true dignity; tool, and not leader, of
his purity, and incapable of rising to any
more lust or high conception of his office
than that be is the Government In con-
clllSon he says:
Personally, and as Il Democrat. would
prefer other men To Greeley and Brown for
President and Nicc-prcsident. Most Demo
Gratis could have chosen other men from
among the candidates before the Cincinnati
Convention who would have suited them
better. But the people did not
select them. No spontaneous and united
voice of the party or THE people called for
them. The Cincinnati Convention, led by
the highest intelligence aud ability of the
Republican party, did not choose them. The
Baltimore Convention, the recognized repre-
sentative of the Democratic party as Il M
ional organization, did not choose them.
What, then, shall do? Shall |, from mere
pride OF opinion, or because of personal pre-
ference, or from any baSer motive, fail TO CO.
operate with the great MISS of men of my
own party and principles to secure peace and
good government to my country? Shall |
vote for Grant, or fail to vote for Greeley,
and thus give strength and success to a purity
and to men who, Us / honestly believe, will
not give the country peace and good govern
mcnt? For one, as Il citizen and 4 Demo-
crat, faithful TO the principles of the party, rs
[ understand them, have from the first an
nouncencut of the Cincinnati nomination
aud platform believed it to be wise and pa
triotic for the Democratic party to support
Greeley and Brown.
Factions are not party, nor are parties prln-
cpleS; aud if l were less OF Democrat
than am, would not hope to maintain the
bulwRrks Of Democracy by yielding support
to the malcontents of the Louisville Con-
yention, who do not, Us believe, represent
either the Democratic party or its principles,
but are, possibly without design, aiding to
subyert both. Itwould require more than the
great professional reputation Of Mr.. Charles
OConor, or the family name of Mr.. John
Quincy Adams, even if those two gentlemen
had accepted the dubious honor of your
nomination, to redeem your convention from
the contempt due to great failure in all
that can dignity political movement, except
possible power Of doing harm to the cause
it protested to honor and aid.
Respectfully, yours,
JOSEPH Il. ED6EgToN."

TIE CHEESE MARKETs.--The activity in the
cheese markets of the United States and
England has been attracting attention..
Never before have such generally satisfactory
and rcmuncrativc prices been paid us during
this season. Both the make and the export
Of cheese have been very large, and the con-
sumption has been very great. In England
particularly the prices paid have ruled from
two to three cents pound higher than last
wear, and the high rates have thus agreeahly
disappointed the hopes Of the most sangunc.
The cause of the increased consumption IL
attributed to the improved condition of the
working classes of Great Britain. who arc
now receiving advanced wages, and are there
fore enabled to live on good food. and even
to obtain lulxliricS. The working people of
England, however, do not consider cheese
as Il luxury, but as one of the great neccS>a-
RIGS of life, and bread and cheese constitute
the staple fare of the mechanics and farming
laborers.

.THE MAINE ELE GTIo d.
WHEAT THElGRANT PARTY HAVE LOST LOST :.
FIIE RIGHTs VOTE To COMPARE BY-- 'IE
RESULT on THIS GIANT LOSS is GEN

The returns sent from Maine by the Asso-
ciated Press convey false. impression by
misleading comparison with the figures OF last
year. Everybody knows that it is only IN Tue
Presidential wears that full vote IS brought
ont in the State election in Maine. Inc correcl
basis Of comparison is evidently the returns
of the State election of 1868, when General
Grants supporters carried Maine ev up
wards of 10000 majority. Their majority
Yesterday will not exceed 14,00O--a loss Oh
COCO, or 30 per cent. Their loss would nave
been far greater If the election had been post
poncd two months, or if the Federal Ad'h'ni'-
tration had been in hands hostile TO "l''ii', a.
It was in 1868. The New YORK ho''1 u

s,ou, serarafe consideration upon the vote IN
tho three largest towns. Nobody needs be
told that intelligence circulates more rapidly
in cities than IN small rural townships and
il is accordingly in the cities that the earliest
changes take place in public opinion when
new Influences are at work. The changes IN
cities will be followed by corresponding
changes in the rural districts when time
enoug III has elapsed for the rural population
to become as well informed rs the city popll-
lation is at an earlier date. If our gains
throughout the State Of Maine bad been III
proportion to the gains in the three largest
towns, the Republican majority of 1000 IN
1868 would have been reduced to 1900 IN
1872. We insert the Republican malorltleS

TERRESTRIAL MAGNErIsM.-The old MOTOR
that the earth had within itself strong mag
nets which attracted the needle of the COM
pass has long since given way TO the theory
that there arc electric currents running east
and west near It's surface to which the COM
pass-needle places itself, as il does to all cleo
trio currentS-viZ, at right angles, according
TO the law discovered by Ocrstcd i'm 1929.
On this theory the declination of the needle
from the geographical north is explained by
east and west, 50 that the geographical and
magnetic meridianS never coincide, but the
variations are continually changing. In Maine
the declination of the needle is now Somc
90 degrees west, while in California it is 20
degrees east, and in Newfoundland 40 de-
grees west, while in Alaska it is 40 east. As
said above, these variations are constantly
changing.
Coin. back for three centuries, we find the
magnetic pole constantly shifting, and the
movement is regularly from east to west. In
1000 the decIinatiop in the west of Europe
was from to 10 degrees east; then it began
moving westward, till in 1920 it was some
"a degrees west; and so following it from
year to year that there seems to be regular
motion Of the magnetic around the geo.
graphical pole, which il is estimated it will
take six hundred years to complete. And
for safety in navigation these variations or
destinations Of the needle have always to be
allowed for by the vessel on the deep. And
whether this continual variation comes from
the influence of the heavenly bodies affecting
the earths polarity, or from the upheaval of
continents and islands and the constant
changes going on in the earth's crust, the
fact OF the variation and its bearing on the
interests OF commerce are the same.
Two facts are worthy of notice One, that
The aurora borealis always seems to proceed
from the magnetic, not from the geographic,
pole as It's centre; and the other, that the
magnetic pole seems to coincide with the.
point of the greatest cold, sothat the isother-.
nal lines, il drawn cut on the globe, show
