AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 1S.-Complete official
returns from the several congressional districts
Of this state have been received at the office of
the secretary Of state, and will be published in

first district, Burlcigh 2195; second district,

$3.50; fifth, Hall 3031. The aggregate OF these
congressional majorities is 1912, against 9G45
at the preceding congressional election in 1870,
Gov. Perham's majority falls about 1000 behind
the aggregate congressional majorites, owing
to the cider law and other local issues in the
first, second, third ard fifth congressional dis
tficts. There was not single scattering vote
thrown in the fourth. There were but three
scattering votes. This is unprecedented in
Maine elections.

HtcrIinE Town Fair.

Among the most Furnishing of the many town
agricultural associations is the Sterling farmers
club, and the day of the annual fair is looked for
ward to among the residents of the town, both past
and present, as a general holiday. For a Sterling
man not to be present at the fair is an indication
that he is either unwell or detained by unavoidable
circumstances. The annual fair of this society was
held yesterday, and in spite of the weather, which
in the early hours of the morning was most unfa-
vorable, there was large attendance and one Of the
best displays of stock that has ever been seen,
While the dinner was receiving attention tine rain
fell copiously but it soon proved to be only pass

warm, bright and pleasant.

were dairy cows of the Ayrshire breed from 4. NJ.

GREELEY AND BROWN FLAG RA1sING.-The
democrats of Washington square threw to the
breeze last evening a handsome Greeley and
Brown flag, from the block occupied by j. Foley
to pole at the corner of Summer and Front
streets. Though the fact that there was to be a
demonstration was not generally known about
town, an immense crowd of residents in the
eastern part of the city assembled in the square
to participate in the exercises. W. A. Williams,
Esq, presided, and addressed the meeting.
Speeches were also made by 7. Edward Murray
Esq, John Il. Thayer, Esq, and Major NJ. j..
McCafferty. The crowd was very enthusiastic,
and chcered the speakers and the flag in the
most uproarous manner After the speaking
was over, procession was formed, consisting
Of about three hundred men and boys, under
the escort Of the Father Mathew temperance
band, which had furnished music for the flag
raising. The procession, which lacked torches
Or uniforms, patiently followed the band about
through the muddy and unlighted streets, occu-
plying the time when the band was not playing
in giving enthusiastic cheers for Greeley and
Brown. On the whole the demonstration was
one of the most successful in point Of num-
bers and enthusiasm that has been seen in the
city during the campaign.

Wall Street TrickerY.
a Financial Disaster Avcrtcd by Relief
from the Trcasury-HeaVy DefnIcatiOn
i'm the Sub-Trcasury.

New YORK, Sept. 1S.-The situation in Wall
street this morning was alarming Germans
held on tenaciouSly to the Erie corner, and the
Smith-G0uld party were eager for another fray.
They had calculated the condition of the i'm
porting interests, ard found the squeeze in gold
brought down some of the heaviest importers
in the city. They estimated the resources of the
treasury department, and felt certain the secre-
tary could not come to the relief Of the street.
But there came an indication that the treasu-
ry department would not remain passive, at
noon, when offerings of bonds opened at the
treasury, and it was found that the amount was
S4,T53,S50 at 110.S7 1925. With more than
usual promptitude the announcement was made
that the secretary would take S3,000,000 instead
of 100000, as advertised. This was an indi-
cation that the secretary inten1s to be prepared
to sell more than the advertised amount of gold
tomorrow, and thus aid in breaking the corner
in gold coin.
The effect of these tactics is felt in the gold
exchange, where prices suddenly fell to 1881,
the lowest of the day. The rate for cash coin
dropped to 1-16 per day against per cent this
morning, aud gold operators breathed freely.
Nothing more than a running fight could be
Kept up in the money market this afternoon
the turn OF the day was so decidedly against the
lookup party. The price fell to per cent,
though the closing rate was 6 ~.
Treasury purchases of bonds were made all
the more serviceabc by payment being made in
legal tenders.
The high rates of money yesterday attracted
much capital to the street to-day, and this was
supplemented by fresh supplies OF gold and
consequently of currency. On the top of this
came relief from the treasury, and the result is
that great disaster is averted. 1t is reported
that corner will be made tomorrow in Union
Pacific, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indiana Cen
tral and Pacific Mail
The Commercial Advertiser states that the de.
iacatlon in the Sub-treasury amounts to over
SlOO,OOO, and that the delaulter is James /.
johnson, who had charge of the stamp depart
ment. johnson was originally from Albany
was appointed six or seven years ago by Sub
Treasurer Van Dyck, and has borne a
high character. He has been absent some
weeks and all efforts to discover his whereabouts
are unavailing. Johnson resided on Staten
Island, and has a wife ana large family. A
Washington special to the Post says an eXamin-
alton shows an apparent deficiency of between
100000 and Sl70,00 in JohnSon's accounts, but
whether this will prove an apparent or actual
deficiency cannot be ascertained until the exam
nation of books now in progress is completed.
