YESTERDAY,S ELECTION.

Wo udge that Maine has given the Graht
ticket a majority of not quite sixteen thousand
In 1868, at the corresponding election, 1T gave
that ticket 2O,4O3 majority, on a full
vote of 13l ,265. All the Grant nominees Tor
Congress appear to be reelected speaker
Rlaine coming toleraby near his old majority,
and Chandlers son-in-law squeezing through
over Pike. Neal Dow is reported as CIV
ing effective aid to the Grant candidate
on Temperance grounds and in some quar-
ters it is quite evident that the voters
subordinated national to local considerations.
Five dollars have been spent by the
Grant managers for every one they
spent in 1868, and fifty for every
one spent by the Liberals. The
resources of a treasury filled by taxing every
civil official, at home and abroad, the infu-
ence of Post-Office Department whose head
took the field to command in person, the
power of a twenty-four hundred mile coast
dotted with Custom houses, the votes of the
Kittery Yard, and the resources OF
political organization well-nigh perfect, coupled
with a proscriptive pressure never equaled,
have thus fallen over 1000 short of the major
ity of four years ago.
Of the difficulties and discouragements under
which this result was attained we do not now
need to speak. The Cincinnati movement is
revolution, and revolutions do not begin in pop
ulations like that of Maine. 1t has been an alb
surd saying plagiarized from the old one about
the Keystone State, that as Maine goes, so
goes the Union. But the Union did not go as
Maine did in 1856, any more than in 1s48. In
fact, it has often been follower, not a
leader of political change;-a measure OF the
current, not a means of starting it. Let us
use it as a measure:
We may estimate the change on the vote of
Maine, wrought by the Liberal Republican
movement, at about five per cent. We may
be certain that in no other part of the Union
will the change be less i'm few so small.
Well, five per cent on the last Presiden-
tial vote shifts the States of Penn
sylvania, Indiana, Connecticut, California,
and Alabama, from thelGrant column to its op-
posite. Add these to the States already Demo-
cratic, and we have 155 out of the 1874 Elec-
toral votes necessary to a choice. But Missouri
is clearly ours, and her fifteen votes
leave but fourteen more to make up, after the
Grant rout in October, out of New-Hampshire,
Rhode Island, Arkansas, North Carolina, Ohio,
Illinois, and Others scarcely less probable yours.
The lesson, then, of the Maine election is
plain 1t reveals a percentage of change,
which, with proper organization and work,
gives us Pennsylvania and Indiana in October.
After these, the battle wins itself

cpFDJT MOBILIER or AMERICA.

"The Union Pacific Railroad Company,
chartered by Congress, constructed and owns
the eastern division of the line of railway
reaching from Omaha to San Francisco. The
"Union Pacific" portion is the larger, reaching
from Omaha to Ogden, near Salt Lake City.
The other end belongs to the Central Pacific
Company.
Each of these corporations was literally
subsidized by Congress. 1t was first granted
the right of way through the Public Lands,
with authority to take timber, stone and other
materials from any portion of these lands free
of charge. 1t was next loaned the bonds of
the United States at the rate of $4,000,
sS2,O 900, and $4,000 per mile, according as the
work was presumed to be more or less diff
cult; and it was further subsidized by a
liberal grant of Public Lands.
The payment of the bonds advanced or
loaned to each Company by the United States
was originally secured by first mortgage on
the respective roads and their appurtenances;
but Congress was at length induced to allow
the Companies to issue bonds of their own of
equal amounts with those loaned by the
United States and these Company bonds were
allowed to constitute first mortgage, taking
precedence of those loaned by the United
States. Since then. the Companies pay
promptly the interest on their own bonds, but
refuse or neglect to pay that interest falling
due on the bonds of the United States, which
in consequence has to be paid out of the u.
$. Treasury. The Companies do not even pay
so much Of that interest as they earn by con-
New-York tribune., 1872-09-10

veyisg mails, army supplies, &C., for the
Government. They allow half of that to
apply ON the interest; the other half the Gov
ernment has to pay them regularly. Mr.. Bout
well demurred to this, but Congress sustained
the Companies, and he pays accordingly.
The construction of the Union (not the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad was mainly, II not Wholly
effected through contracts with an mside

There has been quarrel among certain OF
those stockholders relative to dividend OF

examined, and has made statements on oath
seriously impeaching the integrity of certain
leading members and late members OF Congress
therein named. He swears that the Hon.
Oakes Ames of Massachusetts,, who was at
once Representative in Congress, Chairman OF
the House Committee on Railroads, President
of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, ana
a master spirit of "The Credit Mobiler ol
America showed him a list OF persons " "
whom he had assigned 1000 to 5000 shares Oh

and letters apparently written by MN are
given which indicate that these shares were 81

This is no partisan Roorback, got up 10 m-

Industrial affairs in Berlin must be in an
unsatisfactory state if we may judge from the
disorders that have recently occurred there.
Repeatedly of late, in cases of eviction for
unpaid rent, the mob has taken the part of
the tenant with such turbulent demonstrations
as to require a charge on it by the police.
To-day we publish the announcement by cable
that a body of riOtOus persons, enraged at an
advance in the price of beer, attacked and
completely wrecked brewery. The rioters
had so little confidence in the new era OF
peace that they committed this act of violence
during the grand military parade in honor OF
the meeting of the three EmperOrs.

II il possibe that our readers may not hnd
this veracious history so cheerful as 1t seems
to the cynical Montevideans. 1t Is true they
look upon it from point OF view dinereht
from ours. They do not care what becomes
of our dignity or self-respect. IL Is nothlhg

water-carriers would not do They see moth

enjoy the story more than we can. Yet even
for us the tale has certain gracious
ness. 1t is very rounded and dramatic. But
that nothing may be lacking to the complete
ness of the story, we hope he may turn out
to be somebody's brother-in-law.

The Blanten-Duncan Convention have Just
learned what a narrow escape they had they
came near nominating a Greeley man for
President. Mr.. j. X. Edgerton, whose nOmi-
natien was greatly desired by those who
thought such a selection might injure Hen
dricks's chances in Indiana, says that he has,
from the first, believed the support of the
fincinnati nominees the duty Of every pat
riotic citizen. What dreadful thing it would
have been if the Administration, which have

Chicago lie afflicted with sudden outburst

committed within the space of few weeks,
and from some cause the culprits are yet at

seems unchecked, and, as last resort, the
citizens have agreed largely that Vigilance
Committee can alone correct this dangerous
state of things. The occasion is an alarming
one, but the proposed remedy is extreme, and
should, if possible, be avoided.

to-day in regard to the amount of damage 70
be paid to the United States under the decision
of the Geneva Tribunal, though all accounts
agree that the decision will be against Great
Britain. However, any one who is inclined 10
exult in the prospect of the latter's being
obliged to pay to us a large sum of money Will
be disappointed in reading the intelligence
which we receive from Washington, to the
effect that this sum will be greatly diminished
by the awards in favor of British claimants
which will be made by the Mixed IClaims
Commission.
