The Maine Election.

The result of the great contest in
Maine is bv no means commensurate
with the efforts put forth by the Ad-
ministration to compel seeming en-
dorsement of its candidates andius policy.
The locust-swarms of oflice.h oldrrs that
have been sent ont over the Pine Tree
State, the floods Of money, wrung by
forcible contribution from placc.hod"rs,
aud all the engincry Of intimidation
and corruption have been so powerful
that only such sweeping victory as
would put all previous majorl'les in
the shade can be accepted as II success
This has not been secured but, on the
contrarv, the Administration comes out
Of the contest with majority whitfield
down in ratio which, if continued
throughout the Union, will surely elect
the Liberal ticket in November. The
majority of last year, when the total
vote was nearly fifty per cent, less than
that polled yesterday, of course affords
no basis of comparison. That of 1868,
which gave the Administration caud.-
date over 10000 majority, offers the
only test and, compared with that, the
majority of yesterday shows great
talIlne-oR. When it is remembered that
reduction Of less than six per cent,
from the majority of 1868 throughout
the country will defeat Grant the sig

parent.
Nor is it alone in the total majority
for Governor that this falling off OF the
Grant vote is seen. The Administration

but the rousing, healthy majo'ities with

its effect in the Fifth District, and Is eak'

the poverty Of their victory. 1t is tho
vote of 1868 with which comparison
must be made, since then alone was al
equally full poll of the Sta'e made. Thu
returns Of last evening are sufficient,
complete to show that considerable in

majority of 1868, which is in itself I

"A Man is Known by the Com
pany he Keeps"

1t Is an old ana true adaSe, IlaC
man is known by the company he
keeps" Judging President Grant from
this standard, what shall be our con
illusions as to him? We find that such
men as Ben Butler, Tom Murphy,
Simon Cameron, Stocking, Leet, Ca
sey & c, mpauy are his boon com
panions.
They are his most intimate associates
bis advises, as it would seem, when
political matters are upon the carpet.
All know what Ben Butler is. The
''spoons" of our dwellings are kept out
Of his reach.
Tom Murphy is probably as corrupt
as "Old Ben: but, as he gave some
thing handsome towards Grants Long
Branch cottage, he is in high favor
with the President.
Simon Cameron Of Pennsylvania, IL
Senator from that State, No doubt
he has swindled the Government Of the
United States out of millions Of dollarS,
while Secretary Of war, during the re-
bcllion. 50 outrageous was his rascallty
that President Lincoln himself was
astounded, and he virtually kicked
HIM out of office. Armed and fortified
by the large sum oS money which be
had by shook and by crook" swindled
out of TIE Government whilst Sc rotary
of War, he actually purchatrd his cleo
ton as Senator in the United States
Senate, subsequent investigation most
indisputably disclosed. Yet; his great
amount of W -al,h, his keen adroitness,
audacity cunning and shrewd manage
ment were tho much for the honest
voemanry of the old keystone Sta'e.
On the removal of Chas Sumner
from the craftsmanship OF the com
mittee OF Fo eign Relations, a position
he had held with honor AMI credit for
twelve yeors, this corrupt Simon Cam
eron, at The earnest req lest and soil

Charles Summers place. The alabama

fitness for the position. In the present

Hair Vigor,
For restoring to Gray Hair its
natural Vitality and Color.

gloss anil freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, Or the glands atrophied and
dccayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of foulng the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray OR falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandrutf, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
dcleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
