Progress of the Canvass In Maine,

NEW YORK, August 10. - Dispatches
from Maine say that there is very active
canvassing going on, on both sides
Throughout the State. Senator Doolittle is
working very hard in hehalf of the Greeley
ticket. Governor Noyes of Ohio has serv-
Senator Wilson is also shortly expected
there.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 10.-The Liberal
Convention nominated n full State ticket.
1t is now believed the Pinchbackers will
fuse with the custom house.
WASHINGTON, Aug, 9.-Senator Sumner
was serenaded at his house on Lafayette
Square by colored people. There was an
immense audience and unbounded enthu-
siasm. The Senator talked altogether to
the colored people, and said he never
thought of them except az his friends,
among whom he had lived more than
twenty years. During that period great
changes have taken place.
Changes have taken place, affecting
their interests. Then they were slaves
now they are citizens, with all the rights
enjoyed by their ncighbors then they
were degraded and deprived of the privi-
leges of schools, the ballot box and street
cars-now they are all open to them, never
to bc closed. Revolutions never. so back
ward and they are secure forevermore in
the rights they now enjoy. These rights
all political parties now concede and ac
knowledge, and have placed them in theil
platforms and it can not be doubted that
ere long n law will be passed fully re-
deeming these pledges.
He advised them never to cast a vote fol
man who is not true to them, to let tho
allegiance of the political candidates t.
them by the reason of their support at the
polls. He closed by assuring the coloreC
! people that he would ever be their tru,
| friend, and would never be pushed, tempt
cd or bought from that position, and from
their support.

1.-THE TIDAL WAVE ROLLS ON
Republicans Elect Governor by LOCO
Majority.
A Gain of One Congressman and Perhaps o

TIE TINE FOR REPUBLICAN GUNS!
How Democratic Frauds we're Com
Bitted.
Special 20 Chronicle. !

WASHINGTON, Aug. :.
Several dispatches have been received
here to-day from North Carolina, coming
from different sources and all concur in
stating that the Republican State ticket is
positively elected. The majority is vari-
ously stated from nine hundred to two
thousand. The Conservatives are not will
ling to give up the State. a few counties
are not heard from and both sides wait till
the returns are received from them before
accepting any conclusion. There is little
doubt that Caldwell is elected. There is
information here that the Liberal scheme
of FASTING votes defraudcd him of some
hundreds or thousands Of votes, for the pa
pers were prepared in the North and had
the backs newly gummed.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, p. NJ.
The latest news has been received from
North Carolina. The last doubt is re-
moved. The Republican State ticket is
elected by at least 1000 majority. Three
Republican Congressman are elected and
| the Legislature is also nearly redeemed
and may be quite. This statement is based
on official returns so far convincing that
the Democrats give up and begin to raise
the cry of fraud, and threaten to contest
1t is now in order to fire Republican guns
RALEIGH, August Z, s p. M.-The of
| fetal and positive returns are pretty wei
in, all the western counties having beer
heard from except Ashe and Yancey
Caldwell is elected by about one Thousand
majority. The increased vote will amount
to seven or eight hundred or one thousand
The Democrats claim that there has beer
great frauds and it is thought the matter
will be contested.
WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-The Republi
cans fired one hundred guns to-day over
the decided victory of North Carolina.

THOSE NORTH CAROLINA FRAUDS.

To break the force of their defeat in
North Carolina the Democrats are raising
a fearful howl over frauds.
Now as the New York World very prop
erly says this is poor way to account
for defeat.n The honest truth is that the
frauds committed were in favor of the
Democrats and not against them. For
what purpose were Blumenberg and Wood,
notorious scoundrels, sent from New York
to North Carolina? One of these fellows
served a term in the New York
Penitentiary. Both were men of
VIGOROUSLY bad character. 1t has
been proved that they took with them,
from New York little narrow slips of pa
per with the names of Merrimon and
other candidates printed on them, and
with the backs gumped so that by moist
ening them they conld be pasted over the
names on the Republican ticket. The
sharpers with their gummed slips, wher-
ever they could would get hold of voters
ticket on the pretence of looking at it
paste Merrimon's name on the ticket and
so hand it back as not to attract the voters
attention. 1t is known that thousands of
votes were made for the Democracy in this
way. A telegram to the Greeley New
York headquarters from Raleigh says "In
Rutherford, Polk, and Henderson Where
Wood 1CeRt 6y requests did splendidy."
Now for what purpose were eX-convicts
and notorious scoundrels sent to North
Carolina if not for frauds? The New
York Times exposed the character of these
fellows as soon as they reached Raleigh,
There is no doubt about their VIGOROUSLY
bad character, and yet we find Barringer,
Vance and the Democratic managers of
North Carolina cordially receiving them
and fraternizing with them! a nice pack
of fellows to cry about frauds. The peo-
pie will agree with the World, in saying
it IS poor way TO excuse defeat. The Re-
publicans gained near Seven thousand votes
since 1870, and the cry of frauds won't
lessen the splendid triumph.

University grounds invested all he had,
and he and his family almost starved be-
fore he got work here.
Mr.. Fisher, an employee on the Custom
House, is another. Al these men haze
lost their money, time and labor, and they
will tell you just what 1 have-that they
blame Mr.. Greeley for getting them into it,
and then for refusing to do anything at all
to help them out. Every one OF the hun
dred men, women, and children who came
from the North and lost in the swindle
went into it because of the confidence they
had in Mr.. Greeley.
Mr.. May is now in this city without en-
ployment. He certainly makes out strong
case against Mr.. Greeley and very freeley
says if he ever gets back to New York he
intends going to see Honest Horace and
tell him what he thinks about him. Mr..
May can not reconcile Greeley's failure to
write to the colonists or his failure to in
vestigate into the matter in their behalf,
with honesty and good faith.
The Warm Springs property has been
sold and bought back for fifteen thousand
dollars. 1t was valuedat serenity thousand,
and Mr.. May says the officers claimed TO
have paid t1Centy-t,cO thousand on it, All
this has been lost besides all the improve
ment made upon their lots by the honest,
hard working men.
Mr.. May and his colonists would like to
have "Honest Horace explain TO the sa-
tisfaction of the poor colonists now scat
tered over the South begging for work, his
| connection with the great swindle.

THE unexpected result in North Carroll
Maturing over to the Republicans by q
majority Of near two thousanda State that
at the last party election went Democratic
by near five thousand-has served to put
the Greeley organs TO more serious work
than brag. 1t draws from the New York
World the suggestion that " the friends Of
1.-The Democratic Presidential candidate
" must not delude themselves with the no.
" ton that they can elect him by mere en-
"thusiasm without effort" The Herald
says: ut has been made manifest III the
" North Carolina election that neither the
" record Of Greeley as friend of the black
Imam nor the appeals of Sumner and
Schurz nor the arguments Of Trumbull
"and Mcclure have made any impression
l." upon the colored vote Of the South in IA
"vOr Of Greeley as Presidential candi-
" date against Grant"
This is the drift of the editorials in the
Greeley papers. The first gun of the cam
paign has awakened them to the fact that
the aground swell" has not been found,
and that their boosted prospects Of sweep
ing the country grow beautifully small.

Some More About North Carolina.

A correspondent writing about North
Carolina tells this good story at the ex-
pense of a Virginian
A lank, rusty, notwithstanding 'Tarheep
was described by spruce Virginia caval-
ryman what time he and various other idle
soldiers, being congregated at a railway
station, were waiting, like the renowned
w. Micawber, Esq, for something to turn
up. With the intention of getting Off q
joke at the expense of the newcomer, he
Immediately called out: Hello, Goober
HOw's tar selling down in the old Nawth
State? p The Cooker seemed TO give the
proposition his calm and impartial atten-
ton for few moments, and then, with
the candid and confiding manner of anoth-
er Truthful James, observed: WAL yer
see, JEFF Davis done bought all the tar
down thar. He's a-goin' to make them
'ere dern' Virginians put it on ther feet,
fer to keep 'em from runnin' away in a
fight Something had turned up; so the
crowd howled with delight, and the would
be funny man concluded to talk walk.

GREELEY abused Andy Johnson as vio-
lently as he possiblyceuld. He called him
all sorts of hard names, and yet Andy sup
ports him. He eats the crow, but doesn't
banker after it, He abused Grant yester-
day, but, then, Grant can stand it. He can
take Andy's abuse much better than the
latter can Greeley's. 1t is sad tosee Andy
