whatever credit for the more active movement IN

officials to the population than Maine has
The Custom House and its corrupting in

foreign, and this, Irish, German, and all
from the North of Europe, are for Gree
ley. They are prosperous, selt-respecting

liberal in their ideas, and heartily despise
the narrow and puritanic ideas OF New
England radicalism, with its notions that
man shall not kiss his wife on Sunday,

population understands the issues involy-

Why is it Because a large army of

Mr.. Sumner Gone Abroad.

Hon. Charles Sumner, who hoped to be
able to take part personally in the Presi-
dental canvass, has been obliged to go to
Europe for the benefit of his health. His
leaving was unexpected to all but few
intimate friends. He had prepared speech
in support of Mr.. Greeley. which he hop
ed to deliver in Faneuil Hall, but finding
himself unable to do so, it has been print
ed. 1t occupied seven or eight columns
Of fine type. adding new strength to the
argument before advanced, and concludes
as follows -
Reconstruction is now complete. Every State
is represented in the Senate. and every district
is represented in the House of Representatives
Every Senator and every Representative is in
MS place. There are no vacant seats in either
chamber, and among the members are fellow
citizens OF the African race. And amnesty near
" universal has been adopted. In this condition
OF things | find new reason for change. The
present incumbent knows little of our frame of
government. BY military education and militia
ry genius he represents the idea of force; nor
is he any exception to the rule OF his profession
which appreciates only slightly government
that is not arbitrary. The time for the soldier
HIS passed.. especially wien MS renewed power
would ONCE more remind fellOw-citiZensof their
defeat. Victory over fellow citizens should be
known only in the rights it assures; nor should
it be Haunted in the face of the vanquished 1t
should not be inscribed on regimental colors
or portrayed in pictures at the National Capital
But the present incumbent is a regimental color
with the forbidden inscription; he is a picture
at the National Capital recalling victories over
felloW-ciizens. 1t is doubtful if such presence
can promote true reconciliation. Friendship
does not grow where former differences are
thrust in sight. There are wounds Of the mind
as of the body; these too must be healed In
stead of irritation and PRESSURE let there be gem
teness and generosity. Men in this world get
only what they give-preudlce for prejudice:
luminosity for animosity; hate for hate Like
wise confidence is returned for confidence;
goodwill is returned for goodwill; friendship
is returned Tor friendship. On this rule. which
is the same for the nation as for the individual,
| would now act So will the Republic be ele-
waited to new heights of moral grandeur, and
our people will manifest that virtue ''gre Attest
of all'' which is found in charity. Above the
conquest of others will be the conquest of our
selves. Nor will any tellow-citiZen suffer in
rights; but all will find new safeguard in tn e
comprehensive fellowship.

he Result.

We have elsewhere given the figures Of
the vote for Governor in this state, with
some comments thereon. The Legislature
is very largely republican, all the Senate
and more than three fOurths of the House
being of that troublesome persuasion
The republican candidates to Congress are
all elected. Burleigh is the first by 2000
Frye by over 5000; Blaine by about 5000
Hersey by the same; and Hale by 200o F.;
These figures are like Mercutio's wound,
mot so deep as a well nor so wide as a
church door, but It's enough"
We didn't sit up late on election night
for returns, and so failed to receive our
usual dispatches from Knox County
But we have a strong suspicion that it
has backslidden from former years, and
is now radical by several hundred. Uncle
Moses, on Vinalhaven, appears to have
floated Notwithstanding the block of
granite we figuratively slung to his neck

he Nathan Murder,

FORESTER, the supposed murderer of
old Mr.. Nathan, has been arrested in
Washington and brought to New York
Whether guilty of that particular crime
criminal. He protests his innocence and
all knowledge of the Nathan murder. A
New York paper gives the following
sketch of him =
Forester, the suspected murderer of
Benz Nathan, was born in Scotland in
1885, and at an early age removed with
his parents, hard working, honest people,
to this country, landing in New York.
He was little wild in his younger DAYS,
but was always regarded as an honest lad
until the year 1855, when he was pressed
into service upon a sailing vessel bound
for California. Duri:.g the voyage he
was handled very roughly by the captain
and other officers of the vessel, and upon
the ships arrival he deserted her. Penni-
less, he was like many another honest
young fellow. led into mischief of one
kind and another till he gradually bloomed
forth as a il-blown thief-one who would
do almost anything for the sake of money.
He staid out there for three or four wears.
until he became well known and regarded
rs very dangerous character from his
skill and smartness Just before the be-
ginning of the war he lett California and
came East, landing in New York. where
| he soon became well known, and from
here visited most of the Southern and
Eastern cities. A few months since a
number of his friends. were confined in
one OF the stoutest ails in New York
State. The crime which they were in for
was certain to give each long sentence,
and their friends used every endeavor to
get them out without avail, until Forester
took matters in hand. One dark night he
went to the Jail, and, climbing over a
twelve-foot outer wall, got to the outside
door, and picking the lock of it with a
tool used for that purpose he passed into
| another room where he found the turnkey
living on a cot asleep. Going up to him
Forrest very adroitly distracted the KEYS
from his belt, and proceeding directly to
the cells unlocked the doors and liberated
his friends, three in number all making
their escape without being seen. After
getting his friends out Forester locked
the cell doors, and going back to where
the jailer was lying, very coolly replaced
the keys in his belt, and, going out through
the same door, locked it with the same
instrument with which he had effected an
entrance.

A Posi- OFFICE THIEF CAUGHT. With
in the past three months numerous com
plants have been entered at the post-otflce
by persons whose mails have been lost
The missing mail. matter consisted entire
ly OF letters. and those containing money
were taken. The case was taken in hand
by Special Post office Agent Charles Field
The frs. point of note gained IN the case
was the fact that all missing mail COM
planned of was that of publishers The
light, Of course, reflected directly, and the
unfortunate person illuminated was Will
liam A. Peabody. his position being dis
tributing clerk for Boston publishers This
state of the case was arrived at by Mr..
Field perhaps three weeks ago Directly
a spy was placed on the movements of
Peabody, but for some time nothing was
revealed, aud the case began assuming to
the special agent, "a very dry aspect. The
vigilance -. it'll which he Mr.. Fieldl had
entered into the case was not in the least
relaxed on this account, and it in owing to
the very adrOit manner in which Pea body
practised his game that detection, did not
follow Immediately. He was closely watch
ed while distributing the mails, and his
process admitted ONO criticism whatever,
hence the unpromising aspect of the in
vestigation. In place of relaxing in the
work of detecting the culprit at this juno
ture, closer vigilance was kept 1t was
decided by Mr.. Field to keep Peabody
under close watch during his hours off
duty, which was accordingly done. Yes
terday morning at nine O'clock, while on
duty as usual, the spy detected Peabody
approach the mail boxes OF several pub
fishers, and extract letters to the amount
of eleven, which he placed in his pocket
and departed. This was what the spy
had been so long and anxiously looking
for, and he lost no time in communicating
with Mr. Field, who secured Peabody's ar
rest at once, having him placed in Station
2. On Peabody's person were found the
letters he was seen to purloin, which will
be examined in the presence Of those to
whom they belong, tomorrow morning
at nine O'Clock, when the prisoner will be
brought before Commissioner Hallett for
examination. Peabody contesses that he
has been engaged in purloining letters
since the first of June last, and admits
having realized about $3.50 in cash from
his operations. 1t is thought probable,
however, that $500 W ould be nearer the
true amount. Boston Advertiser.

CORES pondent in Lincoln County re-
lates an instance in which the town officers
outwitted them selves. A young man
whose right to vote was ques toned, was
interviewed by one of the chief fuglers
among the radicals. and asked how he
should vote. Being very sharp, the young
man-which his name is Smith-told the
interviewer that he would vote right OF
course all objections to putting bis name
on the list vanished. 1t was a refreshing
sight on election day to behold the patriotic
Smith approaching the sacred ballot-box,
holding out before him the emblem of
purity and temperance bearing the name
of Sidney Perham. The smiles of the
radical officials and town fathers was like
the rejoicing over the just man made per-
feet. The box was uncovered and rendered
with a bow, when to the dismay of the
crowd the young man by the name of
Smith threw away the vote he had, and
drawing a straight Democratic ticket from
his pocket, unfolded and put it in the
box! 1t is said that General j. has de-
cided disgust to everybody bearing the
name of Smith.

THE VERY STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC
NATIONAL CONVENTION.

1t is Lost in the Gulf of Lyons.
The Convention of the Democrats who
are so very straight that they lean the
other way, was held at Louisville last
week. 1t was really a side-show to the
Grant organization, and was designed to
help on the great American gft-taker.
The bills were undoubtedly paid by the
friends of the administration, who en-
deavored in every way to help on the
show. The Convention came together,
without representative from many of
the most important parts of the country
There was not delegate and probably
not a spectator from one of the six New
England States. The proceedings were
marked by great disorder and confusion
The most important feature was the re-
ception of a letter from Charles O'Connor
of New York, giving in his adhesion to
the movement But when the Conven-
ton came to nominate that distinguished
gentleman for President, he utterly re-
fused to stand The Convention then in
despair undertook to make its chairman,
Judge Lyons, OF Richmond, the Pres-
dental nominee, but he ruled the proceed
ings out of order The assemhlage then
broke up, without having put any c.Jndi-
dates in the field, for Mr.. Adams, the
nominee for Vice President, makes his ac-
ceptance on condition that 0'Connor
shall run. So the ill-assorted affair went
to pieces without having effected any
thing, leaving a clear field for Greeley
and Brown. y report of the proceedings
will be found in another column.

The Democrats of Maine should be
prouder than ever of their candidate for
Governor. He has come out of the fiery
furnace of the hottest campaign ever
known in the state, like pure gold. His
personal character is so high that but one
paper in the state has ventured to assail
it, and that one was promptly silenced by
controlling authority in its own party
This best proof Of mans character and
ability is the estimation in winch he is held
by his neighbors, and Mr.. Kimball runs
only 50 votes behind his opponent in Port
land, which four years ago gave Grant

The Vote Of Maine and the Vote Of the
Union

The radical papers are reviving the cry
that "As goes Maine 50 goes the Union"
This has been true of the last three elec-
tions. in two of which the Union was
divided, and large portion Of the states
did not vote. But in 1852 the Wings
elected Gov. Crosby, while the Democrats
elected Pierce to the Presidency. In 1856,
Hamlin was elected Governor in Maine
by over $4,000 majority, while Buchanan
was elected President by the people at
large. The election of 1872 will be the
first one since 1860 in which all the states
have voted, and the indications are that
suit than in 1856
