POLITICAL.

The scheme of putting Gratz Brown on the
way to the United States Senate by getting
member of the Missouri Legislature from Iron
county to resign, has failed. The member
from Iron county won't resign.
All the Democratic Congressman from Ken
lucky voted for and took their back pay with
alacrity, and the Democratic papers of the
State have not been forward to condemn
them for it. One of these journals, indeed,
justified one of them for his vote because he
was rebel soldier.
The Sacramento Union declares that Gov
Booth will certainly be elected United Sena-
tor from California, if there is such a thing as
good faith among representatives, or strength
in the popular will. The San Diego World,
a Democratic paper, takes the same view.
The Philadelphia Press, in referring to the
Pennsylvania State Constitutional Conven-
ton, hopes that there will be no more OF
them, and adds that it will save cost and time
to raise small commission of three or five
practical men every twenty years to repair
the constitution, as a good tailor mends a Goa,
or fits it to the new fashion, and then to sub
NIT their job to the Legislature and afterward
to the people. 1t is said that the first con-
stitution of Ohio was written by one man,
and adopted entire without alteration. and it
wore half century without patching.

COMMISSIONER SHAWS FAILURE

The failure of Liquor Commissioner Shaw,
at Portland, is due to his endorsement of his
sons paper to large amount.
The Press says: Mr.. Shaw is in trouble on
account of large endorsements for his son, who
is in the wooden pavement business, and the
difficulty does not result in any degree from
his business as Liquor Agent. This has been
safely, prudently and honestly conducted, as
was ascertained on examination by the Cover
nor and Council only few months ago. The
State loses nothing, having no interest in the
sales OF the agency. The State simply requires
the agent to sell pure liquors to the municipal
agents at a profit not exceeding per cent,
and in return guarantees to him, as far as
possible, monopoly of the business. The
law expressly declares that "no contract made
by the provisions Of this chapter shall pledge
the credit of the State for the payment of any
sum to said commissioner, or for the payment
of any liquors purchased by him."
Mr.. Shaw met his creditors at the law office
of T. b. Reed yesterday afternoon, where all
but two OF them were represented. He owes
very little here; the principal liabilities are
In New York and Boston. He made clean
exhibit of his assets and liabilities, and left
himself in their hands. On motion of E. M.
Rand, esq, a committee of three was appoint
ed to take the matter into consideration, and
the meeting adjourned. His stock is valued
at 0,000, and liabilities estimated at about
800. 900.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

1t is proposed by the European Railway
Company to extend the Piscataquis Branch to
Monsoon, distance of ID miles, provided that
the town of Monson aid the extension to the
amount of per cent. of its valuation.
1t is now said that the principal opposition
in Calais towards the citys aiding the pro-
jected Shore Line Railroad comes frsm the
St Croix and Penobscot Railroad Company
which is anxious to extend its road from
Princeton to Milford, there connecting with
the Europeon Road. As to the provincial
end of the Shore Line from St. Stephens to
st. John it is said that the Provine of New
Brunswick will aid it to the extent of 5000
per mile.

"a Dose In Time" &c.

If "a stitch in time nine" it is equally GER
tam that a dose of healthy tonic like Hostetters
Stomach Bitters taken at this Indictment season of
the year may save many an unpleasant twlnge. A
dose, however, is not sufficient The system should
be thoroughly charged with this genial vegetable
stimulant and invigorant. Commence taking it
with the commencement of the atmospheric
changes which distinguish the winter from the al-
tumn. Thereby you will old those disturbances
of the digestive and secretive organs, and those
painful diseases of the muscles and the nerves
of sensation, which often render the period of the
year which should be the merrest, a season of PEN
ance and disquetude. The extraordinary vigor
and regularity which this exhilaratng restorative
imparts to the most important functions of the
body, render it an invaluable remedy for nervous
debility, constipation, indigestion tOrpidity of the
liver, and intermittent fevers. noV3 teod&wlw

"TRUTH rs ALWAYS CONSISTENT
WITH ITSELF SPEA KER
BLAINE'S WASHINGTON RESI-
nENNE

DENCE.
When Mr.. Blaine was made Speaker in
1869 he purchased a residence in Washing
ton. and began housekeeping January
1870. The Portland Argus, Augusta
Standard aud few Democratic papers
outside of Maine, made great outcry
over the extraordinary display of wealth
which this investment disclosed. Enjoy
ing Mr.. Blaine's confidence very fully, we
published in our issue of Aug. II. 1870, a
reply to the Argus, in which we stated
that from time immemorial" it had been
the custom for the Speaker to keep house
and that Mr.. Blaine on investigating the
subject with good financial judgment,
found it would be more economical to
purchase house and furnish it himself,
than to pay the usual high rates charged
in Washington for Furnished" residences.
We further stated that not having the
ready money to invest, he made only a
small payment, and mortgaged it for the
principal part of its cost, for term OF
years. This explanation. made by us in
perfect good faith, and with full knowl-
edge of the facts. was not received as sat
isiactory BY the Argus-Standard philosopb-
ers. who for some years past have known
more of Mr.. Blaine's business than he has
himself.
Now mark the sequel. Among the as
sets Of Jay Cooke & Co. this identical
mortgage turns up, showing as to dates
and amounts and specific facts, that we
were literally correct in our statement of
1870. The mortgage has been for nearly
-four years recorded in the Public Registry
for the District of Columbia, to be known
and read of all men. And now what have
these papers to sayp Some of them have
the grace to say nothing. The meanest
Of them suppresses all the facts, and with
puny malice wants to know why Speaker
Blaine should be in debt to Jay Cooke &
Coz Not one of them has the manhood to
publish the facts to-day, still less to ac-
knowledge their misrepresentation three
years ago. But truth is always consist
ent with ITSELF" and can afford to wait.

ELECTIONS THIS WEEK.

Elections occur this week on Tuesday in
the States of Massachusetts, New York,
New Jersey. Nevada, Kansas, Mississippi,
Virginia. Texas, Maryland. Wisconsin,
Minnesota. Michigan and Arkansas. The
elections which excite most interest are
those in Massachusetts, New York and
Virginia. In Massachusetts, there is
combination of liquor dealers hard at work
70 defeat Washburn's election. while many
Of the men who supported Buffers nomi-
nAxion are giving but n cool support to the
republican ticket. The temperance men
also are divided, some preferring the de-
tsat Of Washburn TO his election. Under
these rather singular conditions, and with
apathy reigning generally among the
'vcesa, the republican majority will prob
ably be less than usual.
In New York there is curiously mixed
stxte Of affairs. The democrats and lib
erals are ., variance, but the panic oper-
atss against the republicans. In the city
he Apollo Hall democrats unite with
the republicans against Tammany. The
latter will make lively contest. Neither
governor nor lieutenant governor is to be
chosen. but other state officers, state sena-
tors, assemblymen. ten justices of the su-
preme judicial court, and one congress
man are to be elected.
Virginia election attracts considerable
attention because upon it depends i'm
portant results. and the democrats have
contested it on "white mans platform. ="
A governor. lieutenant governor, attor-
ney general and legislature are to be cho-
sen. and the latter will have the selection
of United States Senator. The candi-
date of the republicans for governor is a
reconstructed rebel.
Minnesota and Wisconsin elect full
boards of State officers and legislatures
In these States the democracy do not APP
pear in the contest under their party name
butin concert with the grangers, and the
opposition Of oil sorts fights under new
banner or no banner, in the same manner
~ was recently tried in Iowa.
Kansas elects full House, and half of
the Senate. In Michigan congressman
Is TO be chosen in the fifth district. Ar
kansas. New Jersey and Maryland elect
legislatures, and the last two elect State
officers; there is also United States Sem
ator pending.
There is no special Importance attach
ing 70 these elections. Local influences
will have their full weight upon them
There will be many Irregularities and de-
Partures from strict party organization by
local and temporary causes, as have al
ready been witnessed in other States and
invariably occur in the off-year when
national questions are not paramount.
