!. ELECTIONS Toby. day. there
are to be elections in twelve States. The
New York snd Virginia elections possess
more interest than the others. as they
are more holly contested and fought
upon issues OF national Importance
The same. indeed, is true Of the con-
tests in Massachusetts and Maryland,
except that in the former the Radical
minority is so large that it can hardly be
overcome. and III Maryland the Demo.
Gratis will as easily control the election.
Upon the result Of The legislative cleo
ton in Now York will depend United
States Senator, in place Of Ex-Governor
Fenton, whose torn expires in 1875.
In Virginia, the election is for Co
vernon, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney
General and members OF the Legisla-
ture. A Senator is to be- elected, Sena-
tor Lewis term expiring in 1875. The
election OF Kemper and the Conserva.
tive ticket seems to be well assured.
In Minnesota and Wisconsin, where
the elections are for Governor and other
State officers, the contests are between
the Republicans and Independents, the
Democrats making no nominations in
either State. It is thought that the re-
suit will be very close, and cxcites great
interest in the North west.

Exit Maine CantraJ.

Despite the assurances we had ten days
since from parties who ought to be versed in
Maine Central affairs that that railroad
had not been leased and further that the
transaction was not contemplated, we now
have the best authority for saying that, if not
already in the hands of the Eastern Railroad
Company, arrangements have been made
and the details settled for the transfer at an
early day. We are, however, informed by
gentlemen who are in position to know the
movements of the Maine Central directors
that the ltase has been consummated and
that the necessary papers were rassed yester-
day.
If this is true the Maine Central as a living
and responsible corporation has ceased to ex-
ist and the leading road in Maine is in the
direct management Of gentlemen living out
of the State. We must confess that the
fact that the leading railroad, running
through the heart of the State, and the
branches that connect with it, is under the
control OF other than our own people, is not
one calculated to inspire confidence at the in
ception. 1t is to be expected, however, that
the new managers of the railroad system of
the State will consult their own real interest
by adopting such liberal and wise policy as
will develop the industries of Maine rather
than that short sighted and niggardly course
which will not only despoil the State of her
energy but eventually ruin the prospects of
the railroads. Already the lumbermen of the
Kennebec complain that the demands of the
railroads have compelled the manufacturers
of lumber that are able, to build mills along
the tide water, so that they can there manu-
facture their lumber and ship it by water.
Ofcourse the natural result of this change in
the lumber business, is to compel operators
with moderate means to abandon the bust
ness and ultimately abandon the State with
their capital and business energy.
1t is impossible to ascertain what has led
= to the leasing of the Maine Central to the
Eastern. We are told, however, that parties
interested in the Eastern have purchased
controlling interest of the stock and that the
consolidation or leasing would be accomplish
ed next January at the time of the annual
meeting. Maine Central stock has been grad
ually drifting in the hands of Boston parties
and it may be possible that by the unloading
Of r. B. Dunn, Esq. of Waterville and other
parties not entirely in accord with Judge
Rice, the control of the road has gone out of
the hands of the present managers.
