A Case IA Point.

4 curious illustration Of the hypocrisy
Of the republican party on thr Maine law
question has Just happened in kcnnebec
county 1t is such unexpected proof Of
party double dealing, and % sharply
points the moral that We have often pre-
qented, that We will relate the case. At
the republican county convention, a few
week ago, one OF the candidates nomi-
mated for State Senator. was Moses S
Mayhaw. ot Mount Vernon. His sound

and tho Augusta Journal starting him
out with q favorable puff, placed hiF name

But one day somebody whose fears

complaint. Mayhem was arraigned for

five years ago. He comprehends our sit
uation. He understands the obstacles that
stand in the way of Names development,
and, placed in the position Of Governor,
he is the man to commence and carry on
the work of removing them His influence
in that position would not only be iclt in
Maine, but ii would be felt in Washington.
Not six months would elapsc after his
inauguration, before every man in Maine
would feel and realize the difference be-
tween having mere politician and broad
minded Statesman at the head OF affairs.
Mr.. Titcomb is now in the prime of his
manhood. He is one OF the most accom-
plishcd scholars that ever graduated at
Bowdoin College Whilst he is no bool,
worm, yet there is little that is useful in
the history of the world, that is not at the
command Of hia richly stored mind. In
the principles Of sound government he is
one OF the best informed statesmen in the
country.
Mr.. Tiicomb is prominently . practical
man. His learning and scholarly accom-
plishments are not for mere ornament.
He turns them all to the useful purposes
of life. Hence he is among the foremost
shipbnilders Of our State. 1t was but
few months since that he launched from
his yard the largest and most magnificent
ship ever built in Maine.
There is no position in life that he
would not adorn Place him at the head
Of a banking institution and he becomes
most successful financicr In the shipvard,
under his silent influence and quiet direc-
ton, the great ship rises on the stocks and
giides into the ocean, and, in her passage
around the world, adding to the wealth
and the glory of Maine Place him IN the
halls of legislation and his clear, strong
and Just views give powerful and direct
ing influence in all committee rooms
Place him upon the Supreme bench Of the
State, and he would rise to the front rank
of our Judiciary Place him NJ the helm
of the State and all wonld feel that there
was master there who knows the courses
well and who can steer the ship clear OF
all breakers and safe into port.
Such in brief IS the character Of Joseph
Titcomb. We leave it with the electors OF
of Maine to say whether he IS the man to
be made Governor Of Maine at this time.

How They Manage in Louisiana.

A voice of Indignation goes up all over
the country at the outrageous manner in
which the radicals propose to carry the
election in Louisiana this fall The Gin
cinnati Enquirer says that the blacks are
about equal TO the whites in numbers. but
the Republican party leaders don, intend
TO trust to that or to any other chance,
There is nothing like taking measures be-
iorchand so that YOU can not possibly be
beaten. Elections are, generally consider
ed, quite hazardous affairs But they have
been so svstemized by the usurping GOV
eminent Of Louisiana that the game is
played with loaded dice. For instance, all
persons who vote must he registered, and
there is State Register and 4 Parish Reg
lister 10 superintend the business The
nsurping Governor, Kellogg. appoints
| them. and they all have good salaries.
Whoever gets his name ON the register
| Those whom they say are not voters will
moi be permitted to vote. II A voter has
proofs of naturalization that are satisfac-
tory even to the Courts, the Registers may
or may not take them. From their decis-
ion there is no appeal, and any Judge who
attempts TO interfere may be fined $500 and
imprisoned six months. They arc author
lied TO appoint 4 horde Of constables TO
stand about and manage the polls-ther
principal business being 10 keep off their
opponents and admit their friends These
Registers also see to the counting, and
have the custody OF the ballot-boxes and
contents Therefore is there any one who
does not agree with Us in our assertion
that it is impossible Tor the Kellogg party
to lose Louisiana, unless by some extran-
eous method this hideous mocl,cry Of an
| election is destroyed? An election held
! under such auspices is fraud on its face,
| and members Of Congress SO chosen will

| Representatives There is Y turpitnde and
villainy in this law that ought to disgust
the people generally, and induce them to

Louisiana, they will be fools indeed 10

The readers of the Advocate are referred
to the fourth page for important political
reading. The able letter Of Gov. Leslie,
Of Kentucky, may be studied as text
book, and conned with profit by ALL The
New York World says of it:
''For an inspiriting affirmation Of faith in
Democratic principles and of confidence in
Democratic success we'eommend our readers
to the letter Of Governor Preston Fl. Leslie,
Of kenteky, to the Manhattan Club, which
will be found in another page From the
words Of Governor Leslie, Democrats every
where may proftably learn the true causes to
which to attribute the brilliant victories which
have recently rewarded the constancy Of the
Democratic party to its traditional faith, and
elamorers for new party may learn what
many of them must have failed to learn from
other sources, that the country now, as in the
past, has no safe refuge at the hour of its dis.
tress save in those principles. This truth is
coming home to the sober common sense Of
the people much more forcibly than to the
expedieney and prejudice Of purist journals,
which, while seeing everything bad in latter
day Republicanism, have until very lately
been able to see nothing good in Democracy. .
