Curious EFFECTS THE British
journals report two effects which our
financial panic has had upon them.
In the literary world it has caused much
disappointment, from the withdrawal
OF the proposals made to many Eng
ish celebrities who had been invited to
deliver lectures in the United States at
high prices. 70 certain extent, how
ever, this disappointment is said to be
counterbalanced by the falling off in
''the American demand for wild ami
mails" The fact is, that prior to the
panic the American competition was
forcing up the prices of animals at a
rate sufficient to alarm even the veal

are one of the most attractive features
of London. Now, however, one can

plant without risk of bankruptcy.

they will spend in the State of Maine,
until the election in September, to
persuade her people that it would be
better for them to support the Govern

Mr.. Blaine treats the subject briefly
in paragraph, to which we invite the
careful attention of our readers,
asking them, instead of Name to

Names great misfortune that the Con-

in proportion to population and not
according to wealth. By the ninth
census, Maine has about Oue-sixtieth
of the total population of the United
States, aud her share of two hundred
millions of direct taxation, would be
sumething over three and quarter
millions of dollars in gold coin-the
single Cong essiOual District, whose
constituents | am addressing, would
be called upon for seven hundred thou
sand dollars. The peculiar hardship
of raising taxes in this way is made
manifest by the simple fact that Maine
would he compelled to pay nearly one
half a. much as Massachusetts, while
in fact she has but one~seventh of the
wealth of that highly favored and
prosperous Commonwealth. To prop
erly estimate the eXhausting and OPP
pressive nature of this enormous tax,
you have but TO consider that it would
be three times as large as the present
State tax, aud would necessarily be
levied ia addition thereto.
And these grievous hardships would

HON. HORACE MAYNARD.

THE ArToREY GENERALS RACE.

An effort is being made to induce
some Republicans in Knox county to
vote against Charles d. McGuffey for
district Attorney General. There is
no effort made to prove to them that
he is not better qualified for the place
than Mr.. Williams. They admit that
he is sober, honest, of high moral
character, and eminently qualified for
the place, but they try to array
Republicans against him because he is
Northern man. While Democrats
can consistently listen to such obiec-
tions, Republicans ought never to do
so. We ask the Union Republicans
OF Knox county where they would be
without the votes of Northern men
who have settled here There are
about one thousand Republicans in
Knox county who were not born In
Tennessee. Take them from the Re
publican vote, and it Leaves the county
Democratic! Mr.. McGuffey is the
frs. Northern Republican who has
been before the voters of Knox county
for a county Office. We have conf
dence that voters will not be infu-
ence'i by such mean appeals to their
prejudice, but that they will choose
between the two candidates upon their
qualifications for the place, and with
out reference to their nativity. That
il all we ask.
