Letter from Ellsworth.

ELLSWORTH, April ri, lS,l.
Last Monday was election day in our little
city, and very good day for an election. The
RAIDS trotted out the Mayor Of last wear. Joseph
f. Grant, Esq., their very heaviest plcce OF
ordnance. Tile Democrats those REIN Demo.
Gratis, brought the President ot the Ellsworth
Temperance League into the ring. win Neal
Dow, that distinguished apostle Of temperance
and Republicanism, give credeuce TO this. The
RAIDS elected their man by II majority, but the
Democrats carried three of the five wards: and
thereby hangs a tale In one ward the Demo
cratic ticket had one majority all round. In
counting the votes there We're several mutilated
ones found which were the cause Of some dis
pute, but the warden and clerk (both Repub-
llcanS) declared them all right, and so made up
the returns, and gave them to q. citizen Of the
ward to be delivered to the Mayor and A Idel-
men. This man, a Republican and defeated
candidate, took these mutilated votes from the
door, placed them in his pocket, and the next
morning brings the refy same ones into the
city, and after consultation with the leading
RAIDS, the warden and clerk We're summoned to
appear before their tribunal. They did 50, and
after learning their duty y endeavored to make
out Il new return eecting the Republican can
didates. But this was Il little gauzy. The
Democrats rightly protested, and they were
forced to give this up. A new election was
then talked of, but being certain of defeat in
that ease, they have decided to admit the DEM
ocratS (who We're honestly elccted) and then
contest their election. They hope bv so doing
to unseat them, and admit the men of their own
clique. DO | hear anyone say that theirs is
not the party of virtue and morality: If so,
put him out.
One Democrat told one of the diyneS of this
city, and rightly too, that the ministers, teA1-
per0nce men, and rumsellers voted the same
ticket. And now as regards the MayOralty.
Three years ago Il ward clerk in making up his
returns. gave the initials instead of the tull
Il county office These votes We're counted as
though thrown for another person, and ~ -
resul. the Republican candidate was decIorea
elected. Mark the contrast A ward clerk
nor returns the initials instead of tbe fp,l
name of the Republican candidate for Mavor
and the kads are in stew. What is sauce for
the goose ought to be sauce for the eapder. but
there Is something nauseous in this sauce. and
the RAIDS make up fearful wry (rye) faces when
forced to swallow it. Last fall the republican
majority here was about 175, and next wear we
will put our shoulders to the wheel and place

The kennebcc Journal says some lnqui
ry has been made relative to the course
that will be pursued by the Executive de
partment, in the appointment of women
to solemnize marriages, take acknowledge
ment of deeds, and atfidayits On inquiry
of The authorities, we learn that any We
man who has been ordained or licensed to
preach by any recognized religious de-
nomination, on proof Of such fact, and
proper recommendation by any persons
personally known to the governor, will
be appointed to solemnize marriages in
any part OF the State. Any woman who
has duties TO disch arge in public or pri-
vate office, or in any other position where
the discharge of the duties imposed upon
her makes it necessary or convenient that
she should receive the authority, will be
appointed to take acknowledgment of
deeds and af1idavits, as we'll as to solemn
ize marriages, for the county in which she
resides, on presenting evidence of this and
furnishing the gov ernor with appropriate
recommendations of citizens personally
known to him-the persons appointed to

Tragedy.

The Lewiston Journal learns that hor-
rible tragedy was enacted in Pennington,
on Thursday of the present week. Enoch
Avery who resides in the southeastern
part of the town, had q son who was fool
ish or insane. The son had got posses
sion OF a shot gun and pistol, and then de-
liberately fired the gun at his father, who
is man some sixty years of age. The
shot took effect, but did not disable the
old gentleman. The young man then
rushed at his father with the pistol, but
the father succeeded in getting the pistol
away from the infatuated son without
injury to himself, and drove him from
the house. Thereupon the young man
went to the barn which was near by,
set it on fire, remained in it and was burn
ed to death. Mr.. Avery, it is thought, is
not fatally injured, and will soon recover
from the effects of the wounds he receiy.
ed. After the fire the young mans re.
mains were found in the ruins, where
from the position they were in, he evident.
ly intended to destroy himself. The los:
by fire was several hundred dollars.

NOT so BAD. The World has been
making some figures on the New llamp-
shire elections, and comparing the result
with that OF previo Is years. 1t summeriz-
es thus The largest Democratic vote
polled previous to this year was for Gov
ernor in 1868, which was 81 ,2G2. The
Democratic vote for this year was SO, 1853
an increase Of ,901. The largest pre-
vious Republican vote was polled for Gov
ernor in 1868, which was SO, 795. The Re
publican vote this year was 80 ,2S5, OF 500
less. In other words the Democrats have
done better than their previous best by
nearly 2000, while the Republicans have
failed to do as we'll as their previous best
by 500. Which horse is making the bet
ter time for the Presidential goal Of 1876 !?
To sum up, The Republicans are ahead
on the gubernatorial vote by Up, and have
a majority of FIVE in the lower House of
the Legislature, and the Democrats are
ahead on the Congressional vote by 325
they tie in the Senate, have 4 majority IN
the Council, and majority of the Con
gressmen, being gain of one, and they
have improved upon their best efforts in
the past by nearly 5000 votes. If, upon
the whole, this is not Democratic Veto
~ it is very nearly like one.

A Question of Fodder

we observe that our neighbor OF the
Frog. Age comes with great alacrty to
the defence of Barnabas in the matter of
Mr.. Parker's removal Also that he makes
disparaging personal allusion to the editor
OF this paper. This is not surprising. On
the contrary it is entirely consistent with
the Ages present relations to Barnabas.
Like the trick mule of the circus, ii filings
Its heels in whichever direction the ring
master crooks his finger. and is rewarded
by aperiodical peck Of oats This is men
toned in no spirit OF complaint, for we
have none to make. We simply note the
fact that Barnabas gives the sign, and the
mule kicks,
1t Will be remembered that there was Il
time when the mule kicked towards the
rIng-master When Barnabas was ap-
pointed, four years ago, the Age was as
indignant rs 4 mule could be II laid
back its ears and flung out its heels to-
wards the great autOcrat Of Goldfish and
molasses. The appointment of Bamabas,
it declared, was shabby treatment of Bel
tast, because Belfast asked to once have a
resident collector, and all the district asked
it. 1t was in disregard Of the protest Of
republicans, &c. &c
That was pretty vicious kicking. The
mule is supposed to have done il On its
own account 1t wanted provender. The
interests OF Belfast in having a resident
collector We're great and overwhelming
then. But, in progress OF time the first
term OF Barnabas wore away and expired
new appointment was to be made. Then
was the time for the Aoe, if it was a con-
Slstent mule, to kick up again, and de-
mand the rights of Belfast If it was an
outrage to appoint Barnabas for one term
what was 1t to reappoint him. Wouldn't
consistent and reliable mule have AGAIN
flung out its heels towards the custom
house? OF course.
But strange things had happened mean-
time. The diplomatic Barnabas had cap
tured the mule, and made him to under
stand that there was fodder in store. Job
makes the pertinent inquiry, Doth the
ass bray when he hath grass ?" No, nor
kick his trainer either. On the contrary
it kicks where he directs, and that's why
we see the heels coming this way.
We do not find fault with this On tho
contrary it is consistent with the great
plan OF creation, which is admirable in
all its parts The prophet Isaiah, whose
chapters are full of philosophy applicable
to human affairs in all times, describes the
case Of the Age-''The OK knoweth his
owner, and the ass his masters crib" 1t
is simply question of fodder

The heavy rain of Saturday and Sun
day produced freshet in most of the liy-
ers Of Maine and New York. The Kenne-
bee rose rapidly until it was over the
wharves in Hallowell The Penobscot did
not rise to dangerous extent, although
the heavy ice creates fears, and in some
cases goods were removed. The Maine
Central bridge at Lisbon Falls was moved
and rendered impossible, but was soon re-
placed. The Merrimac was greatly swol-
len, but no serious damage resulted.

The Black Hills.

has witnessed in California and the Pixies
Peak mania, is about to be repeated in the
vicinity of that unknown region designated
as the Black Hills. The attempt which the
government is making to protect it from
settlement as an Indian reservation will
amount to but little in view Of the vast
armies Of eager and often desperate men
that will move upon its recesses in the
spring.
Gen Sheridan who has spared time
enough from the care of the terrible BAN
dltti of Louisiana to say something upon
the subject OF the Black Hills, writes a
letter which in matter and style is y good
deal better than anything that has lately
emanated from his rather careless pen.
The Black Hills are SO called from the
dark and scrubby character of the timber
which grows along their sides. The re-
gion is much more extensive than is COM
monty supposed, and there are several
localities known by the same name and
included in the great reservation, such as
the Black Hills Of Laramie, Black Hills
Of Powder river and Black Hills of the
Cheyenne-the last being the spot which

THE PISTOL SCENE.
MOULTON AS A GENTLEMAN,

The witness said that Moulton's manner
and conversation were gentlemanly; he
did not say, ''Slnce you know the truth |
will throw myself on what | believe to be
your desire to save me-" There was no
talk Of his (Beechers) relations with Mrs.
Tilton
Question-On that night was there any
imputation by Moulton that you had GRIM
inal connection with Mrs Tilton? TQues-
ton objected to-.
Mr.. Evarts-I want to negative every
form of imputation and leave no room for
the assertion that this was not done.
Judge-1e may answer the question
Witness There was no such imputa-
ton, insinuation, or implication, and
nothing was said by him or me on that
subject Applause, and one of the men
in the gallery was removed for clapping
hands.
TIE NEXT INTERVIEW WITH THE "MUTUAL
FRIEND"
The next point taken up by witness was
the interview when Moulton called, on
January 4. Moulton said that witness
conduct on the previous night had q salu-
tary effect; that Bowen dismissed Tilton
on false accusations, and he (Moulton)
could prove many of them to be lies
When Moulton asked witness what Bow
en- said about Tilton he (Beecher) told
him he found Tilton's opinions such that
he had to remove him to subordinate
position, and that he had no sooner done
80 than the stories, shocking ones about
Tilton, came pouring in, and related to
Bowen stories of Bessie Turner, and what
occurred at my interview with Mrs. Til
ton and her mother Moulton told me
that Of his own knowledge he knew many
of these stories to be false, and said that
he believed Tilton to be absolutely chaste
and faithful to his marital obligations. l
replied to him that if there was anything
in the world l hated and abhored it was
