AN election for municipal officers
was held in Portland, Maine, yesterday.
Agar ago the Republican majority in
the city was 507. Yesterday Z. NJ
Richards was elected Mayor by Dem
ocratic majority of 444. 1t looks as if
ballots were decidedly against Repub
licanism, but it has the advantage Of
having bayonets in its favor. Maine
should have been included with the
Gulf States and Arkansas in the
banditti bill. Democratic Yankees
should be coerced into subsection to
the Dictator of the White House as well
as Democratic Southerners, as they
are alike dangerous to tho succession.

difference iL individuals in this respect
IS very great. DR. Cooch mentions a

who reduced their sleep to the mini

threw themselves on a couch with n
