The Maine Election.
I Communicated

The canvass in Maine SHOWS that the people
are getting to understand this currency ques-
ton in its true light. The Republican party,
ever since the nomination OF Corners, worked
with the utmost zeal to convince the people
that because the Democrats OF Ohio had pro-
nounced against contraction as a means to raise
the value OF greenbacks, that the Democratic
marty. in fact whatever might be their plat
form. was in favor Of an rredeemahle currency.
This stupsndous effort nearly lost them the
State, and had the canvass lasted another
month undoubtedly the hard money contrae-
ton theoriats would have been beaten out OF
sight.
The difference be ween gold and greenbac ks
is just this.
greenbacks will not pay interest on the ma
tional debt, or duties on imports;
Wipe out this difference III value, ana both
would be OF equal value.
Now. the non tax paying gold interest gov
eminent bondholder, has the monopoly OF gold;
He gets his 500, 900, 900 OF gold yearly, and
when the merchant wants to pay the duties on
his imports, he deliberately charges him trom
ten to twenty per cent. shave, as the gold nap
pens to be plenty or scarce IN the market.
If the government should give parties the
privilege Of taking five per cent gold interest
or 6 per cent. currency interest, on bonds, W.
predict that every holder OF bonds in ths
country would take the currenc,~ and as tnl'
would avoid the necessity of collecting gold OF
imports to pay the national debt Interest
greenbacks would he 1T par in month.
The nter-convertibility 3-65 per cent. bono

suit.

Week after next tho County Com.
missioner Court meets again, when
aolne decision is expected on the
question of county aid for the con-
asEuction Of the proposed bridge
across the Santiam at Lebanon. We
regret to learn that some persons in
this section Of the county are taking
an active part against the granting Of
aid by the county. Such conduct
seems to us unkind to the people oi
that rich and prosperous section Of
our county which will most be benc-
fitted BY the enterprise. While this
part Of the county, extending from
Albany to Brownsville and Harris
burg and traversed by the Galipooia,
Muddy and other streams, has had
the most liberal assistance in the
way Of bridges, roads, ETC., Che por-
ton which the proposed bridge is
expected to benefit have had nothing.
This is unfair. The county is now
comparatively out Of debt, and no
ax-payer will feel the additional
burden which the appropriation
asked for would impose upon the
whole county. The amount wanted
is only $4,000, for which good and
responsible citizens propose to bind
themselves that the bridge shall be
built--a frst-cIass one, too. Of the
Smith Truss pattern.
Our space forbids further remarks
upon this question at the present
time, but we believe ninety-nine ont
Of every hundred taxpayers in the
county will endorse our views on
this question. psaia

HOW THEY DTYPER.

Now since the Bulletin didn't think
the Connecticut election was much Of
a Radical flood after all we call its at
tention TO the following extract from
the st. Louis Democrat, which is an
acknowledged leading organ Of the
Republican party Of the "Great
West" In confessing that the Re-
pubIicans met with a crushing defeat
there, it adds: "The majority for tho
Damnrrats was swelled by the bitter
opposition Of many Republicans to
the civil rights bill, the force bill,
the Louisiana business, the attempt
to seat Pinchback, and all the rest
OF that headlong course in which
Butler has led, and which has proved
so fatal. tits not discouraging to
those who care for Republican prin-.
ciples to see another rebuke admin
istered to those who have dragged
the republican party so far from those
principles. No Senatorial election
was pending. and one or two men,
bers Of Congress, more or less, will
make no difference. But the defeat
Of Gen. Hawley is something more
than the loss Of one member Of Con-
gress. IT win tend to make many
Republicans who were not as brave
and faithful as he before, more cow
ardly and ready to compromise with
evil than ever" 0aa
By-the-way, the Bulletin said the
otheE day that il intended to produce
figures to showthat the Democracy
have mot done very well in Connecti-
cut after all. Why don't it trot out

If the flowers were all of the same

We are informed by parties re-
Gently arrived frem San Bernar-

Railroad is coming this way with
rapid strides. Several hundred
men are at work on the line
through and this side the San
Gorgonio Pass, and it is expected
that the road will be completed
to Dos Palmas this season. In
that case we may expect to hear
the snor ting of the =" iron horse"
in Yuma in one year from this
time! The enterprising, emerge
tic and go-ahead proprietors Of
this line are determined to get
to the Colorado river as soon as
possible, and Yuma is the point
at which they aim.
1t will seem bully to be able 10
get aboard the cars here in the

the evening of the next day. The
great prosperity that will be in
augurated on the completion of
the railroad to Arizona, cannot be
over estimated. Then indeed de-
velopment and progress will COM

stop. Let US take heart, for the
railroad is surely coming.
