The Election.

Reports yesterday from various parts of the
city are calculated to encourage Republicans
to do their utmost to secure victory next
Monday. As they come to appreciate the i'm
portance of the contest and to notice the ele-
ments at work to secure Democratic vic
tory, Republicans begin to bestr themselves
to secure full vote. The we'll authenticate d
report that the men who fill our poor house
and Jail with paupers and criminals, are rails.
ing money and organizing to secure a Demo-
cratic victory, is one calculated to rouse to
action every friend of law and order. When
this fact becomes patent to all, as it will be-
fore Monday morning, we believe that scores
of Republicans who would otherwise have
kept away from the polls will be found at
work with the old time zeal for the old time
victory.
We need not urge upon our Republican
friends the necessity Of united and hearty ac-
ton, or the importance of using every hon
orable means to bring out full vote. The
fact that the enemy is hopeful and that he is
willing to avail himself of the corruption fund
Of the groggeries and those parties who most
frequently appear in our police court, is a
sufficient incentive to earnest effort.

If the Democratic senators feel it incum-

IT is said that the new Arctic expedition
which the Geographical Society of England
is fitting out will start in the spring. Two
ships are soon to proceed to the entrance Of
Smiths Sound. One will stay there and set
to work establishing depots northward. The
other will sail northward, and when stopped
by ice or when arrived at the farthest point
from which it seems practicable to keep up
communications with its consort will begin
stretching out line of depots. This will be
the work of the autumn and winter of 1875.
In 1876 the advanced ship will send out "a
sledging expedition towards the Pole, which,
instead of carrying all its commissariat along
with it will find much of it locked in the de-
pots of the previous year. Some opposition is
made to this plan by those who think it bet
ter to wait and cooperate with the Austrian
expedition next year.

THE death of Sir Charles Lyell, the emf
nent geologist, is reported by cable. 1t is now
more than forty years since he wrote his
principles of Geology" book which was
the first full and definite statement of the
subject and which is standard authority to
this day. Americans owe him kindly regard
for the candid and just estimate of our char
acter and our institutions which he published
after his tour in this country in .1S45. Sir
Charles was the son of Charles Lyell, the
botanist, and was born in Scotland in 1897.
He graduated at Cambridge at the age Of
"a. In 1880 he published "Principles of &C.
ology." In 1S4S he received the honor Of
knighthood, and in 1850 was elected Presi-
dent of the Geological Society.

WHATEVER feeling the Napoleonic legend
may awaken in France it is quite evident that
Bonapartst dukes are not held in great favor.
One of these upstart mobiles was beaten in the
department of the Seine-et-Oise fortnight
ago, and another has just been defeated in
the department of the Cotes- iu-Nord. The
truth is these creations of the Third .Napo-
leon have neither birth nor personal character
nor distinguished ability nor meritorious SER
vice to recommend them. The cgnitaries OF
the first empire were great soldiers and good
fighters, though frequently Doors. But no re-
nown of military service attaches to the ma
iority of the dukes and counts of the third
empire.

THE statement that salaries have been in
creased under Mayor Wescott to the amount
of $1,000, requires no explanation to those
who have kept posted on the affairs of the
city government. First the pay of the fire.
men was increased from $50 to $67 year.
Who will say that this is not just? Who will
declare that even this sum is more than mere
pittance for the services demanded of them?
The Republican party can afford to take the
responsibility of so small an increase OF ex-
penditure. Moreover, two new fire organi-
cations have been formed in compliance with
the general demand of the property holders
after the fire of August, 1873.
The statement that the pay of policemen
has heen increased $50 is only half true. In
1872 policemen were paid $50 less year, but
were given the cost of a suit of clothes,
amounting to at least the additional $50. The

THE ritualists of the English Church are
much annoyed al the charge brought against
them of being the recruiting agents of Rome.
Canon Siddon, who holds an advanced post
in their ranks, has written to the Times de-
nying that he entertains any sympathy for the
Catholic Church or that he holds any doc
trines at variance with the Anglican creed.
Monsignor Capel has replied, and the cor
respondence is now going on. The Catholic
-disputants affirm that the ritualists are their
allies, the low-church men say that DR.. Pusey
and his followers are continually pointing out
the shortest road 10 Rome, and Canon Sddon
and his supporters, assailed on all sides, are
in much trouble of mind. u3 !

In Boston Lent opened merrily. One de-

OUR neghbor is greatly exercised about
bribery at elections; nevertheless its party
leaders of certain class are raising fund to
procure naturalization papers for those they
propose to make Democrats Of There can
be no doubt but that this is done with the
promise that the men who thus receive the
right of the ballot will vote the party ticket.
Now isn't this bribery?

BOSTON has been enjoying glorious SUI
set 1t 'bathed the heavens with light and
was reflected by the gilded dome of the State
House." 1t is the prevalent opinion in Bos-
ton that the sun was created for the purpose
of shining on the State House dome. This
belief from a chronological standpoint seems
absurd and impossible; but we should re-
member that DIR Holmes, the most brilliant
of Bostonans, has said thai any great griet
or joy stains back through all the pages Of
life-history, aud the moment after it happens
seems as old as the trilobi.es. So the great
joy of the Gilded Dome has stained through
all the pages and left blot at the very be-
ginning of Boston's book of time, and seems
the one bright spot in the world-chaos, the
nucleus about which the universe grouped

Wednesday The bill is the same as that
which passed the House last session, with
amendments curtailing the land grants. These
amendments will send it back to the House,
where it will be likely to remain for the pres

The French Assembly on Wednesday fin
ally pasaed the bill for the organization of the
Senate by vote of AS to 241. Previous to
the passage of the bill the amendment to
clause five, offered by Depit Tuesday, pro-
viding that the seventy-tive senators to be
chosen by the Assembly be selected from
list of nominations from the president OF the
republic was voted down. Having disposed
of the senate bill the Assembly took up the
bill for the organization of powers, which
passed its second reading about nine months
ago, and considered it clause by clause.
Amendments were moved by the Right and
the Bonapartists, but were all rejected. The
clause implying recognition of the republic,
which had a majority of only one on the 3Oth
of January, was finally adopted by vote Of
433 to 1862. An amendment to clause three,
determining the Presidents powers, and Civ
ing him the right to appoint councillors of
state, was moved, and referred to commit
tee. After the adoption of clause five the
Assembly adjourned.

There has been less interest in this class of
legislation this year than at any time for
many years. There have been very few oppor
tunities to turnan honest penny in the lobby,
owing to the state of peace among the railroads
in the state or entering it.
Of the legislation effecting railroads, the act
to enforce the collection of taxes on railroad
companies is the most important. The act pro-
vides remedy for the State Treasurer against
such corporations as refuse or neglect to pay
the tax assessed under the act of 1874, by seiz-
ing the property of the company and selling
the same at auction. An act additional to the
act chartering tie Portland & Rochester Kali
road Co. extends the time of a change OF loca-
ton between Cumberland Mills and the depot
in Portland three years from Feb. and also
authorizes the company to locate and construct
a continuation, commencing at point north
eastery of behring's bridge and continuing in
| n north -eastery direction until connection is
made with the road as at present located at
