Tho result Of the village election 1sat Friday
gives general satisfaction, and the sction OF the

interest. The local politicians ais bus,ly en-

for Tilden. The Southern correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial writes: 81 have
made an estimate of the msjorities which
think Tllden will receive in the Southern
States. These are not hap-hazard, but based
upon careful survey of the field and a per.
sonal visit to many of the States. Virginia,
$4,000 majority; Tennessee, $4,000; Alaba
ma, 10000; Arkansas, $4,000; Louisiana,

Florida, 1000; Maryland. 10000; Kentucky,
$4,000; Missouri, 10000; Texas, Al. 900. To-
tai majority in the Southern States for Tilden,
315,000. In these estimates 1 have inclined
to moderation, and l have no doubt but what
the actual majorities will, in most instances,
go above the figures 1 have indicated. I
should not be surprised if the total in these
states was swelled to 375, ZOO majority. At
the same time look for the Republicans to
make slight gains in Congressman in the

Campaign Notes.

Maryland roughs are being imported into
andana to vote the Democratic ticket.
Democrats in Virginia insult Republican
professions by cheers for Jefferson Davis.
"Voter, dear voter, come homer' echoe.
from far-off Ohio and Indiane.
Mr., Blaine is to address the Republican
students of Dartmouth College before the
campaign closes.
Ten years ago there was no Republican Or
ganization in Kentucky; now the state will
poll 100000 votes for Hayes.
Ben Hill is reported as saying that "under
Hayes as President the South would be quiet
under Tilden she would be happy" It's our
impression she'd better be ''quiet' for a
while. "Be virtuous and you will be happy"
Governor William Allen, of Ohio, declares
the pretended revival of business a mere
Republican trick" Nobody has ever accused
the Democrats of any such trick, certainly :;
and if it is trick, why, the more tricks the
better.
Mr.. Smalley telegraphs TO the Tribune that
the vote in the Hoosier State will be much
closer than either side has anticipated. He
prophesies General Harrison's election, but
regards the success of the rest of the ticket
as problematical.
The campaign in Ohio begins to have the
appearance of one-sided affair. At Napo-
leon, in that State, Senator Thurman spoke
to an audience of about 200 people, all tnat
could be gathered together after widespread
and prolonged advertising.
Democrats in eastern Ohio are credited
with the sharp trick of circulating two sets of
campaign circulars, the one denouncing Mr.
Barnes, the Republican candidate for Secre-
tary OF State, as temperance fanatic, the
other accusing him OF being "a hard drinker,
very fond of beer, and altogether common
drunkard." The object of the scheme is, of
course. to deprive Mr.. Barnes of both the
temperance and the German vote.
Tilden's "still hunt In Indiana is being
conducted by General McCandless, a notori-
GUS Philadelphia balot-box stuffer. Senator
Wallace, also of Pennsylvania, and that de-
lectable economist, Sam Randall, are on the
stump among the Hoosers; but, with all
their strength and that of McCandless and
others combined, the appearances indicate a
Republican success in the coming state
election.
The Utica Herald thus refers to one of the
incidents ofthe political canvass in that neigh
borhood: sc. S. Bearss. the well known Re-
publican stump speaker, of Annsvie, made
crushing response to the argument OF E.
D. Taylor, of Rome, at the Democratic meet
ing in Lee, Saturday evening. Mr.. Taylor
left his new silk hat in chair, and Mr..
Bearss, who weighs nearly two hundred and
forty pounds, accidentally sat upon it for an
hour.o

THE Cincinnati Gazette, in a double-leaded
leader, speaks most hopefully of the results
in Ohio. 1t recalls the fact that the Demo-
Gratis predicted victory for Vallindigham
when he ran for Governor against the Hon.
John Brough, although the Republicans car
ried the state by one hundred thousand ma
jority. The Gazette says: "The people of
Ohio will not vote to place in power the party
that sought to destroy the Government.
They are too intelligent and too patriotic for
that. The Vallandghammers of 1876 may
boast as they did in 1868, and doubling Re-
publicans may fear and tremb:e, but Ohio
will record sweeping Republican victory on
the 10th OF October, and that victory will be
made still more emphatic in November. That
is what is in the air."
The Portland daily press., 1876-10-05

THE Cincinnati papers begin to speak quite
cheeringly of the business prospects and the
uHmistakable improvement that has taken
place in that city. On this subject the Com
mercial observes:
Within few weeks there has been bright
enine of business prospects in Cincinnati that
it is cheering to witness Our business men are
in better spirits than for some years. They
feel that we have touched bottom and are again
getting up in the world. Confidence is being
rapidly restored Values have ceased to shrink
and there is a general tendency to slight ad-
vances Country merchants having sold out
from top to bottom, and cleaned the corners,
are coming in for fresh stocks. This is re-
markable, and the more encouraging because
Presidential year is proverbally duh for busi-
ness, and this year we lack our Exposition. and
there is an immense travel to the Centennial

PORTLAND, Oct. 4, 1876.

The New York papers report that "Old Par
ker," the famous African lion of the Central
Park collection, is dying. He was csptured
when about four months old, near the walls of
Oran, by Sehuiet, one of the agents of the
Geological Gardens of London. Ia 1859 he
was first brought out, aud on the secoud night
of his exhibition he killed W. &. Rockwell, his
trainer, in Cooks circus, London. His next
exploit was the killing of bis trainer, Robert
Stuart in Glasgow, and afterwards he badly
maugled man in one of the shire towns of
Eng land. Parker was afterwards brought to
this country by Sands. Nathan g. Co. but tbey
could do little with him, and alter few per
formsnces he killed Miss Hardy. He after
wards became the property of Mr.. Barnum
and finally of the park commissioners.

The Centennial Commission at PhiIa-
delphia, having extended requests to
competent persons in each county in the
United States to prepare histories of the
counties in which they reside-the same
to be printed in pages uniform in size
with the Congressional documents, and
to be bound in suitable volumns and de-
posted in an appropriate place for the
use of future historians-an effort is be-
ing generally made by the persons
designated by the Commission, to COM
ply with their request. Col. James
Taylor, a competent and well known
citizen of this county, has undertaken
the task of writing up Perry for the
above purpose, and the better to enable
him to complete the work, he requests
all persons who know anything of inter
est concerning the early settlement of
the county, to convey such information
to him. As the Colonel has undertaken
this matter without the promise Of com
pensation, and as il is one which should
at once appeal to our local pride, it is to
be hoped that he will receive in due
time the assistance he asks.
