HNW MINE UENT.

The full returns in Maine singularly illus
trate the political sagacity of the men who
made the ringing canvass i'll that State, and
have for years controlled its politics. The
general belief was, that the Republican
majority would BE- very much below the
figures that had been first talked about. Our
own correspondent, a singularly careful and
painstakng man, reported it as his best judg-
ment that the Republican majority would be
between eight and twelve thousand and prob
ably between eight and ten. The Democrats
talked about reducing it to four or five
thousand On the night of the election Mr..
Blame telegraphed to the editor of The
TRIBUNE Us follows:
our victory runs far beyond our calculations We
have made clean sweep OF all the Congressional dis
tricts and all the counties 10 the State.
Jas. C. BLAINE.
Two hours later, his trusty lieutenant Mr..
John J.. Stevens, telegraphed THE TRIBUNE as
follows:
Figures still look $1,000 Republican majority and all
the Congressman.
The next day both these ispatches-thougll
from the best authorities in the State-werc
generally regarded rs too high. The full
figures now show the exact majority to be
l5,459. Last year the majority was 1872.
There may be better political organizers in
the United States than Mr.. James G.. Blaine,
but if SO, it is of the first Importance that
they occupy themselves after Mr. Blaine's
fashion in Ohio and Indiana within the next
fortnight Ohio we judge to be an especially
good Geld for good deal of work.

We publish this morning another letter from
Indianapolis. Our intelligent and careful cor
respondent points out the manner in which
the great political contest of the year has been
colored and modified in Indiana and what he
says of that State is, to the best of our obser-
walton, true of many others. The attempt to
keep the Southern question out of the can
vass has failed, partly because the people have
long memories of distrustful kind, but
principally because the Democratic party has
dubious record rs to all questions connected
with the Rebellion and It's causes and itself
insists on dragging that record to the light
and being judged by it. A party which in

progress of the great work that the portion OF te
undertaking which devoyes upon our citizens should

and il is most fitting that beginning should be
made before his return to France. There can DC no
doubt indeed that the funds necessary for the cree
ton of the massive pedestal which shall support the
colossal statue will be contributed. Hundreds IL
not thousands of persons, already await the proper
organization and appointment of committees, IN
order to give what they can spare for the WORK.
Enough for the foundation. which would allow OF
the project being put in execution at once, would
probably be subscribed in few weeks. Under no
circumstances should the beginning of work be de-

yEy.YoRK DAY AT THE EXPOSITION

NEW.YORK DAY AT THE EXPOSITION
we have little doubt that the attendance at
the Exposition on Thursday will exceed that
of even the opening day. There are several
good reasons why it should do so. There GER
tainly is prOprety as well as policy in the
plan adopted by the Commissioners of setting
aside a day which each of the original States
can consider especially her own; and, by an
odd coincidence, this week is the most fitting
time for New-York to join in the Centennial
rcjoicings, as, just century ago, it was the
season of her greatest suffering in the cause of
freedom. The British entered her streets Sept
20, and before the 28th one-third OF the town
lay in ashes, the inhabitants were reduced to
want American prisoners were in the hands
of the Infamous Cunningham, and tho sick
and wounded of our army on Harlem
flights lay uncared for in sheds, stables, and
even under fences in the open field.
1t may not be amiss for US to take this back
ward glance to the condition of our forefathers,
if but to give zest to our share in the great
celebration. There are other more practical
reasons to induce us to join heartily in the
"New-York Day. Fares, excursion tickets,
ETC., will be reduced so as to place the visit
within the reach of many who can ill afford to
take even this brief glimpse of the Exhibition

Anxiety upon the subject of the proposed
explosion at He'll Gate is to be naturally ex-
pected on the part of residents in that vicinity.
To have nitro -glycerine near at hand is OF
necessity source of terror to all except, per-
haps, the people who handle it. But the ex-
plantations given by Gen. Newton should go
far to relieve this fear. In the first place it
is dynamite, not unmixed nitro glycerine, that
is to be used and despite the popular dread
of dynamite which the Bremerhaven and other
accidental explosions have Occasoned, it lisa less
dangerous and more manageable substance than
the other. The second point advanced by Gen.
Newton will probably be better appreciated
by the public. No explosion of mass OF
dynamite is to take place The material is
packed in small separate charges. If, for in
stance, powder magazine is exploded, there
is great conclusion and damage; but II the
same amount of powder should be simultane-
ously fired off from the guns of regiment, no
considerable convulsiOn of the air is caused.
Lastly, the charges at He'll Gate will be i'm
mersed in water; there will be no air close
around them to be convulsed. At all events,
however, there is a relief in tho pOstp0nement
of the affair. 1t will give opportunity for
fuller discussion of the possible dangers. 10
may also afford a chance for improving the
method proposed for firing the charges stimuli
taneously This, as at present described, seems
to be rather an awkward and uncertain con-

Mr.. Card, who is an authority on British
agriculture, shows that the wheat crop of the
United Kingdom is far from abundant. This
arises from the land devoted TO wheat having
been 67S,OOO acres less than the average
acreage of 1874 and the seven preceding
years. Mr.. Card says Great Britain viii rely
mainly on this country to make good the de-
ficiency, and predicts better prices This is

Gen. Babcock comes up smiling for his sec

it seems fair to assume it viii be when three
friends of the defendant and the District Ring

them is the caterer who probably furnished

Now, when lie comes out of this court with
the seal of innocence stamped upon his brow
by his own purveyor, will he seek third trial

now Gen. BabcOck would look well in the act
OF demanding a court-martial.
