THE resistance by the Bosnians to the
Austrian army of occupation is explained by
a correspondent of the London Times, who
states that very few Bosnians have ever
heard of the Berlin Congress or its decisions,
and knew nothing beyond the fact that for
eigners have invaded their country. He says
that if the Austrians had first occupied the
districts along the Save, where the population
know them, and where they were not
opposed by single shot, and then waited
until the inland populations had fully UNDER
stood the objects of the occupation by means
of natives sent from the occupied territory
into the interior, and from visitors from the
latter to the former, there would in all prob
ability have been no opposition to the move
ment OF the Austrian troops.
The Portland daily press., 1878-09-12

THESE are the lessons the New York
Times draws from the Maine election: In
the meantime we can only attribute this
most unfortunate and disgraceful incident
In our politics to the misguided discomfort of
the rural population of Maine, oppressed by
debt rashly incurred, and laying hold of any
hope Of relief extended to them, without re-
Election as to the real and permanent effect OF
the measures to which they have given their
approval. That at the very crisis of the long
and arduous struggle which the country has
undergone to overcome the evils brought on
by paper money and the waste of war, so con-
servative State as Maine has always been
should allow the illusion of initiation and
possible reputation to make such progress
among her people is grievous disappoint-
grave discredit to herself. But the result
does not justify any condemnation of the Re-
publican policy in the State. That party
comes out of the conflict with well.defined
convictions, firmly held and courageously
maintained. No concessions it could possibly
have made would have saved it from defeat,
while they would have cost it all hope of
future redemption, and would have made re-
demption weary and difficult task. There
can be no doubt that in the bitter contest
which awaits the country, the principles of
honesty and sober common sense must win
in the long run. 1t is cause of just con-
graduation to themselves and to the country
that the Republicans of Maine have been true
to those principles. When the present craze
for short and easy way of paying debts
without means, for making something of
absolute nothing, shall have passed away, the
Maine Republicans who have kept their heads
cool and their courage firm, will be able to
hold up an untarnished standard, about
which better informed and juster public
opinion can and will rally. The Democrats,
on the other hand, have lost everything, con-
sistency, honor, and political advantage.
They have given their birthright for mess
of pottage, and have not won the pottage.
When the people regain their senses, when
they come to see by the clear light of expert
ence and reflection the hopelessness of the
illusion by which they have been for the mo-
ment misled, they will turn with disgust and
indignation from the tricksters whose facie
morality and low cunning betrayed the cause
they once pretended to serve. Bitter as is
the chagrin and regret of the Republican
leaders at the reflection that they have over
rated the honesty and sense of the people of
Maine, it cannot be so hard to bear as the
consciousness of the Democrats that their
base traffic with the soft-money men has re-
duced them to the lowest rank in the State,
while it has rendered them utterly incapable
of gaining popular confidence after the mo-
mentary madness shall have passed of.
The Portland daily press., 1878-09-12

THERE seems to be a general opinion that
the Democratic party in Maine has gone ont
of business. The Boston Transcript says:
But how stands the probably victorious CO.
alition? One branch of it, the Democratic,
is perfectly demoralized by Its countenaues Of
ideas that the sages OF the party in its better
days would instantly and Indignantly reject.
The Democrats Of Maine are now third par.
ty, casting less votes for governor than the
Greenback organization. The twain, practi-
cally one flesh, have elected Greenbsck rep
resentative to Congress from the fourth dis
trict, and perhaps in the fifth superseded Eu-
gene Hale by the Greenback candidate, T. Fl.
Murch, iourneyman stone-cutter, utterly
unqualified for seat in the National Legis-
lature by the confession of his own adherents.
The Democrats and Greenbackers may con-
troll the House, and so elect the governor.
The Republicans in all parts of the State
raised high the standard Of hard money, and
although the hard heads In Waldo and Penob-
scot counties failed to appreciate the sound
principles inculcated by the Republican lead
ers, the latter are the only politicians that
can look upon the result Of the canvass with
equanimity.

STATISTICS show that Washington Is one
of the most rapidly growing cities in the
United States. According to the census Of
1870 the population of the District of Colum-
bia was 131, 200, the population of Washing
ton being 1O9,199 The census of the Dis
trict as just completed by the assessors shows
the aggregate population of the District to be
160,947, and the population Of Washington
City to be ,947. This is a gain of %, ,74S in
eight years. At this rate Of increase the pop
ulation of Washington in 1880 will be In the
neighborhood of 5000.

The Providence Journal says: The expec-
tation Of stable and honest and just curren-
cy upon which to found business transactions
Is rudely shaken by this news from Maine.
THERE'S less hope, less faith in the future, less
disposition to enter upon legitimate transac-
tions, less confidence in the intelligence Of
the voter, less belief In the glory of the future
of our country. And all this without regard
to party lines. The Democrat who is en-
gagged in business, who has capital to lose, or
who depends upon his capacity, caution and
honesty to make fortune, or who, having
retired from active life with competency, is
anxious to leave it to his children, is equally
dazed and discouraged as is the Republican.

THE Hartford C0urdnt remarks that the
Maine Republicans have made a splendid
fight for sound principles, and even If partial

APARIs correspondent says that upon at

QUEEN VICTORIA was lately on visit to
the duke and duchess of Roxbury at Brox-
mouth Park, in Scotland, land the magistrates
of the borough of Dunbar presented hum
BILE and dutiful address, in which they re-
minded her majesty that 'the last occasion
on which this borough was honored by a
royal visit of your majesty's ancestors was
when his majesty, James, vi. Of Scotland
proceeded from his ancient kingdom of Scot
land to ascend the throne of England"
The Portland daily press., 1878-09-12

SAYS the Boston Journal; 1t Is due to the
Republicans of Maine to say that they have
made magnificent fight, and to predict thai
the good influence of such contest will be
felt by the party when the delusion which
swept the State has been exposed and the in
jury it has inflicted will be regretted by those
who have had hand in it. 1t always pays
parties, as well as individuals, to maintain
their integrity. This the Republicans Of
Maine have done and they will reap their re-
ward

1T is now stated that M. Thiers left no me-
molrs for publication, but he did leave a
volume detailing his negotiations for raising
the milliards, and fragments of great philo-
sophical work. Two volumes of his speeches,
edited by NJ. Calmon, an intimate friend, are
to appear in December and February,
whence, probably, the rumor above alluded
to.
