The MAINE ELECTIoN.-While the
''news from Maine" does not exactly
show Democratic victory it heralds
an inglorlous Republican defeat. The
commonwealth which for nearly
quarter of a century has adhered close
ly and firmly to Republicanism, and
which, but two years ago, gave to
Hayes 16,477 majority, and cast but
SIX hundred and some odd votes for
the Greenback candidate for Governor,
rolled up, on Monday last, combined
Democratic and Greenback vote of
$4,000. Conner, the Republican can
didate for Governor, has plurality,
but 5000 less than a majority over the
Democratic and Greenback candidates.
This will throw the election of State
officers into the Legislature, which will
probably stand 81 Republicans and 81
opposition in the House, and 20 Repub-
licans and II opposition in the Senate,
giving the opposition five majority on
joint ballot. It is thought that either
Garcelon, Democrat, or Smith, Green
backer, will be elected Governor. by
the Legislature. Two Congressman,
at least, have been elected BY the op-
position. The result in Maine not
only shows that this new Greenback
party is making wonderful gains in
numbers, but that the Republican par
ty is fast falling to pieces, even in its
very strongholds, and will soon be an
insignificant minority. While the new
party has swelled with increasing num-
bers on every hand, the Democratic
party has either gained or held its own,
which shows conclusively that the large
Greenback and National party vote,
which is making itself manifest in diff
ferent quarters Of the country, comes
not from the Democratic ranks. What
ever party the Democrats will have to
fight in the future, it is certain that it
will not be the Republican party !;
that party, already tottering with the
weight of its past misgovernment, re-
ceived its death blow when a fraudu-
lent President was counted in. The
news from Maine is but a forecast of
what is coming. Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana will be heard from next,
and then we imagine our Republican
friends will take very little interest in
the November elections.

promise to payment is almost reached
or is promised to be reached if we will
but stand fast but a very little longer.
And in considering what are the
causes of our present distress, let me
comment on what is not a cause,
although so loudly proclaimed to be.
We hear and read daily the allegation
that the volume of the currency has
been contracted and that contraction"
is the cause of mems present poverty.
That there is actually scarcity Of these
notes, less than the reasonable demands
of business require. 1 cannot imagine
how, in face of the facts, such charge
can be gravely made. If any man will
look at any newspaper of to-day
or Of the money markets, in any
of the money centres of the Union.
he will find the market stagnant, and
the rates of interest running somewhere,
about 3, 4, and 5 per cent per annum.
Can that be because there is a scarcity
of money or does it not show that
there is not scarcity, but plethora 2
that if some men at least had not so
many notes they would demand more
for the use of them 7 You can borrow
at low rates in all these cities, upon
undoubted security, because there is
more money lying idle than there is de-
mand for in business. lido not speak
of men who have no credit that is
another question. Print or coin all
the money you please; ordain what
rate of interest you will how is man
to get money unless he has something
to give in exchange for it or unless
he works for it or gives security for its
return Some persons seem actually
to believe that we can make every poor
man rich by setting printing presses
in motion, or stamping base money.
If a man would have money he must
have property or service to give in
exchange for it or be able to give
satisfactory security if he would borrow
it.
But the tables of the Treasury will
show you, so far from the fund for
circulation having been lessened Since
the passage of the Resumption act, it
has actually been increased.

WAsHNGrON, D G., Sept. II, 1878.
Your correspondent was first to state
that Senator Blaine, with the shrewd-
ness he has always exhibited, was push
ing the Grant movement with the ex-
pectation that when the time comes, as
It surely will come, for the people to
say that no man can be renominated
for third Presidential term, he will
capture the Grant strength, or than,
being then as always the man most
constantly before the people, he will
receive their votes as the only sure
means of preventing the taking Of an
other unknown man like Hayes. The
Senator knows that it would be mad
ness for a Republican Conventions to-
take any other prominent politician,
and leave him out. That, would. be
courting defeat. And so, if he can, as
be is attempting. to do, delude the in
Vulnerable friends Of Grant into a be-
lief that their faYorite is to bepomina-
ted, and mostly by his efforts, his own
way seems to be reasonably clear. The

Natiq1al RepablisGh, which is divided
Ia its affections between Grant and
ConNing, reproduces the statement Of
your correspondent, and while profes-
sing to doubtSthat Senator Blaine. has
any such ideas, plainly shows that it
fears he may have. The Republican
does not know Senator Blaine's eapa-
city for intrigue, Hardly any Demo
crat, whether with a tendency to "soft
money" or not in his financial ideas,
can help feeling a certain satisfaction
at the Republican overthrow in Maine
Yesterday. 1t is more of Waterloo
than was expected by any one here,
especially as to the State officers, Leg
islature, etc. But, as in Massachusetts,
the people had a right to complain of
unnecessary expense in the conduct Of
State affairs, and there seems to have
been dissatisfaction with Governor
Conner. But the Congressional changes
Il write while it seems certain in two
districts the Republican candidates
have been defeated and maiorities re-
dueed in all the others-will have the
most effect outside the State, and will
do much to discourage Republicans
elsewhere. All your readers know
that heretofore all the five Congress
men have been Republican, and the
only question as to Governor and Leg
is11atttfe has has been been ss tte te the the amount e
majority desired by the leaders.
Speaker Randall says he thinks the
Democrats will carry Pennsylvania
this Fall, and he estimates the Demo-
cratic majority in thenext U. S. House
of Representatives at 80, and believes
it will be more rather than less. OF
his own election as Speaker he is not
in doubt The only candidate against
him SO far is Representative Black
burn, of Kentucky.
While horrible pestilence is devas-
tating the Southwest we find out the

ing in other cities, but | know that
here no race, or sect, or party holds
back. Every one has asked of our
authorities that public meeting be
called so that contributions can be
more safely and advantageously sent
to the afflicted. Something more of
method and responsibility in the col
lections and disbursements is needed
as, | presume, in other places, and with
the gifts would be larger and more nu-
merous. Failing to move the author
tiles in the matter, leading citizens have
called a meeting for tonight, and here
after we may expect whatever is con-
tributed to reach its appropriate desti-
nation. All is needed that can be

particularly call attention to that portion
of Mr.. Groff's testimonial which reads thus
II am confident if it had not been affected by
the red rust, which was universally the case
throughout this section this season, that the
yield would have been fully 55 bushels per
acre.
Mr.. R. E. Smith, of Middetown, informed
me that last year, or his farm near Hillsbor-
ough, Nd, he sowed, just as an experiment,
three pecks of wheat on about one-half acre
of ground, and cuhiVated it in the Spring
with a small cultivator, as he would corn,
which produced him 20 bushels. He says
some of the heads measured over six inches
long, which corresponds exactly with those
in my possession grown by Mr. Croft.
Mr.. H. Clayton, President of the Citizens
National Bank of Middletown, sowed about
FIVE acres of the same kind of wheat last Fall.
on what know to be the best land on his
farm las it has been titled as truck patch
for number of years) on which be put ESQ
lbs. of phosphate, and he informs me that he
got IL bushels per acre. Along side of it he
got over 25 bushels of red wheat per acre.
Mr.. ]. R. Hall, cashier of the same bank,
informs me that on his farm in Cecil county,
Md, near the Pennsylvania line, with 200 lbs.
of phosphate, be only got 10 bushels per acre.
Mr.. Thos. Clayton, near Mount Pleasant,
on small plot of ground, of the same kind of
wheat, heavily phosphated, threshed about
10 bushels per acre.
Mr.. W. Ellison, living on the farm of John
Drummond, Esq, in Middle Neck, Cecil Co.,
Md, with 300 lbs. of phosphate, per acre, in
forms me that he did not get his seed where
he sowed the Clawson wheat.
Now, while l do not know the egdct guam
tity of red wheat mot so much injured by
rust) that these four gentlemen raised-I pre-
sumo it was from Is TO 20 bushels per acre
does it not show that Mr. Croft would have
gotten at least So bushels per acre if it had
not been for the rust, as he states in his testi-
monial2
| know that some will say that Mr. Groff's
land is good. Granting this. we must also
remember that his wheat grew on a wheat
stubble, without either phosphate or manure.
Let me ask just here-Is Mr. Smiths land
so much better than Mr.. Clayton truck patch,
which has had load after load of stable manure
for several years past, and an application of
80 lbs. more of phosphate last year, that be
should raise 20 bushels more per acre?
1t is not evident that the great difference,
both in the quality, the size of the grain, and
the yield of these lots of wheat, was the result
Of cultivation tchich stimulated and forced Il on
to perfection.
