THE MAINE ELECTlON:

The unexpected result OF th:
Maine election shows the effect o.
the policy of precipitate resumption.
on which Republican leaders based
their chief hope. They sought I"
take advantage Of general and
very natural desire Of the people
to have fuctuating paper curren-
cy m1de ,quiva)en. to gold by oe
ing made rcdeemable in gold. Ih.'
people wanted a currency with II
fixed purchasing power, ana tha'
is lust what they want now. The
Republicans sought to forcstal'
Democ ats by adopting and urging
Jacksonioa and Bentonian hard
money doctrine. Their zeal outrar'
| their discretion, and they overstrot
their mark. They adopted meas
ure and plan Of resumption thar
worked an Unreasonable hardship
to the debtor classes, adding to-
commercial stringenc:, Fastening
the already rapi1 shriakage in
nomi nal values, increasing the del
eterious consequences OF over pro-
| duc,ion, adding to the growing
Difficult y Of borrowing money on
any species of property, creating
an a, tificiaI demand for gold and
silver, and interfering VIC; o;entlv
with the laws Of trade. The peo~
pie have been slowly c@mlng to a
right conception of the situation}

consideration for any other inter

STATE POLITICS.

Noticit g the proposed visit OF
Maior Burke and Messrs. Eu 'tis and
Jonas to North Louisiana, to COM
mence canvass, the Shreveport
Times, OF the 9th says:
Major Burke, above all others'
deserves the thanks of our people
for the ability and energy display
0 ! IN organizing and conducting
the campaign OF 1874 and 1876 in
New Orleans. These qualities made
him conspicuous in the late war
and his administrative ability found
a suitable fed in developing the
resources of texas and rendering
them efficient in sustaining the
armies in the field. Prior TO the
surrender he lad projected on
grand Gale a system Of workshops
of all kiuds for manufacturing war
material, especially wagons, har-
ness and other things essential to
placing our armies on a war foot
Jog. We have incidentally refer
red to these things as matters OF
history, to show that in every
position in which he has been
p,accd he has evinccd great ad'
mlnisvrative capacity as an organ
izcr. AS public official in New
Orleans, and also as an officer OF
the Great Northern Railroad. the
same business qualities were exhib'
lied. Ii would be a waste of time
to attempt to enumcrate all the
acts of his life as proofs O! his lit
ness TO occupy the responsible posls
ton Of State Treasurer, for that
TACT is conceded both by friend and
foe.

Kansas City dispatch. of Tuesday. has
the following important river item: The
towboat Grand Lake, No. 2, in charge OF
Captain Calf, which left st. Louis a week
ago, with three barges, arrived here safe this
morning. The barges were towed to the
Union depot, where they are receiving a
cargo of one hundred thousand bushels OF
corn, which will be shipped to st. Louis and
thence to New Orleans. The barges have
been visited by hundreds to-day, including
many leading business men of the city. The
arrival of the barges is looked on as the be-
ginning of new era In the grain trade, and
1t is supposed to settle the fact that In the fu-
ture the Missouri river is to be utilized as
great outlet for the immense crops OF the
west.
