THE nAINE ELECTION.


Davis, Republican, Probably tlec-
ted Governor by the Popular
Vote.
The latest dispatches from Maine
show a total vote Of l06,l for Cover,
nor in 2s7 towns, with q Republican
majority Of $3.50. The returns by
mail are given in the subjoinsd table,
with the total vote last year. These
figures give a total of 10l, 1868, with a
Republican majority Of s, $50, not count
ing the scattering votes. Last year the
Republicans had q plurality Of 10, ia
over Smith e. bk.) but the combined
opposition vote, including 81 scattering
votes, was u, ,7s9 larger than the Re-
publican vote.
II the Republican gains indicated by
the above table and the latest dispatch
es hold ont, Mr.. Davis (Rep..) will be
elected by the people. His election by
the Legislature, however, is certain
should he fail OF an election by the
people. The latest reports give the
Republicans 7 majority in the Senate
and q majority in the House.
The total vote in the State will proba-
bly, reach 10000 the largest ever cast
in the State.
The constitutional amendments pro-
viding for biennial elections we're un-
dou btedly carried.

PENNA. AND THE PREsIDENCY.
U. n. Senator Camee0n kst1s6ed
/ with Father Grant or Blaine.

James Young, the Washington cor
respondent Of the Philadelphia "Star,"
gives the Blaine "boom'' tho following
lift: "The question now is, where is
Sherman to get his delegates from 7
New York says, We have none for you;
his only friends in Pennsylvania are .
few offce-holders in Philadelphia, with
Tuition and poor old Pollock at their
head, who haven't got sufficient in
fluencs to send delegate to even q
ward convention. In Ohio he was for
ced to leave the stump, as the old guard
of his party there said that 1t was all
they bargained to swallow Foster, for
whom they would vote simply to save
the State, for the prestige it would give
in the all important Presidential cam
paign of next year. This shows that
he cannot carry even his own State
Aud If Blaine carries Maine he will i'm
nedist-ly enter the race and rally
round him all the old elements that
fous sht SO hard for him three years ago.
1t really looks al If Sherman was al
rsa"y out of the race.
The fact that our young Senator
Don Camsron--is the guest of Blaine
at his home in Maine, is looked upon
here as most significant. Don Cameron
was the man who prevented Blaine's
nomination at Cincinnati. OF course,
K-mble made threats, and Hartranft
believed it was his great popularity
that kept him a candidate for SO many
ballots, but the man who planned the
campaign for the defeat of Blaine, and
saw 1t was carried out, was young Don.
Things are different now, and once
Grant is out Of the way, We here feel 1t
in our bones that Cameron will be the
champion of Blaine. We watched the
two closely last winter as closely as We
watched Conkling and Mrs. Sprague,
and we could not fail to see that Don
had evidently made radical change
in his feelings toward and opinion OF
Blaine. And here want TO prophesy:
If Grant is the next President Of the
United States, Don Cameron will be
his Secretary of the Treasury. II
Blaine is the next President, Don Cam
eron will have his choice of the Cabinet
port fOli0s." '.

The Def.ctivenes~ OF sewers.

In yesterdays issue mention was
made Of the caving in Of twenty-five
feet Of tho Ninth street sewer. The
accident was undoubtedly the effect OF
bad material and worse workmanship.
What occurred to that sewer is likely
to happen to any Of the sewers OF our
city built previous to period OF from
say five or six years at the latest. Some
of them constructed within that limit,
it seems, are not exempt from certain
degree o. Effectiveness. In the case OF
Patrick MCCARTHY vs.. the City of Will
mingtop, the mode OF constructing the
improvements was very we'll ventilated
thrnugh the testimony ELECTED by the
opposing counsel from Mr.. Washington
Coz. a contractor who had been many
years in the business. He stated that
in building these sewers little cement
was us, d, mixed with foundry sand
The whole should be cement, but the
foundry sand, being the proper color,
and little cement giving the mass a
proper consistency, making the decep
tioa an effective one. "We usually
make the wall look we'll on the side our
employer $685." said he, ''as the su-
p-rintendent often lett US alone for the
whole day. On this sewer (thr one on
Maryland avenue,) the mortar used
was cement, lime and sand in equal
proportions lime is an injury to the

there had not been a good sewer bull
in Wilmington until within late years
and tb at seu ers 80 constructed would
invariably leak. Whether the Ninth
str.et sewer was constructed in tbi:
Imperfect manner explained by Mr.
Cox as being the rule in such construc
tion, we have no means of knowing
but the fact of its having proven une
ousl to the pressure to which it ha'
been subjected is proof self evident tina
the work there done was inferior.

ARCH BIS HOP PURCELLIs DEBTS.
A Movement to Save the Church
Prsperty-NO Present Help Tor
DepOsitOrs.


Dep.psitOrs.
indianapolis, Ind, Sept. lO.--Bishop
Chartard, of the Vincennes Diocese, TO-
day made an important statement to a
"Journal" reporter, giving his views
regarding the immense debt now rest
ing upon the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
He says that according to the most
careful estimates, the debt amounts to
over "a, 900, 900, and he has become
convinced, from conversations with
practical business men, and one espeo-
tally, who is himself millionaire, that
the collection and payment OF such a
vast sum ia altogether an impossibility,
as II is two thirds as much as the total
contributions received in any one year
by the Church for religious purposes.
His opinion is that the utmost the
Catholic people can be expected to TO
is to Contribute sufficient sum to buy
up the church property in the diocese
which has become involved and will
otherwise be lost to the church. To DO
this, about $3.50, 900 will be needed.
anh he suggests that there should be a
distinct understanding, that all money
contributed by the diocese outside OF
Cincinnati should be placed in the
hands of Trustees, and devoted to that
object alone, and that the legal obliga-
tion to pay all the remainder Of the
debt incurred by Edward Purcell,
brother Of the Archbishop, should be
wiped out by bankruptcy or liquidation
proceedings.
He explains tt at he does not propose
this plan with any other idea than to
settle this unfortunate business in the
best interest of the church aud all CEN
cerned, and says that when there is nj
longer any fear of harassing legal pro-
re.dings and the whole matter assumes
a business like shape further on, efforts
might be made with greater prospects
of success to raise money for the relie
of the unfortunate depositors.
At present, however, the money rails
ed is not likely to bs used to good ad
vantage. There is no preparation mad
to save the church property, and scarce
ly any relief is being affordedto the i'm
mediate sufferers. The Bishop suggest
that Arch bishop McCloskey, Bishol
williams, and Vicar General Quinn b
made Trustees, and be authorized t
have charge Of the funds contributes
Ity outside diocesps, and says that tn
Arch bishop and the Vicar General ar
beth in sy mpathy with the view h
expresses, relieving that such plal
is the only safe way out OF the diff
Guilty.

Several years ago Moore was lodged in

TO Byrce to sign his bail bond, which
Bryce refused to do until Moor. assign

THE CENSUS TAKEN.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 49, 1879.
The Superintendent of the Census Bureau has
issued circular in relation to the office Of enume-a-
tor under the Census law. in which the duties OF
that Office defined. and other information in
regard to the discharge Of these duties given. The
duties in the main are identical with those Of assist
ant marshal under the last three censuses. but the
provisions OF the law regarding the time and the
size Of the enumeration districts mako the office
differ widely from the former. Under the old law
subdivisions limited to 10000 inhabitants
while by the present law they limited to 1000,
and will be generally confined to single town.
where the number may be even less. BY the old
law, from June to November was allo wed for the
enumeration, while under the present statute 1t Is
required to be made in June, and in cities of more
than 10 900 inhabitants in weeks from the first
Monday in June. The aggregate amount of COM
pensation to an enumerstor cannot exceed 500,
but one months time is allowed. and the pay not to
exceed 81 per diem.
