nor Garcelon, of Maine, has done his
best to furnish them one, namely, that it
is constitutional, lawful and eminentIy
democratic, if you can get a chance, to
go behind the officially certified returns
of an election, and on the pretense OF
discovering technical informalities, throw
out enough of your opponents ballots to
give your own partys candidates the Of

therefore worthy of northern democratic
adoption.- Chicago Journal.

The manufacturing district of Manches-
ter, England, contains 976 cotton facto-
ries, employing 364, $40 operatives. The
reasons why Lancashire monopolizes the
trade in cotton goods are: First, the
humidity of the climate; second, the
operatives have acquired cleverness and
skill superior to any in the world. The
depression in trade and manufacture con-
tinues; and large class in that district
is seeking relief by emigration, many Of
these being farmers.

The high-handed outrage in Maine, by
which the outgoing Democratic Governor
of that State and his co-conspirators in
the State Board of Canvassers have arbit-
rarily overturned the Republican maiori-
ty In the Legislature, and given both
houses to the Democrats, by throwing out
returns by the wholesale from Republican
districts, on the pretense that such re-
turns were defective in form, is the gene
raj topic of discussion and Indignation all
over the country. 1t is SO fragrant vio-
lation of popular rights, SO villanious a
stretch OF power under color of official
authority, that it has been hard for hon
est and patriotic people to credit the re-
port. But it is only too true, and the
outraged majority appear to be without
any power of redress under the laws of
that State; yet the following extract from
The Kennebec Journal, which may be
supposed to represent the views of Sena-
tor Blaine, is significant, in that it plain
ly intimates that remedy will be found:
'Let the Republicans of the State of
Maine, it says, stand shoulder to shoulder
in resisting this great wrong. A way will
be found to correct it, 1t must be defeat
ed, or our liberties are gone. We will be
counted out next year, if we submit this
year. Besides, if it succeeds, it will be
tried elsewhere, to determine the Presi-
Dental election. 1t is part of a conspira-
CIV that includes the national Government,
and we must resist it if we do not desire
to see lawlessness and anarchy spreading
far over our land"
The Republicans of Maine will be justi-
fed in resorting to any means short of ac-
violence to right the gross wrong which
has been perpetrated, and we hope they
will be equal to the emergency.-Chica-

815; Ward, 4,144; Seymour, II, 441-ail
Republicans except Seymour. Mr.. Faulk-
ner, in behalf of the Democratic party
appeared before the Board of Canvassers,
and submitted an argument in favor of
going behind the returns, to see if they
could not possibly count Mr.. Hoskins out
and counted Clarkson n. Potter in, but
after listening attentively to the argu-
ment, they decided not to adopt the
Maine tactics, but to declare the vote as
it was upon the face of the returns.

Preparations for the proper decoration of
the graves Of Union soldiers at Chalmette
Cemetery are being made by Joseph A. Now
er Post No. l, g. A. B.. and other military and
civic organizations, that will reflect credit and
honor on all the honored dead. There can be
no chickering's concerning those who sacrificed
their lives for what they believed was right,
and as the blue united with the gray to give
due testimonial to the Confederate dead, SO
will the gray join with the blue to bestow an
eloquent tribute Of flowers over the mounds
that cover the bones of the Union soldiers.
The Louisiana Division of the Army of
Tennessee has appointed committee to visit
the cemetery and we are informed that q
very tasteful piece OF flower work has been
selected by the committee to decorate the last
resting place of the brave soldiers with
whom in days OF yore they fought truly and
manfuily.
The steamer John w. Cannon has been
chartered for the day (the thirtieth instantl,
and will take all passengers and invited
guests to the cemetery, leaving the city at /,
and 5o'clock p. H., and leaving Chalmette
at q and o'clock .. m.
Our citizens are all expected to join In this
holy festival wherein the dead will be honored
aud the bloody memories of the past oblit-
Grated.
