HITTER IN THE nELLY.n

The Bangor (Me.) wing has ascertained
that the proportions OF the impending out
rage by the Democratic authorities of that
State upon the rights of a free people 4"
amount to the Acknowledgement of 16,363
voters in seven cities, or one-eighth of the
"total vote of the State, with almost 1000
Republican majority" aud that the fifteen
members of the legislature who are TO be
illegally deprived of their seats would prop
erly represent an aggregate population OF
76,O2s, or one-eighth of the total pOpula-
tion of the State, and a property valuation
of $57 ,204,759 or more than one'quarter OF
the total valuation of all the 0ssessablc
property in that commonwealth.
This is n bad showing, a very bad show
ing but not 50 bad as the Republicans ol

again without awakening the slightest re,

THE ANrI-GnANT CRUSADE.

If General GRANT is as unpopular as Mr..
NoRDHoFF, of the New York Herald, Mr..
SMITH, of the Cincinnati Gazette, Mr.. Root,
STONE, Of Iowa, and Mr.. ROBERTS, of the
Utica Herald, insist that he is, there is no
possible danger ofhis nomination as Presi-
dent in 1880. This should be q source of
unallOyed comfort to all these gentlemen
who are now engaged in whstling General
GRANT down the wind as candidate
though their apparent anxiety on the sub
ject would not logically convey the idea
that they are fully satisfied that their own
representation of the case can be confidently
relied upon. As we have said repeatedly,
the popular will and wish of the Nation
will decide that question, and if the people
want General GRANT, they will at the
proper time indicate it, and then those who
make haste to decry his chances will learn
the impotence of their own opposition. If
the people shall decide that they do not
want General GRANT rs their standard
bearer in $780, then his name will not be
mentioned in the convention, and perma-
nent relief will come to his enemies.
OF one thing the country may rest as
sured-General GRANT and his friends will
studiously abstain from shaping conven-
tions and packing delegations, leaving that
entirely with those who hold the political
machine at will through the agencies and
methods that attach to official power. If
delegates to the National Republican Con-
vention are "iixed,n it will be by 9th Ell
hands than those Of the friends of General
GRANT. They rely solely upon the pulsa-
tions of the popular heart, and lean their
hopes exclusively upon Il fair and honest
expression of the popular will, for his
nomination and election. They are watch
ing the popular tide which is their main
reliance in this affair, and its fowings, un-
tainted by the political and official machine
will bring the result they desire-the pre-.
sentaton of a standard-bearer who is of the
people, is supported by the people, and will
administer the Government for the peopl,
when he shall have been elected. If thi
shall result in the presentation of anothe
name than that of General GRANT--if tha
name is free from taint and il not th'
product of influences that are brought I,
bear upon this question unfairly--it will
receive the hearty support OF every Repub
lcau who has favored General GRANT
nomination under an impression that he i
the favored choice of the people.

ing is; The disfrauchisement of over one
million of voters, the fraudulent counting
out Of at least forty members of the lower
House of Congress, the usurpation of at
least twelve seats in the Senate, aud the
forcble seizure of at least fifty Electoral
votes, all done by the Confederate, Copper
head, Bourbon Democracy. And, what is
more the Southern exhibit shows for every
DISTINGUISHED citizen of Maine the bloody
corpse ofa Republican citizen Of that section
murdered for opinions sake.
We are not of those who are inclined to
taunt the good people of the Pine Tree
State with "reminiscences Of their indiffer-
ence TO the Republican party Of the South
in the past, and to claim that the eternal
equities are now being asserted as pun
ishment to them for their neglect of their
Southern brethren; but we do sincerely
hope that the trial they are now being sub
jected to will serve the purpose of opening
their eyes to the complete significance of
Bourbon domination in any and every Sec
tion of the country. This much accom-
plished, they will see that Cancellation, such
as certain class of New England senti-
mentalists attempted in 1S75'-76 and per-
haps later, was nothing less than crime.
But we must insist that the slight taste
they have had of revolution under the
color and form of law" is as nothing COM
pared with the murderous dose of the same
medicine administered by the bloody bands
of the State-Rights Opposition to the Re-
publicans of the South.

disffanchised, and the government shall be
subverted for year, at the ensuing cleo
tion the tide of popular Indignation will
rise so high that the Democratic party will
be literally swept away, leaving little, If
any, debris to mark its former existence.
We have great confidence that the curses
hatched by the Democrats in this Outrage
will come home to roost in abundance. So,
in any event, the Republicans cannot fail to
gain largely by this bold and outrageous
attempt to steal the rights of the people OF
Maine.

Graphic, the people will always turn to
him in m emergency and ignore the

IT is about time, in view Of the progress of
the suffrage movement in the District, for
some self-sats6ed political eunuch to rise
mp and screech out piping tones the words
" Feather Duster ~ And it is also about
time that the people of the District should
again be informed OF the fact that this SLAM
der against our last District legislature had
no foundation in fact. We mean by tins to
deny most emphatcally that the members
OF that body, with, perhaps, a single excep-
tion, were guilty Of the charges alleged
against them out of which grew the feather
duster story. The truth is that at the time
of the breaking up of the legislature,
and when the "spree" occurred wherein
the feather busters, the clock &c, &c, were
appropriated for other than public uses,
the members of that body were absent from
their official quarters paying their respects
10 the Governor and other District digni-
taries. During that absence some mis-
chievous mot vicious) citizens raided things,
as it were, about the legislative halls, and
the story was given out that the legislature
had dissolved in a disgraceful pilfering
scramble These facts have been known
for years, and are verified indubitably; but
they have also been ignored in certain quar-
ters, where the cry Of Feather busters I"
is supposed to be very funny utterancc,
and where q vile SANDER upon class of rep
utable and well-meaning citizens is often
repeated to serve the purpose Of serious ar

THE Southern GRANT boom seems to
have "died bornin'," as we expected it
would. II is nevertheless fact that the
inspiration of II, residing as it did, in the
idea of q true, broad and comprehensive
Nationality, still exists among the more
conservative of that section. They are
tired of wrangling over the Lost Cause and
attempting TO reassert the doctrine of
State Rights in the face of the fact that the
next census will relegite their section to a
lasting and obscure minority. In other
words, they propose to abandon a losing
fight 1t is a great pity their numbers are
not large enough to enable them to make
an effective impression upon the Southern
political situation. But they are not, and
the result is that the overwhelming major
ity of the Southern Democracy, for the
present generation at least, will continue
to vote as they fought" for the alleged
principles of the deiunct Confederacy.
