THE triumph in Maine of honest
money and fair and free elections, has
relieved much of the anxiety for the
future of the Republican party. The
Republican plurality of over 10000
would have been encouraging, even il
so large preponderance ofthe popular
vote had failed to elect the Governor,
but not only have the Republicans in
that State SO largely outnumbered
either Of the other parties, but they
have elected a majority in both
Houses Of the Legislature aud thus
secured the election Of Governor
This, and the election in California,
are but the beginning of an over
whelming expression Of the popular
will in favor 'of a sound cur.
rency, and honest and unconstrained
elections; are the first words Of the
peoples verdict against the shot CUR
clubs, ku klux klaEs and all kinds o.
bulldozing and violence in the South
and against Democratic frauds in
Northern cities. 1t is to be hoped
that the people of Maine will 90
reform their political machinery as tt
put it out of the power of a minority
who by system of gerrymanderin}
may have majority in one House 0
the Legislature, to dictate to the ma
jority who shall be Governor. Whel
to the voice of California and Main
shall be added that Of Iowa and Ohio

terrible rebellion may be able to Sc

weighed in the balance and foun

for one or two adjoining townships to
bear, the county commissioners may
assist such township or townships in
building the same, or furnish them
moneys to do so, out Of the county
funds, but repairs are TO be made by
the township.

No. 1S1, Tax collectors duplicates

one year from the 18th day of June

THE National interest in 1877 was

in 1779 $105,O0O,OO0; $13,9OO,OO0 of
an increase in time ofpeace since John
Sherman, took command. So much
for resumption. Forest National.
Now, we don't wish to be at all
curious or inquisitive, but, really we,
together with many others, would like
very much to know how and where the
editor of the National gets his figures
for the assertion. Will he be so kind
as to give them to the public, if not
asking too much?

Our Washington Letter.
Special to the REPUBLICAN.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IS 10.
The California victory, and Senator
Blaine's splendid triumph in Maine,
have given zest to the Republican
campaign everywhere unprecedented
in the history of the party. In Ohio,
in New York, in Massachusetts,, and
even in Maryland, our friends are at
work in way which bespeaks a great
advance in Republican power. Foster
will be next Governor of Ohio, and
the democrats are so we'll aware OF
this that Thurman and Ewing are
quErreling about the legislative elec.
tions, proposing to contest for the Sen.
atorship; but it is probable that the
Republicans also have that fixed, and
Thurman and Ewing can take back

seats for life. Cornell Will be Gov.
ernor Of New York, and thus forever
silence Mr.. Tilden and his man Rob-
inson, besides dealing a hard blow to
Tammanv. The Massachusetts Re.
publicans are more thoroughly united
on a stalwart platform than they have
been for years, and will bury the
wrangling democrats deeper than ever.
The fact is, the infamous methods of
Southern democrats are beginning to
tell upon Northern sentiment more
than ever before, consequent upon
Yazoo and the Chisaolm murder trials.
The Republicans here have all de-
termined to circulate the facts so that
the Republicans every where may be
we'll informed. Among other docu.
ments they have secured are the books
ofCapt. Wells on the "Ohisholm macs.
acre and Home Rule in Mississippi"
which they are sending out to cam.
paign committees and all who may
desire them. Copies will be sent to
any address, postage paid, on receipt
of SOC by j. W. Bartlett, 631 T. St.,
Washington, and other documents will
be forwarded at the cost of postage.
Gen. Woodford, who has just returned
from the South, says that everybody
should study this subject thoroughly
in order to vote intelligently; that
solid north is the only thing that will
cure a solid south, and that after the
election of another Republican Presi-
dent, an earnest, stalwart man, the
bulldozing element will begin to dis
appear from Southern politics.
Sec'y Evarts says he shall take part
in the N. Y, campaign and the Re-
publicans are bound to win. The
President and Sec'y Sherman are ex-
erting a good influence in Ohio, and
Senator Blaine will be there to help
them shortly, F[e will be enthusias.
tically received and do great good,
coming fresh from his extraordinary
victory in Maine.
Already there is talk of doing
something next winter for the extern
sion of our postal and commercial
communication with the countries of
South America. 1t is q lamentable
fact that the British merchants are
walking away with our trade in our own
goods because of the liberal aid given
them by their Govt, in the way of
Steamship subsidies and postal facili-
ties. Our improved machinery, our
boots and shoes, carriages, and all
kinds of hardware and cutlery are in
great demand in South America, but
our connections with those parts are
SO clumsy that we cannot sell, except
through British agents, and without
Govt aid, to Offset the liberal policy
Of Great Britain, and we must inevita-
bly, fall behind in the race for com.
mercial supremacy and industrial
thrift.
The National Fair to be established
here promises to be permanent sue.
cess, and the preparations are rapidly
nearing completion. Many members
oS Congress and other statesmen are
enlisted in its behalf.
The empty hotels and boarding
houses are longing for the return Of
Congress. Anticipations are lively OF
larger crowd of "winter resorters"
than ever before.

The Largest Orchard in the

The Rural Home is inclined to think
the very profitable orchard owned and oul-
tivated by Mr.. Robert McKinstry, of H nd
son, N. Y, is the largest 10 tho world. II
there is larger We would be happy to hear
of it.
The orchard is situated on the Eaet bank
of the Hudson River, on high, rolling table
land, and contains more than $4,000 apple
trees, 1,700 pears, 1000 cherries, 500
peaches, 200 plums, 200 crabs, 1900 vines,
5000 cutrants, aud 200 chestnuts. The
varieties grown are: Rhode Island green

ants, 20 ounce Pippins, Russets, aud others
in less number.
The pears are Bartlett, 3. d'Aojou, shol
don, Seckel, and Lawrence chiefly. OF
cherries there arc twenty eight variaties.
The orchard is intersected by roads over
six miles in length for tho passage of
wagons, and is bounded by continuous
row Of apple trees set ten feet apart for
four miles and half Tho apple crop of
last year was 10000 barrels. Twenty. four
men aud fourteen horses are employed haul.
ing out the crop or in blowing.
The success of this orchard has not been
achieved, nor is it maintained, without the
closest supervision and most industrious
work. The oldest trees are about twenty
vnaTa old Tho anil 10 dry rollino or,yoj
with some limestone; the trees are planted
twenty feet apart, and do not by any means
seem to be crowded. The ground is
plowcd several times n the year and kept
falIow; except when thought advisable it is
seeded to clover. Suckers aud sprouts are
removed as soon as seen; tho borers arc
watched and followed with vigor. Wires
arc used to reach thom in their burrows,
and the damaged bark is removed with
chisels.
