integrity by answering LOYALTY to truth,
offers the most extreme and trying ex-
ample to which human being could be
subjected. If there were any instance
in which a lie would be justifable on
the ground of expediency it would seem
to be this.
But even in such case, looking at
the results of lying still as a matter OF
expediency, where is the advantage oil
falsehoOd over truth?
lib telling the truth, she condemns
4 husband to merited doom, she has
simply done society service and her
SELF Justice. Ii by falsehood she saves
him, she consents to the union OF per-
iurer and murderer in the intimate
and sacred relationships OF husband and
wife. II any sane woman can look Tor
ward to happiness or contentment IN
marriage relations founded upon such a
basis. there may indeed be hope that
some day the lie will outweigh the truth.

THE REPUBLICAN FIzzLE IN
MAINE

At the inception of the difficulty in
reaching a correct result OF the election
in Maine, the Republicans made fero-
cious charge against the Executive OF a
conspiracy to do public wrong. This
was trumpeted all over the country, ac-
companied by epithets about frauds,
plots and all sorts OF wickedness, until
belief was prevalent that they were
having in Maine some fantastic tricksin
politics akin to those which have pre-
vailed in Louisiana.
The Republicans were demanding to
see and examine the returns, but the
State officers who constitute the can
wasting board told them they were eX-
aiming the returns themselves and
could not submit them TO Tom, Dick
and Harry until it suited their conven-
fence, and they had ascertained the re-
suit according to law.
The Republicans appealed to the SUI
preme Court. The court denied the
writ. and held that the Secretary OF
State is the legal custodian OF the pa
pers, and that while he is bound at all
times to exhibit them, yet the right OF
outsiders is subject to the prior and SUI
perior right OF the canvassing board to
have possession OF them for the purpose
of performing an official duty-that OF
counting them and issuing certificates
to those who appear by them to have
been elected.
Having thus tar been vindicated by
the court, the Governor and Council
have, it appears, passed upon these re-
turns with the law and Constitution as
their guide. Not only so but the returns
if is understood have voluntarily been
submitted to the inspection OF the Re
publican and all interested parties, and
the grand flourish OF the Republicans to
advertise the proceeding as revolution
arv, has not only resulted in a misera-
Bile fzzle but the probability is that
they will have to submit to the inevlta-
bic conclusion that an honest count de-
prives them of the great victory they
have been heralding over the country
and givcs the State Democratic GOV
crnor.

THE DARK HORSE.

Ben BUTLER evidently believes HIM
self tn bee the dark horse in the Presi-
dental race, or ii not the dark horse he
has great confidence in dark methods
for gaining seat in the White House
and he has 4 good precedent for his
position.
A correspondent has been let in be-
hind the scenes, and now feels at liberty
10 give to the world General BUTLEE's
Presidential plan. The great candidate
believes that next year the Presidential
vote, If there are but two parties in the
field, will be exceedingly close, and, If
there are three aSpirants, the third man
need not carry more than two or three
States To throw the election into the
House Of Representatives. Now, on a
Presidential question, General BUTLER,
il is asserted, thinks that he can carry
Maine, Massachusetts, ont, posSi-
blv. one OF the western states,
where the Grpcnbackers poll large
vote. This would defeat a popular cleo
ton, and narrow down those IN whose
hands the choice lay to a very small
number. This secured, Mr. BUTLER
would have recourse to what are termed
"Cromwellian manwuvrcs, and bythcse
would get himself elected chief magis-
tratc. What these mauwuyres may be
we are left to painfully conjecture; but
they must be something terribly ciicc-
tive if they can transform a hostile
majority, which is now rs hundred to
one, into a harmless minority. Mr..
"PLAN" BUCHANAN, OF Indiana, is said
10 be actively engaged in Washington in
working up this scheme, which will
doubtless astonish people exceedingly
when it is ready for public presentation.

ach is affected with loss Of appetite

A Use for Niagara Falls.

If we may believe Sir William
Thompson, the famous complaint
which was once expressed as to the
waste Of good water power at the
Falls of Niagara is destined to be
at last satisfied. Sir William, in
his evidence before the select COM
mittee on electric lightning, pro-
poses to light North America, or
a good part of it, by means of
electricity generated by dynamo
magnetic engines in the neighbor-
hood Of the falls. These engines
would not only light the homes Of
New York and Philadelphia, but al
so turn their sewing machines and
boil their kettles. This prospect
was at first little too much for
the committee, and DR.. Playfair
seems to have timidly suggested
that the Falls of Niagara were a
little out of the record. He evil
IDENTIFY forgot that Great Britain, by
means of Canada, has a certain
proprietorship in those fall, and
that we must not allow our friends
