The failures of farmers are becoming
alarmingly frequent in England. In
1870 they numbered 229; In 1875, 354;
in 1875. 4S0; in 1877, ATT; In 1878, s15,
and in the first half of 1879, no fewer
than GA In addition, the facts are
well known that farmers in many
countries are now losing their capi-
tai, that landlords find great difficulty
In reletting at any price, and that the
remissions of rents have only met a
portion of the difficulty.

the tide of immigration to the Pacific
slopes has greatly increased the rail-
road traffic, and this, with the inn

in operation another road to the Pa.

COOS BAY RAILROAD.

In the Coos County Argus of Sep
tember 18th we find an article show
ing that the matter of a railroad from
Coos Bay to this city has become so
important as to attract the attention
of outside capitalists. Mr.. J. C. Nc
Dougall, agent of Whitney Marshall
who have purchased the interest of
the Glasgow Iron Importing Com
pany in the Isthmus Transit Railroad
now in operation from Utter City to
Coaledo, has been on the bay
for several days. He made a trip
to the Coquille river, and up
that river a. far as Myrtle Point, in
company with Capt. Wright, first
commander Of the Gussie Telfair.
Their object was to look up the feasi-
bility of extending the road to the CO.
guile and up that stream to an outlet
in the Umpqua valley. It was what
might be called merely preliminary
reconnaissance of the situation, with
the intention of reporting progress to
the new company, and q recommends
tion, IL thought prudent, to have
survey made of the route. Mr.. Nc
Dougall expresses himself perfectly
that the road can be built at q COM
paratively small expense, so far as
his observations extended.

Democrats Who think the COun-
Gil Wrong.

Beside the Hon. Joseph ii. Williams
there are many leading democrats who
think the Council have no right to exclude
republicans from seeing the returns.
The Bangor Commercial of yesterday
reports Gen. Franklin Smith, of Water
vile. as expressing the opinion that the
Governor and his Councillors made a
mistake in not allowing republicans to
see the returns. The Commercial repre-
sents him rs saying: at seems as if they
"should allow candidates or their counsel
under proper restrictions, and in the
"presence of the Council, opportunity to
examine the returns. have made dill
gent inquiry among Republicans and
Democrats alike, simply with view to
getting at the truth, and find an almost
unanimous assertion that it has gen
orally been the custom to allow such
inspection"

Most Extraordinary Fraud OF
Record.
From the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune.
If the democratic party in Maine is not
about to commit great fraud, it is at least
doing its best to give the public that impress
sion. A number of republicans who have
every reason to believe that they have been
elected members of the Legislature, but who
have also every reason to believe that they
are to be counted out, have applied to the
Council of State officers for permission to see
the returns. So far they have not succeeded
in getting look at them. The Council
have been holding little election for the
Legislature in the secrecy of their own
apartments, and have calculated" the re-
turns---no doubt with democratic majority
as the result. This table they say, with
charming simplicity they do not regard as
part of the record" and therefore nobody.
apparently, is to be allowed TO see it. If it was
fair statement Of results and gave
the democrats and greenbackers an honest ma
jority in the Legislature, it is hardly likely
that they would withhold it from the public.
II seems that under the laws of Maine there
is period of twenty days during which errors
in election returns can be corrected, and il is
the general belief there that the Council will
prevent republicans from seeing the election
returns until this period has expiaed, when
redress for wrong will be difficult, if not i'm
possible. II this plot is carried out to the
end it will be one of the most extraordinary
frauds on record. Democrats who charge
that the Louisiana Returning Board wrongful
ly deprived Mr.. Tilden of the vote of that
State are still compelled to admit that the

The Attempt to Steal the State
Governments.

Maine dispatches show that the conduct of
the Executive Council in Maine, Tuesday,
toward the republican candidates and their
counsel, was simply outrageous.-Bo Boston
Journal
A more brazen attempt to steal Govern
orship was never recorded. 1t would even
have done credit to Tweed in his palmiest
days, to Tilden at the height of his ciphering.
The upshot of the nefarious scheme will be
awaited with interest. In the end it is sure
to fail. The Maine republicans are not the
sort of men that will allow themselves to be
cheated out of their rights. Jour
nal.
A gentleman in this State just before the
Maine election met State official who pre-
dicted to him that the demo- greenback COM
bination would carry the State, and gave
the fgnres to show how it could be done.
After the election the same gentleman
met the same official, and upon re-
minding him of his prediction said that it
would turn out true, and that it would come
about that the present rule would be contin-
ued in spite of the republican majority. This
is evidence touching the existence of con-
spiracy to steal the government of Maine
Boston Journal
In Maine the Governor and Council, ifthey
60 behind the returns, violate the Constitu-
ton, the laws and the presidents. For the
Governor and Council to throw out the vote
of town because one Of its Selectmen is
alleged to be an alien, to reject the vote of a
city because it is asserted that the election
warrants were issued few hours later than
the time which the law provides, is a viola
ton of the Constitution, which declares that
they shall not be judges of the election of
members of the Legislature. For that tri-
bunal to refuse to allow republicans to ex-
anime the returns with a view to correcting
clerical errors is q plain violation of law.
The difference between Louisiana and Maine
is that the Returning Board of the former act
ed within the law, while the Governor and
Council of Maine, If they carry ont the plot
contemplated, break all the laws and trample
upon the Constitution. Up to date, there has
been quite a difference between lawful and
lawless action.--Boston Journal.

Scion Chase Opposed to Counting
Outo

The Portland Leader of this week contains
a letter from Scion Chase, in which appears
the following in opposition to the counting
OUT conspiracy.
The greenback party will put its heel upon
all irregular proceedilgs-will not mix up
with stealing nor receive stolen goods. The
duty Of the Governor and Council is plain
and simple. They are to be governed by the
law and the constitution and not by the pre-
cedents established by the republican party
The greenback party cannst afford to adopt
course that must be defended by TECHNICAL
ties and special pleading. EACH HOUSE
