APPROPRIATIONS.

am not disposed, my fellow citizens, to claim
that in the ordinary exercise of It's powers Con-
Rress 10 at liberty to withheld appropriations for
purposes prescribed by law. We did not withhold
any appropriations the failure Of which, is likely
to interfere with any Of the departments Of the
Government in the exercise Of their ordinary and
necessary powers, We.meIely forbade the use Ofany
money appropriated for the army to transport or
maintain troops at the polls; and we withheld no
appropriations, except for the fees Of marshalsand
their deputies. We knew that all the marshals
would be patriotic enough to hold on TO their Of
Gees and draw their regular salaries, and perform
all their ordinary and useful dutles trusting to
Congress to pay their fee for legitimate service.
We merely resolved that the pu0llc treasure
should not be wasted nor the contcol Of our Slate

BLAJNE'S FAILURE TO CARRY
MAINE.
Substantial Defeat Of RepublcanIsm in Maine
No Governor Elected by the PeOple-The
Legislature In Doubt. but Prob
ably Republican,

The first dispatches from Maine, which are al.
ways more favorable to the Republicans than the
actual results ascertained by later news will JUS
tify, show that at the election held last week the
Republicans failed to elect their Governor by the
popular vote, which throws the election into The
Legislature. The Greenback vote ia reported 50,-
900, Democratic 2l ,OOO Republican 6S0OO-the Re.
publican candidate failing to receive majority
of the whole vote, aud therefore falling of an
election. Last year the Republicans had the Sen.
ate the opposition the House, but with Republi.
can majority on joint ballot This leaves the re.
suit substantially ss 1t was last yesr. When we
consider the, extraordinary efforts made by the
Republicans, the enormous amount of money
spent in the canvass, and the host of spes kers
they had from all parts of the country, and in ad.
ditiop that until last year their majority had
ranged from twenty to forty thousand 1t shows
that the days Of Republicanism are numbered in
