Comments on the snins Election.
NEW YORK, Sept. 9th The Isi-
bune says of the Maine election: 1t
would seem as if the returns of back
towns in PenOhscot and ArOostock
counties, and far up on the Kenne-
beck, where there are no telegraphs,
will be required to settle the ques-
ton whether Davis is elected by
the popular vote. 1t was in these
towns that the Greenbackers made
the heaviest inroad on the Repub-
Iican vote last year, and there the
heaviest Republican gains may be
look ed for. According to the latest
dispatches last night, the chances
are about even of Davis's election.
The writer thinks nothing will be
left of the Greenoackers in Maine
after this year.
The Herald says: The rain did
not hurt the Republicans for once,
as the Greenbackers' strength is in
the rural districts. Conceding to
the Republicans everything that
they claim, the situation 10 this:
They have failed to carry, after eX-
ertions unapproached in any pre-
vious campaign, and with the help
of all the great guns of the party,
State which for nearly genera
ton has been easily won by Repub-
lcau msjorities ranging from
10000 to 5000, and even higher
So much for Blaine. Now let the
Democrats Of New York press home
on Conkling AMI Vice-President
Wheeler.
Political Effect ~ sOu'icra Mar-
ders.
NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The San
says: If Henry ]. Gully, now on
trial in Mississippi, and his associ-
ates in the murder of the Chisholm
family, escape justice through the
potency of political sympathy, the
effect on the next Presidential cleo
ton in favor of the Republican
ticket will not be small. One of
the most powerful influences Oper-
ating to keep the Republican party
in power consists in the impression
they succeed in keeping up that
the lives and property Of Republic
cans in the old slave states would
not be secure under q Democratic
Administration. The escape of
Democratic murderers, where the
evidence against them seems con-
elusive, and where the victims
were Republicans, goes far to sus-
tain this belief. No Republican
orator can speak half so eloquently
for his cause as the gaping wounds
of the murdered Chisholms, unless
they are avenged.
Aueged Democratic Plot spoited.
NEW YORK, September 8 The
Tribune gives q rumor from Wash
ington which dlscloses nice little
plan that the Democrats had fol
securing control of majority OF
the State delegations in the House,
so as to be prepared for the emer.
gency of no election for President
by the people. They were going
to unseat Congressman Orth, of In.
diana, and put his Democratic con.
testant in the seat. This would ell
able them to control the Indiana
delegation without Orth. If the
California delegation had beer
Democratic, the Democrats
would have a majority of one State
and could elect their candidate. Al
it Is, the Indiana delegation will
only enable them to tie the house
for each party will then have nine
teen States.
The YazoU Tragedy.
NEW YORK, Sept. 9,-The Sta
has the following: 1t now seem
that Barksdale shot Dixon, afte
giving him full warning of his in
tention to do so, because Dixon hal
publicly accused Barksdale of
nameless crime with his own sistt I
Lamar was, therefore, entirely jus
titled in refusing to acknowledg
that the tragedy had any po!iti
Significance.
Mormon Preachers Whip3ed.
a North Carolina paper state
that two Mormons, preaching /
Cherokee county, made so man
converts that sober-minded resi-
dents became alarmed. TIL
preachers were soundly whippe
and the converts were tickled wit
hickory twigs.

New YORK, Sept. 9.-The Time
Washington special says: Evarts
supplemental decision in the l.
Abra case eXcites some criticlsI
here. In his first decision Evar
recommended that the case be sui
mitted to Congress for investigs
