that there is grave reason to fear that
the reckless and passive resistance

the British Ambassador to Turkey, will
be prolonged, and that the country will
continue to sink gradually, as it has
been doing the last twelve months, until
some catastrophe produces a radical
change in the situation.

be depended upon to vote the bill re-
pealing the McCulfoch refunding law,

Columbus.

The Columbus correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial of the 18th,
writes as follows: Matters are already
beginning to get into shape for the new
regime. Governor Fosters charming
family will be warmly welcomed
socially here, and will prove great adj
dition to Columbus society. And it is
evident the GubernatOrial mansion will
be the social center of attraction here
during the prevalence Of the coming
Republican Administration. That as
pect of the new condition of things will
be opened of course by the inaugura-
tion ball in the City Hall, This will be
given as usual under the auspices of the
Governors Guard, military combina-
tian OF the best young men of COlum-
bus, using the term "best" adVisedly,
They are young gentleman, of a mar
tial spirit, and devoid of political bias
within the organization. Nothing can
be said of them in adverse criticism,
except that they wear hats which are
gorgeous with no end of feathers, but
which are not in good lasts. These
young men will see that the ball is on a
splendid scale, and does full justice to
the great Republican victory.
The next thing will be a reception to
Governor Foster by Governor Dennison.
This will be a sort of politico-social
event, and all the politicians and states
men will be present,
After that Mr.. and Mrs. Sessions will
give grand receptions, at their splen-
did bomn m PPoa0 strnnt tO MI, Hoe
ter and family. This will be brill
liant society event. Thus with the in
auguration and convening of the Gen
eral Assembly the political and social |
season will be fairly opened.

Maine.

There is a good deal of excitement il
Maine, caused by rumor that an effort
would be made by the Democrats an(
Greenbackers to throw out some OF
the election presincts on account of pre-.
tended informaltes in reference to hold.
ing the election. The object is to throw
out enough Of the precincts to give a
majority in the Senate to the Democrats
and Greenbackers. This they will be
apt to find an uphill business.
An Augusta special, under date Of
Nov. II, to the Cincinnati Commercial,
says in relation to this rumor, that
the returns. would not be considered
open lin the sense of allowing any
amendment or corrections under the
statute) until the committee of Council
on Elections should report the results
of their canvass to the Governor and
Council, and that there would be TWEEN
ty days from that time for any legal
correction.
1t is rumored that the town of Kit
terry is to be thrown out, because, as al
legged, two notices of election instead
of three were posted. The throwing
out would change the results in York
county by throwing out three Republi-
can and electing three Democratic Sena-
tors, A similar case is reported in the
city Of Auburn, where, it is alleged,
notice Of election was posted six days
only, instead Of seven. If this is
thrown out, it will change the vote in
Androscoggin county. Similar changes,
on alleged technical grounds, will
change the figures in the State Senate,
and give the Democrats and Greenback-
ers 10 Senators, and Republicans 12.
The actual vote, as cast, gives the Re
publlcans 10 Senators, and all the 9TH
,rs II.
