BANGOR, November 26.--The Whig
will Tomorrow morning state that
BOutelle, OF the republican commit
tee, has obtained positive evidence
that democratic managers have been
secretly substituting altered and
amended returns contrary to law.
The constitution and laws require
that returns sent 10 the secretary OF
state by the town clerk shall be
signed and sealed up in an open
town meeting. Mr.. Boutelle, the
Wing will assert, has evidence that
the clerk Of certain democratic
town in one Of the threatened cOun-
ties forwarded his return imme-
diately after the election in precise
accordance with his record, as late
"a the second week in November.
This clerk was informed by other
town officers that prominent dem
ocrst requested q new return made
as there was some trouble with the
returns from that aud other demo-
cratic towns. The clerk, it is assert
ed, did make a new return, which
was forwarded about the middle OF
November, in which he corrected
the errors and supplied the Omis-
sions complained of, although the
town record shows them just as they
appeared in the original returns.

The SituatiOn.

Communities, like individuals, are
presumed always TO be willing to
consider what appears 10 be for
their benefit. Unlike individuals,
they are more difficult to arouse to
action. The great importance Of q
public measure lie seen and felt by
active, enterprising business mon
long in advance OF its realization,
and for this reason mainly is it that
a community looks to them for
guidance in their affairs. 1t is the
attention of such that the JOURNAL
wishes 10 direct TO q few general
principles and facts peculiarly ap.
plicable TO the situation of this
community. .. r-
We are in the midst OF one of the
grandest agricultural regions ia the
United States; the chief market for
it's products is destined to be the
vast mining region in the west,
whose splendid future 10 but Inst
dawning, and whose millions OF
wealth are to be scattered among US
in exchange for the necessaries and
comforts OF life. We are. more and
more every year, appreciating the
situation, but We should not allow
the bright picture OF the future to
grow dim, but Oh the contrary go
resoIutely to work to make il a grand
realization, knowing, full well, that
1.-The Almighty helps those who help
themselves"
Nebraska's population has increas-
ed at least 100000 souls in the last
year, and, with the revival of bust.
ness in the older States, we may very
reasonably expect the next five years
TO exceed any former like period for
immigration, business enterprise,
and the development Of the resour-
ces Of our country.
In view of these things the JouR.
NAL wishes to impress upoA its
Columbus readers, and more espe.
cisily her active business men and
capitalists, the proposition that, as q
community, we are ready to take =
step forward in the line OF progress.
sion. Columbus heretofore has
mainly been depot Of exchange,
taking Of the farmer the surplus
products of his land, and supplying
him with such goods as he needed,
and which the merchant had pur-
chased of eastern manufacturers and
dealers. As the prime source of
wealth in our country is the grass
and those products of the soil which
follow the industry and ingenuity Of
man, so the chief sources Of wealth
to city are its manufactures and its
commerce. In this western country
the community which gets the start
in manufacturing will be pretty apt,
other things being equal, 10 keep 1t.
A good name is as beneficial 10 q
city as TO an individual, and when
once her manufacturers and dealers
are in the market. 1t is hard 10 dis
place them.
There is no resson in the werld
why Columbus should not take the
step forward, and make . start In
the road which leads to sure pros
perity. We have abundance Of raw
material here which we can manu-
facture into articles finding a ready
market at greatly remunerstive pri-
ces TO the manufacturer, and our
business men snd capitalists have
only to put their wits and their
pocket-boOks together to make II d
success from the very first.

The Germanic Hercules.

While Prince Bismarck, armed with the
powers of the new law, is stopping socialist
newspapers at the frontiers and socialist
subscriptions in the cities, as we'll as warn
ing socialist Deputies who are elected to
the Reichstag away from Berlin, he does
not pause in his herculean labor of prop
ping up and binding together the great
structure of the Empire. In. every new
movement it is seen how fxedly he keeps
in view that Capitalization which is his
ideal. His latest project OF q uniform rail-
way tariff for the railroads of the Empire is
something that travellers will be thank
ful for, but it is another step toward the
obliteration of the frontier lines Of the fed
Grated States. On all sides the movement
is processing Even the appeal to the
agricultural classes for support in his new
tariff scheme is intended to aid the same re-
suit. All eyes must turn to Berlin all
actions be regulated by words of COM
mand from Berlin, and Bismarck stands
ready to direct all, from the conduct Of q
war to the purchase of railway ticket

Investigate watson,s Charges.

At recent meeting of the Board Of Edu-
cation Commissioner Watson opposed a
resolution on ventilating the schoolhouses,
ana based that opposition on an assertion
that the agitation on the question had been
gotten up by certain inventors of patent
ventilators who had resorted to bribery to
attain their ends. Now this is matter
that must not be allowed to rest, and the
Board of Education should investigate it
without delay. When Commissioner sees
fit to make definite charges about brib-
cry, as Mr.. Watson did, the Board
cannot afford to ignore his statements A
public officer stands up in public body
and says that bribery has been resorted to,
and by inference makes it appear that this
bribery has called out action by the Board of
which he is a member. and no effort is made
to ascertain the exact truth. The Commits
sioners surely appreciate the fact that ut
terances like these of Mr.. Watson ought to
be made matter of strict inquiry, and the
people will look to the Board of Education
for such action. Let us hope they will not
be disappointed.

NIr. Campbell and the Death OF Max
imf1fan.

No gentleman involved in the details Of
an important episode in American history
is more talked about and less heard from
in these days than Mr. Lewis u. Campbell,
of Ohio. Mr.. Campbell, who has served
the country in Congress we believe for
about ten years, was more or less disposed
to serve it abroad in q diplomatic way in
the year 1866, and was duly accredited to
the Mexican President as q Minister of the
year. He did not hasten to his post of
duty-for which many reasons might be
alleged, some good and some Indifferent.
1t was not always easy to tell in those days
just where the Mexican President was

age whose dignity is presumably greater
while his energy is generally less than that
Of the knights errant of the press. Mr..
Campbell, however, as the Biographical
Annals" inform us, succeeded in getting to
the arm-in-arm convention in Philadelphia,
in 1866, and then he went down to Vera
Cruz as cold weather came on, taking Gen.
eral Sherman under his arm. But he never
went to Juarez. Juarez was not in that neigh
borhood. But when Mr.. Campbell was at
Brownsville he was not far from the Presi-
dent of Mexico, to whom he was accredited,
and he could have reached him without
danger or difficulty. He did not 90 to him,
however, and the annals of our diplomacy
would be the richer il the reason for his
abstention we're known; for in some revived
discussion of the history of the tragedy of
Macmillan it is pretty clearly shown that
