THE MAINE FRAUD.

There can be no doubt now that it was
the purpose of the Democratic leaders in
Maine to overturn the declared will of'the
people, regardless of law, right or justice,
from the day the result of the election in
that State was declared. Notwithstanding
the declared adherence Of the Democrats
for Returning Boards, PGLL.sBURY and GAR
CELoN determined from the start to in
augurate Ret urning Board TO go behind
the returns and rip up things generally
with n hand so high and ruthless that it
would throw the exploits Of MADISON
WELLS and his Board in Louisiana entirely
in the shade. This has been done, undoubt-
edly under the inspiration of Gramercy
Park, and with money gathered from the
Democratic purse outside that State. The
law may perhaps abstractly justify this
overturning of the declared will Of the
people under pretexts set up to make
case, but the pretexts being fiillacious and
wicked, the case must fall to the ground,
and Mr.. GARcELoN and his conspir-
ators must be left without any cloak
for their infamous and unjust proceeding.
The pretext set up for reversing the de-
clared result in the town of Webster,
was that the return had been signed
by one man. Now the selectmen of
that town come forward and make
oath that they each severally signed the
certificate of the election. This knocks
one strong prop from the attempted fraud,
and if the case should be submitted
to judicial arbitrament, undoubtedly many
other equally palpable instances of wrong
would become apparent. Ex-senator NOR
RILL makes very strong and telling APP
peal to GARCELoN to submit the case to
the courts, but the purpose of the latter to
do wrong is no doubt so strongly seated
that he will spurn all appeal in behalf of
justice in the case. The determination 10
despoil the people of their rights under n
revolution ostensibly based upon law, but
which is sustained by the most vile and
shabby pretexts imaginable, may be
carried to the end, and the people may
possibly submit quietly to the result; but if
the party and men engaged in the outrage
expect to escape fitting retribution they
greatly mistake the avenges of time, for
they will surely come. 1t is foul plot to
steal State, and although temporary
advantage may be secured thereby, it will
prove in the end the worst investment ever
yet made by corrupt and people -delying
cabal. The worst consequences to the per-
petrators of this shameless outrage cannot
be avertcd

ALECK STEPHENS admits that General
GRANT could carry Georgia as against
TILDEN, especially if the person nomi-
mated on the ticket with GRANT should be
"a Southern man" Evidently Mr.. STE
PHENs has been studying current politics
from the standpoint occupied by Senator
CARPENTER when that gentleman declared
that nOn-sectional Republican ticket
would be inyincible. BY this he meant TO
say, or did say, in effect, that the Dcmoc-
racy with Northern candidates supported
almost exclusively by Southern votes could
lay claim to non-sectionalisn, while the
Republicans with Northern candidates sup
ported exclusively by Northern votes could
not deny the charge of sectionalism which
would be brought against them. But the
trouble is 10 find a proper candidate for
Vice-Presdent among our Republican
friends in the South. Judge SETTLE, of
North Carolina, or, rather, OF Florida, who
is frequently mentioned in this connection
is liable to the charge of having been too
much Of partisan on the bench. This

SOUTHERN KINDNESS.

The Southern people know what IL is to
have large black population. They have
dealt kindly with these black people, who
have been used as the tools Of Northern scala
wag politicians of the Republican faith to per-
secute the Southern whites. They were set
over them as governors and task-masters; told
to plumber and annoy and lie about their
former masters, aud to bear false witness
against them. But out of all this infamy of
Republican dealing the Southern people came
with brave hearts and strong purpose to better
their Ondtion.-LOuisrUe Comier-JOurnal.
1t is scarcely credible that, with a cen
tury of history staring it in the face our
contemporary could have uttered the above
paragraph without being conscious how
great wrong it perpetrated upon the
simple truth. The assumption that the
" Southern people have dealt kindly with
these black people," ten thousand in
stances of hardship, wrong and crime per-
petrated upon these black people" stand
out upon the page Of history to confront
the statement rs q graceless untruth.
Then, again, the plea that they have been
FUSED ns tools of Northern scalawag poll
"ticians of the Republican faith TO perse-
" cute the Southern whites is a declara-
ton made without the shadow of truth
upon which to base it. Once more, the
statement that these black people were
told by the Republicans to plunder and
"annoy and lie about their former masters,
land to bear false witness againt Them" is
sheer preteXt set up now to hide the
wrongs and crimes that their former mas
ters have perpetroted upon these black
people until they are driven to desperation,
and seek relief in emigration
But" says the Courier-Jouraat, the
Southern people came with brave hearts
4" and strong purposes TO better their (the
"black peoples) condition" In the light
of recorded history, written in letters of
outrage aud blood no truth can be found
10 Justify such an absurd claim. Let us
glance briefly at the story as history tells
it. Among the fruits of a war planted by
the Shareholder to destroy the Union and
oyerturn the Republic came freedom and
citizenship to the colored people Of the
South The charter Of freedom and suf-
fage was embodied in the Constitution aud
laws of the country. The ex-slaye entered
upon his new estate as freedman and citi-
zen, anG was entitled to all the rights and

IT has been misnamed coup de MdiH(e);
but coup de boomerang is better name for

those whom it is intended to injure, the re-
suit has been to cover the Garcelonites with
shame and infamy.

The latest complaint against General
GRANT comes from certain class of politi-
cal managers within the ranks of the Re-
publican party. These complainants are ag-
grieved because he will not tell them
whether he is candidate or not, or whether
he will accept or decline the nomination If
it should be rendered to him. This silence
leaves them in the lurcb, as they express it,
as regards the claims and chances Of more
pronounced aspirants. In other words,
they fear that if they go on now working
for GRANT" thereby opposing the nomi-
nation Of some other or any other candi-
date, and he does not accept, they may be
counted out in the division of spoils to
ensue under the next Administration. But
the mistake these gentlemen make is in as
suming that any work is required to in
sure GRANTS denomination, or that their
endeavors in that line will have any ap-
preciabe effect upon that result They evil
IDENTIFY do not understand that in this
GRANT movement, which is the peoples
movement, they are already counted out,
