Now for Maine.

1t is idle to speculate rs TO the extent of
the republican majority that will be reached
when the polls close this afternoon in Maine.
All the majority in excess of 5000 that is won
by the republicans will be a clear gain to the
CAUSE of nationality, honest money, free sut-
fraee and an honest count. The democratic
organs, conscious OF the results secured by
the magnificent campaign led by Senator
Blaine, are now falsely asserting that they
have all along expected a republican majority
of from 5000 to 10000. 1t is exactly as easy
for them to say this as il is for them to lie.
If, however, the republican majority should
reach or exceed 10000, as We believe it will,
northern democrats of any considerable in
telligencn will see that their alliance with the
sanguine supporters Of 'lhc Lost Cause" in
the south has been rs fatal to their patty as it
has been diSgracetul to their m"rthern man
hood aud patriotism.

GOVERNORS ISLAND, N. Y,
September, 30, 1880. {
TO Theodore Cook. Esq, Cincinnati. o.:

10 ileOdOre COOK. ESQ.,, CINCINNATI, o.:
Dear Sir:-Your letter of the goth inst. re-
ceived. regret you are disturbed about that
bug bear, ''Southern War CLAIMS" People
cannot be mislead by it. To suppose that
rebel claims, or claims III the interest of per-
sons who were in rebellion, can in any way
or any degree be countenanced is an imputa-
ton of disloyalty such as used to be made
against democrats even when they were in
arms defending the country. So far as it
touches ME | denounce it. The government
can never pay a debt or grant a pension or
reward of any sort for waging war upon its
own existence. Nor could | be induced to
approve or Encourage the payment of such
bebt, pension or reward. Nobody expects or
wants such an unnatural action. To propose
it would insult the intelligence of our people.
When the rebellion was crushed the heresy of
secession in every form and in every incident
went down forever. 1t is a thing Of the dead
past. We move forward, not backward. If
| were president | would veto all legislation
which might come before me providing for
consideration or payment of claims of any
kind for losses or damages by persons who
were in rebellion, whether pardoned or not.
In relation to the Union war claims, the gov
ernment's obligations to its defenders come
first. They are lasting and sacred. Never
theless our government has treated with great
indulgence the claims for losses and DANA
ges suffered by Union men for the military
operations of the war of the Union. But as
hestllities were closed more than fifteen years
ago claims of that nature now are mostly in
the hands of brokers or persons other than
the original sufferers, and are becoming stale
and in my judgment might fairly be consld.
cred as barred by lapse Of time, and if here.
after entertained at all shosld be subjected to
the ~strictest scrutiny.
Yours very truly,

from the Arctic, reports that nothing has been
heard of the Mount Wallaston and NIgilante

Corwin, owing TO the severity OF the past
winter and the tardiness in the breaking up

tinue on her GRAND. The friends OF the

though whalers are unanimous in expressing
the belief that nothing will ever be heard
from either them orthe Jeanette.

Murder mud Suicide.

ALEXANDRIA, Nov. ga most brutal crime
was perpetrated near Gum Spring, in Lou.
doun county, Va, on the Goth ultimo. 1t
seems that Il colOrod man, whose name could
not be obtained at the time Of tho tragedy,
lived neal the above.namod village with his
wife aud hor sister. A difficulty sprung up
between him and his Sister-in.law which re-
suited in his assaulting her with a large knife
used for cutting Off corn. He pursued her
into the yard, where, after nfictinE upon her
person numerous and serious cuts aud bruises
until he supposed life was extinct, lie went
into the house, and, taking his gun, discharged
1t in the air. He then reloaded tho weapon,
and proceeding to within Il few feet of where
his victim lay, Ito placed the muzzle of the
gun under his own chin and fred, the load
passing through his mouth tearing off tho
tongue and lodging In the upper part of the
jaw. While in that condition he observed
signs Of lifo in his dying sister-in.law, when,
with his murdorous passion, he reached around
until his hand rested upon large stone, with
which he struck her n severe blow in the face.
About this time the fiends wife made her ap.
pearanco on the bloody scene, and seeing her
husband reaching for another stone, she
anticipated his movements and seizing rock
dealt the PROSTATE man a heavy blow on the
head, aud thus put an cud 10 all further
struggles,
