SIR Is 1t not time to stop and put down
the breaks and stop rewarding tho enemies of
the Republican party? was in Meridian the
other day and learned that Judge Hancock is
an applicant for the postofice at Meridian.
He has been lifelong Democrat. After
the war he ofton changed his political faith !;
when he thought the Republicans would tri-
umph he was with them, and when he thought
tho Democrats would succeed he camo out in
a card denounclng Radicalism, and asking
pardon of the Democratic party, saying if they
would forgive him he would never again prove
recreant TO his political faith, He now holds
the position of Assistant Internal Revenue
Collector, which makes him good salary,
He has Just visited Dekalb, and while there
visited only the friends Of the Kemper county
murderers and told them he had tho post
office safe His nephew, Frank Smith, and
his father both voted for Tlden and denounced
the Administration openly, and applauded
the murderers OF the persons killed on the 10Th
of April, 1877, by the lawless people of Kemper
county. Frank Smith is also AN applicant for
the postolice; so whether Smith gets 1t or OF
Hancock will be benefited.

THE LOST cAusE IN MAINE.

The Fusionists of Maine die hard though
death is inevitable. As their end approaches
they have determined to secure some point
remote from the State Capital, where they
can be quietly and tenderly laid away, and
where they can enjoy the oblivion that
awaits them, and where no intrusive Repub-
lican will be allowed to come. After using
the sidewalk to convene their fiat legisla-
ture, which is struggling for existence with
out quorum, or even the authority Of law
if they had a quorum, a hall was hired at
Augusta for their purposes but the public
sentiment was uncongenial, and they con-
cluded to emigrate to some more remote
locality Portland signiiied its indispo5i-
ton to have the Fusionists injected into its
midst, and they had the good taste TO
accept the situation. They applied to
Biddeford, and that town, having II navy
yard at its back, consented to take them in
SO the farce of the Fusion lost cause is to
be played out in that town. which is on the
coast, and escape by sea-if escape shall be
deemed expedient in that directiOn-wll
be feasible.
The future of Fusion in Maine may be a
mixture of melo-dramu, farce, and perchanee
tragedy, for it is evident that this ridicu-
lous affair has pretty much worn out the
patience of the more sensible and respecta-
BILE portion of the good people of that State
The legislature is engaged in the passage Of
a law which will clearly provide for the
management Of the Fusion menagerie in
the future. 1t is more than probable that
unless this playing legislature on their part
is stopped aud these pretenders subside aud
disappear from public view, more or less OF
them will be in the hands Of the law Off
GERS of the State within a short period o.
time Public patience has been so long
trAed with that it is not reasonable to eX-
veot that il will hold out much longer

THE unconstitutonality of the existing
lumbia was plainly and forcibly elucidated
by Judge DURANT at Odd-Fellows' Hall last
night In fact, Congress was thereby served
with due notice that to permit our present
municipal forms to remain unchanged
would be to sanction an arbitrary and ille-
gal monsrosity. Now let Mr.. BLACKBURN
the recalcitrant suffragist, come to the front
and explain his present attitude upon this
question if he can.

OUR Democratic ex-Muyor BERRITT was 80
prominent, so acceptably prominent, in fact,
at the Odd.FelIows' Hall meeting last night
as to insure concession of the truth Of the
statement that our Home-Rule boom is a
strictly non-parisan affair. As repre-
sentative Democrat, and one not afraid TO
advocate the great principle of equal suf-
frage, he was cordially welcomed to the
meeting, and his presence accepted rs proof
that his philosophical interest in District
afIuirs has not been duled or overslaughed
by the eunuchism of the hour.
