We do not suppose that every light
ming rod agent is swindler and ras-
cal, but at the same time as we have
never seen or known of an honest man
being a rod agent, we conclude that
they are all knaves, and it would be as
we'll to treat every mothers son of them
as Williams, swindIerS, cuthroats, forg-
ers and double dyed soulless scoundrels
who are capable Of any lawless act.
As man must be an adept at lying, a
plausible and sanctimonious hypocrite,
and unreasonable rogue, in order to
make success in this particular branch
of the swindline business, it is only nee
cssary to look at the average lightning
rod agent, to see the embodiment of all
that is villianous in villiany.
No little excitement was created in
political circles last week, by the an
nounccmcnt of the retirement of Sena-
tor Gordon of Georgia, and the substi-
tuition of Joseph E. Brown as his sue
cessor. Gordon had just been elected
to a second six year term and his resig-
nation created sensation. as it is an
almost unparalleled circumstance for a
politician to voluntarily retire to pri.
Vatc life and obScu.ity.

urday: A-.aia
The Louisville s. Nashville has Sc

The Maine Matter.
The Radicals Wear the Horns.

During The last week the reports
from Maine have been exceedingly
interesting. The Republicans, as was
stated, organized rump Legislature,
and although without the shadow Of
legality, propounded questions to the
partisan Supreme Court, calling upon
them TO decide between thetwo bod
les. They then adjourned till Satur-
day. In the mean time the Fusion
lists had counted two more members
in, making quorum, and proceeded
with the transaction OF business. Jos.
L. Smith, Greenbacker, was elected
and inaugurated governor, and full
list of State officers elected. Gen.
Chamberlain was then notified that
his services were no longer needed or
desired as military Commanders, but
he treated the order with derision
and declaredhe would only abide by
the decision of the Supreme Court.
On Saturday their decision was re-
ceived and the Republicans of course
were sustained on every point.
They then reassembled their rump
legislature and elected d. F. Davis
Governor, who, with complete roll
ofState officers was duly qualified.
Davis then took possession of the ex-
eeutive mansion, and was recognized
as Governor, by Chamberlain. The
seal of state was seized by the Fusion
ist secretary and at last account
could not be found. All the indica-
lions now pointto the ultimate tri-
umpL of the Republicans. In anoth-
er week the matter will be settled.
