THE result OF the Maine election, &C
cording to dispatches received on the 10th,
was somewhat in doubt. The first returns
indicated the election of the Fusion State
ticket, but returns from the back districts it
was claimed showed enough Republican
gains to offset the former. Ladd and
Murch, Fusionists, from the Fourth and
Fifth Districts, are certainly reelected to
Congress. In the First District both parties
claim the election of their candidate. The
Legislature is Republican in both branches.
There was large vote polled, showing an
increase of about five per cent over that Of last
year. In 1876 the vote of Maine on Governor
was-Republican, 1857 Democrat, G., 43S;
Greenback, $40. In 1878 the vote stood
Republican, 56,57s; Democrat, 1882;
Greenback, 41,4O4. In 1s79-Republican,
6S,766; Democrat, 21,66S; Greenback, Az

AT a consultation between Secretaries
Evarts, Sherman, Thompson and the Attor-
ney-General, it was decided that, as the
Mexican Government had signified it would
not be agreeable to have our troops cross the
border, but that its troops would endeavor
to aid in the capture of Victories band by
driving them back into the United States,
which it seems to be honestly doing, it would
not be proper to renew the request to have
the troops cross into Mexico. Reinforce
ments will probably be sent ut once to Grier-
son and Hatch that they may be better able
to guard the crossings Of the Rio Grande
and effect the humiliation or capture OF the
Indians.
