Each enumeration of the population of the
United States changes the relative strength
of the different sections of the country In
Congress and in the Electoral College. The
work of the census bureau has been so far
completed that it is apparent Ms the result of
the recent enumeration, that the northeastern
States will suffer n loss in representation to
Congress, that there will be gain in the
northwestern States, and that in the southern
States,as whole, the representation will not
be materially changed.

THE FEELING IN WASHINGTON.
Excitement over Confessions Of MOrey
and O'Brien. democrats in an
Unhappy Frame Of Mind at
the Exposure.
+ Despatch to Boston Advertiser. !

WASHINGTON, ID. c., November II. None
of the New York morning papers received
Lindsay and Morey's confessions in time for
anything but brief comment; but kilograms
received this afternoon say that great excite
ment over the exposure, prevails in all
political circles. The democrats here are
really much concerned over il, as they see
that there is no escape from the conclusion
that some of the active members on the
National committee helped set up this
infamous job, and have at last made them
selves liable to arrest and trial for suborna-
ton of perjury. The republicans here have
information that the case is rapidly reaching
a stage where all the prominent democrats
connected with the forgery, will be in the
hands of the law.
In the course of special to the Star ON
the subject the statement is made that the
prominent men connected with the Morev
Chinese letter are in ptiable plight The
lawyers for the defence have abandoned their
main witnesses, and while Barnum's unlucky
back is broken by the last feather, Abram $.
Hewett comes in for such condemnation that
his friends make the charitable excuse that
his mind has not for some time been well
balanced. Samuel J. Randall. too, comes
in for good share of the well distributed
abuse of all who have been connected with
the affair. Hewitt squirms with vigor, and
begs protection from the imputations on him.
He speaks of General Garfield as an old
friend, to whom he would not do any injury.
Here in Washington the attention of experts
has been called to the similarity between the
handwriting of the Finley-Springer anony-
nous letter and the Morey letter. Three ex-
perts have given their opinions that both let
tiers were written by the same hand. This
clew is being followed here with vigor

EXCITEMENT IN NEWBUR6.
Was it Murder or Accidental
Shooting

BANGOR, Me-, November II. Great excite
ment was caused in the town of Newburg,
early this morning by discovery of the dead
body of boy named Newcomb. He started
off cunning about noon yesterday, and as he
did not return search was made, which re-
suited in discovery of the body with shot
through the back of his head. He borrowed
gun from boy named Inman, who has
hard reputation, and there is a strong feeling
among citizens that lnman fired the fatal
shot. Others favor the theory of accidental
shooting. Coroner Wilson of this city was
summoned, and after holding an inquest re-
turned home this evening. He says that the
evidence is not sufficient to commit lnman
for trial, therefore he continued the hearing
for fortnight in order to get additional par

The Supreme Court of Maine has rendered
an important decision, affirming the right of
laborers to assign their claims for labor with
out forfeiting the lien which they personally
have to secure payment for their services.
Heretofore it has been question whether a
laborer could assign his claim for services
and retain his lien: and as many laborers
could not incur the expenses of prosecuting
their claims, the benefit of their lien was in
great measure lost. The decision, there
fore, is very important to workingmen.

VICTORY!
wayne Republicans Hold a JubiIee.-Ffxe
Hundred Men in Line

Wayne village, usually so quiet, was the
scene of grand republican demonstration
Wednesday evening. The town gave A
splendid gain for Garfield and Arthur over
Septem Der. Large numbers of stalwarts
from cut of town hocked to the village.
The night was glorious. Every house occu-
pied by republican, for a mile in any
direction from the post office, was ablaze
from ''turret to foundation stone" The
large wooden mill of johnson Bros. was bril-
liantly illuminated. Among the residences
where the beacon fires were kindled was the
fine old parsonage, birthplace of Names
sweet singer, Annie Louise Cary.
At Senator Berry's mansion a beautiful
young lady impersonifed the Goddess
Of Liberty. John Wood, Esq, coal and lum-
Der dealer of Lewiston, had tower of fire
blazing up into the starry heavens from in
front of his summer residence on Gas Hill
near the village. This could be seen for
miles around. The procession, with torches
and banners, formed in tine square, headed
by the Wayne Cornet Band-an organization
of which the citizens of Wayne are justly
proud-and marched through all the prnci-
pal streets. Halls were made at houses of
prominent citizens, and cheer after cheer
went up from thousands of enthusiastic repub-
licans. Five. hundred men at least were in
line. free picnic supper was provided by
the ladies, and was spread on tables in Mill
Hall. Here, after the parade, all repaired
and music and speechmaking were INDUCED
in till late hour.
