THE AFGHAN DISASTER.
CONTINE NTAL OPINION.
(Fyom the Daily Ielegraph')

IN LHte0e A~"
,an 10 the one absorbing topic OF
interest here to-day. There is a
very general impression that it will
have considerable influence ON the
.ol,,t;on of difficulties in the East,
;nasmuch as the English Government
will NO longer be at liberty to take a
leading part in the pending diploma
,ic ca~paign. When the Marquis
of Hartington's penultimate state
,uent Of Afghan affairs in the louise
~ Commons was received in Vienna,
people rightly or wrongly imagined
hat the Ministry were DESTROYS OF
settling matters in Afghanistan as
sneedily as possible, SO as to give
their whole attention to the new
crisis in South Eastern Europe.
That I maintain was the view almost
universally taken in these parts, and
consequently it is quite natura! that
in presence of to-day's sad tidings
Il should be anticipated that England
will take up a very much less proml-
nent position in the future develop
ment of what is known as the East
ern Question. There 10 a school OF
Orientalist politicians in this town, ::ot
which many members have followed
with great minuteness the course OF
events in Afghanistan. They are
perhaps not all OF them as competent
to give a fair opinion ON the subject
as is Professor Vambery, OF Pesth;
nevertheless, it is worthy of remark
that they have Tor a long time ex-
pressed doubts as to the wisdom of
British policy with regard to Afghan
;stan. Their views frequently found
expression is the Vienna newspapers,
in whose columns the expediency of
the .ppnreeycipitate withdrawal of the
British troops was warmly discussed.
The recognition of Abdur Rahman
by the English authorities rather as
tonished our Austrian critics. They
are accustomed to regard him as the
ioster-child of Russia : and even ma
king due allowances for the proven
bal perfdy of his race, they refuse
to believe that he will play his bene-
factors false. by keeping good faith
with the Anglo. Indian Government.
Au,strians are apt to Judge Russia as
an Asiatic power by the standard OF
her dealings as their neighbour in
Europe. and their conclusions are
that at the bottom of England's trou.
BILE on her Indian frontier the hand
OF Russia must evidently be found
Thus, the disaster that has Just over

The Temperance Bill.

The vote upon the amended liquor law in
the House shows that the measure was not
regarded as partisan. Republicans voted
for and against it, and Fusionists for it and
against it. No objection was made to it by
either side because it was prohibitory law.
The principle of prohibition is recognized OF
at least acquiesced in by both political par
ties in this State, and has ceased to be
political issue. The only difference of
opinion expressed during the debate was as
to the effect the law would have upon the
temperance cause, Or as to the constitutions
ality of certain of its provisions. Some of
the most ardent temperance men in the
House believed that we have law enough if
it be enforced. That was the position taken
by DR.. Butler of Vassalboro', Prof. Young
of Brunswick, and Mr.. Hale of Ellsworth.
Mr.. Strout of this city doubted the expedi-
ency of putting so much power into the
hands of the Governor and Council. Mr..
ingalls, of Wiscasset was inclined to ques-
ton the constitutionality Of the Law, as was
Mr.. Verrill of Portland, who also opposed
the cider clause. Mr.. Goss of Auburn
feared the bill would work great injury.
to temperance. Mr. Dickey of Fort Kent
thought it was straining the bow little
too far and that it would snap. Speaker
Weeks believed it would work a step back
in the temperance cause.
On the other hand Republicans and Fu-
sionists favored the bill, and some of the
country members were very emphatic in ap-
proval of the cider clause. Mr. Durham of
Monroe, himself farmer, thought that
clause should be retained if no other was.
and he was heartily supported by Mr.. Sta
Piles of Parsonsfeld and Mr.. Emmons of
Limington. Mr.. Perry of Camden supported
the bill. After an animated debate the vote
was taken by yeas and nays, resulting as fol-

THE nomination of H. w. Richardson ESQ.

of him was a mistake, as it deprived the
government of theservices of an unusually
capable official. 1t will be remembered
that he was rejected by the solid vote of the
Democrats, all the Republican Senators

THE Argus objects to the confirmation of
Mr.. Richardson as Supervisor of the Census
unless Democrat is appointed from the
other section of the State. The same OBJ
lection seems to have guided The action of
the Democratic Senate. The Argus thinks
the President shows shameful PARTISAN
ship in the census appointments. He has
only done what the last Democratic Presi-
dent did. The census officers in 1860. in
the strongly Republican State of Maine,
were taken from the ranks of the Demo-
cratic party. The Argus believes Mr.. Rich
ardson competent man, but opposes him
because of his political belief. That is, it
now, as in 1860, wants the appointments to
be rewards for political services. But then
it thought the President should select men
of his own political complexion, and never
intimated that the opposition ought to be
represented.
