The Lewiston (Me) Journal, which is
edited by ex-Gov. Shipley, leading Re
publican, gives the Democrats great graf
ification by the announcement that the
dirty example set by Garcelon will not
be followed by the Republicans. The
rule that always prevailed III Maine IN
ill Garcelon's time, was 10 allow the
typographical errors in the returns to be
corrected. and this will be allowed now

cast for Harrison u. Plaisted." Such

whether such can be counted for man

afford to initiate the disreputable meth

strictly, fairly complied with.
The Rebels and their Claims
WASHINGTON, u. c., Oct. 1.-Gen.
Randall Gibson, OF Louisiana, says that
Gen. Hancock's letter respecting the pay
ment of Southern claims by the govern
ment will not affect single vote in the
south, as it is the steady purpose of the
southern people who suffered losses dur
ing the rebellion to demand payment of
Gen. Hancock, who will owe his election
to the south should he be successful, and
should he attempt TO thwart this pur-
pose the same power which was mainly
instrumental in making him can destroy
him. The southern people know that
their only hope of securing compensa-
tion for their losses through the rebellion
against the government will be through
the success of the Democratic party, and
they do not intend to permit such a
small obstruction as a northern Demo
cratic executive to stand in the way. A
prominent southern Democrat, referring
to the action of the state of
Maryland by constitutional enact
ment in providing for the pay
ment of slave losses by the action of the
government, and this within two years
of the close of the war, says that a SINH
lar movement is on foot in Georgia and
the other states of the south, but, as far
as he is advised, not 10 the extent of the
publicity of provision in the state con-
stitution. He says that it is generally true
that southern planters and others who
lost their slaves have 4 record of them,
and the valuation placed on each man,
woman and child at the time. and, when
81, a., I'll, l..
means the election of Democrats TO the
control of the government, these will be
submitted to the proper tribunal, and, if
necessary. TO the supreme court of the
United States, and the southern claims
commission will be reorgaDized, abol-
ished and reoTganiZed, or enlarged so rs
to give the Democratic party the con-
troll, and thus, by subverting these judi
cial tribunals to partisan purposes, find
willing instrument to approve all leg
islation promoting the payment of these
claims.
Secretary Evarts at Cooper Institute.
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-The great hall
of Cooper Institute was filled tonight
upon the occasion of Republican mass
meeting. Hugh Mccullough, ex-secre.
tarY of the treasury, presided, and said
he would not have been among the

result in evil TO the country.
