BOLIVAR, Tenn, September 16.-Wil-
son, Lambeth and your correspondent
reached here last night. Wright came
to-day by carriage, and Edwards came
around by rail. All are in fair condition,
except perhaps, Judge Wright, who look
ed fatigued. Mr., Wilson is almost idol
lied here. Crowds poured In on him all
the morning to offer assurances of their
support. Five to one Of the dem
ocrats will vote for Mr.. Wilson
in Hardeman county. II seems
to be nearly all ore way here. Wrights
strength is nearly all in town and along
the railroad. He was introduced by Hon,
Horace Polk, and proceeded to make a
very dry speech against time. The speak
ing is in the courthouse, and the crowd
about six or eight hundred and very at
tentive. Wright's speech was received
without demonstration. Wilson was in
troduced by Mr. Lambeth and received
with spontaneous and continued applause.
He is speaking now with splendid effect.
Il iwards comes last and has regained his
veice, he says. Letters received bere from
all parts of West and Middle Tennessee
are highly encouraging. Wilson will
sweep the state like wild-fre Wright is
faiiius behind every day, and the peoples
candidate is ia The lead over all oppo-
sition. Wright is the man 10 got off the
track, il any are.

resided in that far away state, prac-

never expected to be elected, but he
would always run a vigorous canvass

Bangor club is still alive but the members
are inactive. There are over 200 open rum
shops in the city and several of the members
have fallen, and 1t is time for the reform boys
TO wake up and rescue their brothers.
Lisbon club was reported very quiet, but II
was hoped that revival would spring up soon
In Lisbon.
Camden club has lately been reorganzed
and it is in good working order.
Three years ago there was no temperance
organization in Topsham. Now there is a
good reform club, a Good Templar lodge and
not rum shop in town nor any one that sells
cider. A strong temperance sentiment exists
there.
The reform club has done good in Dixfeld
and is in good standing. The Ladies' Aid So
ciety is doing good work.
Augusta clup is working we'll, but the re-
form meetings are not very well attended by
the citizens. Its members. however, are alive
and bound to carry on the good work.
North Gorham club is in a very hourishing
condition considering the lack of interest dur
ing the yasr fe months Not member has
been lost but several have been gained.
Bucksport club numbers about 100 with 50
working members. There are about 60O names
on the general pledge. The club is in good
iourishing condition Meetings are held
ev ry Tuesday evening and Sundays which
are well attended, aud fourteen signatures
we're obtained last Sunday. Its success is due
to the Ladies' Aid Society.
Brunswick club has II active members and
about 400 names have been obtained on the

working members.
The Bath club is doing good and noble

stead Of a majority vote as heretofore, and de-
caring that the amendment, If adopted,
should apply to the gubernatorial election of
iooo. The resolve was reported by Republi-
can committee adopted by Republican Sem
ate ana House, and signed by Republican
Governor AT the September election copy
Oh the resolve was posted in every polling place
IN Maine, and those who were in favor of the
proposed amendment voted, Yes those who
were opposed voted, No. By Republican vo-
ters the amendment was adopted. The result,
however, was contrary to the expectation of
those who originated the amer dment. Instead
OF continuing Gov. Davis at the head of the
state government, this change in the Consti-
tuition placed Gen. Plaisted in tho Governors
chair he having plurality of the votes cast
ior Governor at the September election.
Now comes the Bangor Whig with the
suggestion: "The grave aud serious doubt ex.
'sting IN the public mind as to the character
and duty which the Constitution will impose
upon the Legislature in canvassing the votes
ior Governors doubt fully shared and admit
!ed oy those who are urging blindfold count
ing IN OF tn Fusion candidate-seems to us to
lmperatively demand that before the impor-
tant question of the Chief Magistracy of Maine
Tor two years is decided, the Legislature shall
iearn from the Court whether the Constitution
requires plurality or majority to elect"
We hope that nothing of the kind will be
done. The Republicans of this State, BY
whose votes the amendement was adopted,
threw their votes with the distinct understand
ing that if the amendment was carried it
should apply to the gubernatorial election held
on that day; and if they have grave and se-
rious doubts we think they will keep them to
themselves. They are the last men who should
adopt any measures toward counting OUT on
technicalty an opponent who received more
votes than their own candidate We have a
somewhat extended acquaintance among Re-
publicans, and we do not know of one among
them who favors such course

lied for the erection of smelling works in
Portland have met with extraordinary success
considering the dulness prevailing in mining
circles. The necessary funds have been raised

drawn, the machinery has been ordered, and
the building trustees, Messrs. F. L. Bartlett

the treatment of free-milling gold and silver
ores and sulphuret silver aud copper ores.
Silver ores containing more than 20 per cent.
zinc will be sampled and sold for the owners

A Souvenir OF the War.

Mr.. T. P. Rolfe has in his possession copy
Of the Winchester Republican, which was
published in Winchester, Va, by the members
of the Tenth Maine regiment which contained
many Portland men. The sheet was edited by
w. w. Knight and A. d. Newbold, and bears
the date of May %, 1862. When the regiment
went into camp at Winchester they found q
paper edited in the interest of the rebels The
publication of this was stopped, but with the
material Knight and Newtold, two Portland
printers, aided by other members of the regi-
ment, began the issue of the Republican The
paper gives list of the officers of the post,
the chief which was George L. Beal, colonel
commanding. The sheet contains the rules of
public order by which the post was governed,
story occupying four columns, three pieces of
poetry and various items of local interest
Among the Portland men who belonged to the
regiment are B. F. Whitney, Deputy Marshal
Black, Charles L. Walker, John Gould, Chas.
W. Roberts, W. P. Jordan, Herbert Sargent
and many others. This paper is Vol. /, No. /,
and as it is dated but two days previous to
Banks famous retreat, must have been the
only number issued. 1t is probably the only
copy in existence in this city. Mr.. Rolfe sent
1t to his msther at the time it was published,
and she by chance preserved it,

The Storm,

heavy northeast snow storm commenced
yesterday morning and the snow fell thick and
fast all day, rendering walking difficult. The
morning trains were on time, or only some ten
minutes late. The horse-cars struggled along
on wheels.
The trains over the Rochester in the after
noon were about half hour late, caused by
detention at the other end of the line. The
II. 80 p. m. train over the Eastern. from Bos-
ton, was one hour and five minutes late. The
Boston and Maine train due at 8 p. m. was not

main track at North Berwick ont of water. 1t
was expected that both the 5 p. m. and 8 p. m.
trains would arrive together. The Grand
Trunk trains were one hour and ten minutes
late, caused by the connecting train at the 9th
or side of Island Pond. The Maine Central
trains all arrived on time (for Superintendent
Tucker always makes preparation for snow
storms) and the train which left Portland at
noon for Bangor was reported on time at 6
o'clock. The Ogdensburg was forty-ive min
utes late.
The International steamers were not out in
the storm. 1t was understood the Boston
boats would remain in port.
At7p m. it ceased showing and several
stars appeared. Whether the storm was due
to the partial eclipse of the sun yesterday, or
not, meteorologists must determine.

A Boston Paper correctsd

A ridiculous story has seen the light in a
Portland paper to the effect that on the arrival
OF the frss Allan steamer III Boston, the prop
or papers could not be made out without send
ing To the custom house in Portland for man
to go up and straighten things out. There is
not shadow of truth in the statement.-Bos-
ton Advertiser.
The Boston Advertiser is mistaken. The
Argus published the above statement, but
while it was incorrect there was "a shadow OF
truth" for it. The fact is the Canada business
of the Allan line at Boston now has to pass
over the Vermont Central. That road was
unfamiliar with the bonded Canadian business
and SO was the Boston custom house. Conse-
quently Mr.. Whitley, clerk in the bonding
department of the Grand Trunk road here,
was sent up to Boston to instruct the parties
Here the business is perfectly familiar to GUS
tom house and railroads.
