+.CAN .ICkET.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 2O.-Cases of
bribery and intimidation on the part of
the Republicans are coming to light.
Hundreds OF Democrats and Green
hackers were, before the election, threat
ened with discharge from employment
if they did not vote the Republican
ticket, and many have been discharged
since election for voting with the Demo
Gratis: Disclosures of bribery, implica-
are also being made. Samuel l.. Berry,
Timothy Clark, Chas. H. Holt, and
Charles E. Kendall, Of this city, have
made af1idavits before United States
Commissioner Badger that they were
paid SO each to vote the Republican
ticket. Clark says that he got his
money from the Postmaster at Augusta,
and Berry swears that he was paid by
Howard Mckinney of this city.
James Tryon and William Mahon have
made affidavits before Edwin Stone,
Justice of the Peace of Biddeford, that
they were employed by the Pepperell
Company of that town from March last;
that on Monday, Sept. &, they voted the
Democratic ticket, and that on the
Wednesday following they were dis
charged by the superintendent, k. Nj.
Hobbs, because they had so voted.
There are hundreds of cases of this
kind in the State.
In his speech at Bellevue, ILL.,, lately,
Hon. Lyman Trumbull gave expression
to this startling announcement: The
Democratic State of Missouri alone, in
which Mr.. Lincoln received but 17,02S
votes in 1860, furnished 199,111 men to
the Union army-a greater number than
States of Vermont, Rhode Island, Min
nesota, Nebraska and Kansas put to-
gether. Neither Michigan, Wisconsin
nor Iowa furnished as many troops to
| the Union army as Missouri" These
are facts, and the Radical hounds OF
New England should be made to realize
them by the result of the Presidential
election.-[ Capitolian.

Never be cast down by trifes. If a
spider breaks his web twenty times,
twenty times will he mend it. Make up
your mind to do thing and you will do
It. Fear not if troubles come upon you.
Keep up your spirits, though the day

Troubles never last forever,
The darkest day viii pass away.
If the sun is going down look up to the
stars; If the earth is dark keep your eye
on heaven. With Gods presence and
Gods promise, man or child may be
cheerful,
Never despair when a iog's In the air,
A sunshiny morning will come without warn

Mind what you run after. Never be

or a firewood that will end in smoke and
darkness; but that which you can keep,
and which is worth keeping.
Something sterling that viii stay,

Indian Images.

Some OF the Indians at Zuni. New
Mexico, having been converted to
Christianity. have no further use for the
images before which they formerly
bowed down. Two images have been
taken from an old stone church near
Zuni and sent to the Smithsonian insti-
tuition. One represents a man and one
woman. Each is cut from a solid
block of wood, with the exception of
the shield, the arms and the wings,
which ere attached. The man image
has lost his arms and wings, but wears
his shield intact. Both images are so
hideously ugly as To excite wonder that
even New Mexican Indians could see
their way clear TO fall down and wor-
ship them. Both of them bear inscrip-
tions which have not yet been trans
lated from the queer language in which
they are written.

ABANDONED IN PORT.
singular story of Il Shipwrecl> OF
the COast of MeNicO.

The steamer Washington, from Ha-
yana Cuba, brought to this port last
week, Chief Mate Poison and five sea-
men OF the wrecked Swedish bark
Constance, which was abandoned Sept.
10th, in the harbor Of Frontera, MeXi-
co. The Constance left HelsinbOrg,
Sweden, July 4th, with cargo of rails
1 for Brazil, and a crew of eleven men.
/ The voyage to Rio Janeiro was made
without mishap, but iii entering the
\ harbor there, the vessel struck several
| times, causing her to leak. The cargo
was discharged and the Constance pro-
ceedcd TO Frontera for load of ma
hogany. OF her subsequent abandon
ment and wreck III the harbor Of Fon-
terra, one Carlson, the carpenter Of the
vessel, gives strange account. On
the voyage from Rio there was consid-
cradle complaint on the part of the
crew about the work ut the pumps
which was necessary to relieve the yes
! sci of water occasloned by the leaks
made at Rio Janeiro. On arriving ut
Frontera the vessel had to lie outside Of
the harbor, the bar ut It's entrance pre-
venting her from getting in, and the
cargo Of mahogany was to have been
iioatcd alongside. The day after her
arrival some of the crew proposed to
abandon her. Capt. Tuvanson con-
scented to have II survey Of the bark
made to satisfy them that she was sea-
worthy. He started in 4 small boat for
town, but III crossing the bar he and
one of the seamen were drowned. \
survey was, however, subsequently
made, when ii was ascertained that the
damage to the bark was slight, and
that she was otherwise perfectly stanch.
Chief Mate Poison assumed charge Il
ter the drowning of Capt. Tuyanson,
and an attempt was made to get the
vessel over the bar for repairs. Being
badly ballasted She refused to obey her
| helm, and was run ashore. The crew
1T once abandoned her, and, so Carlson
says, an attempt was made to haul her
higher up after she had beached. In
this condition she remained nearly
three weeks, thcmen staying by her to
care for their effects and receive their
pay out Of the proceeds Of her sale.
On Sept. 10th, n heavy gale broke up
the bark. She was sold for SOB.
While the vessel lay upon the beach
the crow had made application to Capt.
Christianson who was acting as the
Swedish consul ut Frontcra for aid, but
me told them, they say, that they de-
served hanging for wrccking and
abandoning their vessel. With such Of
their effects a. they could carry, the
crew walked to Acapulco, whence they
were taken to Vera Cruz. From that
port the acting captain and four men
were taken in French mail steam
ship to Havana, where they shipped
for this city. They were taken in
charge Of by the Swedish consul here,
and will be shipped home, The Con-
stance was of $50 tons burden, and was
owned ny Abel Petersen, Of Hclsinborg.
