Lancaster Inquirer, Rep.
We take no stock in Republican defense
or countenance of the ex- guerrilla and thief
john S. Mosby. The fact that he was ap-
pointed to Office by General Grant, and
afterward by President Hayes is eminently
disgraceful to them, and any apology
offered by Republicans for their action is
an insult to every Union soldier in the
land. If the government had hung Mos5y
at the conclusion of the war, it would
have done but simple justice to those
ord is among the most detestable of all the
vil!ainous scoundrels who bushwbacked in
the rear of the Union army during the
rebellion. We can respect man who was
a rebel soldier :; but a sncaking cut-throat,
such as Mosby was, can never havo the
respect Of honorable men, it matters not
what political party he acts with.

MONDAY EVENING. SEPT. 10. 1880.
Maine.

Maine.
As we write the people of Maine are
voting, and before another issue of the
INTELLIGENCER reaches its readers the
contest will have been decided and its re-
suit will no doubt be known all over the
country. The campaign has been the
most desperate ever known in the his
tory of the state and has been fought
with an energy hitherto unknown even
in the hot battles of that famous battle
ground. For the Republicans know that
if they lose Maine they lose all. Iftheir
majority is cut down to anything like a
merely nominal figure the floodgates will
he opened and nearly every state I'm the
Union will bc swept from its moorings.
The uniform Republican majority in
Maine in presidential elections and at
the gubernatorial contests, cores
ponding TO that of this year, is above
$1,000. Their efforts this year
were greater, their resorts to bribery and
fraud more intense and their campaign
fund larger than ever known. Their
majority should be correspondingly in
creased above the standard figures, UNI
less the prevailing revolution in popular
political opinion has oven surged over
Blainc's state. To let them down easily
the managers have been of late affecting
not to claim over S, 600, though the Tri-
Lune today admits that Republican ex-
pectatiOns run up to rs many US 1900
majority. Even that would show an in
crease of Democratic strength over 1876
sufficient to carry Ohio and Indiana for
Hancock.
Anything below $1,000 in Maine TO-
day is a Republican less.
Anything under 10000 Republican
majority in Maine is a Democratic gain
that will make Indiana safe beyond a
peradventure.
If the Republican majority In Maine
gets below 6, 900 such an impetus will he
given the Democratic campaign as will
sweep every state for the Democrats
from the Connecticut to the Mississippi
river.

WHAT MAINE MUST Do.

Anything Below $4,000 a Republican Loss
Maine las been one of the most reliable
Of all the Republican states in presidential
contests. 1t has been shaken down in off,
year state contests to $500 in 1858; to
G,OOO in 1862; to 6,OO0 again in 1869 and
to 4, 700 in 1876; but the Republican ma
jority in September, in presidential years,
started with II, ,SS1 in 1856, at the birth Of
the party, and ended at 5,459 in 1876.
The highest majority ever given for COVER
nor in September was 20, 4O3 in 1868. Tic
following table exhibits the majOrities for
governor and president each presidential
year since the organization of the Repub-
lican party:

for Congress against Ladd, and alto
gether one of the most violent Radicals
in the country. Magni6ed majorities
may therefore reasonably be looked
for as a part Of the organized Republi-
can programme. Our friends hereabouts
should keep stiff upper lip, for the Off
cial count is certain to show a very
largely reduced Republican majority.

governor in the election last correspond

Horse Killed.

Yesterday morning a dead horse was
found lying in the barnyard of John J.
Evans's farm, just below the city. The
animal had evidently died from the effects
of an ugly wound in it's breast which was
probably made with knife. It is sup
posed that the horse was taken there dur
ing the night by some parties who desired
to get rid of him. He was gray in color
and had four good shoes on.

AS Baker Byers, of Colerain, was driv-
ing down the Steelville hill in West Fal-
lowfield, Chester county, his horse, which
is a skittish animal, started to run of,
when 4 lincl,-pin coming out,a wheel came
of, throwing that part Of the wagon, tear
ing off tho bottom of tho vehicle and
pitching Mr.. Byers, his wife and child out.
The child catching on the wagon was
dragged some distance before it got loose
and severely hurt. The other two were
not injured. The horse ran on until it
was caught at Steelville.

MINOR TOPICS.

THE New York Sun demonstrates by
statistics that the state of Vermont has the
largest per cent. of crime, the lowest
wages, the least gain in population, drinks
the most rum, and has the largest Repub-
lican majority.
TIE Republicans are getting ready to
let themselves down easy on the expected
small majority in Maine. They claim
that even five thousand majority will show
gain ooer last gear, quite forgetting the
important fact that at the last correspond
ing clection-that is, preceding a prcsi-
Dental clection-thcir party had over Is, :
600 majority.
liz ALABAMA they have colorcd Demo
cratic editors, stumpers and Hancock clubs
in all parts of the state. In Montgomery
than the white, the Democratic editor is a
colored man, and the colOred Hancock
club has over six hundred members. In
Richmond, Va, the colOred Hancock club
numbers over five hundred of tho most
thrifty colored men of the city, and Win
chester has a colored Hancock club with
nearly as large membership.
THE Examiner announces that Quay is
not a candidate for United States senator.
OF course not. He was some time ago
when his friends who "vcgctatc'' around
the Examiner Office brought 5000 of his own
money or his patrons here to buy instruct
ing and bribe voters for him. lie was
when Sam Losch bulld0zed instructions
through the Schuylkill convention for aim
and when his friends sought and failed to
do the same thing for him in Bcrks coun-
ty. But he is not now. Oh no. lie
will not be candidate until after the Leg
islature meets, nor then unless his party
has a majority, when the Eraminer will
announce that he is the kind of u man it
likes to see rewarded.
THEY say Hancock was not at Antictam.
He wasn't, wasn't he ? In the two actions
which made up the battle of South Noun
tain II:ncock's brigade actively partici-
pated, and, after tho passes had been car
ried, the Sixth corps, with lIancock's
brigade in the advance, pressed forward,
and arrived on the battle field Of Antic-
tam at about 10 o'clock on the mornin of
Sept. II. 1t at once went into action to
support the right wing Of the army, which,
under Gen. Sumner, had been badly shat
tered, and was now hard pressed by tho
Confederates. Hancock's brigade swept
forward in quick time, and struck the en-
emy just as they were attacking some of
ourunsupported batteries-by which move
mcnt the latter were unquestionably saved,
for the onset upon them was asdetermincd, and
there was not single regiment of infant
ry within supporting distance when Han
cock came upon the field. Inasmuch as
the force SO promptly driven back from
our batteries were Stonewall Jackson's
men, the reader will infer that the work
undertaken was no child's play.

MAxcHEsrEr, ADAMS CoeGrY, Ohio,
January 2l.-The OHIO Valley, and this
immediate section in particular, is rich
in remainsoi that wonderful prehistoric
race, evidences Of whose civilization have
been pe.petnated in those curious pieces
Of engineering from which we derive the
euphonious name Mound Builders
given them by arcb@OlOgists. Within
the past few days wonderful discoveries
have been made 10 ibis vicinitY which
open up new chapter ia the history OF
this remarkable race, and throw much
light upon their manner OF living, their
social nature, and their physical charsc-
ter. In different sections Of the world,
At different periods otits history, there
have been found the remains of enor-
nous fauna and flora, and Of a gigantic
race of men SO rare and lar apart have
been these discoveries, however, that we
have looked upon historical accounts Of
them as cleverly constructed pieces OF fiic-
ton and been 10th TO believe that there
ever existed arace ofmenable to DO battle
with the savage mastodon or the fierce
inegatherium. 1t remains for Adams
county to come forward with a startling
confirmation of the Scriptural text, "And
there were giants in those days" For
in Adams county has been found not
Only the bones ola gigantic race Of men,
but their implements Of warfare and
husbandry, and excellently preserved
specimens OF their art in sculpture, paint
ing, engraving and writing.

unique design, elegantly chased. AT
each corner OF the msusoleum rises
carved pyramidal column, surrounded BY
ca ps that are nnmistakably Doric. ia
On Two sides OF the room are tombs OF
humber design. They are side BY side
OF uniform sizeyand twenty in number,
ten on a side. Like the mausoleum,
they are carved out Of the solid rock,
and embelhshed with bas-reliefs. Their
dimensions are as follows; Length,
twelve feet; width, five feet; height,
FIVE feet The tops are covered with
slabs, securely cemented. On the front
oil each is a raised scroll, covered with
written characters similar to those on
the panels of the mausoleum.
On the wall of the room opposite the
entrance are painted twenty faces
no doubt portraits of those whose bones
lie in he tombs. They are faded and
blurred, but still distinct enough to be
ecphered. The colors used are red,
yellow, black and white, and were evil
IDENTIFY laid on with OIL The portraits
are executed IN a superior manner and
the anatomical proportion Of the features
is preserved TO an exact degree.
After our first establishment over these
wonderful discoveries had in measure
subsidized, we seized the tools, and set to
work to open one OF the tombs. 1t was
no easy task. Our chisels would not cot
the cement which held the slab in place,
and we were at last forced to batter the
tomb to pieces. The walls were thin,
and lew blows Of heavy sledge-ham-
mer shattered the freestone to atoms.
To our great surprise there lay before us
not a few handiulls OF crumbling dust,
but, splendidly preserved mummy,
swathed in cloth covered with a thick
varnish, which emitted pleasant aro-
matte odor not unlike balsam OF fir.
The mummy measured, nine feet one
inch in length, and the cleth in which
it was wrapped, although Of coarse text
ure, was skilllully woven. One OF the
party cat the wrapping from the face'
but did it SO clumsiy that the head
crum pied into dust Portions Of the hair
remained sticking to the cloth, and your
correspondent brought some Of it away
with him. 1t is black, curly, and Of fine
texture.
Besides the body OF the giant the tomb
contained a spear-bead, Ratchet, two
lances, @attOcks or shoes, spade, cup'

and beautifully engraved with trailing
vines and wreaths. a square package
at the head Of the tomb, wrapped in the
vanished cloth, was opened aud found
to contain book Of one hundred leaves
