A Significant Election.

The election in the Second Congress
sional District of Maine ought not to be
passed over as a small affair. Its re-
suit is in reality of great significance,
and has direct bearing as showing the
drift of public sentiment upon the can
vass in New York and elsewhere. A
vacancy was created in the representa-
ton of that District by the resignation
Of Mr.. Frye, who was last spring elect
ed to the Senate in place of Mr.. Blaine.
During his ten years service in the
House Mr.. Frye had gained a strong
hold upon the District by his personal
popularity and his abilities as an orator
and practical legislator. With him out
of the way the Democrats and Green
hackers conceived strong hopes of sue
cess. The District is the home of Solon
Chase. and was the hotbed of the early
Greenback agitation which made many
converts during the hard times among
the poorer class of farmers, the lumber
man and the factory operatives of Au-
burn and Lewiston. The most widely
circulated Greenback newspaper in
Maine is published at Auburn by ex-
Councillor Fogg. who, it will be re-
membered, took leading part in the
infamous Garcelon conspiracy to steal
the State Government in 1879.
The campaign was very quiet one
on the part of the Republicans. They
relied chiefly on the strength of their
party Nationally and the fitness of their
nominee, Ex-Governor Dingley, the vet
eran editor of the Lewiston Journal.
All the noise was made by the opposi-
ton. At first the Greenbackers and
Democrats ran separate tickets-a
k,-nra ~ for fhn
membership of both org eanizations well
in tow, but shortly before the election
the Democratic candidate took himself
out of the way, and turned over his
following bodily to the Greenbacker-
no very difficult affair--for the Maine
Democrats have grown accustomed to
be shifted about and traded off by their
leaders in any way that promises sue
cess, at no matter what sacrifice of
principle and consistency. There is no
reason to doubt that whatever opposi-
ton exists to the Republican party in
the District was mustered in support
of Gilbert, the Greenback candidate,
except little handful of Prohibition
lists, who had a nominee of their own.
The result was the election of Dingley
by majority nearly treble that polled
by the Republicans year ago. In the
September election of 1880 the Repub-
licans carried the Second District by
1,446 majority. This time the Repub-
icans scored a majority of 5000.
There can be no two honest opinions
about the meaning of this event. 1t
shows that the Democratic party-not
in Maine alone but throughout the
country, for there were no local issues
involved in this special elections
weak and dispirited. and that Green
backism is a fast-expiring delusion.
The partial success of the Fusion move
ment in Maine last year has prolonged
the life of the Green5ack organization
there for short time; but whether
standing alone or in alliance with the
Democracy, it is powerless for further
mischief. The Republicans of the
States which vote in November have
good reason for satisfaction in the news
from Maine.-M y Tribune.

White Ants In Court.

An intimation of the mischief done in
regions infested with white ants, by the
wood destroying habits of these insects,
is furnished by a recent law suit in New
South Wales. The plaintiff, a contractor,
had received from the defendant in
structions to repair house which had
been damaged by white ants. AS the
work proceeded, the plaintiff found that
the house was almost eaten away by
the white ants, and that considerably
increased expenditure would be required
to put the house into thorough repair,
and he informed defendant of the fact.
The bill for the work done was disputed
as excessive. A considerable amount
of evidence was taken on both sides as
to the work performed, and it was stated
that an estimate could not be given
of the contract price of work, as the
white ants operate during darkness, and
the extent of their ravages could only
be seen as the work progressed. One
witness described the house as being SO
seriously injured that new material
would be required throughout, and the
best way to have dealt with it would have
been to put fire stick under it." The
estimated cost of the repairs before the
work was begun was about 81, $50. The
defendant had paid 81, 900 and the court
adjudged that he should pay $3.50 more.

Important Cases Decided.

In the Court of Claims yesterday, in
the case CT Bedloe, Nobbim q Co. VS.. the
United States, in which plaintiffs had pre-
viously secured judgment for 100000
against the government for cotton cap
tured during the war, the court set aside

and other roads generally. The decision
leaves the past and present rates of COM
pensation unchanged. After announcing
