The 8 p, m. returns from the Maine cleo
tion are in from the widely spread points
and all indicate the vote as being heavier
than in 1881, for the republicans and the
probable election Of Robie at Damariscotta
and other points. The greenbackers voted
the republican ticket everywhere straight.
The greenback temperance independents
are reported insignificant. About 3 O'Clock
a heavy rain set in but the voting was prac-
tically over before that time. All the returns
received are favorable to Robie. Nothing
as yet has been heard from the congress
vote.
1t was stated in dispatch from Dub
| lin on the 9th inst, that Stephen D..
Meaney, the New York newspaper cores
pondent, had acted under instructions
from the American government in giving
notice to the magistrates that he would
no longer be bound by the bail bond given
| to secure his release from arrest under the
Irish repession acts. The state department
announces that Meaney had no such in
structions from this government. and
whatever action he took was on his own re-
sponsibility.

The September report of the department
of agriculture on the condition of cotton,
shows an improvement since the lst, in

South Carolina, Georgia, and the states OF
the gulf coast. to Louisiana inclusive. The
general average of August Is 81, and OF
September 92, which is the same as in 1880,
and higher than any other season for
ten years. Last year the average dropped
from SS in August TO 20 in September. The
state averages are as follows: Virginia 80;
North Carolina, SS; South Carolina, 95;
Georgia, 50; Florida, S3 Alabama, 9O Mis-
sissippi, 49, Louisiana, 50; Texas, l0l: Ar
kansas, 100; Tennessee. 50. These figures
indicate, as they stand, large crop, but
from every quarter comes the intimation OF
too much rain for heavy fruiting, too much
weed, some shedding of the bolls,
later development of bolls than
usual Under these conditions an
early frost would be very injurious. Cat
erpillars have appeared in many counties
of the gulf coast states; in some places the
second generation is webbing up. While
the damage is sunappreciable asyet, in most
cases fears are expressed that the third
brood may do great injury. The boil worm
| is reported at many points. In Dentou
county, Texas, their destruction is estimated
at 100000. The corn crop in all regions
south of Pennsylvania and south Of the
Ohio river is in fine condition. In every
state except West Virginia il is represented
by 100 or higher figures. In many DIS
tricts of the south the crop is reported as
| the best in twenty years. In the New Eng
lanC states there has been very sharp
decline, except in Vermont. From

Massachusetts,, 93 TO 20 In Rhode Island,
and from % TO 65 in Connecticut. A de-
