THE returns from Maine are all in at
last, and candid men of all parties will
admit 1t to be defeat for the Republic
cans. Mr.. RnBIE's majority reaches
only l5,ill and his plurality 1857. Even
the New York Sun published facts and
figures iew days ago giving the aver
age majority Of the Republican party for
the last ton years at little over 2l,0OO
votes. This shows a falling Off in the
late election from those figures Of about
5000 votes. This result will be received
with astonishmont when it il remem-
bered that over a quarter of million of
dollars were expended in the canvass,
the best speakers in the whole country
were sent there in larger numbers than
were ever before known, mems votes
were bought, and yet in the face Of these
extraordinary efforts the average ma
.ority was reduced over twenty-five per
cent. The State was conceded to the
Republicans by the Democrats before
the election, and only the usual effort
was made by the latter to poll their
usual party vote.

The above heading of our advertisement
is quotation in one of Shakespeare's
plays. But we take the liberty of using
it in reference-to all this foul advertising.
For instance, one will claim he is selling
beL0,o cost, and the other he or they are
the largest clothing house in the city, or,
in other words, as much as to say Will
give YOU their goods and give you a
basket to carry them away in, and all
such blowing, which does not amount to
row Of pins. We can not afford to give
our goods, nor sell them at cost, for we
must live. But our past reputation for
fair and honest dealing guarantees our
future. 1t is true we advertise, and that
extensively, but do not say more than we
can Justly come up to. We only adver-
tise to let the public knew we are still
alive and in the Clothing and Gents
Furnishing Goods business. b. II. Levy

LAID OUT BY A BULLET.
Policeman McCabe's Encounter With a
Tamacraw Rough.

Yamacraw Rough.
Last night Officer McCabe, while pa
trolling Farm street, ran upon a burly
negro named Reuben Butler, who, in a
state OF glorious drunkenness, was ell
deavoring TO take possession Of the entire
thoroughfare. When the officer laid
hands upon him he Immediately
showed fight, graphing with the
blue coat and fastening his teeth in
his left hand, terribly decorating it. En-
numbered with a heavy OvercOat and
other paraphernalia Of his uniform, the
officer was not able TO use his club effec-
lively, and was compelled to release his
hold upon the negro in order to do so.
Butler Immediately sprang away, and
was rapidly widening the distance be-
tween himself and the officer when the
latter sent ball from a 3S-calibTe pistol
in pursuit, which laid him out. Negroes
standing near who had looked on
ing to assist the policeman.
then came up and assisted in placing
the wounded desperate in a street wagon.
in which he was conveyed to the bar
racks.
DR.. Mcfarland was called to examine
the prisoner, and discovered the wound
not TO be serious. The ball had entered
the upper portion Of the right thigh, but
as it had become imbedded beneath the
thick muscles it was impossible to re-
move il.
Before the trouble occurred a German
lady had appeared at the barracks asking
for the arrest of Butler for striking her
while walking past him on the street.
Shortly after IL O'Clock Butler was
turned over to his friends and taken to
the hospital. He left the barracks with
loud lamentations and prayers to be
saved. as he knew he was done for and
was sure to die from his wound.
