NOT HEARD FROM.
What Is the Fate of the Homing Pig
cons?
From TIE Mem YORK. Times.

From the Ee1o York Times.
Persons interested in the subject of
homing pigeons are greatly puzzled over
the delay in the arrival of the batch liber-
ated near New Orleans abort three weeks
ago and bound Tor Keyport, n. j., and
Brooklyn. The journey is about ,140
miles, an unusually long one. Mrs. Emily
s. Starr, OF this city, a lady who has taken
great interest in homing pigeons, and
who was editor of paper devoted TO that
subject, thinks that the birds are all right,
but have been obliged to feel their way
over strange country. She does not
think they were in a tit condition to I'M
dertake such a journey, as none OF them
had ever travelled over 800 miles before,
Ii is a regularity of the homing pigeon
that il will, if lost, retrace its steps to the
original starting point, and there allow
itself to be caught. From the knowledge
of this fact Mrs. Starr thinks that the
birds, if not killed--and she thinks she
would have word OF it II they were dead
are slowly working their way north
ward Another possible cause Of delay
Is the fact that the birds have to forage
for their food in the open fields, as they
are early trained not 10 enter barns or
Outhouses OF any kind, as they would
then run the chance Of being shut up. 1t
is, of course. possible that some one has
shot the birds, and not caring about noti-
flying the owners, has converted them
into an enjoyable pOtpie, and this solution
Of tine difficulty is among the possibilities,
not the probabilities.

The democratic papers sustain the
count-out career of Cap'n Chase of Port
land, whose name will come before the
Senate tor confirmation or rejection as
Collector OF Internal Revenue, by claiming
that the election of Plaisted as Governor
in 1880. was clear endorsement OF the
act of Garcelon and his Council-ot whom
Chase was one-in their efforts to defeat
the will of the people as expressed at the
polls in 1879. To secure Chase's confirm
alton they load this giant infamy upon the
democratic party and all who voted for
Plaisted. Well. suppose the democratic
party did endorse it. is that any reason
why the republican senators at Washing
ton should endorse it also by voting to
confirm Cap'n ChaseP The asking of this
question suggests only one answer-NO!
The outrage is no less because it was en-
dorsed by the democratic party. nor does
that endorsement lessen the duty of repub-
lican senators to oppose every agent of
this conspiracy against the sovereign will
of the people as declared at the ballot box,
when their names are presented before them
for confirmation to any important office.
The Maine senators know thoroughly the
history of the Garcelon count-out; they
can be trusted to do their whole duty in
opposing the confirmation of such men as
Chase and Pillsbury.

Then taking the three branches, William, Thomas

themselves back to their great grandparents

The democrats of Ohio are using every
means to defeat the reelection of John
Sherman to the senate. They attempted
to gain the legislature by fraud, but the
circuit court at Cincinnati. before whom
was presented the frauds perpetrated in
the recent canvass, sustained the case of
the republicans and fair ballot and count.
The democrats have now made an appeal
to the Supreme Court, which will be
democratic month longer, and hope to
find i. so subservient to the demands of
parlisanship that it will sanction the demo.
cratic frauds committed and give to that
party the control of the Senate. The
democratic party, North and South has no
regard for fair elections and will up
hold frauds upon suffrage in Maine or
Ohio as well as IN South Carolina or Vir-
ginia. Its hopes all rest upon defrauding
the ballot box.
