Although, neither California nor Maine hau
pronounce J a verdict of much political signifi
cance it were unwise to disregard the lessona
which both read to the Republican party.
There is not in either any real evidence of
reaction in public eentimeut; but the defeat of
the party ticket in one ca,e and the reduced
majority with whi.h it triumphs in the .ther
re circumsUnoes which those who would
exclude the Democrats from power may
wisely heed.
The daDKrs which threaten the Republican
nB9 ,re the products of great strength and
the overweening confldenoe which it has en
rendered. There is a disposition in sections
of the party to be intolerant in respect of the
pinions and measures which shall be sus
tained by its members. In seme instances the
minority have insisted upon the adoption of
their views bv the majority, literally claiming
the right to dictate the policy and to enlarge
the platform of the party without reference to
the judgment or convictions of others. A com
paratively small number have more than once
undertaken to regulate the standard for the
whole, and to read out of the party all who
refused to pronounce their shibboleth. Or
ganization has thus been managed in the inte
rest of individuals rather than in conformity
with the recorded purposes of the aggregate of
its members.
California has told us with what result un
scrupulous combination and intrigue are fol
lowed when they obtain control of the party
machinery. We have been usefully reminded
that, though knavery and presumption win
in the making of nominations, the people will
resent the fraud, and assert their supremacy
in their own way. The managers of nomina
tions may frame a ticket to suit their own
ends, but they must not rely on the rank and
file for its ratification. To secure their hearty
and united power, the candidates put forward
must command their confidence.
In Maine the lesson, though different, is not
less clear or emphatic. The Democratic) vote
shows a gain and the Republican a falling off,
not as a consequenoe of revolt within the Re
publican party against its national policy, but
confessedly and solely because of an unpopular
local issue thrust upon the party by a vigorous
and determined minority. Prohibition is not
a political issue, and it is not one which tbe
Republican party as such can carry without
an obvious risk of defeat. The fact that the
Republicans of Maine have achieved victory
in spite of the disadvantage at which they
Were placed by one portion of their body, is,
perhaps, the strongest tribute to their strength
that could be afforded. It is at any rate proof
that the cry of reaction which Maine is repre
sented as having echoed, is at variance with
the admitted character of the contest.
The local writers of all shades of opinion
concur in rendering this as the explanation of
the changes exhibited by the vote on Monday.
The Augusta correspondent of the Boston
Advertiser a known and earnest Republican
declares that the "sole cause of the loss to
the Republicans is the Liquor law and the Con
stabulary law, passed by the last Legislature."
"Many Republicans," he adds, "were entirely
apathetic as to the result, and not a few voted
directly with the Democrats on the liquor
issue." Democratic correspondents frankly
proclaim the same story. The Portland
despatch to the Boston Post asserts that "all
the tickets for members of the Legislature
are more or less split up, the division
arising in consequence of the unpopular and
unrighteous provisions of the Prohibitory
law." No other cause is assigned no other
form of reaction claimed. The Boston Herald
makes a similar admission. Its Augusta des
patch has this remark: "The ill-advised and
inopportune legislation of last winter, by the
enactment of the Prohibitory and Constabu
lary laws, was the means of thousands of
Republicans casting their votes for candi
dates in favor of a repeal of those obnoxious
statutes." Upon this head no room is left for
doubt. The Democratic gain springs from a
single local Question, bavin? no relation to
tha policy by which, the Republican party
should be judged, and in no respect indicat
ing abatement of the firmness with which
Congress and its measures are sustained by the
State.
There is a warning in the case, however, by
which Republican leaders in other States
should not fail to profit. With all its strength,
the party cannot afford to be made responsible
for irrelevant issues, or to be Baddled with the
odium which attaches to all the theories and
crotchets of zealous but intolerant minorities.
The motives which lead to concession on the
part of majorities are usually good. They are
threatened with divisions, and yield to pre
serve party unity. Their experience in Maine
will not be too dearly purchased if it suggest
to extremists the wisdom of forbearance and
moderation, and to the great body of the party
the peril of tampering with the authorized
standard of national policy in obedience to the
local demands of an aggressive minority.
An Extraordinary Will Caee.
from the 2V. Y. Iribune.
One of the most remarkable cases on record,
destined to rank high among the Causes
CtUbres, is now the talk of Boston. The evi
dence, taken before examiners some months
since, but only just published, fills a large
Yolunie of a thousand pages. Tbe amount
involved exceeds a million of dollars. The
arenrrmnta 4n tii ah before the United
States Circuit Court. Justice Clifford presiding
commenced last Friday. It is a suit m
onitv. TTttv II. Robinson against
Thomas Mandll and others. Miss Robinson
(now Mrs. Greene) was, previous to her

who died

will nA fldioll Miss Howland disposed of

kiL: 115.000 to her physioian, Dr.

5-iiiv00 for public and charitable purposes

of ber estate, amounting, it is said, to about a
million, was to be placed in trust, the income

. Lutator'a relatives. Miss Robinson con-i
tests ber a'unt'B will. This is, in itself, re
h. seeinir that the young lady

u der it, to aa annuity that would add some
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPHPHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY,
(00,000 or f 70,000 to her annual Itioome. What
she contends for is the whole of her auat's
state, in fee, supposed to be worth about two
millions.
The ground upon which she contests the
above will and codicil ie noteworthy. It seems
that Miss Howland had quarrelled with her
brother-in-law, the father of Miss Robinson,
and being resolved, if possible, to exolnde
him from all share not only of her own pro
perty, but of his daughter's also, she pro
pound, about September, 18G0, to her neioe,
then about twenty-three years old, that if she
(Miss Robinson) would make a will so that
her father should inherit no part of her pro
perty, she (Miss Howland) would, in return,
make a will leaving everything to
her niece, the will of each to be depo
sited with the other, and neither to make
any other will without notice to the other, and
returning to that other her will. Miss Robin
son agreed to this, and tbe wills were exe
cuted accordingly. But the subsequent will
and codicil made by the aunt in 1803 and
1864 were executed without notice to the
niece. Thus arose a question of law. a novel
question in the courts of this country, namely,
whether a contraot for mutual wills, if proved,
can be enforced as being without consideration
and against publio policy and good morals.
But the most singular feature in this case
still remains to be stated. To the will origi
nally made by Miss Rowland in favor of her
niece there is an addition, sewed in with line
thread to the page, not changing any provi
sion of the will, but a sort of protest by the
testator against the validity of any subsequent
will which she, under undue inlluence from
those around her, might be induced to make.
Part of the text is: "I implore the Judge to
decide in favor of this will, as nothing could
induce me to make a will unfavorable to my
niece; but being ill, and afraid, if any of my
caretakers insisted on my making a will, to
refuse, as they might leave me or be angry,
I give this will to my niece to show, if
absolutely necessary to have it appear against
another will found after my death." Miss
Robinson testifies under oath, that she wrote
this appendage to the will at the suggestion of
her aunt, and that her aunt signed it in dupli
cate in her presence. The defense to this is
nothing less than a charge of forgery. It is
denied that the signature to this additional
page is genuine, and alleged that it was copied
by tracing from a signature (admitted to be
genuine) of the testator to the original will to
which this appendage is found stitched. This
opens up a wide field, in which not only ques
tions of law but of science, and even of art,
come up. On the question of forgery both
parties have spent much time and labor. Two
skilful photographers have been employed for
weeks, and experts have expended months in
procuring and comparing, iu a great number
ot cases, numerous signatures by the same
person, so as to determine the chances that
any one person should write three signatures
exactly alike. The testimony is to the effect
that Miss ilowland's signature to the original
and genuine will, and the two signatures te
the appended paper, executed in duplicate,
are in every letter and line and in the spaces
between the three words, Sylvia Ann Howland,
so precisely coincident, so identioal in fact,
that nothing but a deliberate purpose
to make them so can explain the phe
nomenon. Mr. Cross man, for the defense,
testifies that he has spent nearly five months
in examining many hundreds of signatures of
many well-known persons; comparing the
coincidence by superimposing one on the other
on a glass in front ot a window, and also by
tracing and superimposing the tracings. lie
says there was greater similarity in Miss Ilow
land's signatures, forty or fifty of which he
compared with each other, than in any other
case; and he considers the two signatures to
the detached sheets to be genuine. On the
other hand Mr. Southworth, after similar re
search, declares that the three signatures coin
cide with mathematical accuracy, not only
letter for letter and space for space, but also
that each has the same slant to the base line of
each paper, so that the eye sees them parallel.
His testimony covers fifty pages, and he pro
nounces the two contested signatures to be
forgeries, executed by tracing.
But the most curious and interesting testi
mony of the whole is that of Professor Benja
min Peirce of Harvard College, Superintendent
of the Coast Survey, and one of the best mathe
maticians of the age, 'upon the doctrine of
chances. He said: "He had a large expe
rience relating to the computation of chances ;
that the mathematical discussion of the sub-
jeot of coincidence of signatures had never,
to his Knowledge, been proposed, dui mat it
was not diffioult, and a numerical expression
applicable to this problem, the correctness of
which would be recegnized by all the mathe
maticians in the world, could readily be ob
tained." Then, having ascertained tne rela
tive frequency of coincidence by comparing
numerous signatures of Miss Howland to inus oi
sale of vessels, etc., he concludes mat. in ner
case, "this phenomenon (of coincidence)
could occur only once in two thousand six
hundred and sixty-six millions of milUons or
millions of times, or 2,666,000,000,000,000,-
000 000." "This number," me rroiesaor
marks, "far transcends human experience.

Congress and tha People.
From the N. Y. Herald.
The very serious and critical aspeot of our
national affairs is beginning to fill the publio
mind with sad forebodings. It is doubtful
whether in the darkest days of. the late civil
war the publio pulse ever indicated a worse
condition of things than it now does. Men ask
each other when they meet how the political
problem is to be solved,- and all confess" their
inability to supply a Satisfactory answer. Iu
tbe meantime commerce, languishes,. the reve
nue diminishes, the credit of the Government
as expressed in the relations of gold to our
reucy wanes, and the Southern section of the
country, which formerly, tbrongh its staple
products, added so largely to the wealth of the
whole nation, is no longer a source of pros
perity, but of expense and trouble; and all
because, after having made every sacrifice to
put down the Rebllion, we were not willing,
after it was put down, to sacrifice party preju
dices in order to sanotify and make lasting the
work which our armies had accomplished.
Every one knows that it is iu the interest of
party alone that the reconstruction of the
South has been delayed and prevented. No
matter how men may attempt to explain and
defend the action of Congress in the matter,
the plain,' simple truth forces itself on the
mind at the last, that the object of all legisla
tion on the subject has been to render impos
sible the readmission of the Southern States
into the Union. That object has been thus far
attained; and from present appearances it
would be perfectly safe to say that, should the
Republican party retain its present ascend
ancy, the present generation will not see the
Southern States restored to the Union on the
same footing as the other States. It may be
that some or all of them will, in the course of a
few years, go through the form of reinstate
ment, but it will oi ly be a mere sham and de
lusion a gross mockery. The right of self
government will have been denied to the men
of our own race in those States, and political
power will have been handed over to the de
scendants of Congo Bavages. That is the only
sort of restoration which is contemplated by
Congress; and improbable as that may seem,
there is an evident intent on the part of Con
gress to carry out that programme.
But will the people of the United States
consent to such a degradation of their great
republio f Even if the inhabitants of the
Northern States entertained no feeling towards
the white men and women and children of the
South but that of hate (whioh, we thank God,
is far from being the case), would they, on
their own account, agree for one moment to
the proposition that the former slaves of the
cotton and rice plantations should have an
equal voice in the national councils with the
representatives of New York, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, and Ohio f To that plain issue
must it come; to that plain issue it has already
come. Congress, through its legislation and
through its instruments in the South, has
shown its determination that all political
power there shall be transferred from the
white race to the black; and Congress
assumes that in this policy it has the sup
port of the people of the North. Is there
good ground for any such assumption ? We
do not believe there is. We know that the
unpopularity of President Johnson has tended
to create the idea that the people approve the
destructive policy of Congress; but there is no
real foundation for that idea. The people may
have thought, and did think, that Congress
was sincerely intent on its desire to reconsti
tute the Union on a basis of perfect equality
between all the States, and that Mr. Johnson
was unwisely thwarting Congress in the exe
cution of that design. Such a delusion cannot
exist to day. Congress has shown either that
it designs to perpetuate the exclusion of the
Southern States, or that if they are to be re
admitted, it is to be only after their political
status bos been thoroughly Africanized. Let
the people ask themselves whether they are
prepared for either of these alternatives, and
if they are not, then let measures be taken,
through publio meetings, through the ballot,
and otherwise, to give expression to the pub
lic sentiment. We care not for President
Johnson or for Congress, for the Democratic
party or for the Republican party ; but we do
care for the glory, and greatness, and pros
perity of the American Republic, which are
being cruelly and ruthlessly sacrificed for
petty partisan purposes. Again we appeal
to the people to take such steps in the elec-
tions for Congress, in publio assemblages and
in private conferences, as will convince their
representatives that Congress must not per
sist in the policy it has inaugurated, and
which is as abhorrent to sound judgment as it
is in utter repudiation according to Mr. Thad.
Stevens' boast of the Constitution, under
which alone Congress has any power to legis
late to all.
Tbe
Political Reaction California
and
Blaine.
From the N. Y. World.
The longest line that can be drawn through
the country in whose expansive greatness we
all exult, is from the St. Croix river to the
Golden.Gate; Maine and California being the
Dan and Beersheba of our ample republio. So
wide is the intervening space that stretches
between these States, which have a oontinent
interposed within tjieir outside boundaries,
that the sun, which rises upon the citizens of
Maine from the sparkling waters of Passama
quoddy bay, must climb up into the heavens
lor nearly four hours before his morning
beams gild the farthest summits of the Rocky
Mountains, and burnish the bay of San Fran
cisco. If diversity were to be found anywhere,
we should expect it in the publio senti
ment of these widely separated States.
They have next to no communication
with each other; they have a popula
tion as differently constituted as that of any
two States in this Union can well be; they
differ in pursuits, in climate, in productions,
and iu their relations to the business and
cemmerce of the country. When, therefore,
causes which act on publio sentiment are
found to operate in the same manner in these
two stranger States which stand as sentinels
on the extreme boundaries of the republio, it
is safe to assume that their operation has
been general throughout the whole breadth
of the intervening continent. If the Demo
crats had made considerable gains in one of
these States, and not in the other, the change
might be attributed to looal circumstanoes;
but where the distance is so great, and the
circumstances so dissimilar, aud the inter
course and communication so infrequent and
slight, it can be accounted for only by sup
posing it to proceed from causes whioh operate
upon the whole country alike.
The reaction in Maine is not, to be sure, so
complete and eleotrio as it has been in Cali
fornia. But this is due to the faot that life is
not so active, and men's pulses do not beat as
quick, iu a rural apd stationary State, as they
do in a State settled by pushinir and adven
turous citizens who fled from the tameuess of
older communities to find a freer field for their
ardor and enterprise. Commerce, which is
the great quickener of thought, the great
sharpener of the human faculties, has made
the taliiornians keen and alert; but if the cm
zens of Maine move a little slower, they still
march in the same amotion, aud at a satis
factory nana.
It being demonstrated by the recent elec
tions that a general political reaction is m
progress, extending through the country from
side to side, we are content to take matters at
the worst, and make tbe result in Maine the
standard of our expectations. We have not
quite carried that State,,to be sure; but if our
tains in the coming elections shall be as great
in proportion to the whole number of votes
cast as they have been in Maine, we shall, even
this fall, revolutionize the politics of the ooun-
i try. The same ratio of gain will give us New
York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey by great
majorities; also the New States of Nevada,
Nebraxka, and Colorado; and will reoover for
us Ohio, Indiana, Oregon, and New Hamp
shire. These, with Connecticut and Califor
nia, already redeemed, will give us twelve
Democratic States, containing a majority of
the population now represented in Congress,
and enabling us to elect twenty-four Demo
cratic Senators when the terms of the present
incumbents shall expire. This expectation
does not rest upon fancy, but upon reasoning;
it merely assumes that the reactionary tenden
cies will be as active elsewhere as they have
been iu Maine. Let but this be admitted,
and the rest is arithmetic It has all the cer
tainty of the rule of three.
Can there be a better occasion than the
present for triumphing in the indomitable
pe sibtence and inextinguishable vitality of the
Democratic party ? Never has a party stood
up against such an array of adverse circum
stances with Buch unflinching steadiness. Men
who have stemmed the tide and held on to
their convictions durine the fiery trials of the
last four years, are in no danger of faltering
now. The period when it required consider
able moral intrepidity to be a Democrat is
past. A party which has been proof againBt
the obloquy and the disintegrating influences
of that dark era of political persecution, may
claim to have gone with credit through the
severest ordeal. This great party is now rising
again with elastic courage and energy, and
renewing us youth like the eagle s."
