The Election in Maine, on Monday r-e suited in a substantial Republicwn tri umph- We have returns of the vote for Governor from 110 towns, nearle one-half of the State, which give a majority of 5,090 for Sidney Perham, the republican candidate for Govnornor, against 4,942 majority for Chamberlain, last year. We judge that he is elected by five to seven thousand majority, through the vot ing has been so eccentric that it may be hazardous to attempt a close calculation as to the majority. The Legislature is largely Republican; though the Demo crats may have gained n few members of the House, and possibly one or two Sen ators. The people seem to have been voting mainly for U. S. Senator—the con test being between Gov. Chamberlain and the Hon. Lot M. Morrill. Shoddy Contractors Great stories are told in Paris of the enormous frauds of the government army contractors from which we should judge these contractors to be as'infamous as were some of our own. Infamous as cartridges filled with sand; artillerymen show explo sive shells that will not explode; the clo thing and equipments of the troops are complained of and, in fact, the entire •mil itary condition of Fiance is bad. It is even alleged that some of the balls provi ded for the guns in the Paris forts do not fit, and that new ones will have to cast. It is a bad time in the midst of aseige, to overhaul contractors for their frauds; lint if the Praisians should give them a short shrift, it would be precisely what some of our soldiers would gladly have done by the greedly wretches who did their best to sell our country for personal gain.— ReCord. • The Record.

In large cities the number of ar rests is fearfully- on the increase. Our , daily - exchanges dontain whole pages of robberies, and murders, and offenses of other kinds. Towns and villages are also cursed with this increased' wretchedness. .Lancaster and Columbia may be placed in the same catalogue. One of our Phila delphia exchanges, in commenting on the ' orderly condition - of Paris, since the fall of Sedan, alleges that it is attributable to the driving out of the thousands of idle and vicious persons who, during the siege -would not only have been an incumber ance,hut would have availed themselves Of the, opportunities that would have been so amply afforded them of plying their dishonest vocations.

WE have another report of the detuilds made by Prussia of France. The state ment is that Bismarck will have Alsace and Lorraine, the French Baltic fleet, and $80,000,000. All reports agree that the German repossession of Alsace and Lor raine is an essential in every proposal. A moneyed compensation has been mention ed, but its amount has never before been stated. The Baltic fleet, commanded by Vice Admiral Bovet Willaummez, entered the Baltic July 20. It sailed from Cher bourtr, and contains the ironclads Rocb ambeau, formerly the Danderberg, and Armide, and seven others in one division. Another squadron has been added since. It has accomplished nothing more than the capture of one or two merchant-men and the fright of a few fishermen. Every an his Own Governor. Governer Hoffman reviewed a brigade of the National Guard at Binghampton few days since and made a speech in the course of which be said : " The best government is that which governs the the' least, and the most.certain way to pro cure and maintain it is for every man in the community to feel that he must be his owns governor." That is the true theory of republican government, but how few politicians iu our day practice it ! If every man would be his own governor a vast amount of wickedness would be avert ed; the necessity for State conventions, cabals, cliques and all the paraphernalia and trappings of partisan life become use less and unnecessary. A treatise or lec ture upon the subject of "Every - lan His Own Governor" would prove a novel entertainment during the coming lecture season.-117: Y. licrald. THE WAR. The great powers on the part:of France have demanded an armistice. The Prus sian armies aro reported to have halted in their march on Paris. M. Thiers has been despatched by the Provisional , Gov ernment on a secret mission to London, St. Petersburg, and Vienna, and the pros pect for peace is therefore quite cheering. During the past week the new French Government has been working energeti cally-to bring about a-cessation of hostili -Cia;Te--iiorrer-e-aniTo're-trael., seconded by the people, and there is no doubt - it is ready and anxious to make an honorable settlement with Prussia. The German people also are 'playing for peace, and unless some pew. cause arises they will sustain a further prosecution of the war with great reluctance. It is exceed ingly unfortunate, however, that in these European matters the people have so lit tle to say. Nevertheless, monarchs and rulers are beginning to realize that it is dangerous to take on too 'many absolute and infallible airs, and they are conse quently prone to take more heed to the popular will-than iu .former times. We are therefore led to hope quite confidently for the peaceful settlement of this great Franco-Prussian quarrel at an early day. A Horrible Crime A correspondent of the Tribune of August 22d, says : I have referred, in previous letters, to the danger of raising against any one whomsoever the cry of Prussianism. The village of Hautefayc (Dordogne) has within the last two days bden the theatre of a crime so hideous a character as tare mind one of the barbarism of the Middle Ages. Without entering into the details of the preliminary incidents, 'it will suf fice to state that a Wealthi,landed proprie tor, the owner of the chateau- of Bretag nes, one Sieur, de Moneys d'Ordieres,Was burned alive by the populace, under' the impression that had cried out : " Vice la Prime!" It appears th'at he did make use of these words, but only-at the end of a reply he was addressing to a band of fel lows who had insulted him and hiS cousin by pointing them out as "fine gentlemen who paid others to fight the Prussians for them." M. de Moneys indignantly denied the allegation, and even declared that, though rich, he did not intend to purchase a substitute, but would himself risk his life for the country. He added : 'Those who, at such a moment endeavored to shirk the discharge of their patriotic dm, ties, are cowards, and make common cause with all who shout, " Vive la Pruise !" These last:words alone were beard by a part of the band who had provoked this retort. -It was sufficient. The young man—lie.was only 29—was immediately' set upon and fled.

LOCAL INTELLIGENcE SPINUAT. MEETING OF COUNCIL.—On Mon day evening last a special meetinjof Coun cilwas held for the purpose of taking ac tion in reference to the disturbance of Sat urday night. Messrs. Arms, Dietz, Baker, Detwiler, Hippey, Nourse and Patton were present. The following petition signed by ono hundred citizens was presented to Council: WilErtn.‘s, on Saturday night last, Sept. 10th, a riot occurred in that part of town known us " Tow Hill" in which an attempt was made to break into the house of one of our citizens, resulting in the death of two colored men. And - whereas threats. have since been made by many of the colored population, to burn or otherwise destroy our-property, also threatening our lives, and having m other ways manifested a dis position oaleulated to justify our fears that they may carry into effects their threats, we your petitioners, respectfully ask, that your honorable body will, without delay, take such steps as will prevent any such outrages, by giving us the protection of a sufficient police force. We would also call your attention to the habit of the lowest class of the population in this district con gregating on the corners along Union street using obscene language and conducting themselves in a manner greatly demoraliz ing to our children, soul times creating disturbance late in the night much to the annoyance of the more quiet portion of the population. All of which we respectfully submit and pray your prompt actiou.theroon. A number of the signers were present, who, accordingt o the report of the Clerk of Council, made the following statements : Mr. Hoffman testified that ho had heard different colored persons making threats that they would kill the Dutch and burn Mein out—but could not give their names. Heard this before and since tho late dis turbance. Conrad Myerstesti fled that he hoard Geo. Dunmore say, on Saturday afaernoon, that Young was going to give the Germans a and if he did not give them a lunch t hey would kill the whole huntly, Mr. Roland said that there had been many threats made against tho whites, and that their property was in danger. John Thomas stated that the colored men had been disorderly and riotous for a long time, and that the colored Band was a nuisance. John Weaver said that the whites going along the streets were saluted with abusive and obscene language. Phitip Sourhier said the people could not sleep for the noise and disorder of the blacks in the neighborhood, and also said that the colored band was a nuisance. Wm. Hardneile testified that Bill McGill said this fuss is what they wanted, if they could not whip the whites out of that part of the town they would burn them out. \Vm. Harms said that Jim Moore, Bill Kelley and Dick Anderson many threats against them. Abe Martin was also dis orderly. The colored people stoned his house and shot into it through tho door, the load passing into his coal oil barrel. Sam. Taylor broke in his window.

M. Amos CLEmsox's T.t.vmmg—THE GAP ex-Detective has I,urnishea to the Philadelphia Sunday iliercury, the fol lowing account of the notorious gang which used to make their rendezvous at the tav ern of Amos Clemson, near the Gap : On the line of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, about 55 miles from Philadelphia and 15 miles from Lancaster city, is a sta tion called the Gap. About 2 miles north of the station, in the most wild and desolate portion of Lancaster county, was situated a tavern, kept by an old man called Clem son, who had two grown-up sons. This was the place where the Colonel, when hid ing to avoid arrest, would secrete himself. —Cregar had his hired spies in the police department, who would keep him posted, and when he received the first intimation of danger. ho would drive up to the Gap, avoiding the railroad, and there stay till be was assured that ho could return to his farm in safety. Clemsou's tavern was known far and wide by the crossmen as a safe place for concealment. There has been known to be twenty or thirty congregated there at a time —fugitives fromjustice, charged with near ly all the crimes in the criminal calendar— murder, burglary, horse stealing, counter feiting, itc. It was a general report, and believed by the neighbors, that there was a secret subterranean passage, from the tav ern to the barn, where the out-laws could hide in case- of a .surprise 'being made by the police, which NVIIS not easily accom plished. as they would have their pickets out to - give the alarm in case of danger. Several of the attempts were made by the authorities of Lancaster county to break Up the' rentlezvous, and • dispeise or bring the gang to justice, but it proved to he no easy matter. The farmers for miles around were in continual fear and dread. If it became' known to the gang-that any one of the far mers had given information to the authori ties about them or their doings, his barn woulu be burned, or some outrage commit ted upon him or his property. The despe radoes were the, masters of that section of the county when the Mayor of Lancaster city sent an armed force of six or eight men to arrest a notorious character, Bill Bair, who was known to be at the Gap With old Clemson. Before the offieers arrived at the tavern, they wore ditcovered by tho pick ets, who went in and reported their coining, when preparations were made:by the gang, which numbered about twenty at the time, for resistance. When the officers entered the her-room they were set upon and beat en in the most horrible mariner, barely es caping with their lives. This had the ef fect of arousing the people to a sense of their danger. A large posse was procured, who, upon proceeding to the place, found it deserted, with tire exception of Clemson and his family. But it was not deserted long; when the posse was gone the gang disappeared. U. S. Marshall Roberts, himself being a resi dent of Lancaster county, was informed that the gang at the Gap wore dealing ex tensively in countot felt coin, and ho deter mined making a raid upon them. Selec ting a suflicent force, the Marshal and his posse took the night line from Philadel phia for the Gap, arriving at the station -about one o'clock in the morning.' Having 'a:guide, they avoided the road and took to the woods, across the hills, coming out di seedy at the tavern ; there being snow on the ground, and good sleighing, the house was open. •Ehe officers entered undiscov ered, and one was stationed at each door and window, to prevent escape. The party who were captured, some fif teen or twenty, , were searched, and a large amount of counterfeit notes and coin was found upon Fred. Tarr, young Clemson and Pete Hall. When Fred. Tarr was searched;•and tho counterfeit money taken from his person, old Clemson, who was standing by, throw up his bands and ex claimed: " You internal . villain ! Yon in famous sconntiral ! What aro yob . doing :with that stuff in my house? Me, that has lived an honest life for nearly seventy years, to be disgraced by such a vagabond as you!" Frederick, taking matters cool, replied, ''SfiLit up, old man r.. - Xton't be putting on airs, or you'll catch cold." search was made' for the subterranean passage, but no trace of it could be found, TIM prisoners were brought to Philadel 'Plifa, tried and convicted. The old man Clemson was subsequently arrested and convicted in Lancaster county, on. the charge of receiving stolen goods, and sent to the Eastern. re iltentiary, whore be was foundin his cell one morning by his keeper, suspended by the neck, dead. Clemson . was over seventy years old, about thirty . years of which he kept a notorious den at, the Gap. • . .

PIA:CO.—We refer with spe cial pleasure to the advertisement of the Great Piano Manufactory of Messrs. Wm. Knabe & Co., of Baltimore. The factory is now one of the largest in the world; it is a magnificent structure fronting an entire block of Eutaw street,and covering, together with the lumber yards attached, some two and one-halt acres of ground. Three hundred and lifty men are constantly employed turning out over forty instruments per week. The Knabe Piano has by its superiority not only well nigh driven those of Northern manufacture from the home market, but also enjoys a large sale in New York, Phil adelphia and throughout the entire North and West, besides their largely increased Southern trade. The most talented musicians of the day, both amateur and professional testify to their superiority, and wherever exhibited they have never failed to carry off the high est award over all competition, having re ceived no less than sixty-live first premi ums. During tho last season they were used simultaneously by the most distin guished artists at the Opera Houses in Bal timore, Philadelphia, New York, Brooklyn, Chicago, 4:.c. There is certainly no instru ment made, more durable than the Kuahe Piano, none but the best workmen being employed, and only the very best material used. Readmous.—Rev. S. 11. C.
