We will - send the CAMPAIGN RE- POILITIL from the lst'of September to 31st of 1/eember, for TWENTY FIVE CENTS., Tile election in Maine on Monday last following that of Verrdont the week previous has sent disnuty into the ranks of the democracy. While they did not expect to carry , the State they were confident of reduc ing the Republican majority, hut the result proVes an increase of over 1:2,000 over last yell and virtually decides the contest in- Ohio and In diana. The vulnerable character of. both the Democratic nominees sup pleMented by the bungling manage ment of the party leaders has dis gusted the more intelligent and honest„, portion of the, party, and were is not for the Southern rebels TJLDEv would not carry but few if any mare States then poor GREELEY did. The Herald sums up the result r.s follows: In spite of the hopes and pre dictions of democratic prophets it now turns out that Mair went Hen bent for • the - Republicans. ..Every Con gressional district and every county in the . State. from present appcsr. anecs, gave Gov. Conner a.tint;.34,- . The Republicans gainco nd the `invictor*; a • • sweepuirr , , one. 'cite result was one which there was every reason to expect, and it shows not only the ardor , with ')which the Republicans are' entertaining into this eampaiom, but that the party is still intact. At no time since 18G0 has Maine done better for the . Re-, publican party, and the achievement of yesterday - virtually decides the Presidential contenst. The desire for change. upon wbich the democrats depended' for success. evidently has not taken . possession of the Repub lican majority, and so noiselesslY has this victory been won that Governor Tilden's hunt" is apparent only on the part of his enemies. • Follow ing so closely upon the Saratoga blunder and the result in Vermont the Maine election cannot fail thor oughly. to, dishearten the democracy, making Indiana as certain for Haves as Ohio and .Pennsylvania. ONE of the most eneouraging pos sibilities of •the. ties is that sof the re-uviori of the Southern Methodists with the main body,Trom whom they seceded in 18-15, - and . thus led the way towards the Rebellion. The Baptists and Methodists are very numerousand influential in the South they divided about the same time, and their re-Union with their South ern brethren will go far towards mc onciliation of civil relations.. The Southrn Methodists coutd show their faith by their works and do much to secure peaceable elections by voting for Gen. Hivr.s, whose religious views and whose family are Methodists. The cause which Jed to division being now out-limed.' there should be no further/, discus sions, and ll.tvEs and WHEELER (who are guiltless of making any disturbance) are the proper men to bring about reconciliation on a just. humane basis. , IN ,average years Great Britain produces 112,000,000 bushels of wheat, and imports both., as wheat and flour 72,000,090. Tiiis year the wheat yield will, be less than the: average, and probably not larger than that of 1 S"Ni. It follows that under ordinary cirenmstances Great Britain ought to require as much wheat front foreign sources during the ensuing Li months l as she has since last 3'ear's liarves. ought also to be better than in years of abundance, inasmuch as the quo tations from 1854 to 18'74 do not stow a single instance of a low price when. the English harvest has been U!low an average.

THE ARREST OF TWEED. He h to be Surrendered to the 11. B. Government MADRID, Sept. 11.—The -following are additional particulars of the ar rest of Wm. M. Tweed : Captain- General Jovellar, at. Havant), re ceived intelligence that Tweed bad disembarked at Santiago de Cuba, and notified the authorities there, but before the latter could take action Theed embarked on the sailing ves sel Carmen fur Vigo. The Captain-- General telegraphed to the Madrid government, which, fearing that the c'artnen might go to some other port, requested the authorities at all Span ish. ports to examine' pers,ons. On all the vessels namtAl Carmen, there ,being twelve Spanish ~Vessels of that uatue. As a portrait of Tweed being in dispensable' fbr . his-tindentification, the authorities obtained and made copies of a Caricature ip anke„-,, r j eau journal, reptyse!!ll-it T wee d as beat ing supposed to typify A:aeriean justice. The caricature led the Spanisk 4uthorities and reporters of Spanish ipapers to believe Tweed had been kidnapping children, hence, in the first announcement of the arrest of " . Tweed, antehn," which is supposed to have been a telegraphic corruption of "Tweed, American," it was.stated he had been arrested for kidnapping children.‘ Tweed is still *confined on the, Isle of St. Simon in Vigo Bay, where he is undergoing quarantine, and is strictly, watched by Custom House guards. At the expiration of his quarantine he will be surrendered to the United-States. As there are no dira.t steamers between Spain' rind North America, Tweed will be sent to Cuba, and there to'New York.

Sioux ExPedi tion Camp, at - the month of Glendive Creek, Sept. 5; via Bismarck, Dakota Territory, the 11th inst., says : The recent order of Gen. Sheridan, desig nating the Fifth Infantry and the battalion of the Twenty-second as the garrison of the new post, and di recting the troops to fit _themselves 1'1,4., the Winter, has practically:put an end to the campaign for this sea son, as far as.the Dakotalcoltunn is concerned. The season is so far ad vanced that, with 'the utmost . indus try, the troops will hardly have time to shelter themselves before severe weather, and, consequently, the or ganizations designated to remain here have been detached from the marching column and set at work. The, navigation of the Yellowstone has suddenly clo,sed by thd rapid falling of the water, and the supplies for the new •post, instead of being conveyed to their destination by steamer, must be hauled in wagons frOm Fort, Buford. The question of subsistence for. the troops who are to remain has become so grave that all supplies brought up for the active column must he devoted to the use of the cantonment, in order to pro vide against the danger of actual suffering . ; consequently, our small army must be sent home. Gen. Crook has been heard from under the date of the 2d inst. He has followed the trail to Little Mis souri without finding Indians. The trail is found to split;; showing that parties have diverged in several di rections.. Gen. Crook thinks that the southern band may have moved :backward toward the mountains, and `is somewhat apprehensive for his wa -gon train..lt is expected that he will move in that direction with his men.

From tha great array of strange faces that may daily_ be seen among us, it is evident that• Washington as: well .as the Centennial Exhibition is ,not -witliont its 'attractions: The weather having become cool and pleasant there is Mat a train ar rives that does not bringits party of Cen tennials visitors; whaare either on their way or have been to the great,Exposition. With umbrella and carpet sack in hand, long 'Mo t t of them 'may Ix; seen, emerg ing from lhe various depots and landings. They are generally known at a glance, the Women by their linen overdress,•pnd the men by their long linen dusters. The hotels and boarding houSes are tilled with them. They are seen everywhere, orabo streets, in the public parks, around and within the public buildings; and, wander ing with guide book in hand through the halls of the Departments, they gaze upon the lovely elarkema as if they were caged Specimens' of some rare and peduliar race of hurnanitywhich doubtleits many of them .are. Their stay, however, is usually short, and their transit rapid ; and who were expecting to be pecii niarily benclitted by their visits are disappointed, none more so than the saffron hued matron of the traditional i7.BSIIINGTOX HASTY jtOtla:. The Corrugated face of ;that lively anatoink is wreathed into anything but pleasant smiles as she sees plateful after plateful of her hash, unpalatable, as it may be, disappear:into those deep callerns, the capacious stomachs of tier hungry guests. To the great discomfiture of our sharp-eyed boarding house Ikeet ers, no matter how tough and indigestible• their steaks, the stubburn fact is being forced upon their mental vision that there is no speculation in feeding the transient Cen tennial visitor. The golden - harvest so long anticipated, like the Dead . Sea apples, turn lo ashes on their lips. Aniong the - many objects of interest which may be found at.the nathqs Capi tol, and to which the 2atteatinlof the centennial visitor is invariably draW ;there is none made so much the subject 10, f gen erairemark as the unfinished shafauown as the W,I9IIINGTON MONI:MENi.. Although our Confederate Congress, at its late session, refused to make appropri-. at ions necessary to complete. the unfinish ed public buildings, so much needech by theCiovernment, . yet, for sotho reason unexplained, they made an appropriation suflicient, it is supposed, for the comple tion of this work. The. honorable body. known as the Washington. Monument Association refuse, unless certain 'stipula tions are complied with, to surren d er charter ; consequently th, e ;eis imme diate. prospect of the ly shaft being contlikttql-tilleiri:ole an ornament instead f rinonument of disgrace. As a' reason why the Association refuse to comply with the provisions of the act making the ap propilation. it is suggested unkindly per haps; that their occupation would be gone, that they would no longer be the guargians of the various contributions which, for many ycar past, have been collected, and which throtigh some mysterious agency, disappears,. never to be heard of again. The action of Congress in this matter, however unpalatable it may be to certain parties, is without doubt eminently proper, as one monopoly of the kind is quite enough for one locality. Under pre tense of keeping the grounds of MOUNT VERNON in proper order and repair, we have an other Association with a grandhead centre knoti as a' sort of Regents or Queen llee.! From all'of those who, ,in a spirit,' of ruler:di ,n, determine to maize a pil grimage to the tomb of the. Father of his Country, or froth those vdmserlove of cur riosity, utaylead them in that direction— and they are many—a contribution of fifty cents is'dem:valetl ; and the conN queue° i s , th e Assowation have N. hat is called pretty good thing of it. As the bones of the immortal George have been prolitably and p9manently utilized, we suppose; and made to bring valuable tribute to' the coth!rs of the Association into whose hands they have finally fallen, by.' all means let the monument be comidacd. One monopoly of the kind. at a tilt:lp is certainly as much as the public will care for. Among the recent converts to the Dem ocratic faitlfis that r;wect child of nature, the irrepressible and festive DOCTOR MAItY WALKER The Doctor having knocked at the doors of public patronage for the last teak„ year;, without being recognized, has, at last, in her wrath, waved, on high her cotton mu brella, turned her vifurcated garments, shaken her lists at toe Vepublican party, and bdeome a bright• and shining member of the Democratic Jackson Association of Washington. The aeghisition to their ranks of the garrulous Docior was made the Occasion Of a grand Tilden and Hen dricks' meeting, which was to take place but didiel.• o her groat disgust, as well as - disammihttnent,' the enthusiasm which she expvted would' be maalMsted over her conv'efsion was neither animated nor brilliant, and may properly be likened.to the faint dickering of a burnt out penhy dip thatputters and dashes for a few, moments in its sockets and then, with a compound of villainous smells, goes .sud denly out. ' With the exception of tlie DEMOCRATIC , ;JACKASS, which is busily engaged endeavoring, to intimidate government clerks, and trying to prevent them from going iome to vote it the coming elections, there appears to. be but little . doing' politically among the Democracy that, all last winter long, havellxpresscd themselves so confident and jubilant. The nomination of ex- Governor Seytwir for Governor of the State of Neefl (Irk had the effect of somewhat brigKning their rather deject ed looks, but his persistent refusal to ac, cept the nomination being: regarded .as a confession . of the weakneSs of the party, has dampened their ardor again, and con sequently, the Democratic .Jackass is anything but joyful or enthusiastic over the political outlook. OFFICIAL AXE The suspense which so lono ' has hung over the heads—of the clerks is at • last about ended, and the agony nearly over. The eight nn.dred dischargeso ajiielr salary-grab Randall so ,strenuously in sisted upon, have been nearly all made, and quiet is again'beino• restored in the Departments, which, "for a long time, have been in a 'somewhat demoralized condition. "TO rnE vicrons nEt ; oxos TUE SPOILS" has ever been the popular cry • with . the Democracy and as this reduction was forced upon the administrate') by a.Dem ocratie douse, the consequence is that Democratic clerks, so far as known, were 'lna& the victims of the fea:it. In the "War Department particularly, the official axe fell With crashing, effect upon tile , many Democrats who. for some reasor or other, have been retained iu its varidus divisions for many years past. The strong efforts made by several of the sArmy Officers, in charge of to save the Deniecratic clerks under their cont-rol proved to be entirely ifjle and un availing. It is refreshing to see members of the Cabinet like secretaries Cameron and Chandler " bonueing " their politcal enemies, dud rota it ing good Republicans in office ; end if their exampled.co9la be followed by other Heads of Departs b ents, the civil service would be soon weededN)f many who are, not only opposed to the administration, but whohavo been oppos ed to the Government during ,- and since the.war.

Chief Clerks, Heads of Di- . visions, and soon down, were invite.l,•by the score, to step down and out.

Much stirprtse •atarinimy. doubts were expressed at the hotels on receipt of the news. A well known gentleman at the Filth.
