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. Pull trade, which
invariably decreasei the consumption
of all food products, Must, however,.
be taken into account.. 'Alldwarkee.!
will also have to be made for the im
mense yield in Califona . ia, - a large
part of which will be exported to
Great Britain, and of conrse affect
the market there.

"some of the highest officials of the

question " is settled for the present,
and Republicans of the western part
of the t sounty will no longer permit
themselves to be hoodwinked into
aiding the disloyal Democracy- under
the spetons cry of "new county."
'Neither of the Democrats 'chosen two

"Until the new constitution was
adopted in . 18.72, reinarkable hope
existed tha n Bradford county might
be divided. - For the accomplishment
of that purpose our columns bear
witness; ne-wer ready to give our
best•efibits. No' thoughtful man who
haii given the subject attention now
believes that such a result can be at

of years. While that hope continued

that those-, two gentlemep would ae
complisk for the people something in
that direction ; the people of Troy,
too, cast a large vote Or Rockwell
for. similar reasons. Of (course we
knew that one of us, either Troy- or

him, that at the very time when our
young Senator .was assuring his
,friends in Troy that a- county scat
there was a question of only a short
time, a provision was being prepared
in theliouse Bill that effectually de-
Lfeated his purpose. We believe the
truth to be' that under the new con

The hickerings over this division

reducing the great majorities of our

" Can we afford longer to be the
levers by which the Democracy hope
to gNin the ascendency? We think
not. The experience of ..the past

The great republic was getting along
very well in 180, in •so far as the

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.

Sr. PAut,, Sept. 11,—A, Pioneer-
Press special, dated. 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.

• WA SIIINUTON, Sept. 8, 1876.
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

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.

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

For the unwavering firmness which

hearty commendation of every Republican
in the city. Chief Clerks, Heads of Di- .
visions, and soon down, were invite.l,•by

Much stirprtse •atarinimy. doubts were
expressed at the hotels on receipt of the

Tweed just at the proper Moment to make

in Bradford Co. It was also declared that
