Whatever results shall bo ascertained from the official count of the votes in Maine, It may be regarded a3 2 disappolutment. to tho Republicans, It appears there has been but very litte change from the relative strength of the parties a year ago. Last year's voto for Governor was as follows: mith, Greentincker.. Garculon, Demoerat, ‘Total opposition, Davis, Republican ‘the vote polled for Pla this year represents the combined vote received last year. by Suilth and Garcelon; and Plaisted’s election, in vlew of this fact, would mut be regarded ng nn unexpected event, if the Republican, teadera in Maine had not per- suaded themselves, and taught the country. to belleve, that they would succeed In o' comlng the Fusion program. If thoy have failed to do so, they have not lost grotund, but only nussed a galn which they counted upon, ‘Phere was nover sufficient reason for the conftdence of siceess that was proclaimed, Hence a stnatl Fusion majority fs not n start- lug revelation, and it fndicates no particular advantage to the Democrats now or in the future. ‘The Greenbackers have contributed more than two-thirds of tho votes to the Fuslon ticket, as they did last year, and, IE Pialsted has becn elected, they have chosen a Governor who would probably vote for Garfield next November i€ hts choles were Inited to Garileld and Hancock, ‘The principal reason why the Republicans have not carried Matne by adeckded majority is to be sought in the abnormal and excep- tonal growth of the Greenback warty In Mahte during tho past fow years, ‘That party in that State has naturally grown up at tho expense of the Republican party. ‘This Is not n now discovery, but tho Maine Repubileans seem to have Ignored ft In mak- ing up their estininte of tho probable result of this years election, If the Greenback sentiment In the Stato had mantfested itself dls year for the first thne thera would then be some ground for pointing to the result as an Indication of that consuming desire for n “change” which the Democratic mane agers pretend to have found throughout the country, As tho Fusionists, representing Demoerntic money and Greenback poverty, have only succeeded In holding thelr own, the result has no special significance. Aside from this general condition, thore were some local influences unfavorable to tho Repub- Neans, which may bo summarized as fol- lows: S é 1. ‘Lhe Republican guns in the Muine cam pnign have been aimed at Ianeock, the Demoerntle party, and the National Issues, and the shots lave glanced off so far ag the Fuslon organization was concerned. ‘To all that was said against the Democratic party on Natlonnl {ssues the Fuslonists replied: “We are not defendiug Hancock, nor the Solid South, nor Southern batlot-box stufling, nor the record of the Democratic party in or unt of Congress, but we are attacking tho local record of the Republican Administra- tion In Maines? “This isa home fight? they would add, “a local State contest; when It has been deciled, It will be time enough to take up National issnes, and thon the Demo- cratic party must defend itself.”” Greenbackers who applauded and Indorsed Col. Ingersoll’s sentiments went off the noxt day and voted the Fusion tleket; but these men will not voto the Hancock Electoral tieket, and large numbers will refuge to vote for Fusion Electoral ticket, 2. One reason forthe loeal fight against the Republican Administration by the State Gove ermnent Is to be found in the rigorous Male Liquor law. Any aian or any party intrusted with dhe administration of a law sharply af feeting personal privileges and requiring searehing and odious inquisitoriat methords for its enforcement, Is sure to encounter bit- ter opposition from those who feel affected thereby. ‘The supporters of the Maine Liquor Jaw are always disposed to complain that it is not enforced strictly enough, and those who are opposed to {ts enforcement are al- ways tnmosed and exasperated by the med- dicsome Interference with tholr habits or uppetites, ‘The Republican Administration has this beon between two fires upon tho temperance question, and both approval of and opposition to the Inw have alforded s reagon to many persons for voting the Fusion theket ngninst Gov, Davis. 3. Pluisted, the Fuslon candidate for Gov- ernor, has been personally stronger through- ont the campaign than Davis, the Republic an candidate, Tlatsted has always been 0 Republican, voted the Repubilean tleket even last year, and would to-lay resent any imputation that he had gone over to. tho Democrats, Hence he was Ina position to attract Lhe yotes of Republicans who wero dissatisfied with the Liquor law‘or Davis for . Any reason. Moreover, Plaisted has a strong: War record, and is very popular. As be- tween the two candidates, therefore, there was nothing to Intluence tho chinge In the relative strongth of the two parties on local Issues which would haye been necessary to unable tha Republicans to carry tho State election, 4, Another local enugo that has exerted an Important influence upon the Maine olec- tlons of tho past few years Is tho constant drain upon the population of the State by tho removal of farmer fnmilles to the West and the young men to the citles, ‘This drain has been so grent tint the Inte census shows no Increnso in the population of Matne, though tho region Js healthful and large fuintlies are tho rule, ‘The Republicans have suffered far more than thelr opponents from this heavy emigration, because they inelude most of thos¢ who have the energy and cn terprise that Induce people to change their residence with a vlew to bettering thulr fort- uunes, ‘ 5, The numerical atrength of the Green- backers has bean malutained during te past yeur by a continuation of hard thnes in Matne, ‘That section of the country has not shared the renuwal of prosperity that has been evident In almost every other Northern State. Tho lumber Interest and the ship- building industry are still In a stagnant con- dition, and thls fact accounts for a feel ing of dissatisfaction aid discontent that always operutes te tha advantage of tho oppoaition Ina struggle ugalust the prevaillng Administration, ‘Che inpoy- erishedt condition of a Isrgo portion of Malne’s population also atforded an excel lent opportunity for the Investment of Dem- ocratle campaign funds, whieh were un doubtedly put Into the State in large amounts, and used “whero they would do tho most gooul,’! All these reasons serve, not merely to ex- plain why the Ropublicans were not ablo to secure a decided triumph over the Fustonists in Maine, but ulso why tt was foollyh aul intsleading on tho part of ‘the Republican munagerg 1n that State to create the Impres- slon that victory would be easy, But the Demoerats will bo equally the victims of a delusion Jf thoy shull persnade themselves that the result of tha State election in Maine denotes a Democratic victory there in No- vember, It 1s preposterous to claim that the State wilt xo for Mancuck and English when the Democrats did net furnish much more than one-third of the votes for the Fusion State tIeket, and not more than one-sixth of all the voles enst In the State, Fusion wilt not work ina Nationnt election as it does in a Stato election AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES OF THE UNITED . BTATES, When tho Tand seltation in Great Britain and Ireland, growing primarily out of the successive fallitres of the crops, and secondly out of the prospective innbility of British farmers to compete with the United States in the matter of food supplics, suggested that there would have te ben reduction of farm rents throughout tho United Kingdom, the British land-owners were serlously alarmed. aAntong the other objections made by them was that the flelds of Aimerlea were not tho ngricultural utnes they were represented to be, and that In the end, a5 soon ns British farmers were again blessed with favorable seasons, they would bo more than evor able to compete with the American grain-producers, Tho ‘Tory Government appointed © Commissioners to. visit this country to examing aud make report on its agricultural resourecs, and on the prospective possibilities of American foul boing supplicd to Gyent Britain cheaper than {tconld ba produced at home, ‘These Com- missioners, Mr. Pell and Mr, Read, have com- pleted thelr report, and it hasbeen published, with a mass of testimény, In| England, ‘Though we have had an English copy of the whole paper, there is so much of it that Is of no Interest to our people that we give our renders this morning # condensed statement of tho muterial parts, made by the Mark Lane Expreas, tho organ of the breadstuits market of the United Kingdom, ‘Tho Commission was appointed to make 9 report to establish that the British farmers had no reason to fear thot Amerien would ever serlously interfere with thelr husband- ry; that it was impossible for the Americans fo grow wheat in the interior, transport It to tho coast, and then deliver it in England at prices that would materially reduce tho profits on British farming, and therefore there was no neceasity for English farmers to ask for reditctions of rent, nor for English landlords to reducu the rents anid surrender any part of thelr accustomed In- come, ‘Ihe Commnisstoners, true to the task to which they were appointed, have made nv report precisely to this effect, ‘The diMeulties in the way of American competition are stated by these gentlemen withgrentpariicularity. » They may be briefly sununed pas follows: (1) ‘The cost of grow- ing; (2) tho cost of freight to Uhleago; (3) the cost of frelght to New York and thence to Liverpool; these and incidental charges fix the tote] cost of moving 500 pounds of Amer- fean wheat from tho fields to Liverpool at from 43 to 47 shillings. ‘This branch of the cost of competition fs of course applicable to. the present condition of affairs. ‘To this the Commisstoners add for tho future: (2) An Inereased compensation to the farmer for his present excessive lator; (2) the cost of re- newlug the perishable farms machinery used.

That was ‘the ox- potiditure made by the rallrond company for that service on roads laid with the short-Hyeddt iron rally. Then the cars could! not be loaded. In oxcess of ten tons of grain percar, In tho meantime tho steel rails have taken the place of the fron. rails, and timo has not yet domonstrated what !3 the actual average Ife of the steol rail, Moreover, the cost of the steel rail at this tmeis no greater than wag the cost of the Iron rail ten years ago.

At the close of 1881 the Welland Canal will bo completed, and the mammoth propellers which may then bo employed on the lakes will be promptly adapted to the transporation at cattle from Chicago to Montreal, thence to bo transferred to ocean vessels, In like manner for six months In the year the sumo great water route will bo open for the trans- portation of broadstuifs—grain probably belug carried from Chicago w tho side of the ecenn steamer ato rate not exceeding 8 to 10 vents per 100 pounds, ftisnot Ikely that the whole railroad system Jylug between Chi- cago and the Atlantle elties will abandon the transportation business and the many hundred infilions of dollars invested.

Ithas been frequently proposed since tho opening of the present campaign that repre- sentative Republican speakers from the North should be sent into tho Southern States, and that exponents of Southern opin- fon like Hampton, Butler, and Lamar should make speeches $n tha Northern States, The New York Herald renews tho sug- gestion In the hope that such an exchange of nen and opinions might, If tried, modify the seetonal feeling. Sth a notion was encour- aged by many Republican Journals a fow months ago, but the progress of the cun- pnign has demonstrated that the experiment would not be productive of any good results, ‘To begin with, there is no suctionallam In the North as that term applics to the South. If tha North ts solldly Republican it s so part- ly because the people of the North are satls- fled with the adiministration of the Govern- mont and the prosperous condition of things which has resulted, and partly because tho sectlonntism of the South is a mennee to the whole country. ‘There Is no spitit of scc- tlonniisin in tho North that | manifests Itsuif In intolerance and ostractsi, or needs to be sustained by fraud ‘and viole! If the people of the South are really po sessed of any other notion of Northern see- tlonulism,—if they netually belleve tint the prevailing sentiment of the North ts as in- tolerunt and bitter against the people of the South vs that of the South ugalnst the people of the North,—then the intelligent men liy- mg in Southern States have deliberately elosed thelr cyes to tho manifold evidences to the contrary, and the assurances of Iend- ing Republicans would not make nruch in- pression upon them. Northern speakers, on the eve of a Presidential election which the Southern leaders hope to enrry by deception, might not be mobbed (though there ts no guarantee of this), but their speeches would not bo reported by the press fairly and fully, and° they would be charged with InsIncerity, Even tf it bo admitted that they would be treated courteonsly, that their 1t- terances would bo fulrly chronicled, and that they would succeed in effecting some change in public sentiment, nll this would bo of no ayall, ‘The Democratic oficial cliques would still count in preposterous Democratic ma- jorlties, ‘The Greenback leaders entered the field with good hopes, and fcund splendid assurances of popular sympathy, but when the vote of Alabama was “counted,” all the hopes and assurances were dissipated. No good will come of Northern missionary work: in the South until every man there shall have tho same unrestrained right to vole as ho likes that every Northern voter exercises, hand every vote shall be honestly counted as It was cast. Northern speakers cannot rench the class who do the bulldozing and tha ballot-box stuffing in tho South. Nor, woul! any good come of oratorleat vislta- tlons upon the North of Southern Demo- cratic leaders, There ins been muple proof that these gentlemen talk one way at tho South and another way at the North, Their honeyed: phrases, prepared for the special delectation of Northern hearers, would be meaningless at this ime, for they would not correspond to the spirit of the campaign made at the South. The South as a section must accept tho doctrine of Nationalism before an interchange of speakers aul political courtesies enn be of any avail to either section, If Southern seetionalism shall prevall in thls election, the promisa of Natlonulism will probably never be realized; ifnot, then It is possible that tho leading ininds of the South may abandon and shat- ter sectionalism ns discordant with progress and impotent for political success, THE ADULTERATION OF FOOD, A lady in Massaclusetts—Mrs, Richards has been devoting herself to nn investigation of the adulteration of food, and the results arecontaincd in tho latest. volume of the Health Reports of thatState, whieh are noted far and wide forthe thoroughness with which thoy deal with thelr subject. ‘Tho engage- ment of a woman In a «hity of this kind is somewhat novel, but the publication of her experiinents and tho results ot her Inquiries Inayolumo of this importance show that they aro considered to be of great value, Ars, Richards’ Investigation was Iinited to flour, sugitr, bread soda, cream of tartar, and baking-powders, Sho obtained her sumples from & large number of dealers who were not aware of hor purpose, and maile her In- vestigations In a most thorough manner, and with arcsuit which Is quite reassuring as compared with tho results which have been obtained by others experimenting in tha same direction, Twenty-tive samples of flour did not show mineral adutterations Ina single ease, and so fur as cream of tartar and goda are concerned sho made the curious discovery that tha smaller grocorles keep very lttle of it for sale, because the poorer clussey almost oxcluslyely use the baker's bread, Of sugar she obtained seventy-five samples, There was no trace of tin In any ofthem. In tha white sugars, none of them showed traces of chloride or caletium, and only ono of them indicated the presence of glucose, In the brown sugurs, of which she had thirteen samples, there was a little chlo- ‘ride of lime In sever, but not enough to do any harm, Six of them hud glucose, which wns owing to tho presenco of molasses, Of ninety-threo samples of soda, nlueteen were absolutely pure and forty-threo were pro- nounced to be good, Of the remalning simples twenty-ilve had from 3 to 10 per cent of chlorlue and sulphate of sodium, but only threo samples were pronounced to be very bad. Creum of tartar mado the poorest showing In the analyse A sum. mary of her analyses says; ‘As the best ts Nabfe to contain a little tartrate of lime, found in the imported argols, she classed us perfectly good all samples that contained less than 3 per cent of It, All tho packages marked with the makers’ name and wir ranted ‘strictly pure’ were good. Soven without tho name of tho manufacturer, only the name of the mills belng given, were adulterated, Que was Jurgely flour, the oth- era contained ovur 50 per cent of terra alba, Ut wos ascertained that the price does not al- ways Indicate tho quality, some bought at 10 cents a quarter of y pound being as good ay othors ut 15 cents,"" Of baking-powders, Mrs, Hiehards had thirty-three samples, and of these twenty-four were good and had noth- ing in them more injurious than flour or starch, Of the remajuing samples, elght had alum.and five ammonia fn thor, ‘The results of Mrs, Richards’ analyses are certaluly encouraging, Her experiments were confined to articles which euter inte tho making of tho staff of life, Bread, po- tatovs, and ment are the necesaltles, and if there 1s a reasonable probability that, tho former willl contain nothing positively ine jurtous, people can get nlong very comfort- ably, since the other two cannot well be adulterated, and with a tte knowledge and experience can alway be obtained In good condition, As to other artleles of consump tlon, there fs no special renson for alarm. Mrs. Richards’ experiments established a general rule, which applies not only to flour, soda, att baking-powders, but to everything else which 1s eaten and drank—tomely? that It Is always. safe to buy from reputablo dealers, It was lier experi- ence, ns stated in the: reports, that pure articles ean always be obtained at first- class stores, and that it was tho rule that re- tail deniers sell thelr goods without adding anything to them, There fs no question about the truth of this, and that !t is better in the long run to buy ata first-class place, oven at first-class prices, since the goods are better and purer, It{s not always safe to buy o thing because It Is cheap to cat, drink, or wear, If one deator undersells another in tho satue line of goods, It is, in tho majority of cases, pretty sura evidence that there Is some fraud in the goods or that they are*of poorer quality. «A first-class store must main- fuin its reputation, and thore Js no way In which St cau be done except by keeping first- class goods, and If first-clngs goods will Inst longer than second-class guods thero Is no economy tn buylng tho Intter merely becauso they are cheap. ers A TERRIBLE ENGINE OF DESTRUCTION. ‘The experiments of sclentific inventors In the improvement and strengthening of pro- Jecliles ure rapidly tending to reduce the possibilities of naval warfare, if not to actu- ally do away with It altogether, The can- struction and suceess of the monitor during our War of the Rebellion forever cnded wooden vessels ns agents of war. From this polnt Improvements fn armor and ordnance have been go rapid that const defenses have beeome of Jitile yalue ngainst vessels whose fronelad armor cannot be pierced even. by the heaviest Armstrong guns, and whieh cannot be, sunk even by the heaviest blows of the most powerful rams, owing to their water-light compartments, Against such vessels as have lately been constructed for the English and Itallan Governments no const defense could maintain itself. ‘Yo offset this the torpedo system has been fmproved upon and its effective- ness greatly Increased, but It still fell short of being made practicable against these powerful vessels, owing to the com- paratively short range of tha torpedoes, tho arent resistance of tho water through which they were propelled, and tho necessity of using very expensive and cumbersome en- gines for their propulsion, which had to be effected by compressed alr. ‘Tho torpedo problem now, however, ap- pears to have heen sutisfactorily solved by Capt. Erlesson In lis Initial experiments, and If tho final experiments, soon to be made, prove successful, it would almost scem to do awny altogether with the present system of naval warfare, and render even the mon- strous floating batteries that have re- cently been constructed in Europa ut- terly valueless for any destructive pur- poses, ‘The New York ‘imes con- tains some details of Capt. Ericsson's Inven- tion that are of rent interest in this connee- ton, ‘Tho problem upon which he Ids been studying was to construct a torpedo explo- sive of such power that the shock of the con- enssion alone shall be sufileient to sink any vessel, no matter how it Is constructed, As the first step In hls experiments, Capt. Erles- son concelyed the Iden of substituting gun- powder for compressed nir as the propelling power of the torpedo through the water. Ills first experiments were made onthe iud- son Rlvor and in a somewhat ernde manner, and, as the bottem of tho river wag very soft, his torpedoes, though nineteen feet In length, went so far out of sight in the mud that they could not be recovered, . Jig thon transferred his experi- nents to Sandy Hook, where the hard buttom helped to make them a success. Subsequent- /ly tho Seeretary of the Navy placed a fitteen- itech gun at lis disposal, and with this he has continued lis experiments. until tho results justify all his oxpectations. The torpedo itself is ten fect In length, fitteen inches tn dinmeter, and weighs 1,281 pounds, ‘Lhe ex- plosiye whieh it carries at its head isn charge of dynamite welghing 20 pounds, and to the tall is allached 9 cast-iron armature, which offsets the welght at the head, Tho Initial veloelty with which tha torpedo leaves the gun fs at the rate of 160 miles per minute, and, notwithstanding the inclination of its axis as compared with the axis of the gun, tho course of the torpedo through the water $s so perfectly stralght that it can be made to strike a target at long distances with the most perfect precision. As to the propulsion of tho torpedo, the Times says: The charges employed consisted of eleht pe nds of pow der,composed of hexugons welgh- ng ninuty-six gralng ¢: and baviuy a total volume of 210 cuble inches, including the fi spaces between the hexagons, which ama to elyhty-one cublo inches—oveupled, of course, by nin. The tutter, added to the nnceu- pled space behind tho torpedo, guve a total vol Mine of 2007 cubic inches of. alr, or an wr-epace nenrly fourteen ‘times greater than tho actual volume of tho charge, and more than twenty- twa times grenter than the apace ttetitlly necu= pled by tho explosive. ‘hts enormous dispro- orton was for the purpase of tuking udvan- age of the clastlalty of the tr us a custiion, the theory being that the expnosion of Uo gusos of the explosive would compress tho nie bebind It before expelling tho projectile, aud that all the advantages of compressed ule would be ob- tuned, with an enormous fucrenso of torco the propulsion of. the torpedo, Tho result justified tho Inventor's oxpectations, baded upon careful mathematical caleutation, ‘Tho great compression of tho aly at the instant of the explosion brought the oxygen Into closer: contuct with tho purileles of tho exploalye com- pnd, and winore steady, complete, and unl form combustion wassecured, the {nteranl press ure of which wus simifcantiy denoted by tho Jaane of flame trom the muzzie of tho gin to tho distance of elyht fect at ovcry dlacharge, following the piston of the torpedo Ike a binging tongue, ‘This phennmenon waa regarded wx ca~ truordinary, in view of tho fact thit tho ratio of apace oceupled by the explosive to that of the wholo spice at the Instant tho Prolectiic left tho muzzle wae only ux one to ehght; and the result showed that Capt, Eriesson was not dn error in nssumting that tho explosive cnergy of gunpow- der, so fur from representing a mera instants neous and momentary ovalution of power, can be dhifused and regulated to a tinited extent in the antHiO Mautner as pressure developed by other menu: Capt.
