The general results of thé Maine election are very decisive and very significant, They are startling and incomprehensible to the conserv- atives and indicate a popular groundswell wholly unexpected by the radicals themselves. It is manifest to us that this remarkable elec- tion turned more upon the exciting political events of the day, North and South, than upon the exact political issues presented between the Southern restoration polioy of President Johnson and the reconstruction policy of Con- gross. Extraordinary rosults are generally due to extraordinary causes. Had the republicans simply held something like their standing ma- jority in Maine the result could have been ox- plained by the simple statement that the battle was fought between the Union party of the war and the old copperhead peace democracy. But the enormous gains to the republican vote throughout the State require a larger explana- tion. We conclude that to the exciting poliiioal events of the day, and especially to the de- plorable tragedy lately enacted in New Or- leans, we must look for the exciting causes which have resulted in this unprecedented dv- feat of the democrats and conservatives in Maine. However guilty Northern abolition radicals may have been in fomenting the New Orleans riots, the ugly fact stands forth in gloomy relief that Southern whites and negroes sympathizing with the Northern radical party were deliberately murdered by Southern des- peradoes and municipal officers who had been notoriously active as Southern rebels in the late rebellion. General Sheridan’s despatches upon this bloody business have evidently leit an impression upon the Northera mind preja- dicial to the cause of the speedy reconciliation of the two sections. Those rnffianly elements of the South which had so much to do in pre- cipitating the Southern States into the abyas of the late rebellion, against the wishes and moye- ments of the great body of the Southern peo- ple, have been again at their diabolical work. And so we find the generous and acceptable restoration policy of the President turned into contompt by squads of Southern vagabonds, here and there, playing inio the hands of Northera radicals and fanatics in such scenes of lawlessness and bloody violence aa those of Memphis aud New Orleans. Such ghastly scenes of disorder are, we are saiisfied, as revolting to the masses of the Southern people as to the people of the North; but fm the stubborn fact that ancl secacs are enacted in Southern cities with tl connivance of the local authorities, ad thai the guilty parties escape without punishment, the North- era mind is aaturally drawn to the copglusion that President Johnson's magnauimity is thrown away and that the inirsctable spirit of the rebellion still prevails throughout the South, We have heard it said that the New Orleans massacre was a godsend to the North- era radicals, and so, in casting about for the solution of tais Maine election we are com- polled to recognize it. UW the moralefvots, therefore, shall prove to be the triumph of the asiringent radical policy of excinsion, against the President's generous and coneiliaiory policy of Southern restoration, the Southern people may charge it to those vicious and re- bellious eleménis among themselves which Southern political leaders have permitted to be used by Northern radical agitaiors for their party purposes, Whatever may have been the real causes, however, operating (to bring about the extra- ordinary results of this Maine eleciion, it is too decisive against the democracy and conserva- tives io be limiied to Maine, We apprehend that, as in all our political contests of the past of a national character, the resnit in Maine in- dicates the generat drift of the elections com- ing after ii throughout the Northern Siaies. ‘The prospect now of a conservative majority In the next Congress is very doubtful; the prospect of another radical Congress is better than it has appeared at any time since Decem- ber last. In short, this Maine election of 1866 will probably mark another new chapter in our politica! hisiory and perhaps another reor- ganization of parties and another reconatruc- tion of party> platforms for the Presidential election, beginning with the close of the com: ing elections of October and November. The Radical Riot at lndianapolis--What Comes Next? The ontrageons abuse of President Johnson from the pens and tongues of the radicals bas at last culminated in something more serious, The people of Indianapolis Lave disgraced themselves and the country by preventing the President from speaking, and by getting up 2 murderous riot before his very face. Tnstigated by the radieal leaders, a band of rowdies ond rufiians made an aitack upon the procession which had turned out to receive the President, smashed the torches, tore up the banners ond hissed and booted Mr. Johneon when he at- tempted to express bis thauks for the welcome extended to bim. These rowdyish procecdings being resisted,,a general fight ensued in the equare which the President overlooked, and clubs, knives and pistols were freely used. At least (wo persous were killed and several dan- gerowsly wounded. We print farther and fuller particulars of the affray in our news columns this morning. or wee the radicals will endeavor to exienuate this shameful affair on the ground that Mr. Jobnson has provoked bostility by political speeches.

Other means of silencing him having failed, they-now have recourse to a riot and fire pistols at those who assemble to cheer him, =~ We confess that we should not have been surprised if one of the pistol shots fired during the Indianapolis riot had killed President Johnson. This is what the radicals bave been threatening to do, and what they willdo if they can muster up courage. Their incendiary rantings and ravings will end in assassination, unless they find some less dangerous mode of getting rid of the man who slands boldly between them and the accomplishment of their revolutionary schemes. Wg warned the Presi- dent to be upon his guard when he first started upon this tour, and the pistol shots at Indiana- polis now emphasize our warning. The assassi- nation of President Lincoln was brought about just in the same way. The rebel papers abused him and threatened him, as the radical papers have abused and threatened President Jonson, until the more rash and foolhardy of the rebels bogan to accusiom their minds to the possibility of his murder. Kebel fanatics talked about it, as radical fanatics have talked about removing Mr.-Johnson, until they at last fired the hearis of Booth and Payne, and the deed wasdone. Before long, sif the present crusade against Mr. Johnson con- tinues, we shall see some radical Booth eager to distinguish himself in the same infamous and cowardly manner. The danger is more immiuent than most persons imagine. We shall breathe more freely when the President is once more safe at Washington. His loss to the nation at such a crisis as this would be in- calculable, We cannot realize the situation in which his death would leave the country. Let us, therefore, beg the President to take care of himself and his suite to take care of him. We do not intend to excite unnecessary alarm ; but there is really room for the gravest appre- hensions. Those radicals who threaten murder so savagely are none too good to do it, and those ruffians who shoot down the Prosident’s supporters will not long hesitate to fire at the President himself. Radical emissaries and enemies will provoke them.to violent acts if possible, as was the case Orleans is having a serious effect at the North. The only part left for them to play in these have no voice in the question of restoration ; that is left to the North, the conservative masses of 1 spirit, as well as to restore them to their former political statua; but this will be unavailing as long as they show a rebellions or vindictive conduct may turn one way or the other. Advertising Medinms and Advertising Agen- cies. Wo notice that there are a numbor of per- sons going about the city and couniry collect- ing advertisements for various papers. Some- (imes these men profess to have some connec- tion with the Heratp, and impudently receive money and give receipts on our account. In other cases they will be more honest, and will tisements for us, paying them a certain com- mission. It ought to be generally known by this time, however, that the Hrrap never em- ploys any such persons and has no agents to collect either subscriptions or advertisements, We deal directly with the public and have nothing to do with middle-men. If a merchant wants to advertise with us let him bring or send the advertisement to our office, and we will publish it at our regular rates. This is so no necessity for complicating it by leiting an agent interfere and receive a commission either from us or our customers. The public should understand, once for all, that only the small and weakly papers resort to the agency dodge to drum up patrons, The moment that a journal is forced to adopt auch devices it is valueless as an advertising me- dium. If it be not so generally known and universally circulated as to require an agent to bunt up advertisers for it, then it is not the paper for business men to patronize. The ad- General Baird's Report on the New Orleans Riot—The Rebels of the Sonth. General Baird, in his official report on the riot at New Orleans, makes out a very bad case against the old rebels of that city. We must admit that the civil authorities, and espe- cially the police, which were composed chic) of that class of persons, behaved in a bruial manner when the riot occurred, and we de- nounce them for their barbarity. As to ihe legality of the resuscitated convention, Which caused the trouble originally, that is very quez- tionablt, and as to the expediency or motive for calling the convention-there can be but one opinion with impartial people, and that is, that the ecting was unnecessary apd revolu- tionary. General Baird lays all the blame of the riot on the civil authorities, He regards the assemblage of conventionists in the light of a public meeting, asserting its right to meet the same as any other public meeting. He seems (o ignore the fact that it was more than this—that it assumed to bea legally constituted body, with the highest funetions, with power lo change the organic laws of the State. The question was not as to the right of people as- sembling in public mecting to discuss politices— that no one questioned; but as to the legality or illegal'ty of a body that claimed the power to change the fundamental laws of tho State. Still we do not think that the Mayor of the city or General Baird had any right to prevent or protect such an assemblage. If the conven- tiontsts had no legal authority their action would have fallen to the ground. At all events the legality of the convention would have been decided afterwards by a higher authority. Genoral Baird was wrong in undertaking to de- cide that it was legal, and the city authorities were wrong in attempting to prevent its assem- bling. But when there was imminent danger of a riot the duty of both the civil and military au- thorifies was to prevent that by all moans in their power, Looking at the occurrence in this point. of view we are compelled to say, from General Baird’s own report, that he was culpable. While he endeavors to lay the blame on others it appears that Lieutenant Governor Voorhees urgently appealed to Lim to send troops to proventa riot. The letter of the Lieutenant Governor shows also that the Mayor of the city concurred in thie appenl. That the General had not the troops at hand or in readiness to act after being aware of the excitement aud apprehension of danger is truly astonishing. The appeal of Mr. Voorhees in conjunction with the Mayor for troops shows that the civil authorities, so fur from plotting the riot, were anxious to prevent it. ‘The whole tone gf General Baird's report, especially where he uses such terms as “ white Uaion men” as applied to one class, and those the original disturbers of the peace, shows clearly that he was « political partison and totally unfit for the crisis. It is unnecessary to go over the whole ground again, for the subject has been thoroughly discuesed. In a word, the blame br crime of the riot must be divided between the bitter radical agitators and the vindictive rebels, But we have a word to say specially to.ghe old rebels of the South—-a word of caution an warning that may do them g@d if they will heed it. Should President Jounson’s humane policy to restore the South be defeated by the radicals, these mon may blame themee! for it in a great moasure. At New Orleans and Memphis they behaved in a manner to provoke bitter feeling in the North, and the vindictive spirit of a portion of the Southern press arouses indignant opposition here. We are aware that the beat and most sensible people of that section, and particularly euch mm tain paper is and whata large circulation it has and how much good it will do you to ad- vertise in that jonraal; but if you need to be told all this the probabilities are that the story is bogus; for an excellent paper widely circu- lated is its own advertising agent, and does not want any paid trumpeter to sound ils praises, This simple, common sense principle } will apply not only to agents, but to those cir- culars headed with Irish harps and containing meaner notices with which a wretched radical rival annoys the Huratp advertisers. to advertisements is that advertisers often de- feat their own objects and injure their own business by advertising injudiciously. The practice of disfiguring the face of mature by unsightly daubs announcing various nostrums isa casein point. To such an excess has this was once smeared by a patent medicine ven- der, and the cap-stone of one of the pyramids advised the tourist to buy a ceriain sort of blacking. Such advertising is a waste of money. Tho indignont traveller resolves nover to spend a cent with the man who is so desti- by the last Legislature has rendered these up advertising cards in cara, ferry boats and stages is hardly less to be condemned. It does no good to the advertiser and really annoys the travelling public. The great, full page, big type, hand bill siyle of advertisements, adorned with scraggy pictures of ugly men some of our struggling contemporaries, are equally offensive and objectionable. The de- sideratum for a wise advertiser is a neat, com- pact advertisement published in the paper hay- ing the largest circulation, and this may be secured in the Herato without the inierposi- tion of an agont. The Condition of Mexico Annrchy Likely to Follow Maximitinn’s Abdication. Maximilian’s advent into Mexico by no means -secured peace to that distracted conniry; nor does his approaching abdication and departure promise to give it- greater quiet. The empire may now be looked upon as a thing of the past; it was inspired by and was born during the rebellion in this country, and ft received its death blow when Lee surrendered, just as much as the confederacy of Jeff Davis did, and ought to be buried iv the same grave and, that, too, by the same hands. The end of the rebellion was not exactly in ite fullest sense peace to us: and the end of the empire will not be to the Mexi- cans, unless same strong outside Power stops in to maintein authority until (he proper forms ofa republican government can be assured to the people of Mexico. That Power should be the United States, and she ought to back up thie intervention witha goodly arrey of armed men. The empire wee an insult to the United States, and she should be “in at the death.” If the United States had failed the empire would have been a success, and since the reverse is the case this govern- ment ought to be represented at the funeral. The republigans or liberals of Mexico were fighting in the same canee that we were, though ibe features of the parallel can be but indis- inetly drawn. Geographically, Mexico is as Generals Lee and Joe Johnsion, Alcx-| an integral part of the Uniled States, ander Stephens and Governor Orr, have no | cventually to be swallowed up in her sympathy with theee mischievous agitators ; but | as Texas, was, but more peaceably, the the whole South is beid responsible for euch conduct. The Wad and violent rebels play into the hands of the radicals and paralyze the efforts of the conservatives to bring reat ration and peace to the Southern States. We have werned them from time to time of the consequences, and we tell them now that unless they pursue a different course the aenti- ment of the North will be aroused agains! them. The passions of the war are not yet cooled down, and they ought to remember that they are a conquered people and at the mercy of their conquerors. Resistance to the autho- rity of the government or even to the will of the peoule of the Norh wand he madness means being education, not warfare. therefore owe ft to Mexico as much almost as to the Southern States to aesist her at this critical moment in forming ® republican government of strengih and energy, and thus give her the first lesson in that schooling which is to make her in the fuiure a worthy member of the groat republic. General Sheriflan with five thousand men can give her this lesson to perfection. ‘The present condition of Mexico is very bad indeed, and unless such steps as we have indi- cated are taken the evacuation of the country by the common enemy, which has for four years pagt united all frotiqns, will be the siewal Cor We | .

Ovr Recerrs or Gop rrom Evrors.-—Gold still continues to come over to this country from Europe in heavy shipments. On the 10th instant the steamer City ot Boston, from Liver- pool, brought over $250,000, and the Hermana, from Southampton, brought $310,000. Then we have the information by the cable that om the 8th of September the Jura sailed from that precious freight. At this rate, the term sporadic will hardly apply to this returning lide in gold} but it'must be attributed to some general and important reaction abroad in favor of American securities and investments. Mean- time our increased receipts of gold from Cali- fornia, Arizona, &c., are “equally remarkable. Our receipts from San Francisco since January of this year have been gver $29,000,000, againat some $12,000,000 for the same period last year. With such substantial facts in our favor, we cannot perceive why an early return to the garded aa an impossible achievement, Every- thing is operating in favor of this great result, it appears to us, except the head of the Trea sury, who does not seem to comprehend the means and advantages within his-grasp.
