Logan Explains the Defeat in Maie, Caizcago, September 15—1 8. m.— Senator Logan was interviewed by a reporter of the National associated press yesterday and said: “I don't think the result_in Maine will have any very decided effect on other states. It is one of those things that occur occasionally that no person can ac- count for. It is as much a surprise to the fusionists as it is to the republi- cans. Nobody expected Maine to go that way; it it a burprise all round. can't account for it, unless it was the temperance vote. e temperance people went over to Plaisted, on ac- count of a grudge thdy had against Gov. Davis in reference to the ap- pointment of agents in the_state for the sale of liquor under the Maine lig- uor law. That was the objectfonthey were trying to counteract when I was there. 1think, however, the repub licans will elect presideatial electors in November.

Hon. A. M. Jones eaid the elections in Vermont and Maine show that everymau not a republican is going 10 be at the polls this fall. It showed good orgauizstion in the renks of the democracy. One effect of the Maine election, said Mr. Jones, will be to frighten the bubiness interests of the county. They will see tho possibility of the preeidential eleation boing thrown into the house, which may given greenback president and unset- tle the country. This will have the effect of bringing all the solid business men to the support of the republican party.

PorTLAND, Me., September 15, 3 a. m.—1It is considered as very prebable that the republicans have a majority of the members of the legislature,and at loast will have a majority on jcint ballot, thus insuring the election of a npnbfinu senator tosucceed Hamlin, There is some doubt as towhether the repablicans will control both branches arnot. The old congressmen are all returned—Reed, Frye and Lindsy, in the First, Second aud and Third distriots; snd Ladd and Murch,green- backers, in the other two districts. Later returns will not change this. Returns are coming in slowly, asthere are many remote towns and villages which bave neither telegraph or ra road communication.

Loxpox, September 15,1 a. m.— The excitement over a dastsrdly at tempt to wreck the express train from Bdinburg 1o London yesterday, on ac- count of the supposition that Grand Duke Constantice and Admiral Popoff were on bosrd, has scarcely abated to day. The officials of the road have gon- to Busby, about sixteen miles from the Euston Square Station, to investigate the circumstances. They s.y there is no doubt of the intention of those who planted the dynamite where it was found to blo= up-the ex- press train, bat are led by certain facts connected with the apparatus to think the conspirators were disturbed in their operations, and hence did not quite complete the proper arrange- ment of the apparatus. Further search has revealed twenty seven more pigees of explosive material,and there is every reason for believing that had the conspirators not been interrupted, or in some way frightened off when set- ting tne trap, an explosion must bave oconrred, mvolving an awful wreck aud loss of fe. The package of dy namite which was first found weighed several pounds,and was sufficient to blow the whole traininto the air. The discovery of the misplaced fish plates, whigh the miscreants had removed f r oli@h.epase of Liting the rails, aud had evidently no time to replace befora their hasty flight, proves how narrow must have been their escape from de- tection. It is reported that a faint clus leads in the direction of certain circles of Nibilist refugees in London, as was intimated in these dispatches yesterday. BEAR AND FURBEAR.
