WEDNESDAY MORNMTO, SSUPT. 14,1870
ELECTION RETURNS.
Returns received from aeventy towns ad
ditional to those published yesterday morn
ing, give Perltam 10,270, Roberts 8185. The
same towns last year gave Chamberlain 935G,
Smith 7481, Hichbnvn 240. Chamberlain’s
majority in these towns was 935; Perham s
is 2085. The majority for Perham in the 1G4
towns of which we have published the returns
is 6129. The last received returns increase
Pelham's majority over Chamberlains, and
indicate that Perham’s total majority will be
larger than Ctmndwrlain’s, and above the Hj?
tires wc jj**ve yesterday itiorninjf.
THE CHAMBERLATS MOVEMENT.
The real character of the Chamberlain
movement has never been a moment in
doubt to those who took note of its mani
festations and accompaniments. Iltit
plainly as it might he understood by those
who gave it the requisite attention, we con
fess ourselves surprised at the reckless and
audacious manner with which the move
ment was identified with the Democracy
during the closing week of the campaign.
We content ourselves w ith giving a few
facts and leave our Republican readers to
draw their own inferences.
Tha Portland Argus for the twfo or three
closing days of the campaign contained
the following editorial invocations and
warnings, printed in large type with spe
cial emphasis:
“A vote for Perham Is a vote
for Morrill.”
“Tote for Roberts and give
aid to Chamberlain” !!
The same paper contained notices of
Democratic caucuses that had instructed
their nominees to support Gov. Chaniber
laia for Senator!!!
The Republican caucus in Portland
nominated Messrs. Stevens, l^icke,Bonney
and Burgess fov Representatives. The two
former were instructed to favor Mr. Mor
rill for Senator—the two latter preferred
Gov. Chamberlain. On election day the
Chamberlain Republicans refused to sup
port the two candidates favorable to Mr.
Morrill and made a coalition by which
Messrs. Burgess and Bonney and two
Dernoerats were chosen Representatives.
Let it be remembered that the friends of
Mr. Morrill to the last man voted the full
ticket including Burgess and Bonney.
In Gardiner, in a very lull caucus, Mr.
Palmer, a Morrill man was nominated.
The supporters of Gov. Chamberlain bolt
ed and voted with the Democrats—but
were not successful.
In Wiuthrop, in the regular Republican
caucus, Mr. May, a friend of Senator Mor
rill, was nominated—and the Chamberlain
Republicans bolted, uuited with the Dem
ocrats and elected their man.
The bolt in both Gardiner and Winthrop
was the more palpably outrageous and in
excusable because Messrs. Palmer and
May were members of the last Legislature
and by general usage entitled to re-nomi
nation.
But individual instances need not bo
multiplied. It was evident all over the
State that thtf Chamberlain republicans
would join bauds with democrats against
Mr. Morrill and the regular republican or
ganization. A despatch which wc find in the
Portland Advertiser dated Lewiston, Mon
day- at noon says: “Chamberlain republi
cans are to a great extent voting for the dem
ocratic candidate for State Senator. In
Auburn the democrats, Chamberlain re
publlcans, and labor reformers, generally
until on the candidate lor representative
opposed to the republican candidate.”
This, recollect, Is what we find printed
conspicuously In the Portland Advertiser,
Governor t'lunnberlaiu’s personal organ.
We call nUeutiou to these facts at this
time while they are fresh. They speak fov
themselves. They are movements for the
benefit of the enemy. They are not sim
ple factiou, but the results of a league to
destroy the republican party and bnild
up the (fcmocraey. There are some re
publicans doubtless iu this Chamberlain
movement who did not clearly understand
its drill and scope, but facts like the
above will settle the question for them
and admonish them that there is danger
iu the path before them.
This is from a paper of a city where the
people are dyin» with the base-hall fever,
and where the “Ked Stockings’' are esteemed
as demi-gods. Philadelphia has once called
forth the same lamentations : “The Red I.egs,
the great, are fallen, are fallen, are fallen,
and become a by-word and a laughing stock
with the inhabitants of the city that sitteth at
the foot of the great lake. For Forkopolis
had drank of the wine of the joy of their
triumphs, and Democratic politicians had
sought to commit abominations with them,
and the proprietor of the Gibson House had
waxed fat through the abundance of the custom
which they brought him. But in one hour
has their greatness departed, and Cincinnati
sitteth in sackcloth and ashes. Waiter, bring
us a potsherd, that we may scrape ourselves
withal.”
A party of men engaged on the new road
to connect Coth Valley with Bear River Val
ley, in Uuh, have discovered a huge natural
cave, with a stream of water running through
toward the entrance. Some of the party,
with lights, penetrated the cave the distanci
of about two miles, without discovering an)
other outlet. In some places the roof of the
cave was so high it could not be seen with tlx
lights litey had. They intend shortly to ex
plore the natural wonder thoroughly.
The Presides* baa designated Captain R
VV. Nhufeidt, L\ S. JK-, to take charge of the
expedition for the survey of the Tehuantepec
and Nicaragua rentes for s. ship canal aero si
the Isthmus of Darien, is* accordance will
the late act of Congress appropriating $30,
DUO for that purpose.

THE ELECTIOX.
[From the Portland Press.]
The result in the State and district demon
strates the fact that the Republican party is
invincible, and that they van beat the enemy
without bringing all their forces into notion.
It is to be hoped however that the -‘reserve*"
will learn that it it neither wise or safe to re
ly upon others to do what they ought to do
themselves, and that in the next campaign
they will belli roll UP 11 majority for Governor
that shall more readily represent the strength
and capacity of the party to which they belong.
In reference to the coalition on the Senator
question the same paper says :
“The coalition between the Republican
friends of Gov. Chamberlain and the Demo- '
crats of this city, whereby two Democrats
arc elected to the legislature, is greatly to
be regretted and will not be likely to improve '
the chances of the Governor for an election
to the L\ S. Senate, llad the friends of Sen- ,
alor Morrill acted upon the same principle,;
Portland would have sent lour Democrats to
Augusta, and for ought we can see they would I
hav e hud us much .justification for their conduct
as have those Republicans who voted against
candidates supposed to be opposed to their
favorite. .
The friends of Gov. Chamberlain participat
ed in the primaries and were beaten—the op
position electing a majority of the delegates
to nominate candidates. This opposition ma
jority nominated two candidates favorable
and two opposed to Gov. C.’s election as Sen
ator. and each ought to have received the
support of the party. It was never consid
ered fair to toss coppers with the understand
ing ‘Heads I win and tails you lose.’ ”
[From The Bangor Whig and Courier.]
The election yesterday passed off quietly,
the Republicans manifested less than their
usunl degree of interest in the success of their
ticket, while the Democrats worked industri
ously through the day, bringing out a large
vote.
The returns indicate a falling off in the
Republican vote, as bad been anticipated,
while the Democrats have turned out in much
stronger force than last year.
The causes ol the decline in the Republican
vote are various, but it is to be attributed
principally to the influences brought to bear
upon the temperance question and to dissatis
factions engendered by the introduction of
issues not directly involved in the canvass.
A general apathy prevailed in the party
throughout the State, and much of the
strength brought to the polls was wasted in
the confusion of tickets brought about by |
questions of personal preference and the in- \
terest excited in the Senatorial election next.
winter.
Bangor has, foror.ee, gorged herself with
Democracy, giving Roberts a heavy majority,
sending a full Democratic delegation to the
Legislature and expressing the local ap
preciation of the eminent public services of
Marcellus Emery, by giving him the lead as
candidate foe Congress.
We have sustained a fair working majority
in the State and Legislature, and this cam
paign will serve to awaken the party so that
the next time we clear the decks for action we
trust every man will he found at his station.
[From the Eastern Argus.]
Democrats of Maine, we salute you witli
pritle and with satisfaction ! You accomplished
a noble work at the polls yesterday. Without
the prestige of victory, without organization,
and without money, you met the dominant par
ty flushed with the pride of long continued
success, fortified with unstinted means, and
armed with thousands of offices, and succeed
ed in not only maintaining your ground, but
in driving the enemy back with great loss.
With the meagre Representatives returns at
hand it would be unwise to venture any opin
ion upon the strength of Chamberlain or Mor
rill for the U. S. Senatorship, but it looks
that tbe democrats will hold the balance of
power if the contest is carried beyond the
caucus.
liangor did nobly—not only overcoming the
great radical majority there, but giving Gen.
Roberts a majority of over six hundred and
electing three democratic representatives.
Lewiston. Auburn, and Biddeford also make
a fine exhibit and Portland elects two demo
cratic Representatives.
[From the Lewiston Journal.]
A large portion of the members of tbe
Grand Army seem to be voting for Roberts,
the democratic nominee for Governor. This
will seriously diminish Mr. Perhatn’s vote
here. The lull republican vote is given Mr.
Frye, the republican nominee for Congress.
A large portion of tbe Chamberlain republi
cans are voting for Dr. Giucelon, the demo
cratic nominee for State Senator, instead of
the republican nominee, Capt. Holland. The
balance of the county lie bet is generally sup
ported by the republicans.
We have never seen such a variety of print
ed tickets iu circulation, especially for repre
sentatives to the Legislature. Some of these
split tickets have the republican candidates
for county officers printed incorrectly—wheth
er designedly or not, we know not,—and thus
all such votes east will be lost to the republi
can nominees. The U. S. Senator question is
seriously aff ecting the vote for representatives.

Boston, Sept. 9, 1870.
Once more the searching, enervating term
of summer is passed, and those inhabitants of
our crowded city, who were obliged to remain
within dusty counting rooms, or pore over
ponderous ledgers, during the widte heat of
July and August, draw long breaths of thank
fulness that tlie long, long agony is over, and
the caol days of September come again. Yes,
they come pouring in by rail and steamer—
wanderers from the mountains, the forests,
the seaports, and the farm-lands; some bene
■ fitted and refreshed by their sojourn “Afar
from the cities’ din and strife," and others,
alas! wearied anew witli the dissipation of
life at fashionable watering places. The
children have enjoyed it well, and whole
troops of them have come home from vaca
tions all too brief, to settle down to the old
j routine of school life and school duties, num
•bering their rompings and seamperings
through green fields and meadows, and amid
the sweet clover blossoms and new mown
bay, with the things that were, and shall be
no more, until another year shall bring the
anticipated release, l’astors return to tbeir
docks stronger and browner, and belter fitted
to cope with another year’s labor. The me
chanic, the carpenter, the laborer, and neaily
nil have had their little summer rest and rec
reation—something to think and talk about all
through the coining months ; and so time rolls
on, and last year at this period is but as yes
terday, and the days and weeks move on in
swift cycles as life advances. And “the bub”
of the universe is revolving much after the
same eld sort, notwithstanding wars and ru
mors of wars, nnd the mixed condition of
things generally, which everybody is attempt
ing to disentangle and straighten to their lik
ing, so that whether on the street, or in cars
or coach, one hears only such significant and
detached words as “Napoleon—Bismarck—
the French—Strasbouig etc., etc.” One is
burling anathemas upon Napoleon’s devoted
head—another grow ls over the news of I’rus
sian victory, and so on to the end of the chap
ter, public opinion scorning to be seriously di
vided in respect to sympathy, ^ho French
emperor's road seems to have had a turn, or
rather he lias come to a steep declivity adown
which ho lias tumbled so precipitately and
ignominiou-dy, that the pros]>ecl seems faint
indeed, of his ever attaining the lost eminence.
As I said before, affairs here are pursuing
the even tenor of their way, and about the
usual amount of repairing, tearing down and
building, renovating and rejuvenating is go
ing on, without which Boston would not he
Boston at all. Streets arc being raised and
repaved, our new post office is progressing
finely. Little & Brown are replacing tlicir
old place which was destroyed by fire, with a
handsome new block, and the monstrous Cath
olic cathedral on Washington street, lias ar
rived at such a state of completion that the
slaters are at work upon the roof. A horse
railroad track is being laid by the Metropoli
tan company in Summer and Chauneey strci ts.
for temporary use during repairs in Washing
ton street.
While progress and improvement have been
busy in various other places, the leading
theatres have donned new dresses, and one
lias taken another name, and that which was
formerly known as Selwyin's Theatre, will
henceforth he recognized as the Globe, under
the management of Mr. Charles Fechter, sup
ported by an eminent corps of artists. On
Monday next, Monte (,'risto will be brought
out at the opening, and the crowd that flocked
thither at the commencement of the sale of
tickets for that particular performance, was
something immense. Miss Kate Field, in a
glow of enthusiastic admiration for Mr.
Fechter’s genius, has written u very elaborate
article—a sort of autobiography of his life—
which appears in the September number of the
Atlantic. It is decidedly readable, and those
interested ill the career, past and present of
this famed tragedian, would do well to peruse
it—making due allowance of course—for the
possible partiality of some of her criticism.
A great many desirable changes have been
made in the Boston Theatre, which will be
managed by Mr. Selwyn. The Lydia 1 homp
son troupe will make their deh/i there next
week, and several stars are promised tor the
coming season.
The Museum opens with nearly the same
stock company as last year, and it really
seemed like gettiug home again, to "top in
there of an evening and see the familiar laces
of Warren, Mr. Barren Mr. Ilardcnhurgh.
Mrs. Vincent, Miss t'iark. little Miss Giimau
and the rest of that pains-taking company.
The other evening, as the curtain rose tor the
first time and disclosed Warren sitting at the
deskill his role of Charley Sprague, one young
lady remarked to another with a giggle—
"There is old Warren.” I could not re-train
myself from casting a reproving glance nciar.d
me. I could never,—for one moment apply
that undignified cognomen to him. I believe I
appreciate his genius too highly to he irrever
ent, and genius or superior talent « ■aid com
mand my respect anywhere.
Besides the dramatic tr< ats in store for us,
music is to lend its charm to the long autumn
aud winter evenings, and the concert season
will be managed by Theodore Thomas with an
oehestra of sixty music ians, assisted by that
wonderful pianist, Miss Anna Melilig. The
first one w ill take place October 4th, in the
Music llall, to he followed by nine others.
Two evenings will be devoted to Beethoven’s
works, in recognition of the Festival Season.
Mile. Nilsson who arrived in New York last
Saturday, is engaged to sing with the Handel
and Haydn society here, at four Oratorio per
formances, as is also the well known tenore,
Mr. Lefranc.
There is some sort of a project on foot, to
establish a course of concerts—procuring the
bpst artists for the purpose—anil regulating
the prices of admission so that people of mod
erate means may Tucjoy them, as well as those
of more prosperous circumstances. If perse
vered in. it w ill certainly he a blessing to the
community, for there are very many real
lovers of music, who cannot gratify their de
sire more than two or three times a year, for
the reason that it costs from one dollar to a
dollar and a half to attend any first class mu
sical entertainment in Music Hall, and an
opera for poor people, is not to be thought of.
There are exclusive people, who, of course,
prefer not to come in contact with “tne vul
gar Jieril,” but the appreciation of the true ami
beautiful is oftentimes us keen in the lowly
breast, us in that which throbs beneath silks
and satins or fine broadcloth. Hasten the
millennium, when our boasted republican
land shall be republican in thought, word and
deed, as well as in name.
The soldiers have been mustered at Con
cord this week, and complain bitterly of the
dust, n<» rain having fallen during the time.
To-day is the great day, and there is to he a
grand review by the Governor, he having left
the city yesterday for Concord.
A prohibition ratification meeting was held
in Tremont Temple last evening, which was
largely attended. A number of prominent
! temperance men were present and made
speeches, among them Gen. Neal Dow of
Maine, the Rev. Dr. Miner,and the lion.
Whiting Griswofd, nominee of the party foi
Attorney General. At the meeting they en
dorsed the nomination of Wendell Phillips for
Governor, and adjourned with three cheers
for him.
Mr. Hill of the Boston Juurnal departs foi
Europe thi- week. It is ssid that the state oi
his health requires such a step. Poutia.
