MONDAY MORNING. SEPT. 36, 1870.
Tlio democrats of New York having re
nominated Hoffman for Governor and
Beach for Lieutenant Governor, the cam
paign in that State is fairly opened, and
promises to be warm and exciting.
Election takes place on the first Tuesday
in November. The immense frauds
which have been carried on in the metrop
olis have at length aroused a proper
spirit to oppose them, and it is hoped that
the law passed by Congress at its last ses
sion may aid in obtaining a fair vote. The ^
result will be noted with much interest,
since it will seem to indicate whether an
honest election is possible or not in a city
like New York. With a fair election,
there is little doubt that the republicans
can carry the State if they will unite and
work in earnest.
The appointment of Minister to England
has been offered to and accepted by Sena
tor Morton of Indiana. Mr. Morton is
one of our ablest public men, and will
bring high qualifications to the office. He
is in the prime of life, and though suffer
ing somewhat physically is vigorous in
mind and active in public affairs. This
appointment was tendered some w eeks ago
by the President to Hon. Lot M. Morrill,
who felt obliged to refuse the distinguish
ed position offered him. The proffer of so
important a place is a mark of confidence
from President Grant that cannot fail to be
highly gratifying to Mr. Morrill and his
friends, and is honorable to our State.
POLITICAL.
Massachusetts Politics have been sim
plified by the formal declaration of Gen.
Butler that he is not a candidate for the
Senate, and that he desires only a re-elec
tion to the House.
The political campaign in Maryland
will be unusually active and vigorous.
The result will probably depend on the
negro vote, for which democrats arc bid
ding high.
The Oregon legislature has elected
Colonel J. K. Kelly to the United States
Senate, in place of George H. Williams*
The republicans of Kentucky will make
a lively canvass during the remaining
few weeks of the campaign, in the hope
of making some gains.
The Democrats of Cecil county, Md.,
have resorted to a new dodge to prevent
the colored men from voting. They have
industriously circulated reports among the
colored voters that it will cost them five
or six dollars each to register, whereas it
really costs nothing.
A letter from Chief Justice Chase,
wr.tten January 1, 1808, is just published,
and is chiefly interesting as containing his»
defense from the charge that he shirked
and delayed the trial ot Jefferson Davis.
He shows why he could not attend court
in Richmond before May, 1807, but since
then he claims he has always been ready;
and even if he had not been he was in no
wise responsible for the delay, as “the
trial of Jeff Davis might at any time have
taken place, that is, since his capture in
May, 1805, either by military commission,
when military commissions were being
held for the trial of offenders under the
authority of the president, or by a court
held by the district judge.”
The Portland Press, at the close of an
article upon the election and the Senatorial
question says:
“We conclude, therefore, that there is
no foundation for the report that though
the opjHJuents ot Gov. Chamberlain con
stitute a majority of the. Republicans of
both branches of the Legislature, a coali
tion of his friends with the Democrats will
nevertheless elect that gentleman Senator.
It is not by any means certain that even
such an unholy' alliance would be able to
effect his election. But if it were able, it
is not to be supposed that such an alliance
could be fotmed, and we have the fullest
assurance that the Republicans of the next
Legislature will settle their differences as
Republicans.”
There has got to be a little shaking and
gifting in the Democratic ranks, and a little
more fortitude and independence among
the Republican voters referred to, and a
young democracy will arise to control
the political destinies of the State and
Nation.—Machiax Union.
According to appearances it must be very
“young;” we hardly think it has yet been
born.
Our letter from South America will be
read with pleasure and profit by those

A singular coincidence was noted laU-ly in

Eleven more travellers have fallen victims
to the insane ambition of ascending Mont
Blanc. A telegram from Chamouni states
that a party of tourists, numbering eleven
persons, while undertaking the perilous feat
of ascending that mountain, were swallowed
up by an avalanche, none escaping. Two of
the adventurers lost were Americans, named
Bean and liandall.
Milwaukee is the greatest grain market in the
world. It.lias six large elevators, able to
hold from half a million to a million and a half
bushels. Yet last week five hundred cars
were standing in the freight yards and on the
trneks of the city, unable to discharge their
wheat. This immense glut is from old wheat,
and the merchants estimate that there are a
million more bushels of the crop of 1809 to
come.
It is reported from the Red River country
that the officers of the Canadian expedition
have not managed wisely, and that the peo
ple of Winnipeg are disgusted with the in
vaders, the leaders of which are reported ns
having violated the terms of the agreement
entered into by the Canadian government
with Riel and his followers, llis bad faith is
said to have greatly exasperated the French
half-breed population, and everywhere symp
toms ot furious disaffection are manifested.
One writer says : “The elements of a rebell
ion far more formidable and extensive than
that which extorted from Canada its conces
sions, are in full train, and ready to burst
into flames at any moment.” The expedition
will most likely prove a costly and unprofita
ble investment. Winnipeg is too far from
Canada to make it worth wkile to hold the
country by a permanent military force, which
seems to be the only means by which it can
be subjected to the Dominion.
LETTER FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
Montevideo, Uboouat, Aug. 16th, 1870.
To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal:
Our friends nearly seren thousand miles
distant may have some interest in facts and
affairs of this part of the world. Owing to
the want of properly organized communica
tion between this portion of South America
and the United States, and to other decisive
causes, the North American public is greatly
deficient in accurate information as to cities,
trade, nnd affairs on the River Plate and its
tributaries. As an example, the standard
works of our libraries and schools give the
population of this city at from 12,000 to 15,
XX), whereas a reasonable statement of the
number of people now inhabiting the city
and its suburbs would be 80,000 to 100,
XX). Montevideo was founded by the Span
iards in 1729, and was the focal point from
which went forth the people and influences
which dominate in the extensive domain
A country drained by the immence river
ind its branches at the mouth of which the
:ity is located. Its founders could not well
nave chosen a more favorable site for a city of
commercial importance and beauty of loca
tion. On the whole immence chain of At
lantic coast of the two Americas no city has
mure attractive advantages of situation. It
is built on a narrow pcninusla, the land rising
gradually on three sides from the water, the ]
highest line of elevation being less than two
hundred feet above the sea tide. The streets
are laid at right angles, running to the water,
allowing the ocean breezes unobstructed pas
sage through its numerous avenues and af
fording rapid and complete drainage, which
tends greatly to tho cleanliness and health of
the city. On the landward side the Spaniards
originally constructed a strongly fortified wall.
But the growth of the city has gone much be
yond this ancient limit, and the wall, its gates
nnd defences are now regarded merely as
monuments of the past. The streets have
good width, and are well paved with granite
taken from abundant sources of supply within
the city, which are also adequate for exten
sive improvements contemplated in the future.
The sidewalks are admirably laid with gran
ite flagging or heavy marble tile imported
from Europe. The water to supply the city
is soon to be brought from the country at the
distance of nearly forty miles, at a cost of be
tween two and three millions of dollars, the
works for the same being nearly completed.
Originally the houses were of one story, built
in the old Spanish style, with brick walls,
horizontal roofs covered solidly with tile, the
exterior and interior of the houses having a
thick coating of flue mortar. To many of
these houses of one story a second and a third
are being adfed, so largely has the value of
the lots increased as to afford one of the best in
vestments of capital to make these additions
to the capacity of the houses and stores. Most
of the new buildings erected in late years
have been two, three, or four stories. Many
oi uic nouse* are utmost palatial in size anu
expense of finish. Most of the principal resi
dences have heavily constructed hulls and
stairways, the floors and steps of which are
chiefly of marble imported from Europe. The
amount of this material from foreign quarries
used in the houses and public buildings of
Montevideo greatly surprise those who view
them the first time. The stores, dwellings,
hotels, and churches are as unlike those in
the United States as the civilizations of the
two Americas. More than two-thirds of the
inhabitants of the city are natives of Europe,
or the children of recently arrived immigrants.
Of the foreign population the most numerous
are the Italians, and there are many French,
Germans, Spanish, llasques, English, Scotch,
and a liberal sprinkling of other nationalities.
The foreign population, though in a large
majority in the city and probably constituting
full half the people of Uruguay, take no ac
tive part in its political affairs, while more
than half of the property and commerce of
the country is in their hands. This city is
said to be the wealthiest of its size in South
America. It has a banking capital of nearly
ten milliont of dollars. It has a trade of
twenty-five millions to thirty milliont of dol
lars per annum. Notwithstanding the civil
convulsions and unsettled condition of the
country the population, trade and wealth of
Montivcdeo have rapidly increased the last
ten years. It has six miles of horse railroad
———————————
and it soon to have more, and is thoroughly
lighted with gas.
The River l’latc interests are rapidly aug
menting in importance in the commercial
world. The magnitude of its business can be
estimated somewhat by the amount of regular
steam navigation which Europe furnishes for
the performance of its transportation. At this
time about forty large European steamers ply
regularly between Montivedeo and the leading
ports of the old world. The size of these
steamships ranges from seven hundred tothree
thousand tons each, and most of them of the
recently improved models. To these must be
added a large number of sailing vessels and a
numerous fleet of steamers which ply up and
down the l’latc and its branches. One and
two hundred sail vessels are frequently in the
harbor of Montevideo. The combined trade
of the River Plate has risen to more than
$00,000,000 per annum, yet the United States
has not a single steamer running to this point
intelligence of all kinds reaches here from Eu
rope many days before it anives from the
United States. |The ten Daily and an
equal number of Weekly Newspapers sup
ported in Montevideo, are compelled to select
their foreign new s from European journals, or
publish that which has become stale to their
readers. Uruguay has but a few miles o!
steam railway, and this is now the great ne
cessity for the development and pacification
of the country. This want is likely to be soon
supplied. English capital is soon to con
struct a main-trunk line into the best portion
of the country, starting from Montevideo and
making this the focal point of a system of
railroads which cannot fail to make it a popu
lous and powerful commercial city. The soil,
climate, andj resources of the River Plate
countries are attracting great attention at the
commercial centers of Europe, and there arc
increasing and conclusive reasons why the
United States should not forget her interests
here. There is no valid reason why our mail
steamers after having come Jire-sixths of the
distance, should run no farther than Rio Ja
neiro. The business men ol Montevideo,
Buenos Ayres, and other cities of the Platt,
want direct steam communication with the
United States. It is to be hoped that such a
demand will soon cease to be a question of the
fu ure. An American.

The Reporter says the buildings of Orren
Reed on the river road, Skowhegan, were en
tirely destroyed by fire a few nights since.
The fire was discovered in the barn. As there
had been no fire or light inside during the
day or evening, the fire was set by an incen
diary. The loss falls very heavily upon Mr.
Reed, as he had just rebuilt his barn at con
siderable expense and had a house that was
finished but a year or two since. Little or
nothing was saved. Insured for $1,300,which
will nut cover half the loss.
Forty-three years ago there were seven
practising lawyers in Branswick. Now there
are only two or three, says the Telegraph. Of
the twenty-four Justices of the Peace, then in
commission, but one is found surviving, Hon.
A. B. Thompson. Of the Board of Trustees
of Bowdoin College in 1827, then consisting
of twenty-one members, only two are known
to be living. These are Hon. Nathan Weston
of Augusta, (still a Trustee), and Hon. Ashur
Ware of Portland.
On Tuesday morning of last week the Kit
tery and Portsmouth bridge was discovered to
be on fire, which was put out after burning
about 100 feet in length. Under the direction
of Gov. Goodwin and Joseph Thompson, me
chanical overseer ot the bridge and railroad,
forty men were put to work as soon as the fire
was extinguished, and by Wednesday the
trains passed over it.
Last Thursday afternoon, Wilbur Jones
aged four years and eight months, a son of
the Rev. W. S. Jones, pastor of the Wesley
M. E. Church of Bath, was drowned by fall
ing into a hole in the Railroad wharf in that
cityr. A little companion of his who was with
him at the time gave the alarm.
The Belfast Age says the house and barn
of William Bassick of Waldo, was burned a
short time since, with most of their contents;
only a part of the furniture of the house be
ing saved. The fire took in a shed among
some straw in some unaccountable way. Loss
about $800. Insured $300.
The Ellsworth American says the visitors
have departed from Mt. Desert after a short

The Sentinel says hay is scarce in Eastport
and sells readily for $25 per ton. Potatoes
sell for 80 cents per bushel. The supply of
butter is small, and it has sold in some cases
for forty-five cents per pound.
The Portland papers say a fellow from Bos
ton, calling himself Warren Densmore, has
lately cheated the Portland Odd Fellows out
of some worldly substance, by professing
himself a member of the order.
The Biddeford Journal says John Melntire,
