MAINE.
-
As the later returns come in fro the
back diatn of Maine it becomes evident
that the theory of a Democratic-Greenback
Tictory in that State was rematurely
adopted. la the to-.vns stil! to hear from
the vote of last year give the FuslonisU a
■mallei aggregate than tiic knoivn major
ity of Davis, Ihe Republican candidate,
amounts to and of the;o back towns sev
eral which last year give Fusionist major
ities, thia year b ive given Republican
majorities. Th i presumption from these
facts is that Davis \* elected by a Bmall
plurality, and further returns are not
lil.cly to change this conclusion. The
Legislature is largely Republican in both
chambers. Three out of the live Con
gressmen are Repnblicaa. And taking
tho situation a» .-. n ■!•■ it is ratlier diffi
call to perceive where tbe opening for
Djnncr.itio exultation comei in. At the
tame time tho fact remains that the Re
publicans filled to obtain the results they
hsd counted on, and which, t!:::r.: i.- reason
to believe, even their adversaries antici
pated. They expected a majority of five
thousand, at the leas', and if they are not
beaten they are saved only by tho skin of
their teeth. There ia an old saying that
"amUsi3 as good as a mile," but in po
litical contests iike the present this docs
not always liold good. The near defeat of
tho Republicans in Maine is not as bad as
a more severe reverse, l>ut it is an encour
agement to the Democrats, for fhey never
exjiectcd to carry Mime, or oven to come
near carrying it, though it may ue thought
thr.t they had a right iadalge some hope,
• tcini; that the FusionUts beat the Repub
lijans there only a year ago.
GENERAL HANCOCH GOES OFF AT HALF
COCK.
It lias been said th-vt th» most dangerous
thing a Pn*i '.ential candtdate cm do 13 to
Wtite letters. Probably General Hancock
is inclined to agree mih ti.ia now that he
contemplates his letter of congratulation
to Piaistcd. It looks sn Vjsur.l to have
written a solemn and fervid epistle ecstati
cally congratulating a BUB on an election
which his pat his opponent in office.
General Hancock ought to havo waited
for the official returns, and not have re
posed such implicit faith upon the dig
patches of his friend Mr. Barnum. It is
»l«o very hard upon Mr. Plaisted that he
•hould be thus exposed to ridicule through
the impulsiveness of the Major fieneral.
Perhaps Mr. Plaisted dCMXVM some praise
for the energetic canvass he has made in
Maine, but the time has not yet come
when lie could be congratulated on his
•lection as Governor of that State.

THE COUNTY GO VERNMENT BILL.
The Supreme Court has declared the
county govejfcment bill invalid, and the
Mjfconclusion would seem to be
ecision precludes the necessity
officers this year. It may be that
this is theactuil effect of the decision, but
as we are here dealing with that wonderful
and incomprehensible instrument, the new
Constitution, it would be imprudent to ex
press an unqualified opinion upon this
question. It is held by some lawyers that
the Constitution itself readers election for
county officers this fall imperative, and if
this is the case the invalidaliou of the
couuty government bill will not extend
tho terms of the present incumbents. The
language of the Constitution held to
necessitate election this year is to be found
in Section 'JO, Article XX., which provides
that " elections of the officers provided for
"by thi3 Constitution, except at theelection
"in the year 1579, shall be held in the
' 'even-numbered years next before the ex
"pirationof their respective terms." The
meaning of this provision is elucidated still
further by Section 10, Article XXII., which
shoitens the terms of all officers elected at
the first election after the adoption of tb/;
Constitu f ion, one year, so a3 to bring the
succeeding elections in even-num'oered
years. It is, however, contended that |
county officera do not fall within the cate
gory of "officers provided for by this Con
stitution," that instrument having, as
it is alleged, merely appointel the ma
chinery by whiph county officers are to be
chosen, and having in fact left it to the
Lagislatuje to determine, not only all the
details of their functions, but the impor
tant question of whether they should be
elected or appointed. On the other hand
it is maintained that since the Con
stitution fixes the elections on the even
numbered years, and since the terms of
the present incumbents of county offices
will expire before another election in an
even-numbered year (1S82) occurs, the
effect of not holding elections this fall
would be to create an interregnum, and
thus to throw the whole county govern
ment system into confusion. The new
Constitution contains so many knotty
pnints that there is room for great diversity
of opinion upon nearly every question
growing out of it, and in the present in
stance it appears quite probable that an
other decision of the Supreme Court will
be required to eettle the matter intelli
gibly. Are the county officers "officers
provided for by this Constitution ?"
In on 3 sense they certainly may be so
r jgarded, since there are no officers who do
not, directly or indirectly, derive their ex
istence from the organic law. But it may
be argued that the very term, "officers
provided for by this Constitution," indi
cates that the framera of the Constitution
had in their mind, not all the officers hold
ing position under the State and county
and municipal governments, but only the
officers whose functions, duties and powers
arc directly delined and provided in the
organic law. Otherwise it would seem to
have been more natural and intelligible
that the language of the Constitution
should have been such as to make it plain
that all officers elected by the people,
without distinction, were intended.
The unavoidable suspicion that the fram
ers of the Constitution may not have had
any clear idea a) to what they were trying
to dr>, of course renders all attempts to cx
i plain these difficulties full of uncertainty.
It appears that as the case stands there are
s r.JLi,' arguments on both sides, ar.d that
thoso who believe the. county elections
should l'e held, a:.d those who main
...::; that they camiot now be held,
have gcoi grounds for tbeii opin
ions. arding the question from a purely
political standpoint it may be said t!iat the
failure to elect county officers is calculated
to deprive the campaign of a great deal of
activity and "enthusiasm." Which of the
two parties is most likely to suffer from the
withdrawal of these local elements of ac
tivity niay perhaj.3 be questioned, though
the Democrats appear to have tli3 most
need for suc'i stimulants in this part of tie
State. From a purely popular standpoint
it may be said that the failure to hold elec
tions this year will save a, great deal of ex
pense, and that the public interests are not
likely to suffer from tho extension of the
terms of the present county officers, ex
cept in a few isolated instances perhaps.
As to what will actually happen, whether
there will be elections notwithstanding the
decision of the Supreme Court, or whether
that decision settles the question in the
e'ative, there doDS not seem any possi
bility of determining at present. The
■> irt has based its judgment upon a
technicality. It has declared the county
government bill invalid because it
was not drawn, r.s to its title, in
strict acccordance with constitutional re
quirements. Whether it \3 possible or
necessary to elect county officers, however,
is quite another question, and this the
Court has not adjudicated, since it has not
interpreted the language of the Constitu
tion above quo.ted, and which at least
raises a doubt aa to whether these elections
are not directly commanded by tho organic
law. It is f.ir thesa reasons probable that
it will bo necessary to appeal to the
Supreme Court again, and in the
me.ir.time the candidates for county offices
will remain iv a very unhappy frame of
mind. If the Supreme Court wouii frama
and publish a gloss upan the whole Consti
tution, it would oblige tha people greatly
and deserve well of them, but it is to be
feared that su :h a task is beyond the
capacities of auy tribunal, however zealous
an 1 erficien\ inasmuch as there is much in
the new organic law which cannot be ex
plained, even by those who put it there.
THE BOARDS OF EQUALIZATION.
The .Supreme Court yesterday granted a
perpetual injunction in the cases of mdi'
' viihial taxpayers whose assessments had
been raised by the State Board of Kqaal
catioo. The Court holds that this power
appertains to the County Boards of Kqnal
i/Uioii alone, and that the State Hoard
can only c^ualizo assessments as between
1 the B<_veral counties. The Court rr.ay be
right, and mnst be obeyed, but we confess j
i that we cannot lind in the Constitution any
warrant for the interpretation it l.as put
upon the language of that instrument.
j Section 9, Article XIII., after providing
I for the election of the State Board of
Equalization, t>ays that its duty "shall be
" to equalize the valuations of the taxable
" property of the several counties in the
j " State for the purposes cf taxation. * *
' " * * The Board of Supervisors of the
I "several counties of the State shall cou
"stituto Boards of Equalization for their
"respective couuties, whose duty it shall
" be to equalize the valuation of the tax
" able property in the county for the pur- j
"poses of taxation ; provitiivl, mch State I
"and County Boards of Equalization are
"hereby authorized and empowered,
" utder such rules of notice as
" the County Boards msy prescribe,
"as to the county astessinents,
" and unJcr such ru!c3 of notice
"as the State Board may prescribe,
"aa to the action of the State Board, to
" increase or lower the entire assessment
"roll, or any assessment contained therein,
"so as to equalize the aesessment of the
" property contained in said assessment
"roll, and make the assessment conform
I "to the trus value in money of the prop
" erty contained in said roll." That ap
pears to give the State Board the same
power as is possessed by the County
Boards, in regard to the raising or lowering
of individual assessments. The Supreme
Court, however, decides otherwise. It
then remain? to be considered what effect
this construction will have upon the public
interests. We think it will not make the
position of those who have been singled out
for increased assessments any ca'ier. The
iState Board may raise the assessment on
whole classes of property, by counties.
When it does so theae changes will, as a
rule, boar hardest upon the poorest taxpay
ers. This v.ill be the case, because those
who have lea3t property always fiud it
lr.ost difficult to escape a full valuation.
The increase of ten per cent, upon a whole
class of property is therefore almost certain
to make many men in moderate circum
etances p*y more than they ought, while it
ma}' ouly coirpel the few rich to pay a fair
valuation. But there is another considera
tion. County Assessors have heretofore
enaeavoreJ to make their assessments
generally as light as possible. A
continuation of that policy must sub
ject them to having their counties raised
by the State Board, and as the effect of
raising the assessment of a county is, a3
we have shown, to make the comparatively
poor pay an undue proportion of taxes, it
is clear that the Assessors will be driven,
in order to avoid such equalizing by the
State Board, to make the assessments of
the heavier property-owners more
onerous. In fact the new Constitution, as
the RecokD-UniOS pointed out when it
was under consideration, deliberately pro
vide! a machinery for squeezing tho
thrifty, and the manner in which this
operates has a'ready been experienced.
The indications are that it cannot be
avoided without a change in the Constitu
tion. The present decision of the Su
preme Court certainly does not release the
petitioners, whatever it may seem to do.
In the nature of the case the County As
sessors and the County Boards ■will be
pushed in the direction we have indicated,
snd while this pressure may have one good
effect, in preventing the inequitable raising
of assessments on those who are already
fairly assessed, it is easy to perceive that
it must lead to a counterbalancing evil,
by encouraging the shifting of the popular
burdens on to the shoulders of the
wealthier members of the community. It
cannot be doubted that there have been
great inequalities in taxation heretofore,
or that they ought to be removed ; but
this could have been done without paving
the way to the establishment of still more
dangerous inequalities on the other side,
which is what tho new Constitution
aini3 at.

Slaud S. at Chlrigo. *
Chicago, September ICth.— A large audi
ence assembled at the Jockey C!ub grounds
this afternoon, on account of the attempt of
Maud S. to beat the record of 2:11J. . The
weather was pleasant, but there was a strong
east wind. The appearance of Maud S. on
the track to trot against time for $2,500 was
the signal for hearty applause. The first heat
was merely made to warm up, and as she left
her et several times it was made in 2:2G^r.
The t r-t quarter of her second heat was made
steadily in ',il\ second?, and then she was cut
loose for her best speed, making the half in
l-Mh. Her driver sped ' her at an undimin
ished gait to the three-quarter pole, which
was reached in < I:3G^. • Coming home there
was scarcely lees excitement than when the
record was lowered in the summer meeting,
for it seemed certain that she would make
the mile in 2:11 at least ; but she left her feet
when but a few yards from the wire, and the
heat was spoiled. However, the watches did
not seem to agree, those outside of the stand
making her tiu:e 2:10^ to 2:11, while the time
announced by the judges was 2:114." On
Saturday Maud S. will be exhibited on the
track, and may possibly be sent for a fast
mile. All prominent horsemen will, on the
conclusion of the meeting, go to Louisville
and Cincinnati. f&*i

By right of eonimest that trophy now belorgs ex.

t<v him, f.jr two reasons : First, he ms fairly won
this honor; second, his record of 2:11 J is the only
performance ever made worthy of her efforts to sur

In reply Mr. Hickok sent the following :

The intimation in the latter part of the let

that she might try again, her record having

Within the next few days the Department cf

Theie ii>, of oonrei", notbiDg whatever in the
various treaties relative to the vital question
of discrimination in other than the changes
; specified in the treaties themselves, and hence i
: the first and foremost matter to rind out be- !
'. fore i coming |to any settlement is whether
i China does or does r.ot discriminate against
: . our vessels trading with her virious ports.
;. "Is not that easily determined ? " was the
! natural query. - — . , —
" Oh, ySv 6 Ke replied, "but it may take
i longer between .Washington and. Chins, sad
between China and Paris. For instancy, the
Cabinet has _ taken co definite action in the i
j premises, beyond the President's refusal to !

\ from the payment of dues. i I should add, !
; however, that there is no indication, that we
can find, that China has thus di.-criminated.
It is defied, and I know that the spirit and [
. wish of cur Government is to extent every '
j reasonable and just facility to the Chinese !

: ! The correspondent adds : "In case it shall
j be established by the Chinese authorities that
! no tax beyond j the alien tonnage mentioned 1
! in the treaty is exacted from American mas
i ter?, that no discriminating duties are made, j
| and no levies ia the shape of excessive pilot

j in this respect with vessels of China herss
j then the President will issue a proclamation j
; and the imports levied on the 110 Chung will i
J be returned, leaving for further c msideratiou i
