After a long debate a resolution was adopted praying Congress to open a National trail from the Red River northward to the boundary line between the United States and British America. It was also decided to ask Congress for an appropriation to aid in the suppression of pleuropneumonia. Several other resolutions were read nd referred, and the Convention listened to a number of papers on pleuropneumonia and other cattle diseases. QAx acquisition was made to the Baltimore Ohio lines recently by the purchas at auction for $50,000 of tho Pittsburgh Se Southern Road, running from Pittsburgh to Washington, Pa. The Ealtimore Ohio has operated the road for nearly two years, but its recent sale for debt gave Mr.

Garrett's company entire possession and absolute control. A deficit of $1,200 was lately discovered in the accounts of Rev. J. McKean, Postmaster at Boise, Idaho, by Postal Agent Brannaman. The postmaster was suspended and his office put in charge of his I ondsnien.

No explanation was given by HcITcan or his clerks. The Montreal Carnival Committee lately rrso'ved to invite President-elect Cleveland of the late Confederacv all and I mean all without a single all personally participated in rebellion against the National Government. It is a still more ignincanf fact that in those States no man who wai loval to the I'nion, no matter how strong a Democrat he may be to-dav, has the slightest chance of political promotion. The one great avenue to honor in that section is a record of zealous service in the war against the Government. It is certainlv an astounding fact tliat the section, in which friendship for the Union in tiie dav of Its trial and agony was a political disqualification, should be called now to rule over the Union.

AU thia take place during the lifetime of the generation that fought the war; and it elevates to the practical command of the American Government the identical men who organized fot its destruction and plunged us into the bloodiest contest of modern times. I have spoken of the South as placed by the late election in possession of the Government and I mean all that my words imply. Tha south furnished nearlv thrce-fourt lis of the electoral votes that defeated the Kepublican, party, and they will step to the command of the Democrats as unchallenged and as unrestrained as they held the same position for thirty years before the war. must im Eo'Ai-rrr or eight.

Accordvcg to the late annual report of the Fourth Auditor of the Treasury tho growing evil in the expenditure of money by the Naval Department has been increased by a disregard of the law requiring advertisements and contracts for purchases. Among other laches cited, it was stated that $1,000,000 worth of open and exempt purchases was made of six individuals, one of whom rendered an account for over $300,000.

Supplies were bought virtually without competition, and over $19,000 was paid as commis sions during the fiscal year of to Seligman Brothers, London, and nearly $7,000 in interest. In the Auditor's opinion the commissions were about twice too large, and the interest wholly unnecessary. The recently discovered irregularities in the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, it was stated, were mostly committed upon tho continuous hospital fund, whose large, unexpended balance seems to have proved a peculiar temptation. A Boston ship the Alert bound from New York for Shanghai, and carrying 400,000 gallons of kerosene oil, was recently struck by lightning near Pernambuco and burned. The officers and crew were saved.

This morning about five o'clock two convicts, Charles Smith, sent up from Green County last June for three ears for grand larceny, and Thomas Tudor, sent up from St. Louis last month for two years for a similar crime, made their escape from the penitentiary. As they had been employed in the culinary department of the prison, they were released from their cells at an early hour to assist in the preparation of breakfast. Instead of reporting for duty, however, they secured a ladder, and in the darkness succeeded in getting over the walls unobsetved and made good their escape.

A large number of devoted personal and political friends of Mr. lllaine aercnaded biui this evening ns an expression of the personal good will and aduiirution of bis conduct in tiie National campaign.

They marched through the streets under the Marshalship of" Colonel Frank Nye. When they reached ilr. Llaine'a house their compliments and friendly regards were expressed in a speech by Herbert Heath, of tiie Kennebec bar. Mr. ltlaine responded as follows, his speech being continually Interrupted by applause: MR.

BLAINE'S KEPLT. "Friends and neighbors, the National con-'test is over, and by the narrowest of margins we have lost. 1 thank j-ou for your call, which, if not one of joyous congratulations, is I am sure, of confidence un.l of sanguine hope for the future, 1 thank you for the public opportunity you give uie to express my sens-e of obligation not only to you, but to all the Itepublu ans of Maine. They res-ponded to my nomination with genuine enthusiasm, and ratified by a superb vote. 1 count it as one of the honors of my public career that the party in Maine, after stru.a-f,tinjr hard for the last six years, and twice witlsiu tnut period losing tiie fetate, has come back in ihis campaign to its old-fashioned plurality.

No other expression of popular tonlidem-e and esteem could cqu.1 tiiat of the people amoug whom 1 have lived thirty vcais, to wliom I aui attached by all the tics that ennoble human nature and yive Joy and dignity to lite.

But 1 do not limit my thanks to the Mate of my residence and to the Mate cf my birth I owe mucU to the true and zealous friends in New Kng and v. ho worked so noi-ly for the party and its candidates, and to the eminent scholars and divines who, stepping aside from their ordinary avocations, maue in cause their cause, and who to loyalty to principle added the special compliment of stand ins; as my personal representatives in the strmriile.

lint tiie achievements lor the liepublican cause in the Kast are even surpassed by splendid victories in the West.

Nor -should I to justice to my own feetinira If I failed to thank the Ifepiiblieans of the Kmpire Mate ho encountered so many dis-courairements and obstacles; who fought foes from within and foes Iroru without, and lio so strong battle that a change of one vote in every two thousand would have given us the victory in the Nation. Indeed, a cliansc of little more than votes would have transferred New York, Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut to the ICopublican standard, and ould have made the North as solid as tiie My thanks would be still incomplete if 1 should fail to recognize with special gratitude that frreat body of work-inirmen, both native and foreign born, who fiavc me their earnest support, breaking from old personal and parly tics and tiuding in the principles wiiicn i inu canvass the safeguard and protection of their own firesides and interests.

The result of tho election, my friends, will be regarded in the future, 1 think, as extraordinary. Tiie Northern Mates, leaving out the cities of New York f.ii'l Urooklyn Horn the count, snistained the Kepublicau cause by a majority of more than almost half a million, indeed, of popular vote. The cities of New York and Iirooktyn threw their great strength and intiuence with the Solid South and ere tho decisive clement which gave to that section the control of the National Government. THE solid south. Speaking now, not at all as a defeated candidate, but simply as a lojal and devoted American, I think the transferor the political power of the Government to the South is a great National misfortune.

It is a misfortune, because it introduces an element which can not insure harmony and prosperity to the people, because it introduces into the the rule of a minority. The first instinct of the American is equality equality ol right, equality of privilege, equality of political power, that eqnalitv which says to every citizen: "Your vote is just as go jd, just as potential as the vote of any other citizen." That can not be said to-day in the I'nited Mates. The course of affairs in the South iias crushed out the political power more than American citizens, and has transferred it by violence to others. forty-two Presidential Hectors are assigned to the South on account of the colored population, and yet the colored population, with more than l.KXVMJ leal votes, have been unable to choose a single Elector. Even in those Stales where they have a majority of more than they were deprived of free suffrage and their -ju-litu os oil i-n" are peornfiillj rodder.

foot. The eleven States that comprised the rebel Confederacy had by tha census ot liso ijjOO.OW whilepopulation and colored population. The colored population almost to a man desire to support the party, but by a system of cruel intimidation and by violence ami murder, whenever violence and murder arc thought necessary, they arc absolutely deprived of all politically power. If the outrage there it would be Lad enough, but it docs not stop there, tor not onlv is the negro population disfranchised, but the power which rightfully and constitutionally belongs to them is transferred to the white population, enabling the hite population ol the south toe.xert an electoral far beyond that exerted by lie same number of white people in the North. AN IIXCSTJUTIOV.

To illustrate just how it works to the de-stiueiion of nil fair elections, let me present i Five States in the late Confederacy anil live loyal States in the North, possessing in eah section the same number of electoral votes. In the south the States of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and south Carolina have in the aggregate electoral votes. They have white people and over colored people. In tne North, the states of Wiscon-consin, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and California have likewise. In the aggregate, 10113--cigiit ele-toral votes, and they have a pojm-lation of or just double that of the five Southern states which 1 have named.

These Northern states had practically nocol-ored population. It is, therefore, evident th! the wiiite men in those Southern States, by usurpititr and absorbing the rights of colored men. are exerting lust double the po litical power of the white men in the Northern States. I submit, my friends, that such a condition of affairs is extraor dinary, unjust and derogatory to t.ie manhood of the North. Eveu those who are vin- elictivelv opposed to netrro suffrage will not deny tliat if Tresidential electors are assigned to the South by reason of the negro population, that population ought to be permitted free suffrage in the election.

To deny that clear proposition is to aiiirin that a Southern white man in the Gulf states is entitled to double the political power of a white man In the Northern Luke States. It is to attiim that a Confederate soldier shall wield twice the Influence in the Nation that a L'rion soldier can, and that a perpetual and constantly increasing superiority shall be conceded to the Southern white man in the government of the Union. If that be quietly conceded in th; generation it will Larden into custom until a oaigeoi mierior-itv ill attach to the Northern wiiite man as odiously as ever Norman noble stamped it upon Saxon churl. INTERESTING TO NORTHERN LABORERS. Tliia snbieet la of oeculiarlv deen Interest to the laboring men of the North.

With the outhern Democracy triumphant In their States and the Nation, the negro will be com pelled to work for juat such wages as tiie whites may decree; wages which will amount, as did supplies of slaves, to a bare subsistence, equal in cash to perhaps thirty-five cents per day if averaged over tne entire South. The white laborer in the North will soon fee! the destitute effect of this op bis own wages.
