jiailj Jicmiflift lournal. AVGUSTA, TTJBSlJAr MORNING, SEPT. 26, 1870. COMPLETE RETVRSS. We give in thiu issue the complete re turns of the State, with a few unimportant exceptions. They are gathered trom the official records and carefully copied. 1 he result is more favorable to the republican ticket than the most sanguine anticipated. Our figures were the highest in the State j on the night of the election, and Pelham’s j majority has outrun even them, in brief, the result is as follows: Perham's vote ,>4,051 Roberts’ 45.176 Total vote, 99,227 Perham's majority, 8,87.\> The total vote last year was but 93,858 and Chamberlain's majority was only 7, 983. But the vote for Perham does not show the full strength of the republican vote cast. In some localities he runs behind his ticket. This was effected by the Rob erts-Chamberlain combination as fore shadowed liefore election in some of the papers favorable to the movement. It is so in Oxford county, where Perham loses some 150 votes, and where there is not a shadow of pretence for attributing the loss to any other cause. Mr. Perham's popularity in his native county is beyond dispute, ami the only cause for surprise at the result is that with a combination of.so dangerous a character established in all the towns around him where it was possible to make it operate his vote was not reduced more. A correspondent of the Argus stated in that paper before election that the game of selling Perham out for Chamberlain repre sentatives in Oxford county would be played, and for once the Argus told the truth. With so many elements to distract the par ty, and with downright treachery at work to j advance the Chamberlain interest, we have won one of the most signal, important ami satisfactory victories ever achieved in a State election. the pout land ad vertiser and. THE SENATORIAL CONTEST. The Portland Advertiser of Saturday contains an artiele on the Senatorial con test which is sufficiently remarkable to call for a review. Some of its statements indeed are sufficiently groundless to call for a flat denial,—a denial which does not carry with it the charity of supposing that tiie Advertiser erred through ignorance. Take this paragraph for instance in which the italics are our own “There has been an earnest effort to bring the question before the voters of the pnrly. From them a disinterested decision was to he expected, and they have decided. Wherever their decision liras respected, they hare given vs Republican gains. Wherererthc majority have preferred Morrill, there has been a ready acquiescence." The Advertiser absolutely shows genius in crowding so much misstatement into so small a space. Did not Chamberlain's supporters carry the Representative Cau cus in Bangor and Lewiston, and was not the choice promptly acquiesced in by the friends of Air. Morrill, without an attempt at separate or hostile action? And yet in both places, always heretofore Republican strongholds, the Democrats elected their tickets by triumphant majorities. Are these the “Republican gains” of which the Advertiser speaks A democratic net gain of eleven hundred votes over last year, furnishes Bangor’s endorsement of the truth of the Advertisers statement as to the strength of the “Chamberlain move ment” in that section. Following this line of statement, the Advertiser with an audacious disregard of truth which does credit to its courage, pro ceeds to say that ''wherever the majority have preferred Morrill, there ha% been a ready acquiesence." The Advertiser knows this is not so. In Gardiner in the largest Republican Caucus ever held in that city, Mr. Palmer"was nominated for re-election by a decisive majority. The Republican friends of Gov. Chamberlain, aided by some Democrats who lunl sneaked into this Caucus of three hundred and fifty voters, were fairly beaten. Did they exhibit that “ready acquiesence” of which the Adver tiser boasts? Not at all! When beaten they Receded from the Caucus, nominated Mr. Moore, the same man just defeated by Air. Palmer, united with the Democrats ana were routed at the polls. In iutkrop Mr. May, the efficient and intelligent Hep-! resentative of last year, was nominated iir n Republican Caucus by a highly com- i plimeutary majority over Dr. Snow, the I friend of Gov. Chamberlain. Did tin- friends of the General show their “ready acquiesenee No. As in Gardiner they ictired, bulled from the Republican Caucus, united with the Democrats and elected Dr. Snow over the regular Republican nom inee. And immediately following his election, the bolting Republicans and their associate Democrats held a meeting tc rejoice over their joint victory, and the I principal Democratic speaker boasted that Chamberlain was to be sent to the Senate of the United States and the radical Republicans stripped of their power. Could absolute disregard of party fealty and the common laws of parly honor go I further Had these friends of Gov. Cham berlain refused to go into tlie Caucus and openly proclaimed a union with the Dem ocrats in advance, their conduct might have pleaded the apology of being open aud avowed. They did no such thing. They claimed to lx; true and loyal Repub licans and as such exercised their right of participating in die party council and thus avowed their purpose to abide its re sults. No such honorable action marked their doings. On the contrary so soon as they found themselves in a minority, they deserted their standard and formed rela tions aud alliances wiili the enemy. Aud it was so, nay worse and more shameful, in Portland, under the Advertis er's own eyes, and with its advice, conni vance and assistance. One readers, we trust will not object to some of the details of this Portland Caucus.

ILoral anti *tatc TSTrtos. Ninth Exhibition of the Maine Stale Ag ricultural Society. The Maine State Agricultural Society was incorporated in 1855, and held its first exhi bition at Gardiner, in September of that year. The second was held at Portland in 1850, the third at Bangor in 1857, the fourth in this city in 1858, the fifth, also in this city in 1859, and the sixth at Portland in 18(10.— During the rebellion its fairs were suspended, but the Society always kept up its organiza tion. The venerable Dr. E. Holmes was tho first Secretary of the Society, which position be held until his death, in 18(15. Mr. S. L. Boardmun, his successor in the management of the Maine Farmer, was elected ns Secre tary, and has held the position ever since, having been annually re-elected to the posi tion which he has filled so ably. The Presi dents have been successively: Hon. S. F. Perley, Hon. Thomas S. Lang, Hon. Wm. C. Hammatt, John F. Anderson, Esq., Sew ard Dill, Esq., and Hon. Seth Scamman. the latter gentleman having been three times re elected, which is a deserved compliment to his mat.n r ot filling the place. The present Treasurer, lion. Wm. E. Morris, now Mu nicipal Judge of Portland, has served in that capacity three years, and has proved a most efficient and gentlemanly officer. The Board of Trustees, at present, is composed of the following gentlemen Hon. Warren Percival, Cross Hill; Hon. Samuel Wasson, Ellsworth; S. T. Holbrook, Esq., Oxford; Nathan Dane, Jr., Esq., Kennehunk; Seward Dill, Esq., Phillips; Hon. Wm. P. Wingate, Bangor. After the close«t the rebellion, the Trus tees deeming it for the interest of the Society and the advancement of agriculture in the State, resolved upon resuming tile annual fairs of the Society. Accordingly that for 1SG8 was laid in Portland, and also that for 18G9 in the same place,—the latter having been held in connection with the New Eng land Agricultural Society, and under their rules, although the mtire arrangement of the exhibition in all its details was arranged and carried out by the officers of the State Agri cultural Society, nearly all of whom are now also connected with the management of the present exhibition. lwo exhibitjons ot tiie society having been successively held in Portland, the Trus tees desired the lair of 1870 to be held in some other part of the State. Alter visiting Bangor, Lewiston, and other places, they de cided to locate the fair in Augusta, trie city having appropriated for the purpose of aiding in erecting the necessary accommodations, the sum of five hundred dollars, and offering to the Society a police force ot fifteen men, during the days of the lair. In addition to this, Hr. \V. M. Thayer, generously gave the use of the Augusta Driving Park, with additional ground adjoining, and the citizens made up a subscription of something like 61,300. The Council also granted the use of the State House for the purpose of the lair, and the County Commissioners gave the free use of the Court House for the evening dis cussions. Altogether, these others held out a far better proposal than the Trustees re ceived from any other locality in Maine, hence their decision in selecting this city as the location of the State Fair of 1870. The work of superintending the erection of the stalls, pens, sheds, etc., was entrust ed by the Trustees to Hon. Warren Percival, Vice President of the Society, and so far as we can learn, that gentleman lias fulfilled bis duties with acceptance. The work has been performed by contract and to the satisfaction ot the Board. The chief work of the preparation for such an exhibition as the present is necessarily crowded into a few weeks time, although the correspondence and general arrangement ex tends nearly throughout the season. Conse quently. in order that the arrangements may be complete, and all run smoothly, the whole labor must be systematized and sub-divided. This the present Board of Trustees are fa miliar with, and if acquaintance with the du ties of their several positions is worth any thing toward ensuring success, we may be sure, with good weather, that the lair will be the most successful ever held by the Society. At the State House, where the Fair, prop er, takes place, we find Hon. Samuel Was son in charge with an ahle corps of assist ants, among whom are John K. Hooper, Esq., Assistant Superintendent, and A. If. Board man, Superintendent of entries, both of whom assisted Mr. Wasson in the New England Fair of last year. The several departments of the Fair are each in charge of competent men, and there is no confusion or disorder. On ajiproaching tile Fair Grounds, we find the building at the entrance occupied by the Treasurer, Mr. Morris, who lias entire con trol of the Ticket Department; and by the Secretary, Mr. Boardman, nnd tiis assistants. Here all the entries to the show ground ex hibition are made, but entries for the State House arc made there. The whole depart ment of entries for both departments of the Fair being regulated and controlled by the Secretary. At (lie State House we And Mr. Millikcn, of Portland, formerly the popular engrossing clerk, as chief clerk, and at the ground Mr. Weston Lewis of Pittston. Close by tbe Secretary's office is the Presi dent's tent, where the guests of the Society will be received, committees made up, (fcc. To the south of this is the mammoth tent, where the agricultural implements are to be exhibited. This department of the Fair is superintended by S. Dill, Esq., of the Hoard of Trustees. The tbnt is about 125 feet long and G5 feet wide, and w ill hold 6000 persons. It will be light and airy, well adapted to the uses for which it is provided. Passing along we next come to the cattle department, in charge of Mr. Dane of the Board of Managers. The arrangment here is about as follows 1st row of pens, Work ing oxen; 2d, lleretords; 3d, Grades and Natives; 4th Ayrshires; 5th, Jerseys; Gth, Short Horns; 7th, sheep and swine; 8th, poul try. After this we reach the new stalls for horses, erected outside the old Park enclosure. This department is especially under the manage ment of Mr. S. T. Holbrook, the General Superintendent, whose headquarters arc with in the track, and who has proved himself a prompt and efficient officer. The list of entries will compare favorably with those of the Ntw England Fair last year. Of the stock, tbe variety and number will be unsurpassed at any State Fair. On our first page we give u list of entries, which will he made complete in future issues of our paper. The various catch-penny institutions, al ways attendant on a large gathering of people, will be found on the grounds. They of course will be well patronized. Let there be a due regard for the evil intentions of the pick pockets that are sure to congregate at the Fair. This will be the first day of the Fair. We gi' c the programme: At 8 o’clock tlie gales will be open for i visitors. At 104 o’clock, opening address by the i President of the Society. At J1 o’clock, meeting of Marshals and Su perintendents of various departments at the President’s headquarters, when committees i will be filled. At 114 o’clock, the track will be opened to exhibitors for general driving. At 2 P. M. No. 1, for horses that have never I troitcd better than 2.50, mile heats, 3 in 5, to harness. Purse §150, §100 to first, §50 to second. At 24 P. M., Society’s premium for stallions for general use. At 3 P. M., Society's premium lor the best mare or gelding, 1 years old and under 5, mile beats, best two in three. We have just been shown by one of our citizens and musical instrument selling man, Mr. 1!. M. Mansur, an acient relic consisting of a pocket account book, commencing July 8tli 1705. one hundred and sixty-five years ago, running along by different paths over 1 one hundred yiars. The writing is very plain and legible, the ink holding its color well. The cover is of parchment, with a brass clasp. Among the items charged over one hundred and fifty years ago we notice “Thread to make a blue coat otic shillings" “One year's board 83 pounds” “a span shackle” A “runlet of rum,” “Making breeches, etc.,” In 1753 we find 17 pounds and 13 shillings charged for one y oke of oxen and t«o cows, liatiier low compared with the price now; 3 shillings was the price charged for a day’s wotk then. Who of us have account nu iiiorandum bcoks to be look ed over one hundred and sixty-five years lienee, ey umiorn generations, nun no can begin to eoniprebeml the changes intervening? It may be seen at the State Fair in Mr. Mansur’s box of curiosities. There was a public installation of the newly elected officers of Asylum I.odge Free and Accepted Masons, of Way ne, at their lodge room, on Friday evening last. The interest ing services were conducted by It. W. I). G. M. Cargill of Ibis eitv. wlm visited the lodge by special inv itation. A large numberof ladies witnessed the ceremonies, at the close of which the company adjourned to “Mill Hall," where a pic nic supper had been provided by the lady friends of the Masons. Asylum Lodge is prospering. The Argus says the closing entertainment of the Morris Brothers’ Minstrels at City j Hail, Portland, Saturday evening, was hon ored with a tremendous house. Billy and Lon were full of new and sprightly sayings l and songs, and Scott, their established center map, deserves a special word of praise. The (performance gave great satisfaction. The company appeared in Lewiston last night, and in Augusta the remainder of the week.

Ono Person Killed and Another Badly Wounded. Special Dispatch to the Daily Kennebec Journal Hali.owell, Sept. 19. The people of this city were thrown into intense excitement this evening, by a hor rible murder that occurred here. Edwuid S. Iloswell, who lias had domestic troubles, and has recently become enstranged from his wife in consequence of alleged crim. con.y stabbed his wife this evening with a common jack-knife, and afterwards with the same weapon, cut the throat of her paramour, John Eaflin, a barber, whose juglar vein was severed, causing instant death. Mrs. Iloswell was not injured so severely as was at first supposed, and it is thought she will recover. Iloswell was immediately ar rested. his hands bearing the work of the foul deed. He was carried lo Augusta and lodged in the county jail. He denies having committed the crime and is feigning insanity. His preliminary examination will take place to-morrow morning before Judge. True. E. F. Pillsbury, Esq., is engaged as his counsel. Mr. Iloswell has been employed in the rail road paint shop at Augusta. The murderer is a Spaniard, is about 43 years of age. with black hair and eyes. Mr. Lad n, the murdered man, has always borne a good reputation, and it is believed there was no cause lor jealousy. The excitement in this city was very intense, on the dis covery that a murder had been committed. WAR IN EUROPE. SUCCESSFUL l’ROCEEDURE OF THE INVESTMENT OF PARIS. Interview to take place between Jules Fnvre and Ifismarek. Fight between the advanco guard of the two armies, 10 miles from Paris. Tlio From-li itepulscd. A HEAVY LOSS TO THE PRUS SIANS. Napolcou says nothing can keep the Prussians but of Paris. GRAND REVIEW OF TIIE GARDE .HORILE. London, Sept. 19. Reports from the Prussian headquarters de tailed the successful proeeedure of the invest ment of Paris. An interview between Jules I'avre and Count Bismarck will occur shortly, but no de lay will be caused in the investment of the city unless the meeting should have some im portant result. A correspondent of the Times writes from Berlin that he has struck the cue to the course of the King, seemingly to ignore the present government of France. He says Prussia recognizes Napoleon as tiie Emperor of the French in order to in form the political and expecting candidates to the throne of France, that Prussia will recognize that government only which ac cepts the terms which Prussia will propose, therefore, as the republic of France is ig noring the Prussian terms, Prussia ignores the republic. Paris, Sept. 19. A figlit took place yesterday ten miles from Paris, between the advance guard of the Prus sians and a reconnoitoring party of the French. The latter were driven back and the Prussians established themselves on the heights which the French had been holding. The Prussians numbered 30,000. The fight was very bloody, and the Erench though beaten inflicted heavy losses on the Prussians. The contest raged tor upwards of two hours. tTc Diplomatic circular issued by Jules Favre has met the universal approval of the citizens, and the opinion is generally ex pressed that it is the ultimatum of the provis ional government. The Russian Ambassadors left the city to day to return to St. Petersburg. Florence, Sept. 18. Gen. Bixiu is marching on Rome. The endeavors to negotiate for a compromise prior to the occupation of Rome by the Ital ian troops have been fruitless. Toms. Sept. 19. Yesterday a courier from the English cab inet reached Roven, carry ing important des patches to Lord Syson. As the railways were cut the courier was obliged to go for ward on foot. There has been continuous fighting around Paris. LATE8T. Berlin, Sept. 19. The following is official: While Napoleon was at Namur, in Bel gium. he eulogized the discipline and courage of the Prussian soldiers, and said nothing could keep them out of Paris. Paris, Sept. 19. The Swiss, American and Belgian Ambas sadors decline to quit Paris. Special to the Sun. Paris, Sept. 18. Yesterday there was a grand review of the Garde Mobile and Na tional Guard. More than 300,000 men are under arms. There is great enthusiasm among the troops, with the exception of some regiments of provisional Garde Mobile, who refuse to cry “Vive la Republic,” by order of their officers. Three thousand Prussian uniforms were discovered this morning in three different houses. The people of Paris are generally dissatis fied with the government which failed to adupt revolutionary measures. A manifesto voted by twenty arrondisse mcnts of Paris was presented to-day to the Provisional government, and will he posted to-morrow on the walls of Paris. The mani festo requires the immediate envoi of the gen eral Commissioners in the provinces. Gen. Clouseret will be designated by the people of Paris at the request of the people of Lyons. It is doubtless whether the government will yield under the double pressure. The gov ernment is afraid that the Prussians surround ed last night a battalion of Parisians and franc tireursat Meany forest, therefore it cannot be set on fire. Evening.—City quiet, even to dullness. The boulevards are crowded with soldiers. No indications of disturbance are observable. Florence, Sept, 19. The Italians have occupied Onlondo. The troops on entering Valletre were received with great enthusiasm.

London, Sept. 19. Jules Favre hns gone to the Prussian headquarters. Fears were entertained that he would not be received, but lie request: d Bismarck for safe conduct at least, and was answered favorably, lie set out immediately for Meuux, the present headquarters of the King. The Pall Mall Gazette to-day in its cor respondence from Kheims, dated the 12th, says :—Bismarck is anxious about the policy to he pursued by the l'. S. Government, now that France lias been declared a republic. It is said that Prussia craves Amerieam sym- patliy but cannot treat with the French re- public. The despatches of to-day destroy all pros- I pects of Baznincs escape. A handful of men only have escaped thus far. The siege of Toul is vigorously pressed. The place cannot bold out much longer. A correspondent of the Times writing from Paris tile ITtli says: Geu. Vinoy led 80,000 troops of the line last nigh to Vincennes, to dispute the passage of the Marne. The ad- anee of the enemy yesterday was not great, j 1 heir tro'.ps tire massed near the line, ready to erms at am moment. The corps is taking the course I indicated in a late letter, cross- J ing the Seine at Villencnvc and St. George. They will mass in the vicinity of Longean, to the rear of Vincennes, and established there they will push forward by Woodmendon to plant batterie' on the heights of Claniart. and j if the city is bombarded will open tire upon Vangirard. From this point they can greatly damage the eitv as far us boulevardes Don licrt and Montparnasse. A Munkin, China despatch, dated Aug. 33, states that the Governor of the city was as nsinntcd by the natives on account of his well known sympathy for the foreigners. The Times correspondent writing from he- I fore Strasbourg, says: The preparations i for commencing the assault cannot be com- pletcd before four weeks. FROM PORTLAND. Portland, Sept. 19. Dr. Orclway, who was prosecuted criinin- i ally formal-practice, in mutilating a patient's j hand in an operation upon it, was acquitted to-day. The defence was that tile chloric cthes used affected him so that he was una ware of what lie did. FROM CONCORD. Concord. X. II., Sept. 19. Sad Accident. A Mrs. Odell of Lake Village, was run over at that place by the afternoon down train ori the Montreal railroad and killed. Destructive Fire.—Loss $50,000. Xeu bcrg, Sept. 19. The Powelton House, a summer resort one mile north of this place, owned by Mrs. Ilo mer Kumsdill, was totally destroyed by fire this morning, with all its contents. Loss, $30, 000; insured for $13,300. Two lady boarders lost diamond jewelry valued at $3,000. FROM SAN FRANCISCO. San Francisco, Sept. 19. Gen. Safford of Arizona, at the head of a party of volunteers, have taken the field against the Indians ol Southern Arizona, and a war of extermination lias commenced throughout the entire territory. Great excitement prevails at Prescott over rice gold discoveries in Bradshaw mountains. FROM MONTREAL. Montreal, Canada, Sept. 19. Berry declines Walter Brown's challenge for a single scull match.

Various expedients are resorted to. that the pub lie eye may be turned from the singer for the pur pose of introducing inferior machines—viz. “The .Button-Hole Dodge,” “The over-'■seaming,'” “The Double-Lock-lvnot-Stitch.”“Kla.-tic Stitch,” “Twist ed Loop,” “Self-Adjusting Tensions,” “King Finish and Beautifully Ornamented,” “Straight Needle,” “Stitch AJikc-on-both-Sides,” “Medals from Fairs,” “Vertical Feed Bars,” “Noiseless Running,” “Silent Feed.” and last an#xvorst of all, the low-priced— “Family Shuttle Machines.” Many of these points are desirable, (and the Singer’excells all in each individual speciality^ but the greatest use made of these special points! is by the retail agent who parades them be I ore* the inex perienced purchaser with such fluent and earnest style, a> h> entirely divert attention from the really important bearings of the ease. While othei inno cent local agents ignorant! represent that ttic ma chine sold bv them is capable of doing every varie ty of work, egual to the Singer, and *olien do tin y thus unconsciously swindle customers who cannot aflbid to squander their substance upon gilded follies and worthless rattle-traps. Parties in quest of a Sewing Machine should look about them and learn what machine is most exten sively used in families, tailor shops, shoo factories, and carriage factories. It is an aclmotrledged fact, ireely admitted by all seirtng machine dealers, that more than tiro-thirds of all the clothing worn in this country by bath sexes, whether custom made or ready made, is actually manujactured upon THE .SINGER m vv ing Maghi’m: These Machines are manufactured by one of the oldest, strongest, and most enterpr.-i’ng Compan ies that has ever been engaged in the business in the world. Throughout their immense manufac tories, which are kept in constant opera*ion “d-iy and night,” none but highly skilled mechanics are employed. Newly improved machinery is em ployed* turning out each part finished to that me chanical exactness, that every one is a perfect du plicate of the other in si/.i weight and fini-h. All new inventions are carefully examined and tested, and if approved, are adopted, regardless of ex pense, while the many impractical humbug* that are patented are let! to grace some new wonder and learn the purchaser w hen too late, that he has “paid too dear for his whistle.” It should be re membered that the Singer Manufacturing Com pany has never made a poor Machine—from the very (list twenty-odd yearn ago. They never buv editorial notices’, or expend lnnds in “log-rolling'* at Fairs to gain medals or premiums. They simply make their Machines as valuable as money and science cau perfect them—place them in their Sales Rooms, and leave the public to find out their virtues in their own way. By this straight forward course they are m-w manutaeturingabout four hundred per dav, and at that rate, even, are unable to supply the demand. WHAT IS THE SEW r ANIL!
