YVe published yesterday the reso--lutions adopted by the Democratic State Convention of Maine. They have the right ring it strikes us. They very properly denounce the great electoral fraud as "monstrous." They warn the country against its repetition. They point to the sub lime act of a triumphant majority ni yielding to the accursed wrong "in the interest of peace." This is al together right and proper. In Con vention is the place to lay down the platform of party and to fix the limits-f discussion for a pending campaign. The Convention also re fers kindly to the President. - If we were toexpress our opinion in meas ured and just terms we would be ac cused of "gushing" or "seeking office" hv some ot trie naners that take tne Star for a standing text. So in lieu of our own sentiments we adopt those of the Baltimore Gazette & paper only second to the NV Y. Sun in its wide-awake hostility to 'Hayes. T. --I - "The resolution referring to the Presi dent's Southern policy has the right ring. It is not necessary for Democrats to fall on ihe bosom- of Mr. Hayes because, accepting the inevitable, he has called off the federal troops and recognized the omnipotcuce "of civil law; but it i3 proper that, they should approve his course in this and" every other matter when it accords with sound Demo cratic doctrine." v We "approve" without 'falling on the bosom of Mr. . Hayes." f Selah ! HO! FOR THE NORTH POLE CAP TAIN J. I. WADDELL. Who is Captain .dmeWcwsSy mines! Of course - it is not our celebrated Alabama captain Raphael Semmes. Well, Captain A. Symmes has given $500 to the Howgate Arctic Expedi tion, and holds that the earth is hol low has a sort of tube or cavity running from pole to pole that is navigable. He thinks Howgate" will be sble to enter the cavity. Would it not be a tremendous " triumph for Howgate and America, if he were to strike tho tunnel, tube ior cavity at the North pole and sail right through the centre of the earth and come out at the South pole? It fairly makes our head swim-to think of it. What a fine summer excursion it wOuld be so shady and so breezy. But stop, if the "bad place" is below, it might be better to try it in the winter time, when fire will not be disagreeable to people who are cold. CapU Symmes iiao wubieu a letter 10 tne uourier- Journal, in which he refers to a North Carolinian Capt. James I. Waddell, and his marvellous explo- ring expedition. He says: "Did not Captain Waddell go upon a Southern exploring expedition a few years ago, and find an open Polar Sea, as in the North, and when entering it find his com pass had reversed its nositinr. t,a pointing north when he thought he was eo- l?hvrdl He becamc "med and back whn if he had Allowed on. as his compass directed, he would have come out at the North pole, and would SSsZnoi6 thW ue which S axt&-is hollow, and, no doubt he wonlrt have found inhabitants within" T HISTORIC LESSONS Many of our readers are acquainted with the reputation of Edward A. Freeman. By reason of his very great work "History of the Norman Conquest," and other historical wri tings of high value, he ranks with the first men whoj have won emi nence in the historic field in Eng land, and as an authority probably ranks higher thanany other of his countrymen. . His judicial candor and fairness; his patient research; his almost entire freedom from bias or prejudice; the utter absence of al hero worship; his vast abilities; his power of grouping; his clear, terse, vigorous style, have rendered him the highest authority upon all subjects of which he treats. Such is his po-r sition at home, and when he writes of his own countrymen he may be re garded as testifying to the truth, whether for or against some, special act or bias. We are inclined to think .that to three men only may be attributed the present attitude of Great; Britain in regard to the Eastern question. We rather think that to EdwardfA. Free man, William E. Gladstone, and Thomas Carlyle the world is Indebted for' the non-interference of England as the ally of bloody Turkey,- and a consequent European war. Mr. Free man's "Ottoman Power in Europe," which arrested the attention of his countrymen at a critical period, and threw so much light upon ihe mon strosities of Turkish rule; Mr. Glad stone's speeches in Parliament and before the people, and his papers contributed to the Nineteenth Cen t ury and Fortnightly lievieio upon the Eastern embroglio; and, lastly. Mr. Carlyle's splendid protest against Protestant England's becoming tho protector of the red-handed Moslem; -these contributions stayed. the mad work of Disraeli and his-ministry more than all else, and saved Europe from a fearful, and general war. Mr. Freeman, in the work referred to, speaks very freely of his country men who are in favor of aiding the cruel and remorseless Turk, i Hear this plain-spoken and magnanimous Englishman, and learn a j lesson of truth and candor from his method of dealing with a grave, question. He - WW..-"- .5r-- - says : , "Crete was in the end conquered: and again, to the shame of England, it was largely conquered by means of an English man, ihiswasan English naval officer, Hobart by name, who was not ashamed to enter into the service of the barbarian, to take his pay, and to help bring Christian nations under his yoke. In the old days of ine Lrnsaaes mere was one Englishman, Robert, the son of Godwine, who went to the holy war, who saved the life of King Baldwin in battle, who was at last taken prisoner by the Mussulmans, and who, ra- tner man deny his faith, was shot to death with arrows in the market-mace of Cairo. Somewhat later there was another Eng lishman, Robert of St. Albans, a Knight of the Temple,, who betrayed his order, his country, and his faith, who took service under Saladin, and mocked the last agonies 01 tne christians wnen Jerusalem was taken. We have had such men as both of these in our own day. The glory of Robert, son of Godwine, has its like in the gldry of Hast- lags. 1 ne sname or nooert, of St. Albans, has its like in the shame of Hobart Of all the deeds done in naval warfare surely the most glorious was when Hastings went forth in his Karteria to free Greece from the bar barian. The basest was surely when Ho bart abased English naval skill to bring oacK me ureefcs under the Turkish yoke. WHAT BECOMES OF APPEALS. John B. Hussey, Esq., fn an inter esting letter to the Raleigji Observer, gives the following statement of what became of the appeals from thej Superior to the Supreme Court, how many of the decisions of the Judges in the lower court were sustained; and how many were overruled. 116 says: : j- . j "Judge Cannon ought to be the proudest man in the State. He had only one case before the court, and that was affirmed. Probably he has some cases in the Court of Appeals of Maryland. He held court or attempted to hold court in! Baltimore whilst riding the first circuit. Judge CaaJ hon has never enjoyed a distinguished re putation as a lawyer, but he is evidently :a successful Judge, judged by his record in the 76th reports. Judge Eure had only orie case before the court and in that he was overruled. It presents an interesting ques tion. A will declares: "That my executors have discretionary powers to settle my es tate as they judge best for the interest of the heirs at law." Held, that the executors have no power to sell the lands of the testator. Judge Furches was affirmed in 4 '.'out jot 8 cases; Judge McKoy in 5 out of 10; Bux ton in 10 out of 18; Schenck in 12 out of 17; Kerrln 14 out of 25; Moore in 4 outbf 9; Watts in 7 out of 12; Henry in 5 out lot 12. One of Judge Henry's cases, in the lan guage of Justice Rcade, 'is riot fit to be en tertained' by the Court .-. It must have been a case of a very bad moral indeed. Sey mour in 12 out of 17; and Cloud, the great luminary of the nisi prim bench, guessed right in 7 out of 11 cases. I "Judge Cloud, though the butt of news paper ridicule, is one of the most sensible Judges in the State. He never decides any question without first obtaining the opinion of one or two of the bet lawyers' at the bar. If they differ, then hguesses.' Some few years ago fiv or sixj Judge Watts, known better as "Grea sy Sam," had twenty-four decision's sent up for confirmation or rejection. The Supreme Court affirmed only four, whereupon Hon.- Josiah Tur ner, then one of the editors of the Raleigh Sentinel, suggested to His Honor that he would tnjprove his chances by throwing up heads and tails, playing "push-pinr" or "playjng doodle." When a case came Bp, that he should say "Heads for the plainl tiffp tails" for " defendant," arid then toss the copper and decide. if - Don u Piatt is gifted but uncertain. In piis clever -paper, the Capital, he jvrotd incendiary editorials against Mi?. Hayes, and has been charged re peatedly with threatening violence, assassination, or something of the kind. But be this as it may, he was extremely .hostile to alio President and he is now extremely the other way. Hear mm, ana we wish our critics to distinctly understand that we do not agree with the Washing ton editor, and, if living, expect to dq what we can to prevent any such calamity as the promised "endorse ment of an honest election." But hear the Washington extremist: f'Should President Hayes carry iuto sue ceSs the reform he attempts, he will have removed the great evil that attends h sec ond terra, and we may safely return to the practice of toe lathers. .Lei him continue as he begins, and the people, regardless of party, as be has shown himself, will insist upon the great reform he inaugurated being left, through another inauguration, in the hands of his friends. They will be as eager to retain so able a statesman and patriot in office as were our forefathers to retain Washiugtou. Washington saved us from an alien cnemj'. Rutherford B. Hayes will have saved "us from ourselves. We promise this brave man from Ohio the endorsement of an honest election.'.' Why should not the glory be given to the division that surrendered the fewest muskets and not the most? Augusta Uhron tele ana Uonsntutionaust. t .'-'" i That depends upon what they did with their muskets. If ihey fell out by the way wo can't see "tho glory." Our scholarly contemporary will re member the couplet in "The Apoph- thegmes of Erasmus" 1 "That same man that rtnneth awuic May again fight an other daie." There was one reason why North Carolina should have surrendered more muskets, as she did, both at Appomattox and at Greensboro than any other State, and that was because siie naa more troops, she never voted before 18G1 but 112,500, and yet Gov. Vance will assure you, and prove it, that she had over 121,000 troops in the war, besides. 4,000 homo guards. ;" And now the anti-Republicans in France are .clamoring to; have tho dountry declared in a state of siege, pr, as we would say in this country, declared to be under martial law. ,Would not republican principles have a healthy time under such a benign jlaw ? Our experience is, that repub-" licanism can only flourish when the military clement takes a very back seat, and, like "little Jack Horner,1 eats its little pie in "a corner." Given martial law and the sum ends no liberty, no vestige of a republic. People will be kept from the polls of coarse if there is martial law. The Baltimore Gazette happily says: "Electioncei ing with troops has reached great perfection in Jb ranee." Gen. Garfield does not like the President's civil-service order. He oonsiders it a heavy ("backset" to Re publican prospects, and is a worse blow than the much lalkedtof South ern policy. He accqses Hayes of trying to break up, to destroy, the Republican party, but thinks he will fail. CURRENT COITIITIENT. By prodigious sacrifices and against fearful odds, the States of the South asserted the right of socie ty to be constituted, not as Thad Stevens, and Garrison and Grant wished, but as God Almighty planned it. Even the Springfield Republican confesses that. It plainly tells the malcontents of its own party that they must rail against Jehovah, if they rail at all, and not against Mr. Hayes. Even Grant knew his theory, or rather the theory he administered, was monstrous. Thev Republican frankly says: "His sin and that of his advisers and party was that they did not see that they were trying to circumvent God, that they could not succeed, and that there was another and a better way to organize South ern society and government." Au gusta Chronicle and Constitutional ist, Dem. At several of the late State Republican conventions resolutions endorsing the administration of Pres ident Hayes were received with hisses and other marks of disapprobation, and were either withdrawn or defeat ed. In the State Conservative Con vention of Virginia a similar resolu tion was received with applause, and would have.been adopted by a large majority bad a vote been taken upon it; but as the Convention had been in session for three days, as the hour was late,, and as a prolonged debate would have sprang up had a vote been pressed, the- Convention ad journed pending its consideration." So says the Alexandria Gazette, and it is entirely correct. Such an en dorsement of President Hayes' ad- uiiuiuiratiou wouia nave oeen adopt ed by a large majority, but it was too late to press it.
