The Maine Election.?The Democrats
are jubilant over the result in
Maine, which though carried by the
.Republicans, has been with largely reduced
majorities. In 1872 Grant carried
Maine by 32,385. In 1873 the Republicans
elected their candidate for
Governor bv 11,248 over the Democratic
and independent nominee* on a very
light vote and last year carried the
State by 11,397. The returns indicate
that they have just carried the State by
less than 4,500 majority, a loss since the
election of Grant of over 27,000, and a
loss during the last year of nearly 7,000.

a IMMIGRATION OF COLORED LABOR- ??
ERS. il
ly A Republican mooting was held in
l- Columbia last week, at which a commit"
too was appointed to confer with a similar
committco appointed on the part of
<: the blacks of Washington and Wayne !
11? counties, Ga., looking to the immigra* ''
lion of such laborers into the State.
rc. The preamble of the resolutions introof
dueed by Judge Wright recites that
'.v "Whereas the material interest andde- (j
volopuu'til of this Stale greatly depends ,
'!* upon the cultivation of the soil, and as
11 not more than one-fifth of our arable v
r" lands arc cultivated, owing to the ,1
,c scarcity of laborers, and as peace and *j

11 therefore be it resolved," ?fcc. n
'!' The speeches made on (he occasion t.
show a good deal of diversity of opin-jc
ion. Judge Mackey thought that as 0
white immigration had failed it was j;
time to introduce colored laborers, fifty (j
thousand of whom could find employ- ()
n- incut in his circuit. Senator Nash said, ,

1 the right key when he said, that we e

f)r to this cla^s. To the thrifty and indus- t

the labor of others. The best of colored j-(
E. laborers are seeking the rich fields of t]

of not many of this class are turning their 0

,,t A recent report of the Georgia Depart- 0

st startling figures as to the extent of the v
