PL.ArsTm has been declared Governor by the Maine Leg. s tilre. The It1epublicais could not Aet over the fact that Plaisted boat their nan ;quaroly. Ah:mur WV. Gnuay, (the brilliant, Ilough not I wvas reliable, Correspond Cnl ot' the Athlalt Constitution, propliesiled rocelt ly that there woull - o011 be a momntous aurprise in Geor gia polit ical circles. It is said that (ho hchemieo was for .Joe llrowii to become Secretary of tho Navy and Ge'n. Gor (ol to returen to tho Senate. Uut some how Garfield wonlin't tacekle kindly to the proposition, and 1111des didn't break loose in Georgia after all. The Presidlent-olect possibly feared that the great Georgian, if Iaido mtionarch of the sea, might, in a fit of absentm-ind ediess, imistalke the tiller ropes of the captain's gig for ploughlines, and be ginl to "goe haw" that craft s ho did the stump-tailed bull at Gaddestown. Old Joe is a wonderful fellow, but. he will hardly get into the next cabinet. .lowina Hot and Cold. Garfield blows hot and cold. Dur ing the canvass, when every colored vote in the United States was needed to elect him, he ma11ide several speeches il whichl h0 Spoke mlost all'ectionlately of the colored people, and( satid that thie party wvould never, nto niever, forget thiem. A delegation oif Alabama blacks, believing in the sincerity or thoso protestations, went last week to interview him Aind to place the "clahns" of the Pace in his hands. llis reply gave them cold comfort. .Ilint ing, in the beginning, that ho wanted them to get out of the house they were fn as soon as they could, he Intiliated that they weIre a great load on the Re publican party, and practically said they cannot expect to have their rights accorded to theim until they are more ntelligent a en clightened. Lastly ohe warned them not to raise the color line. Ie did not say it in so many Nwords, but lie hinted strongly that if race be involved white Republicans will go squarely hack on them. Altogether, Garfleld did not give the blacks quite as much enconragement. as a Southern Democrat would have done. Tho latter would have said about the same thing, only perhaps not quito so bluntly. We publish the speech in full, and as it is short we hope all colored people who can read will read it, aid those who can't will have it read to them. It will show, -what has alwal -a been said, that ihe lepublic-as care for the black maiI 1only while they want his vote. Afler that is secured they let him shift for mselT. Elliott and St raker and( Samn Lee and~ several other South C'aroliuia negro JRndicals went ont to see Garticlud too, but did not miako mnch out of him. lie reads (lie papers ando he knows ~ what sort of cattle they are. Our ad vice to the blacks is t~o let Garthold 'alonio, and make terms with the Demto crats. IEew Senators.

This chimerical schemo is merely men0i1tioned as nll instalice of castle building. ,Bfest informed politi cians say that Senator Bailey, Demo crat, will succeed himself.
