The Somerset Herald WS PHESDAT.... . ! wt-rr 51 le"7. The Louisville Courier Journal, tbe leading Democratic j .uriial of the South saye, the onlr way to do jus tice to Governor Garceloo is to make "ehort ebrift of Ltisn with a stout cord from one of the elms of Augusta." It is eaey to talk about millions, but it is difficult to realize the amount represented by the figures. The published ataiistitM hor the Co (Trot IT a Peanlaa Bill.

It is toe people that are booming lor the "Great Captain," and the politicians and tho machine men ere on a dead run to catch up. The Brigadiers who have ttolen the Southern States, are looking on with breathless interest, while the Democratic burglars are trying to "get away" with Maine. If the theft is successful they will chuckle u gleefully over the aptness cf their pupils, as Fagin, the Jew, did over the exploits of the Artful Dodger. The Charleston Newt and Courier (Dem.,) is trying to quiet its fears with the suggestion that the inde pendent voters of the North will not support Grant, "if the Democrats of fer tbem a better man." There i much virtue in an "if." When the Democrats find a "better man" will the X. and C. please make a note of it? Ex-Sesator Morrill, of Maine, has written a letter to Governor Garcelon proposing to submit all the ouettions in dispute to the highest court of the State for legal decision Now let us 6ee whether this accident al Governor, who claims to be so conscientious, will dare submit his fraudulent conduct to the investiga tion of the Supreme Court of his State. The Democratic editors who talk of the 'counting-out process iu Maiae' as a counterpart to "the counting-out process of a Presidency" need to be reminded that the latter was a Dem ocratic ecbeme originated and pro- nosed bv Democrats to prevent the 4- counting of the vote by the Vice President: and that it did not result as they wished, was owin g to facts over which they bad no control. agricultural products of the United ! , btiot Lis application can be i-Tvj-u t:u, 11 luuutr uu meritori ous tbe soldier may be, or how de scrviuir Lis cut p.

Garcelon and his council "counted out" enough Republican members to give the FuEionists six of a majority on joint ballot Xow if three of the men counted in are honest enough to refuse seats they know tbey were not elected to fill, the conspiracy must fall through. One of tbe fusion mem bers has published a card, under his own signature, indignantly repudia ting tbe fraud. If two mora just men come out of tbe Democratic Sodom the fraud must fail. A few hundred negroes having 'ateiy emigrated from Xorth Carolina to Indiana, the Democrats of the lat ter Slate have raised a how!, and their great Senator Mr. Dan. Voor bees has had a committee appointed by tbe Senate to inquire into the cause of tbe movement, and all the email-fry Democratic politicians of the country are waltzing around on their ears, asserting that the object of the emigration is with the view of carrying Indiana for the Republican candidate for President in 1S30. The negroes themselves say that tbe se lection of Indiana as their future res idence was purely accidental. A conple of intelligent men of their number were sent out to investigate the state of affairs In Kansas, and re port. In passing through Indiana, they were accidentally delayed near Shelby ville, and finding labor in de mand, advised their friends to settle there. ' Those that have arrived find immediate employment, and through them, several hundred others, espec ially good house servants and cooks, have been' engaged to come into that portion of the State. This is tbe whole storv, and we judge tbe Republicans will take care that tbe new immigrants are protected in all their rights. In answer to the Democratic howls, the Indianapolis Journal puts the following "twisters" to certain eminent Democratic citi zens of that State. ' "What right hod Mr. Hendricks to emigrate from Muskingum county, Ohio, to this State? He did not bring any silver plate nor any broad cloth garments into the State. What right bad Senator McDonald to emigrate- from Batler county, Ohio, to this State ? ' He wag as poor as a North Carolina negro when be came here. " What right had Senator Voor hees' parents to emigrate from Vir ginia to this State ? Congress never authorized tBem(oIo so. What right had General Maaaon, who was born at Piqaa, Ohio, to move into this State f He never had any per mit , What right had Governor Wil liams (9 move from Pickaway coun ty, Ohio, to Knox county, Indiana, if ben the whole family possessions scarcely amounted to the value of a Webster's pelliog-book t Who im ported tbe editor of tbe Sentinel into this State f What were the causes that led to his immigration, and what was the object of his introduction ? What right had thousands of "poor 'whites' in the Southern States, who vere degraded there because they were too poor to own slaves, to move to Indiana and assist in building up the Democratic party; here 1 What Tight had thousand of poor Irishmen, with toothing iav the worid " but the ihirts on their backs, to come here straight from the old country and .be come Democratic voters years before they were v citizens f !f some able1 Democrat will answer these qoes tionvthen w tell him by what right ih colored American citizens emigrate rtm North Carolina to Ia diana." r"' - nullified, and no legal technicalities can disguise the fact that tbe people of Maine elected a Republican Leg islature, aad are, tberefore.entiiled to it Such being the case, the 'Fusion ist8,' as they are called, have com mitted a blander equivalent to a crime, and cannot escape the penalty attached. Their temporary victory will prove worse than ths worst de feat." Thet know very well "down South" why the negroes are emi grating to Kaoeas and Indiana, and they don't waQt tbe true reason to eaia any larger publicity. Therefore the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle (Dem ) says : The Voorhees resolution, provid ing for tbe appointment of a special committee to inveftigate and report I upon tbe so-called negro exodus from North Carolina to Indiana, is a mas terpiece of folly. That it should have been adopted l a Senate of sensible men is indeed surprising. Mr. VoorLeea aod Lis Democratic associates have not only ordered the investigation of a matter with which Congress has nothing to do, and over which it can exercise no control, but they have played into the hands of their political opponents and given tbem an opportunity to collect bloody shirt material for consumption. Mr. Voorhees is a fiery untamed orator, no doubt, but he is rather a slack wad as a statesman, or even as a politician. The editor of the Solid Muldoon, publinhcd at Ouray, Col, is not back ward in vaunting his newspaper. Speaking of it, he rays : It is tbe most powerful antidote to meanness and kiadred diseases ever offered to a suQerinir community Elder Ripley, who hasn't told tbe truth in thirty -two years, feels better, and he's only been on our list two months. Captain Stanley, who hasn't tasted water for thirteen years, can now look at a brooklet without serious results.

One annnra contains fifty-two doses. ia another view of the case. Tbe soldier who lost a limb and afterward applied himself indus ttiously to business, thereby acquir ing sutScient means to maintain bim- eeif and those dependent upon him, would be deprived of a jut pensiou by tbe provision ot this bill; wbere as, another soldier with similar disa bility, but of a lazy and prodigal character, could march up to the Government crib and draw his month ly pay, without any compunction cf conscience. l be conditions ot ttie Dili auo prove, that "Colonel" CoflYolh is no statesman: that he isueiiherpofesess ed of sense uor sound judgement, and that he is catering for the votes of the vagrent element ia his district. If these tb:ogs can be explained away, we are ready to hear wnat tbe organs bave to say about it ; but ol one thing we are confident; no sen sible soldier can fail to ducern at a glance, the humiliation that rrnm be brought upon our disabled heroes, should the proposed bill become a law. No honorable soldier can hud sumcient chantv in bis beart to thank Mr. Cofl'roth, the "Colonel," for bis officioueoees in this matter. We deuire it to be distinctly under, stood that we do not reier to this sub ject in a spirit of political prejudice. It is a matter altogether beyond tbe pale of political wrangles, and our only object ia to shield ttie honorable heroes of the late war, from the stig ma that would attach to them as public beggars, under tbe provUious and regu.atious of this bill, which we regard as aa outrageous insult to every honorable soldier who bus sur vived the wur. Tyrone Herald. Some of the Democratic papers, in commenting on tbe situation in Maine, state that as tbe countiog out was done under a law passed by the Republicans, the latter ought not to complain. This is notoriously false. The "counting out" was done by re pudiating a law passed by tbe Re publicans ia the interest ot fairness The law stood in Garcelon's way, and he pronounced it unconstitution al e Richmond (Va.) Stale, a Democratic paper, condemns the out rage in Maine, and says that tbe Democratic Party cannot afford, io any view of tbe case, to sustain or condone it. It predicts that Garce 1q "will either have to back down from the position he has taken as gracefully as possible, or be left alone high and dry, to pay the penalty of his blunder, for blunder it is, and of tbe most criminal nature." Let the Republicans of the State of Maine stand shoulder to shoulder in resisting this great wrong. A way will be found to correct it It must be defeated, or our liberties are gone. We will be counted out next year if we submit this year. Besides, if it succeeds here, it will be tried else where to determine tbe Presidential election. It U part of a conspiracy that includes tbe National Govern ment, and we must resist it if we do not desire to see lawlessness and anarchy spreadiug far over our land. Kennelec Journal. The Hon. E. Sprout, Fusion number-elect from Veatle to the Legisla ture of Maine, has published a card ia which he says : "I wish to give expression to part of my feelings as to tbe course pursued by the Gover nor and Council in counting out mem bers of tbe Legislature legally elect ed- I bave from the beginning, pub- licly tod openly denounced their course as fraud which no honest man should opioid, and I now say that I still denounce it, and will not uphold it either by my rokcxir vote, and I hope that everv honest can elected oa the Fusion ticket will join with me in putting down this out rage. Ejarh Law. Halue Pemuerntii Tnhliiir Arms from the IlatiKor Arneunl. Raxoor, Me., December 23 Ex citement was created here to-day by reports of tbe extensive removal of arms and ammunition from tbe state arsenal to tbe depot for transporta tion to Augusta. About 0 o'clock i'. M. two truck teams loaded with arms and ammunition were stopped on the Kendubkeag bridge by a crowd, which rapidly increased to a throng that filled the streets, declar ing that the anus should never be curried out of the city. Mayor Brown demanded of the teamster tbe orders uuder which ne was acting. No satisfactory answer was given at first, tbe man saying that Mr. Thayer, the landlord of tbe Penob scot Exchange, had sent word for tbe teams to take the arma. A young man named French was then ushered through the throng, who eaid be was rlurk in tbe Adjutant General's office, and moving tbe arms to Augusta under orders from the Governor. The excitement cf the populace was greatly iucreased by this statement, and tbe crowd at tempted to unharness the horses. The Mayor told Mr. French that he bad not force enough to guarantee the safety of the munitions if the at tempt to remove them was persisted in while the people were excited. He said he would take no responsi bility for tbe trcublo that might en sue. Mr. French decided it best to return the arms to tbe arsenal rather than incur the hazard of a riot, and tbe Mayor furnished police to protect tbem on their return. Public excite ment wa increased by a report that J. L. Smith, Greenback candidate for governor, S. W. Haskins, Fusion Indian agent, and M. M. Folsom, of Oldtown, were closeted at the Penob scot Exchange during the day, and Major Folsom apppeared on the ground after the team had turned back, and told Clerk French that he made a mistake in not pushing through to the depot, and urged him to change his orders for their return to tbe arsenal. Mr. French, however, was unwilling to assume tbe respon sibility of the collision w ith the pop ulace. Tbe excitement is at fever heat throughout tbe city. The escape from bloodshed this af ternoon was very narrow. Adjutant General Leavitt will arrive here to morrow. What action will be taken is not known. It is well known that the Republicans are forming a secret military association, and threats bave been made that tbey would seize the arms in the arsenal. cisiog tbe functions of a Returning Bjatd would require very strong laoguage. Tbe whole defence they make that tbe law obliges them to exact rigid c i.formity to certain rules ia exDiitioir lbs eltctiou returns is demolihri! by two Uctj. One that the rriviti and omissions which they bave discovered aod used occur only iu tow and districts in which the Republicans have a majority, and it passes btliif tbat cone should bave been discovered or discoverable in towns and districts in which tbe Demccrats bad a majority. The other is tbat a law of 1S77 permit tbe Uovernor and Council, when can vaesiog the ie urns, to correct such errors and omissions by comparison with the reo'ud ; and tbey refuse to avail tliemsihes of this permission. on the ground that the law is unconsti tutional. But it U a well settled and necessary principle of American juris prudence tbat every law is to be deemed constitutional until a compe tent tribunal decides otberwise; and on tbis point tbe Governor and coun cil refuse to take tho opinion of the court, thus raising a presumption ot bad taitb ot he strongest kind They have no mot., right to declare a law unconstitutional than any other man in the State ; and if tbey can refuse to avail themselves of a permissive act on this ground, they can refuse to obey a mandatory one. In short, there is a hij degree of probability that they bavo beeu guilty of fraud in examining and correcting the re turns, and there is absolute certainty tbat tbey have been guilty of a gross abuse of discretion in tbeir manner of correcting; them. The indignation their performance excites io Maine and throughout the country is not surprising, and it is by no means confined to Republicans. The affair is catling forth, also, hearty denunci ation in leading Democratic papers. e do not ceed to point out tbe ef fect it is likely to bave on tbe Demo cratic fortunes next year. Tbe Ohio Valley. Two Men Killed. Macos, Dec. 23. Two Irish lads, Edvard Harvey and Jams M'Gee ver, dry good peddlers, were mur dered on Friday by a party of ne groes, near Jerrigan. Russell county, Ala., and their bodies thrown into the Chattaboochie river. Tbe mur der was discovered on Saturday and two cegroes were arrested and con fessed, implicating two others. A large crowd of whites and blacks as sembled oa Sunday at 4 p. m , and decided to hang tbe two murderers, which was dB3 forthwith. Tbey St. Louis, Dec. 2G. The pissen ger train on the Chicago and Alton railroad which left here last night for Kansas City Tan ou the track between Kane and Berdaa stations, some time last night Two passengers were killed, several badly injured, two coaches burned, and tbe train gener ally wrecked. Tbe accident was caus ed by a broken rail. Chicago, Dec. 2G J. C. McMul len. general manager of the Cbicagn and Alton Railroad, says his infor mation respecting the accident at Berdao, 56 miles north of St. Louis, is to tbe effect that the train was run ning at the rate of SJi uibis an Lour ; tbat after tbe engine and all the tars except the sleeper, which was toe last one on tbe train, had passed over safely, a steel rail, rendered brittle by tbe cold, snapped, and threw tbe sleeper from the track. This ditched all tbe other cars, tbe engine alone remaining on the track- The porter, George Paine, of Chicago, and Col. Bond, of Auburn, III., were killed, fie brakeman, sleeping car conduct or, and a Piittiber of passengers were hurt, bat aoJ seriously. Two coaeb were twraeJ, end the whole train was badlr wrecked. The fact tbat all tbe car except tbe lst pass Cincixxati, Dec. 24 Heavy rain yesterday and to-day has been gen eral all along both sides of the Ohio river, and tbe prospects are tbat there will be a flood. The river has risen nine feet here during tbe past twenty-four hours. In Kentucky the rain of to-day is said to have been tbe heaviest in thirty years, and much damage has baen done along the Licking river by the sudden rise. Tbe little Miami river is very high. A bridge over Walnut creek, on the Daytcu and Southeastern Railroad, was washed away by a sudden flood. Tbe Big Sandy river has risen ten feet in twelve hours, and to-night is rising at tbe rate of a foot an hour. Large quantities of staves, lumber and logs tbat were collected on the batiks of tbe Big Sandy are floating down the river, entailing much loss. Reports from the bead waters of the Onio indicate a rapid rise there, so that what is known as the coal boat stage at Pittburg is assured for to morrow, letting out the largest coal vessels that ere used.
