The Situation in Maine.
Our last statement of the situation
in Maine closed with the adjourn
ment of the Republican portion, or
the regularly elected portion of the
Legislature at 2.40 o'clock on Tues
day morning, the 13th inst., after that
body had formulated the trouble at
issue into a number of questions to
be submitted to the Supreme Court.
The questions submitted to the
Court numbered twenty-seven, cover
ing every shade of the difficulty.
The first question is in regard to
the lawfulness of the Governor's sum
mon to a man to attend the Lcgisla
ture who was not elected by a major
ity of the lawful votes cast
The second is in regard to the right
of such summoned members to act
as members of the Legislature.
The third asks whether such mem
bers; or those legally elected Bhould
act as members of the House.
The fourth asks whether such mem
bers as those legally elected should
act as members of the Senate.
The fifth and sixth relute to the
errors that took place in the several
election districts in the State, cler
ical errors, papers Lot properly filled
out by election boards, and so forth,
on the strength of which the trouble
has arisen.
The seventh a-sks whether a law
can be valid, or whether any business
can be legally done without 16 mem
bers in the Senate, and 76 members
in the House, excepting to from time
to time adjourn ; and if a less num
ber of members can do business,
what business.
The eighth asks as to whether 16
members in one house, and 76 in the
other, if not a legally organized
house, can compel the attendance of
absent members.
. Ninth. To make up i)ie legal qno
rran required on any vote in either
House, can the votes of any person
be counted who, though summoned,
does not appear to be elected by the
official returns, under the Constitu
tion and the decision of the court T
Tenth. Can the Governor and Coun
cil legally administer the qualifying
oath to memler8-elect of the House
of Representatives, when on a yea
and nay vote, as 6hown by the record.
c.nlv seventv three members, both
ar
niJ.-s inclusive, Tote on the motion to
require the attendance of the Gov
ernor and Council for that purpose ?
Eleventh. Can a valid organization
be creairi'by the Governor and
Council when a quorum is not pres
ent, and vyhen the point has been
raised thf.t no quorum is present ?
Twelfth. Is the oath of the Gover
nor and Council binding when admin
istered to members who do not ap
pear elected by official returns T
Thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
are inquiries as to the time of the ex
Diration of State officers.
Sfttecnth and seventieth make inqui
ries as to whether the President of
t'-e Senate can become Governor in
iase of vacancy of the Chief Execu
f ive's chair, when the President of
the Senate is an officer of a Legisla
ture many members of which have
rn fraudulently summoned, and
illegally organized.
There were ten other questions,
but they all had one bearing, and that
was as to the right of the members
elected but counted out by the Gov
ernor and Council and excluded from
th Legislature to meet with the
other regularly elected members and
organize a Legislature by themselves
"When the Republicans adjourned
they adjourned to meet on Saturday
January 17th. As soon as they were
out of the Legislative halL the fu
siouists Democrats and Greenback-
ers entered. They had no Gover
nor, but they proceeded to form t
business quorum by counting out i
Republican here and there, and
placing a Democrat or a Greenbacker
in his place, just as the combination
between them happened to be, and so
they worked along until Friday,
when, as they thought, they had or
ganized properly, they proceeded to
. count the vote for Governor and to
declare their choice. The House sent
to the Senate the names of Joseph
L. Smith, Greenbacker, and Alonzo
Garcelon, Democrat, as candidates
for Governor. The Senate elected
Mr. Smith, Governor.
At 4:30 o'clock a joint convention
was held in the House, to ailminister
the oath of office to Mr. Smith. He
woa cTfim in. The Secretary of
State delivered a proclamation, which
was followed by a message by Sir.
Smith.
The joint convention also proceed
ed to elect a full 6et of State.officers.
Mr. Smith proposed to relieve Gen.
Chamberlain of the command of the
militia, but as the General proposed
to hold on till after the fcupreme
Court should decide on the points
that had been handed up to it by the
Republican Legislature, he did not
hand over.
About the time the fusionista had
got their machine fairly tinder way
the Supreme Court announced its
opinion or decision. "It is that the
Governor has no right to summon or
certificate any one who has not been
elected to the Legislature according
to the returns, that is, received a ma
jority of the legal votes polled on a
day certain in his district, nor has
such a person so illegally summoned
a right to sit in the Legislature or
take part in its organization. The
person rightfully elected can appear
and establish his rights to his seat
against the man summoned, and the
clerk has no power to make up an
arbitrary roll and exclude any one,
and the roll can be, and must be, cor
rected wheneverit is wrong. The
court holds that the act of 18G9,
which gives the Legislature the power
to organize with the members certi
ficated by the Governor, is unconsti
tutional, because it enables the Gov
ernor and Council to organize a Leg
islature to suit themselves, whether
the niemliers thereof have been elect
ed or not. It is true this court has
decided before that the Senate can
organize with less than a quorum of
members when less than a quorum
have been actually elected, but that
decision doeB not apply in the pres
ent case. The court further decided
that Mr. Lamson who, it will be re
membered, claimed to be Governor
because he was President of the Fu
sion Senate was not the acting Gov
ernor, because he was not legally
elected by a legal Legislature, and
that the Republican Legislature is
the legal and proper one. This ru!e
out Mr. Smith and his Council and
friends in the great Fusion fraud.'
On Tuesday, the 13th, when the
Republican Legislature adjourned.
which was after it had submitted the
trouble to the Supreme Court, it ad
journed to meet on Saturday, the
17th. At 2:20 p. on Saturday the
Republican legislature was re-conven
ed. Two Fusion members came in. A
committee on the counting of the
Gjvernor'6 vote was appointed. The
vote as counted stood, Daniel F. Da
vis, 68,969 ; Joseph L Smith, 47,673 ;
Alonza Garcelcn, 21,851 ; Bion Brad
bury, 261. The Legislature by a
large majority declared Mr, Davis to
be the Governor.
General Chamberlain handed the
command of the militia of the Stat
to Governor Davis. The Governor
immediately again put the General
at the head of the militia of the
State, and that was-the situation of
affairs in Maine on Saturday evening
at 6:45 o'clock.
On Monday, at 10 o'clock, the Re
publican Legislature re-convened,
and proceeded with the regular busi
ness of the State.
About 4 o'clock on Monday after
noon the Fusion Governor and about
fifty members of the Fusion Lgisla
ture called at the public buildings to
tret possession. Not being admitted
thev held a meeting on the pavement,
which, in the main, was peaceable in
tone.
All the State governments and the
National government of the Repub
lic is based upon the principle or idea
that ail grievances, or wrongs of
whatsoever kind, may lie settled in a
peaceable way : that if people cannot
settle their difficulties among them
selves, they may call in the aid of
court and jury to help bring about a
settlement ; if the laws are not sat
isfactory. Legislative bodies and Con
gress may change the laws. If the
courts are wrong, they, too, may be
changed, and in time new Judges
elected. The whole machinery of
government may be changed by bal
lot. Such is the principle or idea on
which the government is based, and
so long as the people insist that there
shall be no departure from it, then
liberties are safe. Once they allow
any set of men to appeal from the
peaceable means, as provided by tne
constitutions of States and of the
Nation, to a settlement of dispute
by the 6word, their freedom wiil be
gone. At one stage of tue Maine
trouble it looked as if the bad lead
ers would be allowed to resort to the
sword to settle the trouble. The
better people of all parties crushed
out the war spirit, and the result is
a settlement of the wrong by peace
able means. The question can be
carried into the next canvass or elec
tion and the wrong-doers given a
rebuke by the vote of the people.
Within the past few years it has
been the boast of leading Democrats
that when the next rebellion takes
place it will be over the whole coun
try, and many discriminating men
now say that the now rebellion was
to be started in Maine as an experi
ment. The people who take such a
view of the situation may be correct
in their view, and they may not be
correct There is one thing certain,
however, that the people generally
without regard to party are too good
at heart and too intelligent in mind,
to be led off by ignorant, bad and
reckless men into a civil war for
office.
The work of the Democracy in
Maine has been called the " conspir
acy of treason against the sovereign
ty of the people."
Last week it was reported that all
the warehouses in the west are full of
grain. Now it is reported that they
are full because of no satisfactory
freight rates having been obtained
from the railroads, and that the prob
abilities are that the grain will be

The crash between capital and la-!
bor has a fit illustration hi that of a
man who, by economy and persever
ance, or by inheritance has obtained
money, invests Lis money in a manu
facturing establishment that employs
many men, who in the course of a
number of years have worked the
capitalist to bankruptcy; that is a
crash between capital and labor. He
may invest in a railroad and pay his
money to men for building the road
and keeping up the road, and only
once in a while get a dividend on his
money ; that is a crash between capi
tal and labor. A mart may start 3
business start on 10 cents cash and
90 cents credit and in a few years
fail, and not pay the men whom he
employed, or the goods that he had
on credit and that is a crash between
capital and labor. The illustrations
of such crashes are multitudinous,
and they are about the only substan
tial crashes that can take place. The
man or men who go about the coun
try trying to create the belief that
there is a great evil pending because
one man may chance to get one dol
lar a day and another forty cents a
lay, or because one man has saved
his money and another has spent his
money, is not the kind of a man to
listen to.
" Two Mexicans living in Texas re
cently quarreled alwut a woman, and
resolved to settle their differences in
a duel with lassoes. The affiir was
conducted decently and in order un
der the supervision of friends. Both
were well mounted, and in the first
tilt one of the duelists was lassoed
about the neck and jerked from his
saddle so violently as to almost dis
locate his vertebras. That ended the
duel, and settled the ownership of
the bone of contention."
" Two residents of a town in Illi

of the burial lot ordered the removal
of the remains of Ids former friend's
dead. The latter refuses, and the
matter has been carried into court

The North .tmerican writes it in
this way : The Scotch Ministers of
the old school have no difficulty in
accounting for the Tay disaster. They
say it was a visitation to punish the
wickedness of running trams on the
Sabbath, and what is more, they no
doubt believe it No one who has
not lived in Scotland can appreciate
the severity with which the Sabba
tarians of the stricter 6ort observe
the first day of the week.
" At a recent fashionable wedding

Beware of Gold Money.
From Peterson' Counterfeit Detector.
A wonderfully well-executed bogus
half eagle or five dollar gold piece
Las just ieen pat in circulation here
and iu other cities and towns. 1 be
officers of tbe United Sates Mint in
this city inform us that it is by far tbe
best counterfeit, half eagle that ever
came under their observation, and
some of ibem bave examined not a few
Tbe $5 gold piece weighs 129 grains;
tbe spurious coins to which we bave
referred, when carefully tested at tbe
mm', showed a weight of 1271 grains
1 1 grains light by tbe most delicate
ly adjusted scales. Therefore, tbe
iigbtue8s of weight is not likely to be
detected by tbe general public. To
make tbe matter worse tbe easting of
gold on tbe imitation coin is thick
enough to resist tbe test of tbe acids
usually employed for tee purpose. A
Duuiber of these pieces bave passed
through tbe bands of very expert tell
ers in our eity banks. A little abras
ion produced by use is likely to wear
away tbe outer coating of gold and ren
der detection more easy. For the
present can only say, beware of receiv
ing too many brand new and glittering
half eagles.
A Heroic Texas Doctor.
From the Buffalo Express.
A hero among physicians is Dr. Sontb
of western Texas. He was warned
some time ago that bis life was to pay
tbe forfeit for Laving voted on tbe
Grand Jury for the indictment of a cer
tain band of desperadoes, Oue nigbt
a man rode up to tbe doctors's ranch
and told him that the wife of the ring
leader of the gang was ill, and tbat be
must attend ber. lie naturally thought
that it was a trick to get him out and
kill bim, bnt be was conscientious in
bis profession. He got bis horse and
rode away with tbe messenger, right in
to the gang of desperadoes, and dis
mounting, entered tbe tent of tbe wo
an. Tb.re lay the sufferer, while tbe
man wbo bad promised to kill tbe doe
stood near by. Tbe doctor drew bis
revolver, plated it on tbe pilicfw, and
remarked tbat be would "attend to pro
fessional call first an personal ones af
terward." Tbe desperadoes were
struck with bis eourage and humanity,
and trebled bis fee instead of shooting
bim. .
Young folks should beware of practi
cal j ikes. So should old folks, too;
though they are not so much given to
the nonsense, and therefore do not stand
in need of tbe caution. A young man,
a son of Connecticut, and a youth of
fine physique, good talents and charac
ter, and ot much promise, died recent
ly from tbe effects cf a practical joke of
which be was tbe victim. One day
friend palled ebair from under tbe
young man as be was in the act of sit
ting down, and be fell heavily to the
floor, the shock developing spinal dis
ease, which resulted fatally. Fancy the
friend's feelings, reader, if yon can.
