GOVERNOR FAIRBANKS ILLNESS.

GOVERNOR FAIRBANKS ILLNESS.
A special from Montpelier gives the
following particulars of the illness
Of Gov. Fairbanks:
"About two weeks ago Governor
Fairbanks was taken with a throat
epidemic, then prevailing in Mont
peier to some extent; and which
has resulted in his case. in a spas.
modic affection of the voluntary
muscles of the throat, nearly ap.
preaching lockjaw. On the Oath Of
November, it seemed at times as
though ne could not survive this
difficulty. No physician in this re-
gion has ever seen a similar case or
is able to pronounce the complaint.
Concentrated liquid food only, can
be administered at rare intervals,
when nourishment becomes impera.
tive and the presence of physician,
and this occas ion such extreme pain
that chlorofOrm had to bs resorted
to to relieve his sutferings. Not.
outstanding his critical condition,
Governor Fairbanks sat up in bed
and read each bill passed in the
closing hours of the session of the
legislature. He remains at the
Pavilion Hotel, attended by his
family physician from st. Johns
bury. DR.. Bowditch of Boston
having been summoned, arrived
yesterday. lie is alarmed at Gov.
Fairbanks condition. lie thinks
there is an ahSceSs in the throat.
DR.. Bowditch, who is not a surgeon
himself, had Il skillful one in an ad.
joining room all last night for the
purpose OF cutting the Governors
thront and inserting tube when
the throat should become entirely
Gagged, as the doctor feared it
might during the night. About
midnight his physician gave him a
Dovers powder, which lodged in his
throat and caused him to strange
and to have spasms, and for time
it seemed necessary to perform the
operation of inserting the tube in
the throat to enable him to breathe.
The surgeons were summoned, the
tube, chIoroform and everything
were in readiness for the insertion of
the tube into the throat, when the
Governor recovered and began to
breathe again, since which time he
has been more comfortable"

JUDGE STANLEY MATTHEWS OF
OHIO ON THE LOUISIANA ELECTION.
l am satisfied there was not II free
aud tair election that in many parts
Of the State the election, although
to outward appearances Oh election
day peaceful, was neither free NOT
fair, by reason OF systematic intim.
idati0ns aud displays of violence
carried OH prior to that time; that
it produced such a state OF affairs
and apprehension and sense Of dan
ger on the part of negroes who had
been Republicans that they either
did not vote at all on election day,
or else voted the Democratic ticket.
In one instance. that seemed to M
we'll authenticated.I understood that
a gang Of 81 or co negroes we've es,
cmttd to the polls by mounted white
men, armed. They had been pro-
vided with Democratic tickets,
which they voted. aud then filed of
from the place OF voting, tOa per
son who gave them certificates, in
writing, that they had voted the
Democratic ticket, in order that they
might have them for protection.
The Democrats deny all these chare-
ca OF intimidation, and aIlege thai,
what cases of intimidation took
place were by Republican negroes
towards Democratic negroes. And
the result, probably, will be state
ments on both sides, APPARENT!
supported by proof, which will IL
entirely irecOnciable, and each OF
which will he az opted by the patti.
sans Of the party in whose favor TIN
case is. So that the only ground
on which any one can stand who
hopes for peace is upon the techni-
col legal right OF the board of re
turning officers to make the decis
ion which seems to them to he right.
Nobody will ever get any nearer
the truth than that, and that decis
ion ought to I've accepted as the val
id. binding decree of the only legal.

resents government, law, order, anu

The Next House Of Representatives.

The Next House Of Representatives.
We have carefully compared the
tables of the different parties, and
give the following, as what we think
will be the complexion Of the next
United States uouse Of Represen'
tatives:
In 80 States, there is little or no
question and their Representatives
iu the next House will be 1l2 Re
publicans and 125 Democrats.
This leaves five States over which
there is, still a wide difference IN
estimates: Republicans claim both
Congrc ssmen in Florida, while Dem
Ocrats only give them one. In Lou
isiana the Republicans claim three
while only one is conceded to them.
There are good grounds to support
us in saying, the Republicans will
secure both of their Representa-
tives on the official count, although
on the face of the returns Demo.
Gratis are elected, yet there are such
unmistakable evidence of fraud on
their part as will at the proper time
seat the legally elected Republicans.
South Carolina, Missouri and Penn.
sylvania, each have seat to be
contested by Democrats. with a
faint hope Of success in the tw"
first; while there IS little doubt OF
their having three of the five Con-
gressmen in South Carolina. New
Hampshire has not yet elected her
Representatives. At present the
Democrats have two Of the three,
this order may be reversed next
March. Now from these figures
the Democrats still have 10 MAORI
ty, and we have no reason to think
this majority can be increased, while
it may be reduced to six. We have
nothing to fear from the 45th Con.
gress with SO small majority they
are literally powerless to pass any
of their radical measures which at
one time we had good reason to be-
lieve they would attempt. and with
q smaller force of Republicans to
oppose them could successfully Car.
~ out.
