The republican Senate of Maine las,
year walked right up man-fashion, and
made DIR. Garcelon Governor of the State
not because they liked the Governors pol
itics, but in respect and obedience to the
laws. We believe Governor Garcelon and
Council will have equal respect for the
constitution and laws of the State. and put
behind them all propositions to introduce
lawlessness and revolution in their action
upon the election returns.
There is good reason for believing that

of murder, and sentenced to be hanged

During Greenfeld's trial, the defense
made strenuous efforts to introduce two
letters WHICH they claimed were of great
importance, as showing that Royal Kel-
logg committed the murder. The letters
were ruled out by the court upon an OBJ
lection by the prosecution. The hand
writing of the second letter was the same
as that of the first, and 100 OF the most
prominent citizens of Oswego testified un-
der oath that the second letter was writ.

is possible both Courtney and Ilanlon are
innocent, but they are in bad company. Eph
