A Siee Programme.
WASHINGTON, December %.
Garfield and other Republicans here have
been advising over the Maine muddle, and
have telegraphed Senator Hamlin that they
advise resistance, even to the extent OF
force. The President informs Garfield
that he will recognize the Davis Legisla-
ture il it is set up as the legal Legislature
by the Republicans. The plan consem-
plated by the sender Of this dispatch may
be briefly stated as follows: When the day
for the meeting Of the Maine Legislature
arrives, the Republicans who have eertih-
Gates from the returning officers and those
counted out are to assemble and organize
a. the legal Legislature. The counted out
Republicans will previously, il possible,
procure certificates from the Supreme
Court Of the State, or failing in that, from
County Clerks. They are then to proceed
to elect Davis Governor, and if the Fusion
lists also organize and elect Garcelon or
Smith, an issue will then be presented to
call for . decision from President Hayes as
TO which is the legal Legislature q duly
constituted government of the State. The
question, it is claimed, can be brought be-
fore him very readily by q call from the
Davis Legislature for National aid to sup
press resistance to their authority, or in
other way, within the purview Of the
act OF February %, 1875. This act. accord
ing to the famous Supreme Court decision
in the case Of Luther vs.. Borden, pro-
nounced by Chief Justice fancy in the year
1848, delegated to the President the power
to declare, for the purposes OF the act,
whether the government organized in .
State is the duly constituted government
of that State, and after he has decided the
question, the courts Of the United States
are bound to follow his decision. The Su-
preme Court further held that the govern
ment OF q State by its Legislature has the
power to protect itself from destruction by
armed rebellion by declaring martial
law, and that the Legislature is the sole
Judge of the existence Of the necessary
exigency. 1t will be seen, therefore, that
the matter. after all, ia for the President to
decide which is the legal Legislature Of
Maine, in case two bodies set up their
All recent advices from Maine, as
well as the movement in this city above
outlined, point conclusively to the deter
mination Of the Republicans not to sub
NIT to Governor Garcelon's action, which
they consider q gross outrage upon politi-
cal rights, and q violation Of every prin-
ciple Of fairness and equity. Hence, there
to be astrong probability that within
the next three weeks the President will be
called upon to decide between the claims Of
the contending parties in the Pine Tree
State, and that the Maine muddle will be-
come q matter Of immediate National i'm
portance.
Booth mot q Third.termer.
NEW YORK, December %.
Senator Booth said. at the Sturtevant
House last night. that he did not think
the popular feeling. in his State, was in
favor Of Grant, although the ex-President
would, undoubtedly, enjoy a strong sup
port, and, if nominated, would carry the
State. The people Of California were OPP
posed to q third term, save under excep-
circumstances, and Grants personal
did not think a third candidacy
would be desirable for him. The Senator
Blaine would be California's first
choice, among the Republicans, and Grant,
probably, the second choice.
