Augusta, Me-, Dec. 3.-Charles b.
Rounds, county attorney for the coun-
ty of Washington, has addressed let
ter to the governor and council, re-
ferring to their refusal to allow the in
spection of the returns. Rounds offers,
on behalf of the republican, senators
elect from Washington county, if the
board will open the subject for investi-
CATION. to prove that in the case of the
ret urns from the democratic towns for
senators and representatives there has
been change made; that this change
was made to supply defects discovered
by the surreptitions and premature
openings of returns; and that they must
involve in some form the collusion or
conniyance of persons connected with
the state government. The witnesses
he desires to have summoned are princi-
pally persons connected with the state
government, officers in the democratic
towns, and few others who have COM
petent knowledge on which to testify.

New York, Dec. 3. "A special from
London says the illness of the queen,
mentioned in these dispatches yester-
day, has not yet materially yielded to
treatment. In connection with the
symptoms which accompany an acute
attack of billiousness, her majesty is
suffering from severe sore throat,
which threatens serious results. Her
majesty's physicians are said to regard
her case as requiring most careful and
skillful attention, and have issued di-
rections that no person except nurses
and members of the royal household be
admitted to her presence for the pres
ent. Matters of state, which demand
the queens official cogniZance, and doc
uments which are imperative without
her signature, are laid on the table to
await the issue of her indisposition. In
court and government circles much So
licitude is felt, aud bulletins, which are
posted several timss day, containing
brief announcements of her condition,

crowds of people.
