THE MAIN MIDDLE.
What the Council VIII Do.

AUGUSTA, December 1.-THE Name
Standard, the Democratic organ OF the
State government, announces to-day IN
a semi-Official tone, that the returns
from Portland, Lewiston, Saco, Augusta,
HallOwelle, Bath and ROckland, for rep
resentatives, all have some technical de-
feet, and that the Governor and Council
will reject them all. These cities elected
fifteen Republican representatives. The
most common defect alleged is, that the
returns were signed by three aldermen
instead of four. In Portland the defect
was in using the word scattering"
Belfast is also understood to be among
the diSiranchised cities on the
ground that DIR. Brooks, Representative
elect, is an examining surgeon Oi pen
sions and ineligible The law prohibits
the Governor and Council taking into
account the question of eligibility IN
Senators and Representatives elect, but
it il understood that the Governor and
Council adjudge this law also TO be un-
and not to be Obeyed.
Benton and hennebec counties Is in
cluded among those where il is alleged
that the returns were clandestinely
changed. Chas. b. Rounds, who made
the charge Of illegal amendment OF the
returns, was before the Governor and
Council to-day in reference to the re-
turns for county officers of Washington
county, Rounds being candidate Tor
as county attorney.
a somewhat angry collOquy ensued
between the Governor and Rounds IN
regard to the charges. Rounds stated
that he had come there to inspect the re-
turns for county officers by special APP
pOintment, and that he would be ready
in regard to the charges preferred by
him whenever the Governor and COun-
ell would order the investigation for
which he had asked.

Criminal Cases in Court

Criminal Cases in Court-The Cantata, &C.
The trial OF Barney Cling Jones came
on in the Circuit Court at nine O'Clock
this morning, but was brought 10 aI
abrupt termination soon after by the
discovery OF the fact that the horse
which Jones il charged with stealing
was not the property OF Mr.. Beck, a.
charged in the indictment, but belonged
10 Mrs. Beck, and therefore nothing re-
mained but for the jury 10 find the
prisoner not guilty, which they prompt
ly did. Jones was remanded 10 Jail,
however, 10 await the finding Of a
proper indictment.
Barbour, who was acquitted Of the
charge of horse stealing yesterday, left
town last night, and soon after a
report was circulated that he had
committed murder some time ago near
Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. Ii seems that
gentleman here had seen an account OF
the murder near Mt Pleasant, and from
the description OF the murderer he
thought it not unlikely that Barbour
was the man, and accordingly wrote 10
the sheriff OF Mt. Pleasant informing
him that we had a man in Jail here that
had the appearance Of being the man
said sheriff desired 10 see, but received
no reply until last evening about 9
o clock, when dispatch came TO hold
Barbour, which was just an hour too
late to be Of service, but nevertheless
three gentlemen started in pursuit this
morning, and We are informed that they
have overtaken their man, and now
have him in custody at Portland, Jefer-
son county, Ohio. We understand that
a reward OF 500 is offered.
The cantata Of Queen Easter was sue
cessfully repeated last night to a fair su-
dience. The weather was exceedingly
inclement, and many were prevented
from attending. The people were again
delighted, and speak in high terms OF
the performance.

The Chili-Peruvian War.

PANAMA, December 1.-THE Peru
vian torpedo boat, detained by the gov
ernment as contraband OF war, has at
last sailed for Peru, flying the Hawaiian
flag and with license from the Hawaiian
consul. The Peruvians place great re-
lance in the torpedo service which they
are now organizing. They succeeded in
landing at Arica recently, 600 men,
100000 cartridges and twelve krupp
field pieces. About $50 allies and
three hundred Chilians were killed at
Pisagua. The early retreat OF the allies
is attributed TO the running out OF am
munition ard the supply OF cartridges
not being fitted for the rifles in use. The
town, however, had been almost ruined
by Chilian shells. Before landing they
had driven he.position commanding the
town. RumOrs are atloat concerning
the manner in which the wounded allies
were treated by the Chilians, and re-
specting the cruel Outrages on the wo-
men found in the place.
The Star and Herald, of Panama, says:
Just before the sailing OF the steamer
Pavta from Callos the following tele-
gram was received by the President
from General Prado: The Chilians have
been driven back in Santa Catalina and
Dolores by General Brundeau, and Daga
cuts off their retreat in Fara. The fight
still continues in San Antonio. The eX-
citement was intense, ahd everyone was
rejoicing in Lima.
On the arrival OF the Payta at Payta
the official telegram was confirmed,
and private one had been received an
nouncing the defeat OF the Chilians with
heavy losses, but adding, curious cir
cumstance that they had resumed their
old position. A Lima letter from a
trustworthy source says that Lima is all
in trouble about the reported detection
of the Bolivians. General Daga march
ed to attack the Chilian flank with $500
men; got half way from africa, halted,
hesitated and turned back to africa, de-
claring he feared a revolution in La Paz.
Gen. Prado in the hope OF yet saving
the alliance gave orders to Gen. Brun-
deau to advance and attack the Chilians
at the head of the allied army of 1000
Bolivans and 5000 Peruvians. After
the affair of Pisaqua the Bolivian battal-
ions dispersed and most Of them appear
TO have gone home. Out ofjust 400 men
in the Independence battalion, only 50
mustered after the fight, and yet but a
small number were killed. lqnique is
blockaded and the cable is out. 49,
