'sWhether our Maine returning board
governor and councill intend to follow the
brilliant example of their Louisiana proto-
type, remains to be seen. There are, how
ever, rumors in the air that it meditates
doing so, and proposes to accomplish its
coqp Getdt by Withholding certificates from
enough Democratic and Greenback mem
bers elect to the Legislature, to give the Re-
publicans the House in the organization,
and then to elect Connor and fill the State
offices before the contested seats in the
House are settled.-Maine Standard, Oct.
IL, 1878.
The Portland daily press., 1879-12-16
A Stolen State.

If the dispatches from Augusta can be
believed, and we have no reason to distrust
the authenticity of the information they
bring, the Governor and his Council have
determined to carry out the plan they have
so | ing been accused of meditating, and
against the clearly expressed will OF the
voters of Maine, count out enough Repub-
lican Senators and Representatives-elect and
count in enough defeated fusion candidates
to give the control of the Legislature to the
Democratic -Greenback combination. The
result has been apprehended by all intelli-
gent men in the State for weeks. 1t was
foreshadowed in the declarations made by the
chairman of the Democratic State Committee
Immediately after the September election
and before the existence of informalities IL
the returns could have by any possibility
been ascertained, and has been persistently
apologized for by the fusion press ever since
it was suggested. 1t is the outcome OF a
conspiracy deliberately entered into by the
the fusion leaders to defeat the will of the
people as to the choice of their Senators and
Representatives.
The action of the Governor and Council
is so obvious a usurpation of power, so pal
pably unfair and disreputable a proceeding,
that comment and censure cannot empha-
sise the wrong done. The crime carries its
own condemnation. The only question is as
to the remedy. The people who have been
defrauded will, we confidently believe, as
sert their rights and punish the wrong-doers
at the first opportunity which is legally af-
forded,-and that, apparently, is at the
I ballot-box. Other means, which SAVIOR
more or less of disturbance of public quiet,
are suggested, and may be resorted to. But
we trust not. There are wrongful acts
which the laws, il general so comprehensive
and equitable, do not reach; and the
remedy is then with the people who
made the laws, and for whose pro-
lection and benefit they are framed.
The Republican party, which is the out
growth of the best sentiment and highest
political aspiration of the country, can safe
ly trust now to the people who have trusted
it so long; and it appeals to them to express
through the ordinary channels, their OPINION
of the outrage perpetrated upon them. 1t
grievance is their wrong. The righteous
indignation of those who have been de-
frauded will find voice in indignant protest
and strong censure. But there will be no
dual Legislature in this State. We can afford
to suffer the perpetration of wrong better
than we can to take extraordinary measures
for its correction; for we have an appeal to
the court of last resort in this country, the
people at the polls. That appeal we take.
And we confidently believe that Maine will
give a larger Republican majority next
September than it has ever given in its
history. The Governor and his Council if
not our missionaries will be our dreadful
examples, and be held up to shame at every
polling place in The State.

NEPoTIsM seems to be weakness of the
Democratic Senators nowadays: Mr.. Voor-
hees has nephew, a clerk of the library
committee, and son on the House rolls at
$1,000. A son of Johnston, of Virginia, is
clerk of the committee on agriculture, and a
nephew is on the rolls of the Secretary's
Office at $2200 Mr. Vance has son who is
clerk of the committee on enrolled bills
Withers has son-in-law clerk of the pension
committee A son of Wallace is clerk of the
committee on the revision OF the laws. A
son of Eaton is clerk of the foreign relations
committee. A son-in-law of Macdonald is
clerk Of the public lands committee. Nor
gan has two committees, namely, rules and
the election of President and Vice President.
His son is clerk of the first, and a cousin is
clerk of the second. Mr.. Salisbury has ap-
pointed nephew clerk of the committee on
privileges and elections. The other Sena-
tors have not yet been heard from.

THE GREAT PAIN RELIEVING and
curative remedies have already worked their
way into every hamlet where the English Ian
guage is spoken. That the reputation OF and
demand for such remedies as these are,
should extend and increase, could not be other
wise. THERE is NO PAIN, soreness or
swelling which they will not alleviate. There
are but exceptional cases of constitutional
humors and distorted joints, which they do not
cure, and none they will not benefit. Ihey
are SOOTHING, absorbing and emollent.
They EXTRACT THE PAIN from and heal
burns and scalds without scars For RHEU-
MATIC AFFECTIONS, pains in the back,
stiff Joints wounds, strains and eruptions, they
act with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. These
preparations are of two kinds, the FAMILY
and the ANIMAL Liniments. Being unlver-
sally adapted to the external ailments OF man
and beast, the name of the HALF-HORSE
and HALF-MAN Centaurs was naturally at
tached to them. They perform cures never be-
ore effected by any remedy. Undoubtedly
more Of them are sold than of all other lnl-
ments ointments, oils, embrocations, plasters
and so-called pain-kilers combined.

matism, Sciatica Lumbago and Tic doul-

The Democrats are scheming des-
perately for an extra session. There
is no other reason why they should
be so precipite in demanding the
repeal of the test oath laws at this
session of congress, when they are
so soon going to have majority in
both houses, and can enact or repeal
what laws they please. The law
can not do their friends in the south
any material injury in the few
months to elapse till next December.
But the Republicans in the senate
canuot cannot consistently consent
to the repeal of this law, and will re-
fuse to pass an appropriation bill to
which it is attached as an extra Sec
ton. The Democrats Of the house
know this and propose to defeat the
appropriation bills this year as they
defeated them two years ago by
loading them down with party meas
ures. They want an extra session to
make political capital; to keep pos
session Of a conspicuous platform.
from which to make stump speeches;
to seize the spoils of petty offices in
the senate; to annoy the administra-
ton and to carry on intrigues foc
the next presidency. The vote on
the test oath repeal bill Yesterday in
dicates that they will have the full
party strength to carry out their
scheme. But if President Hayes in
tentions are correctly represented,
they will gain little by the maneu-
vre, as the extra session made neces-
sary by the failure of the app-opria-
ton bill will not be called u.i,il late
in the fall Pi-Press.
