expect that Governor Garcelon will back down from
the position he has taken in maintaining the consti-
tuition? he asked. If they do they are mistaken.
Do they expect if they should carry out their in
cendiary threats and precptate a civil that he
will be found firm in welding tho forces at his
command to put down rebellion and preserve the
government from mob rule? II tsey do they

your acts; but IL the danger comes be prepared.

The republicans do not intend to fights

get of all the State machinery and report their
niquities to the people. That's the real purpose of

woman the State Is fully aware.

IRON OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON. Dec %. 1879.
The President expressed himself very freely to-day
to member Of the House in regard to the situation
in Maine. He said he did not think that matters
would progress far enough to bring up the question
of the republicans setting up second Legis-
lature. Ho thought that the republican minority
acting in accord with those republicans who
have been defrauded Of their certificates
had it in their power to prevent the democrats from
organizing Legislature upon the basis determined
upon by Governor Garcelon and his council. He
thought that II tho minority should stand together
and prevent any business from being transacted
until the right OF members elect to their seats were
settled and should in the meantime make full show
ing of the merits in each that the democrats Of
Maine and those OF the country well would re-
fuse to sustain the acts Of the Governor. He did
not believe that the democratic press would long
sustain Governor Garcelon that the democratic
leaders would be willing to have his mistake carried
into the Presidential campaign with their indorse-
