cation. Sixteen witnesses were examined. Follow
ing is the report of the jury, rendered by Hon. Ru-
fus P. Tapley, foreman:
The Jury find that on the afternoon of Dec. 10,

Jurors is unknown and who appeared to be about
20 years of age, came to the depoto the P S. q p.
r. r. Co., in Saco, exhibiting evident signs of in
sanity, and expressing design of going to Ports

known man without provocaton attacked Knowles

with an iron fire poker with the declared intention

a meeting held this evening, were unanimously of
the opinion that while this upraisng was but a
natural expression of the Indignation of our citizens
vet that if the Governor shall fit TO persist in
this remarkable and alarming purpose of getting
munitions Of war for against the people the re-
sponbility therefor may well be lett upon him, and
by which they would incur any degree of response
bility for the deplorable consequences that may
armed camp. We therefore feel assured that there
is no dispoFi ion the part of people to resist
the execution of any order lawfully issued by the
Governor the removal from our city of any prop
erty belong. to the State

SATURDAY MORNING, DEENBER "a.


measures like that which provoked the re-
gretable outbreak al Bangor
The purpose of the Governor and his adj
visors is plain. They perceive the grave po-
litical blunder they made in canvassing the
returns. Their only hope now is TO excite
their indignant and defrauded opponents to
acts of violence which viii work a change
in public sentiment aud afford the conspira-
tors chance to appear before he country
as the defenders Of order and the upholders
of constitutional government against the
lawlessness of a mob. That opportunity the
Republicans of Maine must not give to these
desperate and unscrupuloua men. No VIC
lent resistance TO executive usurpation must
be permitted. The Republican members
of the Legislature will take all lawful
steps to secure the seats of which they
have unjustly and unlawfuliy been de-
prived But they will take 10 other steps.
1t is true that some Republicans have con-
demned in unmeastred language the wrong
put upon the State and have spoken Of vio-
lent resistance to its consummation. 1t was
only natural that in the first hot fuss of in
dignation many things should be said
that men in cooler moods and callner
times would not repeat. But these
have been the utlerances Of indiVid-
uals. and for them the law-abding people
of Maine are not to be held responsible.
The appeal TO arms is an extreme resort,
only to be entertained wheh all other means
of redress have failed. Governor Garcelon
seems minded to make the appeal now. But
the Republicans Of this State prefer to trust
their cause to the protection of the laws and
of the people who make and unmake them.
When these resources are exhausted it is
time to talk of arsher remedies
