Boston Transcript

No other term fifty characterizes the pro-
ceedings in Maine whereby will be brought in
to being fraudulent Legislature, previously
rejected at the polls. The men concerned in
this violation of Republican ideas disfranchised
some of the principal towns and cities OF the
State without the slightest scruple, and on the
most frivolous technical grounds, the end be-
ing simply retaining power another year. II
this plot fail not, it will be the most unparal
leled outrage upon popular rights since the
Federal Constitution was ratified.
Undeniably the actors in this scheme were
the custodians of the returns of the last Sep
tember election, but it has always been held
that these certificates should never be wrested
to the harm OF public right. The Governor
and Council have heretofore allowed abundant
time for their inspection and to correct infor-
malities. Not so this year, except to one party.
Who will tell how many Democratic errors
have been set right, while the Republicans
had no means of knowing as to the returns
from the places in which they had majority?
The secrecy in this matter looks like conspira-
CIV. The work has been done thoroughly Not
only Republicans are counted out, but Fusion
lists are counted in, which goes still further to
Seventeen Representatives have been changed
from Republican to Fusion. That tells the
story of the determined purpose to seize the
State Government. A parallel is attempted
between these acts aud those of the Louisiana
Returning Board. There is an essential differ
ence. The Maine Governof and Council vir-
tually defy the popular will, while the Re
turning board was established with the view of
preventing that will being stitied by fraud and
Violence, and the latter pertenaciously claimed,
as the Governor and Council cannot, that its
course was dictated by an honest intention to
give effect to the voice of the people.
This quas-legal overthrow of popular rights
in Maine, which has all the effect of the pro-
nunciamento of a successful Mexican general,
must not be allowed to grow into q precedent,
or the days of the republic are numbered. The
anarshy instituted there under regular forms
will become the mode in this country, until
elections are something worse than farces. IL
will not escape the attention of the masses that
the Maine outrage reflects the same spirit that
in the Senate of the United States would ouSt
kellogg, after his case had been definitely
passed upon by the body Of which he .y'i,,. was
member. The men who can do these things
will not stick at anything to carry out their
plans Our citizens should awaken to the

The Action of the Canvasslng
BOARD

Our telegraphic dispatches from the State
Capital tell the story of the action of the
Governor and Council SO fully and clearly
that they need no gloss. Thieves dialect is
not easy 70 read unless one has the key to
it. That key the Council gives, Having no
further use for it, now the lock is broken
Stated in that honest language, plain En-
glish, certificates have been given to eight
men who were not elected to the Senate and
seventeen men who were not elected to the
House, and refused to twelve men who were
elected to the House.
The Councillors claim that they have been
acting under the forms of law. 1t may be
so, though eminent legal authorities dispute
it. But this much is certain; the canvass
ing board, according to its own showing, has
exercised its discretionary powers, not to
further the popular will, but to defeat it.
1t does not claim that the men to whom it
refuses to give certificates did not receive
majority of the votes cast. 1t only claims
that the returns of the votes were irregular; !;
and by disregarding statute that in its
presumption it declares unconstitutional, it
is enabled to carry out its purpose of revers-
ing the result of the September election.
The people who make laws and choose their
executors will call these unworthy stewards
to an account of the trust they have be-
trayed.

A SUCCESSFUL CONSPIRACY.

The Governor and Council of Maine are to
carry out to-day the foolish and outrageous
scheme prepared for them by Mr.. Pillsbury
The voters of the State, at legal elections, IN
which a larger number of them than ever be-
fore, with single exception, participates
made choice of Legislature in which the he
publicans were in majority in both branches
1t was not small majority either. In either
house the Republicans were to the combined
opposition as three to two. On joint ballot
there would have been 1863 Republicans and
rs Democrats and Greenbackers. The manip-
ulation of the returns results in the extinction
of the majority in both branches. AS for the
