THE REMOVAL OF ARMS.
BANGOR, Me-, Dec. 27.-Lieutenant Miles.
commanding the Hersey light infantry, makes
q statement that he removed the arms of the
company from the armory to his residence for
safe keeping, Thursday night, by order of Ma
jor Folsom and Station House Clerk French.
Major Folsom is a townsman and political
friend OF Smith, the fusionist candidate for
Governor, and Is next in rank below Col: Dan
iel White, commanding the regiment of militia.
Although the removal of arms was
decided upon in the city Thursday
afternoon, in view of the excitement here, as
Lieut.. Miles states, no consultation was held
with Col. White, who was easily accessible, but
the action was taken on orders of the clerk,
who is not believed to have any authority to
direct the movements of the militia. All mill
tary men admit that the serious responsibilities
of directing warIlke operations in time of
peace have been most carelessly and irregularly
exercised in all the transactions in this vicinity

Boston, Dec. PA correspondent of the
Herald telegraphs from Augusta that he has
met one of the Republican Congressman from
the State and had some conversation with him
on affairs in the State, and what the future
was to bring with 1T. He declared himself un-
able to foretell, but said be should be grati-
fled, not to say surprised if settlement was
very much feared. He did not think any vio-
lent or radical talk would have much to do in
increasing the popular sentiment
All that was needed to enrage any honest citi-
zen was to read an account of what the governor
and council have done. That would make any
mans blood boil. He endorsed the statement
If another Congressman that he didn't believe
eight such scoundrels could be found outside
of State prison es those who had perpetrated
this outrage. This talk shows how deep the
prevailing resentment is against the authori-
ties. The Congressman went on to declare
that no excuse would he made for the crime
