MAINE ELECTION RETURNS.

AUGUSTA. Dec. IL. 1879.
The Mime Standard. the democratic organ Of the
State government. to-day announces. in semi
official tone, that the returns from Portland Lewis
ton, Saco. Augusta. Hallowel. Bath and Rockland,
for Representatives all have technical defect,
and that the Governor aud Council will reject them
all. These cities elected fifteen republican Repre-
sentatives The most common defect alleged is that
the returns signed by three Aldermen instead Of
four. III Portland the defect in using the word
'scattering." Belfast is also understood to be
among the disfranchised cities the ground that
Dr. Brooks the Representativeelect. is examining
surgeon of pensioners and is thus ineligible. The
law prohibits the Governor and Council from
taking into account the question of eligibility
OF Senators and Representatives-elect, but 1t
Is understood that the Governor and Council
adjudge this law also to be unconstitutional
anu not TO be obeyed. Benton Kennebec county, is
included among the places where it Is alleged the
returns clandestinely changed Charles u.
Rounds, who made the charge of Illegal amendment
OF returns was before the Governor and Council
to-day in reference to the returns for county officers
from Washington county. hounds is candidate
A somewhat angry colloquy ensued between tho
Governor and Mr.. Rounds III regard to the charges.
Mr.. Rounds stated that he mad come there to in
spect returns for county officers by specific ap
pointient, and that he would be ready TO proceed
with the charges preferred by him whenever the
Governor and Council should order the investigation
tor which he had asked.
Andrew Hawes, having been refused the privilege
OF correcting informaities in the returns for Cum
berand couaty addressed communication to the
Governor and Council to-day, saying that he be-
leyrs there certain in the official returns
OF votes from Cumberland county which an express
statute of the Public Laws of 1877 gives him the
right correct by official records. copies OF which
he has secured and now holds for that purpose. He
also informed that the Board declines to allow any
such corrections to be made on the ground that the
statute is unconstitutional applied to the election
OF Senators and Representatives; that the time
within which such corrections be made
Will expire with the 18th inst when certificates Of
eecton must be issued; that there is legal
method open to him in which he can obtain the
opiuion of the Supreme Court OF this State upon
the constitutionality OF the law aforesaid before
that time, but the Governor and Council. on
either side of them. can require the opinion of
the supreme Court on that point at once, by pro-
vision of the constitution; wherefore the petitioner
prays that the opinion Of the Justices OF the Su-
prcne Judicial Court of the state may be at once
required and obtained whether the whole or any
part the statute of 1877 is unconstitutional IL
any part, what part.

Robert Jaffray, prominent merchant. and one Of
them was convicted aud sentenced to two years i'm
prisonmept In the Central Prison. Since then Mrs.
Deal the mother OF the boys. has been very active
in her endeavors to obtain the release Of her son,
and it Is hipted that some political motive under
lies the whole affair. Last night Mrs. Deal left home
to visit Q friend, and within fow yards of her
residence q heavy shawl thrown
her head and wrapped tightly about her
body, pinioning her arms to her sides. and
lifted into buggy. From sweet.
sickly smell that cxhaled from the shawl she knew
that she being choroformcd. and soon became
unconscious. When she recovered consciousness
she found herself in field in suburb of the city
with man and woman, or, ns she suspects, q man
dressed in female attire Her wrists fastened
together with n rope. and she was being dragged
along The night air revived her. and she screamed
and struggled with her captors. She succeeded in
breaking from them and freeing her hands. She
ran screaming toward house ut the end OF the field,
but she was overtaken aud desperate struggle en-
sued In which every article OF dress torn off
Mrs. Deal except her pettcoat and underclothing.
She succeeded in again escaping and ran nearly
naked toward the house, when her cries attracted
attention and her captors fed She was attended to,
and after her recovery was driven home. This
ing she il under Of medical men and the il
