Lc,, Of the ornament, and they that turn
r.any to righteousness rs the stars forever

sisted in right doing and thinking. which
come only by conformity TO God through

assured the Governor that all needed pre-

GENERAL BUFFERS VIEWS OF THE SITUATION.
BosIoN, December 2a.-GeneTal 3. F.
Butler bias stated to reporter bis views on
the situation in Maine. He contradlcts the
statement that he has. given Governor Gar
celon and the Council legal advice on the
course they had taken. He does not see
how The Governor and Council could have
acted otherwise than they have and strictly
followed The Constitution and law. The
Governor is net judge. General Butler
ls reported As having said -. Nor, are he
and the Council a returning board, but SIM
ply canvsssinS board. They are TO
ascertain who appear to be elected
from the returns certified 10 them I'm.
der the provisions Of the Constitution
and laws. Whether the defects dis
covered are amendabIe or rnamendable
under the laws, don't know. Most Of them
would seem TO be amendable by the final
iudgc-the Legislature" General Butler
thinks the only way for the Republicans TO
meet the situation is by legal, constitutional
means. In response to question as to
whether the Maine Legislature can choose
seven presidential electors next year, Gene
raj Butter said .'Certanlv. That is provided
for in the Con ,titution OF the Uated States,
which says electors are to be chosen in any
way the Legislature may appoint"
General Butler don't believe there will be
any sighting in Mime. He thinks there Is
too much common sense. ".7

4 NARROW ESCAPE FROM LYNCHING.-
Cincinnati, December 2S.-A dispatch from
Springfield, Mo., says on Friday night a
stranger, named John Vaughan, entered
the saloon OF Herman Roberts and threw
dice with Carson Applcby for drinks. Not
having money to pay therefor, he became
involved in a quarrel with Roberts. and,
while the latter was shutting the front door,
Vaughan drew pistol and shot him. The
bal! entered ut the base OF the spinal column
and cymc ont in the eforepart Of the thigh,
aud Roberts died IN few minutes.
Vaughan then turned on Appleby, who
hastily re,reated through the rear door, and
Vaughan, stepping over the dead body, fed
through the front door into the brush. A
party OF mounted men started in pursuit.
and captured the murderer. After the in
quest yesterday the officers had great diff
Guilty in protecting Vaughan from lynching.
80 threatening were the menaces against his
life that one officer declined to ride in the
hack with the prisoner, and efforts were
made to keep Sheriff Potter and Constable
Savage from so doing. They persisted,
however, and, amid Il display OF reyolrers
and the rope procured for bis execution.
Vaughan was driven of and lodged in jail.
