REPUBLICANS PEACEFUL BUT INDIGNANT.
Boston, Dec 27.-The following was received
from Bangor at 3 o'clock this morning: Al
though the feeling was very intense, the ordi-
nary quiet prevailed Friday and all business
proceeded as usual. The best citizens express
great indignation at the moving OF Z: arms
through the streets on Christmas day: but not
the slightest tendency to disorder Of! any
kind was manifested. News Of the clandestine
removal of the rifles of the Oldtown company
from the armory bv the fusionists, last night,
caused much comment and comparison with
the lack of any disposition by the Republicans
here to disturb the munitions at the arsenal or
armory. Lieut. Col. Daniel White, of this
CITY, who succeeded to the command of the
State militia by the resignation OF Col. Mat
tocks, has issued circulars to different COM
panies, expressing the hope that the present
troubles will be peacefully settled and asking
for reports of membership, arms, etc.
AFRAID OF THE MUsKETs.
At a meeting Of the citizens executive COM
mittee, last evening, the following was
adopted:
To the public: In view of the spontaneous
uprising of our citizens at the sight of arms
and ammunition transferred through our
street on Christmas day, stealthily and without
written authority, for the purpose on behalf OF
the governor of the State of the contamination
by force Of the threatened crime against the
decision of the majority, az expressed at the
polls the undersigned an executive committee
of citizens, at Il meeting held this evening,
were unanimously Of the opinion, that while
the uprising was but natural expression of
the Indignation of our citizens, yet if our gov
ernor shall sec tit to persist in this markable
and alarming purpose OF , gathering
munitions of war for use against the people,
the responsibility may we'll be left upon him,
and the law abiding citizens of Bangor will do
nothing by which they would incur any degree
of responsibility for the deplorable conse-
quences which may ensue from turning the
capital of the State into an armed camp "e
therefore, feel assured that there IS no dlspo-
sition on the part of the people to resist the
execution of any order lawfully given by the
Governor for the removal from our city of any
property belonging to the State. Signed.

REFERENCE TO THE SUPREME COURT.
Petitions signed by several leading citizens
including number Of the most prominent
Democrats of the city, will be forwarded to the
Governor, arguing the propriety of complying
with the proposition of Mr.. Morrill, for refer
ence Of the questions involved in the counting
of the returns to the supreme court
TROUBLE INCREASING.
An Augusta, Maine, special to the Herald
says: A bitter feeling exists and chances of
trouble seem to increase rather than diminish.
The governors letter t. ex-senator Morrill,
does not mean SO much as at first it may ap-
pear to. He expresses willingness to refer
points that have not already been adjudicated
hut ha hall fbaso
points extremely few and that he has de-
cision of the court to back nearly every CASE
This leaves the hope for peaceful settlement
through the Morrill, plan decidedly faint
one, though the attempt was cseditable one
1t looks now If nothing could prevent
trouble on the assem- bling of the legislature,
but square backdown on the part of the Flu
sionists, and how much chance there is of
this, one man can judge as we'll as another.
Men who do not encourage violence openly do
not hesitate to say they fear and expect it.
REPUBLICAN cRoAKERs.
Congressman Frye's speech last night was
not reassuring, and Congressman Reed thinks
blood will be shed before the trouble is over.
The excitement in the country towns and vii
lagos grows more rapidly than in the cities even.
In one of them it is understood there is an ex
cellent prospect of mob violence tonight, but
it may be prevented. The meetings of both
parties tonight will be numerous, aud few of
the speeches will be conducive to peace. To-
morrnw's sermons will be more warlike yet.
Things are decidedly hot, considering the
mercury is below zero in the middle of the
forenoon.
POLITICAL PREACHERS.
PORTLAND, Dec. 27.-The principal Protestant
clergymen of Portland have united in petition
to the government to ask the advice of the su-
preme court. Rev. Dr. Hill and Bishop Neeley
were among the signers.
ALL QUIET.
BANGOR, Dec 27.-Nothing new of import
ance to-day. Quiet and orderly. The report
that the Republicans we're forming secret mill
in the States arsenal is contradicted au-
thority of the best informed citizens. There
has been no purpose to trouble the arsenal or
any other property of the State.
MORE INDIGNATION.
VAUDEVILLE, Me-, Dec. 27.-An indignation
meeting was held here tonight The usual
speeches made and resolutions passed. The
following resolutions were adopted:
ftesotued, That we citizens of the town of
Fairfield believe the governor and council have
canvassed the election returns in strict accord
with the constitution and laws of the State,
and that they are entitled to our respect and
esteem for so faithfully performing their du-
ties, ana they shall have our support and SER
vices IN whatever capacity they may be needed
SO long az they pursue a course in harmony
with the laws and constitution.
Resolvea, That we believe the late treason
able meetings held by the Republican party
throughout the State is part of the programme
OF a few unscrupulous partisans to create
anger, hatred and strife to cover up their
wrong doing, making enemies where friend
