MAINE MANAGES.
The Republicans Of the Pine Tree State
Still on Their Ears.
REPUBLICANS PEACEFUL BUT INDIGNANT.


though the feeling was very intense, the ordi
nary quiet prevailed on Friday and all business
proceeded usual. The best citizens express
great indignation ut the moving of arm!
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 tho Oldtown company
from the arnory by 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 Of
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 THE NIUsKETs.
At meeting of the citizens executive COM
mittee, last evening, the following was
adopted
TO tho 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

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 armed camp. We,
therefore, feel assured that there is no dispo-
sition on the part Of the people to resist the
execution of any order lawfully given by the
Governor for the removal from city of any
property belonging to the State. [Signcd.

FERENCE TO THE SUPREME COURT.
Petitions signed by several leading citizens,
including a 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: bitter feeling exists and chances of
trouble seem to increase rather than diminish.
The governors letter t. ex-senator Morrill,
does not mean much Us at first it may ap-
pear to. He expresses Willingness to refer
points that have not already been adiudicated
upon, but it is understood he believes these
points are extremely few and that he has de-
csion of the court to back nearly every case.
This leaves tho hope for peaceful settlement
through the Morrill, plan decidedly faint
one, though the attempt was a credtablc one.
1t looks now as If nothing could prevent
trouble on the assembling of the legislature,
but square backdown the part of the Flu
sionists, and how much chance there is of
this, one man CON judge as well 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 rcassuring, 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-
celent prospect of mob violence tonight, but
it may be prevented. The meetings of both
parties tonight will be numerous, and few of
the speeches will be conducive to peace. To-
morr.,w's sermons will be more warike vet.
Things decidedly hot considering the
mercury IS below in the middle of the
forenoon.
POLITICAL PREACHERS.
PORTLAND, Dec. 27.-The principal Protestant
clergymen of Portland have united in q petition
to the government to ask the advice of the s,1-
preme court. Rev. DR.. Hill and Bishop Medley
were among the signers.
ALL QUIET.
BANGOR, Dec. 27.-Nothing new of import.
ance To-Day. Quiet and orderly. The report
that the Republicans were forming secret mill.
tary associations with threats to sieze the arms

thority of the best informed citizens. There
has been no purpose to trouble the arsenal OF
any other property of the State.
