tone, that the returns from Portland. Lewis.
ton, saco, Augusta, Hsllowell, Bath and
Rockford, for representatives, all have some
technical defect, and that the governor and
council will reject them all. These cities
elected fifteen republican representatives.
The most common defect alleged is that the
returns were signed by three aldermen, in.
stead OF four. In Portland the defect was in
using the word scattering. Belfast is also
understood to be among the defrauchised
cities on the ground that DR.. Brooks rep.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLAN.

HilPs committee. which went TO Louisiana
to investigate Senator Kellogg, writes 10 a
paper in Georgia, Of which he is editor.
giving a resume Of the investigation, and
developing what is undoubtedly the demo.
cratic plan. He says: "To most Of tho:e
who have followed the progress Of the in
vestigation in Washington and New Orleans,
two things will appear: First, that the
pretended legislature which elected Kellogg
TO the United States senate did not have q
legal quorum, and that kellogg resorted to
open and indiscriuinate corruption TO secure
the vote of this illegal body !; aud, second.
that Judge Spofford himself was not legally
chosen United States senator from Louisiana.
Therefore, we can see but one course for the
senate to pursue in the determination of
this question, and that is to say that neither
sitting member nor contestant was legally
elected and declare the seat vacant. This
can be speedily filled by the new legislature
Of Louisiana, and then the state will once
more have two legally chosen sena!ors.n

A Bad Sooop-up.
p. NJ. CLARK.

The G. o. DIS of Tionesla went to
Tylersburg OF Saturday the 9th, inst. 4,
to play the return game of base ball
with the ballists Of that place, and
were badly scooped-up. The day was
a pleasant one, and on arriving there
little before noon our boys were soon
seated and partaking of an excellent
dinner at the old Culver House, kept
by DR.. Mccormick. The game was
called about half-past one o'clock with
Tionesta at the bats; Tylersburg
having won the toss and choosing the
field. 1t was evident from the be-
ginning that our boys were doomed to
defeat, and this fact being uppermost
in their minds they played very loose
and with no apparent animation ;
while the Tylersburg boys were full of
life, and determined to win the game.
In Justice to the Tionesta bows we
must say that they were not in fit
condition to play ball, the most of
them not having had particle OF
sleep the night before, having attended
the dance at the Lawrence House
However, be this as il may, they
would probably have been beaten
"alle samee," but perhaps not quite
so badly. They were we'll received
by the 1ylersburg boys, for which
they feel gratifed and return many
thanks. We append the score, which
is AS follows:
