THE MAINE TROUBLES.

The Democrats still Persist In Their
Unlawful and Unconstitutional Pro.
Eramme.
August, Me. Dec. 2.-The governor and
council have been IN session ali the morn.
ing and until ! o'clock, when they adjourned.
They Allowed the returns Of the county Of
fcers to be examined by the senator's aud
representatives elect or their attorneys, but
refused to exhibit the returns of votes on
senators and representatives. Just before
adjournment they declined, - at present
advised, to exhibit the returns of senators
and representatives, IS they have no power
under the constitution to alter the correct,
or substitute returns, and therefore it would
be no use to exhibit them.
When the final answer from the governor
was received, stating that no one could be
permitted under any circumstances to in
spect the returns of the election of senators
and Representatives, a long protest was for.
warded the governor and council by the
members elect, concluding as follows:
"Your honorable board will permit the
undereiEned to remark that they never
grounded their right to inspect the returns
on the act of 1877 alone, which You now de-
clare unconstitutional, for the right they
are Oemoluluk 10 Oue uniformly enjoyed by
their p~re6eeessors from the foundation ef
the government, and now for the first limo
denied. The undersigned, therefore, can.
not see how the right enjoyed in this state
under the constitution, and never hitherto
withheld, could be affected by the constitu.
%tionality of the statute referred to. They
are especially unable to zee how the execu.
tive department of the government can Get
aside the plain and direct language Of the
statute. Your honorable board will permit
the undersigned to remark that YOU enjoy
the distinction Of being the first governor
and council who have directly assumed the
duty ofthe judicial department Of our eov.
eminent. The undesiRned protest against
the arrogant and Unauthorized assumption
Of power, the unprecedented destruction OF
rights, the bold u~surpation of judicial fonc-
tions, the ~ecandalous secreting of the public
records hitherto open TO honest inspection,
which have distinguished the course Of youl
honorable board in all matters herein sub.
mitted for your consideration"
1t 10 understood the republican senators
and representatives will now resort 70 iudi.
cial proceedings and will make no f1rthe,
peEsooal edort With he govssnos and cooe-
J Gil to procure access TO the returns.

Card from the Mayor of Jackson.
JACKSON 0. JUNE 10, 1879.

JACKSON 0. JUNE 10, 1879.
To the Editor of the Standard:
DEAR SIR: Permit me through the co..
umns ofyour paper to say few words with
reference to the very disgraceful conduct
of our Steam Fire Company, or some of
its members, on last Friday Dune 6th.)
at which time they were called out for
the purpose of entertaining our visiting
eighbors-the Athens excursionists,
with an exhibition Of the company's skill
%, and the fine qualities of the engine.
| was absent from home at the time but
from what l have been able to learn
since my return, those people were en-
r5ained-with a vengence.
Now what l desire to say is, on behalf
of all the good citizens and officers of the
village of Jackson, to assure those peo-
pie that the cowardly and disgraceful
conduct of some of the members of said
company on that occasion, is universally
condemned, and that no pains will be
spared to bring the guilty parties to jus
tice. The council, at their meeting last
evening, to man, condemned the out
rage, and unanimously passed resolu-
tion of investigation, to ascertain the
guilty party or parties, and prefer charges
against them, to the end that the punish
ment they SO richly deserve, may be
meted out to them.
l ask the people of Athens to withhold
their verdict in this matter until the cit
liens of Jackson have had an opportuni-
ty to set themselves Alright as to this dis
graceful affair.
Athens papers please copy.
G. G. JAMES, Mayor.

The Athens pic mic party at his place
on last Friday numbered some $50.
Among them were Prof. Scott, President
of the Ohio University, one or two of the
other Professors, the minister of the M.
E. Church at Athens, the Presiding G
Elder of the district, and other men Of
note, and many Sunday School teachers
and pupils.
They went to David's Grove, and
many of the citizens of Jackson, and S.
S. children went there and good time
was had, with the exception that a
threatened rain caused an uneasiness
most of the day.
At23 in the afternoon they all came to
the Court House and had few very
short speeches from A. W. Long, D.
Mackley, John T. Moore and Mr.. Jones
of Athens. Then the steam fire engine
was brought out and placed at the cis-
tern in front of the Court House and
threw two streams of water for time.
At A o'clock the train left for Athens.

Family Medicines.

Every family should always have GER
tain remedies in the house to meet the
common accidents or emergencies which
may occur at any time. An emetic
promptly administered has often saved a
life which would have been lost if left to
the delay of calling physician. A med

cure rheumatism, neuralgia, headache

medicines, which N lles it the most ex-
cellent of all for family use.

AS usual, there is muttering and
growing about some of the awards made
by the adjudicators at the Festival last
week. That all the awards of prizes
were made according to the merit of the
performances of the competitors, no one
will for a moment claim When in a
single instance prize is awarded for fun,
or sympathy, or pity, or charity, or ia,
voritsm, then all confidence is lost, and
the great annual meetings of the Lit
erary Association will go like the Fairs,
which from year to year gave premiums
to certain parties for the same old patch
work quilt, and the same squash and
