IN EDISON'S LABORATORY.
Dtspatch to Cincinnati ENQUIRER. -'-t


NEW YORK, Jan. q = The present
condition Of things in Edison's laboratory is
the same as for a fortnight back. The slow
construction Of the lamps and the lack of
enough generating machines, particularly
the latter, put off the general illumination Of
the place. The only generating machine in
operation feeds the sixty lamps that Edison
keeps almost continually burning. As
fast as new lamps are made he lights
them. He desires to show that with
his eighty horsepower engine and twenty
generators he can light and keep going 500
lamps He has put up posts all over the
town, and has strung wires to them and into
the houses, and as fast as lamps are com
pleted he will light them The illumination
Of Menlo Park will, therefore, be a thing Of
gradual degree; but by another week. it Is
more than probable that he will have 800
lamps IN full blast: For all practical exhibit
is had every night He has shown that one
generator will light sixty la1nps with fame
that does not flicker and .pulsate, or grow
dim or bright in proportion to the number
bu1ns as brightly as did tie iirst one. 10
put his 500 lamps IN operation, he has only to
connect more generators. =.
Those who go to see the process are first

ANOTHER SPECIMEN OF H1s spEC1OU5 PLEAD
ING. 49,
WArEHvlELE: Me-, Jan. 3.-The Town
Hall was 6]let. to It's utmost capacity at the
stlaw ait: order meeting tonight. Gov.
Garcelon saisl:
II stall;i be- e you the most abused man
in the Unitc2 7rates. I am not here to apol
ogize Of ask your pardon, but simply ask
your attention to the Constitution and law,
and if in any respect or my Council have
violated that law you have your remedy.
You say that the majority rule Is
the central principle Of our govern
mental system, but should not that
majority be expressed in q legal and constltu-
tiona1 manner? You are all aware thatat the
late election every effort was made on both
sides to secure majority, and that the
Fusion party had majority OF 1000 votes.
I challenge any man, I do not care how
ardent Republican, or rabid q Dem
ocrat, to take the returns, and If
there is any instance where we
have not applied the same rule to friend or
foe, then you can condemn us. l ind tab
ulated returns where sixty-four towns have
been rejected; thirty-two were Republican,
thirty Democratic, and two tie. Does this
look like conspiracy? Does it look as if the
rule had not been applied properly?"
Referring to the City of Lewiston, the Gov
ernor said no one doubted the voice OF the
people; that he knew his own city was
largely Republican, but it was question Of
law~with them. It does seem an outrage
that those who appearto be elected were re-
iected, but there is law and Constitution on
the other hand which must be respected. Bnt y
YOU, my friends, condemn us because we do
not think it right to go behind the returns.
ask you to consider what would bee4me e
the men you choose to office SHOULD
violate the laws and Constitution to suit their their
the excitement that have called upon the
Supreme Court to decide the question which
has been decided for fifteen years, and when
that decision is rendered hope the people
will be satisfied.
The Governor closed by advising, his
hearers to examine the facts and look at the
case calmly, and that they would find that
the Governor and Council were not such ter
ribly bad men after all.
Resolutions were then read ratifying and
sanctioning the course Of the Governor and
Council.

Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Ttotsne
AUGUSTA. Me, Jan. 3.-There is Jet but
little change in the situation to-day The
number of those who have arrived IN the
city is not as large as was expected. There
are, perhaps, twenty members OF the Legs
1lature in the city, almost all Fustonists, and
perhaps as many more politicians OF
that party not members OF the Leg
Islature. Very few Republican members OF
the Legislature are In the city, and there mas
been no influx Of Republicans as was .ex-
.pected by the other side. The fuslonlsls
here are, with the aid Of the Governors
.State-H House troops, amply able to repel any
attack on the Capitol that may be attempted.

.lination OF the Probate Judge at Portland,
who was counted in, and this morning OF the
purpose of the counted-in member Of the

ANOTHER HONEST MAN.
Special Dtspatch to The Chicago Tribune.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Jan. 3.-Tho Lewiston
evening paper, which arrived this evening,
has created CONSERVATION among the Fusion
ist politicians in this city. 1t contains, in the
first place, the announcement that the mem-
bers given certificates from the Pennington
District would not serve. This made three
Of the counted-in who have yielded to the
pressure Of public opinion or their own con-
science, and puts it in the power OF the Re
pub1icans to prevent quorum Of the House
assembling and gives them command OF the
situation The Fusionists claim that seventy
will be q quorum, owing to tile
fact that certificates have not been
given to twelve Representatives chosen by
certain cities, thus reducing the Whole
number of members so that seventy, instead
OF seyenty-six, will be majority and quo
rum. They, base this assumption on
THE ACTION OF CONGRESS
after the retirement Of the Southern mem
bers in 1861, when the rule that majority OF
the constituent members Of either House con-
stituted quorum was modified so as to pro
vide that majority OF members elected
constituted q quorum; but the Repub-
licans argue that this reasoning will
not apply to this case, for the
twelve members from the DISTINGUISHED
cities were not declared to be not elected.
The Governor and Council did not go to the
extent Of deciding that there had been no
election, but only refused to decide who had
been elected, owing to the alleged informality
in the returns. II they had decided that
there was no election, they could not well
have vithstood the pressure that would have
been brought to bear to order new cleo
ton. This was the last thing they wanted to
do, for obvious reasons, and they cannot well
