1u0 Gf60uDdCk M60GlQR 1oSJor0aY.
The Greenback county committee and other
prominent members of the party, met at the
office of the New Era-Leader yesterday to

commence at once in order to make the Repub-
lican majority as large as possible. The Rev.
w. T. Eaton Candidate for the Greenback
nomination for Congressl presided, with S. A.
Berry of Deering as acting Secretary. The
case of Capt. Skillin was considered and the
following resolution presented, it is under
stood, by Col. r. M. Springer, editor of the
Sunday New Era and New Era-Leader, and
President of the Maine State Circle B. P. L.,
was unanimously adopted:
ResolUed, That we heartily appreciate the
manly courage and loyal purpose of Capt. W.
3. Skillin as shown in his determination to
defend his rights to the office of county COM
missioner, to which office he was duly COM
missioned by the Governor of the state, and we
pledge ourselves to sustain him by our moral
and pecuniary support, to the end that a test
may be made of the revolutionary attempt to
trample down the rights of the people and
overthrow all constitutional and legal forms.

Portland, April A. 1880.
General Orders, No. 3.
1.-The rules and regulations of the Grand
Army OF the Republic have designated the
3Oth day of May, annually, as a Memorial Day,
and provided that when such day occurs on
Sunday, the succeeding day shall be observed
in those States, where by legal enactment that
day would be legal holiday.
In accordance with the above regulation,
Monday, May 31st will be observed by this
department of the Grand Army of the
Republic as Memorial Day.
Pit is fitting that we should do honor to
those who have given the strongest evidence
of patriotic devotion.
A proper observance of the day by civic
societies, military companies, the children of
the various schools, and the citizens generally
is earnestly invited, especially in localities
where there are no Posts of the Grand Army
OF the Republic, to take the initiative.
Clergymen Of all denominations are respect
fully solicited to devote some portion of their
religious services of the preceding Sabbath to
commemorative notice of our fallen comrades.
MAY the planting of perennial flowers, the
placing OF spring blossoms upon their graves,
epitomize our admiration of their heroic sacri-
flee and our tender recollection of those buried
near their homes, as we'll as those who rest in
distant or unknown graves.
Let us strive to educate the rising generation
to the fulfillment of this solemn, sacred, an
nual observance, when we shall have answered
to the last roll-oall.

THE Argus of yesterday says the majority
1862 were counted out by Gov. Washburn
and his Council on principles that were in
violation of those contained in the recent
opinion of the Supreme Court. In respect
to this statement we beg to refer our con-
temporary to the facts in that case as stated
by the Senate Committee of elections for
1868, as follows: 'It was also proved that
no list of persons voted for was made by the
town clerk in open town meeting; nor did
he make any record Of the votes in open
town meeting, nor any record at all until
nearly four weeks afterwards; nor ,cds any
return Of cotes made and sealed up IN open
toarn meeting, NOR ANY RETURN AT ALL
UNTIL SEVERAL WEEKS AFTERWARDS"
The fact was that the ''return was made in
the store of one of the selectmen, on Sep
tember 26th, the meeting having been held
on the 9th; and that it bears the genuine
signature of the town clerk and of one
seectman only" VIII the Argus be kind
enough to point out wherein the decision of
the Governor and Council in this case con-
ficts with any rule or principle of law laid
down by the Supreme Court in it's answers
to the questions of Gov. Garcelon? 1t may
be said further, that in this case the Senate.
the final arbiter, decided that neither of the
gentlemen referred to was entitled to the
seat claimed.

A NOBLE OPINION.

The Supreme court of Maine has not left a
shred of the veil behind which the Governor
and his supporters thought to hide themselves.
By unanimous vote it has decided every point
submitted to it by the adroit Democratic law
yers, against the conspirators, and in favor of
those whom the people elected to the Legisla-
ture. 1t is impossible to praise too highly the
terse, clear and emphatic language in which
the whole fabric of 'idle technicalities' and of
''carping and captions criticism" is overturned
and swept away. The opinion Of the court is
like fresh copy of the charter of our liberties,
and it's clear, ringing sentences will be remem-
bered as proverbs. 1t lifts the whol5 eontro-
versy into an atmosphere where principles con-
troll, and whore the miserable pettifoggng de-
vices of political tricksters have no weight. 1t
deserves to be and will be quoted hereafter
whenever designing men seek to defeat the
will of the people. Tie principles laid down
ara such as will recommend themselves to
every fair-minded man, and the summary at
the end is a severe and overwhelming condem-
nation of the tricks by which ii has been sought
TO reverse the popular verdict

Centaur
LINIM EN- rs

THE GREAT PAIN RELIEVING and
curative remedies have already worked their
way into every hamlet where the English Ian
guage is spoken. That the reputation of and
demand for such remedies as these are,
should extend and increase, could not be other
wise. THERE is NO PAIN, soreness OF
swelling which they will not alleviate. There
are but exceptional cases of constitutional
humors and distorted joints, which they do not
cure, and none they will not benefit They
are SOOTHING, absorbing and emollient.
They EXTRACT THE PAIN from and heal
burns and scalds without scars. For RHEU-
MATIC AFFECTIONS, pains in the back,
stiff joints, wounds, strains and eruptions, they
act with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. These
preparations are of two kinds, the FAMILY
and the ANIMAL Liniments. Being univer-
sally adapted to the external ailments of man
and beast, the name Of the HALF-HORSE
and HALF-MAN Centaurs was naturally at
tached to them. They perform cures never be
fore effected by any remedy. Undoubtedly
|, more of them are sold than OF all other hnl-
ments, ointments, oils, embrocations, plasters
and so-called pain-killers combined.
The WHITE Centaur Liniment cures Rheu-
matism, Sciatica, Lumbago and Tic doul-
ourux.
ITRELIEvES Neuralgia and all kinds of
pain.
IT HEALS wounds, sores, gals and pois-
onous bites.
IT CURES Itch, Pimples and Salt Rheum.
IT SUBDUES Inflammation and pain.
1t CURES broken breasts and sore nipples.
BOILS, FELONS, ETC, are rendered near
ly painless,
CONTRACTED CORDS and stiff joints are
limbered.

A COLLAPSED CONSPIRACY.
n. Y. Herald, Ind.l

We need not proceed in special conf
ment on the points decided by the Supreme
Judicial Court. 1t sufices to say that the
whole ground on which the Governor and
Council stood is cut from under them. The
constitution of Maine is so construed as 70
make it consistent with justice, common sense
and the right Of the electors to have their votes
counted and their intentions respected. We
suppose the conspiracy to steal the Legislature
will collapse under the weight of this opinion,
and that means will be found to put the Re-
publican party in possession of what they really
won in the election

Public Opinion.
What the Papers Say About the Decision.
HE MUST SUBMIT.

philadelphia Times, Dem.l
The decision practically leaves the Cover
nor and Council without single technical
point to stand upon, and they must now inso-
lently defy the highest judicial authority Of
the State, as the Florida returning board did,
or undo their work and certify the rightiully
chosen legislators to their seats. The whole
flimsy fabric of Garcelon's bubbles is swept
away from him by the instructions OF the court.
The opinion is net tonly sound constitutional
law but it is plain common sense and justice,
and everybody will so understand it. The
judgment of the highest authority of Maine is
thus squarely against Governor Garcelon and
his Council, and they must either obey or null
lily the laws. There is no middle ground left,
and no pretext will serve to excuse persistence
in what is palpable public wrong, and now so
judicially declared. Whether the Governor
shall obey the law or not, it is evident that his
manufactured Fusion majority will not last
week, if it should hold together long enough
to meet in Legislative halls. Every considera-
tion of both legal right and expediency calls
upon him to surrender in obedience to the
court. 1t must CONS sooner or later, either by
a straight or some crooked way, and the Gov
ernor may as we'll make the most of necessity
by gracefully submitting.
