In mentioning the Currie and the
Rothschild cases, in the same conpec-
ton, the STATESMAN enormously re-
ferred to the former as having taken
its course through the Court of APP
peals. The Rothschild case has had
this distinction, but the Currle case
was really never SO much honored.
Currie was given relief without appeal
to tho higher court.

AN exchange, in reference to the re
nomination and election of Judge
Bledsoe, says:
It is charged that he is lacking in in
tegrity, dignity and ability-only that
he IL an infidel. It has been generally
understood that q mans religious views,
ie this country, have nothing to do
with his aspirations andrights as ci'i-
rem.
None sraiss such points except q
few fanatics, who are dangerous in So
eiety, since their diseased minds lead
them one day to lead sanctified band
and another to lead to bloodshed and
to crime. They are Kallochs and the
Kearneys.

The Lamar Banner says:

We were frequently told by the
friends of Col. Lang, when he set out
on his tour through the state as Grange
lecturer, that there would be no poll
tics mixed up in the matter. But it
now seems that there is precious little
of the Grange and great deal of
Lang and the governorship and SYSTEM
attic opposition to Governor Roberts.

Tue Examiner not long ago lauded
Governor Roberts for all of his official
acts, and especially did it approve of
HIM for his exercise of the veto power
in arresting ruinous expense on the
part OF the state. Now, in the inter

Roberto, and says Texas has been
robbed of the school money through
and by Governor Roberts"

man to engineer the work of the can

seems to be, by running to extremes,
that nothing may be done.

BOSTON. Jan. l2,-Dispatches from
Augusta contain interesting details of
the situation in that city. The organi-
zation OF the Legislature is declared to
have been we'll considered project on
the part of the Republicans, and was
decided upon as the most practical and
probable way OF getting an opinion
from the Supreme Court upon the sub
ject embodied in the order passed 10
the Republican House and Senate. To-
day there has been strong pressure
brought to bear upon the Republicans of
Maine from their party friends through
out the country The leaders declare
that they waited awhile in hopes that the
fusionists would take some action in re-
lation TO admitting the Republicans from
the disfranchlsed cities and towns, but
waited In vain. He hoped the Supreme
Judicial Court would convene Wednesday,
in which event an answer is looked for by
Friday or Saturday of this week Augusta
is crowded with politicians to night from
all parts OF the state aud elsewhere. The
Fusionists are not despondent and assert
that Gen, Chamberlain has promised that
they will not be prevented from entering
their respective chambers in the State
House tomorrow. The Republicans are
holding the situation tonight and many
OF them are sleeping on desks in the
Senate and House ready to begin work to-
morrow. They confidently express the
belief that the legal opinion asked for will
be in their faver.
Rumors of various kinds are in circu-
lation, not among the least interesting of
which is report that Acting Governor
Lamson will to morrow endeavor to have
Chamberlain arrested by the militia forces
for has action in disregardiug the protest
OF the former previous to the assembiage of
the Republican legislature this evening.

AUGUSTA, Jan. l3.-At quarter to two
O'Clock the committee of the house to re-
port the questions to submit to the Su-
preme Court submitted series which it
was voted to submit to the court. The
questions are long. Both branches ad.
journed until Saturday, January II. at 2
p. N. Forty enthusiastic Republicans
came to the city last night by aPulImau
train-Hale, in his remarks relative to
order submitting questions to the Supreme
Court said the representatives assembled
here did not desire to control, if the
law did not give them the right. nor to
ride rough shod over any one, as they
might have done days ago, but for the
main purpose and great purpose indicated
in the order, and when the court decided
the question, the people of Maine will
take Ethat as fnal-an exposition of the
law upon the question of organization, and
it will be expected everybody in the hall
will accept it as laid down by the court.
Both branches of the Fusion legislature
quietly assembled to-day, the Republicans
being away. The night at the capitol
| passed very quietly, full guard being on.
The only thing irregular this morning was
when G. w. Martin attempted to pass the
guard in defiance of the police regulatio ons,
and was summarily handled by the police.
The Fusionists are very reticent about ex-
pressing an opinion of the events of last
night. They seem surprised and entirely
unwilling to converse upon the subject
Wallace Il. White whose card of denial of
bribery has been published, has been sum
moned before the bribery committee, but
he refused to appear. The following is bis
card:
To Henry Ingalls,, Chairman of the Investigating
have received your summons to appear
before your committee charged with the
of the alleged bribery of Il.

appear for the reason that you are not
competent to send for persons and papers
and not competent to administer a legal
oath. Witnesses before you could
swear to anything without incurring the
hazard of prosecution for perjury
Ii Swan and Hartman had secured
bribe. they would naturally swear falsely
about it, and if they merely put the job up
they would be still more likely to testify
falsely. When [ meet them | want it to
be before a tribunal that has power to
enforce its DEGREES and administer punish
ment. Your house of representatives is
illegally organized, or not organized at all,
and if you have any doubt on that point.
shall be glad to have you arrest me for
contempt. and have the authority Of your
process tested by writ of habeas corpus
before the Supreme Judicial court. If |
am not sustained by that tribunal shall
cheerfully appear before your committee.
(Signedj WALLACE r. WHITE.
The reported scheme of eleeting the
state officers aud governor has apparently
been abandoned, both parties seeming
willing to await the decision of the
Supreme court before proceeding further.

has as yet performed no official act that at
all interferes with the prerogatives ofGen.

CHICAGO, EJan. l3.-There was cousid-
erabie excitement at the stock yards this
morning, owing to assaults made by the
union men, who, being unable to secure
their old places 10 the packing houses.
ousled themselves going about the yards
abusing the non-union men. stoning them
and striking them with sticks as they
passed IN and out the gate. About four
hundred 10 all were engaged 10 these out
RACES. and several of them were arrested
and marched to the police station
at the point of the revolver.
followed by a hooting crowd of their
friends. The most of the strikers. and all
the more reasonable ones, are at their
halls. but should the arrests continue, it is
feared they will join in the trouble and
cause bloodshed. The police authorities
regard the situation as critical and have
transferred a large force to the stock
yards.
CHICAGO, Jan. l3,-While a mob Of
union men were attacking a workman
named Andrew Deichman, on Halsted

but probably not fatal injuries Deich-
man was arrested and taken by the police
into street car. whereupon the mob
nearly demolished the car with sticks and
stones. The superintendent of police has
ordered the saloons in the vicinity of the
stock yards closed for the present At
latest accounts all was quiet and no further
trouble anticipated.
