AUGUSTA, Me-, March 18.-The Legisla-
tive Committee, inquiring into the conduct
Of Ex-Governor Garcelon and the Council,
have made their report. 1t shows that
Garcelon, while evincing a willingness to
disclose every thing, was infrm in memory,
aud failed to give satisfactory reasons for
his course. When evidence was laid before
him he ceased longer to defend the count
ing out. and ~passionately declared his own
innocence, and declared that a Judas among
the Council had done the villainy. The
Committee say, first, that the returns were
kept away from candidates, contrary to
usage /; second, that during such time alter
atoms. erasures. and forgeries were made
upon them for the purpose Of counting out
the Republicans third, that during this
time defects in the Fusion returns we're
surrepttiously corrected, n affidavits Sc
cured to throw out Republican returns ;
fourth, that in all such cases the result in-
variably was, counted out Republicans and
counted in Fusion candidates ; fifth, the
result was reached by refusing to allow the
Republican errors to be corrected ; sixth,
the rules which were laid down we're strict
ly applied to reject Republican returns,
and not applied to correct Fusion returns;
seventh, many Of these rules we're evidently
invoked to secure . Fusion Legislature
eighth. these illegal and fraudulent acts
were part of q premeditated plan to secure
q Fusion Governor and Legislature. and
the Governor and Council must have been
parties to the plan; ninth, different appro-
priations by the Legislature have been d.
verted from their legitimate purposes, and
in many cases had been exhausted. public
funds were Withdrawn from the treasury
by Garcelon and his Council without war
rant Of law, and we're applied to unanthor-
lied purposes and for unlawful ends. A
large sum of money belonging to the State
still remains in the hands Of Garcelon and
other officials Of last year. which should
be converted back into the treasury. The
recklessness Of the management, dis
closed in the transactions Of last year, tends
to destroy public confidence and to under
mine public credit, and introduce practices
which, if unrebuked. will prove alta. to the
prosperity Of the State.
