THE RADICAL SCARE.
AUGUSTA, Jan. 29.-The committee to in
vestigate if enlistments or enrolment of
men have been made, held its first session
this afternoon. Mayor Nash, of this city,
gave lengthy testimony. he says he was
fully satisfied there had been enlistments
made tere, and that an organization was
being formed here in the Office Of r. w.
Black, the object of which was to sustain
Garcelon and hold the State house. It was
notorious about town that men came to this
building and occupied it every night. They
drilled nightly with arms brought from the
Bangor arsenal.
TROOPS WITHDRAWN.

and Richardson's light infantry marched
out of the State house at 8 o'clock this morn

sPECULATIoNs.
AUGUSTA, Jan. 28.-Some Fusionists claim
that it is the honest purpose and intention
of their legislature to meet in August, and
that they will enter upon heavy campaign
work for the next election and endeavor to
have two returns of the Congressional vote,
one to be sent to them and another to the
legislature as recognized by the courts, and
that they will make up case
to Congress concerning the electoral
vote. The Republicans and quite number
of Fusionists say that the Fusion legislature
will never again meet, as will be shown to-
morrow by members taking their seats in
the regular legislature, that the course
pursued was an indirect method of dissolv-
ing, and that if the members 60 home they
will soon be returned by their constituents
to look out for important interests coming
before the legislature this session. The leg
islature will declare vacant all seats
that are not now filled and new elections will
be ordered. The Fusionist secretary of
state, Sawyer, promises to return the valua-
ton books to the office of the secretary of
state, and it is thought he will not claim to
be secretary any longer. State Treasurer
White was unable to be here to-day, but
telegraphed the finance committee
that he would read the opin-
ion and meet them tomorrow,
his only desire having been to secure himself
and bondsmen against loss. The opinion
prevails that he will freely give up the keys
and property of the Office as soon as his sue
cessor is qualified. Only one company of
militia is now at the State house, and that
will soon be relieved from duty. 1t is the
opinion on all sides that the contest has now
ended and excitement closed.
