Fusi0n Members.
Mr. EDITOR Il notice by the papers that
several members of the fusion legislature talk
of retiring to their homes now that the Su-
preme Court has decided that their body is
illegal and that the legislature with Governor
Davis at its head is the only legally author
lied head of the State, saving they have
nothing further to do here. and that their con-
sttuents would prefer to see them at home
rather than to have them members of such
body But do these gentlemen properly con-
slider the position they occupy! II not
.counted in members, they were elected.
not to represent the Interests of a party. in
their several towns or counties, but the inter-
est of their entire constituency. What right
have they to desert those interests? And
why should they refuse to unite with the on
" body that can possibly pass an art or give
existence to a law that would be of any bind
ing force? They have no right in any other
body. Their certificates of election give
them no authority to become members of any
other body calling itself a legislature. They
are members of no other body but that which
holds its sessions at the State House; and vet,
now that i, i. decided beyond question that that
BODY is in all respects legal body. they re-
fuse to enter it or to participate in its delib-
erations am no politician, but am in
terested in this general subject and must say
that in my view, the above is a very singular
position for men of good common sense in
in other respects, to occupy. Their constitu-
ents demand representation, but they refuse
to act in behalf of their interests. Will they
force them to elect others to occupy their
places?

Some dozen ice men were here from New
York. Philadelphia and Washington, yester-
day, inquiring into the prospects here of a
large crop. They say that scarcely any ice
will be harvested beyond Massachusetts.
Their presence here was to engage as large
quantities as possible, if they could make sat
isfactory bargains. How well they succeeded
is not known.
Quite a number of the G. A. r. left here
yesterday. to take part in the reunion of that
order in Lewiston.

Winthrop Locals.
1t is no uncommon thing now that night
has triumphed, and peace is assured, to go
out and find republicans gathered together in
little squads. singing the Doxology 50 great
is their JOY. If ever people had cause to re-
joice it is now that the weli-laid plans of the
conspirators have utterly failed to accom-
plish the intended object-the subversion OF
the will Of the people The scenes through
which we have passed have been terrible
strain upon our free institutions. large
number of our people were in favor from the
first. of acting upon advice of Senator Ham,
lin to throw the conspirators out of the State
House with ptch-forks. but it is better as il is,
under the wise and sagacious Leadership
of Senator Blaine. Gov. Morrill, and Gen.
Chamberlain. Right has peacrably triumphed.
and ii will be a long while before anything
of the kind will ever be attempted again IN
Maine. Twenty-three thousand copies Of the
three opionions OF the judges ought to be

GARRISON LIFE.

and hair dresser Of the Auburn Company
has improvised = BARRIERS chair, which doe
credit to his mechanical genius. 1t consist,
Of a common wooden chair, with something
that looks like the arm of crutch affixed
This is placed upon an empty starch box,

Paris.
Donations from outside parties continue to
arrive. The most generous benefactor thus
far is the Hon. E. T. Gle of Auburn, who
has sent the company from that city barrel
of Providence River oysters.
There are some fine singers among the
soldiers and policemen. They gather in the
ante-rooms and the sweet strains of old Cos
pei hymns mingled with snatches of opera
and choice selections from negro minstrel
melodies float through the corridors of the
old building.
Captain Sprague. the able and genial COM
mander OF the Auburn Light Infantry, may
well feel proud of his company. They would
be an honor to any State. and are doubly SO
in Maine, where the militia have been SO
parsimoniously treated. Their exhibition
drill last evening before Gov. Davis. won for
them the highest enconiums from all who were
present TO witness it. At $50 the drums
called the men into line. They formed
in the rotunda, and performed the various
military evolutions with the precision of clock
work. Their silent drill or drill without
orders, was simply superb, and at its close
the spectators could not refrain from loudly
cheering. Three cheers were given tor Gov.
Davis. followed by the familiar A-U-B-u.R-N,
and the men marched to their quarters and
broke ranks. All honor to the citizen SOL
diery of Maine! All honor to the gentle
manly, gallant and soldierly Auburn Light
Infantry. In the years that are to come we
wish them prosperity and long life, both as a
company and as individuals. All good cti-
zens in Maine will from this honr henceforth
take deeper and stronger interest in the
militia companies Of the State.
