Two Governments at vyori<-Tne Pre-
tenders Argument.

Two Governments at vSori-Tne Pre-
tenders Argument.
Augusta, Jan. 21.-The fusionists'
secretary of state, Sawyer, has establish
ed the state department of the fusion
ist government in the two rear offices
on the second floor in Aliens block and
has appointed chief clerk and deputy,
and has notified all persons having cor
respondence with the department to
address P. A. Sawyer, Augusta, Me.
Sawyer says: I'VE have returned to
first principles. We have pine tables
and chairs. The great seal of state is
in possession of the only legally elected
and qualified secretary of state. The
capital guards and other companies have
been ordered to the armory as pre-
cautionary measure
The fusionists in secret session voted
to draw up statement of facts and
series of questions to be submitted to
the members. who will decide whether
to send them to the court or not. Gould,
who will prepare questions, desires two
days time.
Blaine, addressing public meeting
tonight, congratulated the people.
"That we once more meet as peaceful
citizeus of Maine, under the protection
of legal state government, chosen by
the people with validity of its title
patent to the world. We can congrat-
Mate ourselves that we carried the con-
troversy through with our own strength
and with no thought of seeking aid
from the national government or from
any other power Of any kind outside
our own limits and our own people,
Boston, Jan. 21-The Herald's Augusta
special says: The fusion house met in
Minor hall at 10 Il. m. Swan moved to
reconsider the vote of yesterday order
ing the commander to submit questions
to the supreme court, believing it was
hasty and i'll considered. He thought
the house had enough of opinions from
the supreme court. The court had not
agreed to consider any questions and
there was no doubt it would refuse to
give a decision if any were submitted;
such step would be complete sur
render to the republicans. Plaisted fol-
lowed in the same strain. 1t was evil
dent from the tone of the speeches the
fusionists dared submit no question, in
accordance, it is believed, with the ad-
vice of Gould. Benner and Rafter
denied that they took part in the bust
ness of the republican house yesterday,
they had not entered the state house
since refused admission on Monday

central Paclnc:stock so,a.

New York, Jan. 21.-The Tribune
says the sale of S10,000,0O0 of Central
Pacific stock is as striking an event in
its way as the recent sale made by Van
derbilt. Equally noticeable are furth-
er indications that the tendency is to
distribute properties that have long
been concentrated in few hands. The
Central Pacific has been heretofore a
much closer corporation than the New
York Central.
In the judgment of extremely saga
cious men who, even after this sale,
still control four-fifths of it, the time
will come when the public shall be in
vited to share in the ownership.

er he has any particular object in
standing to gain strength so that he
can transfer to some other candidate,
is not developed. 1t is certain that he
will try to get the vote of the New
York delegation, either for himself
or Grant, as he may elect. The fact of
his not going south with Gen. CIR ant is
now brought up, ard what was then
charged to be misunderstanding is
now credited to a thorough understand
ing. None of the New York politi-
clans here, however, believe that any
change will be made in the New York
legislature in the method of selecting
presidential electors, Notwithstanding
the alleged facts in the case which are
now being published in the New York
papers. Conkling's candidacy is one
of the latest topics in political circles.

Minority Report in the Fitz John
Porter Case.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The minority
of the house committee on military af-
fairs considering the case of Fitz John
Porter recommends the adoption of the
following joint resolutions:
Resolred; That the president be re-
quested to remit the remainder of the
unexecuted sentence which disqualifies
Fitz John Porter from holding any
Office of trust or profit under the gov
ernment of the United States. The
minority concede that'logically perhaps
they should not recommend, but it is
considered that amnesty and pardon
have teen extended to those formerly
in arms against the United States and
that the removal of disabilities for Of
fences as dangerous as his to perpetuity
of the union are of daily occure nee, the
reasons for their action in the Porter
case are obvious.

scymour.s Deciinaslon.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Great injus-
tice has been done Governor Seymour
by corrupt clique at Washington, in
suppressing letter of his positively de-
clining to be a candidate for the presi-
dency or to accept the nomination un-
der any circumstances. There is no
excuse for p,.tting this distinguished
democrat in false position, or of using
his name with full knowledge that he
has forbidden it to be used in any such
connection.

Rio Janeiro, via Lisbon, regarding the
riots says: SIN consequence of the
public opposition to the levying of a
tax of twenty reis per passenger on
street car traffic, the mob destroyed the
cars and tracks Of the company, at
tackled the conductors, and stoned and
fired at the troops. The latter charged,
and three persons were killed and thirty
wounded, including some soldiers and
a policeman. Order was finally re-
stored, and tramway traffic resumed.
The government in replying to the dep
utation refused to remove the impost.

An ArmIess and a Legless Statesman

An Armless and a Legless Statesman.
From the New York Tribune.
Mr.. Kavanagh, the Irish member of
parliament whose lack of arms and
legs is accompanied by plentiful sup
ply of brains, had in his youth very
sorrowful life. After the early death
of father and. mother, he was under the
control of his two eldest brothers, who,
mortified by his strange deformity, are
said to have secluded him in the coun-
try from the sight of mankind. The
boy, full of intellectual zeal and manly
spirit, would not allow his mind to rust
or grow morbid; and when, after sever
al years his brothers died, leaving a
very large estate to his guidance, he
emerged from his library rarely cultiv-
ated and brilliant man with brain and
will SO trained that it was very easy
matter to him to grasp practical life and
affairs. So delightful are Mr.. .Kavanagh's
intellectual and spiritual graces that he
won for his wife very beautiful and
charming woman. His children are all
bright and handsome, and he is greatly
beloved, both by them and by his ten
antry. In spite of his bodily mifortune
Mr.. Kavanagh is a noted Nimrod, rid
ing after hoands-in saddle which he
himself invented-with the greatest en-
ergy and daring.

u. w. Curtis 1ntcrviewed-Co ConkIiny'e
Candidacy.
New York, Jan. 21.-The Herald re-
ports an interview with Geo. William
Curtis, in which, speaking of Grant.
he says: His strength is very great in
this state; it consists in what is known
as the machine element, Cornell, Hos
kins, Arthur and Speaker Sharpe are
among its leaders So is Silas B.
Butcher who has just been made super
intendent of public works. His office
controls most of the patronage of the
state, and that will undoubtedly be
used by the machine for the further
ance of the third term project. Wheth-
er OF not they will be able to throw the
weight of New York in the national
convention in favor of the scheme re-
mains to be seen. 1t is probable that
Conkling will also tend in that direc-
ton, and he is all powerful with the
machine. He has private reasons for
not wishing the nomination of Sher-
man or Blaine. Undoubtedly a major
ty OF the republicans will follow them,
but there will be a great number who
will act independently, if they hold the
balance. think am right in saying
that Cornell's minority in the aggre-
gate vote for governorship last year
was between fifty and sixty thousand.

Miners Killed by. an Explosion.
London, Jan. 21.-An explosion has
occurred in Lycett colliery near New
Castle. The number of persons killed
is variously stated at from seventy to
ninety. The scene Of the explosion is
at New Castle on Tyne. The dlsas-
ter occurred at eight O'Clock this MORN
ing. There is little hope of any person
in the pit at the time of the calamity.
1t is estimated from seventy to nine-
ty persons will be saved. Search is de-
layed by damage to the shaft. The ex-
plosion is attributed to the gaseous ma
ture of the coal seam.
The latest accounts fix the number
of persons in the pit at II. 1t is be-
heved that not more than six of the
rescued can possibly recover. Twenty
five corpses have already been brought
up, majority disfgured beyond recog-
milton. The few rescued alivs are
dying rapidly. The scene at the pit is
heartrending.
One of the corpses has. lost part of the
head, Others were burned to cinders,
while some appear to have been killed
by concussion. Gangs of volunteers
are descending frequently. The part
Of the Lycett colliery, where the ex.
plosion occurred, is known as the four
lady pit and is the same in which six
men were killed last autumn. The coal
belongs to the Banbury or fiery seam in
which all of the great Staffordshire
explosions have, occurred.
