men who sign the majority report say:
No one of the ex-members of the council
so notified has seen fit to appear before your
committee in response to such notice. Mr..
Foster who is absent in distant State has re-
sponded in courteous letter, regretting his in
ability to be present as he is so far away. Mr..
Fogg has replied in long letter which goes
into the testimony, and which has already
been published in some of the State newSpa-
pers. Governor Garcelon has appeared and
given extended testimony which is herewith
submitted.
The weight of all the testimony rests SO
heavily upon these members of uov. Garce.
Ions council who have refused to come for
ward as they have had ample opportunity oI
doing, to explain OF deny the acts which the
testimony leaves at their doors, that your com
mittee bearing in mind the well-known rule,
that no witness, if forced to appear, can be
compelled to testify to facts involving him in a
crime, have concluded to leave these men
where the testimony leaves them, exercising
the privilege, invoked by criminals for ages
past, of not testifying against themselves

that neither explanation nor justification is

The Report on the Conspiracy.

The report of the Legislative committee
which has been investigating the action of
eX-Gov. Garcelon and his Executive is a
clear and very full resume of the testimony
brought out during the examination, and
an excellent summing up of the evidence.
In length it is many columns of the PRESS.
The abstract sent by the associated press
does away with the necessity of its republi-
cation. 1t will be printed in pamphlet
form, and win possess much interest and
value as the official record of the investiga-
ton and as giving what is known of the
story of the frauds and forgeries resorted to
by the Fusionists in their desperate attempt
The charges of conspiracy preferred by the
Republican papers are fully substantiated,
and even the minority with the strongest
inducements to break the force of the accu-
sation against their party associates, confess
their inability to deny the correctness of
the recital of facts made by the majority,
though illogically enough they express their
unwillingness to assent to all the conclu-
sions drawn. The minority report indeed is
confession that nothing can be said in de-
fense or rebuttal. The gentlemen signing it
content themselves with regrettng that the
implicated men shave not seen fit to appear
and explain the Irregularities" though "a
letter courteous in its language was ad-
dressed by the clerk of the committee to
each of the members of Garcelon's Council
saying that an opportunity would be given
them to appear and testify" The following
is that letter:
AUGUSTA, March 4th, 1880.
SIR-I am directed by unanimous vote of the COM
mittee on investigation into election returns al
expenditure and appropriation of the public money
to inform you that the committee has investigated
into and taken testimony upon the subject matter
committed to it by the Legislature, including the
acts of the Governor and Council upon said election
returns and the appropriation of public moneys
der their control and that opportunity will be
offered for you to appear before said committee on
Monday the eighth day of March, at the Capitol in
Augusta to testify. and make explanation upon the
matter before said committee. Parties appearing
before the committee will be allowed the usual fees
for travel and attendance.

All Its Benefits.

Upon taking out a policy a premium note is deposited, part of which only is paid in Cash, and the balance held for assessment in case of loss, beyond the cash payments. But it is believed no assessment will ever be called for. There can be no responsibility beyond the amount of the note. At the end of the term the note with the balance unpaid is giv- en up to the maker. In case o1 loss it is provided that the same shall be adjusted by two disin- terested persons mutually chos en by insured and insurer. If they fail to agree, they shall choose a third party, and their decision shall be final, thus avoiding expensive and tedious litigation.
 The rates have been fixed as low as possible, thus bringing the benefits within the reach o1 all.

Good words for a Good Thing.

The papers are so full of exaggerations about all sorts of things, that it is hard to tell what to believe. Yet all things are not hum- bugs, nor are all statements lies Dr. David Kennedy's "Favorite Remedy" is exactly what it claims to be- and deserves the praises that are showered upon it from all who have used it. Hear word from MT. Israel H. Snyder. of Saugertles, N. Y. He says My little daughter was covered with Salt Rheum from head to foot. Favorlte Reme- dy' cured her altogether, and the disease has never since appeared This was two years ago." Such words go to the point.

have. II u keeper or guard can be

for them such as bringide iifS papers,

Is,npIoyed. in the fine work in the prison,
to carry out his letters and bring back
the answer. Thus letters go in and ont.
The New York morning papers reach
Auburn ut, 4 o'clock in tho afternoon,
and the same evening the convicts may
be found reading the news Of the day
on the sly, in their cells. How the pris-
oners secure tho newspapers is mystery
to many. The foreman Of the shops, or
perhaps the officers, bring them in.
The convicts will give great deal for
New York papers, and they will have
them at any price. The prisoners keep

If there is one thing more than another
that a convict likes to do it is to trade.
The men are barteriny constantly, and
some become possessed Of considerable
property" which, however, they must
at all times keep concealed. Not SO very
long ago an enterprising convict estab-
lishel a distillery in the prison and en-
gagged in the manutactory of liquor. He
excayatedl beneath II stone in the floor of
the kitchen, where he was employed,
and set II small tube in the hole. With
hops used in making yeast, and corn
and barley, used in making bread and
soup, he produced u potation that would
intuxicatc. Drunkenness became quite
prevalent and finally the distillcry was
discovered and the moonslincr' put in
the prison Jail on bread and water. While
he ran the distillcry he did well and
would, il, short time, have been com
paratively wealthy. Beer as it is
caIfed,i is made to this day from the bread
crlsts, but the makers have to exercise
caution. One man raised u quantity OF
tomatoes on the wim,low-sill OF his shop,
and sold the crop for Il large sum. Smok-
ing, although strictly prohibited, is in
dulgcd in at night after the men arc
"locked." A spell ago y watch was
taken from man. The convict carried
it in a leather bag suspended in his pants
leg by means Of string. The cOnvicts
pin things inside their clothig to keep
them from the officers, AMI carry knives
and others implements in their hats and
shoes.
