THE BLACK list,

Here is the list in black letters of the men
who, by an unhappy accident being in i'm
portant official positions, have deliberately
abused their trust, perverted the laws which
it was their sworn duty to execute justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who have sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and who have not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but have smirched
the fair fame Of the State whose officials they
unfortunately are. Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
may receive the just punishment of being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly of being wicked.
To this list will be hereafter appended the
names of such other men as shall take
offices to which they know they are not
elected, and who become equally guilty by
taking advantage of the vile conduct Of
these malefactors:

ATTORNEY General Mcclellan is quoted as
saying that if Garcelon had cut out the first
two questions of the Westminster catechism
and submitted them, the Court would have
managed to decide the whole matter as it
has done now. 1t is doubtful if the At
torney General knows what those questions
are. However as he declares the will OF
the Court must be respected his ignorance
of theology may be pardOned.

THE Gardiner Home Journal, which can
not certainly be accused of leanings toward
the Republican party, says of the opinion OF
the Court: "We have carefully read the
answers to every question; and it seems to
us they are exactly right; and we believe all
good men will endorse them, when they
shall allow their better Judgment to super
sede their party passions. Nor do we be-
lieve any decision contrary to these will ever

THE corps of skaters, force peculiar to
the Norwegian army, has lately been re-
organized and consists now of five compa-
MES, each of 10 men, which in time of war
can be reinforced by calling in 270 skaters
belonging to the landwehr. The men OF
this corps are armed with rifles, and can be
manoeuvred upon ice or over the snow fields
with rapidity equal to that of the best
trained cavalry. Their skates are six inches
wide and nine or ten long.

THE transportation of the soldiers monu-

SPRINGFIELD Union: Gov. Garcelon has
all along professed to have the highest possi-
bic respect for the law, but the emptiness
of that profession is very clearly set forth
when he coolly decides that his partisan in
terpretation of the laws of Maine is more au-
thoritative than the careful opinion OF the
seven supreme court judges of the State.
Gov. Garcelon may amuse and delude him
self with the idea that his ipSe dirit is. above
and beyond the deliberate opinion OF the
highest judicial tribunal in Maine, but he
cannot deceive the public nor even hold to-
gether his own party by any such self-delu-
sion. ''Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad" and political destruction
will inevitably follow this remarkable exhi-
bition of madness ON the part of the Demo
cratic management in Maine. To defy pub
lie opinion, statute law, common sense and
manifold historical precedent is decidedly
too much of a weight for the Maine Democ-
racy to attempt to carry.

INSANE people usually fear harm from, or
do harm to, their best friends. When Gov
Garcelon stated in his speech at the ratifica-
ton meeting in Lewiston, that he feared he
should be assassinated on account OF the
part he took in counting out the Republicans
elected last September, he must have been
suffering from temporary insanity, caused
possibly by the pangs of a guilty conscience,
or perhaps by ''sort of mildew'' such. as
he said, Infected several of our larger cities
whose returns were ''fatally detective or
he would never have given utterance to such
an absurd and groundless fear. DR.. Garce-
lon will never have his name added to the
long list of rulers who were martyred while
in the discharge of their executive duties.
He is in the wrong party to be in the slight
est danger of that. The political assassins
are all among his party friends, and the more
he exasperates the Republicans and insults
the law-abiding people of the State, the bet
ter all assassins, and would-be- assassins, are
pleased with him. Andrew johnson had
sagacity enough to appreciate this fact, and
made haste, after the murder of Lincoln, to
sswing around the circle" and put himself
on good terms with any lurking rebel that
might still be thirsting for his blood, had he
remained true to his country and his party.
Yes, Caesar had his Brutus, Charles l. his
Cromwell, Abraham Lincoln his Booth; but
Alonzo Garcelon is perfectly safe.

Garlleld's Record.

SHORT SUMMARY OF MS DoINGs WHILE
IN CONGRESS-.
From the st. Louis Post-Dspaich
Gariield's characte, is as dubious as his
talents are unquestioned.
His hands are stained and unclean,
not by mere rumor but by the evidence
and testimony of prominent Republi.
cans, Jy he official record Of Congress.
lie took twenty shares of Credit Mo-
bilier stock, that is twice as much as
most of the other Senators and Repre-.
sentatives-and retained every penny
of the enormous cash dividends though
he had never paid one penny for the
stock-never paid for it except in votes.
He was member of the Boss Shep.
herd District of Columbia ring. In one
case he could not deny having received
5000 for putting through, as a chair.
man OF the Committee on Appropria-
tions, an enormous appropriation for
the swindling De Golyer pavement.
Compelled to admit .the receipt of the
money, he tried to excuse himself by
assertion, under oath, that the money
was fee received as an attorney. This
led to the proof that he never uttered
one word or wrote one syllable or did a
single thing in the matter except to put
through the appropriation that he
never had case, never received fee,
never acted as an attorney in his life
while at Washington. Precisely as in
the case of Colfax, the attempted ex.
planation made the thing thousand
times worse. 1t added to the proof of
bribery that of perjury.
lie was a leader in the salary grab,
and again, unlike many other members,
never returned the $4,000, the taking
of which was so unanimously condemn.
ed by the people that the very next
Congress repealed the law by an almost
unanimous vote.
He voted for every one of the many
jobs, land grants, subsidies to railroads,
etc, that were granted since 1862.
He and Sherman and Stanley Mat.
thews were the three Ohio friends of
Mr.. Hayes who went down to louisiana
and managed the returning board.
The electoral vote of that State was, in
reality, not stolen by the returning
board, but by Garfield and Sherman,
who furnished them with the inspira.
ton, the courage and the temptation
TO commit that crime. The returning
board rascals were only tools in the
hands of Garfield and sherman, who
spoke, promised and acted as the per.
sonal and immediate agents of X. b.
Hayes.
Garfield made speech of great pow.
er against the Electoral Commission
bill, upon the sole ground that it com.
PEELED an investigation of the returning.
board frauds, compelled to go behind the
returns. But, the bill passed, Garfield
became member of the commission.
lie took this oath: Il, James A. Gar.
field, do sotemniy aoear that IwiH imparG.
ally eramine and consider all questions Sub.
mitted to the commission of which am
a member, and true judgment give
