NelO Years Dan.

New Years Day in Wilmington is
being very quietly observed and there
is nothing in the general appearance of
the town to denote that the day was
even an ordinary holiday.
Last nighi watch meetings were held
in nearly all the. churches. : cont nuing
till after midnight. The services con
sisted mainly of hymn singing and pray
or, but some of the Episcopal churches,
and in West Presbyterian aud Delaware
Avenue Baptist churches, the meetings
we're of more varied nature.
The New Year was entered in with
the singing OF bells, the blowing OF
Whistles and the firing of guns and pis
tots. and all these things combined Great
ed quite a noise in the town, and il the
making it were as earnest in their de
m orstration OF gladness, as they were
in continuing the din, it is presumed
that the dawning of the glad new year
was pleasant occurrence to them. This
morning the small boy was on the street
with his tin horn for awhile and made
things lively with his persistent blow
ing.
TO day all the banks are closed, but
with the exception of one or two other
public departments the wheels of every
day business are moving as usual.

CERTAIN QUESTIONS TO BE SUBMITTED
TO THE CoURT-GOv. GARCELoN
STANDS FIRM M-CoNGRATULATIoN
RECEIVED FROM SAN FRANCISCO
oFFICERs WILL OBEY ORDERS.
AUGUSTA, ME-, December 3l.-The
military officers summoned from Bangor
had an interview with the governor to-
day In reference to an inquiry concern
ing the calling out of the militia COM
panies should they be needed. The
Officers promised to obey the orders of
the governor as long as he was in office.
The governor spoke in strong language
In opposition to calling out military
companies.
The governor has prepared certain
questions of law for the Supreme Court,
which he will submit, in response to the
letter of Mr.. Morrill,. The questions
will cover the essential points in Mr..
Morrill's communications but are not to
be made public until placed in the hands
Of the court. There will be no. cores
pondence with Mr.. Morrill, as to the
matter of the communication. Mr..
Gould, the governors legal adviser, say s
the constitution authorizes only the SUBJ
mission Of questions of law to that court
and not of facts. The questions were
sent 10 the court this afternoon.
In the statement made to the Rcpub-
hcan advisory committee, Orville d.
Baker, their counsel, calls attention to
the fact that the returns from Portland
last year as well as this contained votes
returned as scattering. Cases in this
State are numerous where that word has
been used from the count of the guber-
natorial vote by the Legislature down to
the smallest town officers, and the ex-
clusion of Portland by Gov. Garcelon
and his council Is the first known in
stance In which q return had been in
validated thereby. Detailing the circum-
stances, Baker says they offered strong
presumptial proof that a desperate plot
was formed IN advance of the election
TO disfranchise Republican cities and
that in the case or four of them the plot
was successful.
ELLSWORTH, Me-, December 31.-At
an indignation meeting here last night
Ex Congressman Eugene Hale, referring
to the manner in which the returns were
canvassed, said it is gigantic and ap-
palling conspiracy to seize thegovernment
of Maine, and it does not mean to stop
until the electoral vote of 1880 is either
secured to the Democrats or tainted so
that it cannot be counted.
SAN FRANCISCO DEMOCRATS sYMPA-
THIZE WITH GARCELoN.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 81. =
A telegram on behalf of the Demo
Gratis of San Francisco was sent to Gov
ernor Garcelon, of Maine, to-day, in
dorsing his action in regard to the recent
election. The signatures to the despatch
include no prominent men of the Demo-
cratic party.

General NesOs.

The Louisiana Canl assing Board yesr
terday completed the official count of
the vote for the new Constitution. 1t
was adopted by majority of 81, ,148, and
the Debt Ordinance by 104S7 majority.
Senator Cameron, Chairman of the
National Republican Committee, yester
day issued a call for the meeting of the
National Republican Convention, to
nominate candidates for President and
Vice President, in Chicago, on Wednes
day, the I'd Of June next.
General Grant and party arrived at
AaRpsta, Ca, last night and were re
cefved by crowds of people at the depot
and escorted by the Mayor and Council.
men to the hotel. To- day there will be-
formal reception, and time permitting,
the distinguished party will be taken to
points of interest in the city. At all the
stations along the route the people,
white and colored, gathered and cheered
the General. At Charlotte deputation
of citizens invited General Grant to re-
main over for day, and at Columb bia
the Mayor and the Chief Justice of
South Carolina offered him banquet,
but the party could not accept the nos
pitalities offered. To day the party will
go to Beaufort, 3. O., to attend an eman
cipation celebration. From there they
will proceed to Savannah.
It appears that the Russian Mission
was offered to General Burnside. and.
on his declination, to Governor Van
Zandt, who was at first disposed to ae
cept it, but finally declined on Tuesday
His reasons are an unwilhngness to ex
pose Mrs. Van Zandt to the rigors of a
Russian climate, the injury to his pri
vate affairs which would result from his
going abroad, and bis inability to sup
port the expenses of the position, which
are not met by the salary attached.
