Augusta, %. -Governor Davis said
to night, that he had not felt single
regret since he had taken the decisive
step of calling troops to the state
house. The step had been urged
upon him for several days by bis mil
itary advisers, but not until the evil
dence OF a conspiracy to seize the state
house had accumulated TO O startling
amount did he feel the least justified
in exercising his prerogsiive as COM
mander-in-chief, and then only to
protect public property and uphold
the laws. The strain upon the repub-
lican patience has been great through
out the whole controversy, but he
could see no shade of arbitrary action
in employing the citizen soldiery Of the
state to protect the government recog-
uized by the supreme court. When all
evidence of conspiracy was ready for
the press, the public at large will see
how wise this action has been. Tue
governor was gratified to rec how uni
versally the press OF the country OF
both parties had upheld the right in
Maine.
sentinels were, tonight, placed
outside the state house, and the cor
ridors are all guarded. Col. White,
of Bangor, was telegrsphed, to night,
to guard the state arsenal of that city.
The presence OF military at the state
house somewhat excites the populace,
who murmur st military rule, and
there are Indications of a movement
to intimidate. The republicans
claim that it was the presence of
troops that brought the fusionists to
their senses and induced them to re-
fer the case to the supreme court.
About half the force is on duty at
once !; the whole tUrce could be
brought into line in q moment.
There is patrol about town watching
for apv suspicious movements, and
trusty men are posted in every town
to give instant information in case of
any threatening demonstrations. The
military and executive are both in
readiness for any movement of the
kind.
a drummer, who has just been
through the state, says he sold ZOO
revolvers and fifty rifles. There are
no indications of an outbreak at this
time, though there is considerable
activity among a certain class.
Henry Ingalls,, of Wiscasset, vent
TO Bangor this afternoon, the bearer
OF the questions from the fusion legis
lature to Chief Justice Appleton.
Boston, q. - RerGlG's Augusta:
There is much grumbling among the
fus;onists, who are charging that ex
Gov. Garcelon traded with the repub-
licana and plotted with Gen. Cham
berlain to deliver the state house to
the republicans. Garcelon, they say,
went home prior to Chamberlain's |
,aking possession Of the state house
and then made trade with Congress
man Frye, who had been commits
stoned to make some trade with |
Garcelon. The bargain was success
iul, and Chamberlain went into the
tate house. This is the talk OF
iuSfOuISls lO-ulShts Juliet sDSClhiS
say the state house authorities state
that they are now sure this was to
have been the night sfor a fusion
on the state house. They
say they have intercepted fusionist
dispatches showing that the fusionist
governor was preparing to muster bis
forces. The plan was to move up to
Augusta from all points. From
175 men we're to have
,ome on the late Pullman train from
Boston. All this intelligence Is
asserted to be confirmed by repu5li-
IAN advices just received.
Bangor, 24.-Lieutenan. Colonel
White. commanding the first regi
nent of the militia, has returned
rom Augusta. tonight, and under
rders from Governor Davis, assumed
barge Of the state arsenal. The
lsionist arsenal keeper having re-
used to obey orders, except from
NTH, the state property here will be
ept under guard by Col. White.
