the Fusionists was held last night.
Speeches wero made upon the condi-
ton OF affairs, proclainling adhesion to
the constitution and laws as thcy under-
stand them. They held in rcsucct the
opinion of tho court. Should it be
found they were in majority in the
Legislature 1t should not be understood
that they would invade the rights of
the minority. The meeting was har-
1nonious and q determination express
cd to organize the Legislature accord
ing to tho certificates issued. General
Chamberlain was summoned to consult
with the Governor and it was decided
that there was no necessity for cmplov-
ing military force OH "Wednesday; that
the police would be sufficient.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Jan. 6.-Mr. Volcr,
Of Pennington, the counted in member,
persists in refusing his certificate, and
will decline to participate in tho pro-
cccdings ofthc Legislature. Mr.. Sprau,e
of Versie, still adheres to his determina-
ton to keep away from the Legislature,
and three other Fusion members are
known positively to have refused their
certificates, and one or two arc dctain-
cd home by sickness. The remainder
arc here participating in caucuscs,
but it is not known whether all will
take part in the organization. Mr..
| Hobson, countcd-in Senator from
Lincoln, says that he intends to do
what is right and follow the Green
back party, and that lie shall take his
seat and Immediately make motion to
raise committee to investigate the
election in Lincoln county. Fifty OK
tra men were placed in the State House
this morning about one O'Clock, and it
is stated that 100 more armed men
Will be placed there tonight. A par
tial organization of the State militia is
announced by Gen. Chamberlain. Pc

Another interesting occasion was
the rendition Of "Pmafore" by an
amateur troupe before the lunatics.
After two very successful perform
anccs in town, the company repaired
to the Asylum. Several hundred i'll
mates attended and manifested the
greatest interest. A better behaved
and Quietcr audience was never seen.
Joe Busby become little noisy in his
expressions OF admiration Of Josephine
and the sisters and cousins and aunts,
and was taken off to tho "grecn
room,' where he held a private lcvec
among the performers. One old wo-
man in the audience waved her hand
kerchicf enthusiastically when Ralph
and Josephine sang "Oh joy, oh rap
turc," after the Admiral had joined
their hands; but there was absolutely
nothing to interrupt the performance.
The shrill cat calls Of rude urcllins
were conspicuous by their absence.
The Georgia Asylum is Il model in-
stitution, and well illustrates the great
advance in science and humanity since
the days when lunatics were confined
In strait jackets and tortured in sweat
boxes. DR.. Powell and his assistant,
DR.. Kcnan, arc evidently thoroughly
convcrsant with tho best modes of

MUCH SCIENTIFIC SPECULATION has
been caused by the recent disaster in
Scotland, in which nearly mile of
bridge over the Firth Of Tay was
blown down, carrying with it train
and several hundred passengers to the
bottom Of the waters. AS not soul
escaped no facts are known. The
architect claims that the wind, Which
was blowing at the rate of forty-two
miles al hour. blew the train off the
track and against the lccward girdcrs
OF the bridge, causing m unequal
strain and giving way. The whole
Drldgo WAS over two miles in lcurth
and was considered masterpiece Of
ingenuity. There is something horri-
bic in tho idea otscvcral hundred souls,
locked securely in the cars, as is the
custom in England, being dropped
with the bridge, cighty-nvc feet
through the air into thirty-tivc feet of
water, and meeting instant death.
