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:

Magazine Notices.

The January Scribner opens with COM
plete and spirited account of the United States
Life-Saving Service, the text Of which is
written by Capt. j. II. Merryman, Inspector of
United States Revenue Marine; the drawings
which are remarkable for their vigor and cor
rectness are by an artist new to Scribner, Mr.
M. j. Burns. A foil to this paper deals with
the means for the destruction OF life, viz,
American Arms and Ammunition, by Col. w.
c. Church of the Army and Navy Journal.
The object of this paper is to set forth the re-
markable extent to which Europe is using
American material of war, as well as the rea-
sons for the superiority of homo manufactures.
Another paper by an expert is Mr.. E. P. Roe's
third paper on Strawberry Culture, with large
and brilliant illustrations by w. H. Gibson,
including pictures of large number Of varie-
ties, in which the distinguishing features are
carefully preserved, the berries being drawn
life size. The paper ON the technical methods
of the art schools of the metropolis, printed
year ago in Scribner, is now supplemented by
an account of Young Artists Life in New York
by Mr.. W. Fl. Bishop. The illustrations
are full of incident and Bohemianism, and
are contributed by the Salmagundi Sketch

extracts from the journal of William Ellery,

The Maine State Officers.

or course the interest in the Maine muddle
would be much less if the political complexion
OF the State government for the next year did
not depend upon the settlement There hav-
ing been no election of Governor by the people.
though the Republican candidate came within
a few hundred votes of majority over all, the
election of the Governor must be by the Legis-
lature under the constitution. The Governor
and Council, in canvassing the votes for Sena-
tors and Representatives, have given certifi-
Gates to those persons who, according to their
view of the returns, appear to have prin,G
facie right to seats in the two houses. But the
Governor has himself acknowledged, what all
the world knows, that the two houses are the
final judgee Of the qualifications Of their own
members, and considering the number of con-
tested cases, the composition Of the true Legis-
lature OF the State cannot be known until they
are settled. Therefore, though the Legisla-
ture can organize itself, because, without
organization it cannot act, it has no right to
perform any other function until its own in
tegrity is established. The Legislature upon
which, among many other things, the election
as ascertained and decided by the two houses,
each acting for itself, and not the body of men
who have received certificates of election from
the Governor and Council, which merely gives
them prina fdcie right to the seat. The
same is true of the other State officers which
are ordinarily elected by the Legislature, for
it is no Legislature until the qualifications of
its members are determined. And, if this be
true in regard to the election of State officers
it is also true with reference to any other act
which the Legislature is capable of per-
forming. The first thing to be done by the
Maine Legislature, evidently, is to find out
who are it's members; and that this business
may be expedited, and that the will of the
majority may prevail without ans disturbance
of the machinery of the government, Mr. Far
ley's suggestion, that every member who has
received certificate against an undisputed
plurality of votes shall at once resign, seems
to us reasonable, just and patriotic. The bus-
ness of self-government is sometimes delicate
and exacting, and this is especially the case
when the constituted authorities allow par
tsan considerations to overcome equitable
principles and respect for the popular will.
1t will be triumph for the self-governing
people of Maine if individuals come forward
and straighten out the snarl made by official
action. We do not envy the man who will
insist upon holding an Office to which he was
not elected on the Governor and Councils GER
tificate The knowledge that he is not the
choice of the people he assumes to represent
cannot be conducive to self-respect, and his
share in the defiance Of the public will, ought
to disgrace him for all time in the eyes OF his
fellow citizens.

The Maine Conspiracy.

To the Editor ofthe Ne,o York Times:
The question which naturally arises to the
mind of every man having any respect for de-
csncy or honesty when considering the ener-
NOUS fraud against Republican institutions at
tempted by Gov. Garcelon and his Council is
this: Is there no remedy at law for such trans
parent rascality? Twsnty-three years ago,
when the shoulder-strikers and ballot-box stuff
ers of San Francisco got the control of the
elections, and by counting in their own meu
as Judges and Inspectors Of Election, so that
it mattered not what votes were cast, the Ring
candidates were always elected, the people
arose in their might and took thepower into
their own hands, hanging some and banishing
others of the most notorious offenders. This
was harsh remedy, and it is unlikely that it
will ever be resorted to in any OF our Eastern
States. But what is the remedy in such cases?
II weak and wicked Governor has associated
with him set of unscrupulous knaves, who
have no regard for law or justice, and they
count out those whom the people have elected
and count in those they have rejected, what
remedy have they who are so defrauded?
This is not the first time such a fraud has
been attempted even in Northern State
IWenty-lOur years ago kiooo-oJ tue peopie ol
the State of Wisconsin elected Coles Bashford
Governor by decided majority. But the re-
turning board counted out enough Bashford
votes to elect the Democratic candidate. He
was not inaugurated, however, il 1 recollect
Alright. The Supreme Court of the State was
invoked to interfere and the case was brought
before it by a writ of quo warranto. The cour-
made short work of the pretensions of tt
Democratic claimant, and Gov. Bashford W
duly inaugurated. Now, have not the peop
of Maine the same remedy against smil
fraud? If so, why is it not resorted to? II
by the Eastern papers that some OF the alb
lawyers in that section insist that that is Ia,
proper recourse for the defrauded pa--
But why do they not resort to it? Su
was never intended by the trainers
Constitution of the State to leave it
any wrong could not be redressed by APP
the proper tribunals-least of all, or
should be subversive of the whole &
ment.
1t is to be observed that the Den.

The Opinion of the Court.

The unanimous opinion of the Justices OF
the Supreme Court on the questions sub
mitted to them by Gov. Garcelon appears in
full in our news columns. 1t speaks for
itself in unmistakable language, and stands
in no need Of comment or elucidation. All
the points are decided against the Governor
and Council. 1t is affirmed in brief that
the full effect should be given to the nat
ural and obvious meaning of the returns,
that they are not to be strained by idle tech
nicalities, nor their intent to be distorted by
carping and captious criticism. Such con-
struction must be given to the official acts
of municipal officers as will best comport
with the meaning and intention of the par
ties, as derived from fair and honest in
depreciation of the language used, to sustain
rather than to defeat the will Of the people
and disfranchise the citizens.
Such is the opinion of the high and un-
partisan tribunal on the question. 1t is
the duty of all good, citizens, governors and
governed, to heed it and carry it into effect
so far as lies within their power. We do
not permit ourselves to doubt that the duty
will be discharged.
To those who have received commissions
or certificates, which are now authorita-
lively declared to have heen improperly is
sued, the path of duty is clear. If any man
has been honestly in doubt as to the propri-
ETY. Or decency of taking office under snch
circumstances, he can be honestly in doubt
u1l. L: 10, of
has spoken clearly, definitely and unani-
mously in the matter. 1t is nota question
of politics but of morals. No good citizen,
no honest and self-respecting man will take
a seat in the Legislature under a certificate
which he knows has been wrongfully grant
ed him. Those who have rightfully received
certificates will assemble in the legislative
rooms at Augusta and their very first act
will be to admit to seats those who have
been elected but have not received certif-
Gates. Then the organization of the houses
will proceed i'll an orderly and decent
fashion becoming to American freemen.
Any person seeking to prevent or obstruct
such result is disturber of the peace and
will be punished accordingly. To even
imagine different result would do a grave
injustice to the men who have received the
false certificates. The little gang of desper-
ate conspirators who have contrived this
wicked plot may seek to protect themselves
by wild attempts to carry out their original
designs, but no good man will wish and no
prudent man will dare to involve himself in
their ruin by becoming their instruments.
The Portland daily press., 1880-01-05

THE latest from Solon Chase is that he
has not repudiated the action of the Cover
nor and Council, but says he thinks practi-
cal injustice may have resulted from strict
adherence to the letter of the constitution
and laws. He adds eve can't afford to have
this happen again. This calls to mind the
verdict of the Texas jury: ''Not guilty, but
don't do it again.

THE Cumberland Globe reports a serious
dissension in the fusion ranks. 1t is on the
lobster question. The last Legislature passed
an act forbidding the taking of Holsters un-
der ten inches in length. Now the Green

tail as part.of the ten inches and the DEM
ocrats say the fringe don't count. The Globe
suggests that the matter be referred to Mr..
Pillsburv for arbitration.
