Boston, Jan. 1.-THE HeyeIG'S Augusta spe-
cial says: Tie police force on duty in the
State house has apparently lot been increased,
bat III occasional opening of the doors of a
room on the second floor used for headquarters
reveals the fact shat 1T is null of resolute look
ing men wearins badges. Gen. Chamberin's
staff is ali on duly, and Mayor Nash has been
present all he morning. The mayor regards
Gov. Smiths orders as harmless exhibition
of rhetoric. What can he do asked the
mayor ard, answering himself, said: Smith
has To authority which anybody will respect.
He has 10 support from the
preme court, and get no aid
from the militia sheriff.. He does
not control the State treasury, and whatever
funtS he uses must come from private sources.
He has no arms, and in fact it may be said has
no backing whatever of an official character.
If he attempts to turn Chamberlin out of the
state house by force, his force will be the forcs
OF n mob, add the mob would have an exceed
lGgy warm reception here" When asked if
be believed there you'd be any breach of the
peace, the mayor said: Certainly not, on our
part. Ii any aca OF violence is committed, it
must come from the other side. We are here
protected both legislatures in the peaceful oc-
cupation of the legislative halls, and propose
to interfere III no manner So long Us they do not
resort to yiuicuca."
ROTH HOUSES MET
at ., according TO Adjournment and after read
Ing the Journals too1 u recess till /. 1t is
doubtful if a quorum is preseut-ln the house
at Least. Two members have gone home and
40 aral marc MT ba
hall.
It is understood the Fusioaists have tele-
graphed for the opinion OF Gen. Butler Hon.
Mr.. Bradbury and other well known lawyers,
to Offset the opinion OF the supreme court, and
expect replies in season to lay them before the
members of their legislature upon reassem-
bling Tuesday next. The Fusionists are quiet
and will not talk mitch. There is report that
they will endeavor to compromise. but it is of
doubtful authority. Some Fusionists have
certainly weakened A. least two members
OF the house have said they would not resist
the decision of the supreme court and the re-
marks of the senator from Aroostoo&, yester-
day, indicate that he is Of the same DISPOSE
ton.
The hotels crowded with men, mostly
Republicans, who have come here from Ban
COR, Watervilie, Bath and other large cities,
ready to take a hand in case of necessity.
At the end of the recess in the house, Mir.
ommending an application to Congress for aid
in repeiling attempts, under the decisions of
the supreme court, to drive this body from
the State house.
George w. Hiil of Corinth We stand,
to-day, in very critical condition. The clergy,
the money power and the courts were against
u.s." He believed some measures should be
adopted for the submission of further uues-
tons to the court, giving a fair statement of
the case, and hoped some member would sus-
gest means whereby this might be effected.
He noticed that several members, who yester-
day expressed their willingness to shed their
last drop of blood in defending our rights,
were absent to-day, (spplause and laughter)
but he believed there were sensible men
enough left to treat this question with the at
tention its gravity deserved.
Mr.. ingalls,, of Wiscasset, offered point of
order for the appointment of a committee of
five, to be joined by such as the senate may see
fit, to take into consideration the situation of
affairs, and report to the house the best method
of procedure. The supreme court has decided
set of questions submitted by another and
irregular body, that this body was not legally
constituted. He thought set of questions
giving fair statement of the case submitted.
We want peace, but we want our rights. Let
US consult together as men knowing our rights
and determined to maintain them.
Mr.. Knowles, of Naples, said he believed the
decision of the court was partisan one, but
he
DID NOT WANT To RESIST
by force. There were other and peaceable
means of meeting this crisis.
MIR. Benner, of Waldoboro, said his position
was the same as Mr.. Hills, and he heartily en-
dorsed his remarks.
MIR. Bradbury, of Norway, said: We are here
legally and lawfully, but are in perilous times
and should act with caution. 1t was the part
of wise and brave men to submit to the inevi-
table. Ii the court has been used as an instru-
ment to deprive us of our rights, it is crime
not for US to stand as honest men. 4 revolu-
ton has come by action of the court. Against
that court We have NJ appeal except to the peo-
pie. Let us go bach to them. The ballot
box is still left to us. 20 that we must ap-
peal. He heartily approved of the proposed
order and hoped it would pass.
Mr.. Robinson, of Thomaston, also favored
the passage of this order. -
MIR. Cushman. of Sherman, still advocated a
resort to Congress.
Mr.. Perry, of Camden. favored the order in a
speech of some length. Mr.. Perry's speech
