Now that the Maine furry is practically
over and the government of the State is in
the hands of the legally elected State
officers and Legislature, the absurdity of
the whole performance and the folly
of the performers begin to appear The
men who were engaged in this bold
scheme seem to have been reckless enough
for almost anything, even TO the point
of violence and blOOdshed, in carrying
it out. And there were times when the
peace of the State, and perhaps of the
Nation. seemed trembling in the balance before
their strange audacity and persistence. Any
open breach of the peace would have had the
effect to dignity the transaction riot or public
tumult, such as they clearly were DESTROYS to
nroyoke, would have helped them in confusing
the popular mind as to the real responsibility
for the disturbance. What they wanted more
than anything else during the whole proceeding
was some violent resistance to their pre-
tended authority. They made the most
of whatever had any appearance of hos
tile demonstration. The unorganized and
impulsive protest of the citizens of
Bangor against the transfer of ammuni-
ton and arms was used by them to
show to the people outside that the Re-
pubicans were disorderly and rotous :;
even the meeting of leading Republicans
ot Augusta to request the Governor ard Conn.
Gil 10 permit the usual access to the re-
turns, was talked of as an effort to intimdate
and buldoze these immaculate officials,
and the presence and protest OF Republicans
at the organization of the fraudulent Legisla-
ture were magnifed into a riotous demonstra-
ton,
They fairly ached for fight. From the be-
ginning of the business they went about like
Kilkenny Irishmen, daring anybody to tread on
their coat tails. When the magnitude OF the
contemplated outrage and the gross and
exasperating insults with which it was ac-
COMMANDED are considered, one cannot help
wondering at the remarkable self-contr0l and
patience exhibited by the Maine Repub-
licans. Nothing could have been finer than
their behavior throughout the whole affair. In
der proyocations such as very few communities
could have resisted they bore themselves with
perfect self-restrant, and left it to the regular
processes of the law to free them from a
most offensive and shameful usurpation.
They were never, in any of the steps
taken toward this end, either hasty
or rash; everything was done discreetly
and prudently, with the utmost GOODNESS
and deliberation. While the Garcelon gang
fumed and fretted and issued proclamations,
the Republicans went calmly and systemat-
ically about their work, and bided their time

only by the intervention of an English Consul.
Next he appeared in Mexico, where he fought the

gagged in trade and made money. He returned to
Italy as American Consul at Genoa. This post he

in full confidence that in the end rght anu
Justice must prevail.
Now that it is over, it would be well to
compile the situation OF the controversy ioi
the entertainment of the present and as
warning to future generations. The proela-
nation of the bogus Acting Governor
Lamson and his empty general orders
to General Chamberlain, discharglng MN
from the dury of protecting the Capltoi !;
the message of the bogus Governor smith
which he hurried to deliver before the decls-
ion of the Supreme Court should establish
him as nobody in particular, and ms formal
and Understanding orders to General Cham-
berlain the speeches in the bogus Senate and
House the proceedings before the bogus com
mittee in the pretended bribery cases, and par
ticularly the testimony Of the sweet-scented
nafriarch who. having never been elected. mis-
took the anxiety of a son who tried to persuade
him not to disgrace the family, for an attempt
at bribery and burst into tears over it; and
last though not least the proclamation
of the bogus Secretary of State, Sawyer
who, after announcing that this was
another leaf in the history of the warfare
"of wealth against labor" which would
presently compel the people TO purify
land regenerate their free institutions by a
"baptism of blood" stole the seal OF the
State and made off with il; all these should
be collected and preserved. They ran
on in the vein of high tragedy I'M
til the business was ended with the
installation of the rightful authorities, and
the election of the bogus Dretenders. The
riot and boodshcd that was necessary 10 make
it real tragedy were avoided, and it all
ended in a roaring farce. The bogus proclama-
tons and wasted general orders, and empty
messages begin already to have funny sound
in the light of the event. The utter absurdity
of them will grow more apparent with the
lapse of time
1t would not he strange if the bogus Lam
son. the pretendcr Smith and the blood-bap-
tier Sawyer should see the time when they
will be laughed out Of decent society on the
strength of quotations from the resonant pub
lie documents they have lately given to the
world.

Mr.. Chittendens speech yesterday in favor
of speedy withdrawal of the legal-tender
quality from grccnbacks, was the plea OF a
business man chatting under tue temporizlng
OF the politicians, and eager that the Govern
ment of the United States shall adopt the
highest commercial standards in the conduct
of its affairs. Mr. Chittenden brought out
sharply the fact that. in spite of all that had
been accomplished by resumptiOl, not one
dollar of the floating lega-tender debt has
been paid and that such redemption as
takes place practically consists only in is
suing new greenback for an old one. The
belief is strongly urged that resumption ia
not, and cannot be, stable and secure while
this state of things continues, and that there
is great danger" to the country Of being
plunged again into "a frightful vortex of in
flation and reputation" Mr.. Cbittenden
believes that the withdrawal of the legal-ten-
der quality should be made, TO take effect be-
fore next July that the coinage of silver
dollars should cease that all the silver bull
lion owned by the Government, with twenty
