AUGUSTA. Jan. 5.-The governor and coun-
Gil held no sessions for business to-day, but
have been in consultation in regard to the
course to be pursued. The guard is still
maintained at the State house with some 200
men in the room opposite the agricultural
room. There are sixty stand of arms
stacked ready for immediate use. The eye

passing through or leaving the building.

civ, There has been perfect order. The
MAYOR has twenty-four extra policemen on
duty.
QUORUM FOR THE FUsIoNIsTs.
Neither side has absolutely determined on
the course which is not subject to radical
amendment. This much may be said, how
ever, that the Fuslonlsts have
a quorum and am resortlng TO
all possible means to bring about results.
This afternoon, a deputy was dispatched
across the country to Harrington, to en-
deavor to persuade MIR. Water, who has pub
licly refused to accept his certificate to at
tend the session tomorrow.
REPUBLICAN CLAIMS.
Sprout, of Portland, in his own behalf and
that of his colleague, will ask of the COVER
nor and council certificates as members of
the legislature under the decision of the
judges. Capt. Goss, of Bath, and the Re-
publican members elected in disfranchised
cities, will ask for the same right. They
claim that whatever may be done with the
towns, the case of cities is clear and unmis-
takeable. Every Republican deprived of his
seat is either here or will be here, and at the
present moment but five Fusionists can be
counted on who will stay away.
cAUoUsEs.

have been received in large numbers from
Democrats beyond the State urging submis-
sion to the opinion of the supreme court.
Mai. Gen. Chamberlin came to the city last
evening. being summoned by the governor.
Legislative caucus will be held tomorrow
evening. The Republicans will probably
nominate James A. Locke, of Cumberland,
for president of the Senate, and Geo. E.
Week, of Augusta, for speaker of the House.
The fusionists will present as candidate
for president James Il. Talbot, of Washing
ton, and for speaker Thos. NJ. Plaisted, of
Lincoln.
REPUBLICAN CONSULTATION.
The Republican members elect held a
meeting for consultation this evening which
was largely attended, and the feeling was
confidently expressed that the verdict of the
court had made them masters of the situa-
ton, and that sufficient number of those
certifcated, but not elected, will refuse
to act to prevent quorum
assembling until the rightful members are
admitted to their seats. The following COM
mittee was appointed on future line of &C
ton: Locke of Cumberland and Coou4bs of
Hancock, of the senate, and Hale of Ellis
worth, Young of Brunswick, and Weeks of
Augusta, of the house.
The following resolution was unanimously
passed:
Resolyed That the committee on order of
business just appointed are hereby instructed
to call upon Gov. Garcelon at the earliest prac-
ticable moment to insist that the armed men
and munitions of war now In the State house
shall be promptly removed, in order that the
free legislature of q free people may meet as
they always have met in the State of Maine,
under the protection of law and not under in
timidation of force.
