berlin, Elaine and Other Republican
Leaders.
AUGUSTA Me, Jan. l1.-Ger. Chamberlain
will pay no attention to the order of Gov.
Smith taking away his command of the milltls.
He will remain in the place assigned him, he
says, until the governor is legally elected and
qualified. Democrats talk threateulnsiy and
condem the decision OF the court.
BOTH HOUSES MET
at Q, according to adjournment, ard after read
ing the Journals took recess till |. 1t is
doubtful if quorum is present-in the house
at least Two members have gone home, and
se5eral have not put in an appearance i'll the
hall.
1t is understood the Fusionists have tele-
gyaphed for the opinion of Gen. Butler, Hon.
Mr.. Bradbury and other well known lawyers,
u offset the opinion of the supreme court, and
expect replies in season to lay them before the
members of their legislature upon reassem-
ding Tuesday next. The Fusionists are quiet
and will not talk much. There is a 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 Aroostook, yester-
day indicate that he is of the same DISPOSE
ton.
The hotels are crowded with men, mostly
Republicans, vino have come here from Ban
gor. Waterville, Bath and other large cities
ready TO take hand in case of necessity.
At the end of the recess in the house, Mr..
Cushman, of Sherman, made speech rec
ommending an application to Congress for aid
in repelling attempts, under the decisions of
the supreme court, to drive this body from
the State house.
George W. Hill, of C,riath: We stand,
to-day, IN a very critical condition. The clergy,
the money power and the courts were against
US" He believed some measures should be
adopted fer the submission of further ques-
tons to the court, giving fair statement of
the case, and hoped some member would sug-
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 today, applause sud laughter)
but he believed there were sensible men
enough left to treat this question with the at
tentiOn its gravity deserved.
Mr.. Ingalls, of Wlscasset, cffered 4 pc int of
order for the appointment of 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
on Z set of questions submitted by another and
irregular body, that this body not legally
constituted. He thought set OF questions
giving & fair statement of the case submitted.
We want peace, but VIC want our rights. Let
US consult together as men knowing our rights
and determined to maintain them.
Mr.. Knowles, of Naples, said be believed the
decision of the court was a partisan one, but
he
DID NOT WANT TO RESIST
by force. There were other and peaceable
means of meeting this crisis.
Mr.. Benner of Waldoboro, said his position
was the same as Mr. Hills, and he heartily en-
dorsed his remarks.
Mr.. Bradbury, of Norway said: We are here
legally and lawfully, but are in perilous times
and should act with caution. 1t vas the part
of wise and brave men to submit to the inevi-
table. IF the court has been used as an instru-
IHeut to deprive us of our rights, il is crime
not for us to stand as honest men. A revolu-
ton has come by action of the court. Against
that court we have no appeal except to- the peo-
pie. Let US 90 back to them. The ballot
hnx is still left to US. 20 that must APP
peal He heartily approved of the proposed
order and hoped it would pass.
Mr.. Robinson, of ThomastuD, also favored
the passage of this order.
Nj. Cushman, of Sherman, still advocated
resort to Congress.
Mr.. Perry, of Camden, favored the order in
speech of some length. Mr.. Perry's speech
was greeted with applause mingled with misses
from the year OF the hall
Mr.. Bradbury of Norway, protested against
the Kisses breach of decorum, and hoped for
the good name of the State the sound would
never be heard here again.
NJ. ingalls, moved amendment to the
order leaving the committee to take independ-
ent action.
The order as amended was passed and the
speaker appointed Messrs. Ingalls, of Wiscasset,
Robinson of Thomaston, Wilson of Oreno.
Whitman of Harrison, and Hill of Exter,
members of the committee. Notice was given
that this committee would meet at the
Augusta House Immediately after the House
adjourned.
Messrs. Stiles of Wesjbrook. Louis of
Springfield. Staples of Parsonstield, snd Hus-
sey of Brooks. made brief speeches on the
situation.

BITTER FEELINGS AT sAco.
Boston. Dec. 1.-THE HeralGS Saco special
says: Ex-Secretary of State Cove arrived
from Augusta on the midnight train and states
that Joseph L. Smith declares L have been
chosen Governor, and by God I'll be Govern
or The most of the Fusionls.s applaud this
and laugh ut the decision of the supreme
court, and say they will support Smith in what
ever he may DO. On the other hand the Re-
publicans are no less resolute to adhere. at any
cost to what they say is right and law. There
is no installing the fact that deep and bitter
feelings are being engendered, and no one
knows what an hour may, bring forth. Repeat
ed declarations of Fusionists in authority that
their government will be removed, in case of
fighting, to this ci,y, where public officers will
protect them, cause also much interest here.
