: report 10 the house the best method 0
proceeding. The supreme court had de
cided, on set questions submitted by an
other and irregular body, that this BODY
was not legally constituted. He thought
a statement of the case might be sub
mitted. We want peace, but we wan
our rights. Let US consult together a.
men knowing our rights and determined
TO maintain them.
Knowl-s, 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.
Beuner, of Waldoboro, said his posi-
ton was the same as Hill's, and he
heartily en6orse1 his remarks,
Bradbury, of Norway, said we were
here legally and lawfully, but were in
perilous times, and should act with eau
ton. It was the part of wise and brave
man 10 submit 10 the inevitable. If the
court has been used as an instrument TO
| deprive us Of our tights, it is a crime not
! for US to stand as honest men. Revolu-
! ton hiss come By the action of the court.
Against that court we have no appeal,
except TO the people. Let US 60 back to
them. The ballot box is still left to US.
To that we must appeal. He heartily
approved the proposed order, and hoped
it would pass.
Robinson, of Thomaston, also favored
the passage of this order.
Cushman, of Sherman, still advocated
resort to Congress.
Perry, Of Camden, favored the order in
q speech of some length. Perry's speech
was greeted with applause, mingled with
Kisses, from the rear ofthe hall.
Bradbury, of Norway, protested
against the Kisses as q breach of decorum,
aud hoped for the good name of the state
the sound would never be heard here
again.
Ingalls, moved an amendment to the |
order limiting the committee to members |
Of the house, and leaving the senate to |
take independent action.
The order, as amended, was passed, and |
the speaker appointed Ingalls,, of Wiscas-
sett, Robinson, of Thomsston, Wilson, of |
Orona, Whitman OF Harrison, and Hill,
Of Exeter, members of the committee.
Notice was given that this committee
would meet at the Augusta House i'm
after the house adjourned.
Both houses then met in joint conven-
ton, and the oath of Office was admins
tered 10 Chase, Rust, Priest and Wild
den, councillors elect.
In the senate an order for the appoint
ment of committee of five to take into
the state Of affairs existing,
and to report as early as possible on some
course of procedure to be adopted, was
offered by Senator Patten, of Penobscott,
and adopted.

The Journals Augusta special says: ],
Y. Lynch, captain of the Montgomery
Guards, in reply to General Chamber
aims circular to company commanders,
elegraphed him that he should obey his
,rders until decision of the court was
siven. Every company except Old Town
say the same.
The HeraLd'S Saco special says Ex-
of State Cove, arrived
rom Augusta on the midnight train, and
tateS that j, i. Smith declares, 81 have
been chosen governor, and by God I'll
De governor" His friends applaud him
md laugh at the decision of the supreme
,ourt, and say they will support Smith
n whatever he may do. On the other
lsnd republicans are no less resolute to
Idhere at any cost to what they say is the
light side of the law. There is no mis-
aking the fact that deep and bitter
ceilings are being .eDgendered and no
me knows what an hour may bring forth.
Repeated declarations of fusionists in
that their government will re-
move IN case of fighting to this city,
where public officers will protect them,
.aused also much interest here.
The HerGyd's Augusta special says:
The republican house was called to order
It 2 20 by speaker Weeks, and prayer
vas offered, Representatives hall was
backed with men, every inch Of space
the seats being occupied by
landing mon while the galleries we're
old mass of human beings. The taking
Up of passes at the outer doors was
bandoned at this time, police being re-
moved 10 the foot of the staircases and
he doors OF the houses. Just ss prayer
vas ended Blaine came upon the floor Of
he house and was received with the ut
most enthusiasm, men getting upon
hairs and desks and waving hats and
handkerchief, while they renithe air with
heers and shouts. Business was entirely
uspended for few minutes and it was
ONE time before anything like order
on be restored. Lot Morrill,, and Eu-
enc Hale followed Blaine and received a
ree'ing scarcely less cordial though not
0 loud. Republican members were all
resent with few exceptions. Knowles,
f Bradford, and Temple, OF Ellington,
lsion members, came in and took the
ests they had occupied in the first house
nd were greeted with applause. The
esding of The house journals being con-
luded, on motion, the speaker appointed
ourteen members with such of the senate
5 may join, committee on gubernatorisl
-otes, Knowles, of Bradford, wished to
'e excused, and Cutler, of Bangor, was
ppOinted in his place. The rules of last
ear were adopted. 1t was ordered that

Mug at 10 am.
Bedford, 17.-There is much excite
nent in this city over an alleged attempt
0 remove the arms from the armory to
be republican headquarters, without
uthority, and the counter charge that
usionists intend to abstract the arms.
The excitement is groundless, as neither
Darty intends 10 remove the arms, but
prevent others from doing so, if re-
