Special Despatch to the PRESS.
AUGUSTA. Jan 22-The air was crisp but
the skies were bright this morning when the
representatives of the people entered the CAPT
tol. They came together under fresh inspira
ton, occasioned by the ringing speeches
Blaine, Hale, Boutelle and others of the pee
Piles champions made last night, and by neg
impulses occasioned by the magnificent ort-
pouring of the people which they beheld IS
sembled in Granite Hall to rejoice over tie
overthrow of an infamous conspiracy to stal
the Legislature and the State government.
Every Republican was in his seat when bth
branches were called to order, and while every
one was fully sensible that the rightful CIV
ernment had been inaugurated. backed by ne
mandates of the Supreme Court, their faes
wore an expression which plainly told tat
they should still continue to press onward IN
til Justice law and order were fully establih-
ed. No fusion members were seen excepting
Temple of Eddington, who says he has cone
to stay, and Knowles of Bradford, who DRIP
ped into the House before it was called or
der and had brief chat with some of tie
members before he left. Knowles was queE
ulous and fault-fnding because the Republi
cans had triumphed, and insisted that they had
entered upon false assumption of power.
The first business disposed of in the legisa-
ture today was the joint passage of the resolTe
providing for the purchase of State SELL
The resolve was approved without any delay
by the Governor, and new seal will be piO-
cured at once to supply the place of the one
stolen by the fusionists.
Mr.. Hale, at his own request, has been eI-
cused from serving on the bribery inyestigat
ing committee. This committee will enter up
on its duties at the earliest day, and Messrs
Swan and Hartman, the two fusionists who
make the charges of bribery will be afforded
every opportunity to prove them, or stand con-
victed of falsehood and perjury.
