Boston, Jan. 25-A special from Au-
| guSta says that governor Davis said, to-
| night, that he had not felt a single regret
| since he had taken the decisive step of
| calling the troops to the state house. The
| step had been urged upon him for seven
al days by his military advisers, but no,
until evidence of the conspiracy to seize
the state house had accumulated To Il
startling amount, did he feel justified in
exercising his prerOgatives as cOmman-
der-in-chief, and then only to protect the
public property and uphold the laws.
The strain upon the Republican institu-
tons had been great throughout t.sc
whole controversy, but he could see 30
shadow of arbitrary action in emplovin =
the citizens of the state to protect the
government recognized by the supreme
| court, when all the evidences OF a COO,
spiracy was ready tor the press. The
public at large will see how wise the &c.
ton has been. The governor was graft
fled to see how universally the press OF
the country of both parties had upheld
the right in Maine. Governor Store of
Mississippi, has officially recognized gov.
= ernor Davis.
