THE MILITIA.

Ex-Gov. Chamberlain's View Of the Du-
ties of the Governor and Of the Sol
diers.
NEW YORK, Dec. I.-A correspondent OF
the Herald reports the following conversation
with General Chamberlain:
"You may think it strange" said the Gen.
eral, that don't possess all the facts rela-
ting to the Bangor matter, being as 1 am
Major General of the State militia. | was
elected by last years Legislature, but owing
to my opposition To the present militia laws
and other causes, never accepted, although L
might and can qualify at any time. l did
not wish to throw the honor back on the Leg
islature, but was equally averse to taking
command of body of men with such q la
inevitable lack of proper organization, so 1
have never been assigned to command
"Would the Governor be justified in calling
on the militia to preserve order and assist in
carrying out the results of his and the Coun-
ellis action?'
Undoubtedly he would have the power
and the right to do it: but he onght not to do
it, in my opinion, unless he had the very best
assurances that there was to be a riot which
the municipal authorities could not suppress.
am in favor of exhausting all other methods
before resorting to the military arm, but if no
other course is open, if the municipal author
tiles are unable to preserve the peace, then it
is not only the right but the duty of the Exec
utive to call on all available assistance, The
lature Is set down by the constitution for Jan
uary 7, and he must not let any outside infu-
ence interfere or interrupt it. All good cit
liens and all militiamen will answer his call
when made for the suppression of mob VIC
lence. and even, think, for the seating of the
Legislature which will convene by virtue of
questionable certificates"
eff the Governor called on you to qualify
and take command of the militia called out
would you obey?"
~ will answer that the volunteer militia of
the State as now constituted is not proper
command for major general. 1t is differed
now quite Sufficiently"
Surprising it were what you wanted, and
you were in command, would you responi?"
81 am inclined to think I would. i have
enough respect for law and order to make me
obey the commands of my superior officer
"Do you think the volunteer militia will be
prompt to turn out if called?'
Yes. they must do so; they have no dis
erection in the matter"

There continues to be steady but moderate de-
mand for Wool, and the year closes on firm but
quiet market. There is no pressure to sell and we
never knew more confident feeling ON the part of
holders.
In New York it is almost unnecessary to say that
the attendance of buyers has been very small
throughout the week. that trade has been exceed
ingly dull All, however, agree in calling the feel
ing quite strong and confident as before, and in
every instance where negotiations have been at
tempted the basis has been upon full former rates.

AT THE CAPITAL.
The Governor Decides to Submit
Certain Questions to the Court.
WHAT THEY ARE NOT YET
KNOWN.

AUGUSTA, Dec. 31.--The Governor has pre-
submit to the supreme court in response to
the letter of Mr.. Morrill,. The questions will
cover the essential points in Mr.. Morrill's COM
munication, but are not to be made public I'M
til placed in the hands of the court. There
will be no further communication with Mr..
Morrell.
Mr. Gould, the Governors legal adviser
says the constitution authorizes only the sub
mission of questions of law to the court, not
questions of fact, which may indicate the
point of departure from Mr. Morril's pro-
gramme.
The questions were sent to the Court this
afternoon.
SECOND DESPATCH.
1t is known that at late hour this evening
the Governor and Council concluded the pre-
paration of series of questions to be sub
mitted to the Supreme Court, having worked
upon the questions all day. They declined to
furnish any copy of the list of the questions
to the Associated Press or to the Republican
journals of Maine, and consequently we are
unable to present them. 1t is understood,
however, that the number of distinct PROPOSE
tions submitted to the court is about a dozen.
1t may be inferred from the known opinions
and methods of the gentlemen who have con-
cooked this plot that the questions are submit
ted in such form as would naturally preclude
the court from giving any opinion touching
the equities of the issues that are raised. The
questions suggested by ex-Gov. Morrill, were
framed in a manner conspicuously fair and
adapted to enable the court to review all the
points legally affecting the case. 1t will be
surprising if it does not turn out these ques-
lions are so framed as to restrict the judges to
the narrowest Interpretation of the Constitu-
ton and statues.
Every one acquainted with law knows that
it is possible for question to be asked which
will require a certain answer, while at the
same time the question might be so differently
put that another answer might be given as
consistent with right Interpretation of the
law as the former answer, either question rela-
ting to specific point
The Governor and the Military.
The military officers summoned from Ban
gor had an interview with the Governor today,
the interview having reference to an enquiry
concerning the calling out of the militia COM
panies should they be needed. The officers
promised to obey the orders of the GoAernor,
while he is Governor. The Governor spoke in
strong language in opposition to calling out
the military companies, unless it should be-
come necessary

3 In this one year under Democratic Governor
fatal defects spring up in 81 different districts at
once and all the Republican side. That this has
been done by cunningly devised plans, prepared
atidayits protests and illegal and &c parte
testimony is only cumulative evidence OF the con-
spracy to defeat and overthr the will of the peo
pie as expressed at the polls. 1t reserved for
this Governor and his Council to be the first Exec
utive of Maine who have ever been charged wit h
having abused their great Office by reversing the re-
suit of popular election.

Attest:

In addition to this new form of blank for cleo
ton returns, with its misleading lines for sigma
lures it is also known to be fact not denied indeed
that warrants for elections sent out to the
various cities by f. II. Cove, Secretary of State, d-
rected to the city marshals. The law requires them
marshal is a municipal and not a State officer, it
might have been said that election for State Off
GERS held under his warrant was not legal. The
form of this warrant new unprecedented and ex-
traordinary throws upon the Secretary of State Mr.
Cove, and the printer, Mr.. 4. F. Pillsbury the
onus of providing it, AS it stands taken in connec
ton with the other misleading blank, it affords
strong presumptive proof that desperate plot was
formed in advance of the election to disfranching
the Republican Cities and that in the of four
of them the plot was successful.

In Washington county, entitled to two Senators,
Alden Bradford, Republican, counted out and
the certificate given to James r. Talbot by invali-
dating the vote of Cherryfeld as described in the
case Of its representative vote. The gCouncil MAIN
tanned that if of the selectmen was an alien at
the time of his election the board could never have
been legally organized, and could not therefore
make a legal return. But in the town of Cutler in
the same county, it was shown that one of the Sc
lectmen was never qualified at all, and that the
board had been organized by two seectmen only.
But Cutler gave large Democratic majority and
the Council declared its vote to be legal. Vanceboro
was also counted ont for the reason given in the rep
resentatiye vote.
There were eight Republican Senators counted out
and eight Democratic and Greenback Senators
counted in. So the axe fall on twentynine elected
Republicans in the House and eight in the Senate
As elected by the people the House stood 80
Republicans and 81 Democrats: as reversed by Gov.
Garcelon and his Council it stood 7S Democrats, 81
Republicans and IL vacancies. As elected by the
people the Senate stood 10 Republicans and IL
fusonists; when the Governor and Council were
through with the returns the Senate contained 70
fusionists and II Republicans.
During the sixty years that Maine has been
