men came from Bath last evening under
command Of Captain Whittemore, having
become alarmed by the report that the
safety of the Capitol was endangered.
Good order waspreserved this morning in
every department. The Daily Standard,
Democrat, in reference to the expected
opinion Of the Court, says: We have no
concern about questions or answers. The
State authorities are quite Indifferent to
both. We are sure they will have no in
fluence upon the action OF the properly
constituted authorities Of the State.
Neither the Governor nor the Legislature
will retreat or surrender the fort till it is
bombarded by oreeffectual missiles than
paper bullets. The Republicans will find
out, what 1t is difficult for them to under
stand, that they have got to obey the laws
and submit to the lawfully ordained au-
thoritics OF this State rs well as other per-
sons, and the sooner some Of them learn
this fact the better 1t will be for them.
FALSE RUMoR.
The rumor that General Chamberlain
had recognized Lamson as Governor
proved false upon inquiry at headquarters.
General Chamberlain will reduce the po-
lice force at the State House.

recess until 3p.M.

cess was then taken until half-past 4 this
afternoon. A fusion caucus will be held
this evening. Attorney General McLil-
Ian denies that he has been preparing |
a warrant for the arrest OF Mr.. Chamber
lain.
HuRRYINo uP BEFORE THE COURT SPEAKS.
The Boston Journals Augusta special
says that the prevailing opinion is that
the iusionist branches will proceed to the
election OF a Governor to-day. II they
do it will not have the significance Of
Yesterday, and will probably not be ac-
companied by any idea of the employ
ment OF force TO break down the power OF
Gen. Chamberlain as they intended to do
then, II they do this 1t will be in order |
to make all progress possible before the
decision OF the court Is reached. Thew
claim that they have never thought oi
using any force against General Chamber
lain.
clIAMBRRLAiN REFUSES TO WEAKEN.
1t is now stated that General Chamber
lain refuses to comply with the request of
Lamson to diminish the number Of police
at the State House. II any change is
made it will be to strengthen the force.
