JAMAICA.

At a meeting of the Legislative
Council on the 18th ult. the Governor
was put on his defence in regard to
his refusal of hurricane relief. One
of the members (Mr, Westmorland)
moved a resolution that a commission
be appointed to examine the condi-
ton Of the parishes which have suffer-
ed by the hurricane. The Governor,
as President of the Council argued
against the appointment as follows.
{. The President maintained that it was no
exaggeration to say that there had been exag-
g~eration. That did not imply any censure on
the persons making the reports. As q Jamai.

The Ferry Ministry in France has fallen
and risen again, and now sits in a slightly
dazed condition. The Chamber was re-
opened on November 9th with a speech
from M. Jules Ferry, in which he defended
the dissolution of the unauthorized monas-
terles, but promised to spare the nunneries
till q new law had been passed, declared
that the first Bills taken up must be those
on Education, and promised a variety of
useful measures. He ended by demanding
for his Ministry ''not federation, but CO.
operation" The Chamber. which had re-
manned gloomy under his address, respond
ed to 1t by ordering, by 2G3 to 108, an
investigation into the conduct Of General
Cissey, in opposition to the Government.
which wished the inquiry to be judicial
only; and then, by 200 to lG6, insisted on
p%ostponing the Bills on Education to the
Bills for the publication of the Magistracy.
The Cabinet, rightly we think, regarded
the latter vote as equivalent to one of no
confidence, and at once resigned. Presi-
dent Grevy, however, threatened a dissolu-
ton, NJ. Gambetta pressed the Ministry to
remain, and on Thursday the Cabinet
withdrew its resignation, and took a direct
vote Of confidence, which was passed, after
q debate i'll which NJ. Clemenceau severely
attacked the Ministry, by 297 to 131. The
question Of the priority of the Bills remains
however, undetermined, and the Cabinet
has had q most severe shake.

The sitting on Thursday was marked by
a deplorable incident. NJ. Baudry dAsson
an ardent Legitimist, had on Tuesday
called the Government a "GOvernment Of
pick-lockS" ("des crocheteurS"), aud was
excluded, in punishment, from the sittlngS.
He appeared in his place, nevertheless,
and was ordered by the President to retire.
He refused, upon which N. Gambetta, to
give him time to reflect, suspended the
sitting. On the resumption of business,
M. Baudry d'Asson still remaining, the
President ordered the guard to remove
him but M. d'Asson's friends resisted, the
soldiers, who were unarmed, were hustled
and their ~epaulets torn, and it was only
by direct fighting that the guard were
able to carry off their prisoner. A renew
al of the scene is threatened, but as M.
Baudry d'ASson, who was sentenced to
three days Imprisonment, was released on
Thursday night, it is probable he has
given some promise to obey the rules. The
incident looks very serious, because sol
diers were employed; but it has occurred
in our own House of Commons, in FearguS
O'Connor'S case, and NJ. Baudry dAsson,
as a Legitimi6t, has no popular strength
behind him. 1t is evident, however, from
this scene and the language used III the
Senate, that the feelings of the minority
have been dangerously reused by the
execution of the March DEGREES. They
are ready for civil war, if only the Repub-
lie may be overthrow. It should not be
forgotten that they sit in Paris and not in
Versailles, and that their violence may
rouse violence on the other side.

(From the SpectatOr.)

The state of Ireland is still the great
anxiety of the Government, and is, we
fear, an increasing rather than a diminish
ing anxiety. The area of disturbance
spreads, and the intensity of it grows. We
believe that the Government have not yet
decided on their immediate course, and
we trust it may not be to call Parliament
together again to suspend laws i'll the name
of law, but rather to use the existing law
including, of course, the use OF the Army
whenever and wherever it is necessary
for the enforcement of authority and the
suppression of violence. 1t may be that
the temptation to put an end as speedily
as possible, and with the minimum OF
actual display Of force, to outrages on pub
Tic Older, IS a very strong one. But we
believe that if that course gains something
IN the present, it loses more in the future,
through the injury thus done to the rever-
ence for law and liberty. "Any II can
govern with a state of SIEGE" but every
one who governs with a state of siege finds
the difficulty of governing, without it, one
that steadily grows upon his hands. Mr..
Parnell is accommodating for himself a ter
rible moral responsibility, in %fomenting
this popular ill-feeling against the most
Uo1J lCiOLhiihS
ireland ever had, and to all appearances,
cnlefy for the very reason that Mr.. Par
nell cannot trust it to leave Irish grieyan'

Why DO THY CELEBRATE The fu-
sionists of Paris and Norway had big
blowout, Saturday night. They fired
cannon, marched with torches, shouted.
and with what money remained after
paying for clothing given to voters they
hired two bands 20 enliven the occasion.
VIVA, all this display was for we cannot
tell. The fusionists of Paris were beaten
BY a larger majority than ever beiore-of
course they did not celebrate that event
The fusionists of Norway were beaten by
a majority more than twice as large as
that Of lS79-that was not subject for
great hilariousneSs The fusion majority
of about AGO in Oxford County was
wiped out and Republican majority of
nearly 100 took its place-that could not
greatly please or exhilirate true fusionists.
The Republicans have a majority in both
House and Senate, they elected three out
of FIVE Congressman, they have a large
majority of the county officers, every
State officer, the Governor Council, and
probably the Governor himself-,hey did
not intend TO celebrate these splendid
Republican victories. The pow-wow, as
near as we can ascertain. was over the
possible election of General Plaisted II
,hst is all, we advise our fusion friends
not to expend too much money in purchas-
ing enthusiasm al present-they may
wan, it for clothing and teams in Novem-
Der. 1t is tue, perhaps. that the clerks
returns at Augusta give Plais,ed 65 plu-
rality, but tina, does not elect him. Last
year these same returns gave DAVIS
10000 plurality over Smith and 10000
over Garcelon; they gave the Republic
cans a majority of SO in the Legislature,
and large number of county officers,
bu, when the official returns were all
in and counted, this result was exactly
reversed. Advice IS cheap, SO we again
advise the fusiolists not 20 be too jolly
until the official returns have been tabu-
lated and counted according TO the con-
stitution and the laws
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1880-09-28

The total vote shows an Increase OF
1853, or 6.22 per cent. The Republicans
have gained 4521 votes, an increase OF 6.55
per cent: while the Fusionists have added
1000 10 the joint vote Of last year, an in-
crease OF 5.7S per cent. The ratio of gain
exhibited by the Republicans Is 80 or n
little over three-quarters OF one per cent.
larger than shown on the Fusionist side.
The Fusionist plurality is reduced from
7Ol TO ia, elimination Of 527. The Fu-
sionists lack 500 OF clear majority, while
last year they displayed a clear majority
of SIS, 4 reversal OF eco 10 their discredit.
The Republicans at present lack l15 OF a
plurality and $50 OF clear majority. In
the contest OF last year they lacked 70l OF
a plurality and lOi+ OF clear majority.

NoRwAY.-The drouth in Norway was
very severe, and continued undated up 10
the 9th inst, since which time we have
plenty of rainy weather, though not enough
rain to affect deep wells, many of which
are entirely dry.
Crops of all kinds suffered more or less,
but are much better than was expected by
many. Potatoes are an average crop and
are being dug earlier than usual. some
fields OF corn suffered badly, and are max
ing poor returns to the farmer, but on the
whole this crop is above the average.
Wheat is rather light, while oats are a
fair crop, straw being short and light, but
grain full. Apples are very abundant, but
are smaller than usual, and have fallen of
badly, and the market being very dull,
livestock are disposing of a large amount
of this fruit. The pear crop is smaller
than usual; while grapes are good, and
are ripe several days earlier than last year.

THE THREAT OF THE THIEVES.

General Anderson will represent the First
District Of Maine in the next Congress Mark
ihat-Portland Argus, Sept -
The above Is but an echo OF the threats
uttered by the same party organ last fall
that the Republicans were TO be counted
out OF the Legislature. This threat
against Mr. Reed was made just n soon
81 his election became assured, and San
born boosted in this city on Tuesday that
a Democratic House would count him out.
The same yillainous threat was made
against Capt. Boutelle by prominent lead
ers OF the Fusionists-that however de-
cisively elected, he would be deprived OF a
seat by the Confederate House.

HOW SHALL WE COUNT.

Last year Gov. Gsrcelon and Council
adopted as one of the rules of their count,
that votes cast for any person and re
turned incorrectly even to the extent OF
one letter in the name, could not be
counted for the regular nominee, but
must be placed by themselves as If cast
for another person. In their final de-
Tense, used as a campaign document, we
find the following in relation 70 this mat
ter:
1t happened In the returns from many
OF the towns, the middle initial letter IN
candidates name was omitted, or the
wrong initial WAS used, or in some towns
In the same district only initial letters were
used for the Christian name, while in
other towns the whole Christian name
was used.
William X. Field, one OF the Demo
cratic candidates for Senator in the County
OF Cumberland, lost several hundred votes
by means OF his name being written in the
return nom Gray, - William b. Field.
The defence then proceeds to mention
seven other cases where such defects ex-
isted and by which six Republican Repre-
sentatives to the Legislature lost their
certificates
IfHarris NJ. Plaisted has received a
majority Of the votes just cast for Cover
nor, the people have endorsed this style
Of counting, and have demanded by a
majority of their votes that 1t shall be
continued. This was made the most
prominent issue Of the campaign, and
Democrats and Greenbackers alike chung
to Garcelon, eulogizing him as an old
hero, and second jackson. He had
counted the votes according TO the Con-
s,itution and the laws, he declared, and
his party friends echoed this sentiment
until it became indelibly impressed upon
the popular mind.
Now the question arises, shall the Re
publican Governor and Council count the
votes as Garcelon counted them, and as
the people demand, or shall they connt
them according to the intent of the voters
and in harmony with the spirit Of our IN
stitutionss Those who were so loud IN
their defence of Gov Garcelon's method
should read the following table, and see
how the plan would work this year. 1t
seems that votes have been returned as
