TIE latest sensation in Congress was a

TIE latest sensation in Congress was an
attempt to create gross Democratic outrage
out of freak of colored cadet at West
Point, who tied himself up to his bed-post,
slit one of his ears and then concocted a
cock-and-bull story of having been assaulted
by three masked men and beaten and mu-
tilated. Happily the discovery of the ruse
by the superintendent of the academy nipped
the device in the bud, and there was only a
laugh at the expense of the simple minded
cadet, who thus thought to escape being de-
graded in his class for lack of scholarship.

After being in executive session from 10
o'clock A. M until 80 P. NJ. the board opened
the door of the governors room. which had ex-
cluded the outer world from their delibera-
tions, and vice verSG. However, inquiry re-
vealed that the board had gone into an election
of the faculty of the university.
PROF. FoLwELL REELECTED.
In approaching this business, the board had
much to consider and no little of this con-
sideration was given to ''the Alumni petition"
as we'll as other complaints against individual
members of the corps of professors. To GER
tain extent it was held, that this universal
discomfort was injuring the usefulness of the
institution, and if 1T could be remedied by the
removal of the Objectionable members of the
faculty, it would be beat to do it. Before
coming to any definite conclusion or action up
on the members, who are complained of, the
board proceeded to consider the eligibility of
such as were not complained of, and without
more ado reelected Prof. Folwell to the chair
he has heretofore satisfactorily filled. Then
the board proceeded in I. body to lunch with
the express understanding that they would re-
convene in three quarters of an hour, which
time, however, was fingered. and by the rest
less hands of time, to two hours and half.

FUSION FRAUDS IN MAINE.
A CHATTER FROM THE HISTORY OF TIL
GARcEIoN GoyEBSNExI.
Correspondence OF the Boston Journal.


Correspondence OF the Boston Journal.
The fusion party came into power in
1879 with loud professions Of reform and
economy. Their journals were overflow
ing with it; their public speakers and
legislators shouted Themselves hoarsc
over it. The fusion legislature reduced
the salaries of everybody but themselves
and those of the Governors Council, and
attempted to do big things, but succeeded
in making a net reduction Of the appro-
priations amounting to less than $50, 200,
almost wholly from salaries and the edu-
cational interests of the State.
In view of these loud professions, I pro-
pose to give brief summary of some Of
the transactions that were, TO say the
least, slightly irregular, and had they
occurred in the republican party, would
have been deservedly stigmatized as
downright frauds. These items have
been made public heretofore and are mat
tiers of record, My purpose at this time
is simply to conveniently group them
where they may be seen together.
THE EXECUTIVE Councils GRAB.
First, the economical Council made up
their pay by charging for extra length Of
travel, by charging for days they were
not in attendance, and by charging for
services on committee work for the same
days, they receiving compensation on the
pay-rolls for services in the full board,
making their compensation for services
for the year as follows John B. Foster,
1888; H. H. Munroe, S926.50; Charles
H. Chase, Sl045.25; S. s. Brown,
s9l9,a0; +. G. Parker, SASS; F. NJ.
Fogg, s744 rs; E. c. Moody, s9O6.74;
aggregating S6660.37.
The following Councillors drew pay for
committee work at the rate of % so per
day and expenses for the following days,
for the same days receiving pay for at
tendance on regular sessions Of the Coun-
Gil, thus receiving double pay; Brown,
Jan. l6, II, Is, visiting Western Nor
NAL School; and April 81, %, %, visit
ing State Liquor Agency; Chase, April
81, %, %, visiting Reform School and
State Liquor Agency: Fogg, Jan. l6,
IL, Is, visiting Western Normal School
April 81, %, %, visiting State Liquor
Agency; Monroe, April 81, ~, %,
visiting State Liquor Agency; Parker,
April 81, %, 20, visiting State Liquor
Agency.
At the legislative session of the Gov
ernor, for which the compensation is the
same as for members of the Legislature,
the Council drew double mileage, that is,
20 cts. mile each way. The Governor,
after approving the report giving his
Council this mileage, vetoed the pay-rolls
of the Senate and House, made up for
the same mileage. The matter was SUBJ
mitted to the court, who rendered q de.

Reported for the OXFORD DEMOCRAT
GREENBACK CONVENTION.

The Oxford County Greenback Conven'
ton met at Concert Hall, Norway, and
vas called TO order by Col. c. S. Edwards
of Bethel.
A temporary organization was perfected
by the choice Of II. S. McIntire chairman,
aud L. F. Keene and Azel Haines secre'
retaries.
A committee Of one from each repre-
sentative district was appointed on cre'
dentials. Committees consisting Of the
same numbers were also appointed on res
olutions and as County Committee.
While the committee on credentials were
attending to their duties, the convention
was enliyened by the introduction by MIR.
Bradbury Of Buckaeld, of a resolution to
the effect that the Greenback party will
establish the one term system for the office
OF Senator. On motion Of Mr.. keene OF
Paris, this resolution was amended so as
to include all the county officers, and passed
by quite a majority. This resulted In a
lengthy and miscellaneous discussion, some
half dozen members and non-members join:
ing, and all talking at the same time. This
wild talk developed the fact that the reso-
luton was intended to slaughter Messrs.
Barrett and Rankins, the Senators Of last
year, and the amendment was intended to
include Scion Royal, our present County
Treasurer, among the martyrs. After a
long wrangle over the matter, some one
moved that SO much Of the resolution as
related to county officers be reconsidered.
This raised new question, as to the status
Of the resolution according to parliament
tary law. The chair decided that this
motion brought the whole question again
before the convention; several members
protested that the ruling Of the chair was
incorrect, and some one moved to. indea-
nitely postpone the whole matter.
Mr.. Gibson OF Bethel now came TO the
rescue, and propounded the following per-
tinent inquiry: "Mr. Chairman, has the
