rSpecial Despatch to the Press

Especial Despatch to the Press.l
AUGUSTA, JAN 5.-The excitement here is
greatly increasing and will eliminate We'd
nesday morning on the assembling or attempt
ed assembling of the counted in Legislature.
Conversation held to-day with a number of
prominent Fusionists leads me to believe that
the Governor aud Council do not propose to
pay the slightest attention to the recent decis-
ion of the Supreme Court, but that they will
attempt to organize both branches with
Fusionists. They openly state that tomorrow
the guards about the State House will be
greatly increased, and should the slightest at
tempt at resistance in any form be made on
Wednesday, an armed force will be added to
the other guards. This they will do as they
say in the furtherance of claw and order.''
On visiting the State House to-day nothing
unusual could be noticed. Knots of men were
scattered around the rotunda earnestly con-
versing but not sign of barricades of any
sort was noticed AS you enter, however, and
ascend the stairway towards the halls, you are
made aware that stranger is under close sur
veillance. Curious looking guards in citizens
throughout the building and should you at
tempt to enter any room which apparently is
not in use, they will inteEpose an objection
saying, "nothing there TO see." L am also in
formed there are arms stored in several rooms
ready for use
Crowds Arriving.
The trans to-day brought large number of
people to the city. Both counted in and
counted out are coming in force, and lively
time may be expected.
Bulldozing the Counted In Representa-
tives.
The counted in Representative from Farm
ington will not be here, though most strenu-
GUS efforts have been made to force him to
come He has been bulldozed to the fullest
extent by his Fusion brethren, they telling
him among other things that Gov. Garcelon
= -'---,.,.-.4z and would send an officer and
compel MIN TO take Ms serye through
sells have prevailed and ne proBBggst to stick to
his letter of resignation.
Garcelon and Pillsbury.
Gov. Garcelon arrived in town to-day and
went at once to the Capitol 1t is evident
something unusual is about transporting there
as members of the Council in town have been
extremely nervous this afternoon, and one of
their guiding stars Eben r. Pillsbury, who
has been at the State House good portion of
to-day, has busted himself in earnest CONVEX
sation and reading from the Revised Statutes
for their delectation.
Republicans Demand the Removal of the
Guards.
A full meeting of Republican legislators was
held at Mr.. Blaine's residence this evening.
Among the other business a committee was ap-
pointed to wait on the Governor and demand
that the guards be removed from the State
House and visitors allowed free access to it as
has ever been the invariable custom; another
to frame an order of business which will be
adopted by the counted out members and their
lawful rights secured.
Cowardly Assaults on Judge Libbey.
Great indignation is caused here by reports
circulated rejecting upon the honor of Judge
Libbey in denouncing the fraud by his concur
ring in the opinions of the justices.
The canvass for state and legislative officers
is wholly lost sight of in the excitement over
other matters.
The report circulated around town to-day
that the Republicans had hired Granite Hall
to organize dual Legislature is wholly false.
They propose to take their lawfully acquired
seats.
The Portland Representatives.
The Portland Representatives are all in
town and propose to make bold stand for
their rights as will be noticed by their petition
which was presented to the Governor and
Council to-day by A. A. Strout. Their course
of action is commended and it will doubtless be
followed by the other disfranchised cities.

How the Case Happened to 10 to the
Court.
The Fusionists are denouncing the Cover
nor with great violence for submitting the
questions to the Court. 1t seems Pillsbury
and his compatriots fancied they had the Gov
ernor fixed, but at an untimely moment Gov.
Garceop was interrupted at Brunswick by
