Boston, Jan. 16.-Ths HeralTs Angus
ia special gays: The Senate and House met
at 10 A. N. In the House the first business
taken up was tho report of the committee on
elections, declaring VIM. hurry, fusionist,
of Vassalboro, entitled to seat instead OF
Rev. DR.. Nathaniel Butler, Republican. Tho
report was accepted, but reconsideration was
moved, because Perry, of Camden, wished
full explanation of the case. Dickey, from
that committee, stated no check list was used
at the election, that the notice of the meet
ing was not legal, that one Of the assessors
passed the ballot box out of doors to allow q
sick man in carriage to vote, and that there
were sundry other reasons why the actions
of the election judges were not legal. The
ID otion to reconsider failed, and Murry was
escorted to the executive chamber to take
the oath. Nurry's admission brings the
number of members off the House present up
to seventy seven, according to the count
OF the teller.

d,yico
of tie legality of tho House. He believed
such action ought to be deferred. Plaisted

viewed the situation and believed the time
had come for immediate action. He made
severe attack on Gen. Chamberlin for declin-
ing to recognize Lamson as acting COVER
nor, and held the general responsible for the
present condition of affairs.
At the conclusion of Plaisted's remarks,
which extended past the time set for choice
of candidates, and during which he declared
himself resolved TO stand by the legality of
this House SO long as drop of blood re-
manned in his veins, which sentiment was
loudly applauded, .McLauglin, off Cornell,
dorsins his views.

appointed to receive, sort and count the
votes for candidates to be sent to the
Senate, and the speaker appointed the COM
