COMPROMISE TALK IN AUGUSTA.
Boston, Jan. 22.-The J0oTndE'S
Augusta special of last night says !:
But very few Of the Republican
members or claimants left the city
to-day, and tonight it is said that
every man except one or two is on
hand. Various famofs are aaeat as
to the movements of each party to-
morrow. The question whether the
committee on on gubernatorial votes
will report and whether both BRAN
ches will attempt to elect a governor
tomorrow is freely discussed. The
general opinion is that they will not
presume to elect a governor as the
House is at present constituted. 1t is
rumored that leading Fusionists to-
day made, oYertures for colnpro-
mise, when they We're told that the
admission of members elect of the
DISTINGUISHED cities and the towns of
Pennington and Skowhegan would
ensure the full attendance of the Re.
publicans. This would add Ia to the
g. Republican members. The COM
mittee find that six persons received
votes for governor-Davis, Smith,
Garcelon, Bradbury, Chamberlain
aad Greenleaf. The first four would
be the names from which two would
have to be chosen to send to the sem
ate. Thus, if the House should be
Republican and the Senate Fusion, a
Fusion governor would be elected.
A quorum of certified members
would give the Republicans a major.
ity Of one. The Fusionists will hes
itate sometime before accepting these
terms.
The Republicans feel greatly re-
lieyed that the arms that bad been in
the State House are returned to the
State arsenal in Bangor, and consider
it great move toward peaceful So
luton of the difficulty. 1t is repor.
ted and believed by a large number
of persons, that the reason the gale
ries We're not allowed to be occupied
on Friday last was that orders had
been given to allow certain armed
men, concealed in the State library,
i'll case of an attempt on the part Of
Republicans to capture the hall las
the Fusionists feared), to come down
by short cut and enter the south
gallery with loaded muskets, and
command the representative hall.
The finding of muskets loaded and
cartridge boxes filled shows that
bloody work was contemplated. Both
parties keep their movements very
cloudy to all except the membels and
claimants, and especially do they
avoid making any disclosures to
newspaper correspondents.
A GEAIN BLOCKADE.

AIDE of prodigious proportions is the
feature of the grain trade in this
market at present. The elevators. of
the city, which contain an aggregate
of 10000 600 bushels, are very nearly
filled to their utmost capacity, and
several roads are refusing to receive
grain for this market because, when
it arrives, there are no accommodate
tons for it. In this condition of af-
fairs the directors of the Board of
Trade are considering the propriety
OF accepting as regular the receipts
in the elevators and storehouses
along the line of the various rail-
roads. 1t is also in contemplation to
provide temporary storage outside
elevators. and to build new elevators
in various quarters of the city.
Large numbers Of cars are lvino
along the tracks in the city loaded
with grain which they are unable 70

and enough of oats and other grain
to make the total ii ,250, 900 bushels
against total of 10,000,OOO bushels
