GARcELoN CHARGED WITH TREASON.
BosToN, Jan. 24.-The Herald's special from
Augusta says: There is much grumblins
among the Fusionists, who are charging thai
Ex-Governor Garcelon traded with the Repub
Gcans and plotted with Gov. Chamberlin tt
deliver the State house to the Republicans
Garcelon, they say, went home to Lewiston
prior to Cham berlin's taking possession of the
State house, and there made trade with Con
gresham Frye, who had been commissioned to
make some trade with Garcelon. The bargain
was successful. and Chamberlin went into the
State house. This ia the talk tonight.
THE PLOT"
Other specials say the State house authori
ties say they know sure this was to have been
the night for Fusion movement on the State
house. They say they have Intercepted Fusion
dispatches showing that the Fusion governor
was preparing to muster his forces. The
From Bddefo,d It's men We're to have come on
the late Pullman train from Boston. All the
Intelligence is asserted to be confirmed by Re
publican advices Just read.
The report comes to the State house
from Portland that secret Fusionist lodges
with code of grips and passwords had been
dispersed. 1t was rumored in Augusta to-day
that al agent of a New York firm received a
few days ago an order for 200 carbines and 300
revolvers, and watch has been kept for them
By the State house authorities. Fusionist
treasurer White Will have his annual reports
ready by Monday or Tuesday. He still holds
the keys of the stronghold and will not turn
over his charge'until the committee on accounts
go through his books, but Republicans say he
must go, verifcation or no verifcation.
RIGOROUS MEASURES.
The governor has been strongly urged by
some of his advisers to order the entire mill
tary force Of the State to this city tonight,
to be ready to forcibly disperse the Fusionist
government by Monday. The military advisers
of the governor believe the true policy is to
end the dual government business at once re
ceive the great seal of the State, and
install Holbracker in the treasury. Gen.
Spalding, like many other veterans, believe
the whole Fusionist government is engineered
from outside the State, and is part of q scheme
to capture the next Senatorship, Congressman
and electoral vote. 1t is now stated, the Fusion
lists, in hurry to send questions to the SUI
preme court, did not send certified copy of
them, and believe the judges will decline to
consider the copy sent.
ASSUMED COMMAND.
BANGOR, Jan. 24.-Lieut. Col. White, com.
handing the First regiment of militia, return
ed from Augusta tonight, and under orders
from Gen. Davis assumed charge of the State
arsenal, the Fusionist arsenal keeper having
refused to obey orders, except from Smith.
The State property here will be kept under
guard by Col. White.
TRYING TO RALLY.
AUGUSTA, Jan. 24.-There is evidently an at
tempt to rally the Fusion forces tonight, but
it will prove futile. Evidence shows there was
a plan to capture the State house last night,
but wise precautionary measures prevented.
The government was just twenty-four hours
ahead. Coils. Blood and Davis, of Smith 8
staff, have reunited 200 men in Biddeford and
Portland, and intended to send them to this
city by Pullman train, but the Governor or
dered the Biddeford company to take the same
train in the event of Fusionists coming, which
meant to stop them there, and probably they
will not come. Fusionists from Lewiston in
tended to come, but reports late tonight show
they have abandoned the plan. The keeper of
the Bangor arsenal refused to give up the keys
to Col. Daniel White, as ordered, and the Off
Gals here telegraped: 'Take it by force, if
necessary" The force at the State house to-
night is able to cope with force of 1000.
The governor has received congratulatory
and complimentary dispatches from the gov
ernors of Mississippi New York and New Jer-
sey, and O set of resolutions from the Grant
club in New York. Congratulations are being
received by the governor from all
quarters of the country on sustaining free
government in Maine and that the government
was strong enough to sustain itself. The ac-
ton of the court is warmly commended
for the able decision which would serve as a
landmark in future, and as a 5ulwark of re-
publican government everywhere.
No trouble is apprehended tonight. Cover
nor Davis spent the night at his quarters in
the State house.
