assembly to order. The drawing Of seats was
announced, the republicans generally partici.
pating. The clerk called the certified roll
Each responded to their names except Snow
and Voter. Eugene Halls republican claimed
that certain elected members of the House
from cities were not on the roll and moved
that they be included, He supported his mo-
ton in long speech amid great excitement
and deep sensation. The clerk ruled Hale out
Of order and refused to put the motion on
which the republicans withdrew from
! participating in the proceedings
A message was then sent to the Governor
| and council stating that quorum of the
members OF the House was present and ready
to be qualified The Governor appeared and

invoken their careful consideration of the
same Cheers were given for Gov. Garcelon

Augusta, Jan. Ex-Governor Garcelon
ceased to be governor at midnight last night,
Mr.. Lamson the President of the Senate is
now acting Governor. Both houses of the
leglature assembled quietly to day at 10 A.
NJ. The crowd was greatly diminished from
yesterday. Sentinels were placed at the
doors, the police force continue to be under
the sheriff and mayor. A committee was ap-
pointed to inyestigats charges of alleged bri-
berry by the Senate. On the opening of the
House an impatient crowd rushed in. Quiet
was soou restored. The records of yesterday
we're read, and showed that not more than 70
votes were cast for any candidate in organic
ing the House, that number bring less than a
quorum. The republican members who with
| drew yesterday, were present and ready to be
qualified. Acting Gov. Lamson refused to
qualify them at present, net being sure of his
power, but would inform himself The house
then adjourned.
Augusta, Jan. 9. Doubt, d1strust and
excitement still continues. The military pow
er looms up. Gen. Chamberlain consults civil
| authorities The last nights conference at
Blaine's house continued until late hour in
| the morning of the 9th. At the Augusta house
every person was closely watched till two
o'clock in the morning. In the morning poll
| ticians were nervous, and fusionists panicky.
| Gen. Chamberlain, early in the morning, is
| sued a general order to the effect that he
| would assume command and protect the prop
erty and institutions of the State, in trust for
| the people, until governor is duly elected
| md 6o1 Prf
| lain assumes temporarily the Office Of COVER
nor and COMMANDMENTS The entire po-
lice force of the State house was changed,
those indicated by Gen Chamberlain taking
the place of those there for several weeks. The
| change was quietly made. On the opening of
| the senate, but one Republican appeared and
| took his seat, Locke of Cumberland. The vote
on the bribery order was reconsidered, and
the order laid on the table. In the House on
ly u members appeared, all fusionists. Swami
| and Hartman stated that they had each been
offered 81 600 by Wallace R. White not to ap-
pear at the organization of the legislature.
Advices from Augusta, to Jan. 10, state
That the House have attained no quorum, and
| the leglsla i've status was substiantly un
changed. By order Of Gen. Chamberlain, the
state arms brought from Bangor and placed In
the State House, were returned to the ,r,ena
In Bangor. The Portland Advertiser says It is
understood that White accused of bribery will
reply that he received the designations and
certificates as stated, but did hold the alleged
interview, and that the money payments is a
pure falsehood.
Augusta, Jan. II, Wallace R. White
has published card, denying in the most
positive and emphatic terms the charge of bri.
berry made against him, and demands at the
| proper time, an investigation. James D. Lam.
son, fusionist, has issued proclamation, as
president OF the senate, assuming the func
lions OF acting governor of the State. This
may bring on conflict with General Cham.
| berlain.
Augusta, Jan. 10. On the assembling
of the Senate, Lamson, the President sent
note announcing that he had assumed the
functions of Governor, and Ellis was chosen
President pro tenn. On the proposition to hold
joint convention to qualify tho acting Gov

sition, and was replied to by Baker and Strick-
land A joint convention was held and James
u. Lamson took took the oath of Office and
was proclaimed Govorner of the State. But
60 members were in the House and it adjourn
ed without transacting any business. Gen.
Chamberlain states that he shall positively re-
fuse to recognize Lamson's claim to the posi-
ton he has assumed, and furthermore will re-
cognze no one as Governor who shall be chos-
en- by the legislature as at present constituted.
