sultation with general Chamberlain in
regard 10 their removal
A letter has been received by the Flu
sionists from A. r. Gould, substantially
as follows:
Say to all that, in my opinion, the
governor and council should be chosen
before action is taken for filling any va
cancy. / also think that the opinion of
the judges should be entirely disregard
ed. We must hold the state government
at all events, lift can be done fairly. Let
not a Republican be seated in either
house, if he can be excluded upon fair,
legal grounds.
AUGUSTA, Jan. 10-The FusioRists
have, as yet, discovered no relief from
the embarrassment at not being in pos
session of quorum, and have no par
ticular plan next week. The treasurer
has directed that no money shall be paid
from the treasury on order of the legis
lature until he Otherwise decides. He
refused this morning to- honor tive or
ders paid by the senate. 1t is expected
that Gen. Chamberlain win issue an or
der for the removal of all arms to the
state arsenal ut Bangor this morning
Should the order be issued the arms
and ammunition will be in charge of
city marshal.
The crowd at the state house was
greatly diminished. The house was in
session but few minutes. All quiet in
the city. Most of the members Will re-
main over during the Sabbath.
AUGUSTA, Me, Jan. 9.-While the flu
sionist leaders are doing their best to
rally their forces by constant caususes
and personal appeals, it is the general
opinion that tleir forces are weakening,
and if ii shall prove to be plan Of the
Republicans to tire their opponents out
and make them give up from sheer ex-
haustion, the early developments seem
TO argue success.
The administration of general Cham
berlaIn Is heartily commended.
augusta, Me, Jan. 9.-There is talk
tonight of a compromise, suggested by
the FusiOuis.s, but it meets with no IA
vor from the Republicans. who are mere
coRpactly united than eyer. Their con
ference meeting this afternoon showed
them TO be unit, with determination
to stand together, and not suffer the least
break in their lines The policy they
have adopted is a peaceful one, although
the more impulsive are in favor OF tax
ing possession of the state house at once
by force of arms. This does not meet
with favor from the leaders, who counsel
patience and GOODNESS.
Sprout, representative from Visie, will
begin libel suit against the Maine
Standard for defamation of character,
damages being placed at $4,000.
All the leading men of both parties
remain in the city. Hons ID. T. Davis.
Col. Jos. L. Smith, several members of
congress, and other leading men, will re
main here during the critical period.

LONDON, Jan 10.-'rhe Catholic Bisbop,
of achony, Ireland, in acknowleG ging the
French subscription for the relief of the
distress in ireland dwells on pitiful of
condition of his flock, and declares it
IS painful to stretch out the hand of
need toward America and France, rath-
er than to fiourishing England which
yearly received millions from ireland as
taxes.
The Maine Republicans Capture the Legis-
lature.
AUGUSTA, Jan. 12-It having been an
nOunced that James ID. Lamson, presi-
dent of the senate, would this morning
assume the duties of governor, general
Chamberlain states that he shall posi-
lively refuse to recognize his claims to
that position, and furthermore, will rec
oguize no one as governor who shall be
chosen by the legislature as at present
organized.
Lamson afterwards issued proc'ama-
ton declaring himself governor.
Boston, Jan. 12-The Journals Au-
gusta special of last night says; Very
few Republican members Or claimants
have left the city. To-day every man cx-
cept one or two is on hand. The qucs-
ton of whether the committee on the
gubernatorial votes will report and
whether both branches will attempt TO
elect governor tomorrow, is freely dis
cussed. The general opinion is that they
Will not presume TO elect governor as
the house is at present constituted.
1t is rumored that leading fusionists
made to-day overtures for compromise,
when they were told that the admission
of members elect of the DISTINGUISHED
cities and towns OF Pennington and
Skowhegan, would insure the attendance
of the Republicans. This would add
fourteen to the siXty-two members.
The Republicans feel greatly relieved
that the arms in the state house are re
turned to the arsenal, and consider ii
great move toward the peaceful solution
Of the difficulty. 1t is reported and be-
lieved by large number of persons that
the reason the galleries were not allowed
to be occupied on Friday, was that or
ders had been given TO allow certain
armed men TO be concealed in the state
library 10 be ready in case of an attempt
of the Republicans to capture the hall.
The finding of muskots loaded and car
fridge boxes filled shows that bloody
work was contemplated. Both parties
keep their movements very closely from
all outside members and claimants, and
especially do they avoid making any dis
closures to newspaper correspondents.
Gen. Chamberlain has issued the fol
lowing order:

AT twenty minutes to six O'Clock this |
evening the Republican members of the |
senate and house Of representatives pro- |
ceeded to the state house for the purpose |
of organizing the legislature. The |
movement was entirely unknown TO the |
fusionists, and but few Republicans out |
side of the immediate members were |
aware of the position of affairs. The |
news that the Republicans had taken |
possession of the state house spread rap |
idly and caused great rejoicing among |
the Republicans, who have been impa- |
tent to have just this result brought |
about. Mr.. hanson, president of the |
