THE MAINE CONSPIRACY.

The Legislature of Maine having ap-
pointed committee for the purpose,
an investigation has been made in re-
gard to the attempted counting out of
the republican majority. Garcelon and
his councillors with large number of
other witnesses, have been examined,
and a most wicked and audacious plot
to thwart the wishes of the people, and
subvert the laws of the state is proven.
GarcelOn himself, though protesting ig-
nOrance of the worst things, is astonish-
ed at the revelations. He claimed that
there was Judas in the work some
where. The proof shows that there were
several of them. The committee in
summing up their report said:
lst, that the returns were kept from
the candidates contrary to usage; I'd
that during such time alterations, era
sures and forgeries were made upor
them for the purpose of counting on
Republicans; Sd, that during this tim'

Mr.. D. N. Skillings of Boston, who
has been for many years in the lumber
business in Burlington as member of

died suddenly last Wednesday night.
He has been for two or three years a
candidate for the office of state treasurer
of Massachusetts on the Democratic and
prohibition tickets.
Miss Ann. fifteen-years-old daughter
of H. A. Waite of West Wardsboro, who
mysteriously disappeared the other day,
has been found. 1t seems that she left
home at dusk, walked all night across
Stratton mountain which most of the
way is wild and thickly wooded coun-
try. She finally brought up at Factory
Point where she was found, and against
her will, taken home.
Two brothers named Rowland, from
Newbury, VT, made an assault upon one
Fred McIntire Of Haverhill, at North
Haverhill village, n. H., Saturday night.
They pounded him severely and finally
used their knife upon McIntire, cutting
his clothes badly, but not injuring him.
McIntire was forced to use his knife and
stabbed one of the Howlands several
times so severely that the physicians
consider his recovery doubtful. Mc[ntirt
is young man of good reputation.

CONGRESS-.

The dOings of congress the past week
have been of considerable Importance,
and the debates have been lively and
exceedingly acrimonious. The demo-
Gratis have concluded to do what they
utterly refused to do at the last session,
vote an appropriation to pay marshals
and other officers, who have been APP
pointed to look after elections They
sickle, however over the pay of certain
deputy marshals, and the debate over
this point is of character to bring out
a good many campaign documents for
the next election. The important mat
ters of legislation hang fire, and a
lengthy session is threatened. The
House Committee on Elections, who have
been hesitating for months in regard to
deciding against the claims of one Igna-
titus Donnelly of Minnesota, a green
hacker, who claimed the scat of represen-
tative Washburne, have screwed up their
courage and reported in favor of Donnelly
who was beaten in the election by 5000
votes. The state of Minnesota is need
ed in case of a close election, and as il
is now Republican in congress, it is
necessary to count out the Republican
member. There are three or four other
contested cases that are liable to result
in the same way. as it is becoming more
a question of policy and might, as tc
who shall have seat, than as to who
is entitled to it by right. There are
one or two Republicans in the Senat,
from the south, and the Senate Commit
tee has just decided to Dust Kellogg o
Louisiana. This will be hard under
taking, but the majority is equal to al
most any task.

The Democratic doctrine has ever
been principles, not men, Men fall
away, men die; principles never. The
good of the country, not the advance
ment of this or that man, is and should
be the object of the Democratic party.
No man has right to claim to use the
Democratic party for personal ends.
When that grand old party is owned by
any one man, then it ceases to be itself,
and becomes something else. The Dem
ocratic party did not come into being
for the advancement Of the interests or
ambitions of any indlvidual.-Argms.
1t is sometimes question whether
the editor of the argus has any political
conscience or not, but the above indi-
Gates that there is a spark left. He has
a mild way, however, of rebuking the
candidate for whom he has kept up his
rooster the last two years, for his at
tempt to again force himself upon the
party, and rather a gentle reproof for
Garcelon and his fellow democrats for
their attempted fraud in Maine. Hiram
might have said with equal propriety
the Democratic party was not made for
one section of the country alone, and to
be ruled by those who strove so hard and
so long to destroy both the party and
the country.

the defects in the Fusion returns were
surreptitiously corrected and affdavits
secured to throw out Republicans towns;
4th. in all such cases the result invaria-
bly, counted out Republican candidates
and counted in Fusion candidates 9Th,
the result was reached by refusing to
allow the Republican errors to be cor
rected 9Th, the rules as laid down were
strictly applied to reject Republican re-
turns and not applied in the count to
the Fusion returns; 9TH, many of these
rules were evidently invoked to secure
Fusion Legislature 9th, these illegal
and fraudulent acts were a part of a
premeditated plan to secure Fusion
Governor and Legislature, and the Gov
ernor and Council must have been par
ties to it; 9th, the different appropria-
tions by the legislature have been d.
verted from their legitimate purposes,
and in many cases have been exhausted.
The public funds have been withdrawn
from the treasury by Governor Garcelon
and his Council without the warrant of
law, and have been applied to unauthor-
lied purposes and for unlawful ends.
A large sum of money belonging to
the State remains in the hands of Gov
ernor Garcelon and other officials of last
year which should be recovered back in
to the treasury. The recklessness of the
management discovered in the transac-
tions of last year tends to destroy pub
lie confidence, undermine public credit,
and to introduce a practice which if IN
rebuked will prove fatal to the future
prosperity aud progress of the State.

NFEDER ATES AFTER
PENSIONS.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Loyal pen
sioners throughout the country will be
interested in knowing that the leaders
of the Confederate Democracy in the
House of Representatives are determined
that, if they can prevent it, no loyal
pensioner shall be paid, unless, at the
same time, a class of persons whose
names have been dropped from the pen
sion rolls because of disloyalty to the
Government are restored thereto.
This afternoon Mr.. Mcmahon, of Ohio
under the instructions of the Approprla-
tions Committee, offered an amendment
to the Deficiency bill making an appro-
priation of several millions to pay ar
rears of pensions to applicants under the
act passed a year ago.
Mr.. Reagan. of Texas, who was, dur
ing the Rebellion, member of Jefferson
Davis's Cabinet, declared he should op-
pose an amendment unless, at the same
time, the disloyal pensioners above de-
scribed were permitted to share in the
benefits of the appropriation.
Mr.. Hooker, of Mississippi, who was
Colonel in the rebel army, went still
further. He said that Congress ought
to stop these pensions appropriations I'M
til law could be passed to grant to the
veterans of the Mexican war the same
benefits that are conferred upon the sold
iers of the Union in the late war.
This Mexican veteran pension bill is
pet scheme of the Southern Democrats
who hope thereby to secure places upon
the pensions rolls for very considera-
BILE number of persons who took part in
the Rebellion.
Mr.. Reagan offered an amendment to
carry out his idea. A point of order
was raised against it by Mr.. Hiscock,
of New York, and considerable discus
sion took place. The question of order
was not decided before the House ad-
journed.
The Confederates are indeed earnest,
and Mr.. McMahon was besieged by a
crowd of them while the discussion was
in progress. They besought him to with
draw his amendment for the benefit of
loyal pensioners, and to bring it in here
after as separate bill, so that they
could fix 1t up to include the persons
who are now excluded for the reason
above given.

sum was far within the fact, as there
were accounts due and in part audited,
but not liquidated at that date, for be-

Mr.. Edward Atkinson estimated the
maximum debt to have been over So
200, 100000 in 1865 in a speech de-
livered at the Worcester gubernatorial
convention IN 1868. This estimate was
never gainsaid, but at latter date Sec
rotary McCulloch submitted statement
in his last report in which he estimated
the maximum debt, after excluding every
item about which there could have been

interest. 1t is now little less than
100000, and will soon be reduced
by 100000 by the funding of the

WASHINGTON LETTER.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR
WAcuINnrnN March IA 1890

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MoNIroR.1
WASHINGTON, March 16, 1880.
Mr.. Mcmahon of the House has clear
ly stated the position and intentions of
the Democratic party in relation to the
recent decision of the Supreme Court on
the federal election laws. He declares
the decision as partisan, and asserts
that his party will take the responsible
ity of defying it, and of refusing to ap-
propriate money to pay the Special Dep
uty Marshals as long as the law remains
as it is. The Supreme Court decision,
he says, will make no difference to the
Democratic party. So it is now certain
upon what issue his party will 60 before
the people next fall. Payment is to be
refused those officials authorized to en-
force the election laws; appropriations
necessary for the Departments are to be
denied, and the public service will be
badly crippled. if not stopped, unless
the President will assent to the repeal
of the election law decided constitutional
by the highest judicial tribunal in the
land, and last but not least, "holy
crusade" against "fraud." headed by the
.great reformer" Tilden. Such a course
as this is absolute suicide, and the Dem
ocratic party will meet with the over
whelming defeat it deserves at the hands
of the loyal voters at the North.
One effect of the present wise and
efficient Democratic management is the
stoppage to-day of all public printing by
the government printer. This deficiency
was brought to the attention of Congress
months ago But the Democratic lead
ers were SO engrossed in manufacturing
campaign material for the Republicans.
that they considered this an unimpor-
tant matter.
General John B. Hawley. assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, has resigned.
This resignation is surprise to all, and
many reasons are assigned for it, the
most probable one being. that as he is a
candidate for the Republican nomination
for Governor of Illinois, he felt it his
duty to himself and friends to give more
time to the canvass than he could while
connected with the Treasury.
The Democrats cannot resist the
temptation to tamper with the laws d.
recting the counting of the electoral vote.
They can enact no legislation on the
subject at this session. but are endeavor
ing to agree upon joint rule to govern
the count. While the Democrats are
anxious to make changes the Republic
cans are satisfied to let things remain az

Philadelphia. the occurrence is worthy
of my chronicling it. The infant is of
charming mouse color, nearly four feet
long. and apparently always hungry.
The mother who is quite young and
pretty, according to some tastes, was so
over-excited at the happy arrival of the
well-developed stranger, that she tossed
it about like rubber ball and broke
stove with it in her apartment. The
medical men fear that her excitement
may cause deficiency in lactation, and
several enterprising feeding bottle man
ufacturers have been generously offering
free samples of their wares. Scientific
persons have been quite excited over the
period Of CESSATION and other remarka-
BILE incidents, and the circus people are
delighted and think the thing the big
gest kind of an advertisement. The
stranger is a female, and numerous dis
tinguished ladies are anxious to officiate
as god-mothers. 1t is understood that
Queen Victoria has been telegraphed to
and will be given the refusal of the hon.
or. It is stated to be an undoubted fact
that no such baby was ever born before.
By the way. it strikes me l forgot to
mention that it is an elephant, and that
none ever bred in confinement before,
according to the Hindoos, who ought to
know.
A peculiar phase of renewed business
activity, coupled perhaps with the RAM
pant Kearnyism on the Pacific slope, is
the influx of Californians. magnates and
smaller fry. A prominent San Francis
co lawyer, who is now here after an alb
sence of sixteen years, told me the other
day that he met more representative
Californians in Broadway than in Cali
fornia street, San francisco. There is
great mining activity, promising to be
largely developed, and there are predic-
lions enough of an enormous speculative
business in the near future.

The authorities of San Francisco are
taking steps toward the suppression of
Kearneyism and that element which
threatens the welfare of society. Kearn-
ey's arrest was followed closely by con-
viction and sentence of six months in
the House of Correction and fine of
$1,000. Of course he appealed to the
superior crurt, and gave bonds in the
sum of $4,000; but the mere fact of
his conviction and sentence is very graf
flying to law-abiding citizens there. 1t
rather surprised Denis himself, however,
as he calculated on getting off with a
fine of $40. The heavy sentence i'm
posed not only surprised him, but made
. him angry. 1t will prove to him per-
haps that be has gone about as far as he
can, and that if he cares for his freedom
he had better subslde and let agitation
alone. San Francisco people have had
enough of him, and will put him through.

CAN HE CARRY NEW YORK.

1t being we'll understood that the
brunt of the Presidential contest must
besborne in two or three of the so-called
doubtful States, the friends ofparticular
candidates are busy trying to demon
strate that their man, and their man
only, can "carry New York" or 'carry
Indiana" or break the Solid South.
We hear, for example, every now and
then, that Mr.. Blaine could not possl-'
bly obtain the electoral votes of New
York, since the Conkling influence would
be dead against him in the canvass as
we'll as in the convention.
We believe that this prediction does
great injustice to the New York Senator
and to the Republican voters of the
State. The supporters of Mr.. Conkling
will indicate their preferences by frank
and open contest before the nomination !;
after the Convention they will support
the nominee for the Republican party
does not purpose initiating the faction
fights of Tilden and Kelly. But so far
as the relations of Messrs. Conkling and
Blaine are concerned there is certainly
no cause for uneasiness. The "Conkling
influence" may or may not be essential
to success, but IN any case Mr.. Blaine
will certainly have it if he prove the
victor at Chicago. 1t would be the po-
litical ruin of Mr.. Conkling to imperil
the success of the party, especially in a
critical Presidential campaign, by half
hearted support of the regular choice OF
the National Convention and there is
not the slightest reason for supposing
that he or any of his associates will
think for a moment of any such treach-
erOus course. Whatever rivalry there
may be between the two Senators Is le-
gitimate and honorable. In the Cincin-
natl Convention of 1876 Mr.. Conkling
was one of Mr.. Blaine's most resolute
and persistent opponents but it was
arranged that if Blaine obtained the
nomination, Governor Woodford should
at once take the floor, and, speaking as
Mr.. Conkling's friend, should formally
pledge the electoral votes of New York
to the Maine statesman and the pledge
would have beer loyalty kept, SO farssas
the power Of the Republicans leaders Of
the State extended. Mr.. Conkling's
friends would have done their best fol
Mr.. Blaine in 1876, and they will de
their best for him in 1880 if the occa
sion present itself.
Those who assume that Mr.. Conkline
would not heaatily support Blaine as
sumo at the same time that he would
support Washburne. This would b
embarrassing Conkling and Wash
burne quarrelled bitterly, long while
ago. They have not spoken together fo
twenty years. If the carrying of New
York is to depend upon the persona
friendships or enmities of one distin
guished political leader, then MIR. Wash
burne, who is talked of as the compro
mise candidate to reconcile all rivalrie
and animosities, is the one man we ough
to beware ON. Y. Tribune.

II seems that the British lion does
not like the recent scream of the Amer
lean eagle to the tune of the Monroe
doctrine. The London Standard semi
officially says that the English govern
ment is bound to watch American pre-
tensions and resist them if necessary.
There are also hints that diplomatic
remonstrance will be sent to Washington.
