but well Justified military movement. 1t
was u timely act. The military authorities
were out of patience with the politicians
who have for several days bad dominant in
fiuence at the State House. This has been
the most sensational of any night since the
complications, and the rumors of stirring
events to come were not baseless. The fu-
sionists' militia are and have been drilling
down town in this city, and IL has been as
certained to the satisfaction of the military
authorities that a concentrated attack upon
the State House was likely to occur at any
moment. A plot to burn the residences of
the leading Augusta Republicans was dis
covered tonight. Triangular bits of paper
marked the doomed residences. They were
tackled on after dark and soon perceived by
the vigilant police. Had the Governor not
given his order for calling ont the troops
Tonight the military men at the State
House were ready to abandon their watch
which was likely TO result in an inglorious
ending The orders for the militia were
given out by Gen. Chamberlain's Assistant
Adult. Gen. for reason that part of the mi-
litia would not, or it was feared they would
not, obey Gov. Davis order. The Capital
Guards garrison the Stale House tonight
and partly relieve the worn out police, who
have been without sleep for many hours.
A special train is ordered tonight from
Lewiston. 1t is probable that the most ag-
gessive movement Of che State government
will be- TO disperse the FusioEist Legisla-
ture and arrest every Fusionist official who
persists in playing at government.

Congressman from Augusta say that the
II puolicans do not consider that all danger
OF trouble is over; that there was very
scheming. arranged plan on the part of the
Fusion,sts 10 get control of the State House
last night, which was exposed by one of
theic number who was afraid it might lead
to bloodshed. The opinion prevails here
that there will yet be STIRRING times in
Maine, and that it will be necessary for Gov.
Davis to take determined action to prevent
the Fusionlsts from attempting to get con.
troll of the State House by forceab,e means.
A number of Republicans who have been
discussing the matter to-day. are of the
opinien that the crisis has not yet been
passed. and that tho Democratic leaders
are not gong to yield without first making
trouble, and perhaps the shedding of some
blood.
