HARRIsBURG, Pa, Jan. 2l.--In the case Of
Charles B. Salter, charged with attempted
bribery of members of the Legislature, the
defence asked for postponement Of the trial,
mainly on the ground Of the absence of
several important witnesses and the brief
time allowed for an examination Of the in
dictment. After protracted discussion,
the Court indicated q determination TO post
pone the trial until tomorrow morning
when, If the witnesses arc not forthcoming,
the bribery cases will be continued until
March. The Court also notified the counsel
for defence that they would have to plead
to the indictment at once.
After some discussion the attorneys for
accused agreed to plead as directed in all
the cases, provided they were continued to
| March. Mr.. Gowen then drew up an order,
which all the counsel agreed TO, and the
Court adopted it. It provides that all the
cases go over to an adjourned Court, begin
ming on the second Monday in March, and
continuing two weeks, and that there be no
| further continuance for cause.
The effect of the yleas Of counsel for de-
fence to-day is to include the interposition Of
dilatory tactics 10 obstruct trial.
True bills were found to-day against W.
H. Kemble, Charles B. Salter and Jesse h.
Crawford for perjury before the House In
vestigating Committee.
A true bill has been found against Rep
resentative Smith, of Philadelphia, for cor
rupt solicitation. All Of the accused have
now been indcted-eight for corrupt solicit
tation, and three for corrupt solicitation and
perjury.

deny and Republican Member of the SEN
ate for the Department. Of the Rhone. NJ.
Favre was born at Lyons, March 81, 1909,
which makes him nearly II years old. At
the outbreak of the revolution of July, 1880,
he was pursuing his studies for tine bar. He
took an active part in the revolution, after
which he commenced practice, when the
independence of his character and the
radicalism of his opinions went far to make
him what he has ever since remained, q
consistent champion of French Republican.

the expedition TO Rome of December, 1s4s.
He became the strenuous opponent Of Louis
Napoleon, and, upon being elected after the
coup d'etat of 1851 to the General Council of
the Loire-et-Rhone, he refused to take the
oath to the new Constitution. His defence
of Orsini in 1858 created great sensation
by its boldness and eleQuence. In the same
year he became member of the Legislative
body, since which time he has distinguished
himselfby his speeches against the war with
Austria of 1859, and in 1864 by an attack on
the policy of the Imperial Government in
Mexico. In 1869 he nearly lost his seat.
He was proposed for several constituencies,
but was defeated in several, including Ly-
ons, but succeeded in being elected in Paris
by majority of 1854 votes over NJ. Henri
Rocheiort, in total vote of 52,77O. On the

Great injustice has been done to Gov.
Seymour by corrupt clique of politicians
at Washington, in suppressing letter of his
positively declining to be candidate for the
Presidency, or to accept a nomination under
any circumstances. Heretofore he has not
been free from responsibility himself, in
failing to announce distinct decision on
this subject, and in allowing the impression
to 90 abroad that in a certain contingency
his objections might be waived. But if the
terms of recent letter are not strangely
misunderstood, there is no excuse for putting
this distinguished Democrat in false po-
sition, or for using his name, with full
knowledge that he has forbidden it to be
used in any such connection.

1t was his voluntary retirement from Of

Ever since the death of Gen. Washington

by suppers, balls and other festivities in the

NAMES TWO LEGIsLATUREs.

The Republican Legislature OF Maine met
in Augusta on Saturday afternoon, and
elected Daniel F. Davis for Governor. A
Council was also chosen and Governor Davis
was inaugurated. General Chamberlain be-
ing notified OF the election of DaYis, recog-
nized him as the lawful Governor, and re-
signed his trust as the custodian of the in
stitutions and property of the State. In the
Fusion Legislature the oath of Office was ad-
ministered TO several Councils elect, and
committee appointed by the House to con-
slider the state Of affairs. The latest advices
from Augusta report Governor Smith and
many Of the Fusion members of the Legis-
lature desirous gracefully withdrawing"
the decision of the Supreme Court having
left them nothing TO stand upon. Others,
however wish to "stick" and ask recognition
by Congress. Speaker Talbot, of the house,
is credited Of saying that the Fusion Lcgis-
lature will meet Tuesday afternoon at the
State House, but that "nothing would bet
ter suit the Fusion legislature than to be re-
fused the use Of the Legislative hall. In
such event no resistance would be offered,
but the Legislature would quietly disperse
and abide the decision of events" There
was talk among some Of the Republicans
Fridayevening,of preventing the Fusion Leg
islature from meeting in the State House.
