Editors IntelIgencer
Our County Court adjourned on last
Saturday, after weeks session, and the
transaction Of q large amount Of business
Although the county court system is in
itself nuisance and bore, our Judge
and mis- worthy associates believe in putting
business through on the fast line, in
order that it may be as little expense as
possible TO the people.
There has been q series Of meetings car.
ried on at the Disciples Church during
the past week by the pastor, Elder Ma.
lone, assisted by Elder Skidmore, Of
Bethany. The meetings have been very
interesting and profitable to all who at
tended them.
Rev. F. Dc Hass lectured at tho Court
House last evening 10 an audience OF at
least four hundred persons. His subject,
"rhe Buried Cities OF the Old World"
was handled In a manner 10 greatly de.
light the audiCe. 1t is a pleasure 10 redd
OF these ruins the records OF the worlds
grandeur in ages past, Out much more In.
leresting TO listen TO the story when told
80 eloquently as Rev. DE Hass tells ii,
Ono could almost imagine himself walk.
ing tho streets OF HerculGneum and
Pompcii, as the speaker reCounted the
many sights seen by himself while visiting
them, Egypt, the land Of the Nile, was
next visited. Her ruins were explored.
The home OF the Pharaohs was brought
to light and we could almost sec
the tombs filed with their thousands Of
mummies. We then were led across the
Isthmus OF Suez 10 the Holy Land and we
wandered over the many spots made sacred
by the doings OF the Patriarchs and
Prophets OF Christ and his Apostles. We
were led all around the shores OF the
Dead Sea; stood In Imagination on the
site oil Solomon's great temple; visited
JoseplI's tomb; the spot where Abraham
was about to offer his human sacrifice, and
many other places OF interest. At the
close we took hasty trip TO the Plains Of
Mesapotamia and the grand old ruins Of
Nineveh and Babylon were held up 10 our
gaze. But It Is simply impossible for me
70 give faint idea OF the the lecture. To
be appreciated 1t must be heard, and II Is
TO be hoped that the celebrated lecturer
will visit us again.
The lecture was one hour and half in
length, yet 1t seemed as though the audi
ence would willingly have listened an hour
longer. At the close DR.. Fullerton an.
nounced that the next lecture Of the course
would be delivered on Saturday evening,

sent condition Of affairs, to appeal to arms
or TO the Supreme Court. He was not in
favor Of civil war.
Mr.. Plaisted thought that we had better
submit the questions and obtain answers
10 them before agreeing to submit by
them, at any rate he would go with the
majority. A member inquired when the
mileage would be paid, and the answer
was made that there need be no concern
about that as 1t would be attended TO.
Orders have been sent TO commanders Of
the military companies to dismiss their
commands at the armories, but TO keep
them in easy calling distance. The joint
and standing committees will be announc-
ed from day to day as fast as the Fusion
lists come in to participate. There is but

lain disapproyes OF the action Of the Gov
ernor in shutting out from the State House
the Fusion legislature. He declares that
on Sunday last that Governor Davis
having sought counsel OF him in the
matter providingifor the exigency arising,
he labored for two hours TO convince that
official that that there was neither wisdom
nor good policy in such proceedings. He
felt II the Fusion Legislature was allowed
to hold sessions in the State House on that
day, It's members would probably have
joined with the Constitutional govern
ment and agreed To peaceful terms.
Seventeen Springfield rifles were found
concealed this evening at the State House,
hidden by Fusionists. A messenger for
the Superintendent, of buildings, was
found delivering mail directed TO the
Secretary Of Slate" to P. A. Sawyer at an
Office he had engaged on Water street.
His place will be filed by another mes
senger.
Col. White, Of Bangor, telegraphed Maj.
Folsom to report to him at Bangor, but
Folsom replied that he had Eeen honora-
bly, discharged. 4.s
The Fusion questions to the Supreme
Court are being prepared, but will not be
ready for the press tonight. Few believe
they will ever be submitted.

THE SENATE STANCE.

The Fusion Senate met in the ante'room.
Mr.. Patten said we are waitingreply from
the Judges as to whether they will enter
tain the questions from this body. Mr..
Patten believed intimidation was rampant
in the country.
Mr.. Barker said attempts were made to
bribe him and hoped resolution for in
yestigation would be passed.
Mr.. Thompson, Of Knox, believed that
frauds had been practiced and justice re-
ouired that something should be done.
Mr., Thompson, OF Franklin, was sure
bribery had been practiced In his county
and favored investigation: !,
Mr., Ellis said he wished the opinion oil
the court. He thought that the Fusion
House was not legal, but that the senate %
was o legal body and that no business
transacted by the House would stana
legally. Some action must be taken tnat
viii be recognized by the court, also some
action that would affect the GreenpacK
party In the spring eleCtiont

to-day decided question that has long
been matter OF dispute, that soldiers
who enter Soldiers Homes can not be de-
priyed OF their pensions. Ever since the
Soldiers Homes have been established
throughout the country themanagers have
compelled the inmates TO give them power
OF attorney TO draw their pensions, and
the money has been paid into the general
fund for the support OF the Homes. When
the Arrears OF Pensions Bill was passed
some OF the inmates found themselves en-.
titled TO large sums ofmoney under 1t, and
employed an attorney TO test the matter IN
the Courts. The decision will make some
OF the inmates OF some OF these .institu'
tions rich, for their pensions Lave been
withheld In some cases as long as twenty
years, and It Is believed that any Court
will hold, under the Supreme Court de:
cision, that the inmates may recover all
they have paid 10 the Home, with interest.
A great majority Of the inmates OF these
Homes are men who are totally disabled,
and who are entitled 10 large pension
some OF them as high as fifty and seventy
dollars month.
