LAWLEsSNEss AND DISORDER
The New Era Counsels Resistance.

The New Era got out an extra yesterday, in
which appear the following infiammatory APP
peals;
All day yesterday and far into the night the
office OF the New Era-Leader was crowded with
earnest, active Greenbackers, and we heard
but one expression of opinion,-that there
should be no yielding to the Republicans; but
that Governor Smith should be sustained, and
we feel that we can assure to the Governor and
to the members of the Senate and House the
hearty and earnest support of the Greenback-
ers of the city of Portland and the County of
Cumberland, and we doubt not but of the
whole State also.
This is not moment to hesitate! This is no
time for weakening! This is no time for hest
tation. WE ARE RIGHT! The opposition
must stand firm! Let this be remembered
Congress is ours! Blaine may rule in Maine.
He may through General Chamberlain, the
Little Schoolmaster," as he once called him,
control the military, and an obedient Court
may decide if he but nod, but he cannot hold
back the Congress of the United States. We
must appeal to Congress to give us Republi-
can form OF government. Our own Murch,
who knew so well the condition of affairs here,
and the noble De La Martyr, whose eloquent
voice told so well for us when the battle had
but commenced these and others we may
look to and ask, and expect, that they will
champion our cause before Congress.
FrieAds, Representatives of the people, men
of Maine, let this opportunity not be allowed
to pass. Let no one think of giving way; let
not single backward step be taken; let Con-
gress be appealed to. From the decision OF the
partisan Court; from the dictatorship of mill
tary commander; from the mob calling itself a
Legislature: from the rule of a self-constituted
Governor, let us appeal to the whole people
through the representatives of the people-the
Congress of the United States.

THE SUPREME COURT DECISION.
Anxiously Waiting for News from
Augusta

On Saturday morning the military companies
of this city belonging to the Maine Militia re-
ceived orders from Gen. Chamberlain to hold
themselves in readiness to obey orders from
him to march to Augusta in case their services
were needed. These companies are the In
fantry, Blues and Montgomery Guards. They
all stated the decision of the Supreme Court
ratisfied them and they should obey orders only
from General Chamberlaie.
The Supreme Courts decision was received
with more interest probably than anything
that has appeared in connection with the af-
fairs at Augusta since the trouble began. The
decision, published in Saturday morning
PRESS, was probably read in every household
before breakfast. The Republicans were of
course jubilant and the Fusionists correspond
ingly depressed. A large number went down
to Augusta to attend the meeting of the Re-
publican Legislature.
There was great interest in Portland to hear
from Augusta all day. When the dispatches
were posted on the boards at the Merchants
Exchange announcing that prominent fusion
lists said ifsthe Fusion Legislature was defeated
orders would be issued to their adherents
throughout the State to apply tie torch, there
was general shout of indignation. The news
quickly spread throughout the city, AID we
failed to hear man of the fusion party in this
city but denounced such conimunistic language
in the most emphatic terms. This despatch.
together with Smiths views of the enforce
ment of the liquor law as stated in his message,
about killed out all interest in him or his Leg
islature that many OF the Democrats had pos
sessed, and produced healthy sentiment on
their part in favor of the decision of the Sa-
preme Court
When the news caine of the election of Gov.
Davis and of the Republican State officers, and
that several of the fusionists had taken their
seats with the. Republicans there was gener-
al feeling that the "bottom of the great steal'
had dropped out.

A Possible ImpoSter.

In Worcester, Thursday, stranger stopped
in front of store and began to act strangely
rolling his eyes and gasping as if short OF
breath. He was taken into the store and made
as comfortable as possible. In his pocket was
found piece of paper on which was written
in bold hand, Subject to neuralgia of the
heart, don't give me morphine; my name is
A. Oppenheim, Portland, Me-" He appeared
to be unconscious part of the time, but he was
able to say atintervals that he was on his way
from Hartford, Conn, to Portland. He re-
peated death-bed prayer in German, but his
symptoms of sickness were such as to excite
the suspicion of two doctors who we're called

avoid imposition he was sent - the hospital
rather than provided with money.
