Boston, 1.-THE Journal has a specia
from Lewi;ton laying the excilemeCt her,
tonight is inteose. FuEiCnis;s opealy
boat that they have 600 men il Lewis
ton ready TO obey orders ON Lamson
Over sixty fusionists, every one reported
heavily armed, have left here to-day by
3 circuitous route for Augusta. The
Lewiston Light Infantry, one Of the two
Irish companies in the state, are reported
willing to obey orders from Lamson,
| though McGillicuddy, the recently cleo
ted captRin, has not received his commits
sion. The Auburn Infantry and Lewis
ton Artillery would both obey orders
from Chamberlain if there should be a
conflict of authority.
A Herald special from Augusta:
Fusionists do not attempt to conceal that
to-day their cause suffered serious blow
The party shows signs Of disintegration,
and although some sanguine spirits think
new start can be made tomorrow, yet
the prospect is anything but cheerful for
them and weaker minds are disp osed to
admit thststhe fight is lost. Correspond
ingly eXultant are republicans. They
declare that this is the beginning of the
end, and feel surer than ever Of victory.
Augusta, Me-, 15.-Some fifty men
came from Bath last night under com
mand of Captain Whittemore, having
become alarmed by the report that the
safety Of the capitol was endangered.
There is good order this morning in
every department.
The DAILY Standard (democratic)
calls Gen. Chamberlain q usurper. In
reference TO the expected opinion of the
court, it says: We have no concern
about the questions or answers. The
state authorities are quite Indifferent to
both. Sure we are, they will have no in
huence upon the action of the properly
constituted authority Of the state.
n either the governor nor the legislature
will retreat or surrender the fort till it is
bombardedby more effectusl missiles than |
psper bullets. Republicans will find out |
what 1t Is difficult for them 10 under
stand, that they have got to obey the |
avs and submit TO the lawfully ordained |
authorities ofthis state, as well as other |
persons, and the sooner some of them |
earn this fact the better it will be for |
hem.
The ramor that General Chamberlain
lad recognized Lawson ss governor,
proved false upon inquiry at head quar-
ers.
The senate met at 10 and took recess
Until 3.
In the house the committee on elections
epOrted, giving the seat Of Donnels, of
Westbrook, republican, to Merit w.
'tiles, democrat. The report was car
led without opposition, and Stiles
qualified and took his seat. Notice was
yiven that a hearing w,uld take place
his afternoon on the Vassalboro and
1mbden contested cases. Recess was
hen taken until 43O this afternoon.
a fusion caucus will be held this even
ng.
Attorney General Mcclellan denies thst
Ie had been preparing warrant for the
rrest Of Chamberlain.
Boston, 15.-The Journals Augusta
pecisl says The prevailing opinion is
hat the fusionist branches will proceed
D the election of governor to-day. If
hey do twill not have the significance of
etterdsy, and will probably be unsc-
by any idea of the employ
lent Of force to break down the power of
General Chamberlain, as they intended |
, do then. II they do this it will be in
rder 10 make all the progress possible
efore the decision of the court is resched. |

1ought Of using force again-t General
chamberlain.
