Editor Register: I see'by the Cam
den Jou'naI that q kind friend from
Fairfield has nominated me for the
high and responsible office OF Comp
trollcr General. But whilst [ aDprc-
ciatc t he compliment, / must, for the
following reasons, decline tho nomina-

don't know why is. unless some re-
mote ancestor, ofwhom l never heard
(tor | can trace the family gcnealogy
no iu'ther back than nv grandfath-
cr, who was an honest farmer of Kir-
cudbrightshire, Scotland,) must have
earned al honest living for himself
and his biuc-cycd progeny by depriv-
ing the King ofhis revenue, after the
manner of Dirk lInltcrnik, of happy
memory, for never sec tax-gather-

experience of taX-gathercrs since the

instinct. know, however, that these
offices arc necessary, and should be
fllled by onr best men. I therefore
take the liberty of nominating for the
office Of Comptroller General gentle
man who Is well known throughout

General John Bratton, of Fairfield.
Another reason why / must decline
the nomination ia because I consented
last summer, at the request of friends
in the Third Congressional District, to
become candidate for Congress at the
ensuing election, and have made some
progress In that direction,
am satisfied with tho Democratic
party, especially the rank and file, aud
cannot see tho necessity, after the
victory at tho polls in 1875, of forming
now party. Nor can SEQ that the
party Is to blame ifSouthcrn Congress-
men who are In q majority legislate

III the minority. 1t seems to me that
tho fault Is rather with the Congress-
men than with tho party. But enough

Ions term expired and Lamson be.
come governor pro TEN. Blaine was
ubiquitous and worked until he fell IN
a fit and was in tho hands of the doc
tors for five hours. Tho Republicans
saw that they had failed tho first day
and on tho next they tried to have
their members qualified, hoping to
win tic fight by parliamentary tactics
in tho House. But again they were
foilcd. The terms Of Gnrcclon and
his Council had expired, and us the
law requires tho governor to swear
in ncmbcrs iii the presence of the
Council, Lamson held that he had no
authority Of himself to administer the
oath. The Republicans hcthought
them 'eII es Of the Supreme Court, but
tho constitution provides that the gov
crnor snail put the questions to the
Court. and since there is no governor,
tho Court cannot supcrvenc except in
the ordinary course Of law by means
OF 4no '0a,Tdnto. Again, a new COM
plication arises in this case. The SUI
prcmo Courts OF Wisconsin and South
Carolina were called upon to say
which of two men were elected. Eth
CT one or the other was. But ia
Maine if the Fusionists choose gov
crnor, the Court may say he is not
governor, but thoy cannot say who is
governor, for no one else can claim
the office except by vote Of the Leg
islaturc. A dead lock has existed for
several days with no speedy chance OF
q break. The monotony is varied by
the testimony of two Fusionist mem
bcrs that they suffered themselves ap-
parcntly to be bribcd by Republicans
not to participate in the proceedings.
One member held IL roll Of greenbacks
containing thousand dollars, whicl,
lie alleged to be the identical mono y
paid to him. Blaine vchemently de.
mics the bribery but rs it is no secret
that nc bought thousands Of voters at
the election, his vchcmcncc must bc
taken with grain Of salt.
Two facts arc apparent. First, that
despite the blood and thunder talk OF
tho Radicals, no blood has been split
and secondly, that the Fusionists have
displayed much more backbone thai,
tho Northern Democrats ever showed
before. Right or wrong, their pluck
must DO admitted, and it is this
doubtless, that lnado Blaine fall in hi.

that tho Act is valid, and they say
there will be no trouble about collect
