Cabinet RecreationS.
[From a Washington Letter

The members of the cabinet sometimes have
very amusing interviews with ladies' as the
following will illustrate:
Young Lady-"Mr. Secretary, have called
tn see if YOU can tell me when Capt. - is to
be ordered away, and where he will go to?"
Secretary-"I really do not know. DO you
wish him ordered away"
Young Lady-"No, indeed (this with very
conscious look and slight increase in color;)
"only if you were | would like to know, you
know, for you see," pnlling out her handker-
chief and putting her little gloved finger in her
mouth a la Maggie Mitchell, ''you know Mr..
now, don't you?"
Secretary" should I?'
Young Lady-"Then I'll tell you" (this
with look of determination). ,Tm going to
marry him, and if you are going to order him
off why we want to get married before. That
is ALL"
Secretary-'I have not thought of ordering
him away, and since he is going, to engage IN
such pleasant business, will not"
Young Lady-"Oh Mr.. - amt you good
I'm so glad Now I'll have plenty of time to
get ready"
admitted when the following colloquy takes
place:
will not give permission to Lieut.. - to come
Seeretary-"Any of his near relatives
sck?" scanning her closely.
Young Lady-"No, sir. His friends want to
see him so much, and you can have him come
if you want to?" -,
Secretary-"Oh! 1 see how it is. If you will
saw YOU are his sweetheart, he shall come"
Young Lady-"Yes, sir, he is!' saying this
with both hands hiding her face.
The secretary says that he gave permission
to that officer to come telegraphing to him to
that effect within the hour. All secretaries
are not like the one we are speaking of, so
young ladies must not presume upon the above
incidents for they might not be as successful as
our two fair friends were.

Garcelon Impeached by His Own
Bogus Senate,

The most significant act of either branch of
the Fusionists' pretended Legislature. is the
direct reputation and impeachment of Gar
celon's 'counting-out" methods by the bogus
Senate that he tried by fraud to create. On
Monday Messrs. Atwell of Penobscot, Linn of
Somerset, Thompson of Knox and Barrett of
Oxford, as committee on gubernatorial votes,
reported that they had examined the returns,
and the whole vote for Governor was 139,807,
with So, ,404 necessary to o choice; that Daniel
f. Davis has 6S, no; Joseph L. Smith, At ,649;
Alonzo Garcelon, q, ,S44 Bion Bradbury, 263,
and 28l scattering. OF the latter POP were OBJ
viously meant for Mr.. Davis, so that his total
vote was 1872 or only 432 Uotes short of clear
nujority ouer all other candidates.
But the significant fact is that Garcelons So
called Senate-the very body that would be
empowered accordin g to their own claim, to
sit as judges in an impeachment of the Gov er-
nor for abuse of his otfice-have repudiat ed
and practically condemned the methods by
hich eight certificates were wrongfully issued
O ma ke fraudulent Fusion majority. For
Garcelon's Senate declare the vote for Cover
:, or as they find it in the returns and substan-
tially as reported in the newspapers shortly af-
ter election; and by thus declaring the Cover
nor vote they virtually eclare that the throw
ing out of ten thousands of votes because only
three aldermen signed the returns, or on
charge of distinguishing mark on ballot, or
any other of the tlimsy pretexts resorted to by
the Governor and Council, is entirely unjusti-
fable.
In no case have the Senate assumed to throw
ont votes on the grounds put forth by the Gov
ernor and Council in support of their villain
Gus action. In effect they declare that the
votes of the cities aud other places that have
been disfranchised by the Governor and Coun-
Gil as regards the Legislature, are justly enti-
tied to be counted by the Senate for Governor.
and therefore for the other candidates whose
names are on the same ballots, and in the same
returns.
If the gubernatorial vote has been honestly
counted by Garcelons Senate, then that SEN
ate denounces Garcelon as fraud, for reject
ing returns which the Senate declare 1t is their
duty to count for Governor. and also repudate
the claims OF all their counted-in associates,
who have obtained certificates only throu gh
the wholesale throwing out of such returns as
are now declared valid fer Governor. In the
acceptance of that report on gubernatorial
votes the Fusionists have confessed the I'M
| pudence of their present attitude, and at the
same time firmly fixed the brand of fraud upon
| Garcelon aud his infamous Council

ply the effect of emotion. The man was CON
scious of not having told the truth, and his
emotion at the thought of being found out
became so great that his hearts action was
stopped by it.
Some persons acted entirely through their
emotions, and this was characteristic OF the
softer sex. He did not say this to their dis
credit. he would prefer they would act through
their emotions and let others do the intellect
ual part Some of these persons however, did
not seem to exercise their intelligence. Nota-
bly, in the fire at Turn Hall, several persons
jumped from the top story, while they might
have got down without the slightest trouble If
they had used their intelligence.
The lecturer concluded with a reference TO
those known as nervous people, or people of
restless energy and easily disturbed. He ad-
vised all such to consume plenty of fat or fat
that fat people were not apt to be nervous.

Boston Transcript: "That the Govern
or's Council in Maine was at the bottom OF
the plot to revolutionize the State, and car
ried it into execution against the convictions
of the Governor, as asserted by Gen. Cham
berlain, is borne out by testimony from the
other side, also. The Washington corre-
spondent of the Globe says that gentleman
from Maine, and who was on exceedingly
intimate terms with the members of the
Governors Council in the State, says that
he knows positively that the Governors
Council was opposed to the Governors
course in the matter of the Supreme Court
opinion. It is hardly conceivable that
single executive official left to himself would
take upon his name the infamy that is
Garcelon's portion. But a body of plotters
who can shirk off or at least divide the re-
sponsibility and skulk into obscurity, while
their tool bears the brunt, are not to be de-
tered by such considerations" They will
not be permitted to skulk into obscurity.
Their wrong doing has brought upon them
condemnation by all honest men.

The Usurpation.

The fusion conspirators are lost to all
sense of decency or regard for law. Against
constitution and law, against equity, against
the declared will of the people, they issued
certificates of election to men whose claims
the voters of the State had rejected at the
polls. The opinion of the Supreme Court,
invited by the Governor, was by him disre-
garded. The men who failed of an election,
and who were illegally and fraudulently
summoned met and pretended to organize
Senate and House. An alleged Senate pro-
ceeded to elect an alleged President, who in
turn ALLEGED that he was acting Governor,
and qualified before joint convention parti-
cipated in by House which at no time has
had a legal quorum to do business. The
opinion of the court upon these acts has
again been invited and is given this morn
inc. But meantime the body calling it
self the Legislature has gone on, regard
less of that appeal, and enacted the
farce of electing Governor. The pretender
has made an address, which he has the ef-
frontery to call message, to the fraudulent
Legislature. Inls uhoiii0loi "oe"i@h' w
present to our readers this morning.
The usurpers purpose, and unhestatlnsly
proclaim it, to ignore the Court and its opin-
ions. They purpose to defy the only lawful
authority now existing in the State. They
threaten to carry through their measures by
force if necessary, as they have so far car
ried them by fraud. They refuse to obey
law, they insolently proclaim their intention
of melting disorder. Under circumstances
like these, it becomes the duty of all we'll
meaning citizens to rally to the defence OF
the lawful authorities as recognized by the
Courts, and to support these authorities, not
only by voice and moral aid, but by personal
service if called upon. Our constitutional
liberties are menaced. We must not suffer
them to be overthrown.

The attempt to implicate Senator Blaine
in bribery business is an utter failure.

THE BLACK LIST.

Here is the list in black letters of the men
wllo, by an unhappy accident being in i'm
portant official positions, have deliberately
abused their trust, perverted the laws which
it was their sworn duty to execute justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who have sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and who have not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but have smirched
the fair fame of the State whose officials they
unfortunately are. Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
may receive the just punishment of being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly of being wicked.
To this list will be hereafter appended the
names of such other men as shall take

elected, and who become equally guilty by

THE Argus has at last got up courage
enough to denounce Gen. Chamberlain as
usurper. Heretofore it has only had praise
for him. 1t had nothing but commentator
for Garcelon's orders by virtue OF which
Chamberlain acts. But when the General
attempts to carry out those orders in good
faith the Argus begins to abuse him. In Or
der to win the appreciation of that Journal
it is necessary to betray ones trust.

THE Chicago Tribune is disgusted at the
abiding attitude of the Maine Republi-
cans, and in its haste says: ''It is difficult
for Western Republicans, whose blood has
been boiling over this infamous fraud for
weeks, to view the situation with patience.
They are disguised at the shilly-shallying of
these leaders, and at the timid, nerveless, if
not pusillanimous manner in which they
frittered away their opportunities and al
lowed the legally-elected Representatives to
be cheated out of their seats, when one bold
word spoken at the right time would have
driven the whole fusion crew out OF doors.
If this outrage had been attempted in Hi
nois, if the Democracy had sought to steal
the seats of the legally-elected majority, the
Republicans would have driven them out
neck and heels and taken their seats, and
the people of Illinois would have seen to 1t
that they kept them"
