Garcclon is engaged ut a late hour to-
night with framing reply TO Morrill,.
IIe states it will cover ali the noints
suggested. When tho guns and an =
munition from the arsenal at Bangor
arrived tonight there was quite a
crowd at the depot, butno disturbance.
Ihcy were taken to tho State House.
PORTLAND, December 30.-The nd
ce'1tSer says conference of leading
Democrats of Portland has agreed that
the Governor and Council E:ust be COR
daily sustained; that the first business
OF the Legislature must be to admit
those elected who have not receive GER
tificatcs, and that these views will be
urged uron the Democratic State Com
mittce which meets here tonight after
the mass meeting.
BANGOR, December 3O.-C. B. Nor
ton, of Augusta, member Of the Coy
crnors staff, came on the evening train
with special ordor, signed by the Ad-
jutant General, ordering Lieutenant
Colonel White, commanding tho First
Regiment Maine Volunteer Militia,
and Major Melville M. Folsom of the
same regiment to report at the Adiu-
tant Generals Office in Augusta at 10
O'Clock forenoon Of Wednesday. De.
ccmber 81, by order Of tho Governor
and Commander-iM-Chief.
Reports are current that agents of
the Governor are secretly cnlistine
men IN various parts of the State to
form military force at Augusta at the
opening OF the Legislature.
AUGUsTA, December 3l.-The mill
tary officers summoned from Bangor
had an interview with tho Governor

corning the calling out Of the militia
companies should they be needed.
The officers promised to obey the Or
ders OF the governor rs long as lie is in

language in regard to calling out the
military. "
In accordance with the suggestions
made In the letter of Mr.. Morrill,, Gov

the Supreme Court this afternoon cor.
tain questions Of law covering tho "a.
sential points of Mr.. Morrill'a commn-

pants--the rest of his body being Gov
cred with flies. Tho other colorcL
convict had general dropsy. f.
McGaryey, the white convict, was SO
weak and cmaciated that he was una
bic to leave the shelf, and the straw
was so full OF yermin that could not
make u satisfactory examination of
him. The English language does not
possess words sufficiently strong to
express the stencil that arose from the
place.
Tho quarters in which the laboring
convicts arc consist Of two log pens,
twenty by thirty feet, separated by an
alley way Of eight or ten feet. In this
space l found eighteen other convicts
lying on the naked earth, their diseases
being. principally exhaustion and
dropsics.
Tho same style of sleeping accom-
modations prevails in these pens as do
in the hospital, with the exception
that on some of the shclvos there is no
straw at all, and from the polished
appearance Of tho clapboards, there
has been none since they have been
occupied.
l saw neither trace nor sign of coy-
ering OF any kind-blanket or aught
else. The stencil arising from these
quarters was sickening to the utter
most extent.
The cooking is done in six or eight
round iron ovens in tho open air, the
bread which examined being burnt
on top and raw throughout tho bal
aDce. saw no arrangement for boil
ing, &c.
From tho stockade I went to where
the convicts wcrc at work, and ill.,
spcctcd each convict separately. With
the exception ofnine, found them all
more or less, infected with scuryv,
and with an eruption which was cvi-
dently caused by the vcrmin Oh their
persons. There were two who were
so swollen with dropsy of the ex-
tremities that I remarked that they
should have been in the hospital, and
was told that they were there on light
work, just to do what they pleased.
None OF them possessed q change Of
clothing, and their persons, though
evidently having been washed tn
preceding Sunday, were offensive @
account Of the stencil from the filth n
clothing.
In conversation with Dr.. II. j. Nc
Alc, an excellent gentleman as we'll rs
physician, | found that he had rcfus-
ed to attend further on these convicts,
as he could be of no possible service
under such condition of things rs
prevailed; and Mr.. Twiggs, tho asso-
ciate engineer Of the railroad, with the
Geogia branch, informs mo that he
demonstrated time and again, but to no
effect, and that out of one hundred and
nincty-one convicts, on tho Georgia
side, that since the 22d day of MAY Inc
has had no sickness whatever.
The mortality above is sufficient to
prove what their treatment has been.
AS the cool weather comes on, with
the system ofthe convicts so enfecbled
by their scurvied condition, am
afraid there will be still greater NOR
tality.

respect, your obedient servant,

WS AND HERALD.

TIE WINNsBoRo MERcHAETs are not
tho only ones who complain of tho OK
ccssivc and discriminating freight
charges made by tho Charlotte, Co
lumbia and Augusta Railroad Compa-
ny. Tho Augusta News Of the 3lst
ult. says: cat meeting of Augusta
merchants, held this morning ut tho
office of Geo. Il. Jackson & Co.,
strong resolutions were drawn up,
which will be presented to Council to-
night, requesting that body to take
some action looking toward tho G.. G..
q A. Road reducing freight rates at
least so far that Augusta merchants
may not lose all their business over
the road, and be allowed to compete
fairly with other cities. We learn
that, instead of reducing rates, as re-
Gently petitioncd by Augusta mcr-
chants, tho g. 6. & a. authorities
increased them. This looks very much
like discrimination in reality" From
this IL seems that tho Railroad authori-
tios are attempting tho same game
upon tho Augusta merchants tllat,
pcrsistcntly carried on for series of
years, forced those of Winnsboro to
sock protection in tho courts. If the
policy heretofore pursued by tho man
ayers OF tho Road is to continue, the
Augusta merchants will find that thcy
can get their rights only by enforcing
them in the courts. Tho Augusta city
council has appointed committee to
investigate the matter.

- The town of Titusville, Pa, was de-
stroyed by fire last week, the conAagration
resulting from stroke Of lightning. The
bolt struck an oil tank containing twenty
thousand gallons, which Immediately explod'
ed with terrific noise. 4 column of fire
rose that appeared to be FIVE hundred feet
high. The oil then began to run in rivers Of
fire in every direction. In short time two
other great tanks, each holding thirty thou
sand gallons, we're also in flames. A small
creek separated the site Of these tanks from
Titusville, and it was hoped that the town
would escape. But soon the oil ran in a
fierce, boiling torrent down the hill, and such
were the bulk and fury of the mass that it
swept clean across Oil Creek. and in a few
moments the lower part of Titusville was in
blaze. But the confagration increased, and
the neighboring towns of Oil City and Cory
were appealed to for help. 1t is said that the
shallower parts of Oil Creek were actually
licked dry by the heat, but more probably the
draughts of the engines caused the depletion.
Help came from several other cities, bringing
steam fire engines and 6remen, but the con-
Aagration CT aid not be controlled. Two hun
dred and fifty thousand barrels of oil, and
property to the amount Of $1,5OO,OO0, were
destroyed.
Grants Opinion of the Nomination.
Speaking of the probable difficulties
in the way of raising funds for successful
conduct of the campaign by the Republican
party, the Baltimore Sun says:
The opinion is expressed generally that it
will be hard work to collect money to carry
on the Republican campaign, as the men
who would have given large sums had either
Grant or Blaine been nominated, will now
button up their pockets. The most important
and the most significant utterance which
has come from Gen. Grant, was expressed by
him on his way through Chicago to Milwau-
kie, the day after the nomination. He said
that he regretted the position in which he
had been placed, but it was not of his own
seeking, and he intimated that he had been
led to believe that there was no doubt Of his
nomination. While he spoke highly Of Gen.
Garfield, and wanted all his friends to sup
port him, he did not consider his election as
a certainty. He said that if the Democrats
made wise selection at Cincinnati, and COM
mitted no mistake in regard to the financial
plank in their platform, in that event he

- In an interview with the reporter Of the
Greenville Ne,us on Friday, about the Gin.
cinnati nominations, Governor Simpson said
that he had been for years in favor of Bay
ard, and had nominated him in 1876 as the
best and most available candidate the party
could put forth. His firm opinion was that
Bayard was the best candidate to nominate
against Garfield, and he thought he would
be. He did not consider Tilden's chances
good, as there was SO much opposition to him
in the South. Next to Bayard, he preferred
Field, who was developing considerable
strength. Seymour would be an excellent
candidate if he would consent to run. Gar
fields connection with the Credit Mobil!er,
Sanborn and DeGolyer frauds, rendered him
peculiarly open to attack. He was glad that
the Republican Convention refused to nomi.
nate Grant. In so doing, it carried out an
assertion he had constantly made, that the
country was in no danger of an empire. He
thought the prospects of the Democracy ex'
cellent with Bayard, and had faith in his
nomination.
