The Defence Of the Maine conspirators

The Governor and Council of Maine have
given 10 the public an extended and elabor
ate defence Of their action, in the form OF a
report Of 4 committee Of their number. 1t
is doubtless the best defence that they can
make; but instead of furnishing any real
justification of their course, it affords clear
evidence not only tina, they have undertaken
TO nu'lify the will of the people by means OF
the morest and most trivial technicalitics
but that they omitted to apply those tech
nicalities where they would have worked
against them and that they deliberately and
wilfully disobeyed provisions of the consti-
tuition and statutes, as obligatory as any of
those Under which they profess to have
acted
1t is to lie remembered in considering this
report that this whole Maine business is the
outcome of plot concocted before the clcc-
ton; that many of the irregularities which
the Council have decided TO be fatal were
arranged for by Democratic and GreSnllack
officials and brought about by means of i'll
tcniiunally erroneous blanks and instructions
The report is thus a trumpcd up and petit
Jogging attempt 10 defend an Intentional
swindle. But as such it is 4 failure. II con-
victs instead Of vindicatng The consplrator7
The committee cite the provision OF The
Constitution Of Maine, that the returns shall
b. made and scaled in open town meeting !;
and give list of towns whose returns they
threw out because they Qhc Governor and
Council had lccome satisfied from aida-
wits furnished to them that The returns were
not made up in the town meetings, but after
they closed. But 10 begin with, the Coun-
Gil had no RIGHT to 20 behind the face of
the returns. That is for the Legislature
10 do. if it is necessary 10 be done by any
body. Tie Constitution of Maine provides
I that
The G0vc.npr Gnl Council shall examine the

Hnrrah for the Other Hancock.

A Republican paper recently stated
that Benjamin Hancock, father of the
General, was a cOpperhead during the
war, and that when the soldiers OF the
county in which he lived were preparing
for the war, he refused to permit them
to cross the bridge over the Schuylkill,
which he was stockholder, without the
payment of toll The soldiers told him
they were marching to battle for the
Union, and against his protest opened
the gates and crossed the bridge. Com
menting on this statement of the Repub-
lican paper, the Meridian, Mississippi,
Mercury says:
"Hurrah for old Benjamin Hancock
He stood on principle and private right
until oserpowered by force. When these
soldiers told him they were marching to
battle for the Union he knew it was
lie, and that they were marching to bat
tie to destroy the Union and establish
government of force. He knew they
were marching to turn their bayonets
against people who had never harmed
them for the exercise of a constitutional
right, and his soul revolted at the injus
tice, supposing the story to be true. 1t
is true the son marched with these SOL
diers against the better judgment and
better heart of the father, but he was
soldier by profession, and obeyed orders
from discipline and habit. If he hadn't
been soldier, no doubt, he would have
been the son of his father"
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
Mercury ardently supports Hancock and
English, and is doing its best to rally the
Solid South to their support Indian

An American MissiOnary's End.

Full details of the murder of the
American missionary, Mr.. Parsons, who
for several years past has resided in the
neighborhood of Ismid, in Armenia, are
published by the Daily News Uondon).
He lately undertook a journey through
the Armenian villages in the environs
of Isnik for the purpose of visiting vari-
Gus congregations of Armenian Protest
ants. On his return he was overtaken
by the night on the shores of the Lake
of 1snik. AS the weather was excess
lively warm he decided to pass the night
there with his groom, an Armenian
named Garabed. They tied their horses
to the 'trees, and slept on tie ground.
Two young folks FROM a neighboring
village ON seeing them asleep approach
ed them noiselessly and killed them
with their daggers by repeated blows.
Wishing to destroy the traces of their
crime, they stripped their victims and
then proceeded to take steps to burn the
bodies. They gathered a quantity of
brushwOod for that purpose, but tor
rent of rain falling suddenly they were
prevented from carrying out their de-
sign. They then went home, leaving be-
elers. At this moment an Armenian
of Baghtchedjik, whose horse had been
stolen by the Turks two days before, was
passing through the field in which the
murders had been committed, searching
for his horse. He saw and recognized
the horses of Mr.. Parsons and Garabed.
He also discovered their bodies, and ran
to the village for help. Ten Armenians
at once ran to the scene of the crime.
The two murderers had gone home and
shown to their father their booty, which
consisted of watch, several medjidies
leach being of the value of four francs.
and other articles. The father advised
his SONS to go and burn the bodies. They
obeyed, and were carrying wood to the
place of the murder when the Armenian
peasants met them. The Turks were
well armed, and the Armenians were
without arms, but they attacked the
murderers, and disarmed and tied them.
While this was being done one Of the
Turks cried: 81 did not kill them, it was
my brother" The Armenians conveyed
the murderers to the chief of police in
Ismid. They then avowed their crime,
and added that originally they had de-
sired only to rob the travellers, but had
killed them when they saw that they
were GiaOurs.
