THE MAINE BRIBERY,

Mr.. Wallace r. White, who was charged
with having bribed several members of the
Maine legislature to remain away from the
sittings of that body, has published what is
dignifed by the name of q denial of the
charges. He says he does not see fit to reply to
the statements or affidavits, considering that
they have not sufficient semblance of truth to
entitle them to his august consideration, but
nevertheless he demands an investigation.
He objects, however, to being Investigated
by the legally constituted legislature of the
State, but insists that he shall be allowed to
select his own jury-to turn out all those who
approve of honesty in the administration of
affairs, and put in their places men who ap-
prove of any means that may lead to success.
He pretends to say that no fair investiga-
ton can be had by the present legislature,
by that insinuation casting a slur upon the
integrity of every member of the organiza-
housekeeping that they are SO blinded by
partisanship that they could give him no
chance to prove his innocence.
Mr.. White is q model Republican. He
fancies that any means that will conduce to
perpetuate the Republican party will be JUS
titled by the people. He places himself,
though charged with heinous offense, on q
higher plane than that occupied by the ma
jority of mankind, and by sneer at the
legislature endeavors to cast aside the i'm
putatioas upon his character as not worthy
of consideration. While admitting that he
had negotiations with the parties who charge
him with bribery, he denies bringing improper
influences to bear upon them, and declares
his ability to prove his assertions If
he shall be allowed to choose the judges
before whom the charges are to be investi-
gated. His letter is simply insolent, and
does not become person under indictment
for crime. He announces with good deal
of bravado, that he will pay no attention to
the mandates of the Legislature as at present
constituted-will not take the trouble to de-
fend himself against any accusations that
may be preferred against him.
The duty of the legislature is manifest. 1t
must make searching inquiry into the
charges made, and if Mr.. White is found
guilty he must be punished in an exemplary
manner. There is little doubt in the minds
OF all disinterested men of his guilt. If the
Republican party espouses his course it
must be content to share his guilt. There is
no middle ground for it to occupy. Even if
the present legislature is illegally constitut-
ed, no honest man can defend a crime of
such magnitude as that of bribery, and Who
ever shall justify the conduct of the man
White, on any ground whatever, cannot
escape the accusation Of being party to
that crime. Mr.. Whites dignity must be
taken down peg or two, with or without
the consent and cooperation of the Repub-
lican party.

Mr.. HAYT, commissioner of Indian af-
fairs, is like the rest of them. He denies
that he is guilty, and ascribes the charges
against him to the jealousy of Others who
are chagrined at his prosperity. He will
have a chance to prove his assertions before
the committee now investigating his case
The fact that Gen. Clinton B. Fiske is his
chief prosecutor is strong presumptive evil

MILITIA.
In September last an officer was instruct
ed to visit all the military organizations in
the State, to inspect every company, and to
report to these headquarters the condition OF
such, with respect to drill, arms and equip
ment.
Where it was found that the drill was neg
lectsd or the arms not properly cared for,
the company was to be disbanded and the
arms and accoutrements were, to be returned
to the State arsenal.
A thorough inspection has been made and
the following companies are reported as
properly organized, unoer good inspection
and their arms in good condition:
Major Joseph Bobletter's company, at
New Ulm.
Capt. James Hunters company, at Fari-
bault.
Lieutenant Samuel A. Sims company, at
Minneapolis.
A company has been organized or formed
at Winona, to which arms have not yet been
issued.
All the other State military organizations
have been disbanded and their arms and
equipments ordered to be returned to the
State arsenal.
Herewith will be found the report Of the
officer delegated to make this inspection.
From inquiries made at this Office by
county officers in various parts of the State,
we learn that individuals holding commits
sions or belonging to organizations that had
but a nominal existence, we're claiming ex
emption from sitting on juries and from Ger
tain taxes. In answer to such inquiries they
are referred to our statutes, which they will
find exempt none from any of their duties az
citizens who are soldiers only in name, OF
hold commissions that are merely compli-
mentary.
In order to encourage the organization OF
volunteer companies it is provided that the
members of such companies as are properly
organized and uniformed, shall be exempt
from sitting on juries-none others are ex-
empted.
STATE ARMS.
The arms IN the State arsenal are in good
condition, but the building is not suitable
for their safe-keeplng-we require build
ing more commodious, more strongly built
and with perfectly dry basement. The
present building is lacking in all these par
ticulars.

Dissolution of the Chicago Packers Strike
CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-All indications have been
pointing for week past to the speedy dissolu-
ton of the butchers union and the return OF
the strikers to work on terms dictated by the
employers. The latter have been gradually
augmenting their forces until they now have
enough of deserters from tho union and of i'm
ported workmen to take care of the limited
number of hogs which come in daily. They
will only accept unconditional surrender from
union men as prerequisite to their being tax
en- back. Packers this morning report their
old employees coming back in good numbers,
signing the papers Of resignation from the
union and asking to be put to work.
A meeting OF union men was held at the
stock yards to-day lasting several hours 1t
appointed committee to wait on the packers
and ask permission to retain membership in the
union in case they went to work. There was a
decided majority in favor of terminating the
strike in one way OK another. There were about
5000 at the meeting and if their request is
granted, all will Immediately attempt to get
work. 1t is, however. altogether improbable
that packers will give any of them employ
ment until they sign the iron clad agreement.
This will effectually break up the union.
