sENsIBLE OPINION.
A letter has been received by a Fusionist
from A. P. Gould. The substance is as fol-
lows: Say to all that in my opinion the gov
ernor and council should be chosen before &C.
ton is taken on filling any vacancy. l also
think the opinion of the judges should be en-
tirely disregarded. We must head the State
government at all. events, il it can possibly be
done fairly. Let not Republican be seated
in either house if he can be excluded upon fair
legal grounds.
THE SITUATION.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Jan. 10.-The Fusionists
have as yet discovered no relief from their en-
barrassment, not being in possession of quo
rum and having no particular plan for the next
week. The treasurer has directed that no money
be paid from the treasury on the order
of the legislature until he otherwise de-
cides. He refused this forenoon to honor
two orders passed by the senate. 1t is ex-
pected that Gen. Chamberlain will issue
an order for the removal of arms to the State
arsenal at Bangor this afternoon. Should the
order be issued, the arms and ammunition will
be in charge of City Marshal White. While
the night Waterman was on his rounds last
night he discovered armed men in the middle
library in the upper story of the State house.
Two were first discovered and afterwards eight.
The men we're carefully secreted, secure from
ordinary observation, and were surrounded by
q large amount of arms and ammunition ready
for use. This intelligence caused consid-
cradle excitement. The Augusta police force
will refuse to act until the secreted arms are
removed. They claim that in case of disturb
ance few desperate men with appliances at
hand could DO an incalculable amount of harm.
They have been promptly removed by order OF
Gen. Jno. Marshall Brown. The rumor that
mas found its way abroad that the COVER
nor's room has been seized is false. The crowd
at the State house was greatly diminished.
The house was in session but few minutes.
All quiet in the city. Most of the members
will remain over during the Sabbath.
ARMS RETURNED.
The arms brought to this city from Bangor
and placed in the State house were sent back
to Bangor this afternoon by order of Gen.
Chamberlain. The arms were contained in Six
boxes. and we're loaded on cars in the presence
of a happy crowd. They were dispatched in
charge of Capt. j. w. Berry, of Gardner. When
the arms arrived in Bangor this evening, large
numbers of citizens gathered on Kinduskeae
bridge and greeted the ordnance bearing team
as it passed. Much enthusiasm was manifested.
and cheers were given for Gen. Chamberlain.
WHITE WILL DENY.
PORTLAND, Me-, Jan I0.-The Advertiser spe.
cial says it is understood that White, accused
of bribery, will reply that he received the
designations and certificates as stated, but
did not hold the alleged interview, and that the
story of money payments is pure falsehood'
