THERE was a good-deal of talk on
the streets about that delectible
document published in the Henri
gibson of this week, and known as an
official brief" We heard of quite a
number of gentlemen who deny that
they ever signed what they are re~
ported as having signed, and some
rare developments may be expected.
Unless all signs fail, there has been
a clear case of forgery, and those
who did it will be placed in an atti-
tude the very opposite of enviable.
Again we thank Henri for giving it
publicity.
The news from Albany this morn
ing is more encouraging to the
friends of the Administration than
the most sanguine among them had
hoped for. Mr.. Conklings friends
have given up all hopes of his elec
ton, and many of his supporters
are deserting him. Fifty seven Re
publicans held a conference night
before last and passed resolutions to
the effect that in no event will they
support Conkling. Thirteen others
are said to have sent in
notes saying that they will act
with the anti-Conkling faction. The
result of the ballot shows that this
report is correct. There are now
105 Republicans in the two houses,
one being absent, sick. Mr.. Conk-
ling received only 35 votes, which
shows that there were exactly 70, or
the So and 13 who voted against him
yesterday.
The Administration Republicans
We're not united upon their men, but
the tendency appears to be towards
Wheeler aud Cornell. This would be
a good cho ce, and the country wo,,ld
be satisfied with it. "''i~'

The Eastern Argus and Boston Globe print
dispatches from Augusta containing repeti-
tion of their old game of misrepresen tation OF
relations between Governor Plaisted and the
Council They state that the Council, at its
meeting on the 20th inst, acknowledged the
illegality of their session of Aug. 18th, by ad-
yising the Governor to draw his warrant for
$4,000 in favor of the Reform School, etc.
The simple facts are: At the last meeting
the Council advised the Governor to draw his
warrant for $4,000, being the balance OF the
$4,000 appropriated by the legislature for the
Reform School. At the ''so-called" meeting
of the 18th of August, they authorized him to
draw his warrant for $4,000 of the $4,000, and
also for 1000 in favor of the State Treasurer,
and have not receded from their position that
the Aug 10Th session was legal. They did not
report their authorization for either the $4,000
or the $4,000 given on Aug. 10Th. All they
did was to advise the warrant for the $2OOO on
which no action was had on Aug. 10th. AT
their last session they proceeded entirely upon
the ground that the former meeting was legal
AS to the fling that the Governor cavalierly
informed the Council that when he wished
their services he would inform them, it is as
dishonorable and untrue as the above state
ments. After mutual and courteous consulta-
tion, it was agreed between the Governor and
Council that, in the uncertainty which exists
as to when business would require a session, it
should be left for the Governor and Council to
determine wien it would be advisable fer the
Governor to call session. Governor PlaiSted,
himself, should be the first to refute the untrue
and discourteous implications of the Globe and

Misapprehension Corrected.

Last spring we published a communication
from Saco, detailing report as current in that
city affecting injuriously the character for
chastity of ''a city official" We afterwards
learned that the official referred to in the re-
port was Mr. r. L. x. Grant, City Marshal of
Saco. We have since become satisfied from
sources which we think entirely reliable that the
injurious report, in SO far as it referred to Mr.
Grant, was wholly without foundation in fact.
We regret exceedingly the wrong thus done
and we take great pleasure therefore in doing
justice to Mr.. Grant by making the above
statement.
Our readers will of course understand that
had we known the report to have been un-
founded, as we nov believe it to be, we should
on no account have published the communica-
tion; and we may add by way of explanation
that the person upon whose accusation the re-
port was chiefly founded, has accused another
party of the offence and made oath to the
truth of her statement.-Argus.
