Election Returns.
From the Bath Times. I


A guilty conscience 1t is, that makes de-
NAL before being accused. In the Argus
this morning is a formal denial that Gov
ernor Plaisted has promised to reissue to
issue certificates to enough republicans
who appear to be elected to give the leg
islature against the republicans in any
event." Why such denial' And what
makes such denial necessary? And
does not the fact of the denial afford good
ground for suspicion. and call for the ut
most care and watchfulness on the part of
the people. to guard against all possibility
Of misdoing by the Governor. 1t is a dis
grace to our State and the times in which
we live. that good ground exists for sus-
pecting the Chief Magistrate Of the State
Of meditating high-handed misdemeanor;
but the action Of the eight thieves cannot
SO soon be forgotten; nor can the declared
principles and corresponding acts of the
Governor himself be winked out of sight.
He has declared that the solemn and
unanimous decision of all the Judges of
the Supreme Court are cheap and ire
sponsible; he has declared that no matter
how corrupt and fraudulent the Governor
may act. there is no remedy.
Remember. it was upon the very ques-
tion Of giving certificates to members of
the legislature. and in particular reference
to the acts Of the eight thieves. that Plaisted
laid down that doctrine, so really startling.
Possibly" he says Possibly the Ezecu-
tire may act FRAUDULENTLY and
CORRUPTLY. in favor of a candidate
NOT ELECTED; get there IS NO AP-
PEAL ercept TO FORCE"
1t is notorious that the Governor has
acted throughout in conformity with his
expressed opinion that law is "cheap"
and that there is mo appeal" from him,
except to force.
In view OF all the facts, 1t behooves re-
publicans in every city and town in the
State TO observe utmost circumspection
and care in the conduct of the election
and in the making of returns. Let not
the smallest possible hole be left for His
Excellency TO crawl into or through.
The Eastport Sentinel says: "Republi-
cans should bear In mind the importance
Of republican majority in the Legislature,
and nominate their strongest men for rep
resentatives. and having nominated such
men they should do their level best 10

to no one man, and to no set of men. 1t

The Fate Of the Jeanette.

The Jeanette has shared the fate of the

without their ship, having broken away from

like manner the Jeanette has been crushed

WASHINGTON, December g.
The State Department has the following dis
patch from James Gordon Bennett with regard
to the survivors Of the Jeannette
PARIS, December %.
Hon. Frederick ]. Frelinghuysen, Secretary of
State, Washington:
l have just received the following telegram
from my correspondent at st. Petersburg con-
corning the Jeanette party:
General lgnatief has given orders to send
two new expeditions from Iakoutsk in search
of the shipwrecked crew, and has directed that
every available means be employed TO find
boat No 3.
On the 18th of September, as has already
been told, Melville and ten men we're met by
three Yakats. Yakats are good-natured no.
mads, very skillful in caring for disorders and
malades caused by the cold. The party could
not have fallen into better hands 1t must be
remembered, however, that from Barchoi,
where they were discovered, to Iakoutsk,
the distance is 1900 yersts, or 1,4OO miles,
with no regular means Of transport. At
least twenty days were required TO get there,
but as those who went to the rescue
started three days ago, the time necessary to
find the party and bring them back to Iakoutsk
would be about two months Nor should it
be forgotten that, although the whereabouts
of Melville and his party is pretty well known,
that of De Long, who sent forward Nende-
man and Noras out of his party of thirteen, is
not known, and that for a succoring expedi-
ton to reach him will take long time over
country where there are no roads.
The distance from Iakoutsk to Irkoutsk is
ISIS versts, or 1900 miles, with hampered
postal which will require at least fifteen days
to transport twenty-four persons. The Gov
ernor of lakoutsk, General Tschemaieff (not
General Tchernaiff Of Servia), will receive the
instructions of the Government and orders for
fresh expeditions in eight days, by courier ez-

$685. ,3j5; decrease 497 per cent in cost
compared with amount expended in 1880.
The appropriation for the year ending June

1880 per cent in excess of the cost
OF this service for 1881. 1t i.

service can be safely placed at $3.50 900, a
decrease Of S650,OOO from the appropriation
for 1852, and $242, Gas more than the rate OF
expenditure June 30, In this estimate pro-
vision is made for new service that may be
petilioned for and established after exam
ination looking to the requirements Of the

ducing star service there would have been
