Knlfr and Pistol at Bodie. Bodie, January 3d.— About half-past 1 o'clock this morning a stabbing and shooting affray took place in front of a hurdy hoffce in this town, the participant!) being Thomas ] )illon and Thomas TravU. It appears that they had had a quarrel some time previous in an opium den, and had been watching for each other eTer since. Coming face to face last night, Dillon remarked, "Are you a< good a man as you were in the opium den the other night? " Travis replied, " Yes," when in an instant Dillon drew a single-edged dagger, eight inches long, and stabbed Travis in the left breast, clear through the heart. Officer Black rushed at them, but before he could reach them Dillon, struck Travis an other blow, the knife entering his back, the latter being on the ground and Dillon over him. As the officer started to move down the street with Dillon, Travis asked to be raised up, and in a half-sitting posture, the blood gurgling in his throat, drew his self cocking pistol, with steady aim fired, the ball entering Dillon's back, and passing through the kidneys, leaving him in a critical con dition. Travis expired almost instantly after firing the pistol. Travis was a young man about 23 years old, a native of Newark, N. J. Dillon is about 30 years old, a native of Ireland, and formerly a molder, but of late a sport. It is said that he was the trainer of Jimmy Trevillian in his fight with Bing Williams some years ago.

Plants that have withstood frosts , for year* have been totally destroyed, and nearly all the water-pipes in town were burct by the severe cold, something hitherto un known. Although a pretty warm rain fell here all day yesterday to the amount of over half an inch, there i 3 still in many places snow to the depth of four or five inches. Our total rainfall for the season has been over | twenty-two inches, more than three times j that of last year to the same date. Arr«>.«c«l Tor Biirslnry Boy Killed. Santa Babuaua, January 3d. — A boy named Bill Hall, bootblack at the Morris House, robbed the room of a guest last Tues day niaht, : stealing overcoat, watch, pistol and $30 in money. The theft was not discov ered until next morning, when Hall had de camped. He was arrested at San Buenaven tura to-day on a telegram from the Sheriff of fiianta Barbara. . -■.■■-' " : An accident occurred at Central City, in this comity.

Be tween 500 and COO cubic yards have been taken out, and the navigation is much im proved. An appropriation of $10,000 next year will remove all obstructions. The bodies of the three men who were drowned in the canyon in October have not been found. At Bridge creek on the night of the Uth December there were 3A feet of spow, and the thermometer fell many degrees below zero. Live stock had suffered severely in Lac La Hache valley, and settlers were on snow shoes hunting their animals. The stage, for a distance of 150 miles, did not average two miles an hour. Telegraphic communication is still inter rupted. THE MAINE BUSINESS. Various Points Decided by the Supreme Court. THE GOVEENOB'B ACTS UHLAWTUL. Countersign Needed to Enter the State House. [DISPATCHES OF SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.] Augusta, January 3d.— The military force is still kept at the State house, being on duty during the night, but not in the day time. To-night several persons went to the State house on business, but were refused admis sion, not having the countersign. Gentlemeu who preceded them advanced to the outer door, giving three knocks. The guard within inquired, "Who comes?" "A friend." "Ad vance acd give the countersign." "W. P. Low " was responded, and the gentlemen en tered, while the armed guard closed the doors on the others, who were without the countersign. No military company or other organized body haa been raised to resist the State authorities, nor will there be. To-mor row U the day fixed upon for the gathering here of Fusion members. It is thought but fe* will respond, as most of them will re main at their homes over Sunday. DECLINES. Farmingtos, January 3d. — Louis Voter (Dem.), counted in by the Fusionists as a Representative, has returned hi« certificate to the Governor, believing that the reason given for the disfranchisement of Farming ton is not sufficient to justify his acceptance of the position. DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT. Bangou, January 3d. — Following is the text of the unanimous opinion of the Su preme Judicial Court, finished and signed this afternoon, in answer to questions sub mitted by the Governor : Question 1. -When the Governor and Council decided that there ia no return from the city on Svhich Representatives can be summoned to attend and take their seats in tbe Legislature, is it their duty to order a new election, or is it competent for the House of Representatives, if it shall appear there was an election of such Representatives in fact, to admit them to their seats, though no return thereof was made and delivered into the office of the Secretary of State? Answer.— No authority is given to the Governor and Coflucil, when there is no return, to order a new election. When the teat of a Representative has been vacated by death, resigna tion or otherwise, provision is made by the Revised •Statutes for filling existing vacancies. By these pro visions, whenever municipal officers therein men tioned, by any means have"knowledge of the death sf a Representative-elect, or of a vacancy caused in »ny other way, it is their duty to order a new elec tion. If it appears to the House of Representatives there wa» an election of Representatives in fact, thur should admit them to their seat 9, though no return thereof was made to the Secretary of State. A Representative is not to be deprived of his rights because municipal officers hare neglected theirduty. i [ Question 2. — Is it competent fur the Governor and j Council to allow the substitution of other evidence in place of " the returned copies of such lists " as are provided for in Article 4, part 1, section 5 of the Constitution, to enable them to determine what persons " appear to be elected" Representatives to the Legislature by a plurality of all " votes re turned?" Answer. — This refer* to the substitution authorized by the Act of ls"7, chapter 212. The Constitution calls for a return that is regular in cs gcsntial forms, and which truly represents facts to be described by it. but much of tht constitutional requirement is directory merely. It does not aim at depriving the people of the ru:ht of suffrage, or jof their right of reprcsenta'.i for formal error 9, ' 'but aims at avoiding such result where oonititu- i tional requirement lias not been fully or been fee- i tively cxccutcil by town officers. It is in aid of the j constitutional provision to supply an omission or I deficiency as nearly and as correctly as may be. ' ' Such is tiie purpose of the statute. It is competent tor the Governor of the Council bo allow an erro ous return, or ODC tli .t is informal or defective, to be aidetl aii-1 corrected by an attested copy of the I reoord, v by statute provided. The object of the constitutional provisions respecting elections is to furnish as many safeguards as may b; against failure, cither through fraud or mistake, correctly to ascertain and declare the will of the people as expressed in the choice of their officers and j J legislators. Hei.ce the requirement that not only I shall returns be lu.ide on the spot, in open town meeting, but a record of . the vote shall be made at the same time and authenticated. - In like manner, if by accident or willful neglect there is an error or omission in the return, what can be safer tliun to refer to the duplicate statement by the record to | correct it? Ibis the statute of 1577 allows to be I done ; and, while the language is permissive, it falls I within a well-known legal rule, that when -public I rights are concerned it shall be construed as manda tory. The command is clothed in the language of ' courtesy, so cli-tbed because it could not be doubted that high and honorable officials would unhesi tatingly avail themselves of all lawful means to de clare the result of an election according to the actual fact in obedience to the fundamental princi ples of p.pular government." The Uorernur and Council are bound by the statute. It is mandatory upou them ; it impoSM a duty to the public that must be performed. Whether the Act referred to con travenes the Constitution in allowing oral evidence to be received to show the intention of voters in casting their votes, is another, part of the statute which we are now called upon to consider. If un constitutional iv the latt-r respect, that would not I affect the constitutionality of the other serarate and independent prurMont, Question 3.— Is a return signed by less than a majority of the Selectmen of » town, or the Alder men of a city, valid, within the requirements of the sain.: section? Answer. To this question we answer, that while a town may legally elect as many as n Selectmen, the well-known practice is t« elect only j three, and in such casea, a return to be valid must I be signed by a majority of them, because by no r possibility can a less number constitute a' legal i quorum. But the rule is otherwi-e with resfnet to the Aldermen of cities. Most of our cities are re quired by law to have .n m ny as seven Aldermen, | anl none of them, we believe, have less than five To constitute quorum it is only necessary to have j a majority of the whole number present, and when j such quorum is present a majority of the quorum t may do business." Supposing the number to be I seven, four would constitute a legal quorum, and I three liein;,' a majority, that quorum could legally act, although the fourth should . refuse to | join them, or should oppose their action. Conse- I qiicutlv, if the return from a city having five or | seven Aldermen is signed Uv three of them, it may I be a valid and legal return, because only four may | have been present ; and in auch case three (being a majority of those present) could legally act, al tbeugb the fourth should oppose their action and retuse to join them. When such return is laid be fore the Governor and Council they cannot know, , and t'.ey have no right to assume, that a return is ; not valid. It is the duty of Aldennen'to be in ses sion and examine ward returns,' compare and de cide the votes, and of the Clerk to make a record thereof. From that record, a certified c .py of which is returned, the law presumes that a quorum of Al dermen was present. In tbe latter work authorities are quoted to the effect that bodies composed of a definite number act by majorities of those present, provided those present constitute a majority of the whole number. . If a body consists of twelve Coun- i ailtnen, seven is th» least number that can consti- I tute a valid meeting, though four of the seven may act ;, and, so far ■as we are aware, j the law is so stated in substance by all ancient and . j modern authorities. The rule applicable to such j cases is similar to that which applies to our House of Representatives. The whole number of Repre setratives established hyliw is 151. A majority (that b seventy six|members), constitutes a quorum '. to do business. It there is actually that number present, and the majority (that is thirty-nine mem- j bers), vote in the affirmative, a valid law can there by be enacted, or other business transacted. ' If j lesa than seveu:y-eix members are present, th«n no I business can be done except to adjourn, or compel j the attendance of absent members. This is fami- ( liar law, and illustrates the principle applicable to : Aldermen of cities, md shows how and why a re- i turn signed by l-.si than a majority of thewhele" ' number may bo, and so far as the liovtrnor and > Council are concur:. is conclusively presumed to I Ih: valid. Thty have uo riiflit to gi3 behind the re- ; turn. • Question 4. — Is a return by the Aldermen of the ; city wh'ch does not give, the number of votes c«st I for each person voted for as a member of the Le^is- ; laturo, and does not show what persons were voted ! for as such members in any one of the several wards of such city, a valid return within the requirements of the nme section? Answer.— We »re not sure that we comprehend the full scope of this question. Our answer will meet all of its supposed purposes. It h immaterial whether, the Aldermen returned to the Governor and Council » detailed vote of each ward soparately, or whether they returned the re sult of all the votes of all the wards for e*ch candi date togeiher. Either mode is, a .-.tisfa. -tory way of ; I reachii the same result. The substance only ia ! rmrht lorinsurh matters. Nor is it a material j matter tint iosUad of returning all the names of i persons voted for, there is a return of vctes as ! *cxturin.r ; provided ,that, bowevir, > sueii - votes may I* lidded or subtracted from ' th« candidate, or jet of cardidatis, who appear to bechosen by ; a plurality of votes thrown. .1 he Govtruor and Ooncc 1 cannot officially kn«w, nor have they the rieht to ascertain; th»t the votes returned as scat- ; tering were not actual ballot, with the word " scat- : ifnii; 11 written , ihereon. | N.r is tbc - elation of I can Jidat«9, t» be ehosaa by a plurality votes, t ) be j 'defeated because the whole number of votes orbsl- | lot 9 may be stated erroneously, or not stated at ill. ; The Constitution v uiiains no such requirement, and i the statutory provision requiring it is entire'}' un- j important and unapplicable to cases where a plural- ; ityof votes elect. It is a well-settled rule of con- ; structioD that where the general terms of a statute ; embrace several subjects, but are found to be prac- ■ ticallr applicable to some i.f the subjects and not to others, it is to be construed as embracing those subjects only to which it is practically applicable. Question s.— Are returns from towns or cities which are not attested by the Town or City Clerk valid within the same section? Answer.— Returns fr m towns and cities which are not attested by the Town, Plantation or City Clerk are not valid. The attestation of the Clerk is a prerequisite to any ac tion of the Governor and Council in couniinsr votes. (GS Maine, MS.) If, however, the Clerk should be .ii sent, a Clerk pro tempore may be chosen, or Dep uty Clerk m»y be appointed under the statute. The returns of such Clerk pro teuipore, or Deputy Clerk, are to have the same force aud effect as if signed by the Clerk. Question C— Have the Governor and Council the right to reject the returns of election of members of the Legislature required by the same section Irom officers of towns which were not made, signed or sealed up in open town meeting? Answer. — The Governor and Council must act upon the returns forwarded to the Secretary of State. If they pur port to be made, signed ox sealed up in open planta tion or town meeting, they constitute a basis of ac tion of the Canvassing Board. No provision is I'.. unil in the Constitution or in any statute of thU State by virtue of which they would be authorized to receive evidence to negative facts therein set forth. They, therefore, have no such power. The statement of municipal officers is. in that respect, conclusive. Question". — Is » return of two persons, purport ing to be Selectmen of a town, valid and sufficient evidence of the vote of such town, when it appears there were, at the time of meeting at which the election was had, but two Selectmen of that town? Answer.— When a majority of the Selectmen are ab sent from a meeting for election purposes, or being present neglect or refuse to act as such, and to do all the duties required of them, the voters at such meeting may choose so many Selectmen pro tern pore as are necessary to complete the number com ]'V u-u ito do the duties. In case of death or removal of all the Selectmen two would be sufficient and competent to act. 'Jhe inquiry is, if a return would be valid when there should be but two Selectmen at the time of the meeting at which the election was held. If other Selectmen had deceased prior to the meeting the survivors might act, and their action woßld be legal. But the Canvassing Board is to be governed by the returns. Evidence would not be admissible to prove the fact that there wer* but two Selectmen of the town. The Governor and Council cannot officially know there are only two. Question B.— Can a person who is not a citiien of the United States at the time he legally elected or constituted a Selectman of a town ? Answer— ls in the affirmative, provided his official acts Dind the town and are valid so far as affects the public. THE GOVERNOR INTERVIEWED. Waterville, JatfOary '4th. — Governor Garcelon spent the day here, and waa called upon this evening by a reporter and asked if he had received the opinion of the Court, to which he replied that he had not ; that he had not been in Augusta since 4 o'clock Sat urday afternoon. The reporter then informed him of the general points as expressed in the opinion of t c Court, and asked if he (the Governor) should recall those certificates he had issued, and which now, under the opinion of the Court, appear to have been illegally issued. To which the Governor answered, " I have no authority for knowing the opin ion of the Court and cannot tell what I shall do." In answer to a question whether Cap tain Lewis, a voter of Farmington, had re turned his certificate of election, declining to serve under the same, the Governor said he had not received it and did not know any thing about it. The reporter then asked, "Do you apprehend any violence at the in auguration of the new Legislature?" The, Governor replied: "I have no means of I knowing. Ido not think the people are fool ish enough to resort to violence." THE FEELING IN WASHINCTON. Washington, January 4th. — There seems to be no doubt entertained here that the unaimous opinion of the Maine Supreme Court, adverse to the opinion of Governor Gareelon on all the points presented, will have the effect of speedily ending the contro versy in that State without any further seri ous difficulty. It is understood here that at least one member of the Supreme Court, namely, Judge Libbey, is a Democrat, and the perfect unanimity of the Court there fore givos additional weight to the confessedly strung reasoning by which its opinion is supported. It is generally believed that even if Governor Garcelon takes the ground that notwithstanding this dictum of the Court he cannot recall any of the certifi cates already issued, its moral effect will nevertheless be amply powerful to induce a certain number of Fuslonist holders of these certificates to refuse to take seats in the Leg islature, and that the Republicans will forth with obtain control of the organization of both houses, admit their party friends who were refused certificates and proceed to elect Davis Governor. THE QUORUM QUESTION. Portland, January 4th. — An Augusta dis patch says : The quorum question has been settled by precedents. The Senate in 1847 organized with 11, in 1851 with 15, and in 1854 with 13. In the latter year Chief Jus tice Shipley and Appleton, his associate, sus tained that point. They aieo held that each could compel the attendance of persons who had received the Governor's certificate, before as well as after being sworn in. It is said that Spoul, of Skew began, is already in Au gusta and will take his seat. Cemral Pacific KAilroap.
