Washington, Dec. 31.-A new and possi?
bly s vital question of the Maine contro?
versy is now exciting great interest in Wash?
ington. It la thist "When does Governor
Garcelon's term of office expire f Tho Gov?
ernor is known as a great stickler for the lotter
bf the Constitution, and it is no more than fair
that being such, lie shoulu be required to al>id# by
all of its provisions. Section 2 of Article 5, Part 1,
of the Constitution of kaine says: " The Governor
?ball be elected by the qualified electors, and shall
bold his offioe one year, from the first Wednesday
of January in each year." 'lb* first Wednesday of
January, 1870, was also the first day of January.
It is asserted, therefore, that Governor Garcelon's
tenn of office expires to-morrow noon, and that any
exercise by him of the functions of Governor after
that hour would bo a usurpation of authority.
A T ki bu ve correspondent to-day called upou Sen?
ator Carpenter and asked his opinion of the mean?
ing of tko provision of the Maine Constitution
quoted above. After bearing it read. Senator Car?
penter said: "There eau be nothing plainer than
that under a proper construction of the language of
the Constitution, Governor Garee.)on cannot exer?
cise any authority whatever aa Governor one hour
after the expiration of one year from the 1st of last
January."
By Tiiaawl ?t iMftaa Carpenter, the correspond?
ent then read the provisions ot um Constitution re^
lating to tba manner of niling a vacancy tn the
office of Governor, atc After deliberate considera?
tion of tba several provisions, 8enator Carpenter
?aid! "There ia no avoidingithe conclusion that
during the next six daya Maine will be without
either a Governor or a Legislature. The
Council will be powerless to do anything,
because that body cannot act except in conj uric
"with the Governor, and there will be n

true that it is the intent of the Constitution and
laws of Maine that a majority of tue qualified
voters in each Legislative Dwtnet of the State
shall decide who shall represent them at Augustu.
This manifest intent the Governor and his Council
have set at naught bv their strict adherence In the
lefter nf the Const nut io,- and law, in MUN of
their spirit.
Republicans in Washington expect to tee their
friends in Maine take advantage of this new feat?
ure of tho situation, and hold Governor Garcelon
responsible as a usurper aud insurrectionist if he
undertakes to exercise any of the functions ot the
Exeeutivo of the Htate after nt>on to-morrow. It
has been suggested that the President of the Senate,
who is ii Ropublican, ho sworn in to-morrow to
servo until next Wednesday, and that lie
dispute with Governor* Garcelon tho right
to the place. If ho should do so there
might possibly arise a ase within tho next few
days aud before tho meeting of tbe Legislature of
Maine for tbe interference of the President of the
United Slates in suppressing an insurrection against
the ulleged constituted authorities of tho State.
Then Mr. Hayes would have to decide, first, whether
the trouble was of such a serious and threatening
character aa to warrant or justify his interference,
and, secondly, which side l.e would assist. His
decision in such a case would be ti un I. and could
not be questioned. If the President of rile United
States decided tli;.t tho President of the Senate was
the lawful Governor, that act would make him so.
It is not, of coulee, to be supposed that the Presi?
dent of tbe United States would make any decision
which would not be sustained by the Coustitutiou
and laws of the State.
The Administration here, while lt. has expressed
the opinion tbut tho people of Maine would settle
their troubles themselves, has at tbe same time
beeu looking up tho constitutional pro?
vidions in regard to casca like the present, aud
tbe law passed in pursuance of them, as well as the
precedents and legal interpretations, and hus caused
them tobe codi tied tor use. It bas been suggested
to-day that it was in anticipation ot just such a
contingency asis new likely to arise that this ex?
amination bas been made, and that whatever the
President may do, if be is called upon to set. he will
be able to do without much delay, lt IsconfidentK'
expected herc that them will be interesting nowa
fiom Mame within the next two days.
The first and only Constitution of Maine was
ratified by ihe people tn 1820. Knee thea several amend
menu have been ratified by the people, nut no new Con?
stitution has been adopted. In the original Constitu?
tion, tertian I of Article I., Part 1st, reads an follows :
" Tho Governor shall be elected by the qualified electors,
and shall bold bis office for one year, from the tiru
Wednesday of January In each year." The first Wednes?
day In January was at that time, as now, the time Axed
for thc meeting of the Legislature. In 1840 the follow?
ing amendment to the Constitution was rallied : " The
annual meeting of thc Legislative shall he on the second
Wednesday of May In each year ; and the Governor ? id
other State officers elected for the political year com.
mencing on the first Wednesday of January, In the
year of our I/ord 1849, shall 1. dd their

und Governor-elect Cornell, as he passed Utroogh
the little pat li ubotit the Old Capitol on his way to
pay a friendly visit to Governor Rollinson, must
have tboaghl as ho looked at the leadens great
trees, the whirling snow Hakes, and expanse of
snow, that the elli had a most becomingly midwin?
ter look. Beyond thia visit the Uorernof-elect did
lit tie of note during the day. Most of tbe members
ol his military stall'ailivetl ami were heartily wel?
comed by him. Mr. Cornell baa berti fortunate in
the sch ct ion of this stuff: it being con posed inuinly
of tall and portly nun.
'1 he Important office of Secretary to the Governor
has not been lilied. It la stated that Mr. Cornell
desires to have a y tung, capable, ami energetic
lawyer fut this posit nm, ami liaaoffered thc place to
several mon of tola etatup, but that (hey have nil
dtdu.cd it on the ground tliut tho salary of the
office waa not sn fcrcat us their present income,
lor ii fortnight to come, at least, tho (lor?
ant tau tin without the assistance of a
?etary. Governor Robinson is reported to have
said that, as the remit ot his three years'experionco
in the office, he wjiuld adviso Me. Cornell to retain
some of tho clerks in the Executive Department, in
order that bad blunders might be avoided in the
transaction of its intricate affairs. No appoint?
ments in the department have yet been made by
Hr. Cornell, although it ls reported Dwight Law
renee will receive tho appointment of Military Sec?
retary.
(jo vernor Robinson to-day dismissed the charges
brought agaioal KegvUer Loew, of New-York, by
the Kai Association of that city, The chartres were
mada dilling tba nust Winter and early in the
Spring, tbe Governor announced that he would sus?
pend judgment on them, promises of reformation)
in tho conduct of tho affairs ot the office having
been made. Thii was considered hy the public a
practical dismissal of the sbargea, Doubtless to re?
move all chance of Governor Cornell troubling him?
self with an examination of tba charges. Governor
Robinson appended tho following memorandum to
the pipers to-tlav :

smiled when he reSeDed this point in tho pet it nm.ami
tu have said," il wouldn't hurt the state any, 1 think,
if Coburn should lose thirty pounds more." Dm um
the past two months the (Jovernor is said to have
pariioned fifteen persons. Usually Governors open
wide the floodgates of their compassion to
prisoners at the end of their terms. This course
may be a relaxation from tbe strain ol guarding
themselves for months before against sp
peals to their sympathies by friends of
convicts. These persons, many of them
women, are very persistent In their attempt*
to aaoure paidona. On* weah during, tba
past Summer foifr women waAted in the Gf^WnorVi
ante-room determined to see him; although they
has I been asenred that their petition bad beep oare
fnlly examined, and that their prayers could not be

"Tho change nf administrations is useful in secur
ffig a thorough sfcrrftinyfdf'tbe^tate's .'^flairs. The
present chango ba's brought about lin amusing dis?
covery. Opye'rnor-elect Cornell 'applied' for
derails * of| the bnilding of 'the' 'new
Capitol * for his message, to Canal Auditor
8cTm*yler, or.c of the Capitol Commissioners; Mr.'
Schuyler at once sept fiirtf a^siateiriVnt^'of tbVcost
of tlie Capitol up to 1&7D, and tho amount expended
on it fh'eprase'nt.year. Mr. Cornelly in rep Iv said that
t icrc m u st boooain dsscropan ey between the accounts
of tlie Capitol Commissioners and the Governor's, as
de Governor in his annual message for 1870 bsd
stated tbe cost of. the CaoUoL would bo a.certain
a mount; and the Commuwioners baa acknowledged
spending over $ftOt)#&0 'tho. present, year, while
tjtatrng- tho-cost, of the GamtojLta he-a
certain sum up to 1R7P. If the total given by the
Governor were compared with that of -tlirf'Coairata7
sinners, however, Mr.- Cornell said, ? ii. wanhUaeeiu
that the Cotiiiuittsioiiers bad spent only, $250,0p0,
instead ' of $1)00,000 the ". promt year.,
Auditor Schuyler, upon (Bretni ? investi?
gation, found that ever siueo 1874 it bini
been the custom of thc Capitol Commissioners to
exclude the sum nf f0o6,000 expended iii the pur?
chase, of lands from the annual report on thc cost of
the capitol. However, tbisdid not deceive the people,
as the Governor showed bv the Controller's books the
actual amount expended for the building. At the
Anal meeting of tito New Capitol Commissioners,
on Tuesday, tho Superintendent of the Capi?
tol. Mr. Eaton, was directed to hereafter
in.Iiule this ummiui in his annual statement
as to tho expenditures for the building. Un?
doubtedly the obi Capitol Commissioners bad no
otberdeaigu lu suppreasjngnsention of fl)is$030,000
than to lessen in the eyeSwrthe people tho amount
the new Capitol was costing the State. There was
a good deal of Averse criticism in 1874 regarding
thc cost of tim si ni ci ure, ami'tho separnttou
of the cost of the building lrom the cost of the laud
upmi which it rests, with other outside expenses,
was nt> doubt tlmnaht tobe a legitimate method of
diminishing the opposition to further expenditures
? m the building.

charges inatle in the indictment, ami said the
