Abobsta, Jan. 1C. —The House to-day
sent to the Senate the names of Joseph
L. Smith, Greenbacker, and AIodzo
Garoelon, Democrat, as candidates for
Governor. The Benate elected Mr.
Smith by a unanimous vote. In con
vention of both Houses of the Legisla
ture the following gentlemen were
chosen Executive Councillors: First
district; Kdwln C. Moody of York; Sec
ond district, Charles U. Chase, of Port
land; Third district John B. Redman,
of Ellsworth; Fourth district, lleury H.
Priest, of Vassalboro; Fifth district,
Wm. M. Rust, of Belfast; Sixth dis
trict, John B. Foster, of Bangor;
Seventh distriot, Charles R. Whedden,
of Cabas.
Both branches of the Legislature re
assembled at four o'olock this afternoon.
The committee to wait upon J. L. Smith
and Inform him of his election reported
Mr. Smith's acceptance of offiee.
At 4.30 o'clock a joint convention
was held in the hall of the House for
the purpose of administerting the oath
of office. A committee was appointed
to wait upon the Governor, and forth
with Mr. Smith appeared, accompanied
by the heads of departments, the out
going Council, and the Adjutant Gen
eral. The oath was then administered
by Acting President Ellis of the Senate,
after which a proclamation was made
by the Secretary of State, and Govern
or Smith delivered a message.
In his message the so-oalled Governor
Smith save:
"A prime evil in the depression in
Maine ship-building interests to which
the attention of the Legislature is invi
ted, ae well as to the downtrodden con
dition of the laboring classes. Among
the causes of dissatisfaction are over
taxation, privileged systems of finance,
extravagant administration, subsidies
for the benefit of the few at the expense
of the many, &o. The Legislature may
meet upon the common ground of econ
omy and retrenciiment. Much was
done by the last Legislature to reduce
taxation, which has become a burden
on the State and nation. Tie charges
of violenoe aud intimidation in various
State elections I would refer to as a
matter that causes great anxiety in ev
ery patriotic breast.
Kven in oar own State there are like
charges of fraudulent and oppressive
means employed to control the action o'
voters, supported by evidence too strong
and direct to admit of a reasonable
donbt that such is the lamentable fact;
and further, it is too notorious to deny
that, not content with the employment
of such oriminal methods as charged in
our elections, there was devised and
actually put in operation a soheme to
overawe aud intimidate our late Chief
Magistrate in the constitutional and le
gal discharge of the duties of his high,
office. The firm and dignified manner
iu which he and his Councillors, under
abase and indignities heaped upon
them, discharged their responsible du
ties in conformity with the Constitution,
taws and precedents established by his
predecessors in office, is worthy of and
will receive the highest encomium of
all citizens who truly have the welfare
of the State at heart."
General Chamberlain issned another
address to day, in which he deolared
that he would be personally responsi
ble for the peaoe of the oity. He thinks
that all parties will act justly and obey
tbe law as soon as it is propounded.
Another joint convention formed and
State officers chosen, as follows: P. A.
Sawyer, Secretary of Sta'e; Charles A.
White, Treasurer; W. II. McClelland,
Attorney General; M. M. Folsom, Adju
tant General.
Beth branches adjourned until nine
o'clock to-morrow.
Adodsta, Jan. 16, evening.—Hnn
drede of Republicans are In the city,
and there Is great rejoicing among them.
The Fusionists are oorresponding'y de
pressed. There are some here who are
urging the Fusionists to resist the Court,
go forward and impeach the judges,
hut many Fusionists announce their
intention to yield. Twenty are known
to be in lavor of submitting. There is
a division in their ranks.
Neither House can organize without
a quorum—sixteen in the Senate and
seventy-six In the Assembly. They
can do nothing but meet and adjouru,
aud they cannot elect officers, or compel
the attendance of absentees ; nor can
those who stay away be fined.
Aduusta, Jan. 17. 1, A. M.—"Gover
nor" Smith liaa relieved General Cham
jerlain of all his positions, and assunv
ed command of the militia. General
Chamberlain has not replied or surren
deied yet, and probably will not do so.
Pasoou, Dec. 16.—The Supreme Ju
dicial Court has rendered its decision.
It is that the Governor has no right to
summon or certificate any one who has
not been elected to tbe Legislature ac
cording to the returns, that is, received
a majority of the legal votes polled on
a day certain iu his district, nor has
snob a person so illegally summoned a
right to sit in the Legislature or to
take part iu its organization.
The person rightfully elected can ap
pear and establish his right to his seat
against the man summoned, and tbe
olerk has no power to make up an ar
bitrary roll and exclude any one, and
the roll mast be oorrected whenever it
is wrong. The Court hold that the aot
of 1869, which gives the Legislature
the power to organize with the mem
bers certificated by the Governor, is
unconstitutional, because it enables the
Governor and Council to organize a
Legislatui* to Buit themselves, whether
the members thereof have been elected
or not.
It is true this Court has decided be
fore that the Benate oan organize with
less than aqnoinmof members when
less than a quorum has been actually
eleoted bnt that deoision does not apply
in the presence case.
Tbe Coart further decided that Mr.
Lamson was not the acting Governor,
because be was not legally eleoted by
a legal Legislature, and that the Re

thing out of the regular order to get
through a special bill of this olass, tbe
policy being to include all such appro
priations in the regular River and Har
bor Appropriation bill. Senator Ferry
directed attention to this fact, but still
did not oppose the measnre. The bill
was put in Mr. Sanlsbnry's charge by
the Commerce Committee, aDd he man
aged to get it through the Senate with
out aDy direct opposition. The hill

the latter was taking a glass of some
thing to keep out the cold, the horse
protruded his head over the bar and
looked beseechingly for something.
The gentleman having the animal in
charge told the bartender to give the
horse a glass of whiskv,which was pass
ed out and given to him.Itwas swallow

to be entirely satisfied,turned about and
suffered himself to be led back to the

iu having given one of the largest,
most orderly and enjoyable affairs of
the season. The hall was artistically
aud inagiiitioently decorated with ever
greens, Hags, pictures, etc. Suspended
from the centre of the ceiling was a
miniature Chinese Pagoda, eight feet
in length, in which was seated, a rep
resentation of the "Goddess o' Liber
ty." The Pagoda was constructed by
Mr. Jno. L. MoCloBkey, and the work
manship reflects great credit on that
gentleman. Directly oyer the Btage in
gas jets was the word "Weccaeoe,'' aud
underneath it was a life size painting
of an Indian Cbieftiau, the work of Mr.
Wm. McCloskey. From each chande
lier was suspended a silver fire horn
representing the eight lire companies ot
this city. The grand march which
took place at 10.30 o'clock was led by
Master rf Ceremonies, Charles Barry,

The Mayor informed us last evening
that he was constantly receiving letters
making inquiries in relation to the
Springer estate in this city. He re
reoeived two yesterday, one of which
goes to say that the writer attached no
belief to the claim; but the main rea
eon for his writing was to learn when
there would be an aunual meeting of
the family so as he can make inquiries
which might in the eud lead to the re
covery of a lost uucle whose name is
Springer and who is about seventy
years of age. The second was from Dr.
A. E. Watson, of Fostoria, O., who
writes at the request of Charlotte lakes,
a daughter of John Springer, of Strans
burg Co., Fa. He says: "Will yon
please he so kind as to give me the
lease of this property, of the time
the lease expired; also how much
of the original trait of land is unim
proved. But the thing is to know
when that lease was given aud when it
expired. We do not wish tospend any
money foolishly. There has already
been too muoh thrown away by people
within my own knowledge. It is too
often a money making scheme; when
traced back, it is found to be beyond
the reach of the lawful heirs. If such
is the case in regard to this I wish to
know it.

The Indian Trouble*
The New York Observer says; "There
are some incidental and inherent ques
tions that need to he more fully discuss
ed, not in the publio papers, not pri
marily iff the halls of legislation, but
calmly aud orally, iu the presence of
each other, by men of different views,
who are all interested iu having wrongs
righted, justice established, and the
interests of humanity promoted among
red men and white men alike. One
great question occupies many minds
at the present time-whether some way
cannot be devised by which the anoma
lous state of the Indians as individuals
and tribes may be equitably changed to
one of citizenship. We have within
our own bounds a score or more of tribes
with whom we treat iu many respects
as with foreign nations; who are not
dealt with according to our own laws;
or protected by our laws, as our own
citizens; but with whom it is impossi
ble to maintain such relations as we
have with other foreign powers. This is
one of many questions connected with
the subject which imperatively call for
careful consideration by the beat and
wisest men of the country."

vated assault.
Colonel MoClaue ushered the first
prisoner in the dock last evening. He
was ill-clad, rheumatic and blind.—
"Your Honor," said he, "I am trying
to make an honest livelihood. I started
to sell pencils and pens to-day on your
street corner, when a policeman came
along and oatching me by the neck,
hustled me into the gutter."
"You may go," said His Honor, and
the kind-hearted Colonel, with a tear
in his eye, led the unfortunate man
back to his cell aud prepared for him
the softest spot in the most cheerful
corner Id those gloomy oorridorB.
The next man wasn't handled quite
as tenderly, his name was Christopher
Whittick, he had been found down in
the lower end of the town drunk, yes,
so drunk that he was messenger, ticket
agent, door tender, and a whole com
pound circus entertainment all to him
-.elf. The amusement that the boys of
that neighborhood had with him was
unlimited. $2 aud costs was the pen
alty. Being incorrigible the Colonel
trotted him back and jammed him in
the furthermost cell.
The next individual was Philip Mey
er on the charge of intent to kill Adam
Dane, a Baloan keeper at tilS West
Front street. The plaintiffs head was
Hatched up with layers of court plaster
where the defendant had hit him with
a twenty pound stone, and his fingers
was badly wounded where he had been
cut by a pen-knife. The row began
over a glass of beer on Saturday last.
The defendant insisted that Meyer beat
him with a pick handle. The plaintiff
denied it aud for a few minutes crimi
nation and re-crimination followed.
The Mayor didn't think that there was
sufficient evidence to sustain a charge
with intent to kill. It being au aggra
vated assault he fined Myer $10 and
costs and held him in $200 to keep the
peace.

It was recently announced by tele
graph that persons interested in the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com
pany, and a syndicate of New Y'ork
capitalists, kad purchased the majority
of the stock of the Louisville, New Al
bany and Chicago Railroad Company.
Yesterday the purchasers met in the
Farmers' Loan and Trust Company,
New York, and organized by the selec
tion of the following new Board of Di
rectors : John Jacob Astor, Robert Le
nox Kennedy, Henry F. Vail, Samuel
Sloan, U. G. ItalstoD, E. H. Green, E.
D. Standiford, R. S. Veech, Isaac Cald
well; W. C. Del'auw, H. V. Neweomb,
F. DeFuniak, and William White
wrlght. The following inspectors were
chosen for 1881 : Walter L. Cutting
and Edward R. Bell.
The gentlemen named own $2,000,
000 of the $3,000,000 stock of the road.
Among them are the President, Vioe
Preeident, General Managers, and sev
eral of the directors of the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad Company, al
though that company as a corporation
is not the owner of a dollar in the road.
The Louisville, New Albany, and
Chicago Road will be run iu connec
tion with the Louisville and Nashville
Road, thus forming a through line di
rect from Chicago to Mobile, Montgom
ery, and New Orleans, when the sev
eral additions are completed.
It now rnns from New Albany to
Michigan City, a point sixty-five miles
south of Chicago—288-26 miles, and
has twenty-six miles additional of sid
ings. It was originally organized Jan
uary 25, 1847, and was opened July 4,
1852. On Ddoember 27, 1872, it wa3
sold under foreclosure to the first mort
gage bondholders for $3,000,000, which
is the amoHDt of stock of the re-organ*
ized company.
The New York syndicate purchased
their stock from the former first mort
gage bondholders. The road ie not now
mortgaged. Mr. Veech is to bs the Pre
sident of the company, and the necss'
sary additions and c mnections are to
be pushed to completion with all possi

Reliable information has been receiv
ed that the horses working near the
bone mill are treated with great
cruelty; the mud is deep and matted to
paste, and it is almost imposible for
the horses to walk through it. On one
occasion one horse was hitohed to a
log too heavy for him to haul on dry
ground, he soon fell and stuck iu the
mud aud was then fearfully beaten.
Onr informant says they have never
before saw such inhuman treatment.
Crowds visit the place bat no word ie
ever spoken to shield the helpless crea
tures from the cruel whip wielded by
strong and wicked hands. If the treat
ment is not instantly bettered witnesses
will be on tbe ground and arrests
promptly made and heavy fines ensue.
How long are we to wait for the minis
ters of the gospel to take up the subject
