THE FUSIONISTS HADLY KHAKEN UP TY THE DE CISION. Speetat Dispatch ta The Chicago Tribune, Avausta, Me., Jan. 4—The Fusloniats here arg stunned by the blow they have recelved, and have no iden what they will do. A fow talk wildly of Ignoring the deelsion of the Court, and persisting in thelr plan, but most acknowledge that they do not know what will be done, Not ono of thelr leading and posted on 1s on tho spot, except GE. KF. Pillsbury, but his counsel was repiniiated by Gurcelon when tho mutter was referred to the Court, in deference to the advleoof Lawyer A. P. Gould, of Thomaston, who thought himself able to framo queations that would enable the Governor to Beem to have con- sented to the reasonable and popular suggestion of ox-Gov. Lot M. Morrill without really doing 80. The Governor himself {4 absent, and all the memberd of the Council, except two, and those tho least intlucntinl, Tho Secretary of State and Ad§t.-Gon, Leavitt are here, but they cannot speak with much authority concerning tho futuro actlon, The members of tho Legislature who were counted in, and who camo to tho elty yesterday and the day before, have an aspect of dejection that ts pitlable, but they do not get much pity from Republicans, Until they realized the full scope and welght of the Court’s judymont, they comforted themeclyes with the hopo that in somo way it could yet be changed. The mora: they ponder THE MORE NOPELESS THRY NECOME, andonly the desperation of thelr case enables them to contemplate further persistence. Thoy fecl that to ylelt {a to bo lost, and yot I question whether, in the contemplation of the effect on thelr Immediate fortunes, they have yot begun to appreeiute tho full significances of the con- demnation of them us citizens and as politl- *elans whieh Js involved in thla judgment. In effect thoy are proclaimed wanting in the intelll- gence which qualifies thon to manage the public uftairs of a State, If thoy would attempt to ox cuse themselves on tho ground of thofr honest intenUons, thoy must at onco accept and carry Into offect tho opinion of the Court. ‘This is Garcelon's dilema, He has constantly, in reply tocitizons, contended that ho had acted con- abiontioualy, and had but one alm, which was to excoute fulthfully tho Constitution and the Inws, ‘Unless ho wae dishonest he must now actively extricnte hinself from whit he bas done. Sv desolato wore the Fuslonists here that, ono tino to-day, It was contemplated to send to Wa- tervillo to bring the Governor here, but, on the other hand, many favored advising tho Goy- ernor not to como hero to-morrow, becnuse It was feared the Republicans counted out would bo here to demand certificates of election from hin, which would bo very embarrassing. Prob- ably nono who may come with such a purpose would abandon the purpose because ho did not appear when expected. This shortsightedness shows Inwhat gonfusion the party ts, and 43 characteristic of its Incompetence to deal with a great problem. “When Gould was here ho ox- hibited much impatience with what ho called “the stupidity of thoso follows.” ‘To-day the ONJURGATIONS OF THE GOVERNOR for ovor submitting the queations to tho Court are falling thick all around. One of the most disgusted men ls Cupt, Black, commanding the Stute-Fouse guard. ‘The troublo with tho situation is that tho cheap politicians uro not sorry they attempted a wrong, but only ashamed that they have becn exposed. Ono man declared with an onth that It was just what might bave been oxpected of Garcelon; that bo did not know botter than to ask the Supreme Court for a cortifleate that he was nn ngs, For reasons givon, thero is little satisfaction in what any mombors here say about thelr futuro policy, Nobody can spouk with any guthority. Tho one certain thing 1s, they aro utterly cone fused and very much dismayed, and doubtful whuthor they will any longer command the sup- port of the people who have trusted tholr Judy- ment bithorty. The Republicans feel certaln that the bottom bas fallen out of tho plot, al- though they dv not yet know the manner in which tholr adversaries will ylold. They havo mude no changes In thelr own plang, If the not-vlected mombers who hold cortificates nppoar to take tholr suata, tho Republicans will provent a quorum in the Hougo, as thoy know they have tho power, until they have such assurances that thoy will consider itsufo to go in with them,— that {4 to say, until they aro -nasured that no business of any kind will be undertaken until the rightfully-clected metmbery aro seated, Be- foro this opinion was given cnough counted-in tnen had aunounced that they would not take seats to Insuro the Republicans power to pre- vent a quorum, It is confidently anticipated thut several nore will conclude now to remain athome, The decision of the Court has TURNED THM TABLES on tho Fusionists, Whureas thoy havo hithorto procluimod that any impediment to Legislative notion by tho Jtepublicans would be un assault on tho Constitution and the laws, it is now ap- parent that the persistence of tha Fuslonista in thofrachome will bo rebellious. Of course, if by any defection or misunderstanding previously arrived ut the Republicans ara permitted to have control of the Legislature ut the start, there Ia an ond of the mattor, Whilo some socom to think this is posaible, there is still a distrustof the temper of the Fusloniats, which Janot complimentary to thelr disposition to do right whon tho right {a apparent. Tho skillful munpagemont of the Ropublicans’ course thus far is largely duo to Scnutor Llaino, and it is very apparent that in astutonces and tactics ho 4g more than a mutch for tho combined talent of the opposition, Heyurding the whole businoas in tho Ught of a political game, rogardives of tho events or tho muorits of tho questions, tho ‘Republicans havo played it with consplouous wisdom, and, whilo tho folly of tho conduct of tho other side ie obvious, t waa the woight of publio opiulon 1880. Judtelously brought to bear which forced tha Fustonists to submit the interpretation of tho Constitution and Inws upon which thoy based their netion to the Court. Rx-Gov. Lot M. Sforrill, by his timely propost- tion, so seasonable In Stself and so adintmble in temper, brought the whole country to geo that the Republicans asked only for an authoritative declaration of WHAT WAS Ign, The proposition was Itself a pledge to abide by tho arbitrament of an authority to which both parties owed respect and obedience. Tho question now Is, whether the Fusionists, having consented to submit the fxeues to this high authority, whose opinion hus the forve of supreme Jaw, will longer defy the Constitution aud the Inwa of tho State under n pretext of en- foreing them. Tho decision ts reyurded by Ree publleans here a8 thoroughly conservative and thoroughly Democratic In the right algnifieance of the terms, and the opinion fs ventured by prominent lawyers that it will hereafter be reek- oned one of the bulwarks of Hepublicun Institue tlons, A FRUITFUL TorIC, To the Western Astociated Press, Avavarta, Jun, 4.—Tho decision of the Court hns been discussed freely by erowds upon the streets and nt hotels and clsowhere to-day, The Republicans are greatly excited and Jubilant, and regard it ag a consummate triumph for thelr cause. The opinion {6 freely expressed in best Informed clreles that the apposition ennnot stand upand defy the Court. It fs the opinion of lending Republicans that the Governor can du no lessthan cancel the certificates Issued to. persons uot eleeted according to the decision of theCourt, The Pustonists have no defiiit plan natured, and It will be dificult to develop any to-night, us nut moro thin twenty members are present in tho city, The number present ts about the same as tn ordinary years when neth- Jng unusual was pending, A PEW DEMOCRATS say the Governor had no business to submit the questions to tho Court; that he had done his work according to tho Constitution and laws, and should have rested his ense there, DT, Pike, a lending Democrat, anys that Gareelon bellttled himself by taking any notice of Morrlll'a letter. He had completed his work, and that ought to baye been the end of tt. It. W. Black, a leading Greenbucker, says that tho Court wont out of Its way to answer ques- tons not put to It. Cot.

Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Avaueta, Mo. dan, 4—When the Justices of tho Supremo Court left Bangor last night, Judge Libby, who had been an earnest. Democrat be- foro his elevation to tho Beneb, hud beon ap- pointed tho messenger to dellver to Goy. Guree- lon tho unanimous opinion of the Court on tho questions of law which had been submitted to thom for decision. Auothor copy, perhups more than one, hud been left in Bangor, with tho un- derstanding that tho opinion was not to be given to tho press until 1) o'clock to-day, Tho ex- pectation was that Gov. Gareclon, who It was known wns to bo present and make 0 Bpecch at a meeting to indorso his course, to ho held in Waterville last evening, would board the train at that place on his way elthor to Augusta or his homo in Lowiston.. Arrangements had been imide to obtain the opinion upon the Gov: ornor’s arrival hero and send it to the country; but ft happoned that the Governor did not take tho train at Waterville, and Judge Libby camo on with the opinion in his pocket, and, upon ar- rival hero, DECLINED TO GIVE IT OUT OR LET IT WE BEE: But, undor cireumstances that are not yet un- doratood here, the Assovluted Press hid already: begun sending the document over tho wires, 80 that It was in tho offices of the newspapers of the country before any of the Intendcly inter- ested partica here In Augusta had any certain knowledge about it, The desire to know Its pur- port hn been intonsified by certaln vague re- porta of Its churacter telegraphed from Bangor to the Lewiston Journal, copies of which were recolyed horo at 8 o'clock. "This repoft gave tho rumor that tho Court was divided on sume of the questions, YVaurlous reports were telegraphed from Bai gor to Individunls hero during tho evening, con- Nicting In tholr character, aud, ay soon as it was known that n messenger was on his way with the document, the interest was intense. THE FUBIONINT POLITICIANS HERB. had a conference in tho oyening, at tho Sinte- Tlouse, at which thoy had exalted tho course of tho Governor and Counell In vindicating the integrity of the Conatitutich and the laws, and oxhorted each other to stand firm, Thuy re- turned to tho hotel carly, and, fora Httle whilo, were quite demonstrative about tho lobby of the hotel; but suddenly thoy wero wil inissing, and tho hotel was still, ‘This was fminedintely aftor thé real character of the Court’a opinion was delinitly ascortalned, A smnalt company was wathered at Senator Iluino’s house In untielpae ton of the arrival of Eugene Hale on the Han- gortrain, hoping to obtain something definit from hin. He told thom what rumors were clr- culuting in Bangor, and was positive that tho opinion could not be promulgated until thla morning. Whon tho party were Informed soon afterwards that tho eplulon hud been sent to tho press, Mr, Hula refused to credit it, a0 posl- tively haft the Judges wlirmod that it would not yo out Inst night. THEIR INCREDULITY WAR BHORTLY CHANGED TO ASTONISHMENT whon tho correspondent of tho Philadelphin Tinessont in a dispatch warning bim not to ond tho opinion, ag they had tho full text of it in tho ollie, Although the Keunobee Jourud recelyed tho opinion by telegraph lust night, tt made no publication of it, A fow people got the oppor- tunity to read the Journal's copy early in tho day, and it ts supposed that tho Fuslonista were not jeft by Judge Livby unaware of the awkward position in which thoy aro placed by this judgment, Tho real algnificancs of the opinion was sprend Abroad frown mouth to mouth with the effect to be expected, although comparatively few of clthor party know bow complete and conclusive ‘was tho lunguago of tho Court, At tho hotels, 4a tho homes of the peoplo, on tha streets, and da the porches and pows, (f not In the pulpits, of the churches, this has boon the thome of the day's tall, but thore has boon no public demon- stration, say By og ———d ithe Governor's Coun- In this matter, and sly and honestly, He enrefully, and could PRESS COMMENT, RW YOUK TIMES," : Apectat Dispatch to Te Chicugo Tribune, New Youk, Jan, 4.—legarding the decision of tho Maino Judges, tho Tanes says: “Ingenious us may huve boon the pottifogging by which tho Governor and hls udvisens ut- tompted to obsourd the true issue raivod by the Malue conspirators, the opliion of the Court is a Aweeping condemnation of thelr course, and a Inost emphutic Indorsement of the position sus- tatned by the Republicans, The conspiracy may ho carried out inepite of the opinion, but, If It Is, no more clearly revolutionary act will have been perpetrated slice the firing upon Sumter, and no moredamning accuention can be preferred nyainst the Demoeratle purty that they have upproved an agsault on the very cltadel of free- dom, with ag enllous a deflance of the require ments of equity as of tho principle of law, The Rupreme Court has thus swept away tho entire fabric of quibbling, ttsurpation, and fraudulent pretense which Gov. Gareeton and his ussociates have erected with such Infinit pains, and with so cyntent a disregard for all that passes for honor or futr-deating umong the masa of Ameri- ean cltizens. ‘That the men who are left among .the ruins of this ediflee of fraud are 28 capable of filling the rote of the desperado us they huve shown themselves to be fitted for the role of the shyater is only too probable. Res publicans in Mulno and clsowhere can afford tu watch and to walt.” THE “HERALD'S" VIEW. Tho Herald says: “Tho guiding principle of the several opinions ts to be found in the answer of the Court to Goy. Garcelon’s second question. ‘The pith of the controversy Is touched In tho deve Jnration of tho Court that, while the Constitution culls for @ return true in cesentials, much of the constitutionn! requirement fs directory morly. The error of Goy. Garcclon and his Counell consisted in regarding every minute provision as mandatory and absolute, even though it defeated tho main purpose of ascer- taining for whut candidates the votes were ac- tunlly cast. It suffices to suy thut the whole ground on which the Governor and Council stool ta cut from under thom. The Conatltu- tlon of Maine fs so construed to make it consist- ent with justice, common sense, and the right of the electors to huye their votes counted and thelr intentions respected. We suppose the eon- epiracy to stent the Legistature will collapse un> der the weight of this opinion, and that means will be found to put the Republican party in rosdession of what they really won {n the clec- ton." THE “wontp,” Tho World anys: “The Supremo Court of Mnine has anawered, fully and direetly, tho «qucations which Goy, Garceton ns submitted to it. The Judges talk Uke Judges, not Nke pare tlsan politlelans. They uphotd the sound Demo- erntio prinelple that tbe intention of the voters, where [t can be elenrly made out, must prevail, and that the duties of canvussers ure ministerial, and not judicial, No other doctrine Is possible without depriving Legislatures of thelr right to pass upon the qualifications of their own inem- bers, without depriving the Courts of thelr functions, and without converting a board of partisans into a tribunal to decide all enses of contested elections. It is not to be supposed that Gov. Garcelon and his Coun- cil, who, by adopting the miethods of * Cipher Alley * have brought this opinion on themselves, will insist upon thelr position in the fuee of the deelsion which they have invited. There docs not now appear to be the slightest reason to fear for the preservation of the peace In Maine,” THE “ TIIMUNE. Tho Trituncsuys: “The spirit af the decision is this: Tho people are to bave thelr rights, and notto be cheated out of them. The Governor has asked for advice from the highest Court, and {thus been given him. What will he do next?” He hns gone too far to turn back. Me is fully committed tou policy of political infamy.” nosToN, Special Despatch to ‘The Chleago Tribune. Boston, Muss. The Dathy Advert ter to- inorrow will 8a; ‘he Supreme Court of Maine hus not left 9 shred of tho veil behind which tho Governor and his supperters thought to hide thomselves. By a uminiinous vote {t has de- elled every point submitted to it by the adroit: Democratic Inwyers against tho conspirators, and in favor of those whom the people elected to tho Legisinture, It is impoasible to praise too: highly the terse, clear, and emphatic language In which tho whole fabric of idle technicall- tes’ and of *carping and eaptious criticism’ isoverturned and swept away. Tho opluion of the Court is Ike # fresh copy of the charter of vur Ubertics, and Its clear, ringing sentences will bo remembered as proverhs, It lifts the whole controversy into an atmosphere where prineiptes control, and where the miserable shifts and pettifogzing devices of political trick- sters huve no welght. It deserves to be nnd willbe quated hereafter whenever designing men geck to defeat tho will ofthe people. The prinelplos laid down are such us will recommend themaelyes to every fair-minded man, and the summary at the end [8 a sovere and overwhelm- Ing condemnation of the tricks by which it has been sought to reverse tho = popular verdict. No matter what happens now, the judgment of the Court bas condemned the count-out with ull possible emphasis. ‘Tho consent of Judge Libbey, who was, before he was clected to thu Bench, n strongly partisan Democrat, ls one of tho most gratifying clreum- stunces connected with it. Nothing can now excuse cithur the Governor or the Democratiy inembers of tho Legislature for persistence in the conspiracy, and ft will be a sad day for them if thoy attempt to * brazon it out.” ‘Tho Journal will say: “If Gov.

Mr. Halstead, of the Cummereial, was naked for hisopinion, He suid, briefly, that as he and his paper viewed it, the Democrats bad played their gume in Matne and Jost. The subimisston of the matter by Garcelan to the Supreme Court was for the purpose of paving tho way fora back- down, which he could de now that the Court bad decided his nction and that of the Counell Mlegal, The Republicans would secure contral of tia Legistature and seat thelr confreres who had been counted out.
