TIE OUTLOOK. EXCITEMENTS AND DISCOMFORTS, Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, AvoaurtA, Me., Jon, 6.-—To-day has been a day of excltements and discomforts, and thore aro yery fow of all tho crowd hero who know defnit- ly whnt tho results of all the caucusing and committee work is, Tho whole Stato has emptied Sts politicians into this little clty,and as tho weathor has been disagrecable enough to keep nll in-doora who aro not obliged to go out, tho lobbies of tho Augusta Howse, on Capitol Till, which is the centre of interest, have been crowded all day long. Tho Republicans are in 4 large majority, and all the leading men of tho party aro in tho city. Those who aro arranging tho program HAVE DEEN BUSY ENOUGI. ‘Tho rest have been discussing all the phases of thia unexampled eltuation with tholr friends or their political foes, ‘Tho announcement is made that the Mayor of tho city has closed all tho places whero Hquor is sold, although it {8 not quite clear why there should be any neccasity for such action ina State whore no Hquor ts sold atany time. At ull ovents, there {s no appuront intoxication, and thero hng been no bolsterousness, no cheor- ing, no loud boasting, fow discussions between individuals which attracted n crowd, but 1 con- stant hum of busy conversation, all eager to learn and to tell the latest report which had any significance. Yesterday tho Fuslonists wero in botter spir- ita than tho day before, and showed AN UGLY AND DEEIANT TEMPEN, which boded inischlef. ‘To-day they aro not nearly so boastful, and appear to begin to ronlizo tho condition into which thoy have got them- acives. Gov. Garcolon is almost haggard in bis appearance, and bears himsolf like a man who is overwolghted with responslbilitics, Tho Committeo of meinbers of tho Legisla- ture appointed Inst night wafted upon him this morning, and requested that the military guard and tho urme be removed from the State-Housc, ‘Tho Governor promised to consider the matter, Ho catled Gen. Chamberinin in consultation, and tho General, referring tho question of tho legality of the using of arms {n tho Btate-Houso and tho arming of mon not enrolled in the militia of the State, was informed that thero was NO LAW FOR IT, Tho arms were ordered to be boxed up, artd thoy will, it ls understood, bo removed from tho State-Ilouse to-night. Gen. Chamberlain has entled upon the Super- intendent of State Bulldings to report to him forthwith the rostor of tho men employed aa guard in tho State-Iiouso, by whoso order they wore enlisted, for what purposo, and out of what fund ‘thoy are to bo pald. Thoy aro already dlacharged, and to-morrow tho Btato- House will bo guarded only by olviltan polico under chargo of the Mayor of tho city or Sheriff of the county, Tho State-HTouse will be open to tho publlo under proper regulation, and thoro will be no ticket system, as proposed Inst night. Tho Committee to armnge a program of Action has been fn session nearly ull day, and thelr pling aro well advanced, - Thoy have caro- fully considered every probable contingency, and prepared for it, but what thelr plans nro is ef course ‘THE COMMITTER'S BECKET ut present, and they don’t moan to have it got outif thoycan guurdit. Thoro is no doubt, however, that they huvo strong hopes of being ablotoscouro the orgnnization of the House, ‘Tho Fustoniste, with all thoir oxertions and ap- penis, have not been ablo ta rully hore to-day but alxty-four members of tho House, It is doubtful whother they will bo able to hold on to these to-morrow. Qnoof their num ber, Swan, of Bfechnate Falls, abandoned them to-day, publishing 2 lotter to that effect in tho Tewlaton Journal, Hocamo on here, howover, and was Intimidnted {nto a recantation of his Jottor, nnd uppeared In thelr caucus to-night. Ho has succeeded in showing how weak a char- uctor hols, It isknown that bettor men aro to- night nervously contempluting taking them- selves out of that crowd, At tho Nepublicay caucus to-night thore wore ninoty elected members present, sixty-two of them being men who hold certificates from the Governor, One of thoso present at the Ropub- lean caucus was Mr, Spriule, of Veazte, clooted 4a Democrat, who has repudiated tho purty on account of tho commiasion of it by ita Icndere to this fraud, Ho purticlpated in tho cancus asa Republican, Thoro was great ontbusiasm and confidence jn tho caucus, and ovory man pledged himself to support the program of tho loadors, ‘There will be NO DEFECTION : in the Republican ranks, It is not untkely that when tho time comes for the House to meot tho conditions will bo so well known that tho Re- publicans will go jn, and will suocecd in getting the numos of those elected in tho oltics, but counted out, put on the Olork’s roll before an organization Js attempted. Thero {g now no chance that the Fusionists can obtain 9 legal quorum in the House without tho ald of Republicnns, Staples, Clork of tho prosont Houso, fs In the city, and has notified tho Fuslonists that ho shatl rulo, if ho calls tho Houso to order; that not less than seventy-six cau constitute aquorum, Tho Pillsbury crowd want him to absent bimself, and tot Assistant Clork Gibbs, who witl do what thoy tell bim, to preside, It ls rumored to-night that the Democrats havo concluded to yicld on the question of a quorum, but this {s doubtful. The course that will bo taken in the Henate cannot be so clearly stated. It docs not appear to be easy to Proyent a quorum in that branch, and J. D. Sampson, whom thoy will make the President if they cau, will bo acting Governor of tho Stato untila Governor ls chosen. Holsa mun who will do what the leading consplratora desire, ‘Whon the Govornor was informed to-day that thoro had been a hundred or moro mon on duty at the Capitol under tho officious Capt. Blook, he EXPRESSED PROFOUND ASTONISHMENT, and said he did not suppose there hud been moro than six or oight, aud that thoy wero policomen. tis probably true that in this and othor matters this ignorant and impotent old man has been Imposed upon by tho unscrupulous ard frre- sponsible creatures who surround him. Tho whole crowd will be fortunate {f they do not soon find themaclves enlled to account in a serl- oun way for thelr malfenannce. ‘Maj, Joseph L. Sinith, the Greenbneker eand!- data for Governor, arrived here this evening. It {8 supposed he lias an itutpural address con~ cenled about his person, In full confidence that he will be chosen Governor to-morrow, Tho chances are that ho will have no Important ‘buriness in thia city after to-morrow, Tho Republican Heperentatives from Portinnd presented their demand for certifientes to-day, and tho request: was referred by tha Govern- or and Council to the Commitice on Elece tions, atthe head of which is Counelilor Foge. It in understood that the Committee will report to-morrow at Do'clock. A fayorahte report is not. expected. Tho report will probably be to refer the matter to the Legisinture, and per- hapa the report will be REFERRED TO THR NEXT COUNCIIn At 12 o'clock the fow Fuuioniata about tho hotel corridors do not hesilthte to arknowledge their want of confidonco {n the fasue, Councillor Fogg short timo ago rald to a Greenbucker who approached bim with a woful face and saving that he feared they were beaten: “Well, damn it, wo have done every- thing we could.” cy ncknowledye that they will Inck alx_of having a constitutional quo- nunof the House, and the Republicans think thoy’ ure not Justitied in expecting seventy of thelr men to cume in. INCIDENTAL, REPUBLICAN PETITIONS. Audra, Me., Jan. 6.—Petitions to admit the twelve counted-out members from Rockland, Bath, Saco, Portland, and Lewiston wero presented to tho Governor and Council this fore- noon, and a hearing was appolnted for this afternoon. The attempt to Influence Mr. Voter, of Farm- ington (counted in), to abandon bls position of refusing a certificate failed. Ifo declined to participate in tho proctedings in tho Legisla- ture. Mr, Sproul, of Vensic, was labored with on Mondny, but still adheres to his determination to keep away from tho Legislature. Three othor Fusion members are known posl- tively to refuse certificates, and one or two ure dotalned at home by sickness. Tho remaintter aro here participating in varions caucuses, but it !s not known‘ whother all will take part In tho organization. é Mr. Hobson, the counted-in Senator from Lin« coln, says that hu intends to DO WHAT 18 Mant and follow the Greenback purty, To should take ble seat and immediutely move for n com- mitteo to investigate tho election in Lincoln County. Whilo he thought tho votes thrown for Andrew I. C, Smith and Andrew R..G. &mith were for tho same person, be wns satisfied that he (Hobson) was entiticd to his reat on the ground of fraud, intimidation, and bribery. Fifty extra men wero placed in tho State- House this morning about 1o'clock, It is stated that 100 more armed men will be placed there to- night. Gon. Chambertin announces a partial organi- zation of the State militia, with tho headquar- ters of tho First Division established in Au- gusta. THE POLICE, Avauara, Jan, 6.—Gen. Chamberlin has taken charge of the polico forces at tho State- Houso, and the guns from tho Bangor arsenal have beon packed away In the basement, Both parties hold thoir caucuses this evening, WILD NOT PARTICIPATE. Thomas B. Swan, Democratla member-clect of the Houso from Minot, has written a letter to the Chairman of the Democratic and Green- back caucus that he will hot participate in the organization of tho Houge until it shnll fully determine to obey the mandate of the Court, The Governor did not ugreo with tho Commit- tee, who walted upon hitn: to-day, that no prep- arations wore needed at the Capitol for prevent- ing disturbance. Thore wns no indication as to what course would be pursucd. ANoryen, Moses Harriman, of Kounebunk (Fusionist), announces that ho will not participate in tho action of tho House till the legal members are seated, A caucus of tho Fusion membors of tho Sonate was held this evening, Jolin 1. Lawson, of Waldo, a member of tho Inst House, from Freo- dom, was nominated for President of the Sonate, and John O. Talbot, of Enst Machius, wus nomi- nated for Speakor of the Hause, A NEARING wns had bofore the Governor and Council this afternoon on the petition for the adunission of twelve Republican Hepresentatives from tive cities, A.A, Straut appeared forthe Portland Nopresentutives, and claimed that they’ should haye had tho original cortiflcates, but all doubt. hud now been removed by the opinion of the Court. In behalf of all Representatives, ho would waive tho usual twenty days’ notice. Ho asked for the cortificates that they might par- ucipate in the organization of the Legislature. The Governor intormed the gontlomen that itwaa amatter for the consiterntion of tho Counell, ‘Tho matter was referred toa committee of the Councll, who subsequently informed Straub thoy would report to-morrow morning. A GREAT PUBLIO SCANDAL. In thotr apponl to the Governor, tho Commit- teo naking for removal of uring from the State-Houso says: “Never before in our bis- tory huaan armed man been secon within the walls of thut building devoted by our fathors to order, Inw, and peace. It is a greut public scandal that at tho very portals of n bullkding fhug consecrate d armed sentinels should be pac= iug, and at yias-ivords, inspections, and aiginls aro requisito to adiniasion within its walls. Free lnwa cannot be enieted unier the presonce of arined forces, and It isaerucl mock- ery to ask the Legisinture of Muine to assemble with such surroundings.” GOV. CHAMNENLAIN has called upon the Superintendent of Stato Buildings ta report to him forthwith tho num- Derof men employed na guard in the Sinte- House, by whose order they wero enilsted, for whut purpose, andoutof what fund they are to ‘bo paid, Thoy are already dischurged, ‘und to- morrow the State-House will be guarded only byjoivilian police, A nuston, Toston, Mass., Jan.

Garfield nt tho caucus | the tattor’s offorts that the cltizens of) to-night on the first billot. Tho strength of Matthows, Taft, and Dennison being found alto- wothor too insignificant to give any dignity to the contest, at about noon Gov.

Jority of the Genernl Axsembly having decided that ft would not reflect credit upon themselves: or friends to further prolong the struggle, which was useless, At 8o'clock to-night the doors of the hall of the House of Representatives were thrown open, and, after the Republican mem- bers were sented, THE PUDIIO WERE ALLOWED to Mil the galleries and corridors, Gov. Dennt- son's letter of withdrawal was rend. This was followed by the reading of a telegram from Judgo Matthews, withdrawing from the fleld,. Ex-Attorncy-General Taft's name was algo withdrawn, and Gen. Garfleld nominated by ncclamation amidst the wildest. enthusinam. Tho best of feeling prevails over the result, and overybody Ja appurently well pleased. A demoerntic member, In spenking of tho quick work and god feulay, said that the Ho- publican party hus won a bigger victory by the xettiomentof tha Senatorial question to-night than It did in October last, when Foster carried the State by 15,000 majority. While ench candi- date has worked hard to win, all conlucted thelr canvass with a dignity equal to the position they sought. YRELING IN CINCINNATI. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Trivune. CINCINNATI, O,, dun, 6.—The news of the clec- tion of Gurfleld by t unanimous vote af tho cuucus fs recelyed with satisfaction by Itepublle- fins here. There is no question that he was the chalco of the mosses of the party. More Republicuns of the runk and file In Cin- einnati =oand | Southern were for him than for ‘Taft, Matthews, and Dennison combined.

Bpectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Covixatos, Ind., Jan. 6.—A epeck of war hns been manifested on the local horizon within tha past fow dnys, arising out of tho strike of 600 conl-ininers nt Conl Creck, seven miles from here, This county (Fountain) is rich in conl, and mining forins one of the chief industrica. But the work of getting out conl is not all Rmooth sulling, and at different times within tho pust few yenrs the authorities have had a groat deal of trouble with tho iminers. These are of all nationalltics—English, Irish, French, Ger- man, Welsh, Hollanders, and negrocs. Tho Inte ter were brought here on tho occasion of a fors mer strike, and about two years ngo the ‘newspapers chronicled tho particulars of a bloody affray at Conl Creek, in which four entored miners were murdered in cold bloat by Union miners, who bad organized asainilitary company, aud wore supplied with arma by tho State, The present troubles ure of very recent orl- gin. After the last outbreak tho Miners’ Union was procticully broken up, and the ‘coal oper= ator have run thelr imines ng other business men do their affairs, and without baying to sub- imlt to dictation from any source. A fow weeks geo An Attempt was made to resuscitate tho Union, and a ninas-meeting of tho miners wis appointed for Jan. J, nt whieh the platform of the Union wae to be promulgated.

Four of tho negroes, however, gave fn thelr ndhesion, and others left, fearing coming trouble, The operators learned of the proposition and 1 to checkmate It be Fountain Conl Company, Mr. Phelps, and Messra, urdee cach operite a mine, employs m thon about 600 hands, and on Ist, they all posted — notices on the plt-heads that the mincra must cither give up the Union or the work, They clulin that they did this tn defense of the men who did not belong to the Union. und becuse they knew that Just a4 noon ns that wna formed a pressura wunld be brought to bear upon them which would force them to submit to the demands of the Union, however unreasonable, or else close: their nines. There was no troublo about wiyres. Last May the usual contract. was iade, fixing rices for tho yenrat Scenta per ton. About hree months age the operators voluntarily ad- vanced the rate 10 cents per ton, and work bas Deen plentiful, The consequence of this netion Is that the mines are pmetically closed. There has beon a grent deal of we cuthor here, sid some of tho ines cannot be worked ywing tothe quantity of water In them, In tho others some twenty or thirty men have continued to work, although notified to. quit by the Untonlata, nnd in somo cnsos intimidated. ” Yesterday tho Union agreed ta let the men work two days in order to “clean 0 Lint conl is atill being gotten out. | Bone fifty mon lave expressed their determination to work, Union or no Union, and the colored men will work If. protested.
