Eugeno Hale Fights Against the Fraud at Every Possi- blo Point, And Is Threatened with Expulsion by the Opposition. Tho Republicans Olaim that the Il- Bought Victory Is Merely Ephemeral, And that Many of the Conspirators Are Already Quaking in Their Boots. The Cases of the Counted-Out Members Referred in Both Houses, A General Beliof that the Bribery Affidavits Were Made to Order For the Purpose of Strengthening Some of the Weak-Kneed Fusionists, YESTERDAY, THE FRAUD PERSISTED IN, Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Avavusra, Me., dan. 1~Tho result of to- day’s petion can be quiekly summed up. Both branches of the Legislature have been organ ted by the Fustonists, aud both Houses re-" fused to tale iminediate action to correct the great wrongs to popular richts done by the Governor atl Council. ‘The indications which were strong ‘Inst evening, that the Repub- Menus would be able to organize the Iorse, proved ‘itlusory. ‘The three men—Sproul, Voter, and snow—who haut day before yes- terday announced thetr determination to have nothing tg do with the counthig-out ean splracy were faithful in fplte of the extraor dlnary efforts to shake tuem; buball the ex- pectutions that the otters would join them were AT LEAST DI ‘The stories of attemyaut bribery that were put Ineireulation lasi@itght are startling enough to shock people who are not fa- iniliar with the aets of desperate politicians to produce effects on the publicmind. The aMidavits are all very guarded on the point of naming anybody with whom the negotiation was vondueted. Nobody §s personally ac- ensed, and therefore NO DENIAL 38 Posstnne. They have wl the earmarks of tho political roorback, ‘The Fuslonists, however, assert that they are bonn filde, and profess astonish- ment that honest Republicans do not ery aut neainst such corruption, ‘Tho solicitudes of those who support the eounting-out fraud for publle virtue ts only exceeded by thelr anxle- 1 for the sunctlty of the Constitution and the laws, Talbot, tho Speaker chosen, is an old man, whose portralt would pass for a carlenture of Judge E.R. Moar, He ts a lawyer, and some- thing of a pariiamentarian, and Mr. Hale was able to obtain from hin rulings on his polnts, although they wore commonly overruled on every vote. He made the point that no quorum lad voted, MIL MALY’S PERCHES to-xlay were very forcible, and, although they sceningly produced Httle effect on the As- sembly, there Is evidence to-ntght that they are serlously concerned about some of his polnts, especially the one warning them that tho Court had declared the Inw of quorum would doubtless enforce it by on- joining the execution of any acts Ilegally done, Some Fuslonists blame the Governor and Council for not counting out Hale, Both Republieans and Fusiontsts have held enucuses since the adjournment, ‘Lhe Roe- publicans will qualify to-morrow If permitted to, but will still pursue the policy of defeat- ing a quorum whenever a vote fs taken until they have assurances that Justice will be done, Arrangements are in’ progress look- ing,to the procurement of an Injunction aguinst the paymentof any money to execute Legislative orders Mlegally passed, Thoro is no disposition to yield the contest on account of anything dono to-day. ‘There aro various rumors aflont concerning the purposes of the Fuslonists, of which the most Important is that they will to-morrow consent to ADSUT MEMBERS FROM THE DISPRANCIISED CITIES, PPOINTED, Four of tho Fusion party voted with Malo on this matter to-day, and Ut ts said that more of them threaten to revolt from the Pillbury program. Some of thom say they would have done go to-day If these resolutions had not gone out, but little confidence Is to be placed on these excuses for inexcusable pro- ceedings. Atimldnight It is admitted by Republicans that the Fusiontsts had in the lil today thelr full strength of seventy-five mon, ‘The proceedings today wero at thnes very boisterous and ridiculous, When tho Gover nor and Council caine into the hall to admin- ister tho oath to the members, they were liissed and applauded, When the Governor concluded his little speceh with the oxpres- sion of regard for the Constitutition and law, itwas greated with derisive kiughter ant IMsses, ‘Thon one of the Fustontats called for three cheers for hii, which wero glyen intngled with hisses. ‘Tho speakers on the floor and the Speaker were fitased and ap- pluuded freely, and occasfonally remarks were Interrupted by those not mem- hers .of the house. Speaker Talbot uppearod to rithor court demonstrations of approbation ard was utterly wanting In dige nity, Threats were made two or three tines of clearing the guileries and the-tloor, but ied was done and the order resembled that of A WARD caucus, Much of the ting Iepublicans and Fuslonists were equally guilty In this purticular, Mfr, Hale himself at one tine, when surrounded by athrong of persons standing, mounted o desk to gut the attention of the Speaker, ‘These -jucldents appeared to be not so much out of the ordinary course as to altract much attention, _ Thovclty to-night ts not ae full as Joat night, | 1880—TWELVE PAGES. and most of the people will get a bed.

Avausta, Me., Jan. 7—The largest crowd that ever made its way to the State-House be- enn te move thitherward as early as 8 o'clock this mnerning. ‘he poltce at the Capitol were without badges, and liad no appearance of bearing arms. ‘There was a perfect jam in the corridors and halls and stalrways, and it was with great diMeulty that those allowed to enter tho legislative halls pushed their way thither. ‘There were very many vacant seats In the House, as the Repubtie- ans carried: out thelr program, and kept away, 9 few only moving about In the rear of the. hall. ‘There was no disturbance what- ever, Avausta, Jan. 7.—The principal interest at the State-Hoise to-«lay centered in the popular branch, the proceedings In the Sen- ate hardly reaching a ripple of excitement. The Fusion Senators iuade a marked con- cession in voting, 18 to 12, to refer the matter of the counted-out toa special committee to act at once. The Committee will probably be named to-morrow, ‘There were scenes in the House never be- fore witnessed in New England. ‘The sut- preme inonient came when the Assistant Clerk refused to put the dnatlany A adjourn, and Mr. Hale, standing pon an desk, put the inotlost himself, followed by deafening ap- pause ond the binmediate withdrawal of the kepublican members, ‘fhe whole audience rose, and there fol- lowed a tremendous storm of applause, ‘The audience seemed to be largely on the side of the Republicans. The result of the dlay was really a triumph for the Fuslontsts, but the Hepubilleans si say It will be eplee How, amid so mueht excitement and tn feeling, good order could be preserved was a marvel, ‘The Republicans held a secret caucus to- nlcht to determine on future action, at which: there was u full and free interchange of opine lon. Itis thought the Republleans will all qualify to-morrow, and partlelpate in the Jegishitive netion, ‘The story Is started that the Fuslonists will to-ssnovrow deprive Eugene Hale of his seat, on what ground Hts not known, Goy, Garcelon’s term of ollics expires to- night at 12 o'clock, The President of the Senate, James 1), Lamson, will temporarily fill the place, Gurcelon fs talked of for Goy- ernor, though Sinith’s friends insist that he showld receive that oflice. ‘The Fustonists held a secret meetin; night and deterinined to stand to the pos) ton gulned, RESIANED, Anvutants -General Leavitt has resigned his position, and will leave for Washinuton to morrow, His place will be temporarily filled by Maj.

IN THE KENATE. Spectat Diepateh to The Chicago Tribune, Auausta, Me., Jan. 7.—In the Senate the business of tho day was done with quietness, and the company of spectators wags not very large, the futerest centering in the Mouse. ‘The attempt was made, or rather the appor tunity was offered, to admit the elected Sen- ators who were counted out, but it was stendily resisted, both before organization and afterward. ‘The Republicans holding ecr- tHficates, although they qualified, ald not |, yote except on the motion to appoint a spe- chal committee to consider the mutter of va- enneles, On this vote enough of the Fuston- ists acted with the Republlenns to carry the matter, ‘The other important and siguiticant act was the appearance of Eber F. Pillsbury, an art- sider, by President Lamson’s chair, after he was chosen, to conch hin in his dutfes, THE SCENE IN THE HOUSE was onc of the strangest ever witnessed Ina legistative body, ‘The seating of the Repre- sentative Chamber is like that of an old-fash- foned sehool-house. The desks, of painted plne, are lke schoollesks. All the vacant. spaces on the floor were fled with a miseellancons crowd of officials and ex ofliclals, newspaper correspondents, and the great public. Some — dlseriimina- tlon was exerelsed before “the mn sle” begun, and afterwards very little, if any. ‘Two high, small gallerles were packed with men, ‘Two ladies were preseut.

"That was done by tho Assistant Clerk, W, E, Gibbs, who, us tho sequel proves, was equal toany emergency, requiring arbitrary and lawless conduct on the part of the pre shting officer, As soon as the roll was called, before the announcement of the result was made, Dickney, the leading Fuslonist_ on the floor, made the motion to notify the Govern- or.

A messare was then sent to the Governor and Counell, stating that a quorum of the inembers of the House was present, ready to be qualified. GREAT ENCITEMENT PREVAILED during Mr. Hale's remarks, and uprearlous applause followed, vf After the notification to the Governor that f quorin was present, the Governorappeared and qualified the members.
