Spectat Disvatch to The Chicago Tribune, Avausta, Me., Jun, &.—Nothing bas been real- ly uccomplished to-day in settlementof the anomalous and critical condition of the State Government, When Mr. Halo went out with the sixty Repubilcans who hold the Governor's cer- tilleate of election, to have them sworn In, the House wis left with but ono Republican prese ent, But Instead of proceeding to do any busle ness, tho Fusionists took a recess, and, ns soon asthey returned, not having been able ta get qualliled, tho House adjourned, Tho Journal of proceedings in the House yesterday, aa correct- ed, plaiuly shows that all the buainess, includ fox’ the clection of .officors, waor- trananeted by less than 4 quorum, and fs witl out validity. Tho action of tho President of tho Sonate in re- fusing to qualify tho Hepublicans caused much speculation concerning his motives, and tho opinion is beld by muny that it was prompted moro by tho fours of tho Fuslonists us to what might happen if so many Republienns wero nd- mitted to the House than by the ostensible ronson, Itls certaluly u remarkable course to tuke, for thore is NO LEGAL LIMITATION of the Acting Goyernor’s authority while serv- ing, Avting Governors are no strange thing under the working of tho Muine Constitution, and they nover before hesitated to do any iinme- diutely necessary business, Soon after the udjournment a written com- muntention was recelved from this oflicer, sity ing that he would give a reply to the gentlomon deslring to be qualified ut 10 o'clock to-morrow morning, and requesting their presence at tho Council Chamber at that hour, Tho Fusionists begin to see that thoy have by no means yot ac- complished thotr purpose. Tho cool, deliberate, confident way in which Ar. Hale procesdod to-day to have tho journal correoted in several particular points, making no sceret of tho fact that he reyurded ft as of tho utmost finportance, but asking nothing which it was possible to dispute, had n disconcerting effect, Thoy were also disturbed by tho sudden change in the Hepublican plang shown by thelr dotermination to take theirseats inthe House. Another thing that gives thom surprise 1s tho knowledge that the Btate Trens- urer will pay outno money while the present condition lusts; not that any injunction has: yet been served upon him, but neither he nor his friends think it ndvisablo to take any RIGKS IN DEALING WITH THE PUNLIO MONEY, whothor the Republicans nro in or not, They can nt any time provent notion by i quorum, and tho Fuslonista are at 2 loss how to eacapa from this predicament, Noth sides have been holding caucusses since the adjournment, and thore ure uny number of vague rumors alloat ubout what fs to be done to-morrow, At presont none of thom can be Vorifled. Ono of thom is thut the Counoll are to realign in a body to-morrow. ‘The probable truth is that tho Council Ia in doubt whether thor terms of office have not expired with the Gov- ernor’s, Tho Govoruor can adininister tho oath without tha preseneo of the Counoll, so that tholr presonce is not necessury to tha qualitien- on of the Republican members of the House, Another rior is that tho Fusionists propose to force un election of Stato afflcers to-morrow. ‘This is not probable. Thora are algo rumors of serious demoralization in tholr ranks whlch will onable tho Republicans, when alt take their seals, to control tho House. Not very much con- fldenco will bo pliced In such reports until they are tested by action. ‘Tho Republicung are cou- fdent of ultimate victory inthis struggle, but. whethor It will come thia week or thls month, shee go not protice: Many are of tho oplaton that thors will be to-morrow an curly udjourn- ment until next weok, { THE ALLEGED BRINERIES, Who Fusioniats profess to bo rondy with tho dune of the porsun who was tho active agent in tho alleged attemptod briboriog, but thoy say It will not bo published until tho House bus acted on tho regotution passed by the Bonite to-day, E.

Ben- tinels are stationed at the doors, the police force continuing under tho control of the Sheriff and Mayor. Immedintoly on tho opening of tho Sen- ate, Senator Hobson, of Lincoln, offered the fol- lowing: Ondered, Thats joint select committee of three on tho partof the Senaty, with such asthe House may ap- polit, be nppointed by tho Chal lo investigate the Ciurmen of Urivory and Intimidation aiiege Deon attempted on members of tho Lexisiature since they reealved thelr certincaten. with power to mend for persons and paperas und that the Coumittes inatritcted to commonce jin Investigution to-day on fhondjonrnmentof this soaaiun, und report as Boon ua may be.

Tho order was passed. el On the opening of the House, the Speaker in- voked good order, and {ntimuted that the scenes enneted yosterday by outsiders would not be re- pented. He had searcely finished speaking when the doors were opened and the windows thrown up, and the impatient erowd rushed in. After tho people entered, quict was ngnin restored, but at one time trouble seemed fin- aninent, The records of yesterday were rend, and showed tho fact that not more than seventy. two votes were tykown for any candidate yoted for. wd ta havo Te REPUNTACANS, Mr. Halo fnnounced the presence of sixty certified members, belng tho Republicans who withdrew yesterday, who were ready to be qualified. They were conducted to the Council Chiunber, but Acting-Governor Lumson dectined to qualify them at present, ns he did not exactly know the extent of his powers in that direction, but should inform himself.

SOME OF THE LEADING BPIiITS. Special Miepatch ta The Chicago Tribune, New Youk, Jan, 8.—Tho Times says thero aro anumber of persons in this city, somo of them holders of offices, and others who want to hold office, who haye tried to creato the Impression that there is not only in the metropolis, but throughout the State, a forinidable and organ- ized movement among Republicans to prevent tho nomination of ex-President Grant. Tho effort in question bes up to this time been far from successful. In tho first place, {t can be traced directly to Collector Merritt and his friend and bustucss assoctute, Gen, Curtis, Chief Special Agent of the Treusury Departinent in this district. Both of those gentlomen wero in Albany durlog the past week, and nre known to have had consultations with a number of so-called “ Liberal leaders," men who In 1872 opposed Grant in favor of Greeicy, and ever since have been DISAPPOINTED BOREMEADS. The immediate result of. the conferences in question was the organization in Albany of what {a called an antl-Grant Club, and thero 1s sus- Picion that the result will be tho attempted re- moval by the Administration, influenced by Secretary Shernian, of a number of Federal ofliccholdera at the State Capltul known to bo the creatures of John F. Smyth, and through him of Conkling, and who In consequence aro belleved to be In favor of the nomination of Grant, ond unqualliiedly opposed not only to Sherman's candidature, but every interest the Sceretary represonta. Meanwhile, the uttack haying been thus begun in Albany, un effort hig been made to Iry tho foundation for futuro work tn this city. It must bo ndinitted that Cuatom-Houso officers, in Now York at lenst, bave done ilttlo TO FURTHER THE MOVEMENT, ‘They have contented themscives with setting in efrculation vago rumors of furmidable oppo- ritlon, and loft tu the old Drlatow cilque the arrangement of dctalls, Up to this tine neither: they nor their allies have met with anything approaching — auccess. ic fuct fe, that, ag yet, all talk of — orgunized © move- mont in New York against Gon.

Two informal meetings have been held to bring about such opposition, They were both {nu point of nuntbers dismal failures.” Nenrty all present were placc-htunters, left out in the cold py the Grant Adininistration.

Rpectat Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, Wasutxaton, D. C., dan. 8—Tho annual mect- ing of tho Board of Indian Commissioners began here this morning, Resides the members of the .Bourd there were present nt the morning sesston the representatives of tho different mlsslonary bodies which are engaged in tho work of clyil- faing the Indians, and on whose nominations many of the Indian Agenta reeelve their appolnt- ments, The Protestant Epiacopil and oman Cathotic Mission Hourds were not present at tho meeting to-day. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs was present. The representatives of ono branch of the Society of Friends,. and tho Rev. Dr. Alden, Scerctary of the American Board, both enlarged on tho untoward Influence exerted on the Indinns under thelr care by the constant fenr of the loss of present homes and removal to strange reser vations. Dr. Aldon spoke strongly on tho caso of tho Santee Bloux, who, ho said, aro now fully Prepared for citizenship, and who, if thoy could be assured of: permanent possession of thelr homes and protection under tho laws, would forma valuable community, Tho representa: tlyes of tho two Duptist Boards, whose work is mainly In the Indian Territory, spoke of the un- reatamong the partially civilized tribes there, cuused by a feur that tho “Territory isto be thrown open to whito scttloment, The Rev. Mr. Morehouse, of the American Unptist Board, said that this fecling of restive- nees wus the strongest obstacle to jinprovement: among those people, and he declared that It bas now taken a form that may beeome extremely dangerous; that tho tribes of the Territory ure beginning to count upun thelr numbers and to estimate the resourves they could bring into action to realst by physical fores uny attempt to wrest thelr lands from then, A RESOLUTION WAS ADOPTED requesting the Secretary of tho Interior to asic Congress fornan appropriation to be expended for cducational purposes In Alaska. It {s under- stood that this resolution was prepared with tho approval and ufter conference with the Sec- retary. Before this resolution was adopted there was somo gencral discussion, during which it was suggested by Dr. Lowrie and others thut the Bourd ought to devote its efforts to securing sume provision fur the education of ull Indian youth. The necd of'such a provision bas lony been felt, and, at tho last two meotings, plans to that end have been discuased, Two othor meuns of civilization, which wore discursed, and upon. which a formal expression of opinion wus made nt tho Inst annual mcetlug, wero briefly adverted to this morning, and both will probably recelyo further attention beforo tho sessions closo. ‘Those are the bringing of all Indians under tho protection and tho making of them subject to thofr laws, and a sulo provision for the allotment of lands to Indians In severalty. Bomv fnteresting facts respecting tho Utes were brought out in tho remurks ot the Rev, Sheldon Jackson, who resides In Colorado, and of Mr, and Mfrs. Danforth, Mr. Dunforth was for four years the Indian Agent at the Whito River | Agency, is dime, mediate suceessor being tho Jato N.C, Meeker. Hoth Dr. Jacksun and Mr. Danforth, who kuow tho Utes: intently insist that the character of the latter Is wiekedly mlsrepre-" sented by the press and people of Coloruio gen erally. Mr. Danforth suid that during the four yeuns that bo had Ived among tho Utes he folt that be was in no danger from them as Indians. There were among thon a few rough churac- ters, Just agg hore were among the sume number of white meh. His wife bad often been left: alone on tho reservation without fear or dun- ger. Only once in four years DID 11%! BEE A DRUNKEN INDIAN, and bis wife lald her hand on tho shoulder of ‘thut one and bade him gu and lic down until ho was sober, Tho Indian obeyed, It is entirely wrong, Mr. Danforth thinks, to hold the Utes, a8 a tribe, responsible for tho ucts of n few deaper- atetnen. Dr, Jackson said that on tho day of Uhe outbreak at the Agency he, with ono com- panion, was riding over a part of tho. reservas tion. Ho was not molested, When the Thor burgh battle was fought thore wore hun- dreds of prospectors and miners on tho Ute reservation, scattered singly ar fn stall ops, and entirely at the merey of of the In- diuns. ‘None of these people were harmed, 4 though they were intruders on tho Itesery: tion. “The savages molested no ono,” suid Dr. Jackson, “except tho troops and tho persons whom they held responstble for bringlug tho troops to ihe Agency.
