It was found necessary to organize a foree of fifty: Deputy-Colluctors, and trm thom with the best of brecch-loading weapons of long range and deop penetration supplted from the War Department nt Wash- ington; and, even with this formidable equipment tha officers found thelr task no easy one, as the Ilictt distillers, supplied with tho best nrins to be had In that loenlity, banded together to resist and drive out the Fedoral dnvaders, The reports from that ‘quarter tell of many battles between the Inw- officers and tha Iaw-breakers, in which the latter'were in the ond worsted, but, with the synipathy of the people strongly in their favor, the’ moonsliners will doubtless find means to, ovade, and resist tho lnw, and the coliection of the Internal revenue will con- tinue to be an affair of skirmishes and ro- treats, —— ‘THe man named Snilth, who still keeps up the shallow pretense of signing himself Gov- ernor of Malne, is otthin & proclamation In which he directs attention toafactot which the people of Matne ara alrendy awaro, and which they undoubtedly for the greater part cordally approve—that is, the occupation of the State-House bya force sufficient to de- fend it against any attempt to’ obtaln posses- sion by violence of the property of the State. 1n this appenl_ to the pooplo to resent such a display of military power, the man Smith makes an assertion which there {s tunple ground for characterizing aga delit- erate falschood when he declares that there {s not now and never has been on the part of the Fustonist conspirators any preparation or design to resort to force. This statement ts made in the face of abundant evidence that the Fustonists had already begun the organi- zation of military companies, and that mem- bers of Smith’s alleged staff had had a hand‘ in the enrollment and organization of a force designed «unquestionably for a movement on the State-Iouse, There can have been no other incentive than that of an ultimate re- sort to force sufficient to hold the Fusion ranks together, since the decision of the Supreme Court and the organization of the lawful Legisluture In accordance there- with rendered It impossible that the conspira- torsshould ever obtain possession of the State Government by, peuceful means, Smith's pretense that no force was contem- plated is as false as is hisclaim to the right to write “Governor” at the end of his name. ‘Tho lawful and only Governor of Malne had rellable information of a plot to organize a mob of men bearing aris and capture the State-House, and took timely measures to prevent {ts consummation; that is all there Js to tho Maine situation. —_—_——— es. THE MOTIVE FOR THE FRAUD IN MAINE, The situation of atfairs In the State of Sfnine Is peculiar, and at the same time hu- millating to the National sentiment in favor of honest clectlons and obedience to law. The election for Governor and Legislature Inst November in Maine resulted in a largo plurullty of votes for the Republican candl- date for Governor, THis vote lacked but 300 ofn majority of all the votes given for the other candidates. Lacking a majority of the whole vote, the choice of Governor devolved, under tho Constitution of the State, upon tho Legislature, the Houso selecting two ames and sending them to the Senate, and tat body selecting one of thom for the oftive of Governor. In 1878 a Hko failure to elect a Governor had resulted in the cholca by the Legistatura of Garcelon, a Democrat, ‘the Democrats -and Greenbackors wilting for that purpose. In 1870’Garcclon, Demoerit, and Smith, Greenbacker, were again eandi- dates, and it was the purpose of the Fusionists toeleet Smith Governor, If the combination could get control of the Legislature. But the olection did notso result, ‘Tho Inw of Matne providing that the returns of the clee- tion of members of the Legislature should be made to the Governor niso provides that, If auy errors of form or of omission, appear on the returns, notice should be given that such errors or defects should be corrected, Goy, Garcelon, however, disregarded this Jaw and this notice. Acting secretly, he re- Jected returns because of the most trivial onissions, thus qounting out men who had unquestionably been elected, and counting In others who had not been elected, and whotly disfranchistiy several cities hy leaving them without representation, and In thls way made up alist by which a Republican majority of twenty-elght was reversed, and a Fusion miforlty in both Jlouses was returned as elected, In all these election returns Yhero ‘was no intimation of fraud, nor was there any.doubt entertained as to who was really elected. “The Governor ueted arbitrarlly, de- termined to sclzo possession of tho Leglsta- ture, and, through that body, of tho office of Governor, Into which Smith was to bo in- ducted, ‘Tho Constitution of Maine containg this provision: “Thoy (tho Justices of the Supremo Judiehl Court) shalt beobligod to give thelr opinion upon important questions of law, and upon solomn oc- custons, when required by the Governor, Coun- oll, Sennte, or House of Hteproaentatives.” The Governor, Gareelon, sent to the Su- preme Court the record of his proceed|ngs, and asked tho opinion of the Court upon ya- rious points arising therein, The Suprome Court (tive Republicans and three Fusfontsts) unanhnously certied to him that his acts had been all Megal, and that the mon ho had ex- cluded had alt been legally elected, Cuaree- Jon, however, retired from office next day. When tho Logtsiature met the Fustonists at- tempted to seize the organtzation of the Legislature, but lacked a quorum, eyen with thelr counted-tn friends. ‘The other members immediately submitted to the Supreme Court 4 serles of questions covering the legality of the elections in all the ¢disputed cuses, and the Court tn duo time certified Its Judginent declaring those who had been Jegally elected, desplte tho Governor's amend. nent and revision of the returns, Thus fortitied by two unanimous dectstuns of the Supreme Court, the members thus declared to bo elected organized tho Legislature and cleeted Dayls Governor, 2 ‘The Fustonists have stuce then been keop- Ing up a show of orgunization—for what. purposc was not known, until ft was dis covered that they. had planned a forcible selaure of the State oflees, and had secretly arrauged a coup d’ctut. ‘Uhis was dseovered, and propor preparations were mado for its defeat. ‘Tho Fusionists thomselyes have now requested tho opinion of the Supreme Court upon aserles of questions concorning the legulity of cortain proceedings, and nomi nally are walling for an answer, Of.the tenor of that answer there cannot be any doubt, What then? 1s It proposed to keep up the pretense of a aecond Government In. Malne, agutnst the notorious fucty, and against the solemn judg: nents of tho Supreme Court? What 4s the end sought? It certainly can- not bo for the mere purpose of keeplng acertaln number of persons in office, to the exclusion of a tke number of other per sous, Personal ambition for moro honorary places at best does not furnish a suficlont jotiyo for Invoking a clvit war in Bfaine, It Ig represented that these procoudings In Muine have been Iustlgated by official and other Democratic leaders In other States, What, then, Is the purpose? Is this whole scramble over a few local offices in Maine to be used as the preliminary for other and more Important movements? Isita partof the Presldenttal campalgn for 1880? ‘I'ho Stute of Malue will probably give the Republican candidate for President $1 1880 not less than ‘ 00,000 niajority, ut, hnd the Fustontsis suc- ceuded In getting possession of a majority of the Lepisiaturennd of the Governorshtpatthis time, they would have control of the Elector- fl vote of Malne in 1980, If the Governor and Legislature of Malno were Democratic, or Fusioniat, or antl-Republican, the so-enlled Government might keop upd nominal oxist- ence, and noxt October hold a spectal sesston of the Legtsiature, onact a law requiving the Legisinture to olect Prestdentint Electors, nd, acting under this law, the Logislatura could meet in November, ‘appoint Pres- {dential Electors, und this provide for two contingencles, Thoy would in the first plnce have two returns of the Electoral vote of Malne; the Demo- cratic Congress, therefore, could use these two returns as a pretext, first, for excluding the Yolo of Maino altogether, becnuso of the contesting returns; or, sccond, In casa It bo noetted, or will answor the purpose, of count ing the seven yotes of Maine for tho Demo- eralle onndidate, as returned by the Electors appointed by this spurious Legislature.

Whenever the masses are tempted to use thelr savings for gambling purposes it is mretty certain that they will be “ squeezed,” to use tho stang of the trade, before they get ont, Itisall very well to account forn de- cline in prices by an abatement of forelgn demand, owing toanantictpation of the needs of England. This and other circumstances have: contributed to bring about such a re- sult, but it would have been brought about in any ense, and some other plausible expla- nation discovered, in order to turn over the {nvestnents of the outside speculators to the professionals, Whenever the ordliury way- faring nen risk their earfings In tho nominal pureliase of speculative securities or com- modities in the siapo of small mar- gius upon the actral price, or on the other hand sdyance ginal margins fo secure the sale of stuff they cannot do- iver, the loss of the inargins In nue enses outof ten Is the legitimate result, Profes- slonal speculators cannot ys upon one ane othor any more than professtonal gumblors can; that would be a war of oxterninntlon, It is the Httle fish that stray Into thelr waters upon whom the big fish rely for sustenance, It is folly to contend that the Keene com- bination has piled up the 14,000,000 or 15,000,- 000 bushels of wheat stored in Chicago, and the 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 bushels at Milwan- kee, and the Iarge acceninulations at other points, These secumulations are beyond the control of any “corner,” properly speaking, and are tho result, primarily, of the exac- tions of the rallroads, which have rendered tho forward movement of grain practically inpossible, except ata sacrifice of the prop- erty itself, If Mr. Keene and those nsso- cinted with htm hava pald for tholr wheat, they probably have no moro than’ they are able to carry, and are Ilitile concerned ns to the ultimate proflt on thelr Investment by the temporary tumble in price; Ao with others who bought wheat at reasonable prices, pall for it, stowed It away, and arenble to keep it. untll fair mites of transportation open up a market for St. In the meantime, however, the miscellancous crowi of gamblers, following tn the wake of actual purchasers and betting upon a contin- ued rise, lave been overcome by the natural reaction, and will lose tho money they have risked, There seems to be no help for this sort of thing, as experience Isalways Jgnored, and as the fools are nlways numerous enough to fill in any opening that presents Itself. ‘The decline in prices may he assisted by the rush of the speculators to get out of the mnarket as best they may, and It may stimu- late fora time the actual shipment of grain at the seabourd which lis been held thoro on account of the weakness In the foreign demand. But itis not Wkoly that there will be any headlong rush to tho seaboard of the grain now stored In Western warchonses, ‘fhe fall in priccisnotcalculated to retlevethe blockade, for the rates of transportation, 1f they remain the same, will be more oppres- sive at a lower price for tha commodity Itself than they were before. The men who actually own the grain In the West might as well let St rot in erlbs as give it away ta tho rallway corporations, and they will marsin! all their resources to hold it until reasonable transportation shall furnish them a market at fair prices, Before such an out- let can be secured it Is possible thatthere may be another “bulge ? on prices, wnother soranible for speculativer ipyestuonts by a wnat crowd of people, and @hother tumble, It Is ulso possthlo that imany legitimate In- yestors, producers, and holders minay be in- Jured, and some completely ruined, by these vaelllations, but the grain itself, or the bulle thoreof, wilt be held In. the West until it ean boanoved at such rates as will yleld the pro- ducer a fatr price, and at the same thine en- ‘ible tho consumer at the East and in Europe to buy freely, —————— CONGRESSMAN MORRISON. It is dificult to account for the attitude as- sumed by the Hon. Witliam I. Morrison, of this State, in regurd to the so-called Aldrich bill in amendment of tho statutes regulating linports to interior porta, According to a Washington dispatch which appeared In a elty paper on Friday last, Mr, Morrison has not been furnished with any facts “which can bo used to conyince Congress of the ne ceaslly of the passage of the pending bill’; and it {8 stated that, “tntll such Information da furnished, Mfr, Morrigon will not push the bi” Afr, Morrison Is represented as saying that “Congressmnn Aldrich ‘and Collector Smith, who would naturally be expected to tuko the lend In tho matter, haye done noth- Ing.” whence he argues that “ tho bill cannot bo of any great impurtance,’—and much inore of the sume sort, We are forcod to the conclusion that Mr, Morrison has beon mis- Topresented. We don't know what has been done or left undonu by Congressman Aldrich and Collector Sinith, We do know, however, thot during the hollday recess there was a inceting of importers at the Collector's ofilve, Mt which Mr. Aldrich was present, and that thesubject was thoroughly discussed, and Mr, Aldrich put in possesston of all the necessary facts, and urged to press the passage of the pending bil justas it fs, Morvover, Ti: ‘TuiBuNe has repeatedly shown, In great de- tall, the defects of existing statutes on the subject of {nterlor importations, and polnted out minutely thocharucter of every feature of the ponding Dill, with tts precise effect upon the business of Importing at interlor ports in the event of its passage, Some weoks ago Tue Timmune also published a letter in opposition to tho bill from JI. B. James to Mr, Aldrich, together with a reply toall the voluts made by James from Georaa W. Sheldon & Od. tt bohalt of Chicago Amporters, ‘These Jetters THe Tnmune sub- sequently reviewed cdllorinily, and the let tora and the editorial in question wero pul- lished fn pamphict-form for distribution in Washington, Doubtless Mr. Morrison ‘re- ceived a copy of this paniphiet, and hence he cannot, if he has read It, bo fgnorant of the facts and arguments relied upon by {nterlor importers In support of the measure whose parsage thoy ask as an act of fustice, Mr. Morrigon js represented as snying tint ho “is In favor of tho passage of tho bill, but, neyet haying had any practical knowledge of tho operations ‘of the Inwsa it Is Proposed to” amend, ho cannot ex. pect to be fimiliar with te abuses and evila whicl nee to bo corrected.” ‘The pamphlet, consisting of the correspondence and editorial to which wo have referred, and which now doubtless Iles ta Mr. Morrison's desk, contains nil the needed tiformation on both branches of tho subject Besides, Mr. Morrlson has hind a large experience on tho Ways and Means Committee, and he ought to know something about he Revenne laws and the methods by which they ave exceuted. Mr. Aldrich ta not a membor of the Ways and Means Committee, and the people of Chicago and of the West.who, desire tho passage of the pending bill rely'with confidence pon Mr. Morrison, who is on tho Committee, to faform himself as to the merits of the meas- ure, and, (f he -finds It a proper Dill, to sea that it is reported and pressed to Its passage, We do not believe that the dispatch to which ‘we have referred fattly represents Mr, Mor- rison in attributing to hlm utter indifference ton mensure which {8 of Importance not only to his constituents, but to the constit- wents of ‘every metnber of Congress from the West and South, A DYING EMPIRE. Tho National Gazette, of Berlin, a semi- offleln! paper, has recently published ap arti- cle In which it predicts the near death of the Ottomhn Empire, Itis of opinion that tits will not be caused by foreign aggression, but that Turkey, having exhausted without suc cess evory expedient for ratsing money, and being absolutely without tho funds necessary to mect her datly needs, eannot much Jonger prolong her existence. The Guzette regrets that, In tho partition of ‘Turkey which was sanctioned by the Berlin ‘lrenty, Germany should have received nothing. It clatins that, Inany future division of ‘Turkey, Germany should’ assert her right to compensations equal, at least In ynlue, to the fnerense of territory which may bo acquired by ‘any other nations. As most of tho artleles of the Gazette derive thelr tone from the Foreign Oliico at Berlin, 1t is more than probable that tho article in question was approved by Bis- marek prior to Its publication. If this fs car- Tect, a remarkable change In the policy of the German Government has taken place within short period. Whother tho statemant was {Inspired by Bismarel or not, it is certainly one well caletlated to increase the growing feeling of uncertainty which Js already so prevalent in Europe, At the Berlin Congress it. was assorted by Bismarck that Germany had no direct inter- est In Turkish affairs, Iu elatined that Rus- sin, Austria, and England were the countries most nearly concerned, and that they alone ought to receive benefit from the terms of the treaty. «As tho result of his viows, Russta re- eclved Bessarabia; Austria, Bosnia, Iorze- Bovina, and Novyi-Buzar; England, Cyprus and the protectorate of Asia Minor. The most valuable portion of Turkey still remains to bo contented for. England desires tho control of Constantinople, Gallipolls, and the Stralts of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, Russlu seeks not only thig, but to bring under her direct influence at least, If not to annex, tho entire Balkan Pentistla, Austrin@ooks forward to the possessiin of all that portion | west of Servin and Roumelia, with the ulti mate expectation of obtalnig Snlonten as a seaport. With this object in ylew, Austrinn Influence, prompted from Berlin and backed by Bismarck, has no doubt been the secret cause for thu delay tn tho settlement of the Greek boundary question, To the sune causes, 1g well ns toa desira to thwart Rus- slan Influence in Montenegro, may be attrib- uted tho diMeultics which have attended the transfer of Gustnjo and Plava to Montenegro, In any future division of Turkish spolls {tis not probable that France and Italy will be content to play the part of passive neue trals which thoy accepted at Berlin, Dls- utarek'’s opinion, as oxpreased at that tine regarding thom, was that, belng In. no man- ner affected by the ehanges which the treaty contemplated, they had no right to constttcr themselves entitled to Indeninity. Io pluced Germany, France, and Italy {the samo ente- gory. This position was.aceopted by France in accordance with her program of non- Intervontion in affairs beyond her own bor- dors, Efforts were made to change Hs marck’s opinion by Italy, which lus long desired tha portion of Turkish territory lying ulong the east coast of the -Adrlutic; but theso attempts were unsuceessful. Bismarck adhered to the pulley he proposed, and Italy: for the Lime was forced to accept the role he assigned her, It 9 sald that Itallan agents ave now intriguing to prevent tho surrender of Gusinjo and Playa to Montenegro, Pre- Vious Information leads to tho belief that, sinco tho closa of tho Russo- Turkish war, the agents of Italy have constantly oxertet themselves ta fos ter und fucrease every disorder and commotion occurring Inany of the western ‘Turkish provinees,; Many of these disturb- ances Were more or less directly caused by thotr efforts, with the hope that the apparent Impossibility of quieting the country might render Interventlon necessary, and thus enue Dio Italy to nasert her claims to that portion ot ‘Turkey coveted by her, Unquestionably Yranco will strive to strengthen hor position in tha Enstern Med- Kterrancan, ‘The ocenpation of Cyprus by Great Britain, and the British cluims upon Asia Minor, aro a blow to the Influence of France in that section. This position of the English cannot fall to Injure the interests of Marselltes, now the most important Meditor- ranean seaport, and which owes tts impor: (ance as a commerelal contre largely to tho trate of the Levant. Tho existence of any Freneli Mintstry would be shortlived Indeod which neglected, if suitable occasion ov curred, to Ineryaso and’ make pennancent French Influence and French trade on the Mediterranean coast from Greece to Algeria, Yor this reason France would certainly de mand one or inore of the most important Islands of the Grecian Archipelago, with the vort of Jaffa on tho Syrian coast, Her policy Qs to tho remainder of Turkey would de pond largoly upon the influence by which her Ministry was direetod, If governed by the oplnions of M. Grévy, Preslient of the Republie, her present policy of non-lnter Yention would. probably be continued, But the Prosident under the’ Ireneh Conatitue tlon has ne right to dletaty a policy, Me ean orighiite nothing, and can only earry ont ucustires dictated by the Chumbors, So tiich Is this the case that It is now generally thonght he has no right to’ send a message, , or even to submit a recommendation, to Par- Moment, ‘This understanding of his dutics has on soveral occasions been distinctly avowed by hin since his secession to “ihe 5 On tho other hand, If tha ylews of Gambétta are those by which tho Alinistry Is guided, Franca will probably endeavor to take a Teading part in whutover reaulla the collapse of ‘Turkey may bring about, Ho !s‘supposed to fayor now a polloy of ndyontute In foreign affairs, by which France miny ones more re- Baln tho. leadership of Europe, ‘The De Freyelnot Ministry fs composed enttrély of his vervonal adhorentst and, sliould the ‘Turkish catastrophe predieted by the Borlln Gazette occur during its extstence, thd probabilities are thint his vlews will conti! nnd direct both tho Ministry and Chambers of France, But what compensations for Gormany, fn tho event of Turkey's dense, does the tron Chancellor ‘propose? Ife ‘ean seareely look forward {o annexation of Turkish territory. Austria ind the Danubian Prinetpalities bo. ing directly Interposed bétwoon Germany and Turkey, such annoxation would clearly bo an fmpractleable arrangement; nelther eoukl any ofthe Turkish i@andsin the Agonn or Mediterranean Seas be, under the circum: stances, regarded as a valuable nequisttion to Germany. German Interests in the Le vantaro comparatively small, and auch cs- tablishments ‘are costly and troublesome. .It Is probabla that the componsations for Germany referred to by the Guzette have reference to the German provinces of Austro- Ifungary, Wo may reasonably expect that the terms of the German and Austrian agrees ment contain the secret of Bismarok’s wishes in tho matter. Whenover the terms fre known, {6 will doubtless be found that his usual sngnelty ant foresight have so ar- ranged tho affalr ns to make tho fulfillment of his wishes inevitable, THE MISSISSIPPI JOB, Tho Mississippt River Improvement Com- nilssiun seems to lave justified all the sts- picion that was felt ns to Its {utentions at the time the Prestlent’s appolntments wera made public, It ts nowannounced thatsome ‘$50,000 of the original nppropriation ($175,000) have been expendud, and that the expenses go on at tho rate of $18,Q00a month, “Tri angulating, making soundings and borings, and getting velocities of tho citrrent,” furnish the excuses for this enormous outlay, But the present expenses are insignifiernt by comparison with what is to.come. It fs re- ported that the Commission have adjourned. to nicet next month in Washington (expenses going on meanwhile), and that they will then Tecommend a prefiintnary appropriation of $4,000,000, with which to prepara the way for the expenditure of countless millions pon Jevees, and jetties, and other follies, Inall this there lgnot one word nor a single thought about the outlet plan, whieh ling not been ad- mitted toconsideration. ‘The following pava- graph from a recent number of the Memphis Avalanche reveals the “tro inwardness ” of the Commission's work: “Open the Laké Horgne outlet, and stop the ‘triangulation ' nongense, Open all the outleta and give tho supornbundance of water a chance to runout. Tho water will thus run out at the lower ond of tho river fnater than ft.can rise at the upper end. Overilows will be effectually Prevented. The channel will be deeponed from Now Orleans to Keokuk.
