About 10 o'clock a sailor, named Wright, | | who is Sadler's brother-in-law, insulted John- son, whom he took for another young man,when a general fracas took place, which Was stopped by some women who interfered. About two ‘hours afterwards, when Johnson and three other young men were gy Soe the corner named, Sadler and Wright, who live across the street. came towards them.

District Government Affairs, THE DISTRICT MILITIA. ‘The attorney for the District has an opinion in relation to communications ot Gen. ‘Ihemas and Col. Webster, on the status of the District militia. Be states that he thinks the Commissioners are without power in the prem{- ses, except as advisory from their position as the executive of the District. The recent decision of cur Supreme Court is the present law of the District, and Col. Webster correctly apprehends its force. The legislation of the late District legislature on this subject, the attorney states, is without force in the premises. He states that the whole matter is the subject of Congressional legislation, and covered by chapter 37, revised ates of the District of Columbia, page 138; that the power and duty of organizing the mili- Ua of the District 1s there placed wholly in the hands of the President of the United States, and doubtless would be promptly exer and per- formed on advice in the premises; that if chap- ter 37 1s found lacking in details, 1t may be sup- ie ‘mented by the general militia laws of the inited States, under section 93 revised statutes D. C., page 10. He states that this whole matter lies beyond any field of his labors or experience. He eu; that the whole corr ndence be referred to the President, and that Gen. Thomas and Col Webster be notified of the action of the Commisstoners. THE SCHOOL-HOUSE CONTRACTS. Messrs. Somerville and Samson, representing the sub-committee of the building committee of the Pubilc School Board, held a conference with the District Commissioners this mornin: tation to the delay in commencing the new ‘hool building for the first school district, In- spector Entwisle belng present. ‘The situation Was fully discussed. It will be remembered that J.G lor was awarded the contract for balldin; ‘0 new public school-houses on the Lauritzen and Cluss plans; that the rise of ma- terial soon after the contracts were given out rendered it impossible for Mr. Naylor to go on with the work, and his bondsmen, Messrs. Lewis and Richards, were called upon to do it; that these gentlemen agreed to divide the two Joos, Mr. ebards to take the Lauritzen build ing, on Capitol Hill, and Mr. Lewis the Cluss building, on Massachusetts ‘avenue; that Mr. Richards has proceeded with bis house and is now making good and satisfactory progress; that the Cluss building has not yet been com- menced, owing to the ipovetcat inability of Mr. Lewis to take charge of the work, and there {s but little prospect of his doing so, his health growing worse instead of better. There were several projects suggested during the confer- ence to-day, but the sub-committee did not wish to assume any Ly ee and a special meet- ing of the school board will be called next week when all will be present, including the inspector of penne and the District Commissioners. This meeting will probably determine what wiil be done to save the appropriation from lapsing and to secure the much-needed school facili- ties. 8 O, —_-—__ Amusements, &c.

Carter, colored, was charged with threats to Rebecca Smith, living at 821 13th street, and the latter testified that Carter had been paying his addresses to her, and when she found out that he was a married man she told him she did not want him to wait on her, that Robert Smith then came to see her, and on Sat- urday night Carter met her and threatened that he would kill her if she went with Smith again, She produced a letter she wrote to Carter, saying to him: “I know you to be a low, dirty rascal, who tried to take the ad- | vantage of me, and am sorry I did not seald you the night I made the attempt to do so. I donot care to receive an answer to this, as I have no wish to hear from such a tramp. I know where you live, and if you send one I will take it to your wife.

WHAT GOVERNOR GARCELON SAID LAST NIGHT. Governor Garceion said last night that he knew nothing further of the Bangor affair than what had appeared in the papers; that for judi- cious reasons he had ot Mr. French ver- may to remove the arms and ammunition, and he thought the whole matter was = e a vernment yes! r noon it was: voiea’to increase the police force of the city to 200 men, so that the city marshal may have a body to call upon in case any trouble ‘should arise. THE GOVERNOR'S REPLY TO MORRILL Governor Garcelon’s reply to the letter of Hon. Lot M. Morrill sets forth that “the excitement in the public mind is, in my judgment, wholly without excuse, and is without question the re- suit of a systemized attack of vituperation and slander upon the executive department, not only without parallel, but without cause. Be that as it may, it is the duty of every good citizen to use his best endeavors to allay the public ex- eitement, however created, so far as he ts able, and to resort to such measures as will allay clvil strife, and at the same time secure the ends of justice, You intinrate that it is in my power to restore peace, tranquility and feeling to the State and all its inhabitants by asking the opinion of the supreme judges on each law point Inyolved in the variations of the count from the returns. Nothing would give me greater pleas- ure than an authoritative opinion upon the pee involved in the present condition of af- ‘airs, and also upon such as might be likely to arise. Please cate the points that occur to you which have not already been adjudicated upon, and I doubt not that we may be able to secure a satisfactory solution of the doubtful complication, or, if not satisiactory, at least such as may be deemed authoritative.” THE MATTER LIKELY TO GO INTO THE COURTS. A telegram from Portland says:—Mr. Morrill will send a communication to Gov. Garcelon to- day, proposing questions to be submitted to the Supreme Judicial Court. It is the general judg- ment of both parties that Gov. Garcelon will agree to refer the matter to the courts. A lengthy Loe signed by 253 prominent citi- zens of Gardiner of both political parties, was Mailed to the Governor last night, urging upon him the propriety and expediency and L justice of asking the opinion of the Supreme Judicial Court. The sentiment among the leadiag class of democrats in this vicinity seems to be that Mr. Morrill’s proposition be accepted, and that the difficulty be settled without trouble of any sort. There is a beiter feeling in conse- quence. A dispatch from Bangor states that influen- tlal democrats have united in an appeal to Gov. Gareelon to accept the suggestion of ex- Gov. Morrill. and allow the courts to settle the pending troubles. The same dispatch intimates that the Governor fs likely to heed the request. SEIZURE OF ARMS BY FUSIONISTS.

A special to the Boston Herald gives an ab- stract from the report of the committee on the Maine clection returns made in counctl. It quotes from the state constitution the section which provides that in case of towns and planuta- tions the municipal officers shall in open town and plantation meeting at the close of election Gay sort, count, and declare the votes cast and form a list of all the persons voted for and after the name of each person thus voted for shall write the number of votes received by him, &c. The committe understand this is required in order that the electors may be present and see that the returns are made in accordance with the facts, and are of the opinion that the re- turns not made up in open meeting are not legal returns and cannot be counted, and they | have acted in this bellef in making their tabu- | lations. Several protests, accompanied with affidavits to support them, against the counting of the returns specified therein have been con- sidered. These protests allege that said returns should not be counted because they were not made up in open town See but were made uP atter the meeting closed In some private office or store, when Do one but a portion of the municipal officers were present and in some cases Only aclerk. ‘This condition of things In several cases has been proven, and they have rejected the returns thus defective. THE MAINE MILITIA. A Portland special to the Herald to-night, says: “There 4s much speculation as to the amount of dependence which ean be put upon the militia of the state in the event of their ser- vices being needed. The force is not a large one, Itis commanded by a major-general, ex- Gov. Chamberlain, of Brunswick, now president of Bowdoin College. He has a brilliant mili- tary record and is ‘a very conservative republi- can. ‘The organized militia consist of one regi- ment and four unattached companies. Colonel Charies P, Mattocks, of the ist regiment, re- signed nearly three months ago, but his resig- nation was not accepted for some reason or other until last week. The lieutenant-colonel left in command is Gen. Daniel White, of Ban- or, a brave and popular veteran, and the major is M. M. Folsom, of Old Town. e former is a moderate greenbacker and thé latter an ardent backer, and the right-hand man of Mr. mith, the greenback candidate for governor. Of the ten companies ip the regiment two are located in Portland, and one each in the cities of Auburn, Augusia, Bang and Belfast, and the towns of Norway, Skow- hegan, Hampden and Old Town. It will probably be found if the matter is investi- ated, that a very large majority of the mem- fers ot these companies are republicans, and they are generally young men, but a few of them have seen service during the rebellion. The companies are generally organized for show urposes, and with no idea of active service. ‘ol. Mattocks, who has just retired, e should have considered it his duty to obey tue orders of his commander-in-chief, regardless of politics or personal feeling, andsodo Col White apd Maj. Folsom and a majority of the line offi- cers. For the men, however, for real service, tt is doubtful ifmuch dependence could be put in them. Besides the first regiment, there are three Infantry companies, one each in Portland, Biddeford and Gardiner, and a light battery at Lewiston. One of these, the Portland Mont- gomery Guards, Capt. John J. Lynch, is com- posed of active young Irishmen, chiefly demo- crats, and is the best drilled company in the state, and their captain ts toud in his praise of their loyal The composition of the battery at Lewiston is about the same, and the fustonists think this, too, could be puded on, but ta | Portland there is nothing like the excitement and hostility toward tbe state administration which exists further east. The old co nies: here, the Light Infantry and Mechanic Blues, which have honorable records in the past, will | doubtless obey the orders of their superic In- formation as to the feeling tn the other com- panies Is limited.” A SAN FRANCISCO PHOTOGRAPHER, hearing of a “distinguished arrival” at the house of a lady, called at once, and begged to have the fllustrious stranger sit at bis gallery exclusively. The laéy bestitating, and hinting that it might be cifieult, the eager “artist” begged at least for the stranger's name. Said the lady, astonished: “He hasn't got any name.” “Hasn't got—why 1—ahem!—your joking Miss.” “Not at all, sir. ‘The arrival in question is my sister’s baby, just one day old, and—” But the photographer had slid out, using extracts from Mr. Kearney’s geeecs that made even the car-driver shud- ler.
