Worl ot January ist ap- peared a letter written by Don Emilio Benard, Secretary of the treasury of Nicaragua, and for- Warded With an accompanying letter to Admiral Ammen by Don J oe Fre president of Nicaragua, the writer a few days before. The letter recerra Ainge the canal question at length, and expressed a_cor- dial desire that our countrymen would enter into the construction of a canal at once. On the 20th of December a reply was sent by the at miral expressing his is at the tained in the death of so eminent a statesman and a friend so highly esteemed. He stated that the letters had been read by Gen. Grant with great interest; the expressions contained therein fina his full concurrence, and the construction of the canal at the earliest possible date had his warmest sympathies and would receive his firm support. He would at the earliest practicable date examine into the articles | of Here) concession that as far as_possibl to President Zavala it should presenta bern and secure reward through dividends to ‘stockholders; through reasonable tolls ae Horate the coramerce of the world, and assure to Nicaragua ‘y possible guarantee to her eos integrity, and oe reasonable reward t some pel of net revenue Sr upon for the vaue ne Of the lands das donation to the work, Without an upon these terms Gen.

The decision of the supreme court of Maine controverting every point submitted to it by Gov. Garcelon, has excited the liveltest interest in political circles here. The question now up. permost is “what does Gov. Garcelon propore to do?” The weight of sentiment seems to be that he cannot Wee the unanimous verdict of the highest. judicial power in Maine. Many repub- licans think that Gov. Garcelon, in accordance with the spirit of the supreme ‘court decision, will recall the certificates he has issued to cer- tain members of the fusion party not elected, and will correct his error by granting certifi: cates to such repuulicans as were undoubtedly elected, but who were counted out under the technicalities of law. ‘The democrats, however, do not as a general thing adopt this view. A ma- jority of them say that in the first place the governor should never have submit the question to the court; but the fact of his having done 80 does not alter his position, because it is optional with him whether or not the court's decision is observed. Some democrats, too, put a good deal of stress on the fact that every member ofthe supreme court of Maine 1s a re- publican, and that, as- with the electoral com- mission, party feeling ran higher than legal judgment. Then, too, there are democrats who that the opinion of the Maine supreme court ust the reverse of the opinion of the electoral Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina contest of Presidential electors; that while the electoral commission held that Congress in its ministe- rial capacity had no right to go behind the re- turns; that the Maine court holds that the gov- ernor of Maine and his council have the right to go behind the returns and ascertain the true of the people. n. Butler is of the opingon that G lon’s action is strictly within the said the general, ‘‘he could not have exercise his constitutional duty and done otherwise than he had done. A ministerial officer has no Pouce to interpret the spirit of the law. If otti- cers exercised such a right we would become a nation of men and not of law. The governor's duly was to count the vote as he found it. ‘To follow the law as it 1s written, without regard to what may be the spirit of the law.

Butler said: “The people of Malne are a very quiet and law-abiding people. ‘They are slow to get into a quarrel, but when they once get In they get In to stay.

The repuplici say that if he contemplated in advance to dis- regard the legal advice of the court, it, was the sheerest folly to ask its advice. The democrats admit the force of this logie, and can only say that he never should have asked the advice of the court. THE Ono SENATOKSHIP. — The republiean caucus of the members of the Ohio legislature to nominate a didate to sueceed Allen G, n in the United States Senate will be Columbus to-morrow night. There are ur candidates mentioned—Gen. Garfield, ex- Senator Matthews, ex-Attorney General Tati and ex-Goy.

DECISION OF THE STATE SUPREME COURT ON THE QUESTIONS SUBMITTED. ‘The supreme court of Maine has rendered unanimous decisions on the questions submit- ted to them by Gov. Garcelon. They hold as follows:—When the governor and council decide there is no return for representatives they have no authority to order a new election, but it rests with the suunieipal officers in case of a vacancy to order a new election. The governor and coun- cil cannot allow substitution of other evidence in place of “the returned copies of such lists” as are provided for in the constitution to enable thon to determine what persons ‘al ear to be elected” resentatives to the egislature by a plurality of all the votes returned. An informal or incorrect return should, in the opinion of the court, be cor- rected by the record; the court regarding the authority given by the law of 1877 toe dothis as not only els but mandatory. A re- turn signed by less than a majority of the se- lectmen ofa town or the aldermen of a city is valid, provided it has the signatures of a ma- jority of three selectmen, (the law allowing the election cf seven, but the ‘practice often ee Ot to elect more than three,) and a majority 0! @ quorum of the aldermen. “A return by alder- men of a city which on does not give the number | of votes cast, for person voted for asa member of the legisiature, and does not "show what persons were voted for as such members in any one of the several wards of such city isa valid return within the requirements of the laws. It is immaterial whether the aldermen returned to the governor and council the de- tailed vote of each ward separately or whether they returned the result of all votes of all the wards for each candidate. Either mode is a sat- isfactory way of reaching the same result. - Snb- stance only is sought for in such matters, nor is it a material matter that, instead of returning all the names of the persons voted for there is a return of votes as scattering, provided that, however, such votes may be added or sub- stracted when some candidate or set of candi- dates. spree to be chosen by a plurality of the votes thrown. The governor and council can- not oficially know, nor have they the right to ascertain, that the’votes revurned as scattering Were not actual ballots with the word “‘scatter- ing” written thereon, nof fs the election of the candidates to be chosen by a plurality of votes tobe defeated because the whole number of votes or ballots may be stated erroneously or not stated at ail. Returns trom towns and cities which are not attested by town, planta- lion or city clerk are not valid. The governor and council are not authorized to receive evi- dence showing that the returns were not made, igned and sealed up inopen town meeting: he absence of all the selecimen of a town election but two should not invalidate ump. Incase of death or removal of all electmen two would be sufficient and com- petent to act. The governor and council cannot officially know that there are only two. A per- son nota citizen may be elected or constituted a selectman, so that his official acts bind the town and are valid so far as affects the public. To the question whether ‘marked’ allots, should be rejected after they have been counted and incorporated In the returns, the court re- lies that the statute prohibits rejection of the ballot ‘after it Is received into the ballot-box.” It is then to be counted. The governor and council nothing to do with the question; thelr duty is to count the votes regardless of the fact improperly set forth in the returns. Where it appears by the letters or figures in the first line of the return and by ditto marks or by dots in the foilowing lines that the same class of candidates received the same vote, there can be no ground for rejection of the return. The gove ernor and council have no right to reject the re- turns for alle fraud without giving the par- ties interested therein a fair opportunity to be heard. The genuineness of a return is to be presumed and this presumption remains until overcome by evidence produced. The governor and council have no power to reject returns un- jess an objection in writing ts presented to them setting forth that the signatures of such officers or some of — are not genuine, or that the re- turn had been altered after it was signed. Where there are'two sets of returns apparently genuine the return first received at the office ot the Secretary of State must be the basis of the action of the governor and council. If defective or not a true copy of the record it can be cor- rected or ee ree) aun only in accord- eae ray visions of the statute relating ther This ov ernment rests upon the great Consueallonal axiom that all power is inherent in the people.
