THE SITUATION AT AUGUSTA. The members of the Maine legislature are now assembling at Augusta, and the position of affairs ts freely discussed on'the republican side, Dut the democrats are extremely reticent. A remarkably number of these have not read the opinion of the supreme court and refuse to ive their viewsof the result on the incoming egislature, Wm. M. Rust, of Belfast, a promi- nent greenbacker, says the decision of the-court settles the case; there can be no successful op- position to that, The democrats are generally Of the opinion that the dgcision of the court ts a artisan one, and they denounce it. Judy: Rice has stated in conversation that the opinion is good law, but what effect. 1t will have on the organization he will not say. Mr. Pillsbury is out in the Sfandard denouncing the opinion as partisan, and urging the counted-in members {ostand for their rights and not ba batidozed in giving up their seats. Among the prominent men at Augusta are Governor-elect_ Davis, Col. Atwell of Orono, Hon. Charles Buffum, Wilder P. Walker, Edwin Noyes of Waterville, General n. Hannibal Hamlin, Hon. Ew y,and Hon. NW. P. 3 members of the legislature have reached th It is confidently asserted by republicans thal they will have pos s lon of both branches of the legislature by rsday night.

The legislative caucuses will be heid this eventng. ‘The republicans will poe ably nominate James Locke, of Sanben jand, for president of the nate, and George E. Weeks, of Augusta, for speaker of the house. The fusionists’ promi- nent. candidate for president, ts J. K. Talbot, of Washington, and for speaker, Thos. M. Plais- ted, of Lincoln. THE REPUBLICAN MEMBERS-ELECT held a meeting for consultation last. evening, which was largely attended, and the feeling was confidently expressed that the verdict of the court had made them masters of the situa- tion, and that a sufficient number of their cer- tificates, but not elected, will refuse to act to prevent a quorum assembling until the rightful members are admitted to their seats. The tol- lowing committee was appointed on a further line of action: Messrs. ot een and Coombes, of Hancock, of the senate; and Messrs. Hale,” of-Elisworth, Yound, of Bruns- wick, and Weeks, of Augusta, of ‘the house. The’ following resolution was unanimously passed; ‘*Xrsolved, That the committee on order of business just appointed are hereby instructed to call upon Gov. Garceion at the earliest. practical moment, to insist that the armed men and munitions ‘of war now in the state house shall be promptly removed, in order that a free legislature of a free people may meet, as they alays lave met in the state of Maine, under protection of law, and not under the intimidation of force.” GOV. GARCELON “STICKS.” sion of the court will not change his attitude toward the incoming legislature. ‘The points in the opinion. might serve as a guide in future, but his work had been performed under the constitution and statutes as he understood them, and he should neither withdraw the certificates nor issue new ones. Here and there may be found a dissent- ing voice to this position of the governor, but, in the main, it has the approval of the mass of the fustonists. ‘To Be Court-Martialled. CHARGES OF REPEATED MISCONDUCT MADE AGAINST LIEUT. ABRAM G. VERPLANCK. First Lieutenant and Brevet Major Abi G, Verplanck, of the 3d United States artillery, has been stationed at Fort Wadsworth, on Staten Island, for the past two years. On several oc- casions the commandant, Gen. Gibson, alleges Lieut. Verplanck has been derelict in his duty. Charges were made against him some time ago, and, at the instance of General G!bson, a court- martial was ordered. Lieutenant Verplanck was found guilty onthe general charge, but was recommended to mercy. On this recom- mendation, and in consideration of gallant conduct in the war, he was restored to his ran! Since then Lieut. Verplanck has repeate: been guilty, Gen. Gibson alleges, of misconduct. Not long ago, while on duty nena mounting, he was relieved from duty commandant, ane officially notified to consider himself under st. This method of dealing with accused officers obtains at all army posts. An officer receiving such notification virtually pledges himself not to pass beyond the lines of the fortification or cantonment. It he does, he vio- lates his word and renders himself liable to be tried by a court-martial under the general charge of conduct unbecoming an officer and a ntleman, as laid down in the code. Lieut. Verplanck ‘broke his parole, quitted the fortil- cation, and, only after his friends had made strenuous exertions, did he return. Then he was arrested and ordered not to quit his quar- ters. ‘Again heescaped, remaining away about pee lays. On his return the last time he was lod ed up by the advice of Gon. Hancock, com- manding the division. There he will remain until a court-martial, called to consider his case, reports.—{N. ¥.

J., would when Congress reas- mbied introduce’a resolution for the appoint- ment of a committee to investigate the actions of his colleague, Charles H. Voorhis, from the fifth (New Jersey) district, in connection with his management of the First National Bank, of Hackensack, the funds of which institution he is now under indictment for embezzling, was last night denied by Mr. Brigham at his rest- dence on Jersey City Heights. Mr. Brigham said ee he did not desire to become mixed up in Mr. Voorhis’ troubles and had invited no con- fidence from that gentleman, although being colleagues from New Jersey they were much to gether. Mr. Voorhis, he said,had grown very old in aes and considerably careworn since his troubles began. Mr. Brigham sald that he had advised him to visit Jersey City or Hack- ensack and see his assignee, ex-Congressman Hardenbergh, and Mr. Voorhis had told him at; that time that When Congress would adjourn for the holidays he would visit New Jersey for the purpose of spending the holidays with his family. He had even requested Mr. Brigham to state as much to ex-Congressman Hardenbergh, the assignee, and why Mr. Voorhis had not put. inan ap) pearance at his home Mr. Brigham said he could not understand. The residents ot Ber- gen county expected that Congressman Voorhis would keep his promise to visit Hackensack be- fore Christmas, qt for nothing more than to ex- plain some legal transactions which he, as pres- ident of the Hackensack Bank could alone set right.—{™. ¥.

He referred to Gen. Grant's visit to the south shortéy after the war, and his report after that visit and the belief expressed therein that the people had accept:d the results of the war and were at heart loyal. He believed that he would have no e to change his opinion now, and that his visit would result in further unit ing the people of all Sections. and that the entire south held him in good esteem as their friend.
