While I still stood wondering I heard heavy steps approaching; and not liking to lie found where I was I darted forwarit, opened another door—which I hoped led from the room—and found myself in a large, low closet with a small window in it. I had shut the door after me before I perceived to what the egress led. ami I was about to open it and go out again when I heard a man’s footstep in the cham ber, and thought it better to remain where I was. A harsh voice said: “The gal will have all the money now, you may he sure, mother. There won't lie more than a paltry titty-pound legacy for you and father—and she with them un told, hcaped-up riches! You think of what I said, and how jolly we should be across the ‘herring-pond.’ “Don't talk ot it no more, Will,” re plied the voice of Mrs. Wheeler. “It ain’t to be thought of. The old lady has always been good and kind to me- I would not have a hair of her head in jured." “Who wants to hurt her?" was the rough rejoinder. “Only Isay it’s a shame for that gal to cut you out of your life's earnings—for that’s what it's about.” “Well, we'll see,” said tho woman—I thought with reluctance and hesitation in her tone—“we'll see Xow take what things you want, and so and don't come back till to-morrow night, nor yet before lo then. You might have been seen by Miss Corbould to-day if I hadn’t my wits about me.” lie muttered something that sounded like a curse. “Come,” she added, “take what you left and let us go. 1 must see you safe out of the house before Mrs. Keith rings for her breakfast—and it is past her usual time now.” “Where’s the gal gone?” he asked. “To church, so we are safe from her. Hut make haste.” 1 believe she did see me, and that Mrs. Keitli will lie told I'm here." was the re ply. "If you do as I advise, we have no time to lose.” "She didn’t see you. or she’d have asked who you were—she did so once when she saw tin* gardener in the kitchen; and I don’t think she'd make mischief if she did. She's not a bad sort, as you say, Will.” A drawer was opened, and after a min ute or two 1 heard them leave the room and shut the door. I trembled lest I should hear a key turn in the lock, but, happily for mo, it had long been lost. As soon as a profound silence made me feel secure I came out of my hiding-place and flew along the passage till I found tho stairs, which 1 descended in great haste, only breathing freely when I was in my own room again. Then 1 sat down to think. There could be no doubt that Mrs. Wheeler’s son had either eseajied or ob tained a ticket of leave, and was actually in the house—nav, had slept in the desert ed rooms. And what was the advice he had given his mother? Surely to rob my aunt or kill me Thus I understood his words. I resolved instantly to start for church the services would he over prob ably before 1 reached it, but 1 would see Mr. Denham, tho clergyman, and could tell him what 1 had heard, and ask him what to do. I put on my hat at once and ventured forth in my house-boots, taking care to keep out of sight of the windows as I hurried off. I reitched the church just as the congre gation were coming out, and found to my dismay, that Mr. Denham was from home, and that the clergyman who had officiated for him had just driven oft', on his return to his own parish. I was terribly vexed. I went down to the parsonage, however, and, on seeing the doctor’s old servant. I asked her if she would let me write a line there, to her master, as I had a message for him. She consented civillv, gave me paper, pen and ink. and, while I hastily, wrote my story to Dr. Denham, dried my wet boots by her fire. Before I left, I asked her if tho alarm at the park were rung, could the villagers I hear it. She replied, “Yes”—she be lieved it had been heard many years ago. Hut why did I ask I replied that 1 was afraid ot burglars, and wished to know if help could be obtained. Having tier promise to give tne note to Mr. Denham on his return—which would bo the next morning, she told me—I again set out on a hurried walk home, hut ar rived there so late that Mrs. Keith had be come alarmed, and a little cross at her de layed dinner. Wheeler was with her, looking, I thought, a little anxious. “So you went to church after all,” said my aunt, when I had apologized and ex plained that I had been detained at the rectory while my boots dried. “You had ranch better have amused yourself by ex ploring the old house or walking up and down the corridor.” “()h, but I wanted to get some boot-laces in in the village, 1 replied, “which l have done, or I should have been kept in again to-morrow! On some rainy day I can got Mrs. Wheeler to show me the house.” As I spoke, I perceived the anxious ex pression pass from Mrs. Wheeler’s face. “Wheeler is ill, you will lie sorry to hear,” said my aunt, accounting for her house-keeper's waiting on us. “Mrs. Wheeler tells me lie had a sort of fit last night. I want her to send for the doctor, but slic thinks he is better, and only needs rest.” Dinner over, I took a seat near my aunt, ami, first conjuring her not to tell any one what I was about to communicate, and not to lie alarmed, I related mv adventure of the morning. She listened with amaze ment ami apprehension. “lie can mean nothing but wickedness!” she exclaimed a- 1 tsed. “lie is ona of the ino-t unscrupulous illains 1 have ever heard of. To think of his lieing free again ami taking shelter here! We might as well—or better—have a loose tiger in the house. Jane Wheeler is an idiot to be so infatuated with that vile s«n of hers.

©ailn ificnncbrt journal. Augusta, Friday Morning, Dec. 19, '79. The People Moving. The deep feeling of the people in regard to the counting out infamy is beginning to manifest itselt in appropriate action. Au gusta will hold a public meeting this eve ning, which will be impressive in numbers, the character f the men composing it. and the stalwart voice with which it will speak on the question of the hour. Hal lowed will speak Saturday night, with practically the united voice of all her peo ple, against the criminal acts done at the State House by the Governor and Coun cil. Other cities and towns will follow next week, and soon the whole State, will utter its protest in thunderous tones against the consummation of the scheme to make elections by the people a farce, and estab lish a despotism upon the ruins of our free institutions. Doctoring Returns Their [republican] returns were always doctored anil counted, while democratic re turns were scrutinized and rejected. Sur prising as this statement is, it is nevertheless true, and is substantiated by the outh of Mr. Pishon, the clerk who w as ordered to do the work, and who, acting under instructions di rect from the Council chamber, executed their commands. Furthermore, returns have ac tually been burned in the Council room and new ones manufactured in the same place, without the faintest shadow ut legality, have been substituted and counted. This outra geous proceeding can be proved beyond doubt by the oath of more than one person, who witnessed the infamous proceeding.—Maint Standard. Now let Pishon go one stop farther and state under whose “instructions direct from the Council chamber" he acted. Let him state the names of those who ordered this done, the times when and under what Secretary of State. The statement of Mr. Chadboume, Ex-Secretary ol State, in our columns this morning, is conclusive with all whe know Mr. Chadboume that such acts were not done under his admin istration. Ex-Secretarv Stacy can speak for himself. We should like to hear from him. The assertion ol the Standard that re cords “have actually been burned in the Council room and new ones manufactured in the same place" is positively and sol emnly denied by Mr. Chadboume. What does Mr. Stacy know about that? If such a thing was done who did it and when Let us know the whole truth. Besides the denial of Mr. Chadboume of the charges alleged, there is the fact evi dent to everybody that republicans had no occasion during the long term of years they bad control of the State government, to doctor or burn returns as charged by Pishon ami the Standard. They had a large and undoubted majority in both branches of the legislature iu ev ery year from 1850 to 187'J. They had no necessity to count out men elected and count in others who were not elected for the purpsse of retaining control of the State government. They had the legisla ture fairly, lawfully, and it is beyond the possibility of belief that they altered re turns or burned them as the newspaper organ of the robbers at the State House asserts. On the other hand, the conspirators en gaged in the attempt to steal the coming legislature had the most urgent need to “doctor" and change their returns and they have done it, too. They could not otherwise have accompli sued their job. Statement by Ex-Secretary Cliari bounie. To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal: The Argus and Maine Standard of this week say, “the republicans have been in the habit for years, of secretly returning defec tive republican returns to town officers for correction.” I presume this statement is baaed on the affidavit of Mr. Pillion—a former and at present, clerk in the office of Secreta ry of Stati—published last week in the demo cratic papers of the State, ami made to the effect that in the matter »f canvassing returns of votes by the Governor and Council, it lias been the custom under republican rule when returns from republiean towns were in formal and defective, to return them to the town clerks to be corrected. So far as my ex perience extends, this is incorrect. While I do not pretend to know what the practice of my predecessors was in this regard, Ilu most emphatically declare, that during the three years I had the honor to hold the office of Secretary of State, no such custom pre vailed or was ever observed, that no defective, informal or any other kind of elec tion return was ever sent back to any town clerk or other municipal officer for correc tion, or for any otlu r purpose whatever, by any person connected with the office, or by the Governor, or by any member of the Council. And f do as positively and solemn ly deny that returns were ever burned or otherwise destroyed and new ones manufac tured and substituted therefor, in the Council Chamber or any office in the State House during the three years above stated, us is charged in the Maine Standard. It is intended and desired that this denial shall be taken in its broadest sense and that it shall cover every possible point in the case for the years of 187t>, ’77 and ’7S. 8. J, Chadbocukk.

Read it below, and if you are a candid man you will acknowledge that Pillsbury and Gove deliberately laid a trap to cheat the Republican cities in this State. And they caught four cities in their trap. Lewiston. Bath. Rockland and Saco arc disfranchised by Pillsbury Gove. Twins in knavery as the Bangor Whig well styles the “precious pair.” Auocsta, Maine, Dec. 17, 1H71*. To the Republican Advisory Committee Accompanied by the Mayor of Bath, I called at the State House, this morning, to see the return from the city of Bath—depriv ed of representation in the legislature be cause the return was signed by only three Aldermen. Secretary Gove showed me the return, made on a blank sent out front his office. I'pon my inquiring he admitted that the blank was printed under his supervision. The blank contained a ruled space for the mayor's signature, three ruled spaces for the signa tures of Aldermen, these three being en closed by a brace, and then following a ruled space for the clerk's signature close up to the aldermen. Thus: ..Mayor. Aldermen. Attest: .City Clerk. The envelope in which the return was en closed was spaced in the same manner. No person in looking at the blank could possibly suppose that more than three aider men were expected to sign it. I then called for an election blank of last year and there I found a clear open space for the signatures of aldermen, large enough for all the nlder rnen of a city to sign. Not lined off or lim ited in any way. All previous years evident ly hail the sumc form of blank ns last vear. Mr. Gove gave no satisfactory reason for the change in the form of the blank, but thought it was the taste of the printer. The printer, I understand, was EIIEN F. PILLS BURY. As twelve out of the thirteen cities of the State gave republican majorities, the motive for attempting to mislead the aldermen in making up the returns is very apparent. Bnth, Rockland, Lewiston and Saco fell victims to the snare so skillfully laid. The counting-out conspiracy was evidently planned before the election was held. Very respectfully, J. W. Wakefield. From the New York Tribune. The Outrage in Maine. The crime which seems to be now rijn* (or avowal in Maine will make the most painful impression all over the Northern States. When the Tribune first disclosed the plot, more than a month ago, the plan for counting out the republican legislators was thought to be too mostrous for belief. The majority was so large, the sentiment of the people oi Maine was so well understood that the outside public insisted that the republicans were alarmed without cause. The Governor ami his companions would not contemplate such a barefaced injustice. Even the dem ocratic newspapers, outside ot the State of Maine, were at first incredulous. One of them in New York ridiculed the idea that ademocratic Returning Hoard would “cook returns,” and declared that if the demo crats of Maine were to count out the re publicans they would be doing "what Kcl “logg's men, assisted by Secretary Sher “man, Mr. Stoughton and the other visit ing statesmen did at New Orleans three “years ago.” As the action of the Lou isiana Hoard has always been denounced by that paper as one of the greatest crimes of the century, the journal in question in declaring the case in Maine to lie exactly parallel committed itself to the most stren uous disapproval of Governor Garcelon’s course; and indeed it did imply, in the same article, that although republicans might have no right to complain if they were cheated, the democrats were quite incapable of approving any such rascality. A lew days later, having perhaps received certain information, the Now York demo cratic organ changed its tone. Tacitly admitting the fraud, it had the shameless audacity to say “Is it not asking a little “too much of good nature to demand that “the democrats shall always submit to be “counted out, anil be prevented from counting in?” No other apology is of fered for the outrage than this. It is the plea of the thief: "Society is corrupt; dis honesty prevails in good society; thcrc “forc, I will steal, and if anybody calls “me a thief, I answer, ‘You’re another.’ I* or tii rep years the democratic press and democratic politicians have been lying atrociously about the action of the South ern State Returning Hoards in 1870, and feigning to be shocked at their alleged usurpations in reversing the pretended verdict of the polls. At last a democratic Board of Canvassers finds an opportunity to cheat. “Shall wc always submit to be counted out,’’ say they, “and be prevent j "ed from counting in? No indeed. So here goes’’—ami a clear republican ma jority disappears. There is an essential difference between the cases of 1876 and the case of 187!t. The laws of the disputed Southern States not only empowered, but strictly com manded the Canvassers to throw out the votes of all precincts in which the freedom of the election had been disturbed by acts of violence or intimidation. It was a dan gerous discretion to intrust to the Board, but the systematic attempts of the demo crats to suppress the colored vote made such a provision necessary tor the freed nian's protection. There can be no ques tion whatever that the Boards acted within their authority. The only dispute is over the facts of such a degree of violence and Irauil in particular districts as would mor ally justify the exercise ol the discretion which the law reposed in the Canvassers. It is not to the point to continue the dis cussion ol the Louisiana bulldozing now candid men who have read the testimony in the case are pretty well agreed that the decision of the Board was not only author ized by the law but fully warranted by the facts. The consideration we ask our read ers to bear in mind is that the rejected votes of ls7t! were not discarded on ac count of technical errors, but in obedience to a law which declared that majorities obtained by force and terrorism should not be reckoned as an expression of tiie pop ular will. In Maine it is far otherwise. There no such extensive discretion has ever been intrusted to the Canvassers. The law does not assume that elections can be vitiated by terrorism in a free white community, and it requires the Governor and Council to issue certificates to the per sons who appear to have been elected by the face of the returns. Under certain re strictions the town clerks or other local officers may be, and heretofore have been, required to correct palpable errors and in formalities by the precinct returns. But the democratic State Canvassers now re fuse to permit the customary correction by the town records (which inreality issiniply a verification of the names and figures,) and, usurping the power to go behind the returns, proceed, on the pretext of various lrivolous informalities and clerical errors, to count out enough of the members-elect to give their party a heavy majority in both branches of the Legislature and so insure the inauguration of a Governor against whom the people have east a plu rality of 20,000 votes. Perhaps even greater rascality is yet to come. The republican party in the long run must be a gainer by this transaction. There is not a State in the Xorthin which the story ot the Maine usurpation will not he read with shame on the one side, with indignation on the other; and no man who values the ballot and who is not blinded by intense partisan prejudice will fail to see in the action of Governor(iareelon and his Council a fresh reason to detest the democracy. At all times and in all parts of the Union the record of that party has been the same. It has never reconciled itself to a free election and a fair count. A Democratic Paper Condemns the Count-Out and Declares that tlie Men Counted In Wh« Were Not Elected Should Refuse to Serve. [From the New York World (Dem.)] Governor Garcelon and his advisers have made a serious political and a not less serious moral mistake. They have nullified the will of the people of Maine, as expressed at the latest election, on ac count of technical errors and oversights. These errors and oversights were com mitted, not by the electors but by the lo cal canvassers. The votes were in fact thrown out on account of informality in the manner in which they were returned. There is no pretense that this informal ity was such as to leave the intention of the voters in doubt. The tenor of all -stat utes, judicial decisions and treatises which deal with elections is that every presumption should he made in favor of giving effect to the real intention of the voters. The Can vassers in Maine have unquestionably NULLIFIED THE KEAI. INTENTION OF THE voters. There is no dodging that fact, and witli fair-minded people that fact will be decisive of auy controversy that may be raised. It is plain that THE DEFEATED LEGISLATORS who have thus been count ed in OUGHT TO REFUSE TO SERVE, and leave the organization of the Legis lature to the republicans who were elected to it. llow Hie Outrage is Regarded in WuHhiiigton. Views of Prominent Senators. Senator Dawes. Washington, D. C., Dee. 16. The events which transpired in Maine yesterday have produced much excitement in republican cir cles here, and have been the subject of con sultation on the part of republican leaders. Your correspondent talked with several re publican Senators to-day in regard to the course of Governor Garcelon and his demo cratic advisers, and found a unanimity of opinion in regard to the uffair. In response to an inquiry Senator Dawes said “It is the premonitory symptom of what will be attempt ed in the Presidential campaign of ln«0. What is done in Maine will be repeated wherever the democrats have the power next year, if there is any show of success in the attempt. The enormity of the fraud will be no obstacle in the way of the undertaking. It will be entered upon if they can see any fair prospect of success. It is the beginning of a campaign ot fraud more gigantic in its proportions than any yet undertaken in this government. If the people do not awake and prepare for it in season, they will realize it u lien it is too lute. I hope tlie Maine repub licans will not submit peaceably.” Senator I’i.att, of Connecticut, said “I think the result in Maine indicates what we may expert where ever the democrats have control of election returns. It is a great fraud and outrage, and has been anticipated for sometime, but I have nowhere seen it denounced by democrats. If the republicans of Maine tamely submit^to it they deserve to lose the State forever. Senator Hoar. said: "I do not think tin* republicans ought to submit, and I agree entirely with Senator Platt, who says ‘The republicans could have secured the examination of the returns sev eral weeks ago if they had acted with prompt ness.' They ought to have known that the demo crats did not start out merely to take a walk and then turn back, but that they meant mis chief. The republicans ought to have acted promptly at the first sign of the scheme. The democrats of Maine have been put forward in the matter for a purpose which will appear in due time.” Senator IIi.aiii of New Hampshire, said: "It is simply a transfer of the methods of the Southern dem Niornts to the Northern States, anil shows that the democratic party is determined to acquire power hy such methods nnd it they succeed i now they will perpetuate their power for a long time to come. It is a revolution in our form ot government. If the democrats are successful in the Presidential election next year, w e shall never recover the supremacy of till' liallut-lmx w itlioiit bloodshed. 1 don’t know whether there is any remedy under the I forms of law for this gigantic crime, perpe trated under technicalities, hut I think it there is not the republicans of Maine would lie more than justified in organising the true legislature and State government, nnd main taining its supremacy liy force. Whether this is a better course, or a temporary sub mission to the outrage and an appeal to the peaceable of all parties, without discrimina I tion, must be left to the wisdom and discre tion of the republicans of Maine who are com petent to determine the question for them j selves. We have bad some similar experi once, although upon a comparatively small I scale, in New Hampshire. I believe that the I republican majority in Maine will be more than 30,000 next year, but of what avail, it I by submission this year the republicans make possible a still greater crime next. when not only in Maine, tint in other States, the Presidency may depend upon it.” Senator Hollins said “This is merely the New Hampshire ease over again, only on a larger scale. It is a serious tiling, and, to a person who loves bis country and w ants a republican form of government preserved, this action is alarm ing, when we eontenipiute that this move is to take away from the people the re sults of the election, and in fact set the elec tion aside and to render it a mere farce, it be coims a serious question for all patriotic peo ple. A party once in power under this system tuny perpetuate themselves forever.” Senator Kkrrt of Michigan, said: “It is irregular, revolu tionary, and should not he acquiesced in, nnd the American people will not tolerate such high-handed assumption." Senator Logan said “I don’t think the republicans ought to submit an instant.” Senator Burnside said: “It is a gross outrage, hut I have faith in the ability of the republicans of Maine to sustain themselves in this emergency.” CALL FOR Pl'BLIC MEETING.

To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal I have been permitted to copy the follow ing extract from a private letter from a gen tleman in Wisconsin to a friend in this city. After speaking of the gross frauds Pillsbury Co., are attempting to pass off' on the peo ple of this State, he concludes as follows: “We had something of the kind here in 1856, when the democratic party counted their candidate for Governor in by manufacturing certificates. I was in thelegislaturethat year. We first sued out a writ of quo warranto in the supreme court, and then made our plans for a boost ft et armis, in ease the cusses in tended upon bolding on. Hut as soon as the court decided that they bad no legal right to the office, though they had organized their military guard and had the executive office full of'arms and ammunition, flndingwewere in dead earnest they absquatulated, and it was very well they did.

local Ml State Xrtos. Friday, December 19, 1879. Senator Blaine went to Bangor yesterday afternoon. _ Senator Hamlin passed thromrli here yes terday on his wav to his home in Bangor. Any one finding a fur collar will confer a favor by leaving the same at this office. A fellow who had left his w ife’s bed and board, was on the street yesterday, carrying his own bed in his I’oiiquet. The boys hail gay times sliding down hill yesterday. A number of persons slid down hill without sleds. A horse started in for a run away yester day, at the foot ofCourt St. Hewas brought to a stand still after crossing the If. U. track. Mr. L. 1’. Mersey of this city has caught upward of six thousand minnows recently at Ballard brook. _ It was a sharp, cold morning yesterday. At six o’clock the thermometer on Water street stood six degrees below zero. A portion of the old river wall in front ol the Kennebec Arsenal is now being taken down. It will be rebuilt in the spring. An early visitor to this city yesterday from Vassnlboro', stated that the mercury stood nt 13 degrees below zero in that place, in the morning. There are now in Maine nearly seven hun dred saw mills, scattered along the Kennebec, Penobscot, Androscoggin, Saco, St. Croix and lesser rivers ami streams. List of patents granted Maine Inventors, Dec. 16, 1879, furnished by S. W. Bates, Esq. of Waterville: 222,681. Frank Fowler of Deering. Earth Closet. F. L. Bartlett, State Assayer, has issued an 84 pnge pamphlet entitled the “Mines of Maine-’ in which he gives a description of the Rock formations of the State and the differ ent mining belts and an account of the va rious mines operated and prospected. The first number of the Musical Herald, a new monthly publication, is about to be issued in Boston. The enterprise is backed by both capital and brains, its Corps of editors and contributors, including some of the best writ ers on musical topics to be found in this country ami abroad. The sharp air yesterday morning made people ski]) about quite lively. A man from the country came into town clothed in breeches like those Tombolin used to wear, “the furry side out and fleshy side in, a very fine pair said Tombolin.'1 The old man was comfortably clad for any degree of frigid weather. _ One of the “Jehu” style of drivers, rushed his bone up ami down Water street yesterday nf" ternoon, much against the safety of a large number of teams passing. On his way up he and his team were taken in hand by the City Marshal; the horse put to hay at a livery stable, and the man, full of poor rum, com mitted to snug quarters. Mr. William B. Hunt, long engaged in the boot and shoe trade in this city, intends leav ing shortly, for California and British Pos sessions, on mining business. Mr. Hunt will determine on this trip whether he will remain in Augusta, or close up business here and go permanently into the mining business. Mr. Hunt is an old miner, having spent some years in California and Arizona. The attendance upon Rev. C. B. Pitblado’s lecture “Wanted,” at the M. K. church, last evening, was quite large. Those who were present hail an opportunity to listen to a very able and logical discourse. The speaker fully understood the hearts of the people of the present day.

It is now stated tlmt Skowhegan was count ed out with great reluctance hy the (Jovernor and Council, and only as a last resource in order to make sure of a quorum of fusionists in the House. This view is corroborated hy a letter addressed only last weak hy lion. K. (J. Parker to Mr. Steward, republican repre sentative-elect from Skowhegan. At that time it appears that it Imd not been deter mined to count Skowhegan out. Mr. Par ker’s letter is us follow s “State ok Maine, Council Chamber, Augusta, Tuesday, Dec. 9, IM79. Mr. Si i w aiii» There is nothing about tlie return that affects the result. The mat ter in question is the ballot thrown, and which was objected to at the election. A protest has been tiled, hence I deem it proper tlmt parties interested and to la- affected should “have their say” before tlie Council if they wish. I suppose you forgot to enclose the dollar of which you spoke, as 1 found none ill tlie letter, hut it is all right. Yours truly, F. (1. Parker. Tlie dollar referred to is the money which Mr. Steward was to pay for a certified copy of tlie Skowhegan return. These certified copies were sold for a dollar each. It is the first time in the history of the State tlmt any such sale was ever known. The following letter was sent to Hon. Clms. A. White by J. W. Fogler, Esq., clerk in the State Treasurer's office: “Ai oista, Me., Dec. IK, 1K79. Hon. Charles A. White, Treasurer of Maine. Dear Sir: I hereby tender my resig nation as clerk in your department, and ask your immediate acceptance of the same. My reasons for this course are the extraordinary acts of the (Jovernor and Council, under whom I am serving. I caiiaot conscientious ly he the servant of an administration which, in order to perpetrate its power, boldly tram ples upon the will of the people, and insolent ly defies the result of a popular election. I would sooner starve than to receive wages from hands stained with so monstrous a crime. As I have always been treated with per sonal kindness hy yourself, I do not wish to subject you to any inconvenience hy leaving you at the busy season of tlie year. It you desire it, 1 hold myself ready to serve you personally and privately hv any aid I can render—but not to receive wages therefor from an administration which has rendered itself so infamous. So long as the conspiracy was undeveloped 1 hoped tlmt it might never he accomplished. Now, tlmt it is manifest and avowed, I am no longer willing to be ar sociatcd witli it officially in any manner what ever. Very respectfully, W. Fooler. The Feeling nliit-li Prevails. The feeling among the republicans of this city and vicinity against the base action of the Governor ami Council increases with every hour. The people find nothing else to talk about. The republicans stand solidly stal wart, and many n democrat and greenhacker has been heard either to declare his intention never again to vote with a party that will put such men into power, or else to express re buke at some special case of usurpation on the part of the Governor and Council, ns for instance the counting out of Skowhcgnn or Portland. The good sleighing and the grent question of the hour have brought many people into the city from the country, ami there is but one general feeling expressed— that the action of the Council is infamous and must not be endured. The call for the public meeting at Granite Hid! this evening was circulated yesterday, and our best citizens were glad of the oppor tunltyto sign such a paper for suchan object. In Hallowell a petition for a public meeting Saturday night was taken about last evening, and in two hours’ time one hundred and fifteen names were added to it from Hallowell’s very best citizens, including many who voted the democratic ami greenback tickets at the last election. A great interest is shown in the matter there ami many more people will sign the call this morning. People who have re cently returned from Massachusetts say there is as much feeling there over the great out rage as in our own State, and they wonder if we are going to stand such an infamous thing. Theltev. Mr. Pitblado, who lectured at the Methodist church last ereniug, could not let the occasion pass without referring to the wicked action of the Governor and Coun cil. From the papers which come to us from the various sections of the State we can un derstand the feeling that is pervading among republicans. All of the editorials breathe the spirit of resistance, and there is only doubt us to the remedy. The Hath Times says: “Submitting now, what may be expected hereafter? Or, rather, what may not be ex pected from the board which has committed such rank dishonesty at the State House; or what may not be expected from legislators who will consent to serve in that capacity when only elected in such a manner by sucli a liourd, instead of by the people.” The liocklaud Free Press says: “Law, precedent and equity have been set aside to change the political complexion of the gov ernment. To these proceedings the people of the State cannot and will not be indifferent. Neither is there virtue in tame submission. Hut the crime is so bold, the illegality so ap parent, that to submit quietly and await a repetition of the experiment seems to be neither duty nor wisdom. Kvcry step should be contested. ‘No submission’ seems to u» the only manly and safe motto.” The Farmington t hromcle says "Hcpuu licans of Franklin county, is it not high time that we awake to the alarming situation of the hour, and consider calmly the grave menace offered by the fusionists to the peace and security of our county and State? Let us organize in every town and school district, and stand unitedly, shoulder to shoulder, for the maintenance of our principles, the faith ful execution of all our laws, observance of the constitution and the blotting out of the great disgrace put upon our State.” At the indignation meeting in Kockland Wednesday night a committee was designated to co-operate with their representatives and with citizens of other towns and cities simi larly situated, in maintaining their legal rights to representation according to their election. The republican State committee will meet here the first of next week. The Governor and Council were engaged yesterday on coun ty returns.

The conversation, w hich hail been held in French, was hero interrupted hy the en t ranee of Mrs. W heeler, who came osten sibly to ask for a little medicine for her husband from Mrs. Keith's medicine chest, hut really, we both lielievod. to ascertain by some indication in my aunt's manner whether I had discovered and revealed the presence of her son at the Hall. Aunt Helen was, however, equal to the occa sion. She treated her housekeeper with even more than her usual kindness, kept her1 talking for some time, and told her to take a little brandy for her husband—ail tin usual liberality. 1 noticed also that site turned her kindly chat on old days, allud ed to the faithful service that her butler had always rendered her, and to her true friendship tor him and his wife. Mrs. Wheeler was touched, and even shed tears —perhaps of remorse and repentonce. i The next morning dawned and showed the earth covered with a mantle of snow, i which was still tailing heavily. I was dis mayed at the sight. What if it should prevent Mr. Denham from coining to us in answer to my note I had watched the skv all breakfast time, and when 1 had fin ished my coffee hastened to Aunt Helen s room to tell her the bad news. She was! not much impressed hy it. Snow in the South, she said, was not the obstruction that it generally was in the North. "He is a poor feeble old man. M hat j could he do without firearms? And we have none in the house. No: our only chance of safety lies in Mr. Denham s coin ing to-morrow morning, as I have no; doubt he will," replied niv aunt, who showed no signs of fear after the first alarm had passed over. "The convict will not be here to-night, you say “No: Mrs. Wheeler said distinctly ‘to-| morrow night at 10.’ But, aunty, dear, dees your hod-room door fasten securely “Yes. i have a strong night-bolt. 1 never look my door because of the contin gency of fire. Your door is also secured by a bolt, as well as by lock and key." “And the closet with your plate, which is in your room “It shuts with a spring, and can be opened only by pressure on a certain flower in the wood-carving of the door, the secret of which is known only to myself." “Yeu are sure Mrs. Wheeler has not so’n xou open it?" She paused and thought a moment. “I believe not,” she said at length; “but I carnot he sure. I may have opened it be ore her, v,*I en l wished the plate to be cleaned, years ago; "or I trusted her entirely. But how came you to know that 1 iiad a eloset there at nil P” “She told me of it on the day I arrived, ami pointed out the spot. Byc the-bye. Aunt Helen, I think any one might hide behind your tapestry. It is nailed on a ledge, and there is space for crouching behind it.” “For you, perhaps,” she answered, with a smile, “but for nothing larger than a tiny creature like yourself.” "My dear,” she added, “I have rung three times ior Wheeler, and she is not come; will von go and see vvliat is the matter? I am afraid her husband might be worse.” I haste ted to ebey her, but met Mrs. Wheeler at the top of the stairs, coming, she said, to see why her Indy had not rung for her. I explained that the bell had been rung three times, at which she seemed much surprised, and hastened into my aunt's room, told her also that the hell had not been sounded. Aunt desired her to go down and listen while she rang again, that they might ascertain whether the bell was broken, or if she had merely not heard it. She obeyed, and Aunt Helen pulled vig orously the hell-rope which hung at her bedside. Presently Mrs. Wheeler reap peared and announced that no bell bad sounded; Mrs. Keith loo’ed annoyed, but ordered her to send bnmediatelv to the village for the bell hanger, and have the wire repaired. "The gardener can go for hint,” she added. Under the circumstances this ordinary accident gave us a very disagreeable ini £-ession, especially as soon after my aunt ad entered the drawing room, I saw the gardener quietly sweeping a patli in the snow. Aunt Helen asked Mrs. Wheeler, rather sharply, when she came to remove the breakfast things, why she had not sent lor the bell-hanger, lint the woman— though looking, 1 thought, confused—re plied that she had asked the butcher, who chanced to he at the house, to send him, as Jones, the gardener, was wanted to sweep away the snow. By noon Mrs. Keith ami I began anx iously to expect the arrival of Mr. Den ham, and I did little else but watch from the window across the dreary waste of snow tor his desired appearance—Katina’s sistar scarcely looked more eagerly—but he did not come, and two o’clock’dinner was served in the profoundest gloom of a snow* storm. Wheeler, however, an nounced that the bell-hanger had arrived and was repairing the bells. “Lottie,” said my aunt, rather uneasily, “the bell-hanger is a respectable man,’ 1 remember. It would be well to keep him, perhaps, for the night. His presence would lie a protection. Ho iutomy room, dear, and take a book oil' my table for an excuse, and tell him from me, that as the weather is so bail, I wish him to remain to supper, and that Mis. Wheeler will air him a bed.” 1 hastened to take tin* message, and found the workman just descending the ladder, his work being completed. “And if you will please to ring, Miss.” he said, “you will find the lu ll all right.” I rang, and the bi ll was immediately answered by Mrs. Wheeler, to whom in stead of the trail, I gave the message. He* brow clouded at it. but the wurkinan was excessively grateful, and thanked inl and Mrs. Keith effusively. I thought, as j he spoke, I had never sci-u a more cun ning type ot fare, ami 1 told inv aunt so I when 1 rejoined her. See smiled. “Prejudice!” she said. “Ben Hill was always a very honest, hard-workino- fel low. Y»ur tears beguile your i-ves” Lot-1 tie.” Hut I lelt very uncomfortably impressed by the bell-hanger's looks, and returning to the bed-room he had just quitted I looked all through it, behind the arras, and under the bed and toilet table. Then glancing up at his work, I was surprised to see tour wires where only three had been before. Had he hung another bell Was there any trick in the matter? I re- turned to my aunt and told her of |my dis-1 co very. “Four wires He must have hung an-! other bell," she said, "or perhaps lie has repaired the alarm. He is an honest fcl low, and if he has any suspicions of the Wheelers lie ha» probably acted from a good intention. Take no notice of the ex tra wire, dear.” "Hut where is the alarm rope, auntie 1 asked. “Hehind the tapestry at the end of my bod,” she replied. (Continued to-morrow.) State IIcwk. Anoroscooqin.

Thus brashy, weak or sick ly hair becomes glossy, pliable and strengthened; lost hair re-grows with lively expression; falling hair is cheeked and stnbllshed; thin hair thickens; and faded or gray hairs resume their original color. Its operation Is sure and harmless. It cures dun drill!, heals all humors, and keeps the sculp, cool, rleun und soft—under which conditions, diseases ol the sculp are impossible. Asa dressing for ladies' hair, the Vtoiui Is prals. ed for Its gratrftil and agreeable perfume, and val ued for the soft lustre and richness of tone it Imparts. PREPARED BY DR. J. C.
