Inglfa, of Wiscasset, said in submitting to the court we should understand that every man of the organization shall re main until the decision of the court is re ceived. The Senate voted to concur with the House communication received from tlia National Greenback Committee of New Hampshire, advising the Fusionists to stand firm to the bitter end, and if need be, fight for tlreir rights. Both branches adjourned to Monday. Augusta, Me., January 24.—The pres ence of the military in the State house ex cites the populace. The Republicans say it was the presence of troops that brought the Fusionists to their senses, and induced them to refer the case to the Supreme Court. The troops are quartered in the committee rooms and lobbies. They are not required to do much duty, except at night, when there are frequent reliefs, about half of the force being on at once. There is a patrol about town, watching carefully for any suspicious movements, and men are posted in every town to give instant information of any threatening demonstration. The military and execu tive are ready for any emergency. Henry Ingalls went to Bangor this after noon, as the bearer of the questions ofthe Fusion Legislature to Chief Justice Apple- ton. Boston, JanuaryJ24.—A special from Augusta says: “Governor Davis said to night ho had not felt 'a single regret since he had taken the step of calling troops to the State house. The step had been urged upon him for several days by his military advisers, but not until evidence of a con spiracy against the State, did he feel justi fied in exercising his prerogative as com mander-in-chief, and then only to protect the public property and uphold the laws. When all the evidence of the conspiracy is ready for tho press, the public at large will see how wise this action had been.” The Govemer was gratified to see how the national press of both parties had upheld the right in Maine. Governor Stone, of Mississippi, has offi cially recognized Governor Davis’ title. Sentinels are placed outside the State house, and all is guarded. Savannah, January 24.—The Spring meeting of the Savannah Jockey Club closed with a fair attendance. The first race, Lamar stakes, mile heats, had five entries and three starters—Wanderer, fil ly, Emily F., and Planeroid colt.

Y.—Utica Herald. tion to Senator Bayard’s Reaolution Withdrawing the Legal Tender Feature from United States Notes, The able Senator from Kentucky, Mr. Beck, made a lucid and- conclusive arsral ment on the 21st inst., in opposition to the celebrated Bayard resolution against mak ing Greenbacks a legal tender. It isthe most forcible presentation of the subject that we remember to have seen A single extract from a condensed report of the speech by telegraph tothe Courier- Journal will give, almost in a nutshell, nearly all the salient points involved: It is always well, and cenerallv wl«p said Mr. Beck, to “let well fnough alone.” It is not well to disturb the currency ex cept in extraordinary exigencies The people were just rallying from stunning blows. He hoped the prosperity now being entered upon would prove perma nent, hut jt might he temporary, for we have no ships, no commerce; we are pac ing enormous sums to foreign ship-owners: we are isolated by our own tariff from the markets of the world; we are pros perous because God in his providence has seen fit to bless us and visit other nations with calamity. A reverse may come, and our prosperity vanish quickly a3 it came. He was one of those who. believed that one of the greatest evils we labored under was officious meddling. If the people were fit to be free, if this was a government by and for the people, they had a right to use their energies as best suited them, free from«the intervention of any interested body of men who sought to crush them, as he had no doubt the great money power of the country sought to do. The currency of the country was not re dundant. It was arrogance for any body of men to say they knew better than the representatives of the people how much currency we needed. If all the money is sued were now in existence it would only amount to $750,000,000 or $900,000,000 including the gold in the Treasury. That was only $15 or $18 per head of population. France had $1,600,000,000 in gold and silver and $450,060,000 of bank notes in circulation, making $00 per head, yet France was a remarkably prosperous countiy. There was no complaint of re dundancy there. Belgium was a thriving country, rich in commerce and manufac tures. Her circulation was $132,000,000, or $135 per head. Germany ha3 $714,- 000,000, or $17 per capita. She had in an unfortunate hour attempted to demone tize silver, but as shown by Judge Kelly’s interview with Bismarck, at which our Minister was present, she had been obliged to stop selling silver and begin to re-issue. Great Britain has a circulation of $905,- 000,000, or $30 per capita, nearly double what we have. Yet, in the face of these facts, said Mr. Beck, he and those of his opinion were denounced as repudiators, fools and knaves, by many newspapers so well paid by the bankers and brokers of New York. * He went on fo show that, owing to losses by accident and natural wear and tear, the amoiit of greenbacks outstanding was probably less than $200,000,000. He showed by the Controller’s report that $179,000,000 of this was held by the banks and the Treasury on May 81,1S79, and though the amount thus held differed at different times it was probably a good av erage, and it left only $167,000,000 in ac tual circulation, assuming that the $346,- 000,000 be in existence; or, if his theory were correct, only $120,000,000. He also referred to the fact that $100,855,000 of this was in bills of $100 and upwards— practically no better than bonds, especial ly the largest denominations of $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000. In protesting against this measure Mr. Beck wished it understood that he. did not believe the original issue of the notes was constitutional. He always denied it was, but the Supreme Court has decided other wise. TVe have them upon us, and he was determined to make the most of them, use them for tlie benefit of the peo ple, and not destroy them in the interest of bankers. A BIG WHALE PROPOSES TO SWALLOW ALL THE LITTLE FISHES. Tom Scott Puts His Finger in the Railroad Pie. A special to the Chicago Tribune from New York, dated January 20th, is as fol lows: ' • An important conference was held in the Windsor Hotel to-night between J. N. McCullough, First Vice President of the Pennsylvania Company, which manages the leased lines of the Pennsylvania Rail road Company, at which the proposition was made and discussed of leasing to the Pennsylvania Company for a long term' of years the Louisville and-Nashville railroad and all its old and recently acquired dependencies. Both gentlemen were extremely reticent when questioned on the subject, but it is under stood the proposition was not unfavora bly received, and that further conferences to endeavor to arrange matters will he held. The consequences of such a combi nation as is here projected, will be readily understood by reference to the details of tlie Louisville and Nashville coup, where by 3,500 miles of railroad, extending from the fresh water lakes on the north to the Gulf on the south, and from St. Louis to Savannah, were consolidated under one management, and by considering in addition the enormous system of roads at present under the control of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. These aggregate over 4,000 miles of line, exclusive of sidings, and second, third and fourth tracks, over 3,000 of them being leased railroads, operated by the Pennsylvania company. It would give to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company a trunk line to which no other in the world offers a comparison—from New York to Philadelphia; thence westerly via Read ing, Harrisburg and Pittsburg to Chicago; thence southerly via Indianapolis, Louis ville, Nashville, Montgomery and Mobile to New Orleans; also, from Indianapolis southwesterly to St. Louis; thence south easterly via Evansville, Nashville, Chat tanooga and Atlanta to Savannah; also, from Bowling Green, Ky., to Memphis, with any number of branches tapping the territory through which it runs in all di rections. This startling report has since been de nied and pronounced a “lie” (in a a sub sequent telegram to the Cincinnati Ga zette) by president Standiford, of the Lou isville and Nashville railroad. Vice President McCullough of tho Pennsylva nia company also declares the above statement to be unwarranted. And sowe go. The railroad movements of to-day are contradicted to-morrow. Words never spoken put into the mouths of presidents and vice presidents by ambitious reporters, to be repudiated by them as soon as pub lished. New lines laid down and then incontinently blotted out. Nothing scorns to be certain just now in the railroad fu- ture, bpt filibustering and fighting in every direction. After a while the smoke and dust will be blown away and then matters will be plainer. Poor Colonel Cole. How many things has he been made to do and say since his treacherous friend Stevenson sold hun out? The following will explain itself) The Hinesville Gazette says that a great many of the rice farmers have begun to prepare their rice lands for the next . season. Many who went into this busi- losing seven pounds during the heat. ncss ou a i a J rge 3ca i e last year, from the splendid success they met with, have de- ermined to plant on a still larger scale his year. The Gazette thinks the rice top seems destined to become the leading toney crop of its section. There was crore money made on it last year than on mher cotton or timber. —Turkey’s territorial loss i3 estimated by a German authority as a territory al most as large as Prussia proper, with a population of eleven millions.
