Garcelop said he now put into iheir hands the opinion of the t-s- preme Court, as well as the petition of gen­ tlemen from certain cities claiming seats, and invoked their careful comiileration of thu same. Three cheers were given for Gov. G&rcelon, followed by prolonged hisses. The quorum is made of seventy-five Fusion- ists and one Republican, Eugene Hale.

Iks excitement prevailing over the Ute trouble in Colorado has been somewhat in­ creased lately by a letter published from Mrs. N. C.

The evidence was tiven to thecommisrion by the women iu their examination on their release from captivi'y, while in the Gunnison country. It wa« first distinctly understood bv them that this evidence «<f their mistreatment should be used only by the commission in their efforts to e*tab!ifh tbe guilt of the Indians who had per­ petrated the outrage. Each and all of ibe captivi k begged that toi* phase of their horri­ ble misfortune should not be given to the public. ,It seems to have been in their situation as cap- five* a choice between death or submitting to< the he.lish dcuire* of their captors.

Optalntt of tbe Supreme Court Justices Following is a synopsis of the answer of the Justices of the Maine Supreme Court to the series of interrogation* submitted to them by* Gov. Garoelon: 1. The Governor and Oonnoft have no author- i'y to order a new election when no proper re­ turn is made. The Horn may seat members who have in fact been elected, even if no re­ turn at ali is made to the Secretary of State. A Representative is not to be deprived of his seat becauso municipal officers have failed to do their duty. 2 The constitution calls for returns which shall be regular in all e«sbntial particulars, and which truly represent tho facts they purport to set forth. B:jr. much of th© constitutional re­ quirements is merely directory. 3. Wniie towns may tavs seven Selectmen, moat of them have but three, and the signature uf two of tnese is sufficient. In the case of Boards of Aldermen, a majority of aqaoram, though not a majority of the wnole, is compe­ tent to act. 4 It is immaterial whether the returns from a city show the voie by wards or not It ia not necessary that each candidate's name should be on the returns, provided that the votes re­ turned as t-catteruig, however added or sub­ tracted, do not affect the result Votes re­ turned as scattering may have had that word printed on them for all the Governor and Coun- oll know. Where a plurality elects, an election is i ot to be defeated because the whole num­ ber of ballots is. erroneously stated, or not stated at all. & Returns are not valid unless signed by tbe Town or City Ulerk, but a Deputy Clerk or Clerk pro tem. would answer the purpose. 0. The Governor and Council must act on the basis ot' the returns aa they are sent to the Secretary of State. If they purport to be made, signed and sealed in open mooting, the Gov­ ernor and Council have no right to ascertain whether they were so made or not 7. If returns are signed by two Selectmen, the Governor and Council are not to inquire whether the town had but two Selectmen or not The signatures would be enough in cer­ tain eases, and the presumption is in favor af the return. & A person not a citizen may be a Selectman defacto, ami bind the tjwn as completely as if he were a Selectman de jure. So far as the public are concerned tho acts of a de Jacto of­ ficer are as valid as those of a de jure officer. 9. In the case of mar ked ballots. Selectmen have the right to reject them when offered, but the statute forbids the rejection of a ballot after it has been received into the ballot-box. The Selectmen have no business to report the mat­ ter of marked ballots to the Governor and ' Council, ant)' the latter have no right to pay to such report or reference. be no ground for rejecting the r "do" or disregarding the that are in oomtuon use as their any attentii 10.

The Texas Gift Concert Enterprise received $100,000 and distributed $3,00tiBr $4 - 000, the first prize of $50,000 goi^to a confederate who was paid $600 for per­ sonating the lucky man. One Henry P. Jones, in New York, sends autograph letters over the coun­ try to his "cousin," who left the army after the war, and whose name, the same as the correspondents to whom he is writing, "Jones" has seen in the di­ rectory. "Jones"says he is agent for a lottery, and will arrange it so that his "cousin" shall draw the prize on an inclosed ticket, because it will be a good advertisement if he goes around among his friends and neighbors proclaiming his good luck. In a few days "Bur­ nett" writes to "Jones'" "cousin;" that is to say, he sends a letter to the eaihe parties in different parts of the country whom "Jones" addressed, say­ ing that the correspondent thus ad­ dressed has drawn a watch worth $300, cm which, for packing, registeiing, etc., he is allowed a commissu n of $3. The dupe sends his $3, and "Burnett" sends another letter announcing that "Jones" had no authority to send him a lottery ticket free. He thereupon demands $5 more--tho price of the ticket--which the dupe sends him, and th ecorrespond- ence closes. Another letter flooding the country announces that the receiver of it, hav ing remitted the proper amount due, has secured title to certain shares in the '* Silver Mountain Mining Company." The dupe chuckjps at the mistake that has been made, orders the certificates forwarded and receives them. Then follow sundry assessments upon the atook as long as the innocent will stand it.

A National Urange Memorial. The National Grange of Patrons of Hus­ bandry have memorialised Congress on the subject of grievanoea from which they pray for relief: 4 1. That transportation companies engaged in in'er-State commerce of the United Statee have so far exceeded their chartered rights and fran­ chises that to-day their management ia without o\c p»ioit illegal and arbitrary. 2. That frequent and unreasonable fluctua­ tions in their rates of transportation, both of freiKht and passengers, are whimsical and un­ necessary. 3. lUilroads are common carrier*, built by the people for the common weal, and should not be tolerated as arbitrary and crushing mo­ nopolies. 4. Organized combination among these trans­ portation companies destroys the possibility of legitimate competition and oppresses the indus­ trial clause* of our country. 5. These monopolies, anuually growing more powerful and defiant, have not been and are not restrained by effective Congressional legis­ lation. The memorialists therefore urge the enact­ ment of such laws art. will relieve a burdened at<d oppressed people from these unlawful ex­ actions. Ia Ita Sncoaaa ? [Wb th* Chicago Daily Hcwa.) fkmbt contiimes to be expressed! as respects ttie success of the Edison light. Scientific men who have seen it say that the inventor has achieved noth­ ing not heretofore known, and that he is merely going over old gxonnd which has been worked by others, and unsuc­ cessfully. Some of the objpflHnn? to the cloctrifl imlit. for dwellings may bo summarized as follows: Unlike gas,it cannot be stored up for future use. If apythingfiappeneA the steam engine,the lights would immediately go out. If the engine power falls off in strength even, the lights flicker. It will cost nearly aa much* for two or three lights as for twenty. But the main difficulty of the electric light, it is claimed, yet remains unsolved; that is, its divisibility. As long ago as 1825, Dr. Ohm discovered the unit of electric resistance. The so- called magnet in telegraphy and tele­ phony is measured by the force of re­ sistance in ohms it offers to the electric current in its parage. Consequently, it is the storehouse of tbe electric force for local use at the points where it is employed. But If there is a long line of wire the battery which supplies the electric force must be powerful enough to overcome the resistance of all the magnets in the circuit, or else there must be relays of batteries to do so. in the instance of the electric light, the first lamp on the circuit must be al­ lowed a certain resistance before it will afford the necessary light. But the second lamp will have ite light sub­ tracted from it ia the ratio of the square of its distance to tiie resistance ohms in the first lamp of the circuit; while as the lamps increase the resistance Increases like compound interest; so that the last lamp in the circuit receives no electric current whatever, because that has been consumed by the resist­ ance experienced between it and the first. Mr. Edison may have overcome this resistance, but the question is: At what cost of steam power? He may be running only a fe^ lamps with an eighty-horse power engine, and that is said to be the size of his machine; if so, his light is as yet an immensely-ex­ pensive one, and the question of il­ luminating residences with electricity still remains unsolved. Tbat large spaces are already successfully illumi­ nated with it is, of course, well known. If, however, Mr. Edison has succeeded in dividing the electric current, eco­ nomically, then indeed is his invention a success. But here is exactly where the doubt still exists. Cape and Sword. Bonaparte never forgot anything; least of nil the days of his poverty, and the slights he then received. Grace Greenwood sends to the New York Tribune the following reminiscence of the corporal and Emperor, which is quite charucl eristic: When Bonaparte first paid court to Madame de Beauharnais, neither was rich enough to keep a carriage, and the young hero, who was deeply in love, often gave the charming widow his arm when she went to vie it her man of business, a notary named Baguitiean. Mad ame,who had a great confidence in l3gal adviser, who was a friend as well, went to see him immediately after her engagement to Bonaparte, who, as usual, accompanied her, but, from mo­ tives of delicacy, did not enter the no- were writing. The door being imperfeotly closed, he here heard nearly all that was said during the interview, and especially the arguments used by Baguideau to deter Madame de Beauharnais frop the mar­ riage she acknowledged herself about to contract. "Mark my words, modame," said the notary, "you are about to commit a great* folly, of which jou wiil bitterly repent. Why, this man you are about to espouse has nothing in the world but a cape and a sword." 8aid Josephine: "Bonaparte never spoke to me of this, and I had not the faintest suspicion that he had overheard Raguideau's contemptuous words. Can you, Bourrienne, figure to yourself my astonishment when, eight years after, on the da; of his coronation, as soon as he was invested with his imperial robes, he said,'Let them goandaeek Baguideau; have him come instantly. I have somfe- thing to say to him." The notary was promptly brought, and stood much astonished before the Emperor, who with his peculiar sar­ donic .simile said to him, "Monsieur 1 have 1 nothing in the world bat a cape and a sword?" Edison's Inventions* There is considerable curiosity M to how Edison's inventions are to be con­ trolled. From the New York Exchange we gather, as follows: The Edison Electric-Light Com­ pany is organized with a capital of $300,000, divided into $100 shares. It is clainjed that it owns all the rights which accrue to Prof. Edison's discov­ eries and inventions in the way of pro­ ducing light ty means of electricity. It is said that three shares were.sold lately at $3,800 per share, and the report was that $5,000 we s bid. The Edison Ore Milling Company is organized with 3,500 shares, the par value beiDg $100 a share. This com­ pany h to operate Prof. Ed^bn's sys­ tem of extracting gold and silver from ore. The results of this system are said to be wonderful, a much higher percentage of the precious metals be­ ing saved than has been practicable under any of the old methods of re­ duction. The Edison Polyform Company is organized to manufacture and sell a medical preparation for ihe curb of neuralgia. Prof. Edison has been a great sufferer from thus disease, and it is said that he obtained complete re­ lief through the application of this rem­ edy devised by himself. It is soon to be oflered through the trade, an order for 1,000,000 bottles having been given to a Pittsburgh glass factory lecently. The Polyform Company has a capital of $350,000, divided into $100 shares.
