Most

of it

BOSTON, Dec. 26.—A special to the Herald from Augusta says The following is an abstract I rom the report of the committee on the'M aine election returns, made in the Council: Your committee, in submitting this report, deL-m it necessary to state, specifically, certain facts connected with the returns l'rom many of the towns, cities and plantation, which have materially affected the result of the canvass votes returned. There are many returns, which, owing to defects, cannot be counted, but we shall specify only those which have affected the result. Article 4, part xst, section 5, of the Constitution, regulates the manner of electing Senators and Representatives to the Legislature, and also the process of transmitting to the Governor and Council the evidence by which they are to determine who have been elected. This seotion provides that in case of towns and plantations, municipal officers shall, in open town and plantation meetings, at the close of election day, sort, count and declare the number of votes cast, and torm a list of all persons voted for, and after the name of each person thus voted for shall write the number of votes received by him. This last shall be recorded in open meeting, by a clerk, a^d a copy of this recorded list shall be signed bv the selectmen and attested by

to be deposited in the office ®f the Secretary of State, within thirty days thereafter. A section of the revised statutes requires that in addition to the foregoing certificate and mandatory provisions of the constitution, the return shall state the whole number .of ballots cast at the election. The same s. ction of the constitution requires that the Governor and Council shall open and compare the returns thus transmitted, and from them determine who appeals to be e'tcted, and the Goverti6r is to iigue to such persons as thus appear to be clected, summons to take seats in the Legislature. The requirement is that the returns shall be made and sealed up in open town or plantation meetings. We understand this is required in order that the electors may be present and 6ee that the returns are made in accordance with the facts, and we are of the opinion tkat the returns not made up in open meeting are not legal returns and cannot be counted. We have acted upon this belief in making our tabulations. Several returns accompanied with affidavits to support them, against the courting of returns specified therein, have been considered oy us. The protests allege said returns should not be counted, because they were not made up in meeting, but were made after the meeting closed, in some private office or store, where 00 one but a portion uf the municipal officers were present, and in some ctises only the clerk. This condition of things in several case* has been proven to our entire satisfaction, and we haye rejected returns thus defective. In the •case of the town of Stoneham,an affidavit signed by two select ne,nj establish*} the fact that they bigned the returns in blank, and the town clerk took them home and filled them up, and the selectmen have no knowledge of what the return contains. For the forgoing reasons, we have rejectee^.,, in our tabulations representative reiurns from the towns of Jay, Stoneham,

Lisbon. Webster and Farmington. The return from the town of Searsport has also been rejected, because it was not made up in open town meetings. By means of these rejections, a few persons will receive seats in the Legislature that would not have been thus seated had the returns from the aforesaid towns been made up as the Constitution requires. These are James O. White, of Jay district Louis Voter, Farmington district N. Bradbury, Stoneham district Joshua E. Jordan Searsport district and Leonard D. Beai. The supreme Court held that municipal officers shall sign the returns with their own hands,, or make their marks, otherwise the returns cannot be counted. We have found several returns fully defective in this particular, and have accordingly rejected them. By this rule laid down by the court, New Sharon returns have been rejected. This rejection affects the election ol one representative. We tound several returns fatally defective because thev wen* not attested by the town clerk. The Supreme Court held 'that 6uch are not legal returns, and we 'Jhave ejected them. These representatives seem to be affected, viz: F. W.

v*PilI,

of Exeter Aaron H. Woodcock, of ^Danforth District Jas. H. Clark, New MCastle John H. Brown, of Hoi don District, and J. W. Leighton. The revised

4

•y.»-

by

statutes require that in cases of plantation, in addition to forms ^required by towns, a list of voters of plantations shall be sent to the Secretary of State, otherwise that the returns from such plantations shall not be counted. We have found the returns from several plantations very irregular in this particular, and we have specified them on our tabulation. It will there appear that the registration of these returns will effect the return of two representative*. They are quite numerous, but we shall Hpftcify such as affect the result of the election. The Representative returned from the town o. Lebanon is one of them. His rejection affecis the election of one Representative viz.: S. D. Lord. Vancebora ana Albany are like cases and the rejection of the returns from these towns affects the election of two Representatives. Representative districts in most cases are composed of several towns. In some of these towns the full christian name ot candidates seems to have been U6ed, in others only initials, and we hesitated as to whether we could count initial names with full names. On examination of the law we find the Supreme Court, vol. 64, p. 50(, has held that the Governor and Council must count them as distinct and separate persons By adopting ftiis rule laid down by the court, the election of five Representatives is affected. The statute requiring the setting forth in the returns Of the whole number of ballots, in many cases was not complied with. We have found that it has been the practice of the Governor and Council for many years tu reject such returne, and vc' not deemed it safe to deviate from t'.is long-established interpretation of the law, so fully recognized by our predecessors, and in making our tabulations have omitted all such returns. It will be perceived that these rejections affect the election of several representatives in the countv of Washington. One candidate for the Senate seems to have been voted for in some of the towns of his county, by the name ofjno. T. Wallace, jr., and in others, by the name of John T. Wallace, but we have tabulated the votes as shown for two different men, as we have no legal kaowledge that the same person i6 meant. Two sets of returns were sent in to the Secretary of State from the town of Fairfield, each of which contradict each other and it was irnppossible to determine the result of the election in that town. We have, therefore rejected the returns from that town in our. tabulations. The rejection affects the election of one representative. Accompanying, and attached to the representative reuirn from the town ol Skowhegan, there was a statement signed by the selectmen that a certain number of ballots were protested as being illegal. One of. the ballots objected to was attached to returns. The selectmen and their certificates allege how many of 6ueh ballots were thrown out, and in this certificate they inform the Governor and Council that they make the returns subject to legality or illegality of that kind of ballots. "The ballot was in the form of an ordinary sheet folded to make two leaves. On one of the pages half the candidates names were printed, and on the next page the balance of the names of the candidates appear. We are fully satisfied that kind of ballot is clearly in vk•w' tute, and we have accordingly rejected a number of ballots in making our tabulation. The objection to counting the vote of the city of Auburn was made because the voters names added to check the lists in three of the wards, were made in violation' of the law, while voting was going on, on election day. Affidavits filed, fully established that to be the fact. Other affidavits show the same condition of things in other cities. We consider these facts as not legally cognizable by the Governor and Council as a canvassing board, and we hav« disregarded them in our tabulation. The returns from Portland are defective, because they jdo not coaoply with tho Censtitntional requirement which provides that the names of all persons receiving votes shall be stated in the returns. A large number of votes were returned from iaid city as "scattering," and there were no possible means afforded by the returns, to determine for whom such votes were thrown. Returns from Saco, Lewiston," Bath and Rock'and, are fatally defective, because they were not signed by a majority of the Aldermen, under statutes, and by the decisions of the courts such returns cannot be counted, and we have been obliged to reject them. It will devolve on the House of Representatives to determine in the first instance, and finally find who have been elected to the House from these cities, as we have no legal evidence before us bv which to determine that question.

CHARGED WITH ADULTERY.

From Saturday's Daily.

Benjamin Perkins filed a complaint before Justice Denehie, yesterday afternoon, alleging "that one Anthony Abriola, from the 9th day of December to the 25th day of December, 1879, unlawfully lived in open and notorious adultery together with one Mary Perkins, who was then and there the wife of the said complainant." To this Benjamin scrolled his bignature, and in due time Mr. Anthony Abriola, the Italian fruit man on Ohio street, found himself in the presence of a constable, and shortly after in the presence of the august dispenser ot justice. The trial occurred to-day. The wronged husband produced three witnesses but the testimony was not strong enough to convict Abriola and he was released. After the trial Mrs. Perkins sallied forth to the City Clerk's office and astonished Mr. Davis by asking him if he could not grant her a divorce. She was directed to an attorney's office, and it is to be presumed that a complaint for divorce will be filed shortly^,,., fi:'
