Great Excitement Prevails—Minute Details.

Night Report.

THE GOVERNOR ON THE GUARDING OF THE STATE HOUSE AUGUSTA, Me., Jan. 6.—The governor did not agree with the committee who waited upon him to-day that no preparations were needed at the capital tor preventing disturbances. There was no indications as to what course would be pursued. Moses Harriman, of Kennebunk, a Fusionist, announces that he will not particpate in ths action of the House until legal members are seated. A caucus of Fusion members of the Senate was held this evening. John D. Lawson, of Waldo, a member of the last House from Freedom, was nominated tor president of the Senate, and John C. Talbot, of East Machais, nominated Speaker of the House.

A HEARING

was had before the Governor and Council this afternoon, on the petition for admission of twelve Republican Representatives from five cities. A, A. Straut appeared for the representatives, and claimed that they should have had the original certificates, but all doubt had now been removed by the opinion of the court in behalf of all Republicans. He would waive the usual 20 days' notice. He asked for the certificates that they mighi articipate in the organization of the legislature. The Governor informed the gentlemen that it was a matter for the consideration of the court. The matter was referred to the committee of the Council, who subsequently informed Straut that they would report to-morrow.

THE COMMITTEE'S APPEAL, I 'X In their appeal to the Governor, the committee asking for the removal of arms from the State House says: "Never before in our history has an armed man been seen within the walls of that building devoted by our fathers to order, law and peace. It is a great public scandal that at the very portals of a building thus consecrated armed sentinels should be pacing, and that pass-words or inspection signals are requisite* to admission within its walls. Free laws can not be enacted under the presence of armed forces, and it is cruel to mockery for the Legislature of Maine to assemble with 6uch surroundings.

A DAY OF EXCITEMENT.

To-day has been a day of excitement rumors and discomforts, and there are very few of all the crowd here who know definitely what the results of all caucusing and committee meetings will be. The whole state has emptied its, politicians into this little city, and as the weather has been disagreeable enough to keep all in-doors who were not obliged to be out, the lobbies of the Augusta House, on Capital Hill, which is the center of interest, have been crowded all day long. The Republicans are in a large majority. All the leaders of the party are in the city, and those who are arranging the programme have been busy enough. It is understood arms will be removed from the'State House to-night. General Chamberlain has called upon the superintendent of the state buildings to report, to him at once the number of men employed as guards in the State House, by whose order they were enlisted, for what purpose, arid out of what fund they are to be paid. They are already discharged, and to-morrow the State House will be guarded only by the civilians' police

REPUBLICAX NOMINATION. The Republicans nominated Joseph A. Locke, of Cumberland, president of the Senate, and George C. Weeks, of Augusta, Speaker of the House.

The council refused to confirm the nomination of Colonel A. E. Wilds as railroad commissioner.

The order for issuing tickets for admission to the State House to-morrow proved extremely offensive, and has been rescinded. Care will be taken, however, to prevent crowding, so that business can be transacted.

THE TO-MORROWRS CONTEST. The contest to-morrow will be of great interest, although nothing like an outbreak is contemplated.

THE FUSION I STSI

The Fusionists are very reticent about their plan of operations/ their efforts being to conceal it. They avow that they will not show their hand to the enemy. They have held three caucusses to-day, and steadily profess their ability to organize both houses to-morrow. So far as the Senate is concerned, this is ah undisputed fact, but they can not rally a quorum in the House, and it is the purpose of the Republicans to hold the advantage gained by the breakage in the quorum. It is positively known that four

Fusionists have refused to act in the organization, viz Voter, Spraul, Snow and Harrison, allegiance to the Fusionists. This will leave 75 Fusionists, two less than a quorum, and, as the Republicans will absent themselves, this will render the transaction of business impossible. It is hinted that the Fusionists will disregard the requirements of a quorum and proceed to business with the number they may have, but this is not generally believed.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.

The Republicans held a caucus tonight, every member elect in the city being present, whether counted in or counted out, and the absent ones wiQ reach here to-morrow. There was great enthusiasm and entire harmony in the line of action to be pursued.

THE POLICE FORCE

AUGUSTA, Jan. 6.—General Chamberlin has taken charge of the police force at at the State House, and guns from the Bangor arsenal have been packed away in boxes. Both parties hold their cau cures this evening. Thomas B. Swan^ Democratic member elect of the Housed from Minot, has written a letter to thf chairman of the Democratic and Green back caucus that he will not participate in the organization of the House, until it shall fully determine to obey the mandate of the court.

WHAT IS INTENDED TO BZ DONE. BOSTON, Jan. 6 —The Herald's specia from Augusta, Me., mentions rumors thai the Republicans intend to capture th0 state Senate by arresting five Sena-I tors.

MORE REPUBLICAN BRIBERY. PORTLAND, Me., Jan. 6.—In a pres^ dispatch this afternoon, a letter which signed by Thomas B. Swan, of Minst, saying he would not act with the Fusionists. The following affidavits, Which will appear in to-morrow's Argus, are, there-j fore, self-explanatory:

AUGUSTA, Me., Jan. 6.

I, Thomas B. Swan, of Minot, hereby! on oath make the*following statement on! the evening of the 5th of January: I was informed by a reliable person that he had been offered $1,000 by one of the agents) of the Republican party to resign his! position as representative to the legislature of Maine, and Nationals act with the Greenback or Democrat party. I, therefore, consulted with the leading members of the Greenback party, and informed them that I would have it hinted to said agent, that my resignation could be effected with money, and if I was offered $1,000 I would take it and sign the paper that they should request, and then expose the plan to defeat the will of the people by bribery. The party whom they endeavored to bribe on the evening of the 5th informed said agent that I could be purchased, and 10:30 o'clock on the 6th was appointed for mej to be at the Court House, and sign my] resignation and other papers. I went! there at the time appointed, and' the men, whose names ij now, suppress, said: A .. trade! was* made, and said agent paid me $1,000 in cash. Said agent informed me that they had got three or four men to remain away from the House of Representatives sO we could not get aj quorum present. I was required to copy with my own hand the papers which they had prepared before I came to said court house for my signature. I now have the $1,000 in my possession, andj have shown it to several parties. (Signed) THOMAS B. SWAN.

AUGUSTA, Jan. 5, 18S0.

Kennebec, ss.: Personally appeared Thomas B. Swan, and made oath that the above affidavit by him is true. (Signed) E. H. Govtf,

J. P. for the State.

ANOTHER STATEMENT.

AUGUSTA, Me., Jan. 5.—Thomas B. Swan, in the presence of Hon. Solon Chase and Hon. E. H. Gove, makes the following statement: I have this day been appointed by an agent of the Republican party to resign as representative for money. I am going to take the money to-morrow, and thus show to the people the fraud and corruption of the Republican party. I expect to have another party also take money for the samq purpose. (Signed) THOMAS B. SWAN.

This is a true copy of the paper I now hold, and which copy was made and signed before midnigh,t, January 5 and 6i by Thomas B. Swan, in the presence of Hon. Solon Chase and myself. (Signed) *E. H. GOVE.

STILL ANOTHER.

The affidavit of Moses Harrima.i: I, Moses Harriman, of Kennebec, on oath depose and say, that durdng the evening of January 5th, 18S0, I learned to my satisfaction that efforts were being made by the Republicans to bribe the opposition members of the House to refuse to act and thereby prevent a quorum, on Wednesday. I therefore determined tc test the question and get proof, if possible, to lay before the public and thwart the purpose of those who were resorting to such criminal means for the accomplishment of their ends. I managed to get in communication with the parties negotiating the purchase, and enter into an engagement to meet a man whose name, for the present, I suppress, at the Court House in Augusta at half-past 1 o'clock on Tuesday, and did meet him there at the time and place appointed, and there received from him $:,ooo in hand in consideration of my copying in my own hand and signing certain papers presented, declaring that I should not accept a seat in the House, disapproving of the action of the Governor and Council, approving the opinion of the judges of the court, etc. I was also assured that after the Republicans succeed in getting full control of the House I should be seated, and should be well provided for. He lett the court house to go after the money, and said he would be go^e half an hour, and would give the signal cf thre§ raps at the door. He returned in just about half an hour and gave the signal, and I unlocked the doer, let him in, and he delivered the money. I have shown the money to several persons, and now have it in my possession. I was told that the papers I signed would be published to-morrow. (Signed) MOSES HARRIMAN.

AUGUSTA, January 6, 1880,
