Within the next hour all the military-companies in Augusta were ordered to the Capitol, and they promptly responded- Companies were ordered from other cities and were brought by special trains, and before daylight the next morning; the State House was guarded bj a force sufficient to repel any number the revolutionists could muster. This sudden and unexpected measure completely dazed the conspirators, who supposed they were drilling and organizing their troops so secretly -that the police knew nothing of their intentions. They then changed their tactics, and resolved to send another series questions to the Supreme Court, framed a little different from those Qareelon submitted. This was done on Saturday last.

The legislature passed an act increasing the number to four, In order to get control of the board.

Contrary to the Constitution they gave the civil engineer, a vote In the board. This outrageous partisan act has just been repeated by the legislature. It was the most damaging act passed by the O'Connor party, and yet every Democrat voted for retaining It on the statutes. Hox.

The Enterprise says ot it: "We listened for over two hours to impassioned declamation, scarcely equalled by the acting of high tragedy on the stage, elocution studied to the extreme limit of accuracy, a pronunciation perfect to the point of aifeccation, an elocution devoid of all naturalness, without spontamety, with little argument, less point, and having only aflorid rhetoric that almost dazed the senses and burled the little thought It contained under such a cloud of adjectives, such a multitude of qualifying phrases and clauses as made It easy to understand how the man could talk so long and say so little."

Tte last Hope Crushed- It transpires that while the revolutionists in were pretending to submit to the mandate of the Supreme Court, and were outwardly giving out indications of a disposition to submit the issues they have made to the people, they were covertly laying a plan to seize the Capitol by force, and thus actually inaugurate civil war. To this end, under the dictation of their leading spirit, Pillsbary, who was himself imprisoned in foft Lafayette, during the for treasonable utterances, they have managed to keep their pretended legislature from disbanding, so they could have a little backing when the day for assault came. The Republicans were frequently warned that a coup ffetat TOts contemplated, but could aot believe that any set of men could be so foolish and reckless as to openly, jrith force of arms, defy the supreme authority of the State. In this they place'd too much reliance on Democratic honor, forgetting the history of that party during the rebellion. The conspirators bad kept their secret so well that their plans for organizing an armed force yere already matured, and it only remained for the command to be given, hen several hundred arined desperadoes would have suddenly appeared, in and forcibly of the, Capitol.

Overcoats, men, bovs 2 and children, Eivria. 01 The Conspiracy In The following is an extract from a private letter received from one who has had opportunities to observe and a disposition to study the signs of the times: 4 Ere this you have perhaps seen and realized that events have vindicated my opinion that Eugene Hale and his associates in Maine were wise. I regard the events there of immeasurable importance, vastly greater than as yet appreciated by the public. Many evidences, tangible and intangible, convince me that the crime was but a very small part of a very large conspiracy. 1 trust the development and defeat of this small part will tend to the disclosure and destruction of the whole, and that the nation may safely pass the terrible crisis now approaching.

The enemies of the country are very active, very and I am sorry to say, very strong. The unfortunate failure to appreciate their malignity and their strength, has permitted them to acquire control of a very large part of our country, when in pointof numbers they are clearly a minority. Their success Tte 3imtary Ordered Out. BOSTON, January Herald 9 Aagasta special the whole situation has, since lifteen minutes past eleven 7 clock, entirely chansced. By to-morrow morning three companies of infantry, the Capitol Guards of Augusta, the Auburn Light Infantry and trie Gardner companies, and the Androscoggin Light infantry will garrison the State "House.

AT; ten minutes past; eleven Governor Davis and spector General Tiluen arrived at the Adjutant General's office. In three minntes Governor Davis authorized this startling bntTvell-justified military movement. It was a timely act. The military authorities were out of patience with the politicians who have for several days had the dominant in- Haence at the State House. This has been the most sensational of any night since the complications, but the rumors of stirring events to come were not baseless.

The Fusionist railitia are, and have been drilling down town in this city, and it has been ascertained to the satisfaction of the military authorities that a concentrated attack upon the State Honse was likely to occur at any moment, A plot to burn the residences ot leading Augusta Ke- publicans was discovered to-msht. Triangular bits of paper marked doomed residences. They were tacked on after dark and soon perceived by vigilant police. Had the Governor not given his order for the calling oat of troops to-night the military men at the State House were ready to abandon their watch, which was likely to result In an Inglorious ending. The orders for the militia were given out by Chara- belain's Assistant Adjutant General, for the reason that part of the militia would not, It was feared, obey Governor Davis' order.

The Capitol Guards garrison the State House to-night and partly relieve the worn-out police, who have been without sleep for many hours. A special train is ordered tonight from Lewiston, Probably the most aggressive movement of the State Government will be to disperse the Fusionist Legislature and arrest every Fusionist official who persists in playing at Those who imagine the Fusionists inactive and have abandoned their cause, are laboring under a mistake. While the government is not alarmed, they fully grasp the situation, and will make the State House impregnable. The first military company that ever entered the State House marched in at midnight tonight--the Capitol Guards. Messrs.

Blood, others pus act. On a former occasion, said the speaker, the British Government would not admit that famine existed in Ireland until half a million had and up to the time he and his companions arrived in America evidence was given that England meant to pursue the same policy, BUG In spite of the snohbish and contemptible exertions of weak and puny writers for the press in Cleveland and'elsewhere, the sentiment of the people of the United States we have found such that the English Government dared no longer pursue that policy. He then proceeded to read from a copy of the York Herald an account- of an election scene in Ireland in which the police charged and bayoneted women as well as the reading of which was Created alternately witk cheers, hisses and laughter, according to the demands of different portions of the narrative upon the sympathies of the The ing was supplemented by three cheers for a woman, of whom it was related that she had compelled the unconditional surrender of one of the The conflict. Mr. Parnell explained, resulted from request of impoverished tenants for a reduction in rents, which were so high, on account of the meager crops and the great competition in American they could not pay.

The speaker censured in severe terms the Brinish government for adopting the policy of sending the police against the tenants under such circumstances, and he that the course of that government in that regard is deliberate murder. When the Orangemen of the north and tae Catholics the south of Ireland unite with one purpose to have one country we snail see that very short work will be made of the British government. 3Tr. Parneil made an appeal for the suffering in the west of England, saying that the money raised would 'be" forwarded as soon as possible to Morgan, Drexel to be placed in the Irish famine fund. IT was announced that those who had co me unprepared could send in their names, staling the amount they wished to give and their contributions would be called The audience remained patient and quiet while names and subscriptions flowed in rapidly, the amounts given varying from one to fifty dollars.

Au the end of half an hour Mr. Parnell stated that the contributions of the evening had been exceedingly liberal, the more so since the Irishmen of this city through church subscriptions had previously given in the diocese 3 GGQ.

ELYRIA OPERA-HOUSE -Monday Evening, February 2 Fight With an Eagle- Henry Decker and John House arrived at Lord's Valley, a few days ago. from Trenton, expecting to remain several days to fish and hunt. At daybreak they took their guns and fishing tackle and started for Blooming Grove pond, three miles distant. While passing through the woods Decker separated from House, being called away by the barking of his dog, which he supposed was after a rabbit or fox. House continued on, and soon reached the pond.

He waited over an hour for his arrival, and then started back to where they had separated. He hallooed repeatedly, but received no response. He then followed the tracks in the snow, and after going nearly a mile, discovered spots of blood. His first thought was that Decker had been wounded by the accidental discharge of his gun. As he went on, the blood spots on the snow became thicker, and near a cluster of bushes there were indications that the hunter had encountered something, for the snow was trodden for a considerable distance.

House called out again, and soon there came a feeble response, which was recognized as the voice of Decker. House hurried on, and as he was about to enter a deep ravine he saw the bushes move. Looking closer he saw a large gray eagle perched upon Decker's breast and pecking him in the House approached to within shooting distance and tired, killing the eagle in- Under tae management ol -Jonx AB The Gieat, tfee Only, the Original ELLIS' UNCLE TOM'S CABIN CO3EPASTL. 3O -AJRTISTS- 3O THE I.AKGEsr AOT BEST UXCLE Ton's CABIN COMPANY IN THE Version of Harriet Beecher store's Immortal TV ork.
