the special session will then expire,
when the remaining members viii adj
iourn sine die. y '.i a. 1-.itt
The Radical members have placed
themselves in a contradictory position
in their Legislative action. They have
decided that they have no power toad
iourn for want of the constitutional
Quorum. and hence must continue in
session until the Constitutional term,
forty days, expires. But the House,
by coneprring in the Senate amend
ment to the specific appropriation bill,
and adopting the Senate joint resolu
tion accepting and ratifying the pro-
posed Constitutional amendment,
where only fifty-siX members We're
present, eleven less than a quorum,
they assumed Legislative power. They
say they have no Legislative power to
adjourn, but they have to pass impoT-
tant measures. IffeSS than q quorum
have the power TO ratify the amend-
ment. an act which requires the pres
ence of Constitutional quorum, it
must have the power to terminate the
session. The Radical members un-
Wittingly furnish the best argument,
in their cOnceding that they have no
power to adjourn for want of quorum
but must sit the Constitutional term of
the session out, that can be made
against the legality Of their action on
ratjfying the amendment.
1t IS asserted by Lieut.. Gov. Cum
back that Cox. Baker and the Secreta-
ry of State will certify that the Legis-
iature has ratified the amendment, but
some Of his friends state that the cer-
tihcate viii set forth the circun-
Stdnras tliticr which the ratification
took place. 1t is also rumored that
GOV. Baker viii not sign the specific

ton provides that It shall become a |
