POLITICAL.
Radical Lawlessness in Alabama.
The Ballot Box Played Out.
Two Legislatures, Recognized by
Two Governors.

| MONTGOMERY, ALA, Nov. 29.-Gov.
Lewis sent communication to the boilers
to-day promising cooperation with them il
the legislation.
Gov. Lindsay before retiring sent his
message to the regularly constituted Senate
and House in session at the Capitol. 1t
thus turns out that both bodies have re-
ceived gubsrnatorial recognition.
The boilers were without a quorum in
either House, but by admitting Baker as a
Senator from Morgan county, Chisholm as
Senator from Limestone County, Derenas
as Senator from Marengo county and Mil
Ter as Senator from Bulkler and Cove Cut
counties, none of whom had certificates or
other credentials, they made up the neces-
sary quorum. Three Of these had never
filed notice of contest on the Senators hold
ing certificates, nor did any one have OIL
cial knowledge of their claim to seats as
Senators until they appeared and were
sworn In.
Among the boilers ct the United States
Cour room the same rule prevailed In getting
up quorum in their House of Representa-
tiVes, men enough haveing been admitted
without credentials to do SO.
This action of Gov. Lewis is severely
c-itici sed by the people, who sag that he has
assumed to create Legislature where for
want of quorum none existed before.
Much excitement exists, but the Legisla-
ture at the capitol having tn both branches
been called to order by the officers and the
means provided by the Constitution of the
State, and being composed only Of men
holding regular certificates of election, and
having been officially recognized by Gov.
Lindsey, who was the Governor of Alabams
when the Legislature assembled, and who
sent his message, and approved bills passed
by them, are determined to hold their Or
gsnization, relying on the regularity and
legality Of their course and the sense Of
justice of the Federal Government.
