ALABAMA AFFAIRS.

The State of Alabama presents the sim
gular spectacle of having two Legislatures in
session at the same time-both at the capital;
one having assembled in the capitol building,
and the other in the court house. The former
has small Democratic majority, and the lat
ter Republican majority, and both bodies
claim to have been constitutionally elected
Governor Lindsay, whose term had not ex-
pired at the time of the assembling Of these
legislative bodies, refused to recognize the one
which assembled in the court house; but his
successor, Lewis, who was installed last week,
sent communication to this body, designated
as the boilers, recognizing them as the prop
erly constituted Legislature, and promising
cooperation with them in legislation. 1t thus
turns out that both bodies have received gu
bernatorial recognition. Much excitement
exists, but the Legislature at the capitol,
having in both branches been called to order
by the officers and means provided by the Con-
stitution of the State, and being composed Of
men holding regular certificates of election,
and having been officially recognized by Gov
ernor Lindsey, who was Governor of Alabama
when the Legislature assembled, and who
sent his message to and approved bills passed
by them, are determined to hold their organi-
zation, relying on the regularity and legality
of their course and the sense of justice of the
Federal Government.
The excitement was somewhat increased on
Saturday, caused by detachment of the Sew
enth United States Cavalry marching in front
of the capitol grounds. When it was ascer-
tained, however, that the troops were merely
intended as a posse comitatus, and that it was
not the intention to eject the Legislature from
the capitol, the excitement subsidized. The as
sembly in the capitol-building, designated as
the Conservatives, passed bill on Saturday
and sent it to Governor Lewis, but he refused
to receive it; whereupon joint resolution
was passed raising committee to communi'
cate the facts of the situation by telegraph
to the Government at Washington, and ap-
pointing delegates to present a written state
ment of the case to the President. The Con-
servative Legislature expresses the greatest
confidence that the President will sustain them
when the facts are laid before him.

THE CADETS BALL.

It was our pleasure, on last Thursday even
ing, to attend the Commencement Ball of the
Military Academy in our town. A fine band
of music had been engaged by the managers,
and bountiful supper had been provided ;
indeed, every preparation had been made by
the different committees to hail the Commence
ment season with JOY and gladness.
About eight o'clock the guests began to
gather in the brilliantly illuminated and taste
fully dressed halls. Expectancy ran high,
and "a thousand hearts beat happily" swells
ofvoluptuous music now filled the rooms, and
in accord with it were the movements gay
and sprightly" of the light fantastic toe
"soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
And all went merry as marriage BELL
At one o'clock the supper was served-an
elegant and sumptuous repast-to which all
did their devoir, even those over whom the
power of music had no charm. The dance
was then renewed, and was kept up about an
hour, after which the party dispersed to their
homes, to rest in the arms of Morpheus, and
meet again in the land of dreams. K.

A Couple OF WoRrHIEs-Somef few weeks

A COUPLE OF WoRTHIEs.-Somefe few weeks
ago committee was appointed by the Kan
sas Legislature to investigate as to the truth
or falsity of the charges made, Of bribery and
corruption, against Senators Caldwell and
Pomeroy, and that their election was brought
about by purchasing the votes of members of
the Legislature After carefully investigating
the charges, the committee reported that they
were we'll founded, and resolution was adopt.
ed, ordering copies of the report of the COM
mittee, as also of the evidence. to be sent to
both of the Senators implicated, and also GER
tilted copies to the Vice President of the United
States, with the request that he lay the same
before the Senate. Senators Caldwell and
Pomeroy, finding it necessary to take some no.
tice of the affair, each made personal expla-
nation, in the Senate, wherein he denied the
truth of the charges, and denounced it as a
trick of personal enemies, and bOastingly asked
OF the Senate On investigation, which was not
ordered. Caldwell was particularly indignant,
and said that he had heard rumors of such
charges being made against his honor and H.
tegrity, but no official announcement had been
received by either him or his colleague OF any
such investigation or of its results. II now
turns out that the resolution of the Kansas
Legislature cannot be found anywhere in the
journals of either house. The Legislature has
adjourned, but the resolution which was adopt
ed by both houses, ordering certified copies of
the report and evidence to be forwarded to
the United States Senate, as well as to the two
guilty Senators, has been suppressed, and does
not appear in the journals of either house.
The suppression of the records was undoubt
edly done by agents of Caldwell; and his "loyal''
tools done their work so secretly, yet so effect
nally. that no copies of the report or evidence
will be apt to again see the light, let alone be
sent to the Vice President Caldwell. there
fore assuming the garb of injured innocence.

up by his personal enemies. These Radical
scoundrels scruple at nothing to accomplish
their ends; and it is only to be- regretted that
such yillainy SO often trinmphs.

REMOVAL OF PRisoNERS.-iaving receiv-
ed the order of the Governor and Prison Com
missioner for the transfer of the Territorial
convicts from the Boise county Jail to the Pen.
itentiary near Bsise City. Sheriff McClintock
complied with it on last Thursday. Mr.. T. V.
Mathews, the proprietor of the stage line. sent
up an extra conveyance. and the prisoners,
eleven in number, properly ironed, were con.
yeyed from the Jail, and accompanied by Mr..
McClintock with three or four armed guards,
they were safely delivered to U. s. Marshal
Piukham, OF the Penitentiary on the evening of
the same day. From an examination of the
new prison, we are satisfied that the convicts
will find their quarters more comfortable than
the old jail they have LEFT. and great improve
ment in sanitary view. though their chances
for escape are greatly diminished. Having
business in Boise City at that time. We
took seat along with the driver and accom-
panied the party. After our arrival, some of
our Radical friends desired to know if we had
brought down those fellows as delegates to
Democratic Convention, but We consoled them
with the assurance that they were all Radicals
except one. and that they had better call their
Republican Territorial Convention at once, as
we believed they would now have quorum.
Sheriff McClintock returned on last Saturday,
while Mr.. Jerry McCarty remains for q few
weeks as one of the guards at the prison. We
remained few days enjoying the Inequalities

friends, and after testing the qualities of Cy
