A1oNraouERr. Aa., Nov: 18.-rhe Alabama
Legislature convened to-day. At 12 o'clock
Lieutenant Governor Moren, who holds over by
called the Senate to order in the Senate Cham
ber. Eighteen Senators we're sworn in, and the
Senate adjourned.
In the hall of the House, Mr. Hubbard,
Speaker Of the last House, and who holds over
by the Constitution until his successor is elected
and qualified, called the members to order, and,
On the call of the roll Of counties, forty-fye
Representatives presented themselves, and we're
sworn in.
There not being a quorum, the House i'd
iourned until IL m. tomorrow.
Every member in each House at the Capital,
appearing to-day, was Conservative.
Tho Republicans met at the United States
Courtroom, and organized with member OF
each branch in the chair. This makes two Leg
is}atures in Alabama. Five Conservatives we're
abEent, but will arrive tonight. The three at
Marengo, who we're arrested yesterday, hold cer-
titcateB Of election, but they hare been carried
to Mobile. This would make 53 Conservative
quorum.
The Republicans are said to have sworn in 50
in their branch, claiming and seating three from
Marengo and three from Barbour Counties, but
who do not hold certificates Of election from the
Secretary OF State.
The Conservatives from Barbour County who
hold certificates were arrested this afternoon,
but they promptly gave bonds to appear at the
next term OF the United States Court, and we're
discharged.
There is considerable excitement, but no dis
t11Ibancc vet. Tomorrow will probably make
new developments.
