The Herald prints two communications
signed "Chemist," in which the writer,
who says he is one of the Paris commun-
| lists, states that the Boston fire was the
work of the labor reformers; that the ex-
| plosions heard during the fire, which were
attributed to other things, were but eXplo-
sions ola powerful combination, lately in
vented and known only to him and his
conferees, no larger than an ordinary ap-
pie, and costing only ninety-two cents
| each. He says their work at Boston was
but the commencement, and intimates that

Poole, 20; MerrimOn, % There is no pros
pect of settlement.
MONTGOMERY, Nov. 30.-Gov. Lewis
sent a communication to the boilers to-day,
| promising cooperation with them in the
| legislature.
Gov. Lindsay, before retiring, sent his
message to the regularly constituted SEN
ate. The house is in session at the capital.
1t thus turns out that both bodies received
| gubernatorial recognition. The boilers
were without quorum in both houses,
| but by admitting Baker as senator from
Morgan county, ChisOlm as senator from
Limestone, DeVenaS as senator from Ma
rengo, and Miller as senator from Buckley
and Concuh counties, none of whom held
certificates or other credentials, they put
| up the necessary quorum. Three of these
| had never filed notice of contest on the
senators holding certificates, nor did any
one have official knowledge of their claim
| to seats as senators until they appeared
| and were sworn in. @
| Among the boilers at the United States
court room the same rule prevailed in
getting up quorum in their House of Rep
resentatives, men enough having been adj
| mitted without credentials. This action
| of Governor Lewis is severely criticised by
the people, who say that he has assumed
to create a legislature where, for want of a
| quorum, none existed before. Much eX-
| element exists, but the legislature at the
| capitol having, in both branches, been
called to order by officers, and means pro-
| Vided by the constitution of the State, and
being composed only of men holding reg
ular certificates of election and having been
| officially recognized by Governor Lindsay,
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 organ
ization, relying on the regularity and le-
gality of their cause and the sense Of JUS
tice of the Federal Government.
