wings Of the Alabama Legislature have
placed in the possession Of the Attorney
General full statement relative to the
situation OF affairs at Montgomery, In-
cluding the causes which led to the
present troubles. Both bodies claim TO
be the Legislature. The Attor-
ney General, while giving bis
full attention to the various
points presented by these Commission
ers, will not, unless requested by the
President, render any opinion thereon,
it being the fixed determination Of the
Government not to interfere in the po-

thing shall arise under the Constitution
of the United States which shall render
the Intervention Of Federal authority
necessary. 1t is not believed that the
case as it now stands can be reached by
federal authority, but is a subject for
Congressional action.
