CONCORD, n. H., june S.-Upon the
assembling of the senate to-day the opin-
ion tot the supreme court, touching the
eligibility of Priest and Proctor to seats in
the senate, was submitted and placed on
the minutes. The court declined to pass
an opinion upon the action OF the governor
and council in the matter as the completed
act performed in the discharge of an ex-
press duty required of the executive de-
partment by the constitution and funda-
mental, law, holding that such an opinion can
have no further weight than the criticism
of one branch Of government upon the
action Of a coordinate branch. The court
is, therefore, Of the opinion that when the
senate adjuged Priest and Proctor duly
elected senators their action was final and
conclusive as to their right. The opinion
was based on the assumption that at the
time Of the action Of the senate a coustitu-
tiOnal quorum was present. The opinion
is signed by Chief Justice Gushing and
Associate Justices Ladd and Smith.

cognize any body claiming to be a senate
other than that organized by the selection
OF Hon. Nj. SanbOrn as president. The

points at issue. the alleged assumption of
duties by the executive not prescribed by
precedent or the fundamental law. They

transpired. 1t is thought that the seced-
ing senators will return this afternoon, and
that the business of electing a governor in
joint convention will be proceeded with.
| The Democrats claim that there can be
no legal election now, as the time prescrib
ed by the constitutional limit has passed
1t is not known whether any serious con
flict oyer this point will be made.
