New ORLEANS, Feb. 2.-Some day
ago the attorney general of the state de
clared that the house of the Radical legisl;
ture was without a quorum, and now
rumor circulates that such is the opinion
of the President and his cabinet. 1t ha
been said that the view of the President
that even majority of those returned b
the returning board will not in this cas-
constitute quorum. but that it takes
majority of the whole house, and that
majority must consist of members holdin
certificates of the returning board. Th

would therefore require Sc to constitute
quorum. The Republicans have SO sue
members, and unless three Democrat
duly elected as members shall join then
they can do nothing. The sensible Re
publicons see and fully appreciate this d
lemma, and manifest willingness to cor
slider plans of adjustment, The talk abor
compromise has already aroused a storl
among those who are determined to hol
out and die in the fesh-pots but it is cel
tain that the well-meaning Radicals will il
sist upon compromise with the Demt
Gratis, and that the plan will soon be effe'
ted.
