HOW THE LEGISLATURE MET.
In and Around the State House.
Political Gossip.
Wilt in the Chair.
The Troops Take a Hand and Eject
Members.
The Democratic Members Retire.
Mike Hahn Installed as Speaker.

In and around the State-House there was a
large number of policemen yesterday, a
majority of whom looked as if they would
have been happy any other place in the
world.
At the intersection of Exchange alley, Royal
and Charities streets, lines of police were
thrown across to keep the crowd back, a very
easy task up to the time of going to press, as
the crowd to all appearance didn't care -
cent about passing.
Orders commanding officers to be in at
tendance at the building, read "for police
duty" little dodge, it is generally believed,
to fetch the men, in hopes that when, in
Kellogg's opinion, the time had arrived, they
could be used for other purposes.
The twenty-five cases of arms were within
easy reach, and the doors were all barricaded.
Planks an inch and half thick, and about
seven feet long, had been placed on the in
side of each door, and strongly braced with
scantling.
| All members-those returned by the Board
mittee- applying were admitted without pro-
test.
It is reliably reported that the revenue
cutter, John A. Dix, has gone on cruise for
the missing member Cousin.
There were many reports current about the
Returning Board. That there was an inten-
ton to meet, is certain, but that the meeting
did not take place in the State-H is
equally certain.
Kellogg was on hand, but kept closely
within his Office. The hour at which he ar
rived is not known. He must have put in an
appearance very early, and it is more than
probable that he will retire very late.
| Badger, for some inconceivable reason,
considered it absolutely necessary for him to
put in an appearance, and he was in attend
ance, occupying an easy chair in the entrance
ball on St Louis street. 1t may be that the
moral effect of his presence on the morale of
the men was counted on.
Pinchback was looker-on, and seemed to
enjoy all he saw immensely.
| At lao the Democratic members entered
the hall in body with Witt at their head
and took seats The opposition crowd stray
gled in in squads, and at II 80 the hall was
pretty well filed.
Cain Sartain, reported missing, came up
smiling and was the hveliest man on the
floor.
At12O2 by the clock, vigers, Clerk Of the old
House, called the assembly to order and pro-
ceeded to the call of the roll.
The roll as completed by the Returning
Board was then called-only four members
were absent Vigers declared 1O2 members
