A Constitutional Quorum.

Senator MORTON has expressed his
opinion concerning the Legislature as
now organized in South Carolina. lie
says there "a be no question us to its
legality. Tie Democrats in Withdraw
ing from the Legislature contcndea that
they left that body without Il legal qun-
rum reckoning upon the whole numOcr
OF members that may be chosen. Sen.
ator MORTON calls attention to the fact
that the Constitution of South Carolina
in its provisions concerning quorum
is the same rs the Constitution Of the
United States. In 1872, after the
Southern Democrats Withdrew from
Congress to engage ia the rebellion, the
question vas raised rs TO whether II
quorum consisted ola majority of the
entire umbe OF members provided for,
or whether quorum consisted Ola major
i,y ot the actual membership. This
question vas raised in both Houses, and
alter II discussion which ron over to the
next session, il was formally decided in
1862 that II quorum oil the i've House $
OF Congress consists OF "A majority OF
the actualmembcrship. The same ues-
ton WAS presented to Congress in 1869.
in the presentation of the vote of Indi-
ana upon ratiIying the Fifteenth Amend,
ment. The democratic members Of the
Legislature OF that State resigned in
order TO leave the Legislature without
n quorum, the constitution of Indiana
providing that two-thirds # the mem
bership shall constitute Il quorum. The
Legislature, in consequence Of this with
drawal of tho democrats. adjourned

elections to fill the vacancies, aud again
convened the Legislature. The appro'
p~riation bills were passed when the de.
mocrats. in order to defeat n vote upor
the ratification of the fifteenth amend
ment, again withdrew. The Legislature
thereupOn decided that two.ihirds o.
the actual membership constituted 1

amendment. This action was c~ertifie.
to Congress. in forwarding the vote 0
the Legislature on he ratification of til,
amendment. No question was raised IL
regard to il by Congress, and the vot,
Of Indiana as thus cast was passed upoI
and counted. These questions are iden
tical with the question which the Demo
