cool and collected IA on yesterday. He
stated that there was no change In
the situation since last evening beyond
the fact that the House would have a
quorum to-day, which was prevented
yesterday by the fears Of the members.
The Senate still wants one TO complete
quorum.
Ex.Gov, kellogg, U. s. Marshal Pitken
and others were present, and engaged in
an earnest conversation, but all were
very reticent and declined to give any in.

about 10 o'clock last night Marslial Pit.
kin informed Gen, Augur that his
deputies had been refused admis-
sion TO the State House. Gener.

with Gen. Nichols, and stated through a
stat officer that this must be, stopped.
Gen. Nichols said il was not by his or.
ders, and directions were then given
which caused such arrangements 10 he
made that there were no restrictions on
any person either entering or leaving the
State House or vicinity. Nicholls' police
patroled the streets last night, and looked
around pretty lively, but made few or no
arrests. At midnight but few men were

In its leading editorial on the affairs
Of yesterday the same journal says
AS we have at the present time no
government in this State whose authority

three Congressional Committees trying to
find the truth about the late election.
Perhaps the President may deem it his
duty TO establish Martial law, till such
time, il ever; US Congress shall come 10
some agreement on the premises,
such step would at least give to the
business community season Of peace,
such as they understand it, instead Of
sounds Of war alarms and the tramp Of
armed men that all day yesterday re-
sounded through the streets OF the city,
Though we are tolerable well seasoned 10
popular connections here, there is deCi-
ded preference on the part of majority
Of the people for government OF any
kind, strong enough to maintain itself
over uncertainties, necessarily incident
to two armed hostile forces in the same
camp.

only interfere to keep the peace and that
when it was reported to him last night
that the Nichols police were preventing
government officials from visiting the
State House he promptly notified Nichols
