The following resolutions offered by
Governor Yarmouth were then adopted
and the caucus sdjourned:
Resolved, That we have received the
proposition OF adjustment forwarded to
US by the honorable gentlemen of the
Presidents Commission, and having con-
sidered it carefully feel obliged to decline
to accept its terms. If our legislature,
organized with quorum in both Houses
of the members returned elected by the
Retaining Board as required by law, be
illegal, as is assumed by this proposition;
fit be true, the legislature should be
constituted of persons pr,ma tacie
elected by the returns of commissioners
of elections, we still fail TO see by
what right an exception is made in this
proposal IN favor OF three persons from
the Seventh ward OF New Orleans, who,
by these prima taeic statements, were re-
turned defeated.
Resolved, That we dissvow any pur-
pose to trade the questions at issue be-
TWEEN the State governments, aud will
consent to no trade whstever. If we are
to have legislature organized on the
principle that the persons elected at the
bsllot-box should constitute each House
prima taeie, we know OF nothing
which gives our Democratic brethren the
right to make an exception to that prln-
ciple, although 1t may change the power
OF the respective parties and give the
Democratic party majority, which they
would not otherwise have.
ResoLred, That these resolutions be
forwarded to the honorable members of
the Commission.

key, and which has just been coereed
into q treaty of peace with Turkey,
which it is already charged with disre
garding. Bosnia and Herzegovina
lying next west are in insurrection
against the Turks, as they have
been for mere than two years.
The plucky little state of Aontene
gro, which for more than year has de-
fed the efforts of the Turks to subdue it
has refused to make peace with Turkey
because the latter declined TO abandon
its claims to territory conquered by the
Montenegrins. The Miridites, tribe
somewhat related to the Montenegrins
and occupying territory near them in
Northern Albania, refused TO obey the
Turkish summons to fight the Montene-
grins and are now fighting the Turks.
In few days they will receive Monte
grin aid, as the srmstice has expired.
South of Turkey lies Greece, waiting
its opportunity to aid revolt in the
Greek provinces of the Ottoman Empire
1t will be seen from this that Turkey
is surrounded on all sides by enemies and
is threatened with civil war within. But
the Turks evidently do not anticipate
being left to fight all these foes single
handed. Possibly they are correct in
this calculation. Austria is rapidly
massing its armies along the Roumanian
and Turkish frontier, either to protect
its own territory, to keep back its Slav
people from joining their insurrectionary
brethren in Turkey, or to take an active
part in the struggle, on one side or the
other. England will have to govern
herself with extraordinary discretion if
it would not be drawn into the quarrel
Germany may keep out. but the chances
are against its ability to do so.
1t is not unlikely that the course of
the European powers will be determined
largely by the first steps taken by the
belligerents. Roumanis must be entered
before the two belligerents can reach
each other in European territory. Rou-
mania is neutral ground, its neutrality
guaranteed by the parties to the Treaty
of Paris. Whichever of the belligerents
first enters it, may incur the censure OF
some of these powers, and possibly the
active intervention of Austria, which is
deeply interested in preserving a free
passage OF the Danube. The Russians
NAV wait some time on the left bank OF
of the Pruth for the Turks to cross the
Danube, and the Turks may rest on the
right bank OF the Danube until the Rus
SLAMS cross the Pruth, each hoping to put
the other at political disadvantage,
