looked cool and collected as on yesterday.
He stated that there was no change in
the situation since last evening beyond
the fact that the house would have quo
rum to-day, which was prevented yester-
day by the fears Of members. The sen-
ate still wants one TO complete "a quo
rum. Ex-Gov. Kellogg, L. S. Maj shall

in earnest conversation. All were very
reticent and declined to give any infor-

rections were then given which caused
such arrangements 10 be made that there
were no restrictions on any person either
entering or leaving The state house or vi

streets last night and iocked around
pretty lively, but made few or no a. rests.

train Of cars from Mobile brought III ser-
crsl companies OF United States troops
at II O'Clock last night.

And in its leading editorial on affairs Of
yesterday the Republican says; "As we
have at present no government in this
state whose authority is undisputed, and
As there are two or 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, If ever, as congress
shall coma to some conclusion and agree.
