the idea OF bringing troops here, and should
not do it il peace could be maintained in
any other way. 1t would be his duty to
preserve order and prevent interference
with members Of the legislature.
AUGUSTA, December 20.-The Governor
decided not TO submit to the Supreme
Court the questions proposed by Morrill,.
This is obtained on good authority though
it will not be put in writing before to.mor-
row. The excuse for not submitting Is
that most OF the points have already been
adjudicated upon. There could not be an
oppCr unity to organize legal legislature
il a decision OF the Court were awaited, as
certificates must be issued to members
twenty days before the assembling OF the
Legislature. In addition, the Governor
claims he has no legal right TO withdraw
the certificates Issued, and since each
house is the judge Of its elections, il there
are wrongs they can be righted. The
Governor continues to receive numerous
petitions from all parts of the State pray
ing that the law points involved may be
referred to the Supreme Court.
