AUGUSTA, Me-, jan. 5.-The members
Of the Legislature are now assembled,
and the position Of affairs Is fairly dis
cussed on the Republican side, but the
Democrats are extremely reticent. A
remarkably large number Of these have
not read the opinion Of the Supreme
Court, and refuse to give their views OF
the result Of the incoming Legislature.
VIM. M. Rust, OF Belfast, a promi-
nent Greenbacker, says the decision Of
the Court settles the case; there can be
no successful opposition to that.
The Democrats are generally OF the
opinion that the decision OF the Court
is q partisan one, and they denounce it.
Judge Rice has stated in conversation
that the opinion Is good law, but what
effect II will have on the organization
he will not say.
As indicated in these dispatches yes
terday, Mr.. Pillsbury is out in the
STANDARD" denouncing the opinion as
partisan, and urging the counted-in
members 10 stand for their rights, and
not BE- bulldozed into giving up their
seats. This caucus to-day will be di-

IL has been stated on good authority
that the FusionistS claim that seventy
IS a quorum IN the House, on the
ground that only l39 were counted In.
Ihe Republicans nave issued circular
declaring that the position is not legal,
and Is against The recent decision OF the
court. They state that the Fusionists
