 Of the Senate Ia Revolutionary.
 HARTFORD, Jan 14.-Luzon B. Morris | is legally and rightfully governor of the state of Connecticut, Joseph W. Alsop | is lieutenant governor, Marvin H. San ger is treasurer, John J. Phelan is secre- tary of state and Nicholas Staub is | comptroller. They each and all took | the oath of office and furnished bonds | yesterday, and as they have been legally | elected by the face of the returns as shown by the canvassing board ; they are de facte the incumbents of those offices.
 It was after 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon when the resolution declaring the democratic candidates elected and calling upon them to appear in the senate and take the oath of office, was passed by vote of 16 tor.
 Amid hearty applause which had to be suppressed by President Read, Governor Morris entered the chamber and announced that he was present to take the oath of office and assume the office of governor. Then there was i'm pressive stiffness as the oath was admin istered to him by Senator Pierce. Governor Morris took the seat at the right hand of Lieutenant Governor Alsop. Marvin H. Sanger was then O. Phelan as treasurer, and Nicholas Staub as comptroller.
 The senate then adjourned until next Tuesday.
 Immediately after the senate adjourn ed Comptroller Staub went to the comp- troller's office, Mir Moore, assistant comptroller, being in charge, as Mir Wright was sick. Mir Staub said Being elected and having taken the nf nffIRn I fA foI of the office of comptroller" MT Moore stated that letters relative to the matter had been received from Mir Wright, Governor Bulkeley, who had been sent for, said that Mir Wright knew what his duty was, and he took it for granted that MT Moore needed no advice. "I, as governor, will recognize no one de- mandlng office until the general assem- ply makes declaration that they are elected, and if you need any assistance call on me as governor and it will be furnished. further say that I regard the action proposed at unauthorized and revolutionary"
 Mir Staub then gave notice to Mir Moore, in the absence of Mir Wright, that he demanded the office of comp troller. Governor Bulkcley then told Mir Staub that while he was governor he would not allow Staub to take the office of comptroller until the general assem- bly had declared him elected.
 When Secretary of the State Phelan made demand for the secretary of states office, he was told that the situation was understood and that possession of the office would not be given.
 Treasurer Sanger made a demand on ex-Treasurer Henry for the office of the oath and had filed bond of $50. 900 with Governor Morris. Mir Henry re- fused to give possession until the gener- al assembly had declared Mir Sanger elected.
 After ex-Goveronr Bulkelsy left the comptrollers, office he went directly to his own, where Governor Morris was waiting to see him. Governor Morris then made formal demand saying: "Are office to mel" Governor Bulkeley re. piled, "I am ready when the general assembly declares that you are elected and not till then"
 HOUSE COMMITTEE MEETING.
 The house Investigating committee met this morning at 10 o'clock, the five republican and three democratic mem bers being present. By advice of Judge Stoddard the democratic members re- fused to act with the others when it was learned that the republicans intended to go behind the returns.
 William c. Case. the republican counsel, then opened the case, the evidence being submitted in groups, First the returns from various towns was offered, showing that there had been thrown out for cause, 66 votes in New Haven, 8 in Branford, 9 in Stonington, l in Preston, s in Plain vile, in Danbury. These had been re jected because the names of candidates had been written in. In Salisbury II votes had been thrown out, 2 in Middle town, in Meriden, 4 in Haddam. each in Canaan and Lebanon, becaike the word "for" was printed upon them,
 John F. Kellogg made affidavit that 43 prohibition ballots had been thrown out m the second ward, Waterbury. for the same reason. George J, Turnbull l swore that in New Britain 15 prohibition ballots had been cast out. Mir Graham. a republican counter of NorwaIk. said that 30 votes had been thrown out there. and in Brooklyn had been rejected.
 In regard to the Bridgeport marked ballots several witnesses swore that in | their opinion the marks were caused by the printing press.
 John T. Parker swore that the returns through error gave Morris 276 votes in | Norwich, when in fact he had rece1ved | only 256.
