A NEW MOVE.

Governor Boyd called ON Governor Thayer
and was informed that the latter would not
give up the Office on the glound that he was
not citizen of the United States and was
therefore not eligible. This changes the
situation until nobody uares to say what the
outcome will be.
Governor Thayer has barricaded the execu-
tive office and remains inside with police
and company of militia on guard. 1t is
impossible to reach him to ascertain his pur-
poses, but it is understood that he will re-
main governor, if possible, until all ques-
tions affecting his successor are settled.
All of the newly elected state officers are in
possession of their offices except Governor
Boyd, who is kept out by Governor Thayer
on the ground that he is ineligible.

Mandamus Proceedings.

LINCOLN, NEB., January 10.-Al doors of
representative hall were closely guarded and
none but members of the legislature, state
officers and persons having business inside,
were admitted.
All the members were on hand promptly,
although they found great difficulty in push
ing their way through the crowds that filed
the corridor and beseiged the capitol at all
points.
The alliance members had taken possession
of the house at o'clock in the morning.
They placed the speaker in the chair and put
a Gordon of assistant sergeants-at-arms
around him.
When Lieutenant Governor Micklejohn
appeared he was not allowed to take his seat,
but stood in front of the speaker ready to
call the joint session to order. At O'Clock
the speaker issued an order for the arrest of
Lieutenant Governor MickleJohn on the
charge of misconduct in Office and breach of
the peace.
The lieutenant governor defed the officers
and was not taken into custody. Both sides
had force of sergeants- at arms within call
and any attempt on either side to proceed
with the canvass of the vote would have pre-
cipitated a row. To avoid this a committee
from each party was sent with statement
of the case to the supreme court and, at 1880
a. M, the house is waiting in suspense for a
decision as to which officer has the constltu-
tional right to preside.

stacked arms in the corridors, of the capitol.
Crowds are arriving on every train to attend

to canvass the returns.

ties and q baliff of the supreme court have
just burst in the doors of the house and
fought their way through the crowd of ALI

has been served on the speaker.
