| The question as to whether Governor Hill could
legally he United States Senator and Governor
Of New York at the same time is one when TOW
crnor Bulkecy did not presume to pass upon.
He does not presume to make and unmakc uoV-
crnors of neghborng States, as senator iul
does Some people advised Governor BulKeiey 10
scnd fine rcou;sition TO Lieutenant-Govcrnor Jones
and refuse to recognize " POoh-Bah Hlll, nut the
Governor did not listen TO such i'll advice. He
will continue to send acquisitions to nm as long
as that person is acting as Governor of New-lork.
The officer bearing the requisition left Hartford
tonight for Albany. VIII Governor Hill recede
from his position, or will he persist, in the face
Of popular dcnuncation, in his refusal to recognize
Governor Bulkcley? is a question in which all
Iaw-abiding citizens in this State. and. in fact,
citizens who are not lawabiding also, arc now
chiefly interested.
The Senate and House met to-day for short
sessions The Democrats, who last night were
protesting their willingness TO leave The dis
putcd question of the recent election to the arpl-
tration of the Supreme Court, shirked the issue
this morning. Their proposition now Is, swear
in Morris and the other Democratic candidates
before tho House. and then We will send the
matter 10 the Supreme Court At the same time
they lay down the proposition that the Supreme
Court being a coordinate branch Of the State
Government its decision can be only advisory
and will not be binding on the Legislature. Inc
whole thing is rcfreshingly cool on the part
of the Democrats that the temperature has been
in the ncighborhood Of zero all the afternoon, and
the sidewalks of Hartford are one mass Of ice.
As matter of fact, the Democrats do not dare
TO 90 to the Supreme Court They know that
the mi,ts of faschood and misrepresentation by
which they have surrounded their position
would be swept aside there. The Re
unbcans intend, however. to try to
force an appeal to the court and the
Committee on Judiciary of the House has bill
in hand which will probably be reported to-mor-
row, looking TO that end.
The Senate while persiStcntly refusing to recog
nizc Governor Hullelcy IN matters where the
welfare of the State and the dispatch of public
business were in question, have, nevertheless,
recognized him in a case where it seemed to the
leaders that there might be chance Of stirring
ND old troubles by his act. Governor Bulkcley
sent the nomination to the Senate of an officer TO
succeed General Graham as commander of the
BRIGADE of the Connecticut National Guard. Gcn-
cral Graham pctitoncd the Senate 10 appoint a
committee to investigate his ease. Other commu-
uicItions from the Governor the Senate refused 10
accept. However, they appointed committee OF
Investigation. H. asked for 10y General Graham.
The committee held "A long session to-day.
