Committee From Judiciary to
Examine Situation.
"GovERNoR RULES COURTS"
Legislature Cannot Convene and
People Have No Refuge
From Military Outrage
and Misrule."

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Patterson
to-day introduced a resolution directing
the Committee on the judiciary to In
vestigatc the strike among miners of
Cripple Creek and Telluride. Colo. The
resolution was preceded by a long pream-
ole, giving an outline Of the history Of
the strike and of the declaration OF mar
tial law by the Governor OF the State and
the establishment Of a press censor.
The preamble closes in the following
language: whereas, by reason of the do
ings and attitude Of the Governor of said
State the courts of the State have been
rendered powerless to relieve its citizens
OF the wrongs and outrages committed
against them by the military authorities
of the State and TO protect the citizens
thereof CT any or all of their constitu-
tional rights, and
Whereas. the Legislature of the State
cannot convene until January. 1861 unless
the Governor may call it in extraordinary
session. which he has repeatedly said he
would not do. and by reason of the in
ability of the courts of the State to en-
force their writs for the relief of citizens
from military outrage and misrule. and
because the Legislature cannot convene
FOR more than year from the present
date to adopt proper remedial legislation,
and the government of the State IS who'll
~. by reason of the arbitrary an; uncon-
stitrtional action of tho Governor of the
State at his mercy and under his control.
and.
Whereas. the Constitution OF the Uni
ted States guarantees to each State Re-
publican form Of government.
Resolved. That the Judiciary Commit
tee be and hereby is directed to make in
yestisation of all matters connected with
ali existing labor strikes In the State of
Colorado. and as to the manner in which
the same have been conducted, and rs to
the conduct of the Governor of the State
IN the use of the military in the counties
in which said strikes exist as to whether
Or not there is at present Republican
form of government in said State and in
the several counties thereof, and what. IL
ANY, legislation may be proper and neces-
sary TO maintain il said State a Republi-
can form Of government: and to this end
said committee may appoint a subcom-
mfttee to visit Colorado for the taking of
testimony with such powers as to COM
mapd the attendance of witnesses and
the employment Of clerks and stencgraph-
ers as shall by the Senate be conferred"
