forth that, ; ; ' ;
Whereas. The Cot stitution nr-v
provides for the method of electing
Representatives to CoDgress and re

Representatives and whereas it is al-
eged that m the States of South Ciro
ina, Geofgia, Alabama. Louisiana and

Kesolved, That the Commi'tee on

to enquire whether such rights were
denied and abridged, and if so to what
extent, and who have been affected bv
such disnial and abridgment, and by
whom such abridgemet has been
carried on ; also that said committee
inquire into the fact whether any
Presidential electors in the late elec
tion were disqualified and whether any

House. The members of this body
met and answered to roll. The elec
tion of a Speaker preceded all other
business. Randall addressed the House
thanking the members for the honor
conferred, and calling their attention
to thd fact that he was elected t the
post on account of the death of Speak
er Kerr, to whom he paid a high eulo
gy, for the purity of his public and
private life. None appreciated more
than he. (Randall) did the great honor
of being called upon to preside over
the deliberations of the Representatives
of the American people, and in the dis
charge of his duties he should endeavor
to be absolutely, fair and impartial, and
while upholding all the rules of the
House he should protect each and
every member in his individual rights.
The House stands now in the pres
ence of events which in the last degree
demand the most careful consider f. ion
of every officer of the government.
He expressed the hope that the repre-
entatives of the people would act on-
with a keen sense of right so as
to carry out the just expectations of
the people and to enforce the right.
The credentials of C W But's, of
South Carolina, were presented. Mr
Morrison objected. They were laid
over. Banks presented the credentials
of Jas B Belford of Colorado. Springer
objected and moved that the certificate
be referred to the Committee on Judi
ciary with instructions to ascertain
and report if Colorado is a State of the
Union, and whether the person pre
senting the credentials was elected a
member of the House. Banks address
ed the House in favor of the admission
of Belford. Credentials referred to the
Judiciary Committee.
The Committees to go to South
Carolina, Florida and Louisiana, were
ordered, 6 to Florida, 9 to South Caro-

New York, Dec. 4. The Post's
Washington dispatch says there is no
truth whatever in the story that Presi
dent Grant in an interview with Hewitt
yesterday, said that'ihere had been no

The President stated-ihat it was hot
his province to decide whether the
