Washingtou. May 23. -Senate.
The euateproceeded to the calendar

bill to prohibit the mailing of news
papers and other publications con
taining lottery advertisements. After
the reading of the report of the ma
jority of the committee in support of
the bill and that of -he minority in
opposition, Vest objected to the con
sideration of the bifl.
Wilson then moved to proceed
with its consideration notwithstand
ing the objection.
On this motion the yeas and nays
were called, and the Senate, by a vote
of 22 yeas to 29 nays, decided not to
proceed with the bill at present. It,
therefore, goes to the foot of the cal

rarily laid aside in order to resume
consideration of the bill providing
for the establishment of a bureau i of
labors statistics, Williams first giving
notice that to-morrow at 2 o'clock he
would call up the Mexican soldiers
pension bill.
The disposition of the labor bureau
bill occupied the remainder of the

He made the further point that even

i auon was now too late to make
. fihe motion, as the House had taken
action under the operation of the
previous qutauuu. , . r
The Speaker overruled the point of
order. The motion to reconsider
having been carried, it was in pre
cisely the same position as it had
been wnentne previous question was
o dered. As to the other point that
it was not in order to recommit
the resolution, the chair was of the
opinion that the term bill was a gen
eral term and included all legislative
propositions which could come before
tne Mouse.
Blackburn inquired whether it was
not a fact that under the law of Indi
ana ballots were only required to be
preserved for six mouths. That peri
od navmg expired tnere would oe no
offense committed against the laws
of Indiana if the ballots were de
stroyed or tampered with.
feelle, or Indiana, replied tnat as
a matter of fact there was in Marion
county a contest for the office of
sheriff still pending and that the bal
lots had been preserved.
The House by a vote ot yeas lz4,
navs 134, retused to recommit uie
bill.
Horr, of Michigan, rising to a ques
tion of privilege, said: "No ex
member of Congress has a right to
the floor if he takes it and then
abuses its privileges by attempting to
influence legislation here, l now rise
to say that it has been brought to my
notice by a Democratic member of
this House that an ex-member of
Congress, whois the father of one of
Ki! i iv: i 1
me iiuganus in tuxa case, una wxu vu
the floor of the House soliciting
members, sending for them, taking
them into consultation and attempt
ing to influence them in their votes
on this case. If that should be true,
it is such a. violation of the dignity
and integrity of this House that it
ought not to go unnoticed."
"I desire to say;" replied Randall,
of Pennsylvania, "that the father of
the contestant would be unnatural if
he did no5 take the deepest interest
in. his son's contest, (applause on the
Democratic and derisive laughter on
the Republican side), and I stand here
a witness to the fact that the gentle
man has exercised a careful proprie
ty in connection therewith." (Ap
plause on the Democratic side.)
"And 1 want to say, further,"
broke in Blount, of Georgia, "that it
is a notorious fact, known by all
the members on this floor, that this
rule has been violated time and
again by ex -members of Congress in
the employ of railroad companies
and in other interests, who have
been here importuning members on
this floor."
"Why did you not call attention
to it ?" inquired Brown, of Pennsyl
vania. "Why have you not done it f" re
iterated Blount.
"Because, I have not known it,"
replied Brown.
"Oh, my dear sir, you are a very
innocent person," returned Blount.
"I want to add that this rule nas
been obsolete for months and years.
It ought to have been enforced and
the gentleman from Indiana is cer
tainly excusable under the circum
stances, when the rule has been
obsolete in every other direction.'-
Springer, of Illinois, made the
point that it related to persons who
were interested in claims pending
before Congress. It had reference to
pecuniary interests and hired attor
neys coming on the floor and advo
cating the passage of a claim, and it
had never been assumed that it had
reference to gentlemen who were
looking after the interests of friends
or relatives in a contested election
case.
Horr said that he had made the
statement hot for any political clap
trap, (incredulous laughter on the
Democratic side,) but because he
found that the dignity of the House
and its honor as, being violated, and
he felt it his jiaty to call atten
tion to the fackrThe gentleman from
Pennsylvania si that it was natural
for a father to feel for his son. So it
was; but it was ettsb natural for him
if he had the sense of honor he should
have to do it in a sensible and becom
ing manner.
"And so he had," exclaimed Ran
dall. a
'And not do it," continued Horr,
"by outraging the rules of this House.
If you do not believe what I tell you,
investigate this matter. I promise to
prove a good deal more than I have
stated. Morrison, with a keen sense
of honor, would be found on this
floor doing wnat nas (een - .done in
this case. v ' '
The Speaker said that Ithe gentle
man had no motion before the House.
The fact that, the 'gentleman com
plained of is an ex-member was not
disputed, but it was alleged . that he
violated his privilege. '"That . was a
matter for the House rto investigate
and determine. ' It was not.a ijhatter
which thechair wulddeterhnne ex
partee.i'r: M Vvi-
White, of -Kentucky, . moved f that
the Sereednt at Arms be directed, id
arrest the Hoifc Wjni EL,, English and
oring mm to me Dar or tne uouse to
show whether he has violated the
privileges of the floor.
The motion '.was received with
laughter, and White subsequently
withdrew it, saying that he did so at
the request of the contestee.
? Cox. of New York, then rose to
defend h old friend who had; been
insulted by the motion. He gave the
origin of the rule regulating the
admission of ex members to the floor.
He had originally drawn up the rule
at a tune ween tne rvepuoucan party
was rising towards the "Very height
of Corruption, and when ex -members
come here to lobby railroad grabs
whicn tne .Democratic party was now
undertaking to torreit. (Applause
n tne .Democratic side.)
J4Uhken of . JJLame Is there anv
higher or more sacred claim than the
.title of a member to his seat !
- Cox- I would rather (have a man
come here Undertaking to present
the claims of his son honorably to the
House, ''than -your mean, sneakine
mercenaries that come here to crab
and raid the public Treasury.
sijyneJpo?.,Jt'ennsvi(vania, offered a
resolution instructing the committee
on jttuies w inquire anq report to the
House whether,or hot the Hon. Wm.
H. English, an xTmember of this
House; has jyiolated the privileges
thereof ta the contested election case
of English vs. Peelle. A
The Speaker said, that while the
resolution, undoubtedly presented a
question of privilege, hp did not think
tuat it was ot a mgner; privilege than
the .right ola member to his seat, and
except by consent, it ceuld not be of-
iered. i i "
Blaokbuin said the resolution
would be- adopted i by- acclamation,
Hoblitzell objectingBayne withdrew
cipn question; reviving in the min-
oni,y .resolution, it was lost yeaa,
128j nays, 129; and the majority re
solution was adopted yeas,- 130 ;
nays. 127.' William. E. English then
appeared at the bar of the House and
took tne oatn ot omce.
Bayne re offered his resolution as a
question Of privilege.
Dunn, of Arkansas, suggested that
it be amended by directing an in
quiry as to whether Green B. Raum,
a late member of this House, had
lobbied for the whiskey bill, i
J Thompson.-.' of . Kentucky.' ' hoped
that no such amendment 1 would be
Dressed. . 5' - v
- Bayne said that he made his prop
osition in good faith, for the purpose
oz preserving ine integrity ana aig
nity of the House. He cared not who
fought it; he offered it because he
had inf oi mation that a member of
this House had voted in the early
part of the proceedings, that he had
been asked to leave his seat, that he
had left his seat, that he had gODe
into consultation with English and
that he had thereafter disappeared
from the floor of the House without
having been paired. Having that
information he felt it to be right and
just that an inquiry should be made
by a competent committee.
(The member to whom Bayne makes
reference is Weller, of Iowa, who
voted on the first roll call to-day,
and did not do so thereafter.)
Whenever an ex-member came on
the floor and attempted to influence
any legislative action he should be
held up to public contempt and
hatred, and should be exposed in
order that the deliberations of that
body should be kept clear of any such
interference.
Nichols, of Georgia, inquired wheth
er an attorney for Peelle had not
been constantly lobbying on the
floor.
Horr replied that he knew nothing
about it, but he was informed that
Peelle's attorney had not.
Nichols I have been imformed ex
actly the reverse
Horr If the gentleman knows that
to be the fact and feels interested in
the dignity and propriety of the pro
ceedings of the House, the duty de
volres upon him of offering a resolu
tion of inquiry.
Nichols I refer to Jere Wilson,
ex-member from Indiana, who has
been on the floor in the interest of
Peelle.
Cannon, of Illinois I have not seen
him and I don't think anybody else
has. I
Horr said that since he called the
attention of the House to this
matter not a single man on the other
side had arisen in his seat and denied
a single thing which he had charged,
or intimated that it was not true.
We are not as suspicious as you
are, explained Cosgrove, of Missouri.
The only thing that comes from
members on the other side is that
vou're another, continued Horr. He
thought it unseemly and indecent
for an ex-member to lobby in a con
tested election case, and any one who
did so should be punished.
Springer: Are not two ex-members
Wilson and Shellabarger attor
nevs for Peelle?
Horr: Have vou seen either of
them on thi3 floor?
Sorinerer : I don't know that I have,
but I am informed that they have
been here.
Horr: Has anv one intimated to
you that they have spoken to a single
member?
Springer: Tbey are employed on
account of their ability, and the fact
that thev could obtain admission to
the floor.
Horr said that the Democratic
members whom English had impor
tuned could not be counted on the
finger of one hand.
A member: Who told you?
Horr : Get your investigation and
if it is not true it cannot be proven;
if it is true it will be apt to be proven.
I do think that as the gentlemen by
silence admit that this thing has been
going on for the last two days it is
time the House pureed itself of this
kind of work.
Randall: There has been no admis
sion of that sort, whatever. We are
entirely content on this side to have
the investigation made.
Payne modified his resolution by
errantine: the committee power to
send for persons and papers.
Hammond, of Georgia, offered an
amendment entrusting the investiga
tion to a select committee ot seven
members to be appointed by the
Sneaker and reauirinsr it further to
inquire whether any ex-member
employed as agent or attorney in any
contested election case or for any
railroad or other corporation having
anv claim pending, has during this
session abused the privileges allowed
him under rule 43, and report who
thev are. and how have abused the
privileges granted them.
The amendment was agreed to and
the resolution as amended was adopt
ed.
The bill amending the Thurman
sinking fund act, the bill forfeiting
the Oregon Central land grant, the
Congressional library bill and the
educational bills were then pressed
upon the House for consideration.
The Oregon Central measure proved
successful.
The consideration of the sinking
tund bill being voted down by a vote
of yeas 76 nays 130, and of $he other
propositions without division.
: The debate on the successful bill
was much in the same emper as that
upon tne contested election case.
George, of Oregon, and Call, of
Indiana, soon got into the dispute.
and pending debate the House ad
journed.
Grant and Ward.
New York, May 21. Receiver
Julien T. Davies, of the firm of Grant
& Ward, made an applicatin in court
to-day lor permission to redeem hy
pothecated securities out of the gen
eral iunos coming into his hands.
The motion was opposed by Francis
L. Stetson, on the ground that it was
premature, as the receiver had yet
made no inventory ot the property,
and it was not known what property
no. mignt use in redeeming securities.
The matter was nostDoned for hear
ing at a later day. Judge Donohue
to-day granted an injunction restrain
ing wm. B. Warner trom transfer

The Weather
ffor,the remaining few days of lovely
March cannot be depended upon to
please all persons. The streets of
; town, will be dusty, the dirt will be
made to circulate freely by reason of
some more March wind. However,
if this dust becomes unbearable the
citizens will find three feet of mtld
just outside the city limits. And the
weather for April will not be of such
a style as to remedy the dust, or dry
up the mud. ' However, we will gay
that when it does rain, your roof will
leak, if it leaked before, and when it
does not rain tbis leak can be stopped
with Mott's Ctompbund Fire and Water-Proof
Mineral Paint, and when
this is applied will not only stop all
leaks, but arrest further decay, and
at same time renders the roof fire
proof. The dry season to follow this
wet spell will certainly cause rapid
decay, and" the roof will then be in
perfect condition to catch fire from
sparks, etc. We will protect you at
reasonable rates'. '
