Mr. Reagan, of Texas, offered a reso
lution filing the 16th of December for
the consideration of business, reported
from the oommittee on commerce.
At the suggestion of Mr. Morrison
the usual elause giving priority to
the revenue and appropriation bills was
inserted, but as Mr. Reagan would not
agree to the resolution, With the prior
peoial orders, Mr. Hatoh, of Missouri,
oljeoted to the consideration of the
resolution and it was referred to the
committee on rules. Committees were
then called but no reports were sub
mitted, and in the morning hour Mr.
Bragg, of Wisoonsin, on behalf of the
oommittee on,military affairs, called up
for aotion the Senate bill for the relief
of graduates of the military academy.
t enacts into law an enquiry as to what
is the o&use of paying cadets a salary as
lieutenants from the date of graduation
to the time of regular assignment as
officers in the army.
The morning hour having expired,
Mr. Caldwell, of Tennessee, called up
for consideration the electoral count bill
whioh was the special continuing order.
Mr. Hatoh, of Missouri, antagonised
the motion with another, providing for
the consideration of a bill to enlarge the
powers and duties of the department of
agriculture.
The House, however, decided by a
vote of 101 to 27 to consider the Senate
electoral count bill, with the proposed
House amendments.
In advocating the bill, Mr. Caldwell.
chairman of the committee having juris
diction of the subject, explained that its
object was to prescribe a mode in whieh
the eount of the electoral vote was to be
made and to supply an omission whioh
existed in the constitution. The passage
of the bill would settle all questions
which arose from time to time as to the
eleotoral count. It would deeide that
the power to count the vote did not re
side in the president of the Senate, but
that it resided in the two houses of Con
gress; that it was not a merely ministe
rial power, but the power to count, and
consequently to deeide the - legality of
tho votes to bo oounted. That tho ao
tion of the two houses should be sepa
rate upon all questions arising during
the oount, but joint as to the result,
thus preserving the dignity asd rights
of both bodies by conceding to each
equal and concurrent power without a
merging of the lesser body into the one
numerically greater.

The President is still suffering from
his attaet of rheumatism in the knee.
He walks with great difficulty. He has
refused to see eren members of Con
gress.
The second session of the 4vth Con
gress began at noon yesterday. Most
of the members are here, and there was
quorum the first day: All of our
delegation save one or two hare arrived.
Gen. Cox is at the Riggs, Col. Green
and Col. Cowles are at the National,
and Mr. Henderson is at the Metropolitan.
n a letter from Judge Bennett, Satur
day, he says he will be detained a few
days on account of sickness in his family.
There are several special orders pend
ing in the House, suoh as the Oklahoma
tml, the free ships bill, the Pacific
railroad extension Jill, Ac, and Mr.
Randall has two appropriation bills
ready.
I interviewed Gen. Jno. B. Clark,
clerk of the House. Saturday, on the
complexion of the next House. He
8bji he haf an unofficial list
that shows that body will be composed
of 163 Democrats, 152 Republicans and
4 Independents, with one vseaney from
Rhode Island that will probably be filled
bv a Republican. He thinks the Inde
pendents will divide equally between
the two parties. This gives the Demo
crats 16 mjmty, not counting the va
cant seat. Of the new House 195 will
be old members. ;

Some week or ten 'days ago Mr. W
A. Bobbitt, of this place received
Spanish letter from Havana. When
...... ... . .
tranalatcdr this was found to be tne pur
port: , .
"1 am an inmate" of tne city jau at
Havana. 1 have heard of your great
honesty and high toned character, ana
will communioate business of great un
portanee to us both. I and several oth
era abstracted a auanty of "swag" from
the Cuban treasury and fled to New Or
leans, where the Spanish gold was ohaag
ed into American bills, amounting to
220,000. I kept $2 000, and the res?
I put into a glass bottle, nermetioau
sealed it and buried it. Cruel fate car
ried me back to Key West. I wss ar
rested there, my baggage taken from m
and I was sent to jail in Havana. Il
m a . a
my trunk under a false bottom u a
plan of the place where tho money lies
buried I am s ex and in need of money.
and I pl'.ce myself under your protection
I havd presented a petition to have my
baggsge returned and I wish to know if
rou will accept the commission of get
ig the buried monej,ryou to keep it
till I am released, .only, aending ni
money enough to, get out of j ail. T r
your trouble yoa can , keep $106,000

It is prob tble that the pereoa bo me
aoaainted with Mr. Bobbitt's name
through the Tobaeoo Leaf," where he
has a curd as tobacco buyer. Of course
the whole affair is no hing more nor lers
tut money trap. It writing quite a
number of suoh letters he may strike
some one who is simple enough to send
him money " to get out of jail with."
Wo learn that several similar letters
have been received in Virginia; but we
don't aunnoae anv have been answered.
so poor Don Alfredo must still be in
a a a
jail, where most likely ne Dciongj.
