All regard for principle is abandoned and it is simply n question of party, regardless of what issues are involved, that determines Congressmen in their votes. Cannon^ was turned out Chalmers was unseated, Dibble followed, Finley was sacrificed, Wheeler will be defeated, and then we think the ungracious work will stop until it becomes again necessary to make a Republican majority. This is all they have been contending for and by the aid ami assistance of Green backer's and Keifer they have succeeded. Having this majority their bent and determination is to obtain party measures and ad# vantage. All statesmanship, all desire for thegood of the people.

Unto Iler a Laving and Faithful Husband. A most elegant entertainment was given last night at the hospitable hiansion of our townsman Mr. W. Joel Smith?the occasion being the marriage of his daugher Miss Janie, whose sweet attractive grace had won the manly heart of Mr. A. B. Morse, of our village. The invited guests filled the spacious parlors, and at halfpast nine o'clock, the doors, between parlors and hall, were parted, revealing a tableau which, for beauty, female loveliness, manly valor, and graceful bearing, could not be excelled. The bride and bridegroom, surrounded by their chosen bridesmen and bridesmaids, formed a picture which could not have been improved. A perfect silence prevailed among the lookers-on, while the man of God, the Rev. A. A. Morse, of Gainesville, Ala., proceeded in a clear and distinct voice to perform the ceremony. When the bridegroom had promised ?i.~ 1 l,? l>t,1.1 h,. to IUKU llIC* Ulltic, n iioiii lie iiciii u4? tlie hand, tole his lawful and married wife, and had covenanted to be unto her a loving, faithful, and protecting husband, tlie bride promised to be unto him a loving, faithful, and obedient wife. The minister then said : "I pronounce you husband and wife, * according to the ordinance of God; whom therefore God hath joined to* gether, let no man p;it asunder." The assembled witnesses, still standing, were invited to prayer, when the officiating clergyman said: "Thou ever blessed God. Oar Father who art in heaven, grant Thy richest blessings upon this newly married couple. Bless them in their persons and in their souis. and as they are now united together in the indis.solul?le bonds of wedlock, so may they be bound together in the still stronger bonds of a common faith in a crucified Savior, and give them a place at Thy right hand at last. Bless ail who are assembled here, and now, may the richest blessings of a Triune God, Father Son,ami Holy Ghost, be upon this newly wedded-couple, and upon us all, for Jesus sake. Amen." The bridesmen and bridesmaids were as follows: Mr. A. \V. Smith and Miss lone Kmitli, Mr. 1>. w. jones una miss m. L. Smith, Mr. D. A. P. Jordan and Miss Janic Farrow, Mr. \V. C. MeGo wan and Miss Rena Allen, Mr. T. P. Colli ran and Miss Virginia Aiken, JDr. S. G. Thomson and Miss 2suna Perrin. Among the visitors from a distance we would mention MfssMamie Logan ?>f Charleston, S. C.; Miss Mamie Glover, Miss Jeanie Farrow, Miss Rosa Howie, of Atlanta, Ga. ; Miss Rena Allen of Spartanburg, S. C. ; Miss Ellen Dukes, of Asburv, S. C.; Mr. J. C. Sproull of Rome, Ga.; Mr. Clifton Jones of Atlanta, Ga.; Mr. John Jones and Mr. L. W. Jones of Newberry, S. C.; Mr. D. A. P. Jordau, of New York. The bridegroom is one of Abbeville's most worthy young men, and Ihe bride is universally admired for her modesty, for her beauty, and for the sterling qualities which make her the equal of the loveliest ami best of iier sex. The wedding supper, and the gener *nl arrangement of the entertainment was perfect in all the details that pleased the sight, or contributed to the taste, or added in any way to the pleasure of those whose privilege it was to participate with the household in the njoyruent of an occasion which is to l>e ever a memorable event in that 3'amily, and the recollection of which will ever afford the guests the greatest 'pleasure. After extending best wishes to the bride and groom, the guests bid -a<iieu to their host and hostess at; twelve'O'clock. The newly married couple leave to- j day for Gainesville, Alabama, where] they will remain for several weeks be- j lore returning to Abbeville. The elegant young ladies at present "visiting our town have captivated so ne of Abbeville's best ami most I noble hearts. The heads of our] beaux are turned, ar.d they now look j x i those | "Who by -some ?"weet maitlp poTpr New charms to life could lend.'* while they feel it the gre;itest privilege to worship at t>eauty\s shrine, rand 'in return to receive a smile of revojrnition from these divinities whose charms are irresistible and whose real worth is above that of the richest jewels. The State of Georgia, from all slier wealth of beauty, has here her fairest specimens. The cities of Charleston and Spartanburjr, the towns of Cokesbury an?l Asbury have liere ulso the richest treasures that ever made happy the sons of men, or rewarded the most sincere devotion of the most devout adorer. For good taste and refined art in dressing, for the possession of the polite accomplishments, for grace of carriage, and for all that goes to make elegance of style and beauty of person, the ladies of Abbeville would reflect honor upon any people in the world, andonthvs occasion, they, and their guest* from abroad, would have done <qual honor to a Queen's Court. Tiro Deadly Bloirs. I Greenville Wews.] Laurens, S. C., June f?. Onr town was thrown into wild excitement on Saturday by the news of the murder of Charley Lorans, a citizen of this p'.ace, and second boss of the trestle hands, by Joe Mazon. a negro, and one of the hancis. Mazon demanded thnt he help to shove a push car, which was no part of his duty. A difficulty ensued, <luring which Mazon struck Mr. Lorans with a heavy piece of hickory timber he -urns carrvinir. a severe blow on the si Jo of tho head, crushing in his skull and knocking him down. As he lay on tho ground the negro struck him again with all his force, and was aiming another desperate blow when some of the hands rushed up, and seized him. Mr. Lorans lived but a very short time, either of the two blows being sufficient to pause death. His borlv is still here, awaiting the arrival of his sister from Shelby, X. C. Mr. Lorans was 28 years old, and leaves a wife and one child. It was heart-rending to hear the shrieks of the widow and orphan over the body of the murdered husJjand and father.

Caleb Campbell Taken from Jml or Winnsboro' Rtid Ilangcd. | WlXXPBOTtO, .Tare 3. 1SS2. i j As already telegraphed to the New* <<>tr/ Courier 011 Wednesday afternoon, May 2-Kh, an outrageous assault whs eommit11e*l upon tho prison of Mrs. Martha i Rains, the wife of Mr. Jatnes A. Rains, near Bly'.hewood, in this county. The j circumstances attending the assault have been detailed, and aro briefly these: j About sundown on Wednesday evening I Mrs. Rains went to the spring near her i house to not a bucket of water. After , ?li<* had filled her bucket and was al?nnt returning to the house, Caleb Campbell, a colored man, approached her, threw his arms about her neck, and dashed her to the ground. Mr*. Rains resisted, cried for help, and after struggling on the irroimtl ior uvi- or irn iiioxnr^, nn> iiu^iwi I left without accomplishing his villanons 1 purpnsek being frightened away bv : sounds of art approaching wagon, j As soon us the news of the assault was) known in tho community a number of persons wore arrested ami brought before i Mrs. Rains for identification. When ; Caleb Campbell Was brought before her he was instantly identified as the person committing thp'assault. Ho was taken < beforo Trial Justice D. Hogan on last | Monday, and after a preliminary exaini! nation was regularly committed to jail ! for trial at the next Court of Sessions fori ! this county, which will be convenea on] j next Monday. The public were greatly ; incensed at the outrage and many threats jof lynching were made. j In order to prevent a resort to popular vi >lonce Campbell was broughtto WinnsI boro^ on the train on Monday night, in I flinrctf nf n sntHMjd constable, and SJlfolV j lodged in jail. I.ast night, between i'l land 1 o'clock, a party of about eighty inen rode into Winnsboro', and going to i the jail told the sheriff tlicy had a prisoj ner for hint. Not suspecting that anything was wrong the sheriff opened the | door, when he was seized bv several men , and roughly thrown to the iloor. On trying to summon help a saddle cloth was i thrown over his head to prevent any outcry. In spito of the sheriff's protests and resistance his pockets were searched ana the key secured to the door leading to the third story of the building where the cells are situated. A number of the men went up stairs and examined the cells asking at each cell who occupied it. | They forced open the cell in which Camp{ belf ?vas confined. As soon as he was led (out into the corridor a pair of iron handcuffs was promptly clasped around his | wrists and he was taken out of jail into I the street and mounted on a mule, in | front of one of the vigilance committee. A rope was placed around Campbell's , neck and the crowd went at full speed I down the Columbia road to a point about (three miles below Winnsboro'. There the mule on which the prisoner was | mounted was ridden under a large post l nnL" tiv>? mill (he rone around his neck j was thrown over a convenient limb. The I mule was thon led out and Caleb was left hangin;; between heaven and earth. As soon as the sheriff was released he went to the intendnnt of the town, J. J. I Neil, for counsel and assistance, anil as soon as he could get his horse saddled, set out with r deputy in pursuit of the raiders. On passing Major T. W. Woodward's residence, about three miles from Winnsboro', the sheriff stopped and called for help. Major Woodward joined the sheriff and went down to the spot where Campbell was hanging. Major Woodward examined the body and found no signs of life ami he and the sheriff cut th&ropeand lowered the body getUlj' to the ground. At the ir.rpiest to-day, after examining a number of witnesses, who testified to the material fat-Is as related above, the jury, of which Mr. J. IT. Ctimmings was foreman, rendered a verdict that "Caleb Campbell was killed and murdered by hanging by some person or persons to the jury unknown." The Revcnno Bond Scrip. As Judge Bond hns decided In favor of the validity of S1,wh),(K>0 worth of Blue Kidsre Scrip, which was made receivable for taxes by the lfcidicals. the status of the whole affair cannot but be of interest to the taxpayers at largo. We therefore publish In full | an Interview held by a reporter of the A'ewt > imri rvii/nVr with* Colonel RIod. one of the attorneys in the case: Jteporter: I see you arc one of the holders of tnc Bine Hide Railroad bond scrip, In the case recently decided In Charleston. Coionel Rion : Yep, I have teen connected with ttie case from the very beginning. After Jude Meltdn had decided the Bine Ridge ! State-guaranteed bonds to he a legal and constitutional issue und no appeal was taken from his decision, and subsequently these bonds were exchanged for the scrip (about M,000,00) bonds lor Sl.800,000 scrip.) and nearly all the scrip bad psssed Into the hands of J Innocent holders for value (bribers and bribed having unloaded,) a ca?e was gotten up byl the Republican officials (the Auditor vs. the Tremrer) to enjojn lhe reception of the1 scrip. This, I supf?ose. was a part of the 01 Initial robbery scheme. I intervetud by petition for Messrs. .-"outhern. Shiver. Swaffleld, Steers and others, and made a 6o>ia fide defence to the action. Judge Melton decided I against me, and on appeal the Supreme Court | decided that the scrip was "bills of credit," I having before them a beautiful colored eni graved bank hill looking scrip in denominations of Si and SIO. This decision Is fouud in the Fourth South Carolina Reports. It refers to a decision in a prior case tn same volume, and the decree in that prior case refers to fudge Willord's de< ision In the latter case. I cannot explain the anachronism. I only | know I took part in the first argument made j before the supreme uouru 1 | Reporter: Is not this fincy scrip you i | speak of the kind Involved in the case before j ! Judge llond ? | (Colonel Rton: Xo, sir! Look nt this. I Toes tills look like ft bank note? (Colonel j R., exhib'ted ft plainly printed certificate to' lie received as SI,100 for (axes, printed on common white paper a little larger and much broader than a bank note, and signed by) N lies G. Parker, State treasurer.) This, you] observe, is No. 1 of the Issue. This is the original genuine authorized issue. All the scrip In our case bofore Judge Bond is of t his kind. Patterson got of two other sets of fancy e >craved scrip, each for the full Sl.sofi,j lOr. If the State has any of this to Invest except where a bona fide exchange with the State can be proven it will not be with my | aid or consent. i Reporter! What doyon think about Judge Bond's decision andabout. the case generally ? j I Colonel Rion : You ask me to give h "H'ls-j | tory of the War," but I will give vou some) points: As to the history of the origin of the scrip 11 concur in any words of denunciation that can I be strung together. It was "conceived al fraud," A. You must bear in mind that the I parent was the Act authorizing the $1,000,000 j aid bonds, which itself was the child of the | Legislature, "Honest John" and co-conspira- j i tors being the accouchers. But when you i come to Messrs Wesley, Williams, Steers I and others, who paid down pood honest I money, or did hard work for what they re-! carded lesal obligations of the State, you] have anol her set of people to deal with. I oonsider the decision in the Supreme Court (except as regards Justice Wlllard) as a j partoi the oUginally planned pame of robl"k? a?,1 nllaw mo M foil vnn In mv rmin- I ion the Supreme Court of the United States; will so regard it. That de.-isi.rn will have little weight with I the United State.* Supreme Court. Ifeertaln-1 ly does not hind them The parties were different, the scrip was a different scrip, and the! United States Supreme f.'ourt will not allow I "a State to pass a law impairing the obligation of contracts any more by its Judiciary I than l>y its Legislature." and especial ly so; when theStnteltself is* contracting pcrty. | Besides,the United States Supreme Court; lias decided that a promissory note uiven fori 'hills of credit" is void ab initio. In a case I! | brought before the Supreme Court, Hank vs.; I Railroad rompnny, 'in 5th South Carolina, I! | think,) I insisted "that ttie note whs void be* I cause tsiven for the scrip which had been de-' I cidcd to b.' bills of credit. The Court dec ided 1 j the note to be valid, taking good care to sup-| press all mention of my main ground of ob-1 jjection. But I have the tiriel In full, and it' [ shows virtually the Court overruled their for-' ; mer decision. Don't you see the point? Pat- j terson A* Co. had sold scrip lor promissory: j notes, (the cause of action was tor S7.000 of: | Nenule's scrip, sold through an atient.i If; ; these notes were held to be void, a part of the ! ; fruit crop would fail. I am sorry tosi-e the legal grounds taken by I j the Xcwx cmd fy>\trirr and oth?>r papers. This 1 I may lull the people of the State Into a fatal t i Si curity. It will not do to deery Judge Bond i as a Judge. When It comes to the decision of j I a civil case, especially one relating to bonds i | issued by States, counties or railroads, orsub- | ! stint ted obligations, you will tind that he dejcides according to the law, and you will And ; it not easy to have him reversed at Washln>rt.?n .Indue ISond is one of the Quickest and | ablest Judges I have ever practiced before. If' j ranked with the present Supreme Bench he i would be placed high up. So do not take It i j for grant til that lie will beoverruled j The Slate of South Carolina (you may say 'the Republican State," all right, but II was j "the Slate"! bas made a contract to redeem I Its guaranty with scrip and to receive that for | taxes. It will be allowed by no legislation, or decisions of Its courts, to evade this contract. j j ills intimated by our press that the United j ' Stales Courts cannot enforce Judge I!ond's ] decree. Has it ever heard of Pickens or Oco-, j nee counties? Mandamus or injunctions by j the United StJ^es Courts not enforceable : against individuals. holding State offices.: I This is new to a reader of the recent declsj ions of the United Stales Supreme Court, i Why, read the City of Louisiana (Mo.) vs. the United States in last.

J.,) delivered a decree requiring a State Court of Louisiana to i>sue a mandamus compelling (he collection of a tax by the City of New Orleans,and that, too, when the Legislature o| the state had In- , blbited the courts of ttie Slate from issuing a ' mandamus. Reporter: What would ycti advise? ' Colonel Rion: I would say, don't let the people be lulled Into a fatal security; but let the State look the danger square in the face, ami while the case is delayed by the appeal make some compromise arrangement. After the appeal ll will l?c too late to offer compromises, unlcs I am very much mistaken. I advised this very course with the bills of the Bank of the State, when I was of counsel for the State, and believeu tho hills would be declared to have cease I to be binding obligations nfter theexpiration of the charter of the ,bank. Rutin such matters as these a State j had better not tuke the chances even of a good case. Frank James Negotiations for liis Pardon. St. r.ocis, May 30.?R.

If he believed In that allegation he would not sacrifice his honor and manhood ! by attempting to smother its investigation.1 He reviewed the circumstances of the case, stilling that lu the election there hod been fraud retlned and cheating reduced to a [ science, and Iheil procced. amid much laughter and applause, to detail the labors of the Committee on Elections in consideration of the whole subject. ! Mr. Moulton, of Illinois, followed with nn i argument in support or the claims ot Mr. Dibble to be retained in his seat. Mr. Jones, of Texas spoke In advocacy of the claims of Mr. Mackey, and then, At 5 o'clock. Mr. Calkins demanded the previous question, pending which Mr. Randall moved to recommit the report of the Committee on j Elections, with instructions to the committee : to Inquire Into the authenticity and Integrity ! of all depositions, returns and evidence of; whatever character produced In the case of Mackey vs. O'Connor. The motion was lost^yeas, V7; nnys, i:ff. The previous question was then ordefod?yens, 151; nays, 1. After a brief speech by Mr. Evlns. of South Carolina, In opposition to the majority report, contestee Dibble was P.ccordcd the floor to close the debate In hts own behalf. Here* viewed In detail the history of the case, criticised severely the actlun of the (Committeeon Elections In declining to investigate the allegations of forgery made by him, and quoted extensively from the testimony in order to ' sustain the truth of Ihe.seftliegatlons. He was ! frequently applauded by the Democratic side. Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, In a brief speech, closed the discussion. He had been surprised at the manner in Which the Committee on Elections had been abu?ed and maligned. With the fear of God before his eyes and the fear of roman In ills heart, he declared that it there had ever been an election case fairly and honorably tried by any committee It was the case being now considered. (Applause by Republicans.] In conclusion, Mr. CHlklns delivered a peroration upon the necessity of preservlnethe purity of the ballot box. which j was greeted with a round of applause from j the Republican side. In the midst of this apI plause Mr. Springer, of Illinois, rose and callj ed attention to the manner In which the Re* ! puhllcnn party had preserved the purity or : the ballot l>ox in 18rtf, when It had Inaugu| rated as President a man who hnil never been j elected. He was called to order by several members on tlie Republican side, but he continued to speak, though his remarks were inaudible, on account of the confusion, until called to o^der by the Speaker. The point was made that the remarks made by Mr. Springer should not eo Into the Rrcnrd. The Speaker sustained the point, but Mr. Springer said that if they did not go Into the Record they would at least go to the country. Hardly had he taken ids seat when Mr. Mills, of Texas, appeared In the main aisle gesticulating excitedly and charge I the Republican party with having defrauded the people in j 1S76, Again cries for "order" went up from ; the Republlca-i side, which, mlnizleu with | shouts of "s?'e how they squirm," and derisive I laughter, rendered the scene a noisy and conI fttoln?/v?A * \f II III AAnllnna/l with hla ? /?_ marks until the Speaker slated that he would order the Sergeant-at-Arms to preserve order. I "Yes." replied Mr. Mills, "the Speaker can I preserve order and suppress the Record, but he J can never blot from the history of this country that treason against the Government." The resolution seating Mackey was the adopt! ed? yeas. 160; nays 3. and Mackey appeared at the bur of the House and was sworn in. I Mr. MclAne, of Maryland, then rose to a I question of privilege, and sent to the Clerk's i uc^k a resolution reel tin? the fact that the House, in the exercise of powerexpressly conferred upon It by tlieConsiitutlon, hasordaitied and established ? code of rules for the government of its proceedings and for the guidance of its presiding officer; also, reciting the facts In connection with the Speaker's refuslns to entertain motions and appeals of Mr. Springer on Monday, declaring that he was not allowed his right as a Representative of the people to submit motions affecting the merits of a measure then pending, and that | this right of the House to construe its own rul?'S was not accorded; al<o, declaring that It Ik the duty of the House to maintain tho Integrity and regularity of its proceedings and to preserve the rights and privileges of its members, und, therefore, resolving that in the Judgment ot the House said motions and appeals were In order at the time thev were made and taken under the existing rules, and ought to have been entertained and submitted by the Speaker to the Hoosj for Its action thereon ; a'so, resolving that said decision and ruling of the (.'hair and his refusal to allow appeals therefrom were arbitrary and are conI demtied and censored by the House. While [ the preamble and resolutions were being rend more than hair the members on each side [ were on their feel and showing great excitement^ and as soon as the reading was concluded Mr. Heed, of Maine, moved to lay the resolutions on the table. Mr. Hlscock, of New York, simultaneously Inquired of the Speaker whether tho resolu tions were offered as a question or privilege. The Speaker stated In reply to Mr. Hlscock that the gentleman from Maryland hod advised the Chairman that hi' hud certain ies<>lutlons which related to the parliamentary aotlon of the majority. The Chair had distinctly asked him whether they were personal to the Speaker and had been told that they were not. Mr. McLnne?"They are not personal to the Speaker." several Republicans?"What ore they then ? They censure him." Mr. McLnne?"I stated distinctly to the Chair that the resolutions arraigned the action of the Chair and of a majority of the House." The Spenker?"The Chair distinctly understood that they hail no personal application to the Kpe iker, otherwise the present occupant ?f the Chair would have taken occasion to have left, the Chair. In this situation, and having made that statement, the Chair would very much prefer not to rule on the point of order presented by the gentleman from New York (Mr. Iliscock), but to allow a motion of the L'enllerran from Maine (Mr. Reed) to be put. The Speaker?"The present occupant of the Chair, however, is clearly of the opinion that the resolutions are entirely outside of aprl vlleged question," Mr. O'Neill, of Pennsylvania?"The chair Is quite right." Tlie Speaker?"It Is hot In order as a question of prl\ liege for one side of the Uonse to arra?ce the other side." A Democnitic member?'"The Speaker has a right to leave the Chair now," Tii? Knpakfir?"The Dre^ent oecunantof the Chnlr tfoes not desert his post of duty. [Applause from the Republican* and great uproar and excitement.] The Chair prefers to put the question." Mr. House, of Tennessee. Insisted that the gentleman from Mulno (Mr. Reed) had not the right to take the floor from the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. McLalne), who hud presented a privileged question. Mr. O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, declared, In a highly excited manner, that the House ought to dl?f>ose of the resolutions by laying them on the table at a moment's notice. The Speaker, in reply to Mr. House, said that a motion to lay on the tablo was always in order. Mr. Hlscock expressed his willingness to withdraw his point of order, if the Speaker decided to have Mr. Reed's motion submitted: but he desired tnoRt emphatically to put on record his protest ngalnst entertaining such a preamble and resolutions as a question of privilege. The speaker, In the midst of great noise, confusion and disorder, annouced that he entertained the resolutions, and also the motion to lay them on the table. Shouts from the Republican side: "Let us have a vote!" Mr. Cox. of New York, Insisted that the first thing In order, when such a question wus raised concerning the Chair, was lor the Speaker to leave the Chair. The Speaker informed him that there was no rule to that effect. Mr. Blaekburne. of Kentucky, took up the n^int mo.lA hv Mr FTmirip nf Tpnnpsupp- und asserted that the gentleman from Maryland (McLane) havng piesented a question of privilege wan entitled to the floor to urgue It, and that the floor could not he taken Irom him by a motion to lay on'the Uible. Extract* from the Rccord, which had just been read In preamble, showed that tlie Chair declared on Monday that motions to lay on the table were not always In order. [Applause from the Democrats.] Mr. Mcl'ook. of New York, put the parliamentary Inquiry whether the action of the majority was not the action of the House and 1 whether such action could qe arraigned T The Speaker attempted to make some further explanation and defense of his ruling, but there was so much clamor and uproar, and so many members shouting on both sliles. that no Intelligible report of what he said could be made. One of the most persistent claimants of th? floor was Mr. Cox, of; New York, who continued to asseverate In i louil tones that the gentlemen from Maryland could not bo deprived of the floor by a motion to lay on tne table. He was rapped to order by 1 the Speaker, and Informed that the Chair had a right ro recognize a motion to lay on the I table. He was also ad vised by Mr Miller, of Pennsylvania, to sit down, to which he responded by nrovine across the area to where Mr. Miller was standing antl gesticulating, vith his flst in the neighborhood of Mr Miller's face, a movement which was greeted with shouts of laughter and clapping of hands. In tho midst of disorder the Speaker ktilrifhaL he had a rlifht to retusft. on Mon duy. to entertain a motion to lay on tlie tuble (a* the rules were not then applicable), and the IIon?ehad afllrtned his ruling; but the motion, its now made, was under the rules, and was In order, and was(brineing down his gavel with an emphatic knock) not debatable.

They had not been mentioned In the pleadings or arguments before the committee ort elections. Carrows of Michigan, criticized the action of the Democrats upon the contested election cases, declaring that the Forty-Seventh Congress would pass Into history as one In which the Democratic minority nought by means hitherto unexamined in parliamentary practice toprevent the House from exercising Its unquestioned constitutional right to Judge 01* the election or Its own membere. It looked to hlin as though it were a well organized plnn on on the part of the Democrat! under the leadership of the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Randall) fo prevent the unseating ofDemocrallc members from the South regnrdless of the mcHnt or methods by which they were declared elected. The Northern Democracy realized that, wlt.hout the solid South it was nothing, and the South could not be kept solid by honesty at the poll*. It looked as if the Southern Democracy had served notice on the Northern Democracy that unless it stood by member-' sent from the South the partner FhIp would be dissolved. He then proceeded to read extracts from Southern Journal* urgging the Democratic party In the House to exercise the powerof the minority to the utmost In order to prevent the outstanding of Southern members, qnd declaring that any failure to stand shoulder to shoulder with Southern Democrats would weaken the party In the South if it did not knock the bottom out. of it altogether.

At this point Reed, of Malm?, objects to the further reatilng. claiming that the prenmble was merely a speech, nnd mnde the point, of order that It was not propprtobe Incorporated In a motion to recommit. In arguing his point of order he stated that the allegations In the preamble were untrue and that the resolution had come In under false pretences, Inasmuch ns the gentlemen from Illinois had merely given noire that he would move to recommit with Instructions. Randall, of Pennsylvania, snid that It was but due to the gpntleman from Illinois (Springer) to state that the prenmble was not drawn up bv him hut was placed !n his charge after he hnd concluded hlB speech. Springer declared that he had acted In perfect good faith and that If the gentleman from Maine. Reed, insisted to the contrnry he was acting without the slightest foundation. If he were the honornble gentleman that ho (Springer) hnd always regarded him to be he would In the ftlcc of the House and the country withdraw the Intimation of bad faith and falsehood. "Docs he do so?" Reed: "He does not." After a further running fire between Springer, of Illinois, and Reert. of Maine, in which the former accused the latter of acting an ungentlemanly part In charging another member with improper motives, nnd the latter saying he was willing to nsxume the responsibility, the previous question was called and Lowe declared entitled to the seat by a vote of 119 to 3, and was sworn in. WAaniNfiTOS'. I). C., Juno K?The second Florida district has been contested so mnnv times thattt took but one day to go through the speeches and swearing Mr. Blsbee, Republican, while Mr. Flnley goes reluctantly butgracefully out. after Mr. Dibble, who followed Mr. Chalmers, who followed Mr. Cannon. This Is bnt the beginning; of the procession, and It Is the Intention to go on with the firing; out and swearing In before proceeding to the renl business ot Congress. The Republican side fattens under the operation, while the Democratic side grows correspondingly thin. It Is a foregone conclusion that as fast as the cases are taken up the Republicans will be sealed. While the contest was going on to-day, the older members of the Housecould but feel very much nt home on hearing the familiar namoand the familiar charges from Florida district, which has been a contested one ever since the Seminole war, or awn.v back to the time of Spanish occupation,both contestee and contestant having at different times occupied scats after a double struggle, one before the election and the other on the floor of the House. Mr. Flnley who looks every year of seventy took the situation very unconccrnedl)' as Mr. Blsbee. who Is much the younger, was marched up and sworn In. Alter Ranney had spoken for Blsbee and Bcttzhc.over for Flnley, Mr. Jones, of Texas, a Oreenbaclrer, made a long speech for the Democratic contestee. thus performing the singularly Greenbacklsh feat of making a Republican speech for Mackey one day and a Democraticspcecli for Flnley the next. His f>resent attitude toward parties in the House s consequently about as near to zero as one can hope to ?ink toand survive. The House proceeded to the consideration of the contested election case of Blsbee a*alnst Flnley from the second Congressional district of Florida. Mr. Ranney. of Massachusetts, stating that he would demand the prehIaiia mioaMnn o I thlo cuan I n 0 nmt made an argumens in support of the ciuims of the contestant. At the conclusion of Mr. Ranney'a speech Mr. Feltzhoover, of Pennsylvania, spoke for two hours In advocacy of the claims of Ihe sitting number. He was followed by Mr. Jones, of Texas, upon the same side of the question. At the conclusion of Mr. Jones'speech, the f>revlous question wns ordered without dlvlson. After a brief sDeech by Mr. McMillan, of Tennessee, In opposition to the report of Ihe majority, Blshee, the contestant, took the floor In his own behnlf, but before he had concluded his remarks, the hour of five o'clock arrived, aud the House took a recess until eight o'clock. kveninq SESSION. After the recess, Mr. Blsbee concluded his speech, and the resolution declnrlng him entitled to his seat was adopted?yeas 141. nays 9. Those voting In the negative were Messrs. Burrows, Ford, Rice and Haseltlne, of Mis-1 souri; Jones, of Texas; Hardenhnrg. of New , Jersey; Fulkerson and PhuI,of Virginia, and Holman, of Indiana. The latter was paired with Mr. Kasson, of Iowa, with the understanding that he should vote to make a quorum. Blsbee then nppeared at the bar of the Houscand was qualified as a member. Mr. Hozelton. of Wisconsin, railed up the contested election case of Lowe vs. WheelT from the Eighth Congressional district of Alabama, and against this, Mr. Kenna, of West Virginia, raised a question of consideration. Mr. Wheeler asked and obtained unanimous consent lo make a statement. Twentyeight days after record in this cose had been printed he had been torc?d Into an argument before the committee. The case stood alone |n lV.nl 1t nno Anlw nnoa uKarn ?V.n argument war had before the sub-committee when the only Democrat on thut sub-committee was necessarily absent. It was the only case involving Important questions of law and fact, and where the contestee was only allowed seven minutes to utter words in bis own behalf. Now it was proponed to force this case before the House on the very day that the majority report was printed. Again, three of the gentlemen who were to argue the case were ab?ent, and one was sick. Yesterday he hnd selected other gentlemen lo present the case, but they had been unable until to-day to procure the report. Mr. Calkins asked that Mr. Hazelton should be permitted to reply, and at the same time inquired whether the Democrats intended to make dilatory motions. Mr. Kenna rose to accede to Mr. Calkins' request, and at the same time suited In reply to Mr. CalklnB' query, when he was interrupted by Mr. Robinson, of New Jersey, who insisted that Mr. Kenna should not continue unt.il Mr Hazelton had been heard. Mr. Kenna replied that he Mould not ir.ake a statement at all, unless permitted to do so now, but his voice was drowned In cries for the "regular order" from the Republican side. In the midst of the confusion Mr. Ha2elton was heard to exclaim that Mr. Wheeler had every right before the Committee on Elections, When order had been restored Mr. Kenna stated that when Interrupted by Mr. Rolreson he was about to ask unanimous consent to grant Mr. Calkins two minutes to reply to Mr. Wheeler. There wae no objection, and Mr. Calkins, while disclaiming any Intention to force a man Into a contest when gentlemen who were M> prc*eut iuni:<tne wtrciuicui., nhu uini. It would be deslruble lo know whether the gentlemen on the other Ride would make dilatory moilona or would help to make a quorum. Mr. Henna believed that he "represented the united sentiment of his side of the House when he said that no dilatory motion would be made or Attempted ; but that, after forcing a special rule in the manner lu which It had been adopted, in all cases, the gentlemen on the ot'ier side must develop a quorum.*' -Then we will go on," cried several Republicans. The House then decided, yeas H8, nays to take up the election case. Mr. Ilazelton took the floor and reiterated i his statement that the contestee had had full1 and ample opportunity to be heard, that his counsel had been heard as long as he desired, and that the gentlemen had been able at any j moment to get the report. Here Mr. Manning, of Mississippi, stated! he had gone to the document room this> morning, nnd had be?n informed that the report had not yet been received. I Then Mfssrs. Kenna and Cox, of New York, rose respectively to a parliamentary Inquiry and point oforder, and a stormy scene ensued, which continued tor some time. Mr. Cox insisted that he had made a motion to adjourn. Mr. Huzlcton having yielded i to him for that purpose, which lie had never j withdrawn, "and (to the Speaker) you know It." Mr. Tage. of California, rose excitedly and j demanded thai the gentleman from New York should be respectful to the Chair.

STEWART'S IMMENSE BUSINESS. Two Hnadred Employees Dismissed from the Wholesale Departments? Transfers to the Retail Branch? What Is Said in the Store. The New York Tribunr In noticing the discharge of about two hundred men from the wholesale departments of A.T.Stewarl <fc Co., ays: This Is regarded nlnong the employers of the house as the beginning of the end. From the present outlook the wholesale departments will be closed up by July I. what .foods remain on hand at that time will be transferred to the retail business. How the relAll business will be brought loan end Is not known yel. F.ven by forced sales at low price* It would require. In the opinion of well Informed persons at Icaat six mohths to dispose of the present stock. During the last six weeks there hnve been many evidences of the closing up of a largo business atSte-vari's store. Besides the counters where goods have been displayed by the regular Salesmen of the Arm. In response to the demands of customers extra counters have been placed through the building and supplied with specially engaged salesmen.; These counters have been rilled with goods; marked nt low prices. Price llckcts have l.een numerous nn<l conspicuous throughout the store, and the counters and passageways have been more crowded with purchasers than for many months before. Yesterday i there was a more noticeable activity among ' the employees of the store. Heaps of goods, i 11 great part of them evidently brought lo: light for the first time In months, Were scattered on Counters and tables, and salesmen were rapidly remarking the price? on the tickets attached Ihereio. It was not until late In the day that It became knovn that a large number of men had been dismissed from the wholesale department The news created considerable disquietude among the employees. A reporter nsked to see Judje H lton, but the latter bepgeil to be excused. Tlie various heads of departments refused generally to sneuk of the chances that had been nude anil those that wereconlemplated. "It Is stated," aid one man In the store, "that two hundred men have bpen discharged to-day. Another batch will doubtless be cut adrllt next Saturday nl?ht, for I hear that It Is Intended to leave each of Ihe wholesale departments with a man ana a Day, ana 10 ciose uicm up nnany on July 1." "Were these persons clven any notice?" "I suppose you may say they have hail notice. There has been every outward sign of the positive determination of Messrs. Hilton and Llbby to wind up the wholesale business with all possible dispatch. Dozens and dozens of men have been transferred from the wholesale to the retail department In the lust few weeks. No new goo-Is have been bought. Those that were on hand have been Fola off until there is now little loft. And business has been very light for the hint two weeks. This may all be conslilered as a notice. I don't think that any other wnselven until salaries were paid this evenftig, however." "What Is k?.own al?out the closing of the retail department?" was asked or another employee. "Nothing. Both Hilton and Llbby are peculiarly close about their business Intentions. They do not msike confidants of their most trusted lieutenants. We recelvc our orders we^k by week, and can easily discern the dl rectlon mutters are taking. Hut outside of this positively nothing Is known "How long would It take to cIosp up the retall business by Belling out in tbeusuul way?" "About Fix month*. But that proccss would be loo slow, I think, to meet the present Intentions of the management, and woiflu also be needlessly expensive. In old times of good business tlio running expense* of tills establishment wero comparatively Inconsiderable. But when one begins to charge these expenses up against selllng-out or a large stock of goods which are every day becoming older, less fashionable and less valuable, they are simply enormous. And then you have to consider that when you reach the end of any stock of goods all the best has been selected and the residue is almost valueless. It would certainly not be worth while to keep open such a store as this for Its sale." "What would be the expenses of seliinz?" "Well, the rent for six months would be Sli)0,000. It is easily calculated how large a percentage this I* of 000,000 the estimated value of the stock. The rent is chargeable, because the business belongs to Hilton and Llbby and the building belongs to the Stewart estate. To the rent must be added the salaries of i?mpioyees, advertising, stables and a hundred incidental expenses. The cost of selling out S2.000.000 of stock In six months would be at least 35 per cent. A. T. Htewurt A Co. could better afford to sell at 50 per cenl. reduction at once in large and small quantities than keep the business open. 'Do you think that the retail department will be sold out In bulk and will be closed tip j without delay?" r HiwIonM.xll v T ll.lnlr tli at iimlicl trill see the end of this firm." "How about the rumor* that the 'business wan to be sold out to other flrm??" "Well, they were all well founded. McCreery has been In here and irone throuchthe place with his principal assistants. Hut I do not U Ink that they had a satisfactory convetsatlon afterward with the two gentleman at the head of the firm. This has been the history of two or three other cases." "What has been the effect of this closlngout sole of the Stewart stock on the dry goods trade?" "It has been disastrous t > other dealers. It has not only directly affccled the retailers, but Its influence hns reached tlio Jobbing trade. The backward weather has also entailed much wu fieri ne on the smaller concerns and Interfered with the sales. Only two weeks remain for th^m to sell their s'ock of summer kooUs. Very few firms can aflord to cany over their stocks of goods. It not only means a sinking of capital, but by reason ot the change of styles wh'ch will occur, an actual loss of value. I expect to see several retall dry goods houses go under in the uext few weeks." While the reporter was in one of the departments he saw man after man go up to hid the superintendent Rood-b.ve. A few of them, who had been preparing for the chnnge, had secured other situations. But the larger number neither had new positions nor the prospect of any. JERE BLACK AND MAXCOCK. Pennsylvania Democrats to Propose the Latter for Governor?A Belief That He Would Defeat Don Came??v.w r? ? -1 n..... TV. run's raun, ucuerui j>t-ater, HIIU uedeem the State. Washington, May 31.?Several memhers or the Pennsylvania delegation have begun to talk nbouta project In the!r Hiatw with n view to the nomination of General Hancock for Governor. It Is added that Ihe suggestion originated with Hon. .Tere Black, whols now in this city, and who has lost no opj>ortunlty of urging the idea on his Pennsylvania friends. Judge Black's son is understood to he ft candidate for second place on the ticket, and It Is probably the Judge's idea that the nomlnHtfon of Hancock would curry such an assurance of strength as to make success tolerably certain. In conversation with a Pennsylvania Congressman to-day, I inquired whether there were really any serious design in this talk about nominating Hancock. "There may be, said he. "Indeed, I shall not be surprised to learn that there is such an Intention. But it may ultimately prove to be a shrewd political movement against Hancock?that Is, lo dispose of lilni effectually before the campaign of 1884 arrives. I think I can dlsccrn fcjeott, of Erie. In this proposed nomination. He is Tilden's confidant, and If he can. by any possibility, get Hancock in the fleld for Governor in that fctate, and get hlra well beaten, his purpose will have been accomplished. "Is It not more than probnblo that a candidate of the General's great personal populurl ty would pracilsaliy haven walk-over, id view of the serious Republican split In the Htate?" "Not unlesN Scott and the Democratic managers so ordered It. It would he the simplex!, thing In the world Tor them, with nil the State campaign mnchlnery under their control, to throw Hancock over and give enough votes to elect a Republican. There la another question, however, which may arise later, should this Idea of a nomination be carried out. Hancock being a soldier in the Rervlce of the Government does not lose his domicile, by reason of non-residence, and he would, no doubt, be perfectly Qualified to hoU office if elected. He would, however. In that event, necessarily have to resign from the army, losing rank, pension, position and prospects. Meanwhile he would l>e as far off from the Presidency as ever. Now I scarcely ihink that there lsany In)mediate probability of his retiring from the army to run for Governor of Pen nsylvanla." Gil Saturday and Sunday last Gen. Hancock was the guest of Jud|;e Jeremiah Black, at York, Pa. A gentleman from Harrisburg says that there was a conference at Bluck's house of several Democratic leaders In the State, and thiit It Is believed the object of the conference was to nominate Hancock for Governor. Hancock's military record would discount that of Don Cameron's man. General Heaver, iind tlie flsht between the two Republican faction* would render his ejection tolernbly iure. Other Pennsylvanlans?not Identitled with the Scott faction?alson take this view of the matter. They assert that the nro?pect for the parly electing tin Governor In their State next Kali Is better than It ha* been for ninny years, nnd that Hancock's nomination would be equivalent to his suecess, besides placing him on a very substantial stepping-stone lor the Presidency In 1881, HANCOCK AM) ARTHUR.
