HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FRIDAY, APRIL IA.

The House resolved itself into COM
mittee of the whole, Mr.. 2omlinSon in
the chair, on the bill for the relief of

PLACE." for the election, there can be
no constitutional election until the time
and place thereof be constitutionally fix
ed. The consequence hereof is unde-
niable, that we can have no constitutional
election for representative to congress,
UNTIL AFTER THE LEGISLATURE SITS, AND
Fixes, BY LAW, "THE TINE AND PLACE"
OF HOLDING THE ELECTION.
Let any man read the election law and
the constitution of the United States, and
he will be forced to admit that you are
right It is vain and absurd to expect
an election fer representative to con-
gress previous to the next session of the
legislature; for it is an impossibiIity-

Gen. WILLIAM KING, the republican
candidate, has received an almost una
nimous suffrage, as Governor of the new
state of Maine, at the first election of state
officers just held in the new republic.
The committee Of inquiry into the COR
duct of Judge Tan Ness, of New-York,
have made report to the house of re-

express the opinion, "that there is no.

The House of Representatives yester-
day determined, SUD SiLentio, by decid-
ed majority, against postponement to
the next session of revision of the Ia
riff of Duties on imports.
A motion was Immediately laid on the
table, looking to system of Internal
Taxation.
We do not consider the decision, above
mentioned, as conclusive of the intention
of the House of Representatives finally
to act on the bill, during the session, but
as expressive of their desire to do so.
A decision was contemporaneously
had in the Senate, favorable to the Ma
nufacturing Interest, requiring the Army
to be clothed exclusively in articles of
Domestic Manufacture. Nat. Intel.
A bill has been reported in the House
of Representatives authorizing loan of
two millions of dollars for the current
year, and for other PURPOSES. The
!" other purposes" are, that such part of
the appropriation of ten millions of dol
lars, for the year 1920, for the payment
of the interest, and reimbursement OF
the principal of the public debt of the
United States, as shall remain unexpend-
ed on the 3lst day of December, 1920,
shall on that day be carried to the credit
of the surplus fund. ID.
The bill for the relief of the Surviving
Officers of the Revolution, has been re-
jected, in the House of Representative
we may say, decisively rejected: for,
after its failure, on the exhibition of such
zeal and ability in its favor, backed by
the unwearied industry of special
agent in its support, there is little hope
of its ever being again brought forward
with prospect of success. 10.
The Missouri Erhedition-T he Ken
lucky Gazette, received by the last mail,
casts bitter censure on the Representa-
tives of the Eastern states for the vote
in the House of Representatives adverse
to the further prosecution of the Mis-
souri, Expedition. 1t may arrest the
progress of misconception to say, that
the decision on that head would have
been very different, had it not been for
the votes of a part of the Western Re-
personalities in the majority. 1t is, In
effect, then the Western, and not the
Eastern interest, which has prevailed, on
this question, in the House of Repre-.
sentatives. BY the perseverance of the
same interest, the Senate has also been
convinced against its will" and the
Military Appropriation bill has passed,
with the appropriation for the Quarter
Master Generals Department reduced
to sum which excludes the idea of the
further prosecution of the Missouri Ex-
petition. IL.

Mr.. PRINTER,

Mr.. PRINTER,
was much surprized to find you
contradict the Kaskaskia paper when
it asserted that next August is the peri
cd assigned for our electing represen-
tative to congress. turned to our cleo
ton law, and 10 my astonishment | find
neither the time nor place fixed by the
legislature for the election of senators or
representatives to congress. But is an
act of the legislature necessary for fix
ing the time and place of electing sena-
tors and representative to congress !?
Will not our representative be elected at
our general election, without any special
law? l think not This opinion is bot
toned on the fourth section Of the first
article of the constitution of the United
States, which reads as follows, The
