w hSHiNGTON, StI)t. 20, 1885,
Thn Committee on Elections, yesterday made its
report On the subject Of the Mississippi cectlons.--
The report, is an able and a very Gne one, covers
the whole ground, and may be considered an I'M
prejudiccd paper II concludes with resolution
decaratory that Mcssrs, John f. II. Claiborne and
s. J. Gholson, are legally members ofthe 25th Com
gress. and are entitled to their seats The report
wa ordered TO be printed aud was made the order
Of the day for Wednesday. Whether it will be
adopted or rejected, remains to be asccrtained NV
own opinion IS, that II wllI BE- adopted by small
majority, yet by something more than party vote.
know a number Of wings who will vote for its
adoption.
After The report was read and made the order of
the day for Wednesday, Mr. Maury Of the minori-
ty ofthe Committee of Elections, stated that he was
authorized to say, that the minority would not sub
nit a counter report, but that when the subject was
called up, he would move an amendment to the res
olulion. Mr.. GhOIson begged for himself and col
league, thai the report should be acted on without
delay, and SAID that iltley were not allowed their
seats they wished to know il at an early day, that
they might 90 home, and attend to a one sided can.
vass that was gong on.
Ibe bill, to suspend the Deposte Act Of 1886
was now taken up, and discussed till / O'Clock this
morning, in Committee Of the whole House on the
state OF the Union, and after all no action was had
on it. 1t will be taken up again to-day and the
probability is that it will b. forced out of the Com
nittee, and passed through the House. 1t is to be
hoped SO al any rate.
In the Senate, Mr.. Cay, held the floor all day on
the subject olthe finances aud Of course had large
audience to listen to him. lie spoke well, but not
with his usual ability, his was uphill business
aud the position he advocated he knew was untena-
bic.

and carried to-day. Yours, &c
