TUESDAY, Jan. l6, 1888
MISSISSIPPI ELECTION.

MISSISSIPPI ELECTION.
The House proceeded to the consideration of the
Report of the Committee Elections in relation to
the Mississippi election which report was postponed
to this day
Mr. BRONSON offered the following resolution:
Resolrcd, That McsSrs. S. S. Preniiss and T. j.
Word arc not members of the 18th Congress, and
are not entitled to seats in this House such"
Mr.. WISE moved, as preliminary, that S. S.
Prentiss and T. J. Word be admitted upon the floor
Of the House, and be heard in support OF their app
cation.
Mr. BELL suggested that The resolution was not
in accordance with the formula adopted in the case
Of Isaac ID. Arnold. He suggested the following,
as a modification of il, which Mr.. Wise adopted.
Rcsolrcd, That s. s. PrentiSS and 7. j. Word
have leave 10 occupy seat within the bar OF this
House pending the discussion Of the report of the
Committee on Elections upon their petition; and that
they have leave to speak to tie merits of the petition
and the report of the committee thereon"
Mr.. FOSTER moved the form of the resolution.
He declared himself willing 10 grant to the appi-
cants every facility for prosecuting their application
but he did not wish TO put them on tie footing of
members Of the House. The resolution, in lis pre-
sent form, would give them the right of mingling
with the members in the debate which might follow
their argument on the question. He was not at all
particular TO the place from which they might adj
dress the House but he objected TO the phrase with
in the bar" because il seemed 10 be susceptible Of a
construction which might imply right on the part
of the applicants 10 participate in the general de-
luton so as to grant them permission to appear at
the bar of the House and argue the merits Of their
application for seats therein
After some debate on this motion wherein MeSSrS
Wise, Foster, Bell Pope, Glascock, Hamer, Reed,
Cushing Hanes and Birdsall, and others took part,
MIR BOON moved the previous question which
was seconded and the main question having been
ordered to be put il taken, and The resolution
was agreed 10.
Mr. HOWARD, Of Md, here presented paper
which he said was PIT into his hands by one of the
representatives from Mississippi MIR. Clabome,)
who was now confined 10 his lodgings by indisposi-
ton, and which he asked the House 10 receive as
reply to the statement Of The applicants which had
already been laid before the House. Mr.. Howard
made a few remarks on the subject, urging the pro
priety of placing the parties to this contested election
on a footing of equality before the House
Mr.. WISE remarked that the gentleman from
Md was not perhaps, aware of The fact that the
statement alluded TO BIZ him having been laid be-
fore the House BY the applicants, was printed BY
themselves, and not by order of this House.
Mr.. GHOLSON asked the gentleman from Md.
whether he had moved the printing of ne docu-
