WASHINGTON, December 81, 1887.
Ground broken on the Mississippi contested
election case.
This morning the Speaker asked leave TO
present letter from Messrs. Prcntlss and
Word, of Mississippi, enclosing their Gre
dentials, signed by the Governor OF that
State, as representatives to the twenty
Rfth Congress.
Leave being granted, and the crede?-
tails read, cnrsory conversation ensued,
as to the mode ofdisposing of them-Cam-
breleng moved to refer to the Committee
Of Elections This was opposed on the
ground that that committee had already
prcjudged and settled the se,--that this
was not question to be sent again to that
committee; but, if to any committee, to q
select one or one ofthe whole house. Many
gentlemen spoke, pro ~ con, and the whole
thing ended, after a good deal Of talking,
in referring the matter as Cambreleng
had proposed.
Mr. Graves, OF Kentucky, was Of opin-
ion, TINT during the whole debate, as well
on the preliminary question Of reference,
Liberty advocate. [volume] (Liberty, Miss.) 1835-1866, 1838-01-20

as on the discussion Of the case upon its
merits, the claimants ought, by right and
by courtesy, to DO present and participate
in the debate.
To this il was answered that that would
be proper course, after some report from
a committee, or at such time as Aond be
fixed for the discussion Of the question up
on its merits.
Mr.. Gholson was not in the house. -
Mr.. Claiborne, the other sitting member
from Mississippi, (under the decision OF
the house, at the extra SESSION. expressed
himself satisfied that the canvass conduc-
ted by the claimants had been horofably
and generously carried on,--that he and
his colleague (who was now confined to
his house by severe iliness) had not pre-
sented themselves for re-election,--but had
abode, and intended to abide, by the re-
cent decision of the House, at the Extra
Session, considering that DECISION final
Mr. Graves motion was laid on the ia
bic by vote of 80 to 81; and it 6as by an
understanding that Messrs. Prentlss and
Word were to have every facility, at the
Aroper time, to defend their claims, upon
he floor of the House, that the withdraw
al of all other propositions than that oil
Mr.. Cambreleng, was effected, and the
call referred to the Committee of Elections
The committee will make (most likely,
another favorable report for The sitting
members, upon the question Of the accep
lance of which, the whole matter will be
opened for argument. Much interest has
been excited by this case.

Does Mr.. Van Buren, believe in the doc
trine Of Instruction by the people2 If he
does, like most of his democratic adher-
ents, ought he not to feel himself instruct
ed by the late election in New York, New
Jersey, Massachusetts,, Maine, Pennsylva-
MIA, Maryland, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana,
Mississippi, Tennessee, &c. &C. to resign
his office? His followers, in every State
where elections have recently taken place,
have been hurled from office, and their
power utterly annihilatod--only here and
there small "grease spot" Of Van Buren,
ism remaining enough to tell what
has been.
We shall see the consistency of probes
sions and practice, by the manner in
which the doctrines so tenaciously conten-
ded for by the subordinate leaders, will
now bc carriod out by their chief

HARD MONEY GOVERNMENTS.

Norway.--The peasantry live on bread
and Cruel, both prepared OF oatmeal, with
an occasional intermixture of dried fish.
Meat is luxury they rarely enjoy.
Sacsden.-The dress of the peasantry is
prescribed by law. Their food consists OF
hard bread, dried fish, and Cruel without
meal
Denmark.-Thc peasantry are still held
in bondange, and are brought and sold
together with the land on which they labor.
Russia.-The mobiles own all the land
in the empire, aud The peasantry who re-
side upon it are transferred with the es-
tate. great majority have only socages,
one portion of which is occupied by the
family, while the other is appropriated to
domestic animals. Few, if any, have beds,
but sleep upon bare boards, Or upon parts
of the immense stoves by which their hou-
ses are warmed Their food consists OF
black bread, cabbage and other vegetables,
without the addition of any butter
Poland.--In Poland the mobiles ore the
proprietors of the land, and the peasants
are slaves. A recent traveller says, 81
have travelled in every direction, and ne
YER saw wheaton loaf to the eastward OF
the Rhine, in any part Of North Germany,
Poland, or Denmark" The common food
of the peasantry of Poland-"the working
man"-is cabbage and potatoes; some
times, but not generally, pea black bread

dition of butter or meat"
AuStria.--The mobiles are the proprie.
tors of the land, and the peasants are com
PEELED to work for their masters during

classes are obliged TO repair all highways
and bridges; are liable at all times to have
soldiers quartered upon them, and are
compelled to pay one-tenth of the produce
of their labor to the church, and one.nintt

so luxuriant that he had been obliged TO
put up a new building to contain it. and
both the barns were found to be crowded
from the floors TO the ridge poles with
sheaves of wheat, rye, and oats; there be-

all this was obtained from less than 80
acres of land!
"The wheat weighs go lbs to the bush
