ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSE.

When we left the House to put our pa
per to press, the organization Of the body
had been arrested by the Wings. The
Clerk was permitted to call the roll, as is
che usual course, until after he had called
the name of the undispuled member from
New Jersy. He then stated that, in regard
TO the other claimants of seats from that
State, there was contest as 10 the validity
of the different returns Of members. which
he could not decide, and concerning which
after calling through the roll, and forming
the House, he would submit the state Of
facts, together with tAe documents, to the
body. One of the Wing members imme-
dately demanded the reading of the COM
mission of the Governor, appointing the
minority members. This was done. MI.
MERCER then called for the reading ofa law
in regard to the duty of the Governor, with
out permitting the certificates and proof on
the other side to be read. Calls were made
for the reading Of all the documents sent TO
the Executive office under the State seal,
but the Wings precuded this by keeping
up the argument Of the case on the erPGrte
evidence which they had drawn ont, and
thus supprcssing the clear proof OF fraud,
coming in the most authentic form from the
very Office and record from which the Wing
claimants derived the false certificates,
sought to make the discussion turn on one
sided view Of The case. Nothing shows the
weakness of the cause OF the Governors
appoinlees, more than this unfair mode of
procedure. 1t shows that they cannot ven-
ture to have the whole transaction determin-
ed on its rnerits-,hat they dare not subject
the validity Of their own certificate 20 be
tested by The records of the Governors
Office, Of which it forms a part. They seek
to intercept the case by lawyer-like clicane
and allow netting to be shown bpt what

Mr.. HALsTEAD, one Of the Wing claimants,

10 years, the daughter of Mr.. Abraham
Welch, who resides about ten miles in the
Forest North Of Lake Pleasant, was torn in
pieces, and almost entirely devoured, by a
panther ofthe largest size, on Monday week.
The child was playing on the bank of a
small stream, within sight and hearing of
the house, when the panther sprang from a
thicke, of hemlock, and seized her by the
neck, and after dragging her into the thick
et, proceeded 10 devour her at leisure. The
mother of the little girl had gone to spring
a few rods below the house, for the purpose
Of Obtaining pail of water, and she return
ed just in time to see the monster leap the
creek with the last remaining limb of her
daughter hanging from his mouth. Mis-.

language with reference to Mr. Jaudon ana
his agency:
ut may be imrortant to explain the true
cir cumstances OF the closing of the London
agency OF the United States Bank, in reply to
much distorted and entirely unfounded state
ment which appeared in the city article otthe
London Times, of Monday last, and which VIII
probably be seized upon with avidity tor ex'
tract and comment, by the American editors
who are hostile to the interests of'he Bank.
In the Times it is represented 'hat Mr.. Jau.
don Is about to wind up his agency and leave
England, in consequence OF the want OF sue
,ess which has attended his mission IN this
country, whereas, / am enabled to assert, on
the Eiost unquestlonable authority, that Mr.
Jaudon is certainly about TO make prepara-
tions for winding up his affairs and returning
to the United States, in the course OF some Blk
months from the present time but the d'scon.
tinuance of the special agency in England has
no connection whatsoever, with such crcum-
stance as are 8, falsely set forward by the
Time, for the mission of this gentleman was
never intended to be permanent, but arose only
out of the extraordinary state OF the money
market succeeding the panic of 1886 ; and
now the business being brought into satlsfac.

agency of the Bank of the United States is 10

Barring, Brothers & CO. These are the plain
circumstances of The case in answer to the ma.
lignant assertions Of the Tunes. against a
pc teman whose ability and gentlemanly man.
rers have procured for him an influence in the
city OF London, which show how ably he has
represented the Bank of the United States.

wOMEN-ABOLITIoy.

The following resolution was adopted at a
recent meeting Of the Anti-slavesy Society,
VIZ:
Resolved, That the roll Of this meeting be
made by placing thereon the names of all per-
sons, male and female, who are delegates from
any auxiliary society, or members Of this So
ciety."
Accordingly number of women were ad.:
mited as delegates, with the privilege OF
speaking, voting, and exercising every other
right appertalning to male members.
1t seems that portion of this Society are
for beginning the work OF Abolition at home,
and emanc,pating The ,oomen from slavery TO
the men. Ii Was by thus party that the reso-
luton was carried. AS we understand them.
they propose to compass the following ends:
l. TO free the women from the men.
2. To free children from their parents.
8. To free apprentices from their masters
4. TO free the negroes.
Or, to SIN up the whole matter in few
words, to free every body, black and white,
great and small, from the control Of superior.
