WasHlyG1oS. Thursday. Dec. II, 1873.
Both Houses adjourned early this morning, IN
respect TO the death of Hon. BARKER bUENEAh'
Member of the last House and elected 10 'Le p'o-
sent but who died here after the close % t,'o aS'
Session Mr.. ADAMS announced hls death "lth
s;ona, cloouence and deep feeng-wlth a ieliclsy
and d;rectness remarkably IN contrast with some
other announcements of the sort. believe this
IL the last death to be announced until death shall
claim new victim; SO that business will proba
biy be resumed in earnest tomorrow.
The primary question-that ofthc due election OF
the Members from thetour Nullifying states-ilas
not yet been disposed ofby the House-far from II.
Even the question Of allowing the Wing Members
to record on the Journal the fact that they pro-
tested against the admission of those Members,
with their reasons for it, remains undsposed OF,
though there can be little or no doubt of its fate
us the Protest has been once on the journal, ex-
plunged by direct vote; and Mr.. BARNARp's mo
ton TO re-record it has been met by the question
Of reception by Mr.. DRoMcooLE Ii this IS sus
tained-if the Whig Members cannot have their
propositions received nor entered on the Journal,
it would seem that they might well go home-
Perhaps this treatment is based on Mr.. kENNE-
DY's sagacious suggestion that it might be tound
that the General Ticket Members ,cere the only
ones duly elected! They seem, at any rate. to
have more rights than all the others.
The conduct and bearing of the Representa-
tives of Nullitication-whatev may be thought
of the validity of their election-is at war with
the dictates of common decency. Whenever the
rightfulness Of Mr.. JoNEs's election is called in
question, however incidentally, he instantly, like
Statesman and gentleman as he is, abandons
the Speakers Chair, to which he ought not to
have been elected while his seat was contested
but the choice was not his fault. But these Null
living geniuses from New Hampshire, Georgia,
Mississippi and Missouri, have no such nodesty.
On the contrary, the question which vitality al
fects them can never be disturbed without bring
ing two or three of them to their feet, cavorting,
and roaring, and splashng, after a fashion which
would be ludicrous if it were not disgraceful,-
Mr. BLACK of Georgia, who had Just arrived III
the City, distinguished himself IN this way yes
terday. He talked Of this being no party queE
ton in regard to his State, the Delegation being
divided in poitics-jlust as If every body did not
know that the Wings heartily approve the Dis
tricting requisition and tsied to obey it, as did
great portion of his own party, forming maJor-
~ of the Legislature, but their Districting bill
was defeated by the veto of a Loco-Foco Governor
Since then The PEoPLE of Georgia have vetoed
that Governor, and chosen a Wing Legislature
which has effectually Distrlcted the
State. Yet Mr.. BLACK and his Loco Foco col
leagues affect to thunder in the name of Georgia,
though she has repudiated them, their Nulihca-
ton, and their Party! The two Wings from
that State are in favor Of the Districting Law,
but say nothing.
There is a good deal of feeling in the ranks
OF the m:jority on the subject of the Committees.
1t is not exactly seen why eleuea Loco Focos
from Pennsylvania shoul have the lead in two
of the most important Committees, while t1oenty-
four from New York have not one. That the
Wings should have nothing is natural enough,
but that BeARDsLEy should have a secondary
place and DAVIS, MAcLAY, and the other twenty
odd none at all worth mentioning. The expla-
nation is that Van Buren needs strength IN Penn
sylvania and is considered strong enough in New
York.
am better pleased with the choice Of M'K.r
for the great post, incompetent as he is consider
ed, since am assured that he is the hearty advo-
cate of Retrenchment. trust he will probe
fearlesSly the estimates for the Army, Navy,
Contingencies, &c and know where the money
IS to go.-He is for Van Buyon, but zealously An

substance already, and only recur to them to
state that l omitted material portion of Mr..
Go0GIN's case. The law of Virginia says that
when, by reason oi rain or high water, the voters
have been Kept from the Polls, the officers may,
at the request Of one Of the candidates or his
asent, keep open the Polrs after the regular day
But Mr. GlLMER has publicly stated that the
Polls IN Madison were not kept open on his re-
quest; they certainly were not ON Mr.. GoGGlS's
or any agent of his; there was no contest for
the Legislature, and so there coald be no legal
pretert for keeping them open-of course the
votes of the second and third day are VOID, and
