SPRINGFIELD, Dec. II, 1914.

A resolution passed the house yesterday
by vote Of 80 to 9, recommending TO
the people Of the state at the next election,
to vote for or against convention to
amend our constitution.
The resolution of the senate asking the
governor and supreme Judges of our state
to submit to reduction of % per cent.
of their salaries or resign, was next taken
up and passed by a vote Of 67 10 AZ.
Nearly the whole forenoon's session of
to-day was taken up in debate upon bill
reported by the Judiciary committee in
relation to the law of descents of real es-
tate. The main provision of the bill is
that real property possessed by woman
upon her marriage, shall, if she die before
her husband, descend to her children, or,
if she die childess, to her brothers, Sis
tiers, or next of kin of her blood, and not
to her husband, as at present. No dec-
sive action was had upon the bill.
A bill was reported from the judiciary
committee and read twice and ordered to
be engrossed, to regulate mortgages upon
personal property. making it necessary
that property so mortgaged should either
remain with the mortgage or be record
ed.
A curious plan was brought forward to-
day by Mr.. Davis of Mclean upon which
to complete the canal and pay off the
state debt. twas presented in the shape
of resolution directing the finance com
mittee 10 enquire into the expedency Of
its adoption. 1t is simply that compa.
ny shall be incorporated with sufficient
capital to complete the work, to VIII ON
upon their return TO the state of all heI
bonds and other evidences of Indebtedness
shall be conveyed the canal and all its pro.
perty, all the lands granted to the state
under the distribution act, and all the raj
roads, and property connected with them
the company to bind itself to complete the
canal, but having the privilege to complete
the rail roads, or any part of them, or not
as they may elect, within limited time
The resolution was adopted. but will
amount. TO nothing, as there is no difficult
ty to fore!ell what disposition the finance
committee will make of the matter.

Congress met on the % inst. There was a
quorum present in both houses on the first day.
The most importan, measure so far is the
adoption of q resolution resembling the famous
"2lst rule which prohibited the reception of all
petitions OH the subject of abolition. The whole
business was managed without the leas, excite
ment or uproar, and was the work of less than
half an hour. Immediately after the house met,
on the morning of the 81, John Quincy Adams
caught the eye OF tho Speaker, and presented the
resolution to rescind the obnoxious rule. The
resolution having been read, some half dozen
members contendcd for the ioor but it was ylel.
dcd to Mr.. Thompson of Mississippi, who moved
to lay the resolution on the table. The ayes and
noes were instantly demanded, and the names of
the members having been called over, it appeared
there were ayes 81 noes l04. The previous ques-
ton was now called, and without a word of de-
bate, or even an attempt, the vote was taken and
resulted in los ayes, so noes--thus, by majority
OF 2S, resembling rule which, though adopted
with tho best intentions, and solely for the pur-
pose OF expediting the public business, has occa-
stoned more angry feeling and taken up more
OF the time of the house, than any single measure
that has ever been before congress. OF the ILL.,
nois members, Wentworth and Hardin voted in
the affirmative, and Hoge, Smith, Fcklin, and
McClernand in the negative. Mr.. Douglass s
name does not appear among the yeas and nays
The announcement Of the result appeared to Gre
ate no excitement, and nobody appeared more as
tonished than Mr. Adams himself.
Mr.. Duncan has already introduced his bill fix
ing the I'd Monday in November as the day for
holding the election for prcsiden, in all the states
Il will pass at an early day.
Mr.. J. R. Ingersoll, wing member from Phil
adelphia city, gave notice on the 81 Of his in,en.
ton to introduce bill to alter the naturalization
laws Of the IT,. s.
Mr.. Wentworth in the house, and Mr. Sempe
in the senate, have given notice of their intention
to introduce bills providing for grant Of land for
the completion of the Illinois and Michigan ca.

Beer Drinking Many people sup
pose that beer is both an innocent and
healthy beverage, but those who have had
considerable experience in the matter as
sure us that its effect upon the system is
worse even than that produced by ardent,
spirits. The noxious ingredients Often
perhaps we should say universally--used
in the manufacture Of this article, render
i! peculiarly inappropriate to be taken in.
to the system; and its deIelerious effects
are rendered sufficiently apparent from
the fact, tina, physicians and surgeons al.
most always dislike to undertake the Ca
ses of sick or wounded men vino have
been habitual beer drinkers. An English
paper, some time since, stated that med
ical men in the metropolis are familiar
with the fact, that confirmed beer drink
ers can scarcely scratch their fingers with
out risk of their lives. A copous Lon.
don beer drinker is all one vital part.
He wears his heart upon his sleeve, bare
to death wound, even from rusty nail
or the claw of a cat. The worst patients
brought into the metropolitan hospitals
are those apparently fine models of health
and strength, the beer drnk@s.' The
slightest wound TO beer drinker often
terminates in lockjaw. Intelligent ply.
sicians in our own country, we believe,
generally atle,t the truth of these remarks
and upon the whole, it seems as though
water, bright water being the beverage
the Almighty has provided for us, is the
most suitable one for US to use.-NeaFS

THE Pretended Election Frauds in
Louisiaaa.-rhe New Orleans Republic
can of the 9Th inst, after abiding TO the
charge Of fraudulent voting preferred
against the Democrats of Plaquemines
parish, by the Bee and Tropic of that CT
ty, and copied by the Wing papers all
over the counlry-shows the whole story
to be false, by very plain statement OF
the facts Of the case. The Democrats
obtained about 1000 majority in that par.
ish, and because the vote was considera-
bly, larger than was ever cast before in
the parish, the Wings, justifying the OBJ.
serva'ion that suspicion haunls the gull
ty breast jumped to the conclusion tina,
the election was fraudulent. The Repub-
lican shows that there are eleven hundred
men entitled to vote, who are actual resi-.
dents of the parish Of Plaquemines, and
thus takes away the ground on which the
charge of the Wings was predicated.
The Republican also publishes letters
from Judge Leonard, John Claiborne,
Esq, aud Jno. G. Larue, Esq, fully re.
pelling the charge Of fraud as applied TO
the Democrats, bnt leaving strong sus-
picion that numbers of fraudulent Wing
votes had been polled in that parish.
